Chapter 443: Blue-Eyed Fat-Sheep Horse (Combined Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Put away your little schemes!"

Li Zhangsheng's expression did not change; in his eyes, He Qiongjie was no different from a pink skeleton, because it was impossible for him to let He Qiongjie go.

The reason he did not finish off He Qiongjie immediately was simply because he did not know whether she had told others about the Bronze Dragon, even if the probability of that was not high.

Li Zhangsheng stood with his arms crossed, not asking any questions, but instead gazing into the distance toward the Academy District.

Unlike the young man, He Qiongjie was an Instructor at Qingmeng Academy and naturally understood more, which meant he had no intention of trying to bluff her with the Azure Profound Water-Avoiding Bead; he was afraid of being intentionally led astray by her instead.

Not long after, the Light Blessing bird flapped its wings and flew over, with a rabbit as white as jade standing on its back, currently gnawing on a carrot.

From the moment he confirmed He Qiongjie would come, Li Zhangsheng had asked the Light Blessing bird to go find Ning Bizhen in advance to borrow her Cold Jade Rabbit.

Upon sensing the aura of the Cold Jade Rabbit, He Qiongjie's expression changed; she could naturally tell that this could not possibly be Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pet.

A Lord-rank Demon Pet meant its master was at least a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, and possibly even a Sixth-rank or a Pseudo-King.

Li Zhangsheng put on what he considered his most amiable smile and, with a shameless face, said to the Cold Jade Rabbit: "Xiaoyu, help me cast the Soul Bewitching Technique once!"

The Cold Jade Rabbit pretended not to hear, still lowering its head to gnaw on its carrot.

The Three-Legged Fire Crow was not here, so the Cold Jade Rabbit was naturally not afraid of Li Zhangsheng.

"Don't worry, I have already prepared the reward!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head speechlessly, but he had prepared in advance, directly taking out a basket of purple carrots and saying: "You are in luck this time; these are Purple Jade Radishes from abroad, famous throughout the world for being crispy and delicious!"

The Cold Jade Rabbit immediately could not look away; these Purple Jade Radishes looked like works of art, as if they had been carved from purple jade.

The next moment, the Cold Jade Rabbit extended its rabbit paw.

Slap—

Unfortunately, its paw was directly swatted away by Li Zhangsheng, who gestured with his mouth toward He Qiongjie to the side.

Meow—

The Cold Jade Rabbit let out a dissatisfied cry, but it still had to comply obediently, unwillingly casting the Soul Bewitching Technique on He Qiongjie.

He Qiongjie felt that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to close her eyes; the Soul Bewitching Technique required eye contact to be cast, and closing her eyes would prevent her mind from being controlled.

Just at this moment, Baitian and Heiye swiped their claws simultaneously, adding several long cat-scratch marks to He Qiongjie's smooth, fair face.

"Ah!"

Women are all vain, let alone a great beauty like He Qiongjie; she valued her face very much and would meticulously groom it every day.

Now that her face had been scratched, it made her subconsciously open her eyes.

By the time He Qiongjie realized something was wrong, it was already too late; the Cold Jade Rabbit's eyes displayed a 'special symbol', and an invisible force passed through her eyes, ultimately acting upon her soul.

In the blink of an eye, He Qiongjie's eyes rolled back to show the whites, and her entire person fell into an unconscious state, as if she were a walking corpse.

Meow—

The Cold Jade Rabbit cried out to Li Zhangsheng and reached out, wanting to take the basket of Purple Jade Radishes.

Slap—

However, Li Zhangsheng swatted its paw away again, and then, under the Cold Jade Rabbit's dazed gaze, took a Purple Jade Radish from the basket and handed it to the Cold Jade Rabbit.

"I never said this whole basket of Purple Jade Radishes was yours; here, this one is your reward for this time!"

Purple Jade Radishes were not very expensive, but they were, after all, a foreign species and almost never seen in the Langya Kingdom; this basket was something Li Zhangsheng had encountered by chance, and he did not know if there would be a next time, so how could he give them all to the Cold Jade Rabbit?

Without the Purple Jade Radishes, he would have nothing to tempt the Cold Jade Rabbit with the next time he needed its help.

So infuriating!

The Cold Jade Rabbit's cheeks puffed up high in anger; it jumped up, subconsciously wanting to snatch the basket of Purple Jade Radishes.

Suddenly, over a dozen vines burst out from the ground, instantly binding the Cold Jade Rabbit tightly; it was Kailan who had acted.

Crack—Crack—

The Cold Jade Rabbit had immense strength and quickly broke free from the vines' restraint, but just as it wanted to continue forward, Adai was already standing in front of the basket, with Baitian and Heiye standing on either side of its shoulders, while Kailan flapped her three pairs of wings, watching it with a vigilant expression.

The Cold Jade Rabbit weighed the combat power of both sides and ultimately glared at Li Zhangsheng, having no choice but to give up.

