I am Master Maoshan

The Sibuxiang was not a pushover. Although it was frightened by Liu Jun's sudden move and kicked its hooves wildly, it knew the weight of the six words "Monsters will never be slaves". Not only did it not intend to spit out the gold coins, but it mustered up its courage and kicked Liu Jun's stomach with its hind legs.

Liu Jun was too close to the beast, and he had not expected the beast to resist so fiercely. He was caught off guard and could not dodge the kick. He felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he curled up involuntarily, his face turning pale in an instant.

This time, Liu Jun almost vomited bile himself, instead of getting Sibu Xiang to spit out the gold coins. He held his stomach, grimacing in pain, beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

After successfully kicking Liu Jun, the Sibuxiang seemed to have found the courage to escape, spreading its four hooves and running away like a gust of wind. Its tail drew a graceful arc in the air, as if showing off its victory to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun endured the pain in his stomach, gritted his teeth, and hurriedly got up from the ground, chasing after the back of the Sibu Xiang. He knew in his heart that if he couldn't subdue this naughty Sibu Xiang today, he would probably lose both his wife and his army.

Along the way, Liu Jun stumbled and chased Sibu Xiang, through the streets, across the moat, panting with exhaustion. And Sibu Xiang seemed to be very tired as well, with a tired face, and from time to time he looked back at Liu Jun with a hint of fear in his eyes.

It didn't expect that there was someone who was faster and had better endurance than it. For a moment, it couldn't tell who was the monster.

Finally, in an open space, Liu Jun seized the opportunity, pounced fiercely, and finally pinned the monster firmly to the ground.

Liu Jun was breathing heavily, looking at the monster he had subdued, with a smug smile on his face.

At this time, military advisor Chu Liuying and his group of people also hurried over, their footsteps were chaotic but with a hint of urgency. However, without Liu Jun's direct orders, they just surrounded the area cautiously, observing the incredible scene in front of them with nervous expressions.

Liu Jun glanced at the faces around him that were either confused or curious, and couldn't help but reveal a speechless expression. "What are you guys standing there for? Help, tie this guy up!"

A group of people woke up from their dream and stepped forward. Some took out ropes, while others worked together to control the huge body of the beast. After some efforts, they finally tied up the mysterious beast, which looked like many kinds of mythical beasts, and made it unable to move.

"Old man Jin, is this guy from your Platinum Divine Realm? Do you recognize him?" Liu Jun turned his gaze to Prime Minister Jin Xuan who was standing aside, with some expectation in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jin Xuan frowned and carefully looked at the bound Sibu Xiang. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, this beast is not from the Platinum Divine Realm. I really don't recognize it. However, I seem to have seen a pattern of this beast in an ancient book before. It seems to be called Longtie, a legendary beast that is said to have the blood of a dragon and a glutton."

"What? Longtie?" Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's face instantly showed a look of shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Absurd images emerged in his mind: Could it be that this thing is really the offspring of a dragon and a Taotie? Did the dragon cheat, or did the Taotie fall in love with the wrong dragon? The relationship between them is even more complicated than the love and hatred in the palace, and it makes people dare not think too much.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into a brief silence, as everyone was digesting this shocking news. The tied-up dragon seemed to have sensed the surprised gazes of the people around him, and a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't know what his fate would be, and was already scared.

"It is indeed called Longtie. This thing has the blood of Taotie. Its eyes are like torches, revealing its endless desire for food. So, Your Majesty, I suggest you go and take a look at the treasury first. After all, it came out of the treasury." Chu Liuying suddenly spoke, with a solemn and helpless look on his face.

"Treasure house? Oh my god!" Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's face suddenly changed, and his figure disappeared in an instant, rushing straight to the treasure house like a flash of lightning.

His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Chu Liuying looked at Liu Jun's receding back, hesitated for a few seconds, and then decisively ordered: "Carry this dragon and go to the treasury to meet His Majesty. We must find out what is going on as soon as possible."

A group of guards acted quickly, carefully lifted the huge dragon, and walked quickly towards the treasure house.

When the group finally arrived at the Platinum Divine Domain Treasure House, they saw Liu Jun standing there motionless, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he had lost all his soul.

When everyone approached and listened, they heard Liu Jun mumbling to himself: "Empty, everything is empty, the sky has fallen, there is nothing... My treasure house, my treasures, how could this happen..."

His voice was filled with despair and anger, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.

Chu Liuying sighed. Sure enough, it was just as he expected. The dragon entered the treasury and swallowed all the precious things in the treasury like a hungry wolf. Now, the treasury has become an empty ruin, no longer as glorious and prosperous as before.

