Chapter 142: Jingang Recognizes Its Master

~7 min read 1,388 words

Rong Guang didn't expect Ying to actually dare mock him; a Beastman without teeth has no attack power, and he hates being looked down upon by Ying!

"I'm here today to find someone; put down that female on your back; I can, in your father's favor, let you all leave."

When those words were spoken, Youchao Xuan hurried, "Rong Guang, don't even think about it; the Goddess won't give you."

Although he was already wounded, he swore to protect Nan Qinghuan to the death.

Rong Guang's face was full of anger as his gaze fell on Nan Qinghuan on Ying's back, "Nan Qinghuan, you're mute; aren't you bold? So now you can only hide on Ying's back, afraid to face anyone?"

Seeing Nan Qinghuan, Rong Guang almost wanted to kill her on the spot; such audacity to knock out his teeth—he will make her know the price of offending him.

Ying didn't know what Nan Qinghuan had done to offend Rong Guang, and asked softly, "Qinghuan, how did you offend him?"

Nan Qinghuan, lying on Ying's back and feeling awkward, whispered softly into his ear, "He has eaten many people; I couldn't stand it and wanted to kill him, but I knew killing him wouldn't let me leave, so I knocked out all his teeth; now he can never eat people again..."

Nan Qinghuan's voice grew softer, eventually almost a nasal hum; hearing her words, Ying suddenly sneered, "Ha ha, Qinghuan, well done; did you know that after knocking out his teeth he has no aggression at all?"

"Really?"

Nan Qinghuan felt she had done the right thing and was about to speak when Rong Guang roared, "Ying, hand her over to me, and I'll let you go."

The night, originally pitch black, was illuminated by moonlight as bright as day.

Ying straightened his back; he was tall, and Nan Qinghuan on his back was as compact as a kitten, taking no space; he sneered, "No one may try to take Qinghuan away; Rong Guang, step aside for me."

Although he didn't have many people now, his aura was strong; he didn't regard Rong Guang and his few companions; if he had teeth before, he would have worried, but now... he's just a useless old thing!

"What a big mouth!"

Suddenly, Rong Guang let out a wild roar toward the sky; immediately, a thudding sound sounded again; Nan Qinghuan, worried, said, "Not good, Ying, that monster is coming."

Ying was about to speak when he suddenly saw... a robust Da Xingsheng emerged from the jungle; wherever it went, chaos spread.

"Uuuh"

Seeing the Great Beast arrive, Rong Guang was thrilled, "Did you see? This is my newly tamed pet, Ying; today is your death day; Great Beast, kill them all for me."

The Da Xingsheng puffed out air and stepped toward them; Youchao Xuan then realized the ape looked familiar; suddenly, he recognized it.

"Jingang, it's me, don't you recognize me?"

This Da Xingsheng was not a wild monster; it was the lost Jingang; Jingang's eyes turned scarlet; hearing Youchao Xuan's words, it was momentarily stunned, but quickly its beast nature erupted, attacking Youchao Xuan.

"Youchao Xuan, be careful."

Nan Qinghuan shouted, and with a bang, Youchao Xuan was brushed aside by Jingang's claw, crashing to the ground, his body nearly falling apart.

"Jingang, stop!"

Nan Qinghuan could no longer stay on Ying's back; she wanted to get down to stop Jingang, but Ying wouldn't let her down, "Qinghuan, that's not Jingang; it has already been tamed by Rong Guang, now it's his predatory tool."

"It won't; it recognizes me; let me down."

"I won't let you down; if we leave, we leave together."

Nan Qinghuan was frantic; seeing Jingang's claw about to swing at Youchao Xuan, she suddenly thought of something... right, give it a try!

Just as Youchao Xuan was about to be attacked, a strange flute sound echoed from within the Forest.

Jingang, hearing the flute, was first stunned, then suddenly looked toward Nan Qinghuan's direction.

It stopped.

"Oum, keep playing, it seems to recognize you."

Dashan and Ji Lei were thrilled; if Oum could awaken Jingang's memory, today they might not only escape but also give Rong Guang a good beating.

