Chapter 875: Hui Tai Lang, Scurrying On A Mission

“Are you sure you don’t want to leave?” Before leaving the Beast Valley, Yue Yang asked the Human-Faced Tiger and the Eagle King, who was yet to recover, once more.

“We have no one in the outside world and we have no one to worry about either. There would barely be any difference in us going out compared to remaining here. The most important thing is that after experiencing so many years of being trapped in the Beast Valley, we have become slightly uncomfortable with the changes of the outside world… But by staying here, we might be able to do a few things. Darius and the Lion King are willing to split the owners.h.i.+p of the Beast Valley into three parts, in which the Eagle King and I are going to team up as one party to take a third of the share. Although our strength has been slightly weaker, protecting ourselves won’t pose an issue. Besides, there are still many residents and beasts that remain loyal to us, too. If we leave, it’s going to be worrisome for them,” The Human-Faced Tiger smiled and shook his head, declining Yue Yang’s kind invitation, “Rather than going out and being a trivial speck of a person, it’s better for us to stay here in the familiar Beast Valley as a small leader. I practically recognise every single plant and tree here, anyways. After living in the Beast Valley for so many years, this place has become my home, so I’m a bit reluctant to leave.”

“Maybe I will go out in the future, but not now,” The Eagle King also expressed its grat.i.tude to Yue Yang.

“Sure thing, you’re free to choose whatever,” Yue Yang nodded and turned to leave.

The Poisonous Queen Bee, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, who have been temporarily contracted under the Reaper Mantis, waved goodbye to the many beasts who came to send them off.

Unlike the three of them, the contract could allow up to ten beasts to leave the Beast Valley. This in turn, made the Cheetah brothers, the Bobcat, the Rhino, the Elephant and the others go through their fair share of ideological struggles.

Some beasts, like the Human-Faced Tiger and the Eagle King, have thought of the Beast Valley as their home and were unwilling to leave.

For example, the old Mandrill ‘Long Hair’.

Some of the decliners turned out to be residents, as they would have to let their beasts die once or twice more before they themselves could become a beast.

This had also discouraged many residents. Only one resident named ‘Wind Fox’ committed suicide twice, exchanging its life to earn one of the ten precious places. The last place was taken by the original strategic tank of the Lion King, the Crow. If it hadn’t been for the Crow that day when the Toad King was in a fit of a ma.s.sacre, the Sickle Weasel, the Bobcat and the Rhino would have died long ago.

When the Crow expressed its wants to Yue Yang, there was no objection to the owner of the tenth place.

“Goodbye, my brothers,” Ryoma waved to his former friends, thinking about regaining his freedom soon and about the various things that occurred in the Beast Valley. For a moment, he couldn’t help but cry on the spot.

“Goodbye!” Almost all of the beasts and residents came to see them off.

Although there were only ten people who left this time, it also brought a glimmer of hope to the residents of Beast Valley and the beasts.

If there was a challenger like Yue Yang, who was able to train his beast into a Divine Beast, then there would still be the possibility of leaving the Valley.

Those who stayed in the Beast Valley knew that the possibility of this recurring was very slim, but at the very least, it wasn’t a desolate hope. An insane challenger like Yue Yang may never be there again, but even if one fails to cultivate a Divine Beast, a very wise Battle-Beast would have the opportunity to take people out of here. Compared with the Divine Beast, it’s nothing more than the added advantage of being able to bring out ten people instead of one. The Divine Beast could bring along ten people, whereas everything else that was not a Divine Beast would only be able to take one person out. But even so, it was not a futile wish.

After leaving the Beast Valley, Yue Yang and the Reaper Mantis returned to the outside world.

The Poisonous Queen Bee, Ryoma, the Sickle Weasel and the others all faded back to their original forms in a burst of golden light, becoming human once again.

It turned out that the beasts that were cultivated in the Beast Valley had completely faded away and dissipated, leaving Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel all but one Magic Crystal. If it weren’t for the Magic Crystals in their hands, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel and they even flashed a weird thought that they had really stayed in the terrifying beast valley?

Was everything real?

Was all that a reality and not a dream?

No matter what, they had reverted back into their bodies, which made them jump in joy. They couldn’t help but hug each other tightly, cheering as tears flowed freely. They shouted fervently and vented this excitement of regaining their freedom, “I’ll say, Sickle Weasel, is there anyone who is still waiting for you among your family members? If so, let’s go over there, then! Hey, wait! How are you from the Skyfire Clan? Were you not from the Night Wind Clan?” Ryoma yelled when he saw the real body of the Sickle Weasel.

