Chapter 2657: Beast Taming Master

The golden eagle saw Ye Liuyun approaching, thought he was food, and tried to snap its beak at him.

Ye Liuyun immediately placed a Slave Seal on it, causing its golden beak to halt before reaching his head.

"Ah!"

This time not only Lin Xiaoxiao, but everyone else shouted in surprise, thinking Ye Liuyun would be pierced through the skull by the golden eagle in an instant.

After Ye Liuyun controlled the golden eagle, the bird informed him that the beast tamer intended to harm him.

Then the golden eagle immediately withdrew its beak and bowed its head toward Ye Liuyun.

The crowd let out a sigh of admiration, deeply impressed by Ye Liuyun.

The beast tamer instantly tightened the chain, trying to pull the golden eagle back.

Unexpectedly, the golden eagle thrashed violently, causing the iron chain in his hand to slip away.

Ye Liuyun seized the chain, gesturing for the golden eagle to stretch its neck over and help him untie it.

At the same time, he smiled at the beast tamer and asked, "Did you tell that golden eagle to take me as food, hoping it would eat me?"

"Nonsense! I have no grudge against you; on what grounds do you say that?"

Of course the beast tamer would not admit it; he kept trying to summon the golden eagle back to his side, but the bird remained indifferent, ignoring him completely.

After Ye Liuyun unlocked the chain restraining the golden eagle, the bird leaned its head forward, letting Ye Liuyun pat it.

Ye Liuyun told the golden eagle, "Go ahead—do whatever he ordered you to do before!"

Hearing this, the golden eagle instantly glared at the beast tamer, spreading its massive wings with a flap.

It had long resented being constantly shackled to the beast tamer with an iron chain.

Upon receiving Ye Liuyun's command, it seized the chance to retaliate against him.

"You're insane! I'm your beast tamer..." the tamer tried to use his previous method to subdue the golden eagle, pulling out a staff to threaten it.

However, the golden eagle seized the staff in one bite, and its golden beak pecked forward.

In an instant it pierced the beast tamer's skull, then proceeded to swallow him bite by bite.

After a while, it spat out the beast tamer's Storage Ring for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun retrieved the Storage Ring and leapt onto the golden eagle's back.

The golden eagle offered no resistance, soaring into the air with Ye Liuyun aboard, emitting a long howl.

The onlookers were left dumbfounded.

Ye Liuyun tamed the golden eagle and even turned the tables on the beast tamer; now Ma Shan could simply ride the golden eagle away. Such taming speed truly earns the title of Beast Taming Master.

After circling once and landing, Ye Liuyun had someone feed the Black Panther and the golden eagle, then ordered them to be taken away.

He also instructed the soldiers, "No need to chain them; they won't run or attack anyone.

Just don't provoke them in normal times."

The soldiers glanced at Lin feng zhi with some doubt.

Ye Liuyun explained to him, "Ferocious beasts inherently dislike being restrained; freeing them actually makes them more obedient.

All you need to do is follow my instructions and provide them with food and resources on schedule."

Ye Liuyun has already reached an agreement with the two beasts, having them obey Lin feng zhi's arrangements for ten years, after which he will have Lin feng zhi give them extra resources, more than they could capture themselves.

After ten years, the beasts will be free to leave on their own.

Hearing that it's only ten years—faster than they could improve their own strength—they both agreed.

Lin feng zhi tentatively agreed, though he still dispatched many soldiers to watch them.

Yet after a few days he found they were indeed staying still, which completely eased his mind.

He even probed Ye Liuyun, asking what reward or resources he could offer to keep Ye Liuyun around.

Ye Liuyun only requested a detailed map and had no other special demands; the rest of the resources, Lin feng zhi gave him Divine Crystals.

The military map in Lin feng zhi's hand was far more detailed than ordinary maps, with even more precise annotations.

Now the entire Imperial Office treats Ye Liuyun with great respect, venerating him as a Beast Taming Master.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Moyu's petty schemes naturally dared not be employed again.

Yet Lin Xiaoxiao felt a bit resentful, still dreaming of obtaining a beast as a mount for herself.

So she approached Lin feng zhi again, pleading for his permission to go hunting with Ye Liuyun to subdue a beast for her.

It should be known that in the Liulin Dynasty's Royal City, every well‑born wealthy youth prides themselves on owning a ferocious beast pet.

Moreover, they constantly compare whose beast has a higher realm or is more powerful.

Lin Xiaoxiao, wanting to save face, certainly didn't want to miss this chance; with Ye Liuyun present, perhaps she could even have him subdue a double‑tiered celestial‑beast pet.

That would make her glorious.

Lin feng zhi couldn't endure her persistent pleading and finally consented.

Yet he wasn't confident about persuading Ye Liuyun.

After all, a Beast Taming Master like Ye Liuyun would never act casually, let alone have his daughter at his beck and call.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun only agreed to stay temporarily, never to risk his life for him.

In recent days, news of a Beast Taming Master in his manor spread throughout the Royal City, and many came to seek Ye Liuyun's help in taming beasts, many with ulterior motives.

Lin feng zhi stopped some people, but there were others he couldn't block.

For example, Sixth Prince Liu Yunfei and Princess Liu Yunyao of the Liulin Dynasty.

Especially Princess Liu Yunyao, the sole princess of the Liulin Dynasty, whose strength rivals several princes.

Succession in the Liulin Dynasty is gender‑neutral; a queen has ruled before.

Many aristocrats in the dynasty hold Liu Yunyao in high regard.

Even Lin feng zhi wishes to cultivate a good relationship with the princess early.

Yet offering Ye Liuyun as a contribution feels still too early for him.

Now is not the time for him to bleed; doing so would make it seem he has ulterior motives. For now, just showing goodwill is enough.

After thinking it over, he prepared and went to discuss with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also took the map Lin feng zhi had found for him, compared it with his impression of the Double Dynasty Xing Xi, confirmed there was basically no major difference, and then prepared to set off.

When Lin feng zhi came to find him, he roughly guessed what the matter was.

Although he had been resting and eating these past two days, not a single person who came to the Commandant's office had escaped his Divine Sense scrutiny.

These people had all come to beg him to tame Monster Beasts.

So he guessed that Lin feng zhi was also asking him to tame beasts.

He had also been eating and drinking for free for several days, had gathered quite a few Divine Crystals, and could only patiently listen to the end.

Lin feng zhi also put it very tactfully.

After all, Ye Liuyun had not promised him anything; he was merely staying as his guest for the time being. Wanting to keep Ye Liuyun and also have him help curry favor with the prince and princess was no easy task.

"Master Ye has just come to our Liulin Dynasty and has no foundation yet; why not stay in my residence from now on?"

"The treatment I will give you will absolutely be the highest in the entire dynasty!"

He also set out his conditions for Ye Liuyun.
