Chapter 125: Chapter 23: Golden Fur Beast? 【New Book Seeks Monthly Ticket!】_1

"Choose this one?" Xu Hongqiu asked.

Immediately, the staff behind her in the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall suddenly showed a hint of joy.

"Damn." Chu Liang muttered. These people were so happy, could it be that they had chosen the wrong one?

"Then, please take this beast away with you," Xu Hongqiu gestured lightly, and a subordinate stepped forward to open the cage.

"Beast?" Empress Feng and her student Chu Liang both exclaimed in surprise.

Speaking of demons and monsters.

Among the four, it is difficult to distinguish between untransformed demon beasts and spirit beasts. But generally speaking, the value of spirit beasts is far higher than that of demon beasts.

Since humans are considered the most intelligent creatures, many demon beasts who have made progress in their cultivation choose to transform into human form in order to better understand the laws of heaven and earth and improve their cultivation. This is also in part to blend in easier among humans.

If there is a high realm demon that has not transformed, apart from a few who do not wish to transform, most of them are naturally rather dull. For example, Yellow Fox and White Willow can usually transform in the second or third stages, but other spirits like those of grass, wood and rocks take until the fifth or sixth stage to transform.

However, it’s different for spirit beasts.

The reason why spirit beasts always maintain their original bodies is that they themselves are chosen by heaven, and their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth is not inferior to human bodies, thus, they naturally have no need to transform.

Therefore, a group of demon beasts mixed together in the same realm, spirit beasts are considered much stronger than demon beasts.

The beast, belongs to one of the major tribes among spirit beasts.

Among these four, the giant turtle and strange tree are obviously demons, the identity of the white cat is hard to figure out, and this one with the big head might possibly be the only spirit beast. Choosing it can be considered a success for the master and disciple.

Of course, saying it belongs to a major tribe is relative to other spirit beasts, for instance, only two of the Baize tribe are known to exist in the world. Moreover, many spirit beasts are the only ones of their kind. The beast belongs to a relatively more abundant species, with both good and evil members.

Outside the Imperial Palace in Yu Capital City, two Celestial Dragons are stationed. These righteous beasts are the most competent gatekeepers. The guardian divine beast of the Underworld King Sect is a Lunar Eclipse beast, which hides during the day and comes out at night, fond of darkness, and hates all light.

The one in front of them, is known as the Golden Fur Beast.

"This Golden Fur Beast can be considered as the treasure of my Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, and has been our main attraction for ten years," the salesman of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall introduced with some excitement, "Its temperament is gentle and likeable, diligent and laborious, and it is brave and good at fighting. It is a must-have for home guarding and traveling..."

Clang...

Clang...

Before he could finish his sentence, a harsh sound of metal grinding came from the side. Empress Feng looked over with confusion, "What is that noise?"

Looking over, it was the Golden Fur Beast gnawing at the iron cage with its terrifying fangs! Moreover, it had already bitten a few cracks, as if it was about to shatter the cage at any moment!

"Well..." The salesman continued, "Its only flaw may be that it eats a bit too much. In the past, if it was hungry, it would eat the iron cage... but after getting used to it, it also likes to chew a bit to grind its teeth even if it’s not hungry..."

"Aren’t these cages costly? How often do you need to replace them?" Chu Liang couldn’t help but ask.

"The beast cage forged from Moyun Iron from deep sea, initially had to be replaced every three days. Later, we developed a new method, which only requires the cage pillars to be reinforced, reducing the cost significantly," the salesman answered truthfully.

"Well, it grew up eating iron cages." Chu Liang exclaimed, then turned to his master, "Can we afford to keep this thing?"

"What can’t we afford?" Empress Feng sneered, "If it dares to show any aggression, just kill it and eat its meat."

Seemingly sensing a hint of threat in her eyes, the Golden Fur Beast shivered, its entire body’s golden fur suddenly rising like golden spears, as it bowed its head, showing its teeth, staring at Empress Feng, letting out a low "howl—"

As if without the iron cage blocking it, it would immediately step forward to challenge...

