"Is it tasty?"
Xiao Chuan watched the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python gulp down bite after bite, his face full of affection.
"Idiot, all you know how to do is eat!" Queen Medusa realized she had guessed wrong and immediately went back to sleep.
Xiao Chuan gently rubbed its little head with his fingertips. "Eat slowly. I have plenty here. No one's going to fight you for it."
He had already instructed Yun Yun to arrange for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li to go to Jia Ma Holy City and assist Ya Fei in managing the Mittel Family's affairs.
He had other plans for them in the future, but he first needed to train them up so they could handle all kinds of unexpected situations later on.
"I remember the Amethyst Winged Lion King seemed to be injured. If Hai Bo Dong and I join forces, we should be able to subdue it."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, a Tier 6 Magical Beast—and a flying one at that. It would be perfect as a mount for travel.
He had cars for transportation in his previous life. Now that he was on the Dou Qi Continent, there was no way his quality of life could decline. Getting an Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount was perfectly reasonable, right?
Before long, Hai Bo Dong had recovered to the level of a two-star Dou Emperor. When he came before Xiao Chuan, he was full of energy and wore a broad smile.
"Young Master, from now on, I, Hai Bo Dong, am yours."
Xiao Chuan hurriedly shoved away Hai Bo Dong, who was trying to hug him. "I'm not interested in men. Stay away from me."
Although Hai Bo Dong called him Young Master, their relationship was nothing like that of master and servant. They were more like brothers, one old and one young.
Xiao Chuan had never put on airs and could get along with anyone. After all, he had lived for so long across both his previous and current lives. His mentality had already reached middle age, and he had long since learned to let many things go.
"Come back to the Xiao Clan with me." Xiao Chuan changed the subject. "But before that, we'll go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range first."
"What are we going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range for?"
"To subdue a mount." Xiao Chuan stretched lazily. "Let's go. We'll say goodbye to my two brothers first, then head straight for the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Once Xiao Ding and Xiao Li learned just how capable Xiao Chuan was and understood that staying here would be dangerous, they naturally chose to go to Jia Ma Holy City.
Moreover, Xiao Chuan had promised them that the Xiao Clan would also relocate to Jia Ma Holy City before long.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had not seen Xiao Zhan or Xiao Yan in a long time, and they were looking forward to the day they would reunite.
After leaving Shi Mo City, Xiao Chuan and Hai Bo Dong made their way toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had remained in its cave dwelling ever since it was injured.
"Damn humans! You made me spend so long recovering from my injuries. Just wait—I'll make you pay!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub playing nearby. Its anger suddenly flared, and it kicked the cub.
"???" The Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub rolled several times before stopping, its face twisting into a "Subway Grandpa" meme expression.
Sometimes, it truly wished that big brother who had stolen things would come back and take its father away!
During this time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub had taken plenty of beatings. Whenever the Amethyst Winged Lion King was unhappy, it would beat the cub.
It could be said that the cub was suffering beyond words, living in misery every day. That was why it had developed the thought of having Xiao Chuan come and take the Amethyst Winged Lion King away.
Unable to beat its father, the cub could only avoid its edge. It grumpily walked out of the cave dwelling and came outside.
But after taking only a few steps, it saw two figures flying over and slowly descending before it.
When the cub saw that Xiao Chuan had returned, its eyes lit up, and it rushed toward him.
"Young Master, be careful."
Hai Bo Dong stepped in front of Xiao Chuan. Though the little fellow posed no threat, he still had to put on a show.
The cub stopped, then ran over and hesitantly pointed toward the cave, looking as if it desperately wanted Xiao Chuan to enter.
Xiao Chuan asked in surprise, "You mean your old man is inside the cave?"
The cub immediately nodded.
"You really want your old man to become my mount?" Xiao Chuan asked doubtfully.
The cub immediately nodded again, excitedly pointing at the cave as though it could not wait to send the Amethyst Winged Lion King away.
"You really are filial to the death." Xiao Chuan laughed at the cub's actions. Just how much did this little fellow hate its father?
Xiao Chuan and Hai Bo Dong were both Dou Emperors, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King inside the cave quickly locked onto their auras.
"Damn humans! You actually dare come to my territory again!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King charged out and glared viciously at the two of them.
Hai Bo Dong frowned. "This is the mount you were talking about?"
Xiao Chuan nodded.
"You really dare to do it—making an Amethyst Winged Lion King your mount!" Hai Bo Dong admired Xiao Chuan beyond measure. "But with just the two of us, can we really subdue it?"
Xiao Chuan held up eight fingers. "I have an eighty percent chance of subduing it."
"You're plotting against me out loud, as if I don't even exist!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King glared at Xiao Chuan. "If you hadn't ambushed me last time, do you think you could have—"
Before it could finish, it discovered in shock that Xiao Chuan had actually become a Dou Emperor?!
If Xiao Chuan were merely a Dou Wang, then even with powerful Dou Techniques, he could not possibly be its match. Even adding another Dou Emperor would not change the outcome.
But!!
Xiao Chuan being a Dou Emperor was different. The gap between a Dou Wang and a Dou Emperor was enormous.
Xiao Chuan looked at it with complete confidence. "I know you won't willingly become my mount, but I'll make you submit completely."
"Damn human! Die!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was still harboring its towering fury from before. Emptying out its home was bad enough, and now Xiao Chuan had returned to make it his mount?
This was going too far!!
Who was it?
It was the ruler of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!!
Make it a mount? Not even a dog would do that!
"Hai Bo Dong, we'll join forces. You restrain it, and I'll deal with it," Xiao Chuan instructed.
Hai Bo Dong nodded and charged forward. If he had recovered his peak strength, he would not fear the Amethyst Winged Lion King at all.
But he was currently only a two-star Dou Emperor. Fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King was somewhat strenuous, and a moment of carelessness could put him in danger.
Still, since Xiao Chuan said he had a way to deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Hai Bo Dong naturally trusted him.
"Damn humans! All of you, die!!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was already on the verge of going berserk, erupting with endless fury.
Hai Bo Dong was clearly no match for it and was steadily forced back by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attacks.
Xiao Chuan waited for his chance, launching sneak attacks against the Amethyst Winged Lion King from time to time and making it extremely uncomfortable.
"Die!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King angrily spewed Purple Flame Prairie Fire, filling the entire sky with violet flames.
Xiao Chuan looked down from above, a faint smile curling his lips. "Mere ordinary fire dares flaunt itself before me?"
The Green Lotus Core Flame appeared in his palm. With a thought, the cyan flames surged forth with his Flame Blowing Palm, rushing toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Flame.
"Heavenly Flames! You actually possess Heavenly Flames!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression changed drastically. Flames inherently had ranks of superiority and inferiority.
Under the Green Lotus Core Flame's devouring power, its Purple Flame was like a fire being snuffed out, unable to raise even the slightest ripple.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Flame had originally been one of its strongest attack methods. Now that it had been disarmed, how was it supposed to keep fighting?
