Chapter 257: Compete with Me in Beast Taming?
With the help of Lin Lang!
Wen Jie’s team finally won the competition!
This signifies—
The people from their village will now gain a higher status and enjoy richer resources!
“That’s great!”
The crowd in Wen Jie’s team erupted instantly!
Cheers and laughter intertwined!
Everyone gathered around to celebrate!
Their faces beamed with joy and excitement!
Wen Feiyan grabbed Lin Lang’s sleeve, her expression excited:
“Mr. Lin, thank you!”
Lin Lang raised an eyebrow:
“Still calling me Mr. Lin?”
Wen Feiyan was taken aback, then lowered her head slightly, shyly saying:
“Hu-hubby…”
“Hmm! That’s better!”
Lin Lang curled into a smile!
…
However!
In this celebratory atmosphere, there lay a discordant shadow—
Lin Beixuan!
At this moment!
His expression was so dark it seemed water could drip from it, eyes fixed intently on the scene before him!
The jealousy and unwillingness in his heart burned like a blazing fire!
He couldn’t accept the sight of his beloved leaning tenderly on another man!
“Yanzi, you can’t do this to me!”
Lin Beixuan’s voice turned hoarse from anger, almost roaring out!
“We are a match made in heaven!”
Suddenly!
The crowd fell silent!
Everyone smelled the scent of drama!
Upon hearing this, Wen Feiyan furrowed her brow slightly, leaving Lin Lang’s embrace to ask:
“Beixuan, what nonsense are you spouting? There has never been such a promise between us!”
Lin Beixuan refused to give up and continued to argue:
“Can’t you see I’ve always loved you deeply? Everything I did was for this village and to earn your approval!”
Wen Feiyan took a deep breath and calmly said:
“We all recognized and rewarded your contributions to the village. But relationships aren’t transactions and can’t be won through unilateral efforts. I never made you any promises, because relationships require mutual affection, not coercion.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Beixuan’s face twisted even more:
“What relationship? You only met yesterday, I don’t believe there can be any deep feelings between you!”
Wen Feiyan gently shook her head:
“Feelings aren’t measured by time…”
“No!”
After being rejected by Wen Feiyan!
The anger in Lin Beixuan’s heart turned toward Lin Lang.
He glared with wide eyes, his voice hoarse:
“Lin Lang, it’s all your fault! You stole my woman!”
Lin Lang stood still, his expression calm as water, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through one’s heart.
He looked at Lin Beixuan with an almost pitying gaze, like watching someone eager to prove themselves but ultimately ending up like a clown.
Seeing this, Lin Beixuan’s anger grew:
“What is that expression? Looking down on me? Fine! I’ll show you my strength! I will challenge you! I will defeat you in front of everyone and reclaim everything that is mine!”
Wen Feiyan sighed softly, understanding Lin Beixuan’s deep-seated obsession but still attempting to dissuade him:
“Beixuan, stop this foolishness. I chose Lin Lang because I fell in love with him at first sight, it has nothing to do with his ability.”
But Lin Beixuan, blinded by jealousy, couldn’t hear any explanation:
“I don’t believe you! You chose him because of his strength! In reality, I’m stronger than him! The bald brute may have beaten me, but it was because I wasn’t in good form! And you, Lin Lang, you just got lucky!”
However, these words appeared weak and powerless in front of everyone.
After all, that bald brute who left Lin Beixuan helpless was easily defeated by Lin Lang.
This proved everything!
Lin Beixuan seemed to realize this, but he didn’t want to admit defeat.
He began looking for other ways to defeat Lin Lang:
“Maybe I’m not as good with brute force, but we can compete in other ways! Like real combat skills or beast taming!”
But just then, Ding Xinrou stepped forward.
Her gaze was sharp as a sword, exuding an undeniable authority.
As if silently declaring: Lin Lang, I will defend you!
Seeing Ding Xinrou, Lin Beixuan couldn’t help but feel a trace of fear.
He knew that if he dared to lay a hand on Lin Lang, Ding Xinrou would never stand by idly.
“Coward living off a woman!”
Overcome with jealousy, Lin Beixuan’s eyes reddened, but he was still unwilling to concede so easily. He took a deep breath, suppressing his fear and anger, and loudly declared:
“Then let’s have a beast taming competition! I will show you that I, Lin Beixuan, am not someone you can easily defeat!”
…
A beast taming contest?
Off to the side, Lü Su Ran thought for a moment, just about to step forward!
But Lin Lang reached out to stop her.
Lin Lang glanced lightly at his beast taming ability—
Level 10!
He curled his lips into a faint, indifferent smile:
“Are you sure?”
Lin Beixuan, full of confidence, had a provocative gleam in his eyes:
“Of course! This is my strength; you can’t win!”
Lin Lang readily agreed:
“Sure.”
After all, there was nothing else to do now, so it wouldn’t hurt to play along with him a bit.
However!