“You also lied to me! You said you were from the Di Li Clan; who would have ever thought that you were from the Lin Bao Clan!” The Sickle Weasel also felt that he had been deceived.

“What’s the matter with them?” Yue Yang was surprised.

“It’s okay, the two clans are just natural rivals. Skyfire against Lin Bao— not a bad combination. I think they will start fighting in a little while!” The Poisonous Queen Bee herself has not changed much as she was originally a hybrid of bee and a human. Before she even finished speaking, Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel glared at each other intensely, as if they were about to start a fight.

“You two fight all you want!” Student Yue Yang yawned and waved his hand casually, “I want to go back to sleep for a while, so just do what you need to!”

“How shall we find you in the future?” The Poisonous Queen Bee asked the question that rang throughout everyone’s thoughts.

“Why don’t you tell us a location and we’ll lead the clan over!” Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel both felt that forming a good bond with Yue Yang would be the most promising for their futures.

“Who cares about you? Don’t even think about following this Young Master now that you’re out of the Beast Valley! Scram!” Student Yue Yang was angry as he didn’t want to work as a babysitter. Besides, there is no salary of which he would be compensated with. Who in the right mind would commit to handling such stressful and tiresome troubles? Did they think of him to be someone who was as kind as that idiot, Hai Da Fu? Someone who accepts being a leader at every second of the day? Dream on!

Yue Yang reprimanded them, making the tearful atmosphere of the farewell disappear immediately.

All of them fled in fright and no one dared to provoke the Third Young Master of the Yue Family. They knew that he was still resenting them for the fact that he hadn’t earned enough from the Double-Headed Black Dragon. At this moment, whoever provokes him will be very unlucky.

After Yue Yang left, the Poisonous Queen Bee asked everyone to gather and whispered a secret silently, “Conqueror City. He once accidentally revealed that several of his companions were training in the Conqueror City, so it would be impossible to follow him. Think about it this way— your skills are not good enough. You couldn’t break through the beast Valley, and you even needed someone to pull you out of there. If you have a younger cultivator in your clan that possesses great potential, then there might still be some hope. Okay, I’m going to leave, you two can continue to fight!”

The Poisonous Queen Bee also swished and disappeared into the sky.

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, they nodded unanimously.

Only fools wouldn’t mix with the Third Young Master of the Yue family. Even if they don’t expect the rise of their own clan, they could at least be sheltered with the backing of the strong, which would enable their position to be stable and prosperous.

“Ceasing our fight is unacceptable, but you are too weak. I’m afraid you will fall to the ground with a few punches and that would be very boring,” Ryoma sneered at the Sickle Weasel.

“I’m afraid that after two or three of my punches, you will find your teeth scattered all over the floor. If you have the ability, fight me! Whoever loses will be a tortoise!” The strength of the Sickle Weasel is very different from that of Ryoma’s. However, after experiencing life and death with the former resident, there were no longer any grudges between them and it was just a slur of words from his brazen mouth. The two punched each other’s chest first, and when the other party groaned in pain, they laughed again.

At the same time, they stretched out their hands and hugged each other’s shoulders tightly like close friends, laughing and cursing all the way.

The rest of the onlookers who were watching on the sidelines were asked a question by the Rhino, “They’re not fighting anymore, so what should we do?”

The Crow was the first to chase after them, “Who knows what will happen in the future, don’t think about things too deeply! I’m going to drink some booze!”

“Wait for us…”

The few remaining people also hurried to catch up.

They all came out of the Beast Valley, after all. Hence, they didn’t opt to care about their families or clans for the moment. Thousands of years have already pa.s.sed, what is a few days more to them? They should celebrate first!

Conqueror City.

Student Yue Yang found Fatty Hai and the others as he didn’t hesitate to train them like pitiful dogs.

He couldn’t help but show them a rarely small act of compa.s.sion, “After training for so long, you have made very little progress— you guys have literally soiled the reputation of the Tong Tian Tower. For the namesake of this Young Master, I’ll have to do something about this… How about I give you a bit of the ancient dragon’s blood to level up? Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare go into public and admit that I actually know you guys.”

Fatty Hai was angry, “Hey, my progress is obviously huge. And as a boss, I have set an example for the others, but Ye Kong, that primate, is an extreme sc.u.mbag. Even if he is just an underling, he will bring shame to the Tong Tian Tower, but I am most definitely the best performer. Look at my baby, she is almost a Holy Beast!”

