Chapter 226 - 226 7 A bit of Regret

Chapter 226: Chapter 7 A bit of Regret Chapter 226: Chapter 7 A bit of Regret “Tsk, tsk…”

Feng Yin twirling the little one’s ears in his hands, feeling how soft and smooth they were, could not resist twirling them a few more times.

Flutter, flutter.

Even in the midst of sleep, the little one’s sensitive area was touched, its ears were still fluttering constantly.

When the little one woke up in the evening after a long sleep, without no hesitation, ate up a big bowl of Demon Beast meat, a large pot of fish and four Essence Pills; only then it felt full.

Walking around, started to tidy up its fur, clean its face, strived to present the most graceful posture.

It clearly indicated that despite having just gorged upon food, I, the princess, am still elegant, cultured, graceful, and substantial…

Feng Yin concurred saying: “Wow, so pretty!”

“So good-looking!”

“My Little Shadow is really dignified!”

“…”

Little Shadow happily pranced around Feng Yin, rubbing its body against him and jumping into his arms, hugging him affectionately.

Completely forgetting its earlier nakedness and the embarrassment of gorging on food.

Feng Yin sneaked a peek at the two empty bowls, his mouth twitched instinctively.

By the time Little Shadow lifted its head, Feng Yin somehow had a certain feeling, or perhaps it was an illusion.

Did Little Shadow seem to be growing more and more beautiful and more lovable?

Moreover, it was not just as a cat, but also resembled a human beauty, enticing people with its pitifulness.

Upon this thought, Feng Yin pinched his own thigh.

The evening was time for their regular lesson.

Feng Yin brought out the human children’s enlightenment books he had bought, had Little Shadow squat by his side, and started teaching word by word.

“This character, pronounced ‘ren’, represents human. This character, pronounced ‘mao’, represents you, a cat. For example, I am a human, you are a cat… do you understand?”

Little Shadow was immediately annoyed, glaring and puffing up its whiskers, clearly greatly displeased.

It’s like studying is studying, learning characters is just that, all of which was not a big deal!

But why did it start with these two characters every day?

Little Shadow pointed its paw at these two characters, then turned the page itself.

The meaning was clear and straightforward, obviously saying ‘I’ve already learned this, hurry up and change!’

Throughout this night, the learning efficiency was extraordinarily fast and surprisingly good. Although Little Shadow could not speak or really read out loud; each time Feng Yin questioned, it could answer accurately by writing silent words.

For instance, Feng Yin said: Human!

Little Shadow’s paw would neatly write a “human” character on the ground.

Again, Feng Yin said: Cat!

Little Shadow would write a “cat” character, albeit somewhat twisted, on the ground.

Well, the ‘human’ character is relatively regular, naturally neat is a matter of course, the cat character is more complicated, so it’s also reasonable for the form to be contorted. Too much cannot be expected!

There were also Sky, Earth, Spirit, Demon, Knife, Sword…

Little Shadow could all write them out one by one, without any error or omission, and naturally recognized all of the characters truly.

Witnessing Little Shadow being so insightful, Feng Yin who loved playing the teacher also started to make the little guy write essays, keep a diary, and indeed, it squatted on the ground writing carefully on the sand pad in front of it: The weather was pleasant today, with clear skies for thousands of miles, I went out to play, and killed a man…

Feng Yin’s mouth twitched as he read.

If the diary written by this guy was sent back to his previous life, not to mention her, but he, as a guardian, would be arrested in minutes, prosecuted by law, and severely punished.

After spending most of the night like this, Feng Yin felt both physically and mentally exhausted, while Little Shadow was still very enthusiastic.

For her, understanding these fresh knowledge, still held very high motivation.

This… these are human’s knowledge.

Once she learned them, she would definitely be able to put them to use and lend more help to her master.

By the time it was almost dawn, the extremely tired Feng Yin finally got to sleep, a good night’s sleep.

However, on this very night, Yuezhou City was once again stirred up by a major event.

The Yunxia Manor outside of Yuezhou City faced its deadly nemesis, every member of the family was mercilessly killed!

From top to bottom, men, women, old, young, servants, maids, guards, even cats and dogs, all living creatures… not a single one escaped, were all brutally killed.

This event was already shocking enough, but the even more shocking news followed!

Firstly, the manor’s master, Li Zhengyun, was confirmed to be killed by the Heavenly Judge’s assassin, Merciful Sword Hand, and the massive extermination at Yunxia Manor, however, the killers name was not on the Heavenly Judgment, even more mysterious!

Well-informed people have said, the only explanation for this situation, is that… The Heavenly Judgment deemed all these people deserved to die, for those who deserved more than death got slaughtered, the killers name naturally couldn’t make it onto the Heavenly Judgment’s list!

All the lives within the manor were extinguished, all the wealth had been plundered, not even a penny’s worth of property was left behind. Only an empty, dilapidated house remained.

As this matter was confirmed, many citizens of Yuezhou City not only didn’t panic but started to celebrate, they rejoiced greatly.

