Chapter 294

~4 min read 604 words

Looking at the Jin Jingshou, the Skeleton General laughed heartily within his heart.

A creature as ferocious as the Jin Jingshou.

Even he, as a phantom beast, had heard of its fame.

Of course!

The Skeleton General was once again awestruck by the might of his own master.

"To think that the adult Jin Jingshou simply handed its child over to the master as a phantom beast." "Just how unfathomably powerful is the master!" At this very moment!

In the Skeleton General's heart, Chen Xuan's mystery deepened by another measure.

Moreover!

Recently, the Skeleton General had increasingly sensed, emanating from his own master's body.

A tremendous, awe-inspiring presence.

That made him feel a dread rising from the very depths of his soul.

At first, the Skeleton General had assumed it was merely due to the contract between them.

Later he discovered it was not.

Rather, it was that his master now carried upon him a divine, godlike majesty.

Watching his master's somewhat languid figure as he headed toward the Holy Dragon Dojo.

The Skeleton General grew ever more reverent.

"That Jin Jingshou has left!" "What on earth happened!"

From the moment the Jin Jingshou appeared to the moment it departed, it had been but the span of a breath.

The destruction they had imagined never came to pass.

Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa both shared the same reaction.

Each catching the horror in the other's eyes.

"Quick, go take a look!" the two shouted in unison.

They were struck by the very same thought.

Very soon!

They had rushed to the gate!

At this very moment!

A group of little children were playing at the village entrance.

"Xiao Qing, no good, your legs are too short, you can't jump!" "Looks like jump rope isn't for you!" "Come on, let's play hopscotch!" "Wah! Waa!" A familiar voice drifted over. Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa turned in shock.

Their jaws dropped in astonishment. "A-A Skeleton General!"

"And a little Jin Jingshou!" What was it they saw!

They actually saw the Skeleton General and a Jin Jingshou cub playing with a group of children. "E-Excuse me, big brother, did someone just contract this Jin Jingshou?" Feng Feiyang asked, voice trembling, of a villager who was heading out toward the village entrance.

Preparing to go do farm work.

They saw the contract mark had appeared upon the Jin Jingshou cub's forehead.

Clearly!

Someone had just contracted this Jin Jingshou! "Yes, that's right, it was little Xuan who contracted it!"

"That big fellow just now brought its child over on its own to be contracted!" the villager replied. "H-How could this be!"

"That is a Jin Jingshou!" Upon hearing the villager's words.

Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa wore expressions of utter disbelief.

What a proud and lofty phantom beast the Jin Jingshou was.

To think it would willingly offer its own child to contract with a human?"So that little fellow is called a Jin Jingshou?" "Quite the long name!"

"But contracting is contracting, isn't that perfectly normal?"

"You two aren't some country bumpkins who've never seen anyone contract a phantom beast, are you!" The villager shook his head.

Casting a look of disdain at Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa.

As he walked out toward the village. "C-Country bumpkins!" Those three words!

Echoed ceaselessly through Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa's minds.

The two kept muttering to themselves.

Recalling the contempt that villager had shown them earlier.

Filling them with an urge to bury their faces in the dirt.

"Is contracting a Jin Jingshou really that simple?" "M-Maybe it is!"

Feng Feiyang and Yan Mingfa stared at each other, dumbfounded. Together.
