Chapter 656: Chapter 143: Return to the Ancient Dreams (35)

The man who had been sent into Shi Changxin’s boudoir had yet to come out, instead, doctors were frequently entering.

With Shi Changxin also requesting the kitchen to specially prepare some easy-to-eat nutritious meals, one couldn’t help but speculate.

"Could big sister have played the pretty boy to exhaustion?"

"I’m guessing it’s big. You know what kind of physique Changxin has, she’s got a super strong body that even we can’t match. Looking at that pretty boy’s figure, he’s not even enough to get stuck in our Changxin’s teeth, he definitely needs to be nourished."

"Ah!" a hefty man from Beast Battle Hall sighed, "Why does Changxin have a thing for pretty boys? If it were me, though I might not satisfy Changxin either, at least I’m better than that pretty boy..."

The complaints came to an abrupt halt, for the big shot of Beast Battle Hall had returned.

Gui He, the Crocodile Dragon King’s face was gloomy, and no one dared meet his gaze where it fell.

"Where is Shi Changxin?!" Crocodile Dragon King bellowed, "Tell her to roll out and see me!"

Not long after, Shi Changxin arrived at the boss’s office.

"Master..."

"Don’t call me master, I don’t have a disciple like you," Crocodile Dragon King snorted coldly, evidently on the edge.

"Don’t be like that, Master. How can you still be angry at your disciple?" Shi Changxin said with a cheeky smile, her face full of flattery.

Dragon King turned his head away, refusing to look at Shi Changxin.

But it was clear to any discerning observer that if Crocodile Dragon King didn’t want to speak with Shi Changxin, he wouldn’t have bothered to summon her.

Naturally, Shi Changxin understood this as well, so she shamelessly moved closer.

Seeing that her master was still ignoring her, Shi Changxin played her trump card and threw herself onto the Crocodile Dragon King, coquettishly begging, "Master, please forgive your disciple!"

Dragon King was notoriously indulgent towards his disciples, and he truly had no way to deal with this one, "So, do you understand where you went wrong?"

"The mistake was not slaughtering them all at Hong Tian Peak. If I had killed all those people, there wouldn’t be any tongues left wagging."

"You..." Crocodile Dragon King was speechless, is she still thinking of killing? Who taught her that?

"Chang’er!" Dragon King sighed, then said, "The royal city is going through a delicate time right now. Many are eyeing Beast Battle Hall, including Heavenly Gods from various clans. Before I left, I told you a thousand times to keep quiet during this period, but lo and behold, you’ve caused such a big mess. Do you know what they’re saying in the royal city now? They’re saying Shi Changxin is keeping a pretty boy, disgracing the name of Beast Battle Hall, and that Beast Battle Hall should be purged and rebuilt."

There was no need to guess, this must have been a rumor deliberately spread by those who harbored ulterior motives against Beast Battle Hall.

As a warrior of Beast Battle Hall, causing such a scandal during the clans’ time of crisis could lead to many civilians forming the wrong impression.

Keeping a pretty boy - such a matter could become mere dinner conversation for the public during the prosperous days of the beastmen, but now, it can be seen as a serious dereliction of duty to be criticized by the public.

The beastmen’s army had been defeated on the frontline, and here was Beast Battle Hall, not striving for progress but indulging in debauchery. Without eliminating such behavior, how could they revive the beastmen’s might?

After listening to Crocodile Dragon King’s words, Shi Changxin fell silent. She had grown up in Beast Battle Hall and regarded it as her second home. The idea of Beast Battle Hall being insulted because of her made her feel extremely uncomfortable, "Master... I was wrong."

Shi Changxin’s sincere apology, however, made Crocodile Dragon King rather uncomfortable, "Are you serious?"

Shi Changxin: ...

Realizing he may have spoken out of turn, Dragon King quickly added, "Anyway, I will handle this matter for you. But you must throw that Gui He out of Beast Battle Hall."

"That won’t do." Shi Changxin shook her head, "He fell into a coma because of me. I must wait for him to wake up before I can throw him out."

"We can make an exception for special circumstances. I can arrange a place for him to recuperate in peace. The longer Gui He stays in Beast Battle Hall, the worse the public opinion storm will be."

"But..." Shi Changxin wanted to find excuses to keep Gui He here, but she realized she had no valid reasons for him to stay.

Shi Changxin couldn’t understand why her father, despite risking exposure, had insisted on getting word to her to protect Gui He.

Shi Changxin wanted to unearth the secrets on Gui He’s person, to find out why her father was interested in him, but it was impossible to start due to Gui He’s coma.

Could it really be necessary to send Gui He out of Beast Battle Hall?

Thinking of her father’s instructions, Shi Changxin clenched her teeth and said, "No, Gui He cannot leave Beast Battle Hall."