The Wind Breath Seabird was indeed breathtaking as she had successfully taken the form of a beautiful woman’s head.

A portrait of beauty.

Her whole appearance was a human face atop the body of a sea beast, but she did not look evil at all. On the contrary, her aura resembled that of a Holy Beast.

However, her progress had nothing to do with Fatty Hai. Although Fatty Hai’s progress was great, it was not comparable to Xue Tan Lang.

While Fatty Hai was desperately bragging about her future ‘Beautiful Holy Beast’, the Reaper Mantis appeared out of nowhere and made him dumbfounded. After a long time, he trembled and asked in disbelief, “This is the Death Mantis that went absolutely crazy and killed Fei Long? No way, what’s going on here? How did you become so small, and you even reached the Extremely Holy Quasi-Divine Beast rank. I don’t want to live anymore, you are too much of a bully; it wasn’t easy for me to cultivate a Holy Beast, you know? Couldn’t you let me bask in my own happiness for one or two days before you hurt me like that. Wi- with you appearing like this, how am I, the genius young man of the Tong Tian Tower who has been recognised by the Heaven Realm, supposed to live?”

“…” Student Yue Yang was speechless.

“Fatty, you’re itching again, aren’t you?” Ye Kong couldn’t help but want to punch someone, and Hui Tai Lang had also rushed to help.

Even Xue Tan Lang and Prince Tian Luo couldn’t help but stretch out their middle finger towards the despised Fatty Hai. It’s not that they haven’t seen someone who grinded on their nerves, but this Fatty Hai was infuriating and asking for a beating to a whole other level.

It was definitely a shame that such a person represented the Tongtian Tower!

The veterans were also stunned, but not because they saw the Reaper Mantis.

They heard Yue Yang talk about using the blood of the ancient dragon to improve Fatty Hai. According to their observations and judgments, Fatty Hai’s potential has been fixed to a certain extent. Even if he could improve, it would be limited. Besides, the blood is rooted and is very strong, so it would be very difficult to alter it with foreign objects. Originally they felt very sorry for Fatty, but now they heard that Yue Yang still had a way to continue helping him to improve, they couldn’t help being shocked in secret.

Looking at Yue Yang more seriously, they found that this kid was already very different from when he first came to Conqueror City.

He seemed to be close to the Divine Realm now?

Youngsters were known to make rapid progress, but it is impossible to reach this level, right?

Originally, they wanted to ask him, but Yue Yang didn’t give them a chance. He smiled mysteriously before he used the Three Realms Compa.s.s to leave instantly and return to the Tong Tian Tower.

Only when Hui Tai Lang saw the Reaper Mantis lightly pounding Yue Yang’s back to ma.s.sage it, did he feel a sense of crisis. Hence, he hurriedly followed up and returned to the Tong Tian Tower together. No matter what, the job of flattering the master has to be entrusted to himself, and he couldn’t let that little girl take it away. As the most loyal beast right beneath the seat of his Master, Hui Tai Lang definitely did not allow others to challenge his own work.

When it comes to performance, Hui Tai Lang was definitely ranked first!

“Buried Sword Valley, I’ll leave it to you to follow along. If you encounter a suitable rune, it will be yours!” Yue Yang felt that it was also time to send Hui Tai Lang on a mission to save it from being too idle.

“Ahhh!” When he heard it, he was almost moved to death’s end. The Master is treating me the best, after all. He patted himself on the chest loudly, indicating that he would get the job done.

He was no longer going to the Tian Luo Empire.

He made a turn midway throughout his journey and bid farewell to Yue Yang before he went to the Da Xia Empire.

Let’s not waste time, I’ll have to prioritise finding the old fox Shui Dong Liu. Then, the Buried Sword Valley will be my possession!

[TL note]:

Heyyy it’s the last day of September, so dailies will stop today. But seriously, don’t worry about it. I think my pace will be updating like, i don’t know, at least 3-5 times a week, so honestly there wouldn’t be much of a difference haha.

So yep, new update!! At this point there’s more new characters that are emerging so I’m kind of making the glossary instead of referring to it. I’ll try my best to provide them as accurately as I can, so let me know if any of the names seem awkward or don’t flow all that well!

At any rate, enjoy the chapter! Hope you guys have a great day/night ahead of you!
