Chapter 76-80 (2/2)

It was only after Ling He took a careful look did he finally realize that the unmoving Yang Jian was a human figure carved from wood. Instead, it was the creature lying next to Yang Jian that attracted his attention.

”Isn't that a…”

”Big Brother He.” As Ling He noticed something, Ji Fengyan's voice suddenly rang out from behind. When he turned to take a look, he saw Ji Fengyan holding a rather timid Bai Ze as she walked into the courtyard.

”My lady, what is this?” Ling He was a bit confused as he looked at JI Fengyan.

She smiled. ”This is Yang Jian and that black dog next to him is called Howling Heaven Hound.”

Ling He was speechless.

He didn't know what insane ideas his young lady was coming up with again, but as for that Howling Heaven Hound… Please, that was clearly a dark night devil wolf's young, okay?!

The dark night devil wolf was a type of extremely ferocious magic beast. Having exceptional combat capabilities, once they were excited by the scent of blood and entered battle, they would never stop or rest, completely unrelenting in their pursuit. Quite a few life exterminators wanted to catch a dark night devil wolf to use as their mount, but unfortunately the dark night devil wolves were few in numbers to the extent where even the Imperial Family had little contact with them. Only on the black market would one or two occasionally appear and the price of each and every one were all valued at a sky-high price. Most of the time though, there was a price but no market. Coupled with the dark night devil wolf's extremely ferocious nature, very few people could control them, even if one was lucky enough to start raising a dark night devil wolf from youth. Their savage nature meant that they would very rarely listen to their master's orders, to the point where there have even been cases of them killing their own masters.

Therefore, at this time there still hadn't been even one life exterminator that was capable of using a dark night devil wold as a mount.

The appearance of this dark night devil wolf had already caused Ling He enough astonishment, but what made him speechless was that their young lady actually called this dark night devil wolf's young a… black dog.

Ling He secretly wiped away a bit of sweat.

Just as he was preparing to have a nice chat with her about the rarity of a dark night devil wolf as well as the problems with raising it, Ji Fengyan suddenly squatted down and beckoned with her hands towards the dark night devil wolf lying on the ground.

Soon after…

The devil wolf's young that was supposed to be uncontrollably ferocious unexpectedly…

Wagged its tail as it dashed over to Ji Fengyan's side, completely without any of its rumoured domineering aura. Instead, it had a strong hint of trying to act cute as it rubbed itself against her hands.

Chapter 79 – Slowly Get Used to It

Ling He's mouth gaped open. If it wasn't for the fact that a dark night devil wolf's characteristics were so obvious, he really would have doubted if he truly did see things wrong.

The Howling Heaven Hound tried to act cute in front of Ji Fengyan, those blue vertical pupils staring at Bai Ze nestled in her arms. Unable to help itself, its bright red tongue licked its sharp teeth.

Bai Ze felt a dangerous presence and unconsciously shuddered. Its small body tried to tunnel into Ji Fengyan's arms with all its might, those large damp eyes looking as if they were going to cry.

”You can't eat it, it isn't food.” Ji Fengyan slapped the Howling Heaven Hound with a moderate amount of force.

The Howling Heaven Hound resentfully mewled.

It also couldn't be blamed for hungering after Bai Ze. As Ji Fengyan wanted to raise Bai Ze into an immortal deer, she had been constantly feeding Bai Ze medicinal pills over this period of time and normally also hugged Bai Ze too when sleeping. Although at this time Bai Ze still hasn't casted off its mortal body, but the scent that it released couldn't be more attractive to magical beasts.

It simply looked as if it was good to eat!

Seeing the devil wolf acting so obediently in front of Ji Fengyan like a little puppy, Ling He felt that perhaps he really did see things wrongly.

A dark night devil wolf wouldn't be so shameless!

”My lady, since the mineral veins have already been found, when are we going to mine them?” Ling He softly coughed, deciding to ignore the abnormality.

”You don't need to worry about this. Yang Jian and the Howling Heaven Hound will take care of it,” Ji Fengyan said, pointing her chin towards the human figure off to the side.

The stiff and motionless Yang Jian suddenly knelt down, the unexpected movement startling Ling He to point where he directly leapt up.

”I obey,” Yang Jian said hoa.r.s.ely.

Ling He was completely stunned. It took until Yang Jian carried a large basket and left his line of sight with the Howling Heaven Hound before he could finally come back to his senses.

”M-m-my lady, that human figure…” Why was it able to move and speak?

Was it a ghost?!

”Calm down,” she said earnestly, patting Ling He's shoulder. ”You need to slowly get used to these type of things from now on.”

From now on? Ling He was completely dis...o...b..bulated. Was she saying that there would be more similar situations in the future?

