Chapter 119: The Second Beast Pet

"Kidneys? Testicles?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo froze, realizing Shangyi Huimeizi had misunderstood him, but he could not tell her the truth, or his regeneration ability would be exposed.

So Facing Facing Cang Luo could only say, "Huimeizi, you misunderstood. I will not use kidneys or testicles to tame a beast pet, nor any other organs. Anyway, let's think first about how to catch the ground badger."

"Is that so?" Shangyi Huimeizi looked deeply at Facing Facing Cang Luo and asked no more.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Cang, you can have the Erha blow smoke into the burrows. That will surely force the ground badger out of the ground."

Facing Facing Cang Luo slapped his forehead and said happily, "How did I not think of that?"

Saying this, Facing Facing Cang Luo immediately transmitted the method to the Erha, ordering it to blow smoke into the burrows, to blow until it choked that Flat-Headed Brother to death!

He, Shangyi Huimeizi, and the Wind Li then spread out to guard several burrow entrances, preventing the ground badger from escaping while also waiting for it to come out.

"Awooo! Awooo!"

The Erha roared excitedly twice; the silver wolf head on the left puffed its cheeks and aimed at the nearest burrow, blasting away wildly. White smoke carrying the scent of gunpowder poured continuously from the Erha's wolf mouth.

In a short while, Facing Facing Cang Luo saw smoke rising from a burrow beside the Erha, indicating that the burrows were connected to one another.

Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled and said, "Erha, crush it to death for me. You must force it out. When it comes out, make it your little brother."

"Awooo..."

The wolf head on the Erha's right roared excitedly again, while the wolf head on the left worked even harder to blow out white smoke.

Just like that, the Erha kept blowing white smoke into the burrows, and new burrows around them kept emitting white smoke.

During this time, the ground badger continued to launch surprise attacks and harass them, but its range of movement grew smaller and smaller.

Under Facing Facing Cang Luo's command, the Erha constantly changed positions and burrows to blow white smoke, compressing from the outside inward until only one burrow remained without white smoke rising from it.

Facing Facing Cang Luo sneered repeatedly and, together with Shangyi Huimeizi, guarded the single burrow entrance, waiting for the rabbit to come out.

The Wind Li pressed its ears to the ground to listen, preventing the ground badger from digging out elsewhere to escape.

Shangyi Huimeizi suddenly said, "Cang, do you think the ground badger might have suffocated inside? Or has it already dug a tunnel and run away?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo's heart tightened, and he said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be. It was so arrogant..."

No sooner had the words left his lips than Facing Facing Cang Luo saw the Wind Li's ears twitch. Instantly, he grew alert, knowing the Flat-Headed Brother had not run and was probably unable to hold it in any longer, preparing to come out.

Sure enough, less than half a minute later, a flat-topped head wobbled out from the burrow entrance where the two were waiting. It was indeed the Flat-Headed Brother ground badger.

Facing Facing Cang Luo rejoiced. The Thunder-Striking Palm had been waiting long; he smashed it down squarely on the ground badger's forehead.

With a bang, the Thunder-Striking Palm, using only fifty percent of its power, easily knocked the ground badger unconscious.

"Yoshi!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo happily scooped the ground badger out of the burrow and couldn't help but utter a phrase in the Eastern Land language.

These past days, having spent day and night with Shangyi Huimeizi, his proficiency in the Eastern Land language had improved greatly. This was far faster than learning by watching island nation small films on Earth.

Saying this, Facing Facing Cang Luo tied the ground badger tightly with tree vines, then took a beast skin from his backpack and began drawing the Beast Pet Contract Array.

Shangyi Huimeizi watched silently from the side. She very much wanted to ask what organ Facing Facing Cang Luo planned to use as an offering, but she held back; she would find out in a moment anyway.

After more than ten minutes, the Beast Pet Contract Array was finished. After dripping in blood from himself and the ground badger, everything was ready.

But just then, Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly became uneasy. He was unsure whether the newly regrown appendix could truly serve as an offering to tame a demon beast.

If it could, that would mean he had gained the summoner profession.

If it couldn't... well, it should be able to, right?

Facing Facing Cang Luo took a deep breath, stopped overthinking, and began to tame the ground badger.

