Chapter 53 Continuous Intimidation

  Three days later, the glutton forgot his unhappiness and returned to his usual self. The irresponsible owner started to get ideas again.

  "Gluttony, come here." He beckoned with his hand, and Gluttony trotted over, its tail wagging.

  "Master, you called me, is there something delicious?" Big eyes blinked blinking, looking at her expectantly.

  "It's delicious, but the owner doesn't have any, do you remember three days ago when the owner asked you to go find some?"

  Gluttony rolled his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, suddenly becoming furious. "They're so wicked, none of them will give Gluttony any food!"

  "So the master has specially picked out another place for you, and this time there will definitely be delicious food, I'm not cheating you."

  "Really?" The gluttonous raccoon wagged his tail excitedly, as if delicious food was right in front of him.

  "That's right! And this time, the master has also found you a powerful helper."

  "Is there a helper? Alright, alright, where is the helper, let's go quickly!"

  "Of course it's the demon child! With two great divine beasts making a move, they will definitely be able to defeat them and leave no remnants. What 'you' want will belong to you."

  Take the two small flowers off your ears, put one on each of Gluttony's ears, and the divine beast Xiao Meiniu makes a dazzling appearance. Gluttony feels the weight on his ears, moves uncomfortably for a bit, but gets used to it eventually, after all, he has worn them before. Zhan Lightcrazy fully equips him and gives him encouragement.

  "Glutton, you'd better work hard this time, the master is looking out for you!"

  "Mmm! Gluttony knows."

  "Glutton, you didn't succeed last time, so you found helpers. Then they will definitely find helpers too, right?" People's hearts are greedy, with the divine beast appearing in the imperial capital, she doesn't believe that the royal family and the four major aristocratic families, various forces will remain unmoved?

  "Don't worry, Gluttony has little brother."

  "The master told you, there are bad people who want to stop you and catch you. As long as they don't hurt your life, you can do whatever you want, got it?" Rubbing his little head, the gluttonous and clever one snuggled up close.

  "Young one, those who don't know better will be shocked by me. The lower-level ones can be absorbed at will, do you understand?"

  "The little monster understands." The masters all told her, she knows what to do.

  "Alright, go! Hurry up and come back quickly, the master has already made his mark." The two great divine beasts shook the scene, presumably those people wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.

  Then, Xiao Tianquan wore his strange armor and went to gather his younger brothers.

  At this time, the imperial capital was quiet to the point of being terrifying. Whether it was the royal family or the aristocratic families, all the elites were summoned back at the same time. Listening carefully, they all said the same thing.

  "Three days ago, a divine beast appeared in the Imperial Capital, wreaking havoc and oppressing the people. I have summoned you back to subdue this divine beast and restore peace to the people of the Imperial Capital. As brave warriors, will you once again create your own glory? Do you have confidence?"

  "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

  The superior's words of encouragement made these young people's blood boil, this is the era of achieving great things, a moment to create glory! No one delved deeper into the hidden ambitions and hypocrisy behind those righteous words. Even if someone knew, they were wise enough not to say more, after all, they needed such opportunities to make a name for themselves.

  At midnight, the imperial capital once again transmitted a warning sound, and some people's eyes flashed with excitement, it has come!

  A large group of demonic beasts charged forward with a loud roar, kicking up clouds of dust and yellow smoke that filled the air everywhere.

  Although the beasts didn't harm anyone last time, the people of the Imperial City were still on guard. After all, if these mindless creatures suddenly went berserk, the entire city would be doomed.

  Gluttony distinguishes good direction, commands little brother, and rushes over excitedly. What city walls, what streets, are not worth mentioning.

  All the way rushing to the destination, arrived at the destination, gluttony was a little puzzled, how did the smell and last time's similar?

  The General's Manor is now a dead heart, he must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to collide with this demon army again! What on earth is going on?! His general's mansion was devastated a few days ago, and he had no choice but to bring his entire family of over 100 people to live under the roof of his father-in-law. Now what is happening?!

  Looking at the person crying in front of him, Gluttony suddenly remembered that it was the bad guy who didn't give him anything last time. But what happened to the bad guy? Why is he crying so miserably?

  A group of people and a large group of demons stared at each other, the scene was very eerie.

  Roar!

  "Don't cry anymore."

  Hoo-hoo!

  "I won't hit you either, don't cry."

  Hoo hoo hoo~

  "I've taken what I wanted and left, you said you wouldn't hit me, why are you still crying?"

  The little monster is speechless, your language has a barrier, how can you communicate clearly?