Wen Feiyan, standing to the side, furrowed her brows and said worriedly:
“This isn’t fair. Lin Lang has just arrived at our mountain stronghold and hasn’t learned much about beast taming… whereas Lin Beixuan is already an experienced beast tamer!”
Wen Jie, who was watching the scene, also nodded in agreement:
“Yeah, it’s really not fair this way.”
Lin Beixuan, however, let out a cold laugh, with a hint of provocation in his tone:
“Beast taming is the foundation of our stronghold. Since he wants to be your husband, how can he not know how to tame beasts? Wouldn’t that be a joke?”
His underlings chimed in one after another, trying to provoke Lin Lang with their words:
“Exactly! Not knowing how to tame beasts is his own problem! If he doesn’t dare to compete, he should just admit defeat!”
Hearing these words, Wen Feiyan became even angrier and looked sternly at Lin Beixuan:
“Beixuan, you have no grace! You’ve really disappointed me!”
Lin Beixuan gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a stubborn gleam:
“Yanzi, you’ll understand in the future; I’m doing this all for your own good!”
In the midst of everyone’s argument, Lin Lang seemed unusually calm.
He gently patted Wen Feiyan on the shoulder and said softly:
“It’s okay, I’ll be right back.”
Then, he strode towards Lin Beixuan, his gaze firm:
“How do we compete? You tell me.”
Lin Beixuan set the rules for the competition:
“Then let’s see who can tame this fierce beast first!”
With that!
He had someone bring out an extraordinarily ferocious beast.
The beast’s eyes were blood-red, and it emitted a low growl, clearly difficult to tame.
Upon seeing the beast being brought out, the crowd immediately exclaimed as if witnessing something unbelievable:
“Oh my god! It’s a Husky Beast!”
“This is an extremely difficult beast to tame!”
“Never mind Lin Lang, even Brother Beixuan might not be able to handle it, right?”
…
Listening to the crowd’s discussions!
Lin Beixuan’s lips curled into a smug smile, and he confidently declared:
“I’ll go first!”
He stepped forward slowly, his eyes locked intently on the Husky Beast’s eyes, attempting to convey reassurance and trust through his gaze.
At the same time, he cautiously made a series of gestures, trying to calm the beast’s agitated mood.
The Husky Beast initially appeared somewhat wary, but soon, under Lin Beixuan’s soothing efforts, it gradually relaxed its guard.
Seeing this, Lin Beixuan secretly felt proud.
He continued trying to make physical contact with the Husky Beast, cautiously, with gentle strokes.
Finally!
Under Lin Beixuan’s patient guidance, the Husky Beast slowly sat down.
This scene left everyone stunned, and they expressed their amazement one after another:
“Genius! An absolute genius! Lin Beixuan is truly incredible!”
Wen Feiyan, upon witnessing this, couldn’t help but frown; she turned her head towards Lin Lang, her eyes filled with worry:
“If you don’t want to compete, then don’t go up. Anyway, I won’t take back what I said.”
Lin Lang, however, calmly replied:
“Remember, your man will never let you down!”
Upon hearing this, Wen Feiyan felt a warm feeling surge in her heart. She gently nodded, her eyes glistening with trust.
Yet, at this moment, the crowd didn’t have much faith in Lin Lang.
After all, he’s an outsider; how could he possibly be better than Lin Beixuan? For a moment, voices of mockery and doubt rose up:
“Hmph, this outsider kid thinks he can compete with Lin Beixuan in beast taming? It’s pure fantasy!”
“Exactly! Lin Beixuan is recognized as a genius beast tamer in our stronghold, how could he lose to an outsider?”
“This kid probably doesn’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. Let’s just wait and watch him make a fool of himself!”
Facing the crowd’s mockery and doubt, Lin Lang only responded with a faint smile.
He walked onto the field with steady steps, his gaze firm as he looked at the Husky Beast.
The Husky Beast also seemed to sense Lin Lang’s presence, watching him warily as if ready to attack at any moment.
However!
Lin Lang just gently closed his eyes, as though engaging in some mysterious mental communication with the Husky Beast.
Soon after!
He slowly opened his eyes and whistled softly at the Husky Beast!
The Husky Beast was initially startled, but then, as if receiving some command, it began to slowly approach Lin Lang.
Lin Lang continued using his whistle to guide the Husky Beast, which began to perform some simple tasks like walking, stopping, and sitting.
With the changes in Lin Lang’s whistle, the Husky Beast’s actions became increasingly complex—
It started to roll and leap in the air!
It even executed some well-trained pet dog maneuvers like shaking hands and giving blessing gestures, actions only seen in professionally trained dogs!
Lin Lang’s whistle seemed to turn into its baton, and it completely performed according to Lin Lang’s intentions.
The whole audience was instantly plunged into shock, with people widening their eyes in disbelief at the scene before them!
Lin Lang’s beast taming skills were simply beyond everyone’s imagination!
Upon witnessing this, Lin Beixuan’s face turned dark instantly.