"Glutton, then I'll give you a few more, but no more than that!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head with amusement, took a few more Purple Jade Radishes from the basket, and threw them to the Cold Jade Rabbit.

The Cold Jade Rabbit jumped up, seemingly turning into a phantom, and easily caught these Purple Jade Radishes; it took a bite of a Purple Jade Radish and revealed a satisfied smile.

However, the Cold Jade Rabbit only ate one, then carefully hugged the remaining Purple Jade Radishes, waiting to store them away after returning.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng stared at He Qiongjie and asked: "He Qiongjie, why did you have designs on my small courtyard?"

Even Cai Yangqian found it difficult to break free from the Cold Jade Rabbit's Soul Bewitching Technique, let alone He Qiongjie; she could only answer 'truthfully and in detail'.

"I saw the Bronze Dragon cub, and at the same time, I had some doubts in my heart as to why this small courtyard was still fostering so many Spirit Beast cubs, and whether there was some hidden secret!"

Li Zhangsheng kept a cold face; he decided to continue strengthening the Restrictions of the small courtyard after returning to avoid similar things from happening again.

"Besides him, does anyone else know?" Li Zhangsheng pointed at the young man's corpse.

"No!"

After confirming that no one else knew, Li Zhangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak casually: "Tell me all the secrets you know!"

"I had my virginity taken by my foster father when I was thirteen, and when I was eighteen, I killed him with my own hands!"

"In order to become a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, I served a Fifth-tier Stronger who was old enough to be my grandfather for a year!"

"To successfully become an Instructor at Qingmeng Academy, I also had an affair with the Vice Principal of Qingmeng Academy, and we still maintain contact!"

"I also keep two lovers on the side, they are..."

"The Langya Liu Clan has recently dispatched a large number of Liu Clan disciples; they are wandering everywhere at the border between Yecheng and Yuan Province. I think their behavior is very abnormal, so I secretly seduced a few Liu Clan disciples; they seem to be scouting for the Secret Realm of a fallen King!"

You wouldn't know until you heard it, and it was shocking to hear; perhaps because this woman had given up on herself, she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, fully utilizing her own greatest advantages.

The other news was one thing, but Li Zhangsheng took the news about the Langya Liu Clan to heart; after all, this was very likely related to the Secret Realm of a King.

A King's strength is super powerful, and their lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary people, so their collections naturally far exceed the imagination of ordinary people.

Not long ago, Li Zhangsheng had earned a fortune just by exploring one of the Danwang Biefu, let alone a King's Secret Realm.

Even if the harvest were far inferior to the Baisheng King Secret Realm, it would very likely exceed the harvest from the Danwang Biefu.

Unfortunately, given Li Zhangsheng's strength, it is very difficult to seize opportunities from the Langya Liu Clan.

Although the Langya Liu Clan has lost its King, its foundation is deep, and it remains one of the top major powers in the Langya Kingdom, completely on par with Yuanling Academy.

Furthermore, Li Zhangsheng has a certain connection with the Langya Liu Clan.

The Langya Liu Clan possesses a Li Fire Parasol Tree; more than two months ago, Vice Principal Xu Wenhua, in order to keep Ning Bizhen and the Three-Legged Fire Crow alive, personally went to the Liu Clan, wanting to obtain the Li Fire Parasol Tree, or at the very least, some Li Fire Essence.

Unfortunately, the Liu Clan gave Xu Wenhua no face at all, rejecting Xu Wenhua's request time and again, which led to Xu Wenhua returning in defeat.

Fortunately, Li Zhangsheng was capable enough to gather the Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence at the last moment, saving Ning Bizhen and the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng's impression of the Langya Liu Clan remains very poor, and he would love nothing more than to sabotage the Langya Liu Clan's schemes.

However, given the power of the Langya Liu Clan, Li Zhangsheng naturally would not be foolish enough to openly oppose them; he must scheme in the shadows, ideally to get a share of the spoils.

"My head hurts..."

While Li Zhangsheng was deep in thought, He Qiongjie gradually regained consciousness.

Before He Qiongjie could fully wake up, Li Zhangsheng once again gripped her slender, fair neck.

He Qiongjie struggled instinctively, her hands clutching Li Zhangsheng's right hand tightly, yet she could not pry it open at all.

"You cannot kill me, please spare me... ugh, ah!"

Crack!

Li Zhangsheng exerted force with his right hand instantly; accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, He Qiongjie opened her mouth, the light in her eyes rapidly dimming, her head tilted to the side, and she ceased to breathe.

Li Zhangsheng released He Qiongjie's corpse and commanded Adai to dig a pit over ten meters deep, throwing both corpses inside.

While Adai was burying them, Li Zhangsheng began to clean up the surrounding traces; he had done this many times and already had quite a wealth of experience.

Unless the other party possessed tracking abilities similar to a Dark Night Marten, it would be very difficult to find where their corpses were.