Chu Liang glanced at the salesman and asked doubtfully, "Gentle and likeable?"

"Er..." The servant wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "It is just unfamiliar with you, which may not be a bad thing. As a mount, it’s always ready to serve!"

As they spoke, a servant had already opened the beast cage, they had led the Golden Fur Beast out. First they put a huge sealing collar around its neck, then tied it with a heavy iron chain, and passed one end of the chain over.

Normally, this whole process would absolutely require strict control and the beast would need to be hypnotized using Formation magic before they dared to attempt it. However, now that Elder Cang Xing of the Sixth Realm and Empress Feng of the Seventh Realm were present, they had no fear.

"When taking it on the street, you must hold the chain, remember..." The attendant instructed seriously.

"I understand." Chu Liang nodded, "Walking a beast without tying it up might as well be the beast walking you."

Nevertheless, he dared not even touch the iron chain, and directly handed it over to Empress Feng. The Master herself was undeterred, she walked up close, looked up at this monstrous beast towering over her, stretched out her hand, and commanded, "Sit!"

"Roar—" The Golden Fur Beast crouched down, ready for combat.

"Forget it, we’ll bond when we get home." Empress Feng seemed quite interested, so she turned around, ready to lead the Golden Fur Beast away.

Xu Hongqiu hurriedly said goodbye with everyone, preparing to send Chu Liang and the two beasts out.

Just as they were about to walk out, Empress Feng suddenly turned around and looked at Elder Cang Xing behind Xu Hongqiu, and in a reminiscent tone, she asked, "You look familiar, have we met before?"

"Yes, yes." The experienced and prudent Elder Cang Xing, who had been speaking very little to the formidable Xu Nanling, upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly, revealing a friendly smile, "I’m glad you still remembered."

"Among the four disciples of the Whale Guild you eliminated with a single punch in the virtual god realm during the Immortal Sect conference over a decade ago, I was one." There was a hint of complex emotion in his voice.

One could not tell whether it was emotion or fear.

Chu Liang wasn’t too surprised by this revelation. Even though Elder Cang Xing and Empress Feng looked like they could be grandfather and daughter, or father and daughter, Empress Feng was actually about the same age as him.

The higher the Cultivation of practitioners from the first to the sixth realm, the slower they age. But they can never stay young forever. Only when one reaches the Seventh Realm, Wen Dao, can they remain youthful forever.

Generally speaking, if the power of the Seventh Realm hasn’t used a special Divine Skill to change, then their current appearance is the appearance they had when they entered the Wen Dao Realm. There aren’t many as young as Empress Feng because she entered the Seventh Realm at a very young age.

Every step of her cultivation was absolutely heaven-defying, one could only envy her.

Hearing this, Empress Feng showed a look of sudden realization, then she turned around and walked away with Chu Liang. They could hear her patting her chest and proudly saying, "I told you, we’re buddies!"

"Ah, yes, yes." Chu Liang’s flattering laughter followed suit.

Xu Hongqiu watched their retreating figures disappear into the street from where she stood... She couldn’t help but wear a relieved smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Xu Nanling, who was barely holding onto his life, felt the same way, and even managed to shed two lines of tears. Now that these two had left, his life was spared.

...

"Master, I’ll go take care of my business first." Turning the street corner, Chu Liang said bye to Empress Feng.

On the long street, wherever this master and disciple pair went, pedestrians would avoid them as though cleaning the street. Although there were quite a few routes in Taotie City where mounts and demon beasts were taken, this one was obviously different!

It’s still gnawing at the iron chain.

Can this thing really restrain it?

The woman seems quite pleased, but judging from the expression of that giant beast, wouldn’t it eat her as soon as it broke free?

Better stay clear...

"Okay!" Empress Feng was enjoying the awe-inspiring presence on the street with the beast, and casually waved to Chu Liang, "you go ahead, but you can’t let that guy get away so easily."

"Don’t worry." Chu Liang patted the thick account book in his bosom, "He dared to hit the disciple of my master, there’s no way he’s getting away."