"Hmm?" Crocodile Dragon King was surprised. Since she was young, no man had ever set foot in Shi Changxin’s boudoir, nor had she ever shown favor or glances toward any male beastman. What had gotten into her today?

"Do you really have a thing for that pretty boy?"

"Master, what are you talking about!" Shi Changxin rolled her eyes, "He’s just a pretty face with a silver spear, not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

"No!" the Crocodile Dragon King interrupted Shi Changxin in a deep voice, "You’ve taken a fancy to him!"

"I haven’t!" Shi Changxin denied it again.

"You have!"

"I haven’t!"

"You have!"

"I... I..." After several identical exchanges, Shi Changxin came to a realization and changed her tune, "Yes, Master, I’ve taken a fancy to him."

"Good!" The Crocodile Dragon King nodded in satisfaction, his disciple was truly transparent; he adored her!

The Beast Battle Hall playing with pretty boys was a disgrace to the clan’s reputation, but what if these two were already lovers?

All the rumors naturally collapsed when Shi Changxin came forward to admit her relationship with Gui He.

They were loving partners, after all, and even if they stayed hidden in their house for seven days, it was nobody else’s business to gossip.

The Crocodile Dragon King even came forward to testify, saying that in recent years, Gui He had actually been honing his skills and achieving breakthroughs with the help of Shi Changxin, and this is why he could gain such formidable power and defeat the Leopard people.

Not long after the news exploded, the Lion Heart clan spoke out to denounce Shi Changxin, telling her to draw a clear line with the young Turtle clan member as soon as possible, as she was destined to be the Young Master of the Lion Heart’s woman, and nobody could change that.

"Shi Feiqing!" Shi Changxin clenched her fists. The reason she had grown up in the Beast Battle Hall was all thanks to the Lion clan’s Young Master.

Before the Lion Heart Young Master chose a wife, every female member of the Lion Heart clan was his wife in name. After the Lion Heart Young Master broke through the seventh level of the bloodline, he would select three women from among all the Lion Heart maidens to be his wives, and only then would the rest of the Lion Heart women be free to marry according to their wishes.

And Shi Changxin, with her formidable strength, was almost the strongest woman of this generation within the Lion Heart clan, not to mention she was also the most beautiful among all the Lion Heart women.

Naturally, only a fool would not choose Shi Changxin.

When the Lion Heart Young Master was young, he announced that he would surely marry Shi Changxin.

Shi Chong’an was unwilling to have his woman arranged by the family, so he entrusted her to his good friend, the Crocodile Dragon King, and she had grown up within the Beast Battle Hall.

This public declaration by Shi Changxin undoubtedly touched the Lion Heart Young Master’s bottom line.

No matter what Shi Changxin did in the past, the Lion Heart Young Master would always help her out with the family’s power, but this was an exception.

"Young Master!"

"Speak!"

"Reporting to Young Master, Shi Changxin is unwilling to follow us back."

"She doesn’t want to come back?"

As he spoke, the Lion Heart Young Master stepped out from the depths of the scorching cave, each footfall landing on the fiery lava, his golden fur making him look exceptionally valiant.

"Is she my woman or not? Her messing around outside is one thing, but now she dares to openly admit a romantic relationship with another beast person; does she really not see me any longer?"

"Young Master." The servant retreated repeatedly under the imposing manner of the Lion Heart Young Master, lying prostrate on the ground, his body trembling.

The Lion Heart Young Master cast a glance at the servant and then tempered his aura, speaking, "Prepare. I am going to the capital."

"Young... Young Master, the Heavenly God is in seclusion now, you... you should try not to go out!"

"Am I, the Lion Heart Young Master, to fear those petty villains?!" Shi Feiqing spoke in a stern voice, "If that’s the case, then it’s just as well. On this trip to the capital, I want to kill all those who dare to harbor thoughts against the Lion Heart clan, to remind them of the fear of being ruled by my clan!"

With that, Shi Feiqing’s power surged, his eighth-level bloodline’s might oppressive like the heavens themselves, shaking the very souls of those around him.

Meanwhile, at the distant Hong Tian Peak, the Clan Leader of the Lion Heart clan lifted his wine glass with a slight smile, turning to his wife jokingly, "Look, our son seems to be challenging me!"

"Should we let Fei’er go? The Heavenly God has not yet come out of seclusion, our clan lacks the Heavenly God’s protection, and undoubtedly many are eyeing us during this period." The Lioness appeared worried, as the Clan Leader’s wife she understood well the chaotic situation among the beast tribes.

"No need to worry. It’s only right for our Lion Heart clan to face this challenge. My son is exceptionally strong, and unless the Heavenly God himself takes action, no one can kill him. Moreover, the three Heavenly Gods stationed in the capital remain neutral; they would not allow those malicious offenders to act as they please."

After listening to her husband’s analysis, the woman couldn’t help but nod in agreement, even though her heart was reluctant.
