Chapter 2672: Beast Comparison

Ye Liuyun and Liu Yunyao talked and laughed, and it was quite natural.

"The princess really is something, looking for someone to chat with in the middle of the night!"

"Could it be that Master Ye is training a beast for her?"

The Term (generic, exclude) outside waited for a long time, and when Ye Liuyun didn't appear, they complained a bit and then all returned to their own quarters.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw the situation outside and thought it was time to go back.

"If you discover something strange, will you blame me?"

Liu Yunyao suddenly asked Ye Liuyun.

"What strange thing?"

Ye Liuyun asked her in confusion.

"Tomorrow you will know.

Just don't blame me then!"

Liu Yunyao deliberately left it hanging.

"Alright then! See you tomorrow!"

Ye Liuyun didn't ask further.

"See you tomorrow!"

Liu Yunyao solemnly bid Ye Liuyun farewell.

Ye Liuyun suddenly realized that when Liu Yunyao is serious, she looks rather impressive.

"Princess?"

Ye Liuyun recalled a series of events and suddenly came up with this odd thought.

From Liu Yunyao being killed, to her being able to muster so many resources, to the name Liu Yunyao, and the fake princess Hong ling, Ye Liuyun increasingly felt this idea was plausible.

After leaving the Warship, he returned to his own tent and directly used his Golden Pupil to look toward the Warship where Liu Yunyao was.

Sure enough, he saw Liu Yunyao changing clothes; although she was switching to casual wear, Hong ling and another maid were attending to her.

He immediately withdrew his gaze, not wanting to peek at Liu Yunyao.

But that glance was enough for him to confirm her princess identity.

"So she is a princess!"

Ye Liuyun only now learned the truth.

He understood why Liu Yunyao hadn't revealed her identity before; after all, as a princess she must be careful about being seized.

Even a regular Martial Cultivator wouldn't speak the truth right after meeting someone, let alone a princess.

Just like himself, he still hasn't disclosed the facts.

He just smiled, didn't mind much, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating.

The Sixth Prince also received the news.

He toyed with a teacup, murmuring, "We've talked for so long, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to win him over now!"

After changing clothes, Liu Yunyao started chatting with Hong ling.

"You didn't tell him you're a princess?"

Hong ling asked, surprised.

Liu Yunyao shook her head, "I can't say it! I'm afraid once I say it, his attitude toward me won't be so natural!"

"Then what about tomorrow?"

Hong ling also worried for Liu Yunyao.

Liu Yunyao sighed helplessly, "We'll talk then; I hope he won't blame me!"

"He won't expose what's between you and him on the spot, will he?"

Hong ling asked anxiously.

"That wouldn't happen! He's not that kind of person, nor a fool!"

Liu Yunyao wasn't worried about that.

She feared that after Ye Liuyun learned she was a princess, he would distance himself.

Liu Yunyao spent a restless night, and the next day early put on princess attire, waiting to meet Ye Liuyun.

Although still wearing a mask, she thought that once she spoke, Ye Liuyun would recognize her.

Everyone gathered again in the main tent; besides the Sixth Prince, the princess, and Ye Liuyun, five Nobility youths had not returned.

This made the already excited crowd feel regretful, assuming those people had met misfortune and could not come back.

They waited anxiously until noon, still saw no one return, and finally could only confirm they had perished.

Afterward, Lin feng zhi began announcing the end of the hunting contest, dispatching several squads of soldiers to search for the missing, while having everyone display their ferocious beasts one by one for comparison.

He also sent people to invite Ye Liuyun, the Sixth Prince, and the princess over.

Before Liu Yunyao entered, she had already steadied her emotions and taken her stance; she merely greeted everyone and didn't pay special attention to Ye Liuyun.

Hong ling, however, kept watching Ye Liuyun for her; seeing Ye Liuyun show no special reaction, she thought Ye Liuyun hadn't noticed.

When everyone displayed their ferocious beasts, even the highest-level captured beasts were only Heaven‑Man Dual, suggesting most hadn't taken risks.

Even the beast the Sixth Prince captured was only Heaven‑Man Dual.

The princess didn't present a beast, and no one paid attention, all knowing she hadn't gone hunting.

But since they were all Heaven‑Man Dual beasts, it was hard to rank them.

If ordered by time, the Sixth Prince certainly returned first, matching the competition rules they set earlier.

However, some were dissatisfied, believing the beasts they captured were stronger.

The Sixth Prince only caught a Qingfeng Wolf, while some caught Lion‑Tiger Beasts, others a Giant Python, mostly beasts that looked particularly fierce and imposing.

But in Ye Liuyun's view, they are all ordinary.

Only one boy caught a fiery red little snake.

He himself didn't know that little snake's specialness, nor did he think about competing for rankings.

Moreover, it seems his family's status isn't high either, so he basically never thought about competing for any ranking.

That red snake was also coiled tightly together, appearing very tense, not showing its ferocity.

When everyone was arguing without resolution, the Sixth Prince spoke.

"I think we should ask Master Ye to help us evaluate the strength of these same-level ferocious beasts!"

Others also agreed, feeling that Ye Liuyun, as a beast tamer, surely understands ferocious beasts better.

Lin feng zhi also thought that with Ye Liuyun's ability, he could definitely handle this situation, so he also followed suit and asked Ye Liuyun to give an evaluation.

Ye Liuyun thought for a while, feeling that this occasion was not suitable to favor the Sixth Prince.

Moreover, he originally had no intention of ingratiating himself; it would be better to openly and honestly give everyone a talk about ferocious beast knowledge, which would be more practical.

Thus he spoke truthfully: "Actually, comparing the strength of ferocious beasts of the same level is very difficult."

After all, each ferocious beast's attack method differs, and their traits are not the same.

For example, lion-tiger type ferocious beasts inherently have some suppressive effect on other ferocious beasts.

Large-sized ferocious beasts also have a deterrent effect on small-sized ferocious beasts.

But these are not absolute standards.

One must also look at each ferocious beast's specific situation.

Ye Liuyun said, and directly took these ferocious beasts before everyone to start explaining.

"Just like the lion-tiger beast, in size it has a great advantage over the Azure Wind Wolf."

But this lion-tiger beast's bloodline quality and True Essence quality are not as high as the Azure Wind Wolf's.

And the Azure Wind Wolf's bloodline is not as high as that of the saber-toothed tiger, and their True Essence qualities are also roughly the same.

So if they really fought, it's hard to say who would win; mainly it depends on their on-the-spot performance and application of their techniques.

If it's a ferocious beast controlled by a Martial Cultivator, then how formidable the beast is also depends on how the person uses it.

But..."

Ye Liuyun shifted his tone, again drawing everyone's attention.

"If one judges a ferocious beast's value, it should be according to the principle that rarity increases value.

These large ferocious beasts, although also rare, are after all relatively easy to see.

Among these ferocious beasts, one has a very high value!"

Ye Liuuun said up to here, then paused again.
