Giant Sun Elephant

Qi Bei crossed his arms, his eyes narrowed as he sized up Marquis Lanling. He knew who he was and could roughly guess his motive.

However, in Qi Bei's memory, he didn't know much about Marquis Lanling, but he knew that this person acted extremely presumptuously, not even taking the Nord Family or the Great Yan Dynasty seriously.

When things are unusual, there must be a demon! Qi Bei was not the Qi Bei of the past. If even the Nord Family and the imperial family of the Golden Leaf Dynasty had to be wary of this Marquis Lanling, then his background would definitely not be simple.

"My little darling, come, let this Marquis taste your flavor." Marquis Lanling completely ignored the two guards screaming on the ground and turned into a blur of shadow, charging towards Vajra.

Vajra roared, his arm muscles bulging, and his massive fists punched through Marquis Lanling's form.

Did he hit?

In an instant, Vajra felt a sharp pain in his backside and his huge body flew forward, landing in a face-first sprawl.

Qi Bei moved, taking two steps to Vajra's side, grabbing his waist, and using a subtle force to pull his body back.

"Old rabbit, is your backside itching? We have two Giant Sun Elephants in our Nord Family. How about I reluctantly part with them and send them to give you a good anal blast?" Qi Bei said with a smile, patting Vajra's arm to signal the enraged Vajra not to act rashly. He could tell that even if Marquis Lanling hadn't condensed his liquid into a pill and become an Earth Grade warrior, he wasn't far off. Such a master was not something he and Vajra could deal with currently.

Marquis Lanling's eyes were filled with killing intent. Although he had a preference for men, Qi Bei calling him an "old rabbit" had angered him.

"Little good-for-nothing, I heard you had a fortuitous encounter in the Undead Mountain Range. Let this Marquis gauge your strength." After speaking, Marquis Lanling's small, woman-like hand suddenly formed into a claw and he reached out to grab Qi Bei's neck in mid-air.

Qi Bei remained motionless, tilting his neck back as if ready to be slaughtered.

The moment Marquis Lanling's claw was about to touch Qi Bei's neck, it paused. Qi Bei was a direct descendant of the Nord Family. He could disrespect the Nord Family with his words, but he didn't have the guts to kill a direct descendant of the Nord Family.

But in that brief pause, Marquis Lanling suddenly sensed danger and retreated like a pink butterfly.

A black light flashed like lightning. Marquis Lanling stabilized himself, and a strand of hair drifted down before his eyes.

Qi Bei inwardly sighed with regret, retracting the Black Sword in his hand. He had only managed to shave off a strand of hair with a surprise attack, and he was a little displeased. He thought it would have been perfect if he could have drawn some blood. He knew that killing Marquis Lanling was impossible with his current strength, unless...

However, Marquis Lanling saw the severed strand of hair, and his meticulously drawn eyeliner-reddened eyes suddenly turned red, as if Qi Bei had killed his mother.

Qi Bei's entire body tensed up. He could see that Marquis Lanling truly harbored killing intent towards him and wanted to kill him.

"Hmph."

Just then, a cold snort suddenly echoed, instantly dispelling Marquis Lanling's killing intent towards Qi Bei.

Marquis Lanling's reddened eyes slowly returned to normal. He glanced at the crowd watching the spectacle behind Qi Bei, then turned and left.

Qi Bei breathed a sigh of relief, his back feeling slightly damp. The killing intent directed at him by a peak King Grade warrior was indeed not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Qi Bei looked back, wondering who it was that had forced Marquis Lanling back with that cold snort. Perhaps it was a master from the Nord Family.

"Vajra, let's go," Qi Bei said calmly, his left fist clenched, within which the image of a divine dragon was roaring.

He too harbored killing intent towards Marquis Lanling.

On the opposite building, Princess Mingyue retracted her gaze, lost in thought.

"Mingyue, it seems your future husband has undergone a complete transformation in the Undead Mountain Range. There are probably no young people in the capital who can shave off Marquis Lanling's hair," Feng Ruoyun said with a faint smile.

"He cheated. Marquis Lanling had no intention of killing him, but he intended to kill Marquis Lanling. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered," Princess Mingyue said, picking up her wine cup and taking a sip.

"Yes, he cheated. His strength is probably only around that of an intermediate warrior. However, in this capital, who would dare to harbor killing intent towards Marquis Lanling when facing him?" Feng Ruoyun looked at Princess Mingyue.

Princess Mingyue and Feng Ruoyun exchanged glances. The two beautiful women, both possessing extraordinary intelligence, were subtly sparring with words.

Feng Ruoyu looked from one to the other, somewhat confused. Why were these two best friends becoming so antagonistic because of Qi Bei?

After a while, Princess Mingyue and Feng Ruoyun both smiled, and the topic shifted, showing a remarkable tacit understanding.

Qi Bei did not return to the Nord Family but went to the beast yard where the family raised various magical beasts.

"Fifth Young Master," the manager of the beast yard respectfully came to greet him. Regardless of Qi Bei's reputation, he was a direct young master of the Nord Family, and this outward respect had to be maintained.

"Are those two Giant Sun Elephants still here?" Qi Bei asked.

"They are. However, these two Giant Sun Elephants have reached adulthood, and it will take some time to tame them," the manager said.

"Take me to see them," Qi Bei commanded.

"Yes, Fifth Young Master." The manager led the way, feeling somewhat strange. Qi Bei's few words had made him feel breathless, and he instinctively obeyed his orders.

Two Giant Sun Elephants, each about two zhang tall, were confined in a huge iron cage. Their mouths, with their sharp tusks, were frantically butting against the cage, trying to break free.

Giant Sun Elephants were Rank 4 magical beasts with comprehensive attack and defense capabilities. They were expensive, costing at least over a hundred thousand gold coins each on the market. If well-trained, the price would double again.

Qi Bei's gaze fell upon the massive appendage between the Giant Sun Elephants' legs, and he suddenly grinned wickedly.

"Open the gate," Qi Bei said.

"Fifth Young Master, these two Giant Sun Elephants have not been successfully tamed yet. Although this iron cage has a magic array to restrain them from using their innate magic, their physical attacks are also very formidable," the manager hesitated, "If something happens to you, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."

"I'm very afraid of dying. Do you think I would joke with my own life? Open the gate." Qi Bei's gaze sharpened as he stared at the manager.

The manager's heart trembled. He took out a specially made key and opened a small door at the bottom of the iron cage.

Qi Bei walked in as if strolling through a garden. What happened next was astonishing: the two agitated Giant Sun Elephants suddenly became quiet after Qi Bei entered.

Qi Bei leaped up and rode one of the Giant Sun Elephants, reaching out to stroke its large ears. He then jumped onto the other Giant Sun Elephant, stroking it as well, muttering something as if to pacify them.

The manager watched, dumbfounded, thinking, Could it be that Qi Bei has the ability to communicate with magical beasts? Only disciples of the Beast Taming Manor, one of the Five Great Holy Lands, are rumored to possess this skill.

It wasn't long before Qi Bei walked out again. However, as soon as he did, the two previously calm Giant Sun Elephants became agitated once more.

"You, send these two Giant Sun Elephants to Marquis Lanling's residence," Qi Bei said to the steward.

"Fifth Young Master, this..."

"Just send them as I told you. I will speak to Father myself," Qi Bei said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the steward.

"Yes, Fifth Young Master." The steward felt a chill run through his entire body under Qi Bei's gaze and dared not say another word.