Taking a step back, even if their corpses were found, because the surrounding traces had been cleaned, it would be very difficult to suspect Li Zhangsheng, or at the very least, no evidence would be left behind.

Whoosh!

The Giant Whale Kun, which had already reached the Upper Realm, struggled to raise its head, and heavy rain began to fall from the sky, completely shrouding a radius of one hundred meters.

After the heavy rain stopped, Li Zhangsheng recalled the Giant Whale Kun, and his figure suddenly vanished, leaving no trace.

As for Lin Wan, she had returned to the small courtyard long before He Qiongjie was controlled by the Soul Bewitching Technique.

Li Zhangsheng took a trip to the Starry Sky Auction House and discussed matters with Steward Li Tong for a while; what they were discussing was naturally related to the Bronze Dragon.

The Starry Sky Auction House had originally scheduled an auction for five days later and had already conducted preliminary publicity, but due to the Bronze Dragon, they had to temporarily change their publicity plan and increase their investment in it.

Steward Li Tong's actions were extremely fast; in less than an hour, he handed over a still-fresh promotional brochure.

On the cover of the promotional brochure was a very blurry figure and a huge question mark; it did not mention the name of the Bronze Dragon at all, instead using "Unknown Quasi-God" as a substitute.

Additionally, on the back cover, it was written that there was a prize quiz; any participant who guessed the true identity of the unknown Quasi-God could receive a gift specially provided by the Starry Sky Auction House.

In this way, it would undoubtedly greatly increase people's interest, which would in turn bring about very optimistic topicality.

It is not as if the Langya Kingdom has never seen a scene where a Quasi-God was auctioned, but because Quasi-Gods are too rare, and very few Monster Tamers have the idea of selling them, it is mainly based on contracts.

Furthermore, the number of auction houses that have auctioned Quasi-Gods can be counted on one hand, and most are concentrated in Yecheng; this can also be said to be a rare qualification.

"Publicity funds are not an issue; I have only one requirement: it must spread throughout the entire Langya Kingdom within three days!"

As for the remaining two days, they are naturally time prepared for interested buyers.

"Rest assured, this humble one will certainly do his utmost!"

Steward Li Tong looked solemn and bowed in agreement.

The Langya Kingdom is not large; as long as the publicity funds are sufficient, it can completely spread throughout the entire country within three days.

Under the bowing escort of Steward Li Tong, Li Zhangsheng returned to Yuanling Academy holding the Cold Jade Rabbit; he still had to return the Cold Jade Rabbit to Ning Bizhen.

The Cold Jade Rabbit's anger had long since dissipated; at this moment, it was tightly hugging those few Purple Jade Radishes, showing a conflicted expression of wanting to eat them but being unable to.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng arrived at Ning Bizhen's courtyard.

Under the guidance of the old woman, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the backyard; at this time, Ning Bizhen was teasing a Demon Pet that had not appeared before.

This was a white horse with a body length of over four meters, its whole body as white as jade, without a single stray hair; its eyes were blue, and its limbs were thick and powerful, giving one an impression of majesty.

Given that its head did not have a spiral horn, this naturally could not be a unicorn; it just looked somewhat similar in appearance.

"Blue-Eyed Suet Horse!"

At first glance, Li Zhangsheng recognized its identity.

The Blue-Eyed Suet Horse is a rather rare Light-element Spirit Beast; although it has no wings, it possesses the ability to soar through the sky.

Li Zhangsheng vaguely thought of something, but still asked: "Bizhen, this is?"

"This is Xiao Lan, whom I released into the Qinglan Shanmai years ago; it has been staying with its herd all these years, and I only just recalled it!"

The Qinglan Shanmai is not very far from the Academy District; at the speed of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, it can be reached in one or two hours.

While Ning Bizhen was introducing it, the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse watched Li Zhangsheng with a gaze full of vigilance.

"Xiao Lan, be good; from now on, he is also your master!"

The Blue-Eyed Suet Horse revealed a human-like surprise, followed by a very unimpressed sneeze, feeling indifferent toward Li Zhangsheng for the time being.

At this moment, the Cold Jade Rabbit in Li Zhangsheng's arms jumped up, landing nimbly on the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse's head.

The Blue-Eyed Suet Horse showed no signs of struggling, clearly accustomed to the Cold Jade Rabbit's behavior.

It was also at this time that Ning Bizhen shared the information of the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse with Li Zhangsheng.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Blue-Eyed Suet Horse (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Leader 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Pegasus (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Light

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Darkness

Although the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse is excellent, among Ning Bizhen's several Demon Pets, it can only rank at the bottom alongside the Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast.

Upon seeing its realm, Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred; as long as the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse breaks through its bottleneck and advances to a Lord-level Demon Pet, couldn't Ning Bizhen successfully advance to the Sixth Rank!

Tomorrow is the first of the month, shamelessly asking for some guaranteed monthly votes!