“Li Zhengyun, the demon, is finally dead! This wretched manor is finally gone! The heavens have opened their eyes, divine mercy is upon us!”

“Yunxia Manor, after countless evil deeds, has finally met its retribution.”

“This group of scum should have died long ago, why weren’t they exterminated sooner? They died too late, too late!”

“…”

After Feng Yin woke up, he only then heard the news. Zhuang Weiran, like a gossipmonger, had collected all the explosive news in the city.

And he bluntly pointed out: there’s a high chance that this was done by Supreme Mountain.

“Only Supreme Mountain would be constantly concerned with the movements of the assassin called Tender. Only Supreme Mountain would seize this opportunity to uproot Yunxia Villa, and only Supreme Mountain would have the guts and the power to completely disregard the backlash of the forces behind Yunxia Villa.”

“So, you can’t use your assassin identity for now.”

Zhuang Weiran said solemnly, “Supreme Mountain has already grasped your movements. As long as you continue to complete your tasks, the risk will grow bigger and your life could be completely extinguished. It’s hard to be lucky.”

Feng Yin agreed and nodded, “That’s right.”

He couldn’t help but glance at Zhu Weiran: If it weren’t for you killing that Mo kid, would Supreme Mountain target me?

Sigh…

But these words couldn’t be said. If they were spoken, he feared he would be beaten up by Zhu Weiran.

Zhu Weiran seemingly had no realization of the ‘troubles I’ve caused’.

He continued his analysis.

“Mo Yuanqing of Supreme Mountain would have called into question the remaining fish that escaped the net after your assassination of Li Zhengyun. While it may not unveil your identity, your strength will inevitably be revealed.”

“The power you exposed, compared to the power you showed when assassinating Mo Zhengdao, doesn’t match at all.”

“Based on your performances against Mo Zhengdao and Li Zhengyun, they should recognize your strong abilities to disguise. To ensure your eradication, Supreme Mountain will definitely send experts to combat you.”

“As it stands currently, if you continue to undertake the Heavenly Judge missions, your next target could only be Liu Mengjiang, who has been on the Gold Rank hit list as long as Mo Zhengdao and Li Zhengyun.”

“Given the current intelligence and your position on the Heavenly Judgment’s hit list, Liu Mengjiang is the only target left. So, Supreme Mountain’s simplest and most effective approach would be to plant people around Liu Mengjiang, lying in wait. Once you make a move, they will be ready to trap you.”

Feng Yin nodded repeatedly. Indeed, that’s exactly how it was.

What Zhuang Weiran said was straightforward.

Everything made sense, and no special reasoning was needed. It was all very clear.

If he acted blindly now, it would indeed amount to seeking death.

“Looks like Liu Mengjiang is truly lucky, he gets to live much longer.”

Feng Yin sighed.

Through these two Gold Rank missions, Feng Yin finally realized something: some people who are not listed on the hit list might not necessarily be innocent, and the number of escaped fishes are not scarce.

But all those listed on the hit list, none of them should be spared from death!

At this moment, not being able to act against Liu Mengjiang, Feng Yin felt a sense of “letting him off easy”.

After all, there were initially three gold rank targets, he had dealt with two of them, leaving just the last one. But he could not act; indeed, he was extremely lucky to have the chance to live much longer…

But the situation was as such. He couldn’t possibly risk his life for the mission, or to hunt down this demon. Despite Feng Yin’s self-consciousness that he had done his duty to eliminate evil quite to the true letter of the word, at this moment he couldn’t act.

Just as Zhuang Weiran had analyzed. Liu Mengjiang was sure to be surrounded by Supreme Mountain experts, waiting for Feng Yin to walk into the trap.

No matter Liu Mengjiang’s background or which force he belonged to, with such a myriad of elite bodyguards at this moment, it was undoubtedly the most glorious time in his life.

And this glory might last a long, long time.

Given this, Feng Yin, who flows with the current (fears death), naturally chose his secondary profession – a professional beast tamer.

However, this work was far too easy for Feng Yin, with no difficulty or challenge.

As soon as the little ones were petted by him, they transformed as if two different beasts.

Zhuang Weiran was truly skilled in taming beasts, far stronger in practice than Feng Yin who relied on cheating external forces. After some interaction, he had the little ones lining up in the courtyard, dividing them into groups for games. Within a few days, these little ones under Zhuang Weiran’s command were playing well in games that were only meant for six-year-old children, taking it very seriously.

He Xiangming came to see it and was shocked.

She thought to herself, these two uncles and nephews are both extraordinary. At least in taming beasts, they’re truly amazing!

She couldn’t help but feel that the opportunity for another auction was set!

And the number of pets in this batch was as many as thirty-six, multiple times larger than before!

“By the way, the next batch of pets includes some snake eggs, all are high-grade demon beasts. There are quite a few, can you handle it?” He Xiangming secretly asked Feng Yin.

…

[Humph! It’s proof that today’s update is complete.]
