Beastmaster: I'm really not a training master

Chapter 995 Bloodshed at the Wedding

Upon hearing Xue Yuan's explanation from the Silver Crystal Tower, Li Qian's lips twitched involuntarily.

"These Gaochang girls are really bold and fiery." He muttered to himself before leaping up and narrowly avoiding the bouquet of flowers that were being thrown at him.

After dodging the thrown bouquet, Li Qian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at her and immediately saw that the Gaochang girl who had thrown him the bouquet had a look of annoyance on her face.

Li Qian gave the Gaochang girl an apologetic look and continued forward without blushing or panting.

But at that moment, the voice of Wu You, a woman from the Winged Tribe, suddenly rang in his mind, "Gaochang girls are fiery and bold, isn't that just your type?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Li Qian's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing the winged woman's words, and he immediately retorted righteously.

"Why don't you check how many sisters are inside the Silver Crystal Tower before saying that?" At this moment, Fei Yue, who had been silent all along, suddenly chimed in.

"Uh... well, it was all an accident, it was all an accident..."

Li Qian felt awkward and stammered a response in his mind.

At the same time, he was puzzled as to what was going on today. Why were the five contracted women not cultivating, but instead having the mind to tease him?

Li Qian gave a perfunctory explanation and, on the surface, continued to move forward at a leisurely pace. In reality, he was secretly sending a telepathic message to Xue Yuan, "Xue Yuan, you should play with them less in the future, lest you be corrupted."

Xue Yuan blushed slightly upon hearing Li Qian's telepathic message, and then nodded gently.

With nothing else to do, Li Qian continued to immerse himself in the conversation, and he continued to transmit his thoughts to Xue Yuan, "By the way, Xue Yuan, how did you know about these things?"

Xue Yuan used her mental power to communicate with Li Qian, "I have a classmate, we're quite close, she's from the Gaochang ethnic group. Once, during a chat, she inadvertently brought up this matter."

"I see." Upon hearing this, Li Qian's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Just as Li Qian and Xue Yuan were communicating using their mental powers, Wu You, a woman from the Winged Clan, rang out again in the Silver Crystal Tower, "Li Qian, as far as I know, among the Gaochang Clan, if there are those who have awakened their ancestral blood, they should be considered as a special race of humans."

"Perfect timing! Your collection doesn't include any beauties from the Gaochang ethnic group yet. Would you like to add some?"

Pa~!

The moment she finished speaking, Li Qian used his mental power to conjure a slap and slapped the winged woman Wu You's shapely buttocks hard.

After slapping him, Li Qian gave a "fierce" warning, "If you misbehave again next time, I won't hit you here."

"Pah, you scoundrel!" Upon hearing this, Wu You, a woman from the Winged Clan, blushed instantly, and involuntarily conjured up some erotic and indecent images in her mind.

After spitting out a curse, she dared not argue with Li Qian anymore.

Withdrawing his mental energy from the Beast Taming Space, Li Qian began to focus on the surrounding scenery.

Their procession of pet beasts, led by three legendary pet beasts, was extremely imposing and attracted many Gaochang citizens to come out and watch.

"It's really lively." Li Qian looked at the streets and alleys, which were packed with people, and couldn't help but sigh.

While feeling sentimental, he couldn't help but think of something else: "If I have the chance in the future, I'll give them a wedding too!"

Having contracted five women, plus the little maid Sun Ruirui, and having them follow him without any clear explanation does seem a bit unreasonable.

As his thoughts raced, Li Qian subconsciously looked into the distance and finally caught sight of the Arc de Triomphe in the city's central square.

"At this rate, it should take about an hour and a half."

The procession of pets would need to pass through the Arc de Triomphe and then return, Li Qian estimated briefly.

Anyway, it should be enough time to get back to the small square in the northern suburbs of Gaochang, where the wedding was held, and have lunch.

At most, there might be a slight delay.

