Chapter 197: Chapter 94: Fight with Bull [Seeking monthly ticket!]_1

"What’s going on?"

Seeing Lin Bei’s panicked state, Chu Liang hastily stood up to inquire.

He had arrived on the Golden Fur Beast, and after dismounting, let it return on its own.

The beast was his personal second-hand fighter—with the first naturally being his master, and he could not afford any accidents befalling it.

"It’s right outside the Tontian Peak. You should go and check it out." Lin Bei guided.

He had also come to Tontian Peak on an errand. Seeing the Golden Fur Beast fighting someone outside, he guessed that Chu Liang must be around, and quickly inquired and found him.

Following him, Chu Liang flew out to see a crowd gathered on the outer edge of the square, engrossed in the spectacle. The furious growls of the beast and booming sounds of hits were unceasing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From afar, a man in white was suspended mid-air, stepping on a white cloud, continuously wielding a long whip. The whip force was like a white dragon, lashing downwards. Each hit resulted in a loud explosion.

The Golden Fur Beast was suppressed on the ground, and every attempt it made to pounce was rejected, which made it roar in rage and howl loudly.

One could see its golden fur ripped apart and crimson blood splattering, indicating it was severely wounded. It had never been injured while accompanying Chu Liang on various adventures.

Behind the man in white on the cloud stood a five or six-year-old child with bright eyes, pointing at the Golden Fur Beast and shouting, "Beat it to death! Beat it to death!"

Chu Liang vaguely recognized the child. It seemed to be the great-grandson of Pill Furnace Elder, who had exceptional talent for cultivation from a young age. He stepped onto the path of cultivation and entered the First Realm of Body Refinement before he even turned six, causing a sensation in Shu Mountain recently.

As for the man in white, he looked to be in his thirties or forties, with cultivation probably at the Fifth or Sixth Realm. He was obviously not from the same generation of disciples as Chu Liang.

Chu Liang swiftly flew forward, stood in the middle, and shouted, "Stop!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Golden Fur Beast wanted to rush forward again, but Chu Liang grabbed its head and ordered, "Do not move."

The man in white’s whip was still moving and almost hit Chu Liang. However, Chu Liang stood his ground, staring at him intently.

Whoosh!

The whip force continued to surge until it reached Chu Liang’s hair, at which point it suddenly came to a halt.

"Senior Brother, what wrongs has my Spirit Beast committed to warrant such harsh punishment from you?" Asked Chu Liang, once the man in white stopped his attack.

"Hmph." The man in white huffed from his lofty position in mid-air, "This beast almost injured the great-grandson of Pill Furnace Elder. Not only are you punishing it, but you would also dare to cause trouble here. Beating it is letting it off lightly. If it actually injured the child, I would have killed it on the spot!"

"Hmph!" The child behind him mimicked haughtily.

"Roar!"

The Golden Fur Beast behind them let out a low growl as if filled with raging anger while its drops of blood pattered on the ground, making Chu Liang ache inside.

At this point, Lin Bei stepped forward and said, "That’s not what happened at all! I saw this kid throwing stones at the Golden Fur Beast. The beast only landed and roared at him twice, then you came out and started fighting! You’re clearly bullying because you can!"

"It’s just a beast. If it gets hit by a stone, it’s no big deal," The man in white said, looking down. "If you continue to let it roar in Shu Mountain, I’ll report this to the elders, and you all will be punished!"

"Roar!" The Golden Fur Beast scraped the ground with its claws, seemingly ready to once again soar into the sky and tear that man in white apart.

"Stop moving!" Chu Liang’s shouted again.

No matter what the justification, thankfully the Golden Fur Beast didn’t hurt anyone. If it just got a beating, then the matter wasn’t too serious. However, if it had injured a human, Shu Mountain wouldn’t allow it to stay.

Not just Shu Mountain, laws everywhere are such. Compared to humans, the laws on beasts are much more severe. If a human hurts a demon beast, there wouldn’t be much consequence. But if a demon beast hurts a human, its existence won’t be tolerated.

Even if you would be the one in the right.

Chu Liang spoke up, "Senior Brother, since the child wasn’t injured, and my spirit beast has been punished, he certainly wouldn’t dare harm anyone in Shu Mountain anymore. Can we just let this matter be for now?"

"Go back and teach it properly. You youngsters shouldn’t think having a mount makes you special. If anything happens, it’s not something you can handle!" The man in white coldly tossed the words.

Only then did he turn around and descend from the clouds, shielding the child as they left. Before leaving, the child stuck his tongue out at Chu Liang and made a big face at him.

