My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 580 - 579: New World

Chapter 580: Chapter 579: New World

Boom!

The smoke from the explosion billowed into the sky above the Dragon Spine Mountain Range, sweeping away the snow on the ridges with the resulting blast wave a short moment later.

"Whoo~"

Jingjing, with its fins trailing tiny whirlwinds, passed through the smoke and caught the falling Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng looked at the place on his wrist where Li Fangyan had grabbed him, twisted purple-black veins slowly surfacing, his face showing an expression of uncertain shock.

Was this, a virus?

At that moment, the smoke beneath Jingjing violently churned as an ugly head burst through, opening its gaping maw to bite at them.

"Whoo~"

Jingjing, rippling its gauzy fins, nimbly avoided the Poison Fire Flying Dragon’s lunge, before quickly twisting its body, its horn atop its head twinkling like ice crystals.

Boom!

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon’s tattered wings slapped hard in midair, dispersing the energy-gathering water cannon as thick as a bucket, pouring down a torrential rain of splash that cleared the smoke shrouding the sky over the Dragon Spine Mountain Range.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng sighed. Indeed, the gap between the fourth and seventh tiers was too great.

"Roar!!"

The Poison Fire Flying Dragon, riddled with poison tumors, glared at Shao Zifeng with hate, its mouthful of sharp teeth continuously dripping with viscous saliva, wisps of poisonous mist squeezed out from between its teeth, scattered by the chaotic wind raised by its flapping wings.

The scene on the large screen split, with the camera angles switching between Shao Zifeng, who had resumed his ice-based reaction, and that severely injured yet not dead ’Deer’.

"Deer is actually from Daxia, no wonder she’s always cloaked with a hood—is she afraid of being scolded?"

"Her pet beast is a poison dragon. That bonding reaction is somewhat sinister."

"Sinister? You actually call that sinister? Those purple-black lines look like worms; they’re disgusting, okay..."

"It’s just an ugly poison dragon. Our Duke has a fire dragon."

"Where is this so-called Duke you speak of? What proper person would call themselves a Duke—probably a character made up by the officials."

Li Family of Goryeo.

Li Xizhu watched the woman on the television screen, his expression turning from shock to anger, as he slapped the table hard: "Fiend! Li Fangyan, that fiend! She even infiltrated the Daxia Imperial Capital, what is she really up to!"

Having said that, he abruptly stood up, his fingers slightly trembling under the wide sleeves, his heart seemingly struggling violently.

"Old Qi!"

Uncle Qi leaned forward with a bow: "Master, I’m here."

"Miss Li Fangyan disrespects our ancestors and breaks our family laws with her arrogance and insolence, bringing shame upon our family’s name. I order our Li family forces in the Imperial Capital to apprehend Li Fangyan, and if there’s any resistance..." Li Xizhu closed his eyes as his aged face trembled: "Execute her on the spot, as a warning to others."

Uncle Qi’s face showed distress: "Master, please reconsider, she is the young mistress after all, you..."

Li Xizhu, with a sweep of his sleeve and a voice filled with anger, retorted: "Are my words no longer effective now!"

"Yes... Second Young Master, I... Hehehe..."

Splat!

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Li Xizhu smelled a faint scent of blood. He turned abruptly to see Uncle Qi, dressed in a Tang suit, slumped on the ground with convulsing limbs. A new wound on his neck was spilling blood and bubbles, clearly indicating a severed windpipe. The thick blood was spreading across the wooden floor.

Li Fengting was at that moment wiping a dagger with a handkerchief, looking with disdain at the blood that had reached his feet and the stains on his body, and he frowned in distaste.

"You beast, do you have any idea what you’ve done..." Li Xizhu fought to suppress the rage building in him, his fingers trembling violently as he pointed at his normally obedient second son in disbelief.

Li Fengting’s handsome face showed a respectful smile as he dropped the handkerchief and bowed slightly: "Father, this old thing dared to defy you. As your son, it is only natural for me to vent this anger for you."

Seeing this expression, the turbulent emotions in Li Xizhu slowly calmed down. He squinted his eyes and stared hard at his second son.

"Don’t bother trying, Father. The room has been sealed by the power of a Prime Originator. You won’t be able to summon your pets."

Li Fengting took off his bloodstained Hanfu and threw it casually to the ground.

Several maids efficiently cleaned the blood off the floor and dragged Uncle Qi’s body out before closing the carved wooden door of the room, leaving only the old man and the young man, father and son, inside. Soon, heavy footsteps and the coarse breathing of beasts could be heard. The room was surrounded.

Dressed in a suit, Li Fengting sat cross-legged at the desk, cradling a celadon teacup with both hands: "Why doesn’t the esteemed elder join his son in enjoying a good show?"

Li Xizhu glanced at the wooden door, knowing that if Li Fengting dared to do this, he must have made thorough preparations,

He looked at Li Fengting calmly: "Li Fengting, what exactly are you planning to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Li Fengting showed an appropriately surprised face: "Of course, it’s to return to our motherland, isn’t that what our Li Family has been striving for over a century? Or has Father grown accustomed to living in seclusion on this small island?"

"So, you’re collaborating with the Holy Origin Society?" Li Xizhu’s voice grew louder as he roared like a lion in its twilight years: "Do you even realize what you’re doing!!"

The hand holding the teacup paused, and Li Fengting, as if infuriated, kicked over the table in front of him. The scalding tea spilled onto the floor: "It’s always like this, always. You cling to your outdated and obstinate theories, beating and scolding us at the slightest transgression."

"But Father, you regard Daxia as your homeland, yet your homeland sees you as an overseas compatriot!!"

Father and son locked eyes, and apart from the sound of the television, only Li Fengting’s heavy breathing filled the room.

After venting the resentment that he had repressed for many years, Li Fengting steadied his shaking hands and straightened his tie, speaking calmly: "Now we have a chance to go back. Once successful, half of the Daxia territory will belong to our Li Family, and you, as the ’former family head,’ will have lived up to our ancestors."

Li Xizhu looked at Li Fengting, feeling a sense of strangeness in his gaze: "So, for that so-called half of the kingdom, you’re willing to plunge the common people of Daxia into dire straits."

Li Fengting sneered: "Daxia has obstructed the Holy Origin Society’s path. Our Li Family is merely going with the flow. Besides, the arrival of the new world inevitably cleanses the scabies of the old society. Necessary sacrifices must be made."

With that, he pointed at the television screen showing Li Fangyan: "Besides, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Holy Origin Society. You’ve seen it yourself—Fangyan, even when gravely injured, can quickly heal her internal wounds, and besides that, she now possesses a terrifying power far beyond human capability."

"What I can tell you is that there are more than one person like Fangyan in the Daxia Imperial Capital at this moment."

"And you will witness it all with your own eyes."

Just then, a commotion came from outside the door, and soon after, someone spoke in Korean with respect: "Second Young Master, Qi Donglai, the old man, has faked his death, and several people have fled just now."

Li Fengting’s face instantly darkened: "Send people to eliminate the deserters, and at the same time, notify our undercover agents in the Daxia Imperial Capital to support the young lady’s actions with all they have."

"Yes!"