Li Qian is quite looking forward to the Gaochang ethnic cuisine he might be able to enjoy next.

Li Qian made this estimate, and as it turned out, his estimate was quite accurate.

"We've finally arrived."

An hour and a half later, around 12:30 pm, they finally arrived at their destination—a small square in the high-rise residential area of ​​the Gaochang ethnic group on the northern outskirts of Luohui City.

When the parade arrived here, all the relatives and friends jumped down, retrieved their pets, and followed the directions of the staff to find the corresponding tables and sit down.

Li Qian glanced around and saw that the small square was densely packed with at least a hundred dining tables.

This also shows that not all guests participated in the pet parade ceremony.

Those whose strength is not at the Emperor level are not even qualified to participate.

This was Li Qian's own guess, and in fact, it should be the truth, because during the parade, he did not see a single pet beast whose strength level was lower than that of an emperor.

Because he had the typical features of a Gaochang person, the wedding staff naturally led him to a table full of Gaochang people.

Li Qian didn't seem to care much about this.

He didn't care where he ate, as long as he could have a table.

Li Qian sat down and looked around. On the table, there were already some fruits and cold dishes.

He casually picked up a fruit, munching on it while glancing towards the center of the small square, where Lu Ming and Christina, the newlyweds, were slowly walking towards.

It was a small stone platform, surrounded by clusters of flowers, and looked quite beautiful.

The wedding ceremony continued, presided over by an elderly priest with white hair and a faltering gait.

The old priest presided over the ceremony in a hoarse yet resonant voice, saying, "First bow to the ancestral portrait, second bow to heaven and earth, third bow to parents and elders!"

Under the guidance of the old priest, Lu Ming and Christina bowed to the ancestral temple on the north side of the small square, to their elders, and to the four directions of heaven and earth.

After the worship ceremony, the newlyweds sat cross-legged on the stone platform.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Gaochang people dressed in traditional costumes and with various star patterns painted on their faces began to dance.

Under the guidance of the old priest, a group of Gaochang priests began to perform a strange dance, while the old priest announced loudly, "Begin the blessing ceremony."

"The ceremony is complete!" The strange dance lasted for about fifteen minutes before the wedding was truly finished.

As the old priest announced, a group of on-site staff began serving the dishes. Li Qian glanced at the time; it was almost one o'clock, which was indeed a bit tedious.

"That ceremony was a little strange!" Li Qian's mouth watered as he watched the various traditional foods of the Gaochang ethnic group being served one after another. But at that moment, Teacher Ling's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Strange?" Li Qian asked, puzzled.

Teacher Ling explained, "Yes, it's not just a simple sacrificial dance; subtly, this blessing ritual has resonated with the surrounding energy." "Is that so…?"

Li Qian frowned slightly, then relaxed, "It's probably a characteristic of the sacrificial dance itself!"

"I hope I'm overthinking it," Teacher Ling echoed.

Li Qian's heart began to pound.

When someone's skill reaches the level of Teacher Zero, their sixth sense is often very accurate.

Moreover, this time, it's not just a sixth sense.

It's true, we've definitely discovered some clues.

With that, Li Qian became slightly more wary and began to eat.

Not long after, Lu Ming, the groom, and Christina, the bride, came over and went from table to table toasting.

"Brother, make sure you eat and drink well today!" Lu Ming said loudly, his face beaming.

"You don't need to tell me about the food and drink; I certainly won't let you down," Li Qian chuckled, full of confidence.

"Hahaha..." Lu Ming laughed heartily, and said meaningfully, "Next time, it will be my turn to attend your wedding."

"Absolutely." Li Qian patted his chest and uttered three words.

Just as Lu Ming was toasting Li Qian, Teacher Ling's voice rang in his mind again, "Something's not right!"

Puff puff……

The moment she uttered those words, a dramatic change suddenly occurred at the wedding venue.