After they had walked away, Lin Bei fumed, "That unruly brat needs to be disciplined! If he weren’t accompanied by an adult, I swear I would have given him a hard slap or two!"

"Let’s go back first," Chu Liang said, his face stern.

He reached out to pat the Golden Fur Beast’s neck. The large creature nuzzled against him, whining and seeming quite aggrieved.

...

First, Chu Liang asked Lin Bei to get Senior Sister Chen Su; only then did he return to Silver Sword Peak.

After the incident with the Winged Fire Snake Demon, the Shu Mountain Upper Echelon was very concerned about what had happened in Evil Charm Mountain. A Fifth Realm Winged Fire Snake was a minor matter, but if the multitude of ferocious beasts living inside Evil Charm Mountain were to all escape, that would be a major catastrophe.

Therefore, they dispatched three Seventh Realm Peak Masters to investigate. Empress Feng, having just dealt with the matter at Wood Demon Mountain, was sent there as well.

The Silver Sword Peak was yet again under Chu Liang’s charge.

If his master were here, he’d undoubtedly bring the large creature along to play the victim card, weeping and wailing, then trailing behind Empress Feng to seek redress... no, to seek an explanation.

Unfortunately, his master was not present and he had to start by treating the Golden Fur Beast’s wounds.

There were no specialized doctors on Shu Mountain, medicinal matters were usually handled by the people from the Pill Furnace Hall. The person Chu Liang had just had a dispute with was probably from the Pill Furnace Hall, so he didn’t go there directly, but instead asked for the familiar Senior Sister Chen Su’s help.

The Golden Fur Beast was whimpering on the ground, its flesh laid bare from its wounds, seeming to be in pain. In order to comfort it, Chu Liang stuffed two berries in its mouth.

"Roar?"

Seeing this, the Golden Fur Beast immediately went limp on the ground, wailing incessantly, barely hanging onto life.

Chu Liang watched, both amused and irritated. Seeing that it was injured, he decided to indulge it, continuously feeding it Gold Pattern Berries. One by one, the beast munched on them happily, soon forgetting the pain from its injuries. Its eyes were filled with bliss.

If it could lie there every day while someone fed it berries, it probably wouldn’t mind getting beaten up daily.

After a while, Senior Sister Chen Su finally arrived.

"Let me see..." She carefully examined the Golden Fur Beast, then said, "These are all superficial wounds. Some medicine and rest will heal them completely, don’t worry."

Only then did Chu Liang relax.

Chen Su applied medicine and bandaged the Golden Fur Beast’s wounds. Even though it must have hurt, the beast only shivered slightly and didn’t resist.

"This big guy is pretty obedient, I don’t know how Senior Brother Liu had the heart to lay such a heavy hand on it." Seeing the Golden Fur Beast’s naive and pliable expression, Chen Su couldn’t help but feel indignant on its behalf.

"Who hit the Golden Fur Beast?" Chu Liang asked casually.

"Senior Brother Liu Qin, he is the seventh direct disciple of Pill Furnace Elder," Chen Su replied, "Pill Furnace Elder only has one great-grandson—Little Tong. He’s very fond of him, but doesn’t have time to watch him all day, often leaving that duty to his disciples."

"This little kid is rather naughty," Chu Liang commented calmly.

"Sigh." Chen Su sighed, "Little Tong is orphaned and naturally intelligent. He’s been doted upon by his elders since he was a child, which has made him a bit unruly."

Chu Liang understood the situation after hearing her succinct explanation.

The little boy must have been mischievous and hurt the Golden Fur Beast, whose temper is known to be bad. It wanted to retaliate, but being sentient enough, it wouldn’t genuinely harm the boy up in Shu Mountain.

Liu Qin, fearing being blamed for negligence, must have decided to punish the Golden Fur Beast severely to make a point.

"All done." Chen Su clapped her hands, finishing up the bandaging.

The Golden Fur Beast lay there swathed in several bandages with pretty butterfly knots, appearing far more refined than before.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Chen," Chu Liang said.

"No need to thank me," Chen Su laughed. After a thought, she reminded him, "I know you are heartbroken that the Golden Fur Beast was beaten, but Little Tong is Pill Furnace Elder’s favorite and Liu Qin was acting in the child’s protection. If you decide to pursue this matter, you might anger the Pill Furnace Elder, making your life difficult in Shu Mountain. Perhaps you should..."

She was stating the truth. Offending the Pill Furnace Elder, who held a high position, would make life hard in Shu Mountain.

"Don’t worry, Senior Sister Chen," Chu Liang said with a smile, "Please return to the Pill Furnace Hall and convey a message for me. Just say that I am deeply regretful for my pet’s disturbance today and I will surely make a formal apology in person soon."
