This Is Bad! Empress Mother Is Trying to Steal My Master!

"My child, your mother king has returned!"

"Who dares trespass in this king's lair? Roar!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous body landed before the Lion King's lair, and it let out a furious roar. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled! It was utterly enraged. Damn humans—they had actually used a trick to lure the lion away from the mountain!

When the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body landed before Beast King Cave.

Little Amethyst Winged Lion was half crouched at the cave entrance, looking up at the sky at a forty-to-fifty-degree angle. Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King return, it hurriedly ran up and circled the Amethyst Winged Lion King, letting out excited low cries, as if communicating something in the manner of magical beasts.

But very soon, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression changed drastically.

"What? You want to leave with a human?!"

"That is impossible. You are my only child, the future new mother king of this mountain range. You will rule this entire forest! And humans are the most sinister and cunning creatures. They will only scheme against you, plunder you, and never treat you well. No one is worthy of the loyalty of our Amethyst Winged Lion Clan! I will not agree!"

After listening to Little Amethyst Winged Lion's roars, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew into a rage on the spot. It even swung a paw into the air, intending to slap its child awake.

Little Amethyst Winged Lion trembled all over from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's anger. Its front claws leaned forward as it prostrated itself on the ground, its face full of grievance and helplessness. It murmured something, as though using the weakest tone to say the toughest words, unwilling to obey Empress Mother's command.

And just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King's paw was about to slap Little Amethyst Winged Lion's body.

Inside the cave, the young man was no longer willing to stand by and watch. Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King had not used its full strength in this slap, it was clearly intending to teach Little Amethyst Winged Lion a lesson. It was enough to rival a strike from a High-level Great Dou Master.

In an instant, the Peerless Young Man stepped with the elusive and unfathomable Carefree Steps. His bearing was outstanding. He raised his hand, and white-red intertwined Dou Qi appeared in his palm as he unleashed the Black Class Dou Technique, Slaying Palm, to clash with it.

When the two palms collided, the soil beneath Su Qingyun's feet sank several feet.

Little Amethyst Winged Lion lifted its wronged face. Seeing Su Qingyun protecting it, tears immediately welled in its purple lion eyes. It ran to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and used its little head to press against the Amethyst Winged Lion King's chest, as if saying, "Mother, you can't hurt him! You can hit me, but you can't hit him!"

Yun Yun also caught up at this moment at extreme speed. Seeing that Su Qingyun had already faced off against the Amethyst Winged Lion King, her heart instantly tightened with immense anxiety, and she was just about to condense Dou Qi and release a powerful Dou Technique to heavily injure the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Yet she had not expected it.

The next moment, the terrifying magical beast aura around the Amethyst Winged Lion King actually dispersed completely.

Those originally fierce purple crystal lion eyes also widened rapidly. The young man's appearance and figure entered its sight, and a faint Immortal Spirit Aura drifted from his body, making its entire body tremble.

After gaining sudden enlightenment of the Immortal Demon Transformation, Su Qingyun could already completely control the Blood Fiend Qi within his body and was no longer affected by the Blood Fiend Asura attribute.

At the same time, the Immortal Qi Rhyme circulated throughout his body, and the Immortal Spirit Aura around him always flowed out with every movement, making the young man seem, in others' eyes, as if he were always standing amid immortal mist. Coupled with that worldly immortal face that transcended all things, this charm was probably something only those who had truly seen him could understand.

Even the three Fifth Tier Magical Beasts standing on other mountain peaks turned their gazes over here, their faces full of shock. They actually turned and rushed over recklessly, letting out long howls! "What a... what a dashing and handsome human!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King froze, completely captivated by the young man's peerless figure, and could not help sighing in admiration.

"The human you spoke of—is it him?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not know whether it was murmuring or asking. In any case, Little Amethyst Winged Lion sensed that unique lion king admiration on its mother and actually took two steps back, shielding Su Qingyun behind it as it became alert: This is bad! Empress Mother is trying to steal my master! "Child, move aside. Let Empress Mother take a good look at him."

With one paw, the Amethyst Winged Lion King pushed Little Amethyst Winged Lion aside, then circled Su Qingyun and began looking him over. It only felt as if it were seeing a Heavenly Being, and could not help exhaling as it said,

"This Empress has ruled the Magical Beast Mountain Range for decades, even nearly a century, and has also encountered many human prodigies and young talents, yet I have never seen a person with such heroic bearing and immortal beauty."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's face was indeed filled with appreciation and anticipation.

Only then did Su Qingyun sigh in relief.

I knew it. Although a peerless appearance can sometimes bring disaster, it's still very useful at times. Looks like even some Sixth Tier Magical Beasts can become lovestruck fools.

But just as Su Qingyun sighed in relief, and Yun Yun, floating in mid-air, relaxed slightly, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's next sentence made their expressions change: "A young man with such immortal looks and heroic bearing must have a body and bloodline that are unmatched in this age, unparalleled... I just wonder how he would taste?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King licked its purple-red lips, its gaze fixed straight on Su Qingyun.

As soon as these words came out, both Su Qingyun and Yun Yun instantly tensed their nerves.

Su Qingyun silently retreated two steps. The Immortal Qi Vortex within his body began to circulate, and his eyes also turned sharp.

Su Qingyun admitted that he was a little panicked.

Why is this plot different from what I imagined? To Su Qingyun, a Sixth Tier Magical Beast was still a colossal existence. At such a close distance, if it truly wanted to eat Su Qingyun, he feared he would have almost no power to resist.

"Don't be nervous. How could this Empress bear to eat you?"

"This Empress likes you very much. This Empress has never trusted ordinary humans, but you are an exception."

"Child, are you interested in making a deal with this Empress?"

Seeing that Su Qingyun had become somewhat nervous, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally had a hint of laughter in its tone.

Little did he know, at this moment, the nervousness in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart was no less than Su Qingyun's!

As an adult Amethyst Winged Lion King that possessed its own wisdom, the amazement and affection it felt upon seeing Su Qingyun was no less than Little Amethyst Winged Lion's!

But it knew that their identity as magical beasts was an enormous barrier between them and humans. Magical beasts had always been resources in the eyes of cultivators. Humans would often seize the Heavenly Spiritual Earthly Treasures born from their many years of cultivation, and even kill them to take their magic cores.

It had no choice but to force itself to appear calm, unable to reveal its weakness and affection the way Little Amethyst Winged Lion did.

Su Qingyun sighed. "What deal?"

"Little Zi has already told me that it wants to leave with you. I can agree to it and let it become your mount. In fact, even this Empress can follow you and protect your growth. However, you must promise us that when you become strong, you must refine Form Transformation Pills for us. I need your promise."

"As long as you are willing to make that promise and form the Amethyst Blood Alliance contract with me, then these—these, Little Zi, and this Empress—will all be your most loyal beast servants!"