One hand pressed on the array, the other firmly grasped the ground badger's flat head, then he exerted all his strength to drive his Yuan Consciousness into the ground badger's brain.

This step proceeded surprisingly smoothly, without the resistance he had encountered when first taming the Erha. Perhaps it was because the Erha had two heads, or perhaps because the ground badger was still unconscious.

In any case, Facing Facing Cang Luo easily controlled the ground badger's brain. Now, all that remained was to offer an organ as an offering to successfully tame it—that organ being the appendix.

Thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo split off a strand of Yuan Consciousness to wrap around the newly regrown appendix. This was the final step, and also the most critical one.

With an uneasy heart, Facing Facing Cang Luo continued to activate the Beast Pet Contract Array. His palms were sweating. Whether he could possess two, or even three, or a hundred beast pets, hinged on this single move.

Just as he was growing tense, Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly felt waves of intense heat coming from his left hand pressing on the array. These waves of heat were the sign that the array had been activated.

Immediately after, Facing Facing Cang Luo felt a slight tightening on the right side of his lower abdomen, a bit of pain.

Looking inward, the appendix had vanished!

After the appendix disappeared, a wound remained, being enveloped and healed by infinite Yuan Power. Cells were dividing, generating flesh and blood drop by drop. It was very itchy...

In that moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo's heart surged with indescribable joy. That feeling... was much like conquering cities and seizing territory.

Success!

The ground badger had become his second beast pet, and moreover, the appendix seemed capable of regeneration!

This meant that in one month, he could tame another beast pet again...

Trembling, Facing Facing Cang Luo withdrew his hands and gazed at the ground badger with fiery eyes, as if looking at a beautiful woman.

The tightly bound ground badger slowly regained consciousness. Opening its cunning eyes, it instinctively stared at Facing Facing Cang Luo again and again. Suddenly, it felt: why had this fellow become so kind?

No, not kind. It was a feeling of being unable to disobey his commands!

This feeling made it extremely displeased.

"Ya-ya-ya! Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya..." The ground badger hoarsely cried out a few times at Facing Facing Cang Luo.

It was transmitting words to Facing Facing Cang Luo: "Let this Great Lord go! Let this Great Lord go quickly!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo's face instantly darkened. He slapped the ground badger, sending it rolling over and over on the ground.

Facing Facing Cang Luo clapped his hands and shouted, "Daring to call yourself 'this Great Lord' in front of me? You little flat-head, you've lived too long, haven't you? Hurry and roll over here to me."

Since its four limbs were bound by tree vines, the ground badger truly could only roll, rolling like a ham sausage right up to Facing Facing Cang Luo.

It emitted a hoarse voice, transmitting words to Facing Facing Cang Luo: "I, this Great Lord, have rolled over. I, this Great Lord, have rolled over."

Facing Facing Cang Luo was speechless. He knew the ground badger actually meant: "I, this Great Lord, have rolled over."

The speed was too fast, with no pause; without the comma, the meaning expressed was vastly different.

Facing Facing Cang Luo untied the Earth Badger while shaking his head and said, "Second Brother, this little brat doesn't know how to speak well yet; you educate him properly for me. He will be your little brother."

"Awooo! Awooo! Yes, Boss!" Second Ha answered Facing Facing Cang Luo with his extremely distinctive accent.

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded, then said to the Earth Badger, "From today on, you are called Pingtou. The Two-Headed Fire-Devouring Wolf beside you is called Second Ha; he is your senior."

The Earth Badger nodded its flat head, then looked at Second Ha. Next, it wrinkled its features as it discovered the Two-Headed Fire-Devouring Wolf was only a First-Grade Demon Beast.

Thus, it extended one claw, a claw pointing upward.

Facing Facing Cang Luo was stunned. The middle finger? Was this provocation? But how did it know the meaning of the middle finger?

Without thinking much, Facing Facing Cang Luo slapped Pingtou again and angrily said, "Respect your seniors! You must coexist harmoniously, or I will skin you!"

This time, Brother Pingtou behaved, nodding and no longer provoking Second Ha, but he raised his middle finger at the Wind Weasel.