Liu Jun turned his head to look at Longtie who was carried over, with murderous intent in his eyes. He clenched his hands into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force. Longtie felt the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Liu Jun, and his whole body was shaking, as if he had a premonition of the tragic fate he was about to face.

The guards around also held their breath. They knew that Liu Jun was extremely angry at this moment. Any slight disturbance could trigger his violent rage. The entire treasury was filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere, as if even the air had become solidified.

"It can spit it out." Yan Li suddenly spoke, with a barely perceptible smile in his voice.

"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Jun's eyes, as if he saw the dawn of hope.

The dragon swallowed up all the treasures in the treasury without leaving a single gold or silver coin. If he couldn't make it spit out these treasures, Liu Jun really had the urge to kill this greedy guy.

"Really, but not now." Yan Li shook his head helplessly and explained, "This dragon is still a young beast, and its abilities have not yet fully awakened. Right now, it can only swallow, but it doesn't have the ability to vomit. The space stomach in its body is like a sealed treasure house that can't be easily opened."

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Liu Jun's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a cunning light.

"If I kill it now, can I open its spatial stomach?" Liu Jun asked directly, with a hint of determination in his tone.

Hearing this, Longtie trembled with fear, and his big eyes instantly filled with tears, which fell like beads from a broken string. It seemed to sense Liu Jun's murderous intent, and curled up in fear, making a faint whimpering sound.

"Kill it? That won't work." Yan Li quickly dissuaded him, "Once you kill this dragon, its spatial stomach will lose control and enter the spatial turbulence. By then, you will no longer be able to find the treasures it swallowed."

After hearing Yan Li's explanation, Liu Jun frowned, feeling somewhat unwilling. But then he thought, although this dragon is greedy, it is a rare thing after all. If he could tame it as a mount, wouldn't it not only provide a powerful helper, but also let it work to pay off debts?
"Okay, I'll spare its life for now." Liu Jun sneered, his eyes revealing a cunning light, "I'll catch it as a mount and let it work for me to pay off my debts in the future. Humph, let's see if it dares to be greedy again!"

As he said that, Liu Jun flashed and pounced towards Longtie. Seeing this, Longtie was so frightened that he tried his best to break free, but he was tied up and couldn't do anything, so he finally gave in.

In fact, this giant beast named Longtie was much more intelligent than ordinary monsters. Its eyes gleamed with wisdom, and it clearly saw the murderous intent in Liu Jun's heart.

Long Tie knew very well that if he insisted on resisting and refused to submit to Liu Jun and become his mount, then a tragic fate would most likely await him - being brutally killed, his body turned into a pot of stew for people to enjoy; even if he managed to escape death, he would inevitably be imprisoned for a long time and lose his freedom.

Liu Jun looked particularly small sitting on the huge body of Longtie. He gently patted Longtie's thick neck, and said with unquestionable majesty: "Get up, take me for a walk."

Longtie sighed helplessly. Although his heart was full of reluctance and awkwardness, he still slowly stood up and walked forward with heavy steps.

Liu Jun's weight was almost negligible to Longtie, but the sudden weight and the strange feeling of having someone sitting on it still made it feel very uncomfortable.

"Eat, grow up quickly." Liu Jun took out a large piece of top-grade spiritual stone from his arms. The spiritual stone emitted a dazzling light, as if it contained infinite power. He sat on Longtie and handed the spiritual stone to Longtie's mouth.

Longtie's eyes lit up instantly, and his saliva almost flowed down. Although he would usually devour various treasures and God King coins, that was just his preference, it was instinct. Only this kind of top-grade spiritual stone could truly be his food, absorbed by his body, and transformed into powerful strength.

Looking at the top-grade spiritual stone in front of him, Longtie's heart could not help but ripple. The dignity of this demon beast cannot be violated, and never being enslaved is their creed. However, in front of this tempting delicacy, Longtie had to admit that if there were enough benefits, perhaps succumbing to humans was not completely unacceptable.

With the mentality that beasts have to bow their heads under the eaves, and should not miss the benefits given for free, Longtie opened his huge mouth and swallowed the top-grade spirit stone in one gulp.

A hint of satisfaction and expectation flashed in its eyes, as if it had already seen a future in which its strength would greatly increase and it would soar into the sky.

Liu Jun sat on Longtie, feeling the power surging in Longtie's body, with a smug smile on his lips.

The reason why he was willing to invest so much money was that he thought of something.

That is this dragon tiger. There may be other treasures in its stomach. He just doesn't believe that this guy has never swallowed other people's valuable things except the things in the Platinum Divine Realm's treasury?
