"Hey, what do you an by that?" Wang Kai shouted discontentedly, kicking the giant beast’s butt. The man and beast seed like friends, as if the initial hostility had disappeared. When Ye Shikai had patted the giant beast’s head in front of everybody in the Three Temples, it was as if it had been tad. Therefore, Wang Kai didn’t harbor much hostility towards the giant beast this ti.
"Ares, be careful." Emily was quite afraid of this giant beast, especially since even Doris was no match for it. Its enormous size could hardly be filled by three people’s worth of food.
"Don’t worry." Wang Kai nodded. Judging by the beast’s deanor, it looked like it had just woken from a sun nap without any hint of aggression. However... they couldn’t find Ye Shikai anywhere. Could it really have eaten him?
"Hey, you didn’t eat my friend, did you?" Wang Kai continued to ask, unexpectedly causing the giant beast to stand up and shake its head slightly.
"It seems like it understands human speech!" Wang Kai exclaid excitedly, but the two won behind him showed no reaction.
"I think... it’s ignoring you and just rolled its eyes." Athena said disdainfully. She doubted the "big guy" had the intelligence Wang Kai claid, and she didn’t believe it could understand human speech. If this giant beast was the "Qilin" from Huaxia, Athena, being a Westerner, naturally wouldn’t understand its origins.
"Nonsense." Wang Kai turned his head and continued, "Big guy, my friend is okay, right?"
The giant beast slowly turned its head and softly nodded in front of the three.
"See, I told you, it can understand human speech." Wang Kai clapped his hands. No wonder Ye Shikai could ta it; it actually understood speech, like training a sheepdog that can understand its master’s eye signals.
"No way, it must just be a coincidence." Athena still couldn’t believe it and slowly moved forward.
"Big guy, growl at her." As Wang Kai’s words fell, the giant beast suddenly charged out like a leopard pouncing on a herd of deer. The three had no ti to react before the giant beast was in front of Athena, opening its bloodthirsty mouth.
Roar roar roar.
"Now do you believe it?" Wang Kai steadied himself, surprised by the giant beast’s "enthusiasm."
Athena stood motionless, stupefied. She was scared out of her wits. If the giant beast really intended to eat her, she might not have reacted before being swallowed.
"So, this giant beast indeed can understand human speech." Wang Kai muttered, then suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"Great! That ans Old Ye is really okay." Wang Kai shouted loudly. The giant beast looked fierce but was quite docile outside of combat and could tell friend from foe.
"Hey, big guy, where exactly is my friend?" Wang Kai hurriedly asked. Ye Shikai was taken by the giant beast, so it must know. However, this ti the giant beast raised its head to gaze at the sky, a light whimpering sound escaping its mouth.
"What’s it an by that?" Athena asked, leaving the three baffled. After all... they couldn’t speak beast language, and especially not regarding a "Qilin."
"How would I know..."
"What a surprise to find you three here." Suddenly, a voice ca from behind them. Turning around, Doris and Aphrodite had already arrived with their entourage. Apparently, the "mysterious red light" that had taken Ye Shikai to the Qin Dynasty was visible to the whole Holy Mountain.
"Persistent as a ghost." Wang Kai cursed coldly. If it were normal tis, he wouldn’t be afraid. But now, with only three of them, they wouldn’t be a match for Doris.
However, this ti there’s also a giant beast.
"Hey, big guy, we’re friends now. You can’t abandon us when trouble strikes." Wang Kai murmured softly aside, seemingly forgetting that during their first encounter on Holy Mountain, he was the first to attack...
..................
Chen family.
"Family Head, are you alright?" Chen Ruoya entered the room holding ginseng soup. Ever since her return from North Arica’s God King Hall, she had locked herself in the secret room, refusing to see anyone. However, Chen Ruoya knew her ntal state was poor. Ye Shikai had "sent" her back to Yanjing, and Chen Yuxin, being a woman with strong control, was upset after her husband’s rebuke.
"Get out." Chen Yuxin knocked the ginseng soup to the ground, looking disheveled and far from her usual elegance. In re days, she’d made over a hundred calls, all refused by Ye Shikai. Her deepest hatred wasn’t Ye Shikai’s coldness, but Ji Qian beside him.
"That woman, I won’t let her off." Chen Yuxin said through clenched teeth. In her eyes, Ye Shikai’s transformation was due to Ji Qian’s seduction and instigation, and she wouldn’t spare Su Qingyu either.
"Family Head, please take care of your health." Chen Ruoya advised respectfully, unable to bear seeing Chen Yuxin in this state.
"Yes, you’re right, Ruoya. I still have a child." Chen Yuxin seed to rember sothing, stroked her rounded belly, and smiled.
"Ruoya, has he returned yet? Are there any ssages from the Shadow Organization?" Chen Yuxin suddenly turned, excitedly grabbing Chen Ruoya’s collar.
"Master and the others entered Holy Mountain yesterday but no news has co since."
"Useless." Chen Yuxin slapped her angrily, shouting loudly. She was sensitive and easily agitated now.
"Family Head, don’t be agitated. Holy Mountain is the sacred ground of the foreign Underworld, and leading people draws too much attention. Feng Ling fears being discovered by Master, which is why they didn’t enter. However, she reported that Soul Destroyer carried Ji Qian out of Holy Mountain this morning."
"What did you say, Ji Qian was carried out by soone?" Chen Yuxin stood up abruptly. Normally, why would anyone carry her out?
"Does this an Ji Qian is seriously injured?"
"You could say that. Based on reconnaissance, Ji Qian was unconscious at the ti. To avoid alerting anyone, our people only scouted from behind." Chen Ruoya replied.
"Where did they go?" Chen Yuxin inquired.
"Well..."
"Answer quickly."
"Yun City, Worm Sect. They should be looking for Sect Leader Wuyan."
"Ruoya, imdiately gather mbers of the Shadow Organization, prepare a special plane, and we head to Worm Sect."
