Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"What if I told you that person was Wang Sheng?"

Chen Xueqing gave Yu Changsheng a deep look and asked meaningfully.

"Oh, I see."

To Chen Xueqing's surprise, Yu Changsheng remained remarkably calm, simply nodding slightly as if unsurprised.

This scene, witnessed by Chen Xueqing, immediately surprised her.

"Fellow Daoist Yu doesn't seem surprised; you already had a guess?"

"I have a rough idea, but none of that matters." Yu Changsheng nodded and answered calmly, "Anyway, since they dare to invade my Spirit Mine Island, I have the duty to kill them. Spirit Mine Island is known as the Heavenly Island of Sea Beasts, and these pirates are becoming more and more rampant, daring to lay their hands on it."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"That's not necessarily true. I think this group's target is just you, Fellow Daoist Yu. As for the Spirit Mine Island, I doubt they would dare to covet it."

Chen Xueqing smiled softly, her eyes dimming, and said in a low voice, "Having suffered a defeat this time, he probably won't give up so easily. Fellow Daoist Yu, you should be careful."

"The saint is right."

Yu Changsheng simply nodded and answered casually.

Chen Xueqing remained silent for a while, then shook her head, looked at Yu Changsheng, and suddenly smiled softly, saying:

"In that case, what I said before was indeed unrealistic. You are not one to willingly submit to others. However, although you cannot become my vassal, we don't need to make our relationship too strained."

"Oh, Saintess, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng raised an eyebrow with interest and said, his tone revealing a hint of something indescribable.

What do you think?

Chen Xueqing asked a question with a profound meaning.

"Hehe," Yu Changsheng chuckled, his expression changing. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke with utmost seriousness, "As the Holy Maiden said before, if you rashly help me and stand on the opposite side of Wang Sheng, it is inevitable that there will be gossip and unfounded speculation from the outside world."

"Therefore, I need to be your vassal, to have such a title, so that it is legitimate and everything is reasonable."

As Yu Changsheng spoke, he paused, his smile widening, and his tone softening: "However, besides me becoming your vassal, I have another good way to make all of this seem natural, and to forge a deep bond between us, forming a united front."

"Huh? You mean, you have some ideas?" Chen Xueqing was taken aback, her expression slightly surprised, and she asked in confusion.

"It's very simple," Yu Changsheng chuckled, looked Chen Xueqing up and down, waved his hand and nodded, "I can't be your vassal, but I'm very willing to be your Daoist partner. If you think it's okay, let's become Daoist partners, even if it's just in name. Then it's only reasonable for you to help me with anything."

"Aren't you right?" Yu Changsheng chuckled.

Chen Xueqing's expression also became quite interesting as Yu Changsheng spoke. The smile on her face slowly faded, and a few black lines appeared on her forehead. She said with a forced smile, "Fellow Daoist Yu really knows how to joke."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin, who was standing next to Chen Xueqing, turned completely gloomy. He glared at Yu Changsheng, his gaze turning cold, and he hissed, "Boy, don't be rude to the young lady."

As he spoke, he lightly flicked his sleeve, and a faint aura, as deep and boundless as the ocean, spread out. With just a slight movement, it caused the surrounding spiritual energy to swirl and the aura from all directions to sweep across, making people tremble with fear as it pressed down on Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng was familiar with this aura, having sensed it many times before, and his gaze immediately sharpened: "Nascent Soul stage?"

"Alright, Uncle Lin, Fellow Daoist Yu was just joking. It's nothing. Don't take it too seriously."

Just then, Chen Xueqing regained her composure, stopped Uncle Lin, and said calmly, her gaze falling on Yu Changsheng with a hint of interest.

"Hmph." Seeing this, and with his young lady having spoken, Uncle Lin didn't say anything more. He just snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, glanced at Yu Changsheng with a hint of hostility, and then turned his head away, his heart filled with surprise.

He knew his young lady's temperament best. She seemed easy to get along with, but in reality, she was an extremely aloof person who rarely showed interest in others.