  Just then, countless figures flew in from the horizon. Upon closer inspection, whoa! The masters of the four major families, as well as their family elites, the top imperial guards, and other families also sent people over.

  As soon as everyone arrived, they began to size up the divine beast in front of them. After staring for half a day, they still couldn't make sense of it.

  "Master Dongfang, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Can you tell us what kind of divine beast this is?" Someone humbly asked for guidance, wanting to know that the Dongfang family was founded on beast-taming, they couldn't see it, could the people of the Dongfang family not see it either?

  "This divine beast is pitch black all over, with countless sharp thorns on its head, fiery red eyes, and wings on its back. This... this... has never been seen before!" Dongfang Lin carefully thought about those magical beasts he had seen before, but there was nothing like this!

  "Master Dongfang, you wouldn't be unwilling to tell us, would you?" someone said with a sarcastic tone.

  "Hmph! I, the master of the illustrious House of Dongfang, will not be questioned by the likes of you. I say I haven't seen it, and that's that. If you don't believe me, with so many people present, who can enlighten me and broaden my knowledge? Seeing the silence on the scene, Dongfang Lin couldn't help but sneer, "No one can utter a single word, then all of you just shut up!"

  "Hey, Master Dongfang, don't be angry! Haha, it's been a long time!" Someone greeted him with a fist bump.

  "Master Ximen, it's been a long time." The visitor smiled brightly, but his eyes always seemed to flash with a hint of sharpness.

  "Alright, alright. Master Dongfang, you tell me, how do we subdue this divine beast?" After saying that, he hooked his shoulder around his, with a buddy-like demeanor.

  Dongfang Lin muttered a curse, Old fox, thinking of profiting without effort!

  "I really don't know! Maybe it's a new species, after all, in this vast world, there are still many things you and I don't know."

  Everyone present nodded in agreement after hearing this. Indeed, this world is full of unknowns and no one dares to say they know everything!

  The gourmet who had been waiting for a long time on the side couldn't help it anymore. How could these people talk for half a day and still not bring out the delicious food?

  Hoo-hoo!

  Everyone was shocked, secretly blaming themselves. With such a large group of demonic beasts lurking around, how could they still have the time to chat and gossip? It's absolutely unacceptable!

  "Give me the delicious ones, give them to me quickly, give them to me quickly......"

  Hoo-hoo!

  Look at that divine beast, it's facing General Yuan alone and roaring, and both times it came to find him trouble. Everyone thought, could there be something they don't know about? (Congratulations, the truth is out!)

  "Ah......ah......help me......"

  "General Yuan, is it possible that you have offended the divine beast somehow?"

  "Offend? Offend... who offended, no, no, none at all!"

  "But this divine beast has come twice, obviously it's coming for you!"

  "I don't know, I don't know..."

  Just as the two were asking and answering, the glutton didn't have much patience anymore, directing his younger brothers to go! The demons understood and actively went to find food for their boss, while the demon on his head was even more speechless.

  The monster moved, and everyone was on high alert. However, this monster did not wildly rush towards the crowd, causing chaos and destruction. Instead, it charged into the mansion, rummaging through everything. And so they were thrown into disarray in the wind.

  "This... General Yu, are you certain you haven't provoked them?" Everything before his eyes was clearly aimed at him!

  General Yuan shook his head like a rattle drum, at this moment he wanted to die, what kind of thing is this!

  "Reporting to the boss, none."

  "Reporting to the boss, nothing."

  "There is no..."

  Luckily, his face was covered with a thick layer of black hair, otherwise everyone would have seen that face turn darker and darker after hearing the report...

  "What's to eat? What's to eat? What's to eat?"

  Rooooaaaar! Rooooaaaar!

  Some people, seeing so many demons, lost control of their hearts. Seeing an opportunity that would not come again, they wanted to subdue one as their own contract beast. The demon that was originally chosen did not react at first, but unfortunately caught the attention of Taotie. Already enraged, he roared at the person, sending them flying five meters away and crashing into a wall, spitting blood and fainting. Only then did he glare at the surrounding crowd with an unfriendly expression.

  The divine beast made a move, and for a moment everyone looked at each other, each showing off their skills. The divine beasts didn't dare to think that they could just grab one casually!

  For a moment, the scene was somewhat out of control, with all kinds of spiritual powers bursting forth. The magic beast's footwork, mixed with the sound of weapons and the roar of the magic beast, tonight's Imperial City would not be peaceful.

  "This, Master Dongfang, you see..."

  "Alas, why so impulsive? We household heads and the imperial court's dignitaries should first think of a way to subdue the divine beast, best to minimize harm, or else the consequences are unimaginable!"

