Chapter 114: Chapter 114: The 8th King General

Hm?

Hearing this, Zou Kai stood up as well.

If someone was looking for him, it must be urgent.

Zou Kai prepared to head outside.

But he was stopped by Ye Yunyi.

Ye Yunyi then looked at Lü Fang. "Just have that person come in."

"Right away!"

After hearing him, Lü Fang hurried out to bring the person in.

Zou Kai looked at Ye Yunyi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This beautiful woman was directly following Ye Yunyi’s orders.

’She really is completely obedient. Did he train her to be like this?’

"What’s the rush? We were just starting to have fun with our meal."

As Ye Yunyi spoke, Zou Kai sighed.

’I’m so envious!’

’This guy in front of me is just too free!’

Unlike him, who was sent on missions by the Eighth King General and would now have to report back to him.

’Report on the mission!’

In that instant, he felt that working for the Eighth King General wasn’t so great after all.

Zou Kai let out another heavy sigh.

From outside, a figure walked in.

Seeing Zou Kai, he said, "Captain, the Eighth King General is looking for you!"

Hearing this, Zou Kai stood up.

"Brother Ye, it looks like we can’t finish our meal today. I have to go. It seems the Eighth King General is in a hurry."

As Zou Kai spoke, Ye Yunyi thought for a moment.

Then he followed him out into the courtyard.

He let out a whistle.

From not far away, the Qingling Roc came running over on its two legs.

Its running posture was utterly reckless, as if it disowned its own family.

’An Aberrant!’

"Just ride this. It’ll be faster!"

Ye Yunyi said, patting the Qingling Roc.

Zou Kai looked on and nodded. This would save him a lot of time, and he could even make a trip home first.

After all, he reeked of blood and it would be better to change his clothes before seeing the Eighth King General.

The Qingling Roc let out a sharp cry.

Then, it spread its wings.

With a light tap of his foot, Zou Kai leaped onto the Qingling Roc’s back.

The Qingling Roc flapped its wings.

The sound of a sonic boom instantly erupted!

And then,

it shot off into the distance at extreme speed!

"Holy shit!"

Feeling the Qingling Roc’s speed, even Zou Kai couldn’t help but curse out loud.

’What the hell!’

’This is too damn fast!’

He had never experienced such speed before!

Compared to the Qingling Roc he had seen at that ruined rampart before, this one’s strength had increased by leaps and bounds.

Aboard the Qingling Roc’s back,

Zou Kai was full of doubt.

’This speed... it’s probably above the Mid-Diamond Stage!’

’How did this bird grow so fast?!’

’How strange! Truly bizarre!’

In just a short time,

the Qingling Roc arrived at the Zou Family residence.

It then began its descent.

At that moment, Zou Ling’er had just returned to the Zou Family home. She had changed into a snow-white dress and was about to stroll around the courtyard, pretending she hadn’t gone out.

But the next moment,

a fierce gust of wind kicked up!

Zou Ling’er tried to cover her face to block the fine dust.

But the next moment,

she felt something was wrong.

Her face instantly flushed red.

Then,

she quickly clamped her hands down on her dress.

’Almost!’

’Almost!’

Zou Ling’er’s face was still flushed.

A bashful look was on her face.

’Why?’

’Why was there such a sudden gust of wind?’

’She had almost... ’

As she thought this, she saw a giant bird descending from the sky.

This!

Zou Ling’er’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

’This bird!’

’It’s huge!’

Her heart skipped a beat.

’It’s an Exotic Beast!’

’This is bad!’

But then, she saw her older brother dismount from the bird’s back.

"Brother?!"

Zou Ling’er’s brain was about to short-circuit.

The twist after twist after twist.

It was making her head spin.

’When did my brother get a mount like this?’

Seeing the confusion on his sister’s face, Zou Kai explained, "This is my friend’s mount. He lent it to me for a bit. I’m going to change my clothes first, then I have to go see the Eighth King General."

Saying this, Zou Kai hurried off to change.

He left Zou Ling’er and the Qingling Roc staring at each other.

Zou Ling’er looked at the Qingling Roc, thinking about what her brother had said.

’His friend’s?!’

’A friend?’

’Didn’t he just go to see Lord Ye?!’

This!

’Lord Ye!’

’He’s actually my brother’s friend?!’

’Are my brother’s connections this wide?!’

’But, I guess it’s normal.’

’After all, since he works for the Eighth King General, he must know a lot of powerful Mutants.’

Still, Zou Ling’er felt a sense of delight in her heart.

’So he’s my brother’s friend, hehe!’

Then, Zou Ling’er focused her gaze and attention on the Qingling Roc.

’So, this is Lord Ye’s big bird!’

’It’s so big!’

She then walked toward the Qingling Roc.

Extending a small hand, she tentatively gave it a light touch.

The Qingling Roc didn’t resist.

Zou Ling’er then reached out with both of her small, fair hands.

She touched its feathers.

’They feel just like steel!’

’Hard as iron!’

’And so dark!’

’Utterly black!’

’Just looking at it feels like it could pull your very soul inside!’

But,

’it’s so well-behaved!’

’It’s letting me stroke it!’

A short while later,

Zou Kai came out, having changed his clothes.

And then he saw the scene before him.

Instantly, his eyes widened and his heart seized!

It felt as if it had stopped beating altogether!

’This sister of mine!’

’She has some nerve!’

’What is this thing?!’

’This is a powerful Mid-Diamond Stage Flying-type Exotic Beast!’

’And you dare to just touch it casually?!’

’What if it decides to eat you?!’

He immediately strode over.

Seeing her brother approach, Zou Ling’er smiled. "Brother, this big bird is so well-behaved. I’m petting it and it’s not reacting at all!"

Zou Kai didn’t know what to say.

He prepared to leave.

"Which friend of yours does it belong to?"

Zou Ling’er asked casually, as if it just occurred to her.

"You don’t know him. I’ll introduce you when I bring him home for dinner sometime." As Zou Kai said this, Zou Ling’er’s eyes lit up. ’That would be great!’

But then, as if remembering something, Zou Kai said, "We’ll see about it later."

’Damn it,’ Zou Kai thought, looking at his innocent, pure, and naive little sister. ’What if that marriage-crazed demon takes a liking to her?’

’Wouldn’t that be letting the wolf into the sheepfold?’

’Forget it, forget it. We’ll talk about it later.’

’First, I need to find the Eighth King General!’

With that, Zou Kai patted the Qingling Roc.

It flapped its wings and immediately took to the air.

Zou Kai leaped onto its back.

And off he went!

"Hey!"

Below, Zou Ling’er heard her brother’s "We’ll see about it later" and tried to call out to him, but her voice was drowned out by a sonic boom!

She watched her brother and the big bird fly into the distance.

She stomped her foot.

’Why?!’

’He was just fine with it, so why did it suddenly become "we’ll see about it later"?!’

’My brother is so fickle!’

Hmph!

Zou Ling’er pouted.

Meanwhile, Zou Kai sped along.

When he was about a kilometer away from the Eighth King General’s location, he had the Qingling Roc land.

After all, the Eighth King General didn’t know this was Ye Yunyi’s mount. If he mistook it for an invading Exotic Beast and destroyed it on the spot...

how would he ever explain that to Ye Yunyi?

With that, he headed toward the Eighth King General’s residence.
