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

253 There’s No Need To Summon Spirit Beasts

“Shen Fei, let’s see how you’re going to block my Purple-and-gold Flames!” Qin Haoyang shouted arrogantly.

The Purple-and-gold Flame was the Qin family’s secret technique. It could burn a martial artist’s spiritual core and meridians, and from there, destroy the martial artist’s spiritual power. As a result, no cultivator from the Qin family dared to let others know that they had this secret technique to avoid being killed.

Unfortunately, Qin Haoyang had met the freak-of-nature Shen Fei. He did not prioritize keeping his Purple-and-gold Flames a secret, and adopted a different mindset when it came to Shen Fei.

As soon as the Purple-and-gold Flames appeared, Qin Haoyang immediately took out a pill and consumed it. This pill was called the devastating spirit breaker pill. It was a first-tier pill with overpowering effects. It could temporarily double the strength of the person who took the pill, and the effects would last fifteen minutes.

!!

He believed that with the support of the Purple-and-gold Flames, Shen Fei would definitely lose.

Shen Fei sneered in disdain and said, “Do you think you can change the outcome by swallowing that lousy pill? You’re really na?ve.”

He had already guessed that Qin Haoyang would use such a pill to increase his strength, but he was not flustered by it at all. That was because even if Qin Haoyang were to consume a pill, Shen Fei would still be able to crush him!

Qin Haoyang teased, “Shen Fei, you still don’t plan on summoning your spirit beast to fight me?”

“I don’t need to,” said Shen Fei indifferently.

“You don’t need to? Ha! You must be scared silly, right?” Qin Haoyang regarded Shen Fei with disdain and sneered. “Could it be that you think the little bit of strength you displayed is enough to defeat me?”

Shen Fei could not be bothered to answer, and walked straight toward the ape.

The Demonic Ape roared and once again charged toward Shen Fei.

The Demonic Ape’s power increased by several-fold. “Grunt!”

Shen Fei’s expression was ice-cold, he did not dodge or evade the ape. Although the Demonic Ape’s speed was fast, it was still unable to harm Shen Fei.

“Get lost!” Shen Fei roared and threw a punch. The Demonic Ape was instantly sent flying off the arena stage.

“H-how is that possible?” Qin Haoyang was stunned. What he just saw had exceeded his expectations.

‘His punch actually sent the ape flying!’

“Little b*stard, fight me again if you have the ability!” Qin Haoyang’s face twisted unpleasantly.

Shen Fei slowly approached him. “I’ve said it before: In my eyes, you’re just an ant that I can kill anytime.”

Qin Haoyang’s expression changed drastically as he quickly twisted his dagger. The dagger sliced through the air, bringing along a sharp edge as it went straight for Shen Fei’s throat.

However, the dagger could not touch Shen Fei at all. It stopped half an inch in front of him and did not go any further.

‘How is this possible?!’ Qin Haoyang’s eyes widened in shock.

Shen Fei casually reached out and grabbed the edge of the dagger. Qin Haoyang felt as if the dagger was being held by a pair of iron pincers. At this moment, his heart was in a panicked state and he could not calm down.

Shen Fei stared at Qin Haoyang and said coldly, “You still have one last chance. Submit to me or die. The choice is yours.”

Hearing Shen Fei’s words, Qin Haoyang’s face turned ugly. “In your dreams!”

“Since that’s the case—”

“Argh! I surrender!”

Before Shen Fei could finish his sentence, Qin Haoyang suddenly shouted. He threw the dagger away and knelt on the ground.

Seeing Qin Haoyang’s actions, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar; they never expected Qin Haoyang to surrender!

“Wasn’t this guy stubbornly unyielding just now?”

Qin Haoyang’s actions stunned Shen Fei. He frowned and said, “Are you sure you want to surrender?”

“I admit that I’m not as good as you.” Qin Haoyang’s face was full of shame. “I’m willing to accept my loss!”

Shen Fei sighed and shook his head, “You should understand that I won this battle very easily.”

Hearing this, Qin Haoyang’s face burned with pain. He wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Qin Haoyang took a deep breath. “Brother Shen Fei, I’ve lost, But don’t worry, I won’t reject your request.”

“Oh?” Shen Fei’s eyes revealed astonishment.

“Brother Shen Fei, my father is Lord Qin. It just so happens that he has a Darksteel mine,” Qin Haoyang explained. “If you agree to my two conditions, I can help you get access. How about it?”

“Tell me,” Shen Fei said with interest.

“The first condition is that I will be your little brother from now on and will follow your orders,” Qin Haoyang said.

“Okay,” Shen Fei readily agreed and asked, “What’s the second?”

Qin Haoyang hesitated for a moment before saying, “The second condition is… I hope you won’t pursue this matter in the future. I also promise that I won’t reveal your true strength.”

“Alright.” Shen Fei nodded his head in agreement.

Qin Haoyang was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, “My Qin family has an Eight-level savage beast and over five hundred Beastmasters. If we join forces—”

Before Qin Haoyang could finish, Shen Fei waved his hand and interrupted him, “I appreciate your good intentions, but our cooperation should not extend this far.”

Qin Haoyang was shocked. Shen Fei’s decision was something he did not expect.

“Brother Shen Fei, are you really not going to consider it?” Qin Haoyang tried to persuade him.

“I’m sorry.” Shen Fei shook his head and continued, “I don’t lack resources, and I don’t lack a backer.”

Hearing this, Qin Haoyang fell silent. He had thought that with the strength that Shen Fei had just displayed, he would definitely want to rely on a powerful political force to strengthen his family. However, Shen Fei clearly did not think so.

“The mountain is high, and the road is long. We’ll part here for now.” Shen Fei turned and left.

Qin Haoyang stared at Shen Fei’s back as he disappeared, and was silent for a long time.

…

“Shen Fei, it seems that Qin Haoyang wants to become your brother.” Aloy smiled and looked at Shen Fei. “I realized that the more I get to know you, the more I feel that you are unfathomable.”

“Shouldn’t you have noticed that long ago?” Shen Fei chuckled. “That Qin Haoyang isn’t simple either. Although his cultivation strength is lower than yours, he is a peak-level Emperor-tier Beastmaster. His combat strength is terrifying.”

Aloy pouted and said. “But I think that with his personality, he’ll definitely hold a grudge.”

...

Shen Fei shook his head and smiled. “You’re overthinking it. I’m not the same type of person as he is.”

Shen Fei understood Qin Haoyang’s character well. He would not willingly stay under someone else, for sure. If it was anyone else, they would have become Shen Fei’s enemy.

But Qin Haoyang did not… Because Shen Fei simply looked down on him.

“You’re very powerful, but I don’t think Qin Haoyang will let you go so easily. You have to be careful,” Aloy reminded him.

“I know. Oh, right, this jade pendant is for you.”

Shen Fei took out a shiny, translucent jade pendant from his storage ring and passed it to Aloy.

“Huh? What is this?” Aloy scrutinized the jade gemstone, and her expression gradually became serious. “This jade pendant seems to contain some kind of special fluctuation. It—”

“It’s called the voice transmitting jade pendant. As long as you hold it, we can contact each other,” Shen Fei said.

Aloy’s eyes lit up. “A voice transmitting jade pendant… Does this thing really have such a magical effect?”

“Would I lie to you?”

“Haha, fine! This is great!” Aloy was overjoyed and quickly accepted the jade pendant. “Thank you!”