He felt that it was very likely… that he wouldn't be able to get used to it for quite a long time.

”Everything should be fine now. Big Brother He, if you don't have anything to do then you should continue cultivating. I'll be taking little Bai Ze out for a walk to help it digest its food,” she said cheerfully, hugging Bai Ze as she left.

Ling He's expression was very conflicted. He couldn't understand why his young lady called siting down and meditating ”cultivating”, and he also couldn't understand how holding Bai Ze would help it digest its food.

Towards that Yang Jian and the Howling Heaven Hound, Ling He was also completely dis...o...b..bulated.

Fortunately, no matter how dis...o...b..bulated Ling He was, he could still be considered well off.

Instead, the Lei family father and son duo who had been taught a lessen yesterday by Ji Fengyan were shrouded in a completely gloomy atmosphere at this moment.

Due to the fact that the injuries on Lei Min's posterior were rather serious, he could only lie on the bed and recover inside the City Lord's Residence. When Lei Xu came back at night yesterday, he had called several doctors over for treatment, helping Lei Min regain consciousness. Unfortunately, the grievousness of Lei Min's injuries far exceeded Lei Xu's expectations. Based on those doctors' words, Lei Min would need at least three to five months of time to recover.

Once Lei Xu received this news, his eyes were dyed red in fury. At this moment, he was standing at Lei Min's bedside, watching his only son's tragic appearance.

Chapter 80 – Lei Family Father and Son Duo

”Father, you must definitely get revenge for your son! That Ji Fengyan is simply a lunatic!” Lei Min hoa.r.s.ely cursed with gritted teeth, lying on the bed. He had never suffered such embarra.s.sment before in his lifetime. Being held to the ground and caned, how could he take such a humiliation?

”Lunatic?” Lei Xu narrowed his eyes, his tone cold. ”Did you really think that Ji Fengyan is a lunatic? Min'er, both of us were wrong, completely wrong. Ji Fengyan is far from being the ignorant person that we thought her to be. She is very clear about her own circ.u.mstance and also very clear about what to do to deal with all of it.”

”Father! She has already injured me to such an extent and you're actually speaking up for her?” Lei Min looked in disbelief at his own father.

”Min'er, I'm not speaking up for her, instead I'm reminding you. This time we lowered our guard. Before, I had always thought that the reason we were able to control Ji Fengyan inside Ji City was because she was a simple child, but in reality what she did was coincidentally the most intelligent choice. Had she gotten into a conflict with us in Ji City, then just based on those guards of hers, she would have been far from being our opponent in terms of military might. However, once we had left Ji City, then the situation would be completely reversed,” he said.

Lei Min was slightly stunned. Although his heart harboured hatred, he wasn't an idiot. He was able to understand Lei Xu's words.

”You don't need to worry. Since I now understand what type of person she is, then I naturally have a method to deal with her. Even if she knows the locations of those mineral veins, so what? Right now, she is in Ji City's domain and in here I am able to deal with her as I please.” Lei Xu's eyes flashed with a cold malicious light.

”Father is thinking of-” Lei Min was a bit shocked in his heart.

Lei Xu smiled. ”You're Ji Fengyan's fiancé, that cannot be doubted. Since you've suffered an injury now, then Ji Fengyan ought to be taking care of you.”

”However, that dead girl is extremely cunning. How would she be willing to come and serve me?” Lei Min asked with furrowed brows.

”You still can't see it? Before, no matter what we did, Ji Fengyan had always had a calm and collected att.i.tude, but this time when she took action it was because those guards of hers had almost been hurt. If I'm not mistaken, then that girl should probably care a lot about those people that her father left behind. AlthoughI have no way to kill her because of that decree of appointment, the people around her aren't protected by it. No matter what I want to do to them, isn't it all at my whim?” He said, shaking his head.

Lei Min's eyes slightly shone.

Lei Xu comforted him. ”This affair doesn't need to be rushed, you just need to recover well. What I need to do still requires the permission of the Eldest Princess. If she agrees, then things will be much easier.”

”However, isn't the Eldest Princess currently concerned about the situation of why the Grandmaster isn't seeing anyone? Would she… even be willing to help us?” Lei Min asked in concern.

”I don't need her to come out and help us, I only need her tacit consent that's all. Furthermore… If this Ji City truly does end up in Ji Fengyan's hands, then it's likely that the Eldest Princess… also won't be happy, right?” Lei Xu chuckled, having a well thought out plan.

”Min'er, you just need to watch. In just a few days, I'll have that dead girl Ji Fengyan docilely come over and personally serve you and all your needs.”

Lei Min naturally didn't say anything else about it.

”Then your child will wait for that day to come.”

The corners of Lei Xu's lips curled up in a sinister smile. ”Just patiently wait, there'll be a good show to watch.”
