Chapter 1731

The bond between a pet beast and its beast tamer is not always the same.

Some have no emotion at all; the pet beast is merely a consumable.

Others truly feel affection, regarding their pet beast as their closest comrade and partner.

Generally speaking, beast tamers deeply cherish their main battle pet beasts.

The closeness between Yun Tianyin and the slain God-Rank Mid-Grade pet beast goes without saying!

It was even closer than brothers.

Su Yang's slaying of the Black Wing Elder was revenge for Yun Tianyin.

"Grand Ancestor, don't grieve so!" Yun Shuying whispered soothingly, "Pet beasts dying in battle is only natural. Any beast tamer above the low ranks has surely experienced the loss of a pet beast."

"What Yun Zhanglao says makes perfect sense!" Xia Na, somewhat moved by Yun Tianyin's sorrow, added, "I once lost a pet beast too—I grieved for a long time… For us God-Rank beast tamers, the faces of many pet beasts have already blurred in memory… Master, isn't that right?"

Su Yang lowered his head silently, unsure how to respond.

The atmosphere now called for him to say "yes."

But he didn't want to lie!

Ordinary beast tamers do often lose pet beasts in battle!

But which of his pet beasts had ever died?

Storm Eagle, Earth Rampager, Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly, and Hellblood Vine—all four of his earliest pet beasts had accompanied him all the way to God-Rank…

Void Wanderer, Explosive Yan Mo, Twinborn, Three-Headed Demon Shark, Ying Long, and Extinction Phoenix—all were still alive!

Ice Moon Sprite, Phantom Shadow Cat, Golden Scale Mermaid, Misfortune Divine Crow, Face-Spider, Nine-Tailed Fox… and others—all were well cared for by Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na.

None had been lost!

Admitting he had lost a pet beast felt like admitting he had lost a part of himself.

As a Chinese man, he felt this was terribly unlucky!

"Master, why aren't you speaking?"

Su Yang winked at Xia Na.

Xia Na immediately fell silent.

But Yun Tianyin and Yun Shuying had still noticed.

"Zhanglao Chen, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Nothing!"

Eyes don't get sand in them.

That excuse was too silly.

Yun Shuying ventured, "You haven't lost any pet beast, have you?"

This woman was remarkably sharp!

"Don't ask that question."

Yun Shuying looked intently at Su Yang and nodded.

Yun Tianyin raised his cup and smiled, "I was already over it—until today, when I saw that Black Wing elder, and memories came rushing back… Let's just drink properly!"

"Drink!"

Su Yang raised his cup too!

After all, men!

No obstacle is too great to overcome!

Yun Tianyin's attitude earned Su Yang's respect.

Seeing Su Yang's cup empty, Xia Na hurriedly refilled it.

"Zhanglao Chen, may I have the Black Wing Elder's head?"

"Of course."

Su Yang handed the bloody head to Yun Tianyin.

"Thank you," Yun Tianyin said. "If Zhanglao Chen ever needs my help with anything that doesn't violate morality or principle, just say the word."

"Good, I'll remember that."

As the drinking table grew livelier,

Yun Shuying began, "Zhanglao Chen, to be honest, I never expected you to be the one who killed that Black Wing elder."

"Get used to it."

Su Yang didn't wish to reveal further details.

The beast tamer world is full of hidden dragons and tigers.

Some trump cards are better kept secret from as few as possible.

That Black Wing elder was simply too confident.

He truly believed that owning a space-type divine beast meant he could do anything without consequence!

He didn't know Su Yang's Void Wanderer possessed a Mythic-level space-sealing talent!

The Void Wanderer's space-sealing was far stronger than any space-binding array!

It activated instantly, with no preparation needed.

Before he could react, his space-type divine beast was rendered useless.

Seeing Su Yang say no more, Yun Shuying changed the subject: "I thought you'd say, 'If you can't even beat a retired old man, you might as well go home and farm!'"

"Haha!"

Su Yang smiled.

He admitted—he was a little arrogant.

But isn't the opponent dead?

"If I tell the president this, he'll probably die of anger!"
