Chapter 653: Chapter 16 Ah - [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Haha." Excited by this new racetrack, Lei Hou said, "I’ll have a go first to show little sister and little brother how it’s done."

With that, he merrily mounted his horse.

Remembering the Raging Dragon Colt, Steward Wang felt somewhat timid and quickly reminded Lei Hou, "Young Master, be careful."

"Buzz off."

"Alright."

With one swift motion, the fiery Raging Dragon Colt zoomed past, transforming into a blazing spectacle of light.

"Wow." The young lady and young master watched in awe.

Even though Chu Liang’s racetrack was long, it was just a short sprint for the Raging Dragon Colt. As it seemed to approach the end of the race smoothly, the Dragon Colt suddenly decided to have some fun.

It deviated from the track, heading straight into a nearby waterfall instead. Lei Hou was drenched to the bone, and this waterfall drawn from a nearby pond was somewhat dirty.

After emerging from the waterfall, the Colt trotted out, carrying a rather dishevelled Lei Hou on his back.

"Hahaha, what a playful Raging Dragon Colt." He wasn’t upset but found it amusing instead.

He could dry the water off his body with his True Qi, but he couldn’t clean himself of the dirt he was covered in.

"Oh dear." Chu Liang rushed forward, "My apologies for dirtying your clothes, Young Master. We have a hot spring bathhouse over there. Let me take you there so you can bathe and change."

Following his instruction, he looked towards a large wooden hut in the deep garden, from which smoke was billowing. It appeared to be a hot spring.

"Hey!" Steward Wang couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

You can be outrageous, but there’s a limit.

Compared to the previous arrangements, a hot spring bathhouse was even more absurd. Where did they even dig up a hot spring? It’s not like you can find one just anywhere.

"Yesterday while you were recovering..." Chu Liang replied with a smile.

"So this is a... minor arrangement?" Steward Wang’s nostrils flared.

If this is his idea of minor, he can’t imagine what the guy might consider major. Additionally, building all these things without any budget report kept him completely out of the loop. Is this boy spending his own money?

However, seeing the young masters and misses enjoying themselves, he found it difficult to complain.

So Chu Liang accompanied Lei Hou to the bath and change. Although he did not accompany him into the bathhouse, there were hidden gaps in the wooden hut, and his Divine Sense was able to see cleanly inside.

Lei Hou’s back was smooth as a mirror.

He’s not the one.

Chu Liang was somewhat disappointed.

Upon his return, Lei Hou beckoned, "Little brother, you should try it too."

"Okay." Lei Pi nodded and carefully climbed onto the Raging Dragon Colt, tightly gripping the reins.

A flash of light rapidly soared into the sky, to the accompaniment of Lei Pi’s scream.

Lei Pi was not as daring as Lei Hou, as he clung to the horse’s back and dared not move. As the Raging Dragon Colt galloped all the way, nearing the end of the route, it passed by the waterfall again.

Splash—

This time, he was soaked even more thoroughly than Lei Hou. Just as he dismounted, Chu Liang rushed over to him, "The Raging Dragon Colt is so incorrigible. Let me take Young Master to bathe."

With that, he led Lei Pi away for a bath too.

His Divine Sense gently swept, realising that his back also didn’t have any emblem.

When they returned, only Lei Guan had not ridden the Colt yet.

Could it be her...

Before he could confirm, suddenly two young lads rushed over, calling out, "The Family Head asked the young masters and misses to gather in the front hall, we have a distinguished guest."

"Oh..." Lei Guan showed some reluctance, "I haven’t ridden yet."

"Miss Lei could always come back another time. The Raging Dragon Colt will always be here," Chu Liang stated appropriately.

"Alright." Feeling helpless, faced with the authority of her father, Lei Guan could only join her brothers in heading over.

In the front courtyard, parents and other brothers had already arrived. They were the last to arrive, quickly joining the rest at the end of the line.

Lei Ren glanced back and shot them a stern look. He didn’t scold them, after all, the procession of guests was already approaching.

Smoothly adjusting his robe, he laughed loudly, "Young Hero Du, it’s our honor to have you. Please forgive us for our delayed welcome!"

...

The attendees of the Lei Family lifted their eyes to see several cultivators escorting a tall, slender man into the hall. His dark skin was almost invisible in the shadow of the portico. His arms were incredibly long, extending beyond his knees, and he carried a large sickle on his back. He was truly a peculiar character.

If Chu Liang were here, he would have recognized at first glance that the newcomer was none other than Du Wuhen, the eldest of the three brothers from Thunder Fortress.

"Family Head Lei, you are too courteous," He returned the compliment with a slight smile and bowed hand.

Going by seniority in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lei Ren naturally outranks Du Wuhen; in terms of cultivation, Lei Ren has at least broken through the Seventh Realm, making him a great power.

No matter how you put it, Du Wuhen ought to address him as a senior.

