Chapter 60: Heart in Turmoil

Lu Chen returned to his residence, Chu Lian was still refining pills.

Arriving at the room where the Red Thunder Vicious Beast was, the originally comatose beast had now recovered considerable vitality.

It lay on the ground, its body rising and falling slightly with breath, its aura no longer weak, faintly exuding a mighty pressure.

Sensing someone intruding its territory, the Red Thunder Vicious Beast abruptly lifted its head, its expression ferocious, growling as it fixed its stare on Lu Chen.

That gaze seemed as if it wanted to devour a person.

Seeing its reaction, Lu Chen was not annoyed; instead, he smiled slightly.

"Su Qian, please take action."

He now has weakened soul and spirit; it's hard to say if he could truly face the Red Thunder Vicious Beast head-on.

After all, a fifth-rank demon beast is already equivalent to the peak of the Transforming Spirit realm.

He estimated that his current strength was at most comparable to the early stage of the Transforming Spirit realm.

"Little brat, you'd better still be able to talk tough later."

Lu Chen gave a cold smile, then left the room and closed the door.

He came to Chu Lian's side; as it was late, Gu Xiangxiang had already gone to sleep, unable to hold on.

"Chu Lian, don't exhaust yourself."

Lu Chen proactively approached her, speaking with a concerned tone.

"No need for you to worry."

Chu Lian saw Lu Chen approaching and instinctively stepped back a few paces.

These past days, she had been pondering one matter.

That is, after completing her master's task, how should she tell the master so she wouldn't be beaten to death.

After all, the master had repeatedly instructed her...

Suddenly, an idea appeared in her mind.

She stopped her pill-refining work, letting the pills in the furnace shatter.

She came before Lu Chen, proactively lifting his chin.

"Lu Chen, do you know what it means to have taken my purity?"

"What does it mean?" Lu Chen dismissed it; it was her own request, what does it have to do with him.

Moreover, later she even sat......

"It means you must face the wrath of the Black Ashen Gate alone."

"Black Ashen Gate?"

Lu Chen knew this was a top-tier sect, one of the six great sects of Zhen Continent, belonging to the same category as the Heavenly Demon Sect.

But he didn't understand why it could be linked to the Black Ashen Gate.

"To be frank, I am the fiancée of the Holy Son Gui Qing of the Black Ashen Gate."

Chu Lian originally thought that upon hearing this, Lu Chen would react with extreme fear.

After all, everyone in Zhen Continent knows the might of this Holy Son of the Black Ashen Gate.

Reaching the Perfection of the Transforming Spirit realm at twenty, he could be called the first among the younger generation of Zhen Continent in ten thousand years.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, Lu Chen was not only unafraid, but also had anticipation flickering in his eyes.

"Fiancée? So what?"

"Let him come; it's just a good chance to see how his fiancée is... by me."

Saying this, Lu Chen, in a vengeful manner, pulled Chu Lian into his embrace.

At that moment, Chu Lian instantly recalled that previous accident.

"What are you doing?!"

"What do you say I'm doing?" Lu Chen gave a slight smile, lifted her chin, his eyes restless as they wandered.

"Let go of me!"

Chu Lian grew somewhat anxious.

If this happened once, it could be overlooked; but if there were a second time, where would she put her face?

Although, during cultivation, she faintly felt that Lu Chen's physique could help her raise her realm.

But this is not a reason for them to indulge recklessly.

Seeing Chu Lian anxious and about to take out a magic device to resist, Lu Chen hehe-smiled and loosened his grip.

"Go to sleep early; I still have matters to attend to."

Watching Lu Chen re-enter the room of the Red Thunder Vicious Beast, Chu Lian clenched her fists, looking as if she wanted to kill.

"Damn man!!"

She cried out repeatedly, her weapon thrusting several times into the void toward Lu Chen's position.

She herself didn't know what had come over her.

She felt great dislike for Lu Chen, yet could not bring herself to act against him.

"I feel my heart is in turmoil......"

Chu Lian murmured a sentence, watching the pill furnace gradually cool down, for a while she had no further thoughts.

"Forget it, go to sleep early."

Chu Lian originally intended to return to her room to sleep, but saw that Lu Chen's entered room was not closed tightly.

Out of curiosity, she came to the doorway and secretly glanced inside.

"Red Thunder Vicious Beast?! How could such a rare magic beast be hidden in the room?!"

"Is Lu Chen trying to subdue it?" Chu Lian wore a face of disbelief.

Not to mention that Lu Chen and the Crimson Thunder Beast are separated by an entire major realm.

Just based on the Crimson Thunder Beast's unrestrained nature, even if it were dead, it could never become anyone else's beast mount.

"Huh!!! This......"

As Chu Lian's words fell, she saw the Crimson Thunder Beast within the formation kneel before Lu Chen.

The original arrogance vanished, replaced by a submissive posture only seen on the most loyal servants.

"This...... this is impossible?!"

"It's absolutely because it's still young; otherwise it's impossible!"

Chu Lian's eyes instantly widened, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Indoors, Lu Chen smiled slightly, slowly reached out his hand, and stroked the Crimson Thunder Beast's somewhat hard fur.

The stroked Crimson Thunder Beast not only did not resist, but also comfortably narrowed its eyes and let out a low purring sound from its throat.

Exactly like an enlarged version of a cat.

"Show me your ability."

Lu Chen issued the command.

The next moment, the Crimson Thunder Beast suddenly stood up, its body faintly glowing with thunderlight, it let out a long howl to the heavens, its voice carrying power and the dignity of its high bloodline.

"This familiar feeling—could the Crimson Thunder Beast be related to the primordial heavenly demon?"

After performing the Demonic Beast Raising Technique, a strong sense of excitement surged within Lu Chen's body.

Obviously because he cultivated the Heavenly Demon Metamorphosis Technique.

Thinking back, when he obtained the Heavenly Demon Pill, he had the same reaction.

"In that case, it seems we won't lack blood for cultivating the Heavenly Demon Metamorphosis Technique!"

Lu Chen thought of this, and his eyes lit up.

The Crimson Thunder Beast has strong recovery ability; taking some blood from it should pose no problem.

Being stared at by his gaze, the originally dignified Crimson Thunder Beast once again turned into a docile appearance.

It seemed to be telling Lu Chen that it was obedient and not to draw its blood.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"By then I won't shortchange you; I'll get you some high-level magic beasts to eat."

"If luck is good, I'll also find you a wife!"

Upon hearing the word "wife", a glint flashed in the Crimson Thunder Beast's eyes.

The reason it appears within the Heaven Demon Sect's range is because it has entered its growth period and has the idea of seeking a mate.

But I didn't expect to be discovered by someone.

"I still have some beast parts that aren't useful to me; you can take them and eat them."

The Crimson Thunder Beast's digestive ability is extremely strong; this bit of stuff is nothing to it.

"By the way, we still need to give you a name."

Lu Chen fell into contemplation.

He is a typical naming incompetent.

"Forget it, just call you Prosperity Wealth."

Upon hearing the name Lu Chen gave it, the Crimson Thunder Beast was clearly not very satisfied.

But, upon thinking back to just now in the contract space, when Lu Chen made any move, they dared not say anything else.

They hurriedly rubbed against Lu Chen's feet in a docile manner.

"Good good good! I also have a decent beast mount!"