To everyone's horror, the old priest who had officiated at the wedding, along with a group of young priests who had been dancing and gesturing wildly, pulled out gleaming short knives and plunged them into their own hearts without hesitation.

The dagger pierced through, blood spurted out, and in an instant, the stone platform in the center of the small square looked like a slaughterhouse.

"Damn, bleeding at the wedding, that's not a good thing." Teacher Zero, who was attached to Li Qian, could obviously "see" this scene, and she spoke in a somewhat low voice.

"It seems that today's wedding is unlikely to end well." Li Qian looked at the blood-stained stone platform and echoed this sentiment.

"Ah ah ah..."

When their relatives and friends saw this, they all exclaimed in surprise.

What they were seeing had completely exceeded their expectations.

It even broke down their psychological defenses.

They simply couldn't believe it was all real.

Christina's father, Cade, a legendary beast tamer, reacted quickly, letting out a thunderous roar: "All guests, disperse immediately and leave this place."

"Come on!"

"Leave quickly!"

"So what happened?"

"..."

Upon hearing Kade's shouts, the guests instinctively prepared to leave.

But at that moment, about a dozen black figures darted out from the crowd.

Li Qian glanced around and immediately noticed that these figures had all previously been hidden among the guests, dressed indistinguishable from ordinary guests.

It is indeed not easy to be discovered.

"Leave? It's too late to leave now!" A black-robed man at the head of the group leaped onto the stone platform and uttered a chilling voice.

Buzz~!

The moment he uttered those words, a crimson light curtain suddenly rose up around the entire small square.

Li Qian had sharp eyes and quickly noticed it.

The area around this small square had already been set up with a formation.

The core of the formation is on the stone platform where Lu Ming and Christina just held their wedding.

Just now, the old priest and a dozen or so young priests suddenly took out knives and stabbed themselves in the heart. Now it seems that this was very likely the ritual to activate the formation.

The fact that so much blood is needed to activate it means that this formation is undoubtedly an evil one.

The leading man in black robes stood on the stone platform, looking down at the guests below. He reached up and pulled down his hood, revealing his true face, and said in a mocking voice, "What a wonderful wedding, what a wonderful ceremony! Perfect timing, I can serve you a feast!"

"Arabu, are you crazy?" someone recognized the black-robed leader and shouted at him.

The black-robed man named "Arabu" smiled faintly, "No, I'm not crazy. I've always been very clear about what I should do and what I need to do."

Arabu glanced around, then focused his gaze on a few individuals. "Have you all forgotten the Star Cult's blessing ceremony 158 years ago, you parasites of the Elder Council...?"

Upon hearing Alab mention the Star Cult, Cade immediately questioned, "You're not Alab at all. Who are you?"

"I am Alab, however, Alab is not my full name." The smile on Alab's face did not diminish in the slightest, but it was not normal; it was somewhat morbid and neurotic. A wicked curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Now, I need to formally introduce myself. My name is Alab Mochi!"

"Mochi!" Christina's uncle, who was also Cade's brother, Carly, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Arab's surname.
Li Qian narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing Carlyle's words.

Clearly, there must be some hidden story that I am unaware of.

Otherwise, Carlyle's reaction wouldn't have changed so dramatically.

A sprightly old man stepped out from the crowd of guests and demanded sternly, "You are a remnant of the Mochi family!"

Arabu tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and then said with a hint of mockery, "Remnants? Perhaps in your eyes, I am indeed a remnant!"

The old man's gaze was like a knife, and his expression turned extremely cold. "Since you're here, today, you remnant won't be leaving."

At this moment, Cade also spoke, his eyes filled with rage, "You ruined my daughter's wedding and killed so many priests. Today, you must give us an explanation!"

"Leave?" Arab shook his finger after hearing Cade's words. "No, no, no, I never even considered leaving!"

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his face filled with madness. "Today, how can I bear to leave without slaughtering all of you descendants of blood feuds!"