In addition to her outstanding appearance, Chen Xueqing had many suitors wherever she went, including many outstanding young men, but none of them could catch her eye.

There were also some talented disciples who thought themselves very good and dared to harass Chen Xueqing, but the results were all very tragic.

Therefore, even though Chen Xueqing had many suitors on the Sea Beast Island, no one dared to confess their feelings to her, and they all held her in deep awe.

Now, faced with Yu Changsheng's frivolous words, if it were anyone else who said those words, they would probably be taught a lesson by Chen Xueqing and bleed from all seven orifices. But facing Yu Changsheng, Chen Xueqing was unusually not angry, and even spoke up for Yu Changsheng.

The stark contrast was so striking that it shocked and surprised everyone who saw it. Even Uncle Lin was astonished and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Miss, it seems you're genuinely interested in this Yu Changsheng, unlike how you're interested in others..."

As Uncle Lin thought this to himself, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Xueqing again, then turned to look at Yu Changsheng, shaking his head inwardly. The former remained calm, seemingly unaffected by Yu Changsheng's words, while the latter also looked indifferent, showing no other emotional fluctuations.

For a moment, Uncle Lin sighed softly and thought about many things.

"Now that we talk about it, the reason why Miss and Wang Sheng are so at odds is because Wang Sheng said some things to Miss that he shouldn't have said... which aroused Miss's resentment and caused a grudge between them."

"Back then, Wang Sheng was one of Miss's suitors, but that guy was really arrogant. The reason Miss was able to tolerate Yu Changsheng today might be because Yu Changsheng just taught Wang Sheng a lesson, seriously injuring him, so Miss felt relieved? That's why she didn't get angry over such frivolous words?"

Uncle Lin's mind wandered, and he couldn't help but imagine the scene. Only then did he feel much more at ease and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"Yes, that must be it."

.........

Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing had no idea what Uncle Lin was thinking.

At this moment, regardless of what she was really thinking, Chen Xueqing smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu is quite interesting. However, some jokes shouldn't be made without restraint."

"Isn't it because I thought you, Holy Maiden, were understanding, beautiful and kind-hearted, that I dared to do it?"

Yu Changsheng scratched his head and chuckled.

"Hehe," Chen Xueqing chuckled, neither confirming nor denying it.

After thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu is too kind. However, I think we can cooperate."

Chen Xueqing paused, then continued thoughtfully, "To be honest, the conflict between me and Wang Sheng is indeed quite significant, and you have proven that you have the ability to stand up to Wang Sheng."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We can be friends. I need your help to suppress Wang Sheng, and you need me to gain some benefits. How about we join forces?"

"Although you just severely injured Wang Sheng, based on my understanding of him, he will not let you off easily. He will resent you even more because of this incident. The enmity between you can never be resolved. And with his methods, you alone are simply not enough to fight him. On the other hand, I also need to remind you that although you were on top of him just now, he did not actually use his full strength."

Chen Xueqing spoke slowly, her expression serious and her tone calm. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Yu Changsheng, observing every slight change in his expression.

The latter remained calm, simply nodding slightly as Chen Xueqing spoke, and smiling, "It's alright, I didn't use my full strength either."

"Huh?" Chen Xueqing was immediately taken aback.

Yu Changsheng waved his hand and shrugged, saying with a half-smile, "Has the Holy Maiden forgotten that I am a Beast Tamer?"

Chen Xueqing was speechless. After thinking carefully, a look of helplessness and strangeness appeared on her face:

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"That's true, it seems I need to raise my opinion of you a bit more."

"It's said that a beast tamer's greatest skill is beast taming, and that they're utterly helpless outside of that. But it seems that's not the case now. How did you manage to do that?"

Chen Xueqing asked curiously.

If Yu Changsheng hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten that in the battle between Yu Changsheng and Wang Sheng, their strongest techniques were restricted and not brought into play.

His several beasts were held back by the other seven Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, leaving Yu Changsheng to face Wang Sheng alone.