But after all, he represents Thunder Fortress, and within the Beast Taming path, Thunder Fortress holds the top seat, despite being severely impacted by Heavenly King Sect a few years ago, they have only dropped slightly in status within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Facing these lesser aristocratic families, they still stand high above.

Moreover, the Lei Family earnings come from selling Demon Beasts and oddities; they often depend on Thunder Fortress.

Therefore, when Du Wuhen faces Lei Ren, his attitude is that of an equal.

Lei Ren didn’t mind. He just laughed and said, "Castellan Huang sent a letter saying that she wanted to come to my Fengya Pass to select Demon Beasts and oddities. Our Lei Family is greatly honored. However, the details in the letter were not specific, so I would ask Young Hero Du to clarify your requirements, so I may recommend for you. Our Lei family raises many Demon Beasts, there must be something suitable for you."

"It’s pretty straightforward," Du Wuhen said: "Normally, when Thunder Fortress needs beast tamers, we wouldn’t be buying them from all over. We’d catch them ourselves. But recently, our newly acquired disciples are still young. Our master wants to find some tamed beasts with high bloodline talents for them, but is also worried about them getting injured. Thus, we must have fully tamed ones, those that cannot hurt people. As for the price, we will definitely satisfy you."

When Lei Ren heard this, he understood.

Essentially, Thunder Fortress’ newly accepted disciples lack talent and do not have the ability to tame Demon Beasts on their own. They want to quickly enhance their combat power so they have to purchase tamed beasts from all over.

A generation like Du Wuhen’s, naturally gifted, had limitless potential and absolutely no such worries. Each of the beasts they tamed themselves was nearly a Divine Beast, immensely powerful.

But after the severe blow in the previous years, Thunder Fortress’ prestige plummeted. The number of cultivation seeds willing to join the sect also significantly reduced, the talent pool shrunk, thus increasing the issues faced.

This demonstrates the importance of a sect’s reputation.

Take for instance when the Shu Mountain Sect won the grand Immortal Sect meeting and following that, Red Cotton Peak rose to prominence. A period of talent explosion followed. Numerous cultivating seeds were brought over from the Four Seas and Nine Continents, wanting to join the Shu Mountain Sect.

He laughed and asked, "How many does Thunder Fortress need?"

"The more the better," Du Wuhen said. "At least ten."

"Ten?" Lei Ren furrowed his brows, "This quantity is not small. If you just need those of high realm, that would be easy, but you need those with strong bloodlines...they are not easy to come by."

Du Wuhen leaned in and said something else to him. Suddenly, Lei Ren broke into a smile, "Since Thunder Fortress is so sincere, naturally I won’t hold back. Let Young Hero Du see the beasts I’ve reserved for my own children. I’ll take you there right away!"

With that said, a large group of people headed towards the Beast Farm in the courtyard.

The stewards responsible followed suit, with Steward Wang among them. As they were on their way, whenever Du Wuhen expressed interest, the servants would promptly bring the Demon Beast out for him to assess.

As they got to the area of the farm holding the Raging Dragon Colts, Du Wuhen stopped again.

"Is Raging Dragon Colt being raised here?" His gaze was torch-like as he immediately recognized it from just the aura.

"Yes." Lei Ren said, "But this Raging Dragon Colt just recently arrived, we have not yet began..."

"Lord, this Raging Dragon Colt is already tamed," Steward Wang interjected, "The young master has been riding it frequently these past few days."

"Oh?" Lei Ren looked at him in surprise, then turned to look at Lei Hou.

"Indeed, this is the case." Lei Hou nodded.

However, he was not very enthusiastic about selling his Raging Dragon Colt, so he was not particularly excited.

"You guys have done very well," Lei Ren said, "What’s your name?"

"This subordinate’s name is Wang Fugui!" Steward Wang replied loudly, beaming with pride, as if taming the Raging Dragon Colt was his accomplishment.

Seeing his attitude, Lei Ren commanded, "Bring it out for me to see."

"Yes, sir." Wang Fugui responded, about to call for a servant to open the enclosure.

However, after looking around, the servant who usually worked there was nowhere to be found.

Where did that Liu Bo run off to?

With so many eyes on him from behind, as well as the important person from Thunder Fortress watching, Wang Fugui had to brace himself, open the enclosure, and step in.

Recalling how the Raging Dragon Colt had been playing with the young masters just a while ago, he thought it must be in a good mood, and he was somewhat relieved. He navigated through the deep jungle before he could locate the Demon Beast.

The Raging Dragon Colt was lying there, deep in sleep.

Steward Wang approached it, gently patting the Raging Dragon Colt’s head. One raging, golden eye, reflecting his shadow, opened halfway.

"Hehe," Wang Fugui gave a sycophantic laugh, "Wake up, the Family Head needs you."

Boom--

A thunderous roar echoed in the zoo, followed by a human figure soaring high into the air and being reduced to a speck of stardust.

A long scream trailed behind.

"Ah--"