  Several people nodded at the same time and rushed towards the feast.

  What's going on? Didn't he just want something to eat? If you don't give it to him, then don't!

  Several people rushed towards him, but he dodged nimbly and slipped away, his dark shadow flowing between the crowd, and no one could catch him. A few people exchanged a glance, pulled out a large net, each grabbing an end, and swooped down on the beast's head. However, before it even reached his eyes, it was torn to shreds by his claws. Streaks of white light flashed in the direction of his claws, leaving three bloody gashes on each person's body. Beitang Shiye, the master of the Beitang family, stared at the divine beast in astonishment - this net had been carefully crafted, yet it was torn apart with such ease?

  The people in front of him were still entangled with him, and the little brothers he brought also struggled desperately. Suddenly enraged, he let out a loud roar, and his shrill cry shook the entire imperial capital, comparable to a 7-magnitude earthquake. The civilians hiding in their homes trembled with fear, praying for the demon beast to leave quickly. They were ordinary people who couldn't withstand these repeated frights.

  Just as the gluttonous beast let out a loud roar, the demon child on its head added fuel to the tense atmosphere. Not only did it help the beast with its divine pressure, but the two flowers suddenly became red and large, with hundreds of thousands of roots bursting forth in an instant, like a group of demons dancing wildly, scaring everyone so much that they trembled all over, dropping their weapons on the ground without even bothering to pick them up. Then, they were "grabbed" away, and the crowd erupted into waves of painful cries. Countless spiritual energies were absorbed by the demon child through the roots, swallowed down with a gurgling sound. Under the moonlight, the two large flowers looked eerily beautiful.

  The furious roar of the glutton did not stop, and several people closest to him were affected. Even if they hid in time, they were still injured, and they could even feel the sound of shattering coming from their spiritual foundation. At this moment, several people fell to the ground with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood, their faces pale as paper. What a fierce divine beast!

  The General Yuan, who was accompanying the feast with a second tune, was so frightened that he wet his pants and became somewhat hysterical, shouting "ah" non-stop.

  After roaring with laughter, looking at the crowd scattered on the ground who couldn't get up, his mood suddenly improved.

  It looks like it's almost done, the demon child carefully controlled its voice, and a hoarse, unpleasant sound came out, making these people even more frightened. It's a divine beast! It really is a divine beast! The divine beast has spoken! Good heavens!

  "I had no grudge against you, the bitter fruit of today is your own doing. If it weren't for your greed, there wouldn't be this outcome today. As for him, that's a matter between us. " The stern words were spoken, some people panicked, some dodged and evaded, but in the end, all eyes were on General Yuan, the divine beast was his fault. It can be said that when people are in a critical situation, they never think of how to unite and save themselves, but instead push their own mistakes onto others."

  Facing criticism from all sides, Yuan's old face turned red and white with anxiety, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know...I don't know..."

  "It was originally a grudge between you and me, but because of your actions, it has caused suffering to the people and losses to the imperial capital. As a proud divine beast, I wouldn't have bothered with you, but since you've done what you've done, I suppose you're clear about it in your own heart."

  Ambiguous words, the more meanings you hear from inside! The glutton nodded in praise, and the majestic divine beast didn't mind either. However, if a bad person hid the good food and didn't give it to him, that was his fault; the injured others thought that the divine beast said what General Yuang did to provoke it, could it be that he took the divine beast's treasure?

  But the truth is - what Yao'er said was entirely Warlight's words, and Warlight meant that you're old enough, but you didn't teach your daughter properly, letting her do whatever she wants, and even provoking her multiple times. As they say, "A father who fails to teach his child will suffer the consequences", so let this bitter fruit be tasted by him as a father!

  Everyone heard her words clearly, and Yao'er ordered the demons to retreat. These low-level demons didn't dare disobey! After all, there were two adults present!

  "As for you, no one is allowed to follow, otherwise..." This warning successfully dispelled the evil intentions of those scoundrels, who still wanted to live a few more years!

  The little monster felt that she had done a good job of completing the task given to her by her master, striking down the enemy, protecting the magical beast, absorbing spiritual energy, and even helping her master vent his anger. Such activities would be welcome again next time, and it wouldn't matter if they came more frequently.

  Gluttony is even more resentful, constantly muttering, I didn't eat anything, nothing at all...

  When all the monsters disappeared without a trace, the upper-class people were all supported to leave, their faces pale and saying goodbye. Today was really humiliating!

