Chapter 649: Chapter 12: Raging Dragon Colt [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

Fengya Pass.

This place was a cliff, below which was a vast Savage Abyss, home to countless strange creatures. During the human clan’s struggle against the Demon God, a city wall was built here.

It was later abandoned, leaving only some of the original defenders here.

The origin of this city wall is not much different from Taotie City.

Because these city walls were all located at a geographical hub, it was very convenient for commercial developments. Over time, a market formed below Fengya Pass.

However, this market was not limited to cultivators, but the citizens of about ten small western countries frequently came here for trading and exchange.

Today was the opening day of the market.

A middle-aged man in navy blue robes strutted down the market street, followed by four or five servant-like men. The vendors on both sides greeted him as he passed, "Steward Wang, you’re here."

"Steward Wang, what can I get you?"

"..."

He had high expectations and didn’t respond one by one, just proceeded to the edge of the street where many people were gathering.

Many people who had no jobs and came here to seek work were squatting at the edge of the street. Upon seeing him, they immediately stood up, evidently recognizing this steward.

Among the crowd was a handsome young man who was still squatting there in a daze. An old man next to him immediately pulled him up and said: "Young man, are you new here? This is the steward of the Lei family, if he recruits you, it will definitely be a long-term job, with much better treatment than other families, you are young and promising, don’t fall behind."

"Thank you, old man." The young man thanked him and quickly stood up.

Although he was handsome, his clothes were tattered and torn, making him one of the worst-dressed among these people. There were also several smudges of black soot on his face, giving him a desolate and pitiful look.

"Ahem." Steward Wang arrived in front of everyone, cleared his throat, then said: "Today, my Lei family is recruiting, and we need someone who is not afraid of death."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. Most of the eager people suddenly squatted down again, leaving only four or five standing.

The old man squatted down, and when he saw the young man still standing, he hurriedly said: "What are you doing? Don’t want to live?"

"Didn’t you say the Lei family offers good conditions for workers?" the young man asked, puzzled.

"That’s on normal days." The old man hurriedly explained: "The Lei family made its fortune by raising demon beasts and monsters. They recruit people to take care of these creatures. If they say ’someone who is not afraid of death’, it means they want someone to serve those fierce beasts which are very difficult to handle. The slightest carelessness could result in loss of life, with no trace of the body left!"

"Is that so?" The young man nodded but showed no intention of squatting down.

"Alas..." The old man saw that he seemed to be a little slow-witted and wanted to say more to dissuade him.

But Steward Wang had already pointed out a few people standing in the crowd, "You, come forward."

The young man was not a fool but Chu Liang who had travelled a long distance to get here. He was initially planning to infiltrate the Lei family, so he would not miss this opportunity and quickly stepped forward along with several others people.

"Our family is only hiring one person this time, the treatment is very high, but you must not be afraid of death." Steward Wang said: "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are in heaven, I hope you are all prepared. Since so many of you want to come, then I naturally need the one who is least afraid of death."

"I’m the least afraid of death!" "I’m the least afraid of death!"...

The men who had stepped forward were all fearless and immediately jumped in to prove themselves.

"Then you guys prove it." Steward Wang said. "I’ll just pick the one who is least afraid of death."

"Let me!" A strong man suddenly jumped out, took out a sharp blade, and just as everyone had been startled, he picked up the knife and cut his wrist. Hiss- a jet of blood sprayed out like a fountain.

The stout man held up his arm, letting the spraying blood-rain fall on everyone, splashing them. Those it hit immediately dodged, but he was still very proud: "Who dares?!"

The onlookers exclaimed in astonishment.

This guy is ruthless.

But the second strong man sneered, took out a long rope, snapped it onto a tree nearby, wrapped it around, and then put his head through it.

He’s hanging himself!

With his tongue poking out due to the strangulation, he laughed painfully: "Who dares?!"

The surrounding people were all licking their lips.

This one is also ruthless.

"Ha-ha-ha! You guys are still afraid of death!" The third strong man laughed wildly three times, then suddenly stormed off towards the distance.

The crowd was bewildered, wondering what he was going to do.

Run away?

His laugh didn’t seem like he was afraid, did it?

While everyone was puzzled, the strong man kept running until he reached the edge of the cliff, and then he jumped off, leaving only a roar echoing in the wind.

"Who dares——"

"Hiss..." The onlookers invariably took a cold breath.

This one is even more ruthless.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the last person. Seeing his gentle appearance, they wondered if he would back out.

This young man was, of course, Chu Liang.

He showed no fear and stepped forward, walking to Steward Wang.

Just as Steward Wang was wondering what he was going to do, Chu Liang wound up his arm and slapped Steward Wang in the face.

Slap-

This crisp sound stunned Steward Wang, as well as the onlookers.

Doesn’t he want to live?

What’s he doing?

He wants to work for them but dares to offend Steward Wang.

Naturally, Steward Wang was furious: "How dare you hit me!"

At this moment, Chu Liang turned around and asked: "Who dares?"

"Huh——"

People now understood that he truly wasn’t afraid of death.

Several servants from the Lei Family were about to step forward to teach him a lesson, but Steward Wang stopped them with a raised hand: "Don’t move."

"Steward, he dared to hit you." Several subordinates said.

"He’s the one." Steward Wang pointed at Chu Liang, "You come with me."

"Huh?" The subordinates couldn’t quite understand, "Not only are we not teaching him a lesson, but we’re asking him to work?"

"Nonsense!" Steward Wang pointed at several others lying on the ground, "You see anyone else there who’s still breathing?"

...

The Lei Family originally lived in Wood Branch City on the border of the Yu Dynasty, a prominent family in the area that dealt in trading demon beasts through some inherited divine skills.

