Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

As soon as Lear raised his hand, Aloy immediately noticed his movement.

‘That’s the posture for summoning a spirit beast! He’s realized that he can’t beat Shen Fei and wants to play dumb!’

Aloy’s face darkened, and her loathing for Lear increased.

“Ice Spirit, aim at his hand!”

The moment Aloy gave the order, Ice Spirit, who had been circling Aloy, instantly tensed up.

Its deep blue eyes stared at Lear’s movements, and it raised its neck, opened its mouth, and pounced forward fiercely!

The water particles in the air immediately condensed into a hard icicle, cutting through the air and directly shooting toward Lear!

“Ah!”

Lear could not dodge in time, and his right hand was pierced by the sharp icicle. A freezing, numbing sensation spread from Lear’s arm to his entire body.

“Shen Fei, you’re really despicable! To actually use such a disgusting method in battle!”

Looking at the icicle in his hand, for a moment, Lear’s expression became even more twisted. He trembled as he raised his hand. His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at the younger man.

‘Only Shen Fei could think of such a despicable method in a fight!’

Shen Fei helplessly shrugged his shoulders. This little trick was not his, so what did it have to do with him?

‘Let’s end this quickly!’ As he thought of this, Shen Fei’s expression changed and he clenched his fists.

Crack!!!

The ground trembled and cracked. A seedling of pure fire burst out of the ground. The Golden-winged Roc tilted its head. Before it could see what was going on, the flame seedling grew instantaneously!

The fiery brambles, covered in thorns and spitting out raging flames, ruthlessly wrapped around the bound Golden-winged Roc.

“Golden-winged Roc, hurry up and use your wind talons to cut off the thorns on your body!”

“Chirp!”

The Golden-winged Roc let out a loud cry, and a layer of dazzling white light covered the sharp blades on its talons. However, it did not have the time to swipe down.

In the surrounding land, more and more pure flame seedlings broke out of the ground!

Before Lear could react, countless infernal thorny brambles had wrapped around the Golden-winged Roc, forming a huge cocoon.

“CHIRP, CHIRP!!!”

The Golden-winged Roc struggled with great difficulty within the thorny cocoon. As the Golden-winged Roc struggled, the huge, boiling-hot thorny cocoon trembled.

‘Damn it!’ Lear gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists tightly.

The life force of the mutated beast he had tamed with great difficulty was continuously weakening! If this continued, all his previous efforts would be in vain!

“Shen Fei, stop.”

Lear suppressed his disgust towards Shen Fei and walked forward. The way he looked at Shen Fei instantly became much gentler.

“I’m willing to use money and resources to exchange for the life of my beast! Whatever you want, I have a way to get it for you, as long as you can make your Flame Owl stop. How about that?”

Lear stretched his hand forward and forced a smile at Shen Fei.

If it were not for his spirit beast, he would never bow and bend his knees in front of Shen Fei!

“Cultivation resources?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei’s face instantly revealed a smile, and the Flame Owl’s attack also seemed to have lessened significantly.

‘This a*shole’s trying to get off easy.’ Shen Fei’s face was smiling, but in his heart, he was silently pointing a middle finger at Lear. ‘Who was the one who was chasing my Flame Owl and wanted to kill it!?’

At seeing that thing were not going well, Lear changed his fine immediately when it was he who wanted to kill Shen Fei’s spirit beast. When he failed to kill the Flame Owl, and his own spirit beast was about to get killed instead, he began to beg for mercy.

‘As if everything could be settled so easily in this world.’

“Whatever I want?” Shen Fei smiled coyly with his hand jammed inside his pocket.

“Yes, that’s right!” Lear nodded quickly.

He would make a false promise to Shen Fei first. When the time came, if Shen Fei came and asked him for…

In any case, his beast would have already recovered by then. If Shen Fei dared to come and find him, he would thrash Shen Fei!

“Then, how many cultivation resources do you think it would take to exchange for the life of your spirit beast?”

“Uh…” Lear was stunned.

Looking at Shen Fei’s reaction, Lear knew that Shen Fei was going to make an unreasonable demand!

Shen Fei picked his ear out of boredom. “You’d better hurry up. If you dilly-dally, the roasting will start right away.”

At this point, the Flame Owl shook its wings, and the cocoon binding the Golden-winged Roc became even tighter.

“Don’t do it!” Lear gritted his teeth.

‘Shen Fei’s a penniless b*stard. It’s enough to just promise him something insignificant!’

“I’ll give you eight baskets of elementary-grade spirit fruits, and about 300,000 Yuan in cultivation funds! What do you think? It’s already a generous amount!”

Shen Fei indifferently glanced at Lear and sneered.

“You have the nerve to offer something so cheap?”

This amount was not even a fraction of the dowry Aloy had given him.

“I say, you’re someone from the mayor’s household. No matter what, you should have some power of your own. I didn’t expect you to be so stingy in this aspect.”

Shen Fei regretfully shook his head. The cocoon around the Golden-winged Roc’s body became tighter and tighter.

‘Shen Fei, this pauper, has so many demands!’ Lear gritted his teeth in anger, but his face was still smiling.

“Then I’ll add a little more for you. How about a stone that can increase a fire-attribute Beastmaster’s strength? These things are very precious. You won’t be able to find it anywhere else, even if you searched high and low.”

Shen Fei immediately fell into a brief silence. ‘Who is he trying to fool?’

In the mayor’s treasure vault, these amplification stones could be found almost everywhere. It seemed that Lear was earnestly trying not to barter for his spirit beast’s life…

“With this, it’s really not bad. How about we make a deal?”

Shen Fei lightly shook his head. “Say, do you really think I need this kind of thing?” After saying this, Shen Fei was too lazy to keep up the act. He raised his head and looked at Lear with disdain.

Lear frowned, but a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. “What do you mean by that?”

“I already have all the cultivation resources you just mentioned.” Shen Fei pretended to be distressed and rubbed his forehead. “And if I remember correctly, I gave you a high-grade fire-attribute spirit fruit at your birthday party some time ago.

“Do you have a goldfish’s memory? How could you think of using the lowest-grade spirit fruit to swindle me?”

As he said this, Shen Fei’s eyes turned sharp.

“Since you’re trying to fool me, I might as well lay my cards on the table.”

At this point, the cocoon around the Golden-winged Roc tightened once more.

“Screech! Screech!!” The Golden-winged Roc screamed with all its strength inside the cocoon.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether I have these cultivation resources or not… But getting rid of your exotic beast is my priority!”