Nan Qinghuan kept playing the Beast Taming melody, but Jingang suddenly went berserk, charging wildly at them.

"Careful."

Suddenly, Ying twisted his body to dodge Jingang's attack; in an instant, a huge tree was split in two by Jingang, and with a bang it fell to the ground.

"Jingang, stop."

Nan Qinghuan was thrown down; Jingang, like a mad beast, grabbed her, snarling, about to devour her.

"Qinghuan."

Ying scrambled up from the ground, too nervous to speak; Jingang's claw held Nan Qinghuan, and a slight squeeze could kill her.

Instantly, the atmosphere solidified, suffocating.

"Uuuh..."

Jingang kept staring at Nan Qinghuan's face, its claw gripping her clothing without letting go; it struggled, shaking its head, seeming to both recognize and not recognize; seeing this, Rong Guang burst into a loud laugh.

"Great Beast, eat her, eat her!"

The Ji Nü who arrived behind, seeing Nan Qinghuan about to be eaten by the Great Beast, was overjoyed and joined the tribe's shouts, "Eat her, eat her, Great Beast, eat her!"

"Father."

Behind, the Rongdi also arrived with a large group; when he saw Nan Qinghuan seized by Jingang, his heart rose to his throat.

"Father, make that beast stop."

Rong Guang suddenly stopped laughing, turned and gave him a cold glance, "What a good-for-nothing son."

"That female knocked out my teeth; she deserves death."

"Father, you forgot what I told you; she cannot die, I still need her to help build the tribe; don't you want to wear the Hemp Robe, don't you want to eat sweet potatoes?"

Hearing this, Rong Guang squinted slightly, then coldly refused, "Even the High Priest could handle all this."

"Leader, I, Duo Luo, swear, the food that Ying Tribe has, our Rongdi Tribe will also have; this female knocked the old leader's teeth, causing him to be unable to eat meat thereafter; she deserves death."

"Shut up."

Rongdi was worried about Nan Qinghuan, but he lacked the ability to rescue her from Jingang's grasp; he could only anxiously watch Nan Qinghuan being held high by Jingang.

In an instant, his mind was a tangled mess.

"Great Beast, eat her."

Rong Guang ordered Jingang; Jingang was about to bite Nan Qinghuan's neck when suddenly a figure lunged toward him.

The force was so great that with a bang it kicked Jingang, causing it to howl wildly; the Nan Qinghuan in its grasp instantly rolled onto the ground.

Whimper…

Realizing he had been kicked, the Vajra grew very irritable and attacked in Ying's direction. Ying was getting up, intending to embrace Nan Qinghuan, when suddenly… "Ying, be careful."

Nan Qinghuan let out a loud shout, rolled agilely to dodge the Vajra's attack, and the Vajra's tail swept across the ground, swift, precise, and ruthless like an autumn wind scattering leaves.

One can hardly imagine how painful that tail strike must be.

Nan Qinghuan quickly rose to her feet, continued playing the Bamboo Flute in her hand; the melody made the Vajra cover its head and writhe in pain on the ground.

"Qinghuan, what's wrong with it?" Ying was very alert. "The Vajra that was just about to attack them is suddenly in such pain—how?" Seeing the effect, Nan Qinghuan kept playing the flute, and everyone stared at her in astonishment.

"She's taming a great wild beast."

Suddenly, Duo Luo let out a loud shout, trying to intervene, but Ying saw through her thoughts and protected Nan Qinghuan, "Who dares to come forward? Try it."

"Ying, you…"

Duo Luo dared not speak of the transaction they had made; otherwise, this High Priest would surely die. She could only watch helplessly as Nan Qinghuan tamed that great wild beast.

Soon, after the piece ended, Nan Qinghuan immediately retrieved the flute and sheathed it at her waist. She then glanced at the Vajra rolling on the ground, and stepped toward it. Ying, worried that the Vajra might hurt her, grabbed her arm, "Qinghuan, don't go. It's no longer the Vajra it once was."

Nan Qinghuan turned back, giving him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, it's already back."

Ying furrowed his brows, "Back?"