Sometime later, for unknown reasons, the whole family moved to reside at Fengya Pass. This place was near the Savage Abyss, making it convenient to acquire goods. Furthermore, it was free from the many regulations of the Yu Dynasty. As such, the family business flourished and gained quite a reputation in the Western Regions.

The sheer number of demon beasts and monsters they bred could not be solely taken care of by the family disciples, hence the employment of many human servants.

Steward Wang was a minor leader among the servants.

"Although you’re new here, the responsibilities on your shoulders are heavy." He spoke while walking ahead, "I’m entrusting you with the care of this monster, a Raging Dragon Colt beloved by the Fifth Young Master. This horse, though only a hundred years old and still a child among monsters, is incredibly violent. It could go berserk at the slightest provocation. So when you feed it, you must be very careful."

On both sides were many enclosures, each housing a demon beast, each with its own garden. Depending on the beast’s spirituality, the garden’s environment varied greatly. For instance, the Raging Dragon Colt, due to its dragon descendant bloodline, was highly valued by the Lei Family, hence had an entire garden to itself.

Looking from the outside, only green trees and yellow stones could be seen. The Raging Dragon Colt was nowhere in sight.

"There are restrictions and formations around the enclosure. You must stand outside to feed it." Steward Wang warned: "As for bathing it... you’ll need to pray for luck."

"Can this formation hold the Raging Dragon Colt back?" Chu Liang quickly glanced and then asked, pretending to be afraid.

"It can hold it, but not entirely." Steward Wang answered, giving him a sideways glance, "Otherwise, we wouldn’t have needed you."

I understand your meaning.

Chu Liang nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, I still don’t know your name?" Steward Wang asked just before leaving.

"My name is Chu Liuxiang." Chu Liang replied.

"Even a lowly servant has a fancier name than mine." Steward Wang gave him an unhappy look: "The young masters and ladies don’t have the time to remember your name. Once you arrive at our Lei Family, you need to change it to something simpler."

"Then, I’ll be called Wang Fugui." Chu Liang immediately responded.

"That’s my name!" Steward Wang raised an eyebrow.

"Then I’ll be Liu Bo." Chu Liang suggested again.

"Good, you’ve changed it thoroughly. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone change their surname so casually." Steward Wang finally nodded with satisfaction.

After explaining more details to note, he said: "The Fifth Young Master will come to see the Raging Dragon Colt later. You need to find it quickly. If it’s dirty from playing, you need to clean it up. I’m going to wait for the Young Master now."

With that, he strutted off.

Only Chu Liang and several other servants responsible for serving the monsters were left. However, the others all looked at Chu Liang with a hint of sympathy.

Chu Liang initially wanted to chat with his colleagues, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone scattered as quickly as possible, as if they would be jinxed if they talked more with him.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Chu Liang shook his head and laughed.

Fortunately, it was not only humans here. Compared to the servants, he might gather more information by conversing with the demon beasts and monsters.

So he slowly walked to the edge of the enclosure, completely disregarding Steward Wang’s warning. He directly unlocked the small gate and entered the garden.

Upon entering, he immediately felt a wave of burning hot and vicious air permeating the air.

It seemed that this Raging Dragon Colt was not easy to deal with.

Before he could even spread out his divine sense to search, he suddenly heard a neighing sound, and a bundle of blazing fire bolted out from behind a rockery!

It turned out to be an ambush.

The sound of wind swiftly approached, but Chu Liang stood unafraid, he merely released a trace of the Dragon God Token’s aura.

Bam!

The fiery beast that charged over suddenly fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. After the dust had settled, the true form of this fierce beast was revealed.

Indeed, it was an eight-feet-tall red-maned fiery horse, with half of its body covered with manes and the other with scale armor, a single horn on its forehead, and one of its eyes had golden flaming pupils. Although the dragon bloodline was not very strong, its other bloodline was from the ancient exotic fire horse breed, which was extremely aggressive and warlike, resulting in its current violent appearance.

Unfortunately for it, as long as it possessed a trace of the dragon bloodline, it couldn’t act ferociously in front of Chu Liang’s Dragon God Token.

"You really are dirty." Chu Liang frowned, whispering, "Go and wash."

This extremely violent, murderous Dragonkin beast immediately ran to a pond under a rockery at his light command, and began to roll about.

It wasn’t until Chu Liang felt it was enough, that the beast trotted over obediently, lowered its head modestly on the ground, seemingly inviting Chu Liang to mount it.

Chu Liang nonchalantly sat on its back, saying, "I just came here for a few days because I have business here. It seems like you’re also used to freedom. If you cooperate with me these few days, when I leave, I can take you with me."

"Neigh——" The Raging Dragon Colt immediately perked up happily.

Just as Chu Liang was about to ask it a couple more questions, he suddenly heard footsteps and conversations from abroad.

"Why did the Fifth Young Master come so early?" It was the sycophantic voice of Steward Wang, "You’ve seen how the Raging Dragon Colt behaves. It’s really violent, and we haven’t tamed it yet. Yesterday, it killed a servant, and we just got a new one, he may not have..."

His words abruptly stopped.

Because when he led a group of people to the edge of the enclosure, he saw the notoriously violent Raging Dragon Colt lying obediently on the ground, with the new servant boy riding on its neck.

It was even wagging its tail.

The eyes it opened wide were full of fawning... almost more than he himself could manage.

"Ah? How did you manage that?" Steward Wang asked in surprise.

Among the people standing behind him, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old stout young man in splendid sword attire saw this scene and said immediately: "This Raging Dragon Colt seems very obedient. Why did you say it’s prone to violent outbursts? Is it because you didn’t feed it well before?"

"Yes, yes." Chu Liang inside kept nodding, "This little guy is very obedient."