Although the Wind Weasel did not understand the meaning of the middle finger, it could sense a hint of provocation. It immediately flew into a rage, revealed its Gao Qi claws, and charged at the Earth Badger, but was grabbed by Uesugi Huimeizi and lifted up like a kitten.

Uesugi Huimeizi held the Wind Weasel and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Lord Cang, have you successfully tamed it?"

"Mm." Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded.

"Then, what organ did Lord Cang use as an offering?" Uesugi Huimeizi said while circling around Facing Facing Cang Luo.

She discovered Facing Facing Cang Luo's four limbs were intact and all his facial features were present; in other words, Facing Facing Cang Luo had not used external limbs or facial features of a human body as an offering to tame the Demon Beast.

Since he did not use limbs and facial features as an offering, it could only be an internal organ.

Was my guess really correct?

Did Lord Cang's kidneys or testicles have a problem? Were they used as an offering to tame the Demon Beast?

Facing Facing Cang Luo noticed Uesugi Huimeizi was staring continuously at his waist and lower body, and said with a speechless face, "Don't look; it's not what you think."

Only a fool would use kidneys and testicles to tame a Demon Beast, but how could he explain this to her?

Facing Facing Cang Luo thought for a moment and said with profound mystery, "I cultivate a secret technique; taming Demon Beasts does not require an offering."

"A secret technique?"

Uesugi Huimeizi's embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, yet she did not believe what Facing Facing Cang Luo said. Although such a secret technique did indeed exist, it had been lost for over a thousand years.

In ancient Qin State, there was an Emperor-Rank Sect called Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, which was the compiler of the "Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas."

Ten Thousand Beasts Villa possessed a secret technique for controlling beasts called the Beast Control Art; the Beast Control Art could tame multiple beast pets without sacrifice and was incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, Ten Thousand Beasts Villa made too many enemies, was exterminated, and the Beast Control Art was lost along with it.

Does Lord Cang know the Beast Control Art?

Impossible!

Uesugi Huimeizi felt it must be related to the secret realm where Facing Facing Cang Luo was from.

So, the reason Lord Cang can tame Demon Beasts without an offering is because Lord Cang is a person of the secret realm? Or is it due to the secret realm's secret technique?

If it is the latter, that would be extraordinary.

The Emperor-Rank Sect Ten Thousand Beasts Villa was exterminated because of the Beast Control Art!

If the secret realm where Lord Cang resides possesses a secret technique similar to the Beast Control Art, then the Eastern Japan Imperial Court must obtain the secret realm at all costs.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Huimeizi looked deeply at Facing Facing Cang Luo. She discovered that Facing Facing Cang Luo seemed not to know what disaster possessing such a secret technique would bring to the secret realm...

Taking a deep breath to calm her excited heart, Uesugi Huimeizi wished she could rush back to the Five Elements Hall immediately.

She walked while saying, "Lord Cang, let us go!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo noticed she was a bit anxious, but did not think much of it. After recalling Brother Pingtou to the Beast Pet Space, he silently followed.

One hour later, the two walked out of the Demon Beast Forest and appeared on a government road.

This government road leads north to the Emperor-Rank Sect Five Elements Hall where Uesugi Huimeizi resides, and south to the Emperor-Rank Sect Profound Heaven Gate where Facing Facing Cang Luo resides.

The two paused at the intersection for a while. Uesugi Huimeizi smiled and said, "Lord Cang, we shall meet again in the future!"

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded and was about to say something, but saw three youths running quickly toward them from a distance. The leading youth was shouting while running, "Meizi, Meizi..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo's eyebrows furrowed wildly. He focused his gaze and discovered the clothes the three were wearing were exactly the same as Feng Qingyun's.

Disciples of the Five Elements Hall?

Is "Meizi" calling Huimeizi?

Facing Facing Cang Luo was stunned and thought of one person: Uesugi Huimeizi's senior brother, who is also her lover.

His name seems to be Lin Zhiping!

No way? How could we meet here?

Facing Facing Cang Luo turned his head and saw Uesugi Huimeizi waving joyfully at the other party.

Speechless, it really is Lin Zhiping...

Should I step aside?

Facing Facing Cang Luo felt a bit nervous at this moment because Uesugi Huimeizi was still wearing his clothes...

What if they misunderstand?

Will they hit me?
