Boiling Beast Bloodline
Chapter 101 - 101 11 Traditional_1

101: Chapter 11 Traditional_1 101: Chapter 11 Traditional_1 “My boy, in this world, as long as intelligent beings exist, there’s no escaping power plays and politics.” The beautiful snake mentor persuaded in a coaxing tone, “Since it can’t be avoided, we must adapt to it.”

“Master Cui Beixi, is Prince Richard also involved in this?” Liu Zhenhan glanced at his snake mentor out of the corner of his eye, his tone a bit tricky.

“The Liger tribe is the eternal protector chosen by the God of War, you don’t need to worry too much about that.

Rhine Tribes are naturally flirtatious, they act this way toward all beautiful women, not just Helen.” The beautiful snake consoled Liu Zhenhan, “Sensitive lad, even a king wouldn’t dare to force a priestess who serves the God of War into doing something she doesn’t want to do.

Your advanced trial is simply Master Qi Dan’s way of appeasing the angry Scepter Shamans.”

Heh, the more you try to hide it, the more apparent it becomes.

If the Liger is so flirtatious, why isn’t he pursuing you?

You’re beautiful too.

Liu Zhenhan thought to himself.

“Haha…

I was just overthinking!” Liu Zhenhan feigned a carefree laugh.

He didn’t care being put on the spot.

Let them come, whether it’s the prince or the temple, if they really keep pushing, they will reveal their true colors.

Once the Four Golden Figures make their move, even their hideout can be destroyed.

“Mentor, doesn’t our upcoming trial in the South Cross Star Forest sound like we are being sent to our deaths?” Helen asked innocently, looking at her mentor.

“My dear girl…” Cui Beixi giggled, “Your paranoia aligns perfectly with the customary traits of Fawkes.”

Liu Zhenhan “drank” water, using his horn cup to block half his face.

“Helen, you know, the Fox Tribe does produce a great deal of shamans, but most of them have been appointed by the Main Temple to important positions in other provinces.

In fact, we in the Northeast Province are relatively weaker in the Kingdom’s five main temples.

How could we possibly send you to your deaths?

Don’t portray the temples as overly evil.” The beautiful snake rested her colourful tail down, “If we were to send you to your deaths, Great Shaman Wei An would send you to Taklagoma Desert.

It’s the perfect place for the trials of the Twelve Main Shamans and Great Shaman Wei An; it’s also the perfect place to meet your demise.”

“So what does it mean for us to be assigned to the South Cross Star Forest and Sunset Swamp?” Helen was still somewhat confused.

“Primarily, he wants you to suffer a bit.

On the other hand, he’s also notified the local army to protect you when necessary.

As long as you two come back looking beaten up, it will help those snooty shamans express their anger; his purpose would be served.

You don’t know, Master Puyol of the Horse Shaman House was originally set to represent Northeast Province at next spring’s ‘National Shaman Olympic Conference’.

His lava-toothed beast had a great chance of earning a high rank, but you stirred things up, and it’s now uncertain if his beast can fully recover by next spring.

Along with Master Redkenap’s incident, if you two don’t face some setbacks, the shamans within the temple will surely object.” Cui Beixi explained, “The dangers of the South Cross Star Forest are unimaginable.

I’m worried if you two encounter some powerful Magical Beast, especially since ‘Space-time Rifts’ exist in both the forest and the swamp.

If you encounter some powerful otherworldly beast, even with the army’s protection, things could go wrong.

I can’t bear the thought of my only apprentice of Natural Evolutionation Warfare Song and the grandson of the Dragon Shaman experiencing any misfortune.

Thus, I secretly gave you a bag of Magic Beast crystal nuclei.

You only need to venture into the South Cross Star Forest a little bit, there’s no need to go deep inside, then you can return looking terribly defeated.

Doing so would save face for everyone.”

Liu Zhenhan and Helen looked at each other, both somewhat moved by the motherly care of their beloved mentor.

“Heh, she’s a seasoned schemer…” Liu Zhenhan thought to himself.

“Mentor!

We appreciate your kindness.

We will still accept the temple’s arranged trial.

Being sheltered under your protection to gain the title of War Shaman feels like cheating and it doesn’t sit right with my pride and dignity.” Helen bit her lip and looked at Liu Zhenhan, “Right?

My dear Richard?”

“Of course!

It’s not our style.” Liu Zhenhan had no choice but to answer this way, even though he was rather unwilling.

Act in line, eat your fill; step out of it, starve yourself.

My dear naive Helen.

Liu Zhenhan felt deep regret deep down, lamenting the Magic Crystals he almost had but then slipped away.

“These two stubborn kids.” The not-so-old beautiful snake put on a stern face and played wise.

However, she felt proud and comforted by their response.

“Richard is a miraculous Dragon Shaman!

I have faith in him!” Helen hugged Liu Zhenhan’s arm, her face beaming with sweetness.

Actually, there were several times when she wanted to inform her mentor about Richard’s mysterious and powerful war songs, the Four Chaidai Golden Figures, the mirror boundary and more.

She greatly desired to showcase Richard’s formidable strength, but each time when she was about to spill the details, she managed to hold back.