  General Yuan Wai, who was stunned on the spot, was quickly pulled up. He looked blankly at his two top-level bodyguards, who were holding him up. Who? Who wanted to see him?

  All the way being dragged, Yuan Mo was taken to meet the emperor like this. As soon as he entered the grand hall, he was hit on the head by an inkstone thrown by the emperor, and the ink mixed with blood flowed slowly down.

  "Look at the good deed you've done, what have you turned my imperial capital into? Do you know how much loss and casualties there are because of you? These losses haven't even been counted yet. Tell me, what do you want to do?" The emperor in dragon robe shouted loudly, all officials kept silent.

  "Your Majesty... I... I..." Yuan Ou was at a loss for words for a moment, saying he didn't know? Who would believe that!

  "What are you talking about, you? You're the one who provoked that divine beast for no reason. Now that you've gotten yourself into trouble, go deal with it yourself! Look at how you've turned my imperial capital upside down. I'm starting to think you're getting too old and your brain is going bad!" The emperor slammed his hand on the table, barely controlling himself.

  "Please calm down, Your Majesty!" The officials flattered with great presence of mind.

  "General Yu, I heard that the divine beast is causing you trouble. It's said that you took its treasure. If that's true, you should return it as soon as possible! Don't let the people of the imperial capital suffer from this unprovoked disaster! Otherwise, you will truly become a sinner for all eternity!" A pointed-faced minister said.

  "What treasure?! I've never had any grudges with the divine beast, I've never even seen it before! Your Majesty, you have to believe me, you must believe me!" Yuan Mo explained desperately, but even if he was telling the truth, no one would believe him.

  "We don't care if you have any excuses! You, Yuan Ou, have caused the people of the imperial capital to suffer and lose their homes due to your personal vendetta. The losses are severe, and you cannot escape responsibility for the deaths of thousands. Considering your many years of military service and achievements in battle, we will spare your life but not your punishment. Today, we demote you to guard the border in a remote and harsh region in the northwest. Reflect on your mistakes, and depart tomorrow.

  This Yuan Ou is getting more useless with age. He relies on his past military achievements to show off and has become increasingly timid like a mouse. His former heroic spirit is nowhere to be seen, and the emperor has been displeased with him for some time."

  "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I... you cannot..."

  "Take him away, it's annoying to look at him." With a wave of his hand, the emperor clearly didn't want to see him again.

  The outcome of the General Yu's mansion is not within Zhan Leixing's consideration, and it won't be too good either. After all, there were many people on the scene, and he said that he didn't take the divine beast's things, but how many can be believed?

  Tanuki and You'er played for a whole night, finally returning to Zhan Qing's side.

  "Master, I've listened to you and completed the task!" The two little flowers said with a nod.

  "Awesome!"

  "Hmm!"

  "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy? Let me take a look, are you hurt anywhere?" She heard that angry roar and it was impossible to say that she wasn't anxious.

  The master's arms were warm, but the glutton still hummed a proud tune.

  After checking carefully, apart from her fur being a bit disheveled, she wasn't injured, so she was relieved.

  "Alright, let's talk to the master, what's wrong with this glutton?"

  "The master is so biased, the demon child eats till it's full, but I have nothing to eat, and they still want to hit me, how pitiful..."

  "Alright, alright, Master will go and make some food for you, how about we go out to have a barbecue? Whatever you want to eat, we'll grill that much." Rubbing his little chin, Zhan Liang hurriedly tried to appease him. Sure enough, before long, the sound of rumbling came from outside.

  With her two beloved divine beasts, Zhan Light Crazy and they went to have a barbecue. But little did they know, the next day the imperial capital would be swept by a storm of blood and rain.

  The next day, Jing Wuyan dragged her out early in the morning without saying a word. Zhan Qing was helpless - why were all her friends so impatient?

  She found a secluded spot, and Mirror, the mischievous spirit, said to her: "Light Cruelty, do you know? This morning, Flower Butterfly dropped out of school. I heard that last night's commotion was caused by her father, tsk tsk... Her father was demoted and their whole family had to move away. Just thinking about not having her annoying presence in the academy from now on makes me feel so relieved!"

  "Oh, is it? What a pity, I would have learned from you if I had known earlier."

  "Right! Think about it, in the future she'll have no family background, no looks, tsk tsk, so pitiful! So I say, it's not that there won't be retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!" Seeing her acting like a fool, with a hint of a smile, he didn't tell her that all of this was caused by herself. The gluttonous nature of a foodie, human greed, coveting the divine beast, the suspicions of those in power, the dignity of the empire, so the outcome for the Yuans wasn't unexpected at all.