This shocked Chen Xueqing even more, because according to experience, the strongest point is the pre-sale, while the pre-sale itself is a weakness that is easily exploited by others.

However, it seems that this is not the case with Yu Changsheng. Even with his beast taming restricted, he was able to fight against Wang Sheng, the seventh holy son, with his physical body, and even put up a fight, and even had the upper hand.

This is something that is rare among other beast tamers. It can only be said that there are not many beast tamers like Yu Changsheng.

"How did I do that...?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then laughed heartily, a hint of smugness in his expression, and said matter-of-factly, "Perhaps it's because I have higher talent, so it just naturally turned out this way."

After saying this, Yu Changsheng laughed and waved his hand.

Chen Xueqing: "..."

Chen Xueqing was speechless, but she couldn't say anything more. She just held her forehead and her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Hehehe." Yu Changsheng chuckled, his expression natural.

How did he do it? Well, he must have cheated! Yu Changsheng asked himself, he knew he couldn't have done it without the help of a cheat system.

Of course, this was something that couldn't be explained to Chen Xueqing.

Chen Xueqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a smile that exuded a myriad of charms in an instant:

"You're right, Fellow Daoist Yu is indeed no ordinary person and cannot be judged by common sense."

"However, I still have to remind you that Wang Sheng may have had too many concerns in this battle with you, so he did not use his full strength. The most obvious point is that Wang Sheng, like you, is also a beast tamer."

"However, he didn't put much effort into beast taming, it was more of a secondary cultivation. He only had one beast, the Golden-Eyed Black Horned Beast, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank, no less than his own. In other words, the strength he displayed today was only average."

"Golden-Eyed Inkhorn Beast..." Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze sharpened.

"That's right. As a beast tamer, you should know the value and strength of the Golden-Eyed Black Horned Beast. I don't need to say more, do I?"

Chen Xueqing glanced at Yu Changsheng and said indifferently:

"It's no simple feat for him to create a Golden-Eyed Black Horned Beast. He has poured countless resources and effort into feeding it, so even though it is still a juvenile, it has already reached the peak of the fourth rank. Due to limitations such as age and physique, it has not broken through to the fifth rank, but its strength is still not to be underestimated."

Yu Changsheng remained silent. The Golden-Eyed Ink Horned Beast was also a king-level beast among beast tamers, belonging to the top tier among king-level beast tamers.

If all goes well, its adult form will inevitably advance to the fifth rank, which is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator among humans.

"No wonder Wang Shenghui needs the Holy Crystal... and no wonder he even went so far as to personally kill me because of this."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Wang Sheng's Golden-Eyed Inkhorn Beast was only in its juvenile stage. Because of this, although it had reached the peak of the fourth rank, it was stuck there. Waiting until it reached adulthood would take too long. Therefore, Wang Sheng chose to use Sacred Glue Essence to promote the development of the Golden-Eyed Inkhorn Beast as an opportunity for it to break through to the fifth rank.

In the end, however, the Holy Crystal was intercepted by Yu Changsheng, and all his years of hard work went to waste. How could Wang Sheng not be angry?

After all, according to his original plan, if things went smoothly and his Golden-Eyed Ink Horned Beast really broke through to the fifth rank, then with such a fifth-rank beast in charge, his ranking would not just be the seventh holy son.

It's just a pity that Yu Changsheng was such a variable.

These thoughts flashed through Yu Changsheng's mind. After a long pause, he looked at Chen Xueqing, his tone and expression becoming more serious, and said:

"Thank you for informing me, Holy Maiden. I am deeply grateful."

"It's nothing. The more you understand me, the better it will be for me," Chen Xueqing covered her mouth and smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with delight. "After all, I'm still counting on you. It would be best if you could take down that hypocritical Wang Sheng. That way, I'll have less pressure. I've been looking at him for a long time now."

"Haha." Yu Changsheng laughed heartily.

"So," Chen Xueqing paused, then looked up at Yu Changsheng seriously, "I want to cooperate with you, and I mean it."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay." (End of Chapter)
