Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 765 This old geezer is no good!

Jingzhe City.

Bai Qi leisurely savored the local delicacies by the sea, but his eyes remained fixed on the huge ship docked in the harbor in the distance.

"I never imagined that shipbuilding technology was so advanced in this era. The wisdom of our ancestors is truly remarkable."

Bai Qi picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, sighing with emotion.

"Indeed, after ascending to the throne, the Dragon Emperor vigorously supported the development of various industries, and it can be said that he single-handedly promoted the great explosion of ideas in this era."

Bai Qiucha nodded and said, "This Wolong ship is the work of the Jia Sect. If we really want to count, they might be the ancestors of your Mechanical Engineering Department."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately became interested. Although knowledge certainly advances with the times, this does not mean that past knowledge is inferior to future knowledge.

Sometimes, the vintage series is even better than the future series.

"It's a pity there wasn't enough time, otherwise we would have found a chance to make contact, Shuke might need it too."

Bai Qi sighed with some regret, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned to look behind him.

They were located in the largest restaurant near the port, with a superb view, so it was bustling with people.

However, the group of guests who just came up gave Bai Qi a strange feeling.

"Killing intent? It doesn't seem like it."

Bai Qi glanced at the group out of the corner of his eye, a hint of doubt in his mind.

"Bai Qi, those people..."

Bai Qiucha also noticed something amiss and quietly inquired about it with Bai Qi.

"Yes, they all came from the battlefield."

Bai Qi nodded and looked out the window at the street again.

At some point, several people with similar demeanors appeared on the street below, including several legendary beast tamers.

"Judging from this, the Dragon Emperor is almost here..."

Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the other end of the street.

After a period of commotion, the figures of the Dragon God Guards appeared in sight, followed by a series of giant dragons appearing in the sky.

Upon seeing this, the people on both sides of the street knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"

Immediately afterwards, a golden dragon chariot slowly drove in.

"Just as I expected!"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up at the sight. Although he had already met two human emperors, it did not diminish his curiosity about the Dragon Emperor.

Moreover, in terms of time, this should be the Dragon Emperor's strongest period.

I wonder if the Dragon Emperor possesses the combat power of a demigod at this time?

As the imperial carriage slowly approached, the surrounding people became excited.

Yes, because they were able to see the Dragon Emperor in person.

And some, obviously, are for other reasons...

Bai Qi glanced discreetly at the corners around him and saw that the people there were staring intently at the direction of the dragon carriage, their fists clenched, seemingly a little nervous.

"Acha, keep an eye on those guys. Zhuge Chen, if anything changes, remember to protect the ordinary people around you."

Bai Qi whispered a few words of instruction, then looked down at the legendary figures below.

"As for the rest, leave them to me."

Finally, the imperial carriage arrived near the restaurant. The surroundings were extremely quiet; not even a pin drop could be heard, and even breathing was clearly audible.

However, precisely because of this, the chilling aura became even clearer, as if it could materialize at any moment.

"Get ready, they're about to make their move."

Bai Qi's eyes narrowed, and he was ready to summon his pet beast, but at that moment, the dragon carriage suddenly stopped.

The sudden stop of the dragon carriage clearly took everyone by surprise, and after seeing the group of Dragon God Guards leaving the procession and heading towards the restaurant, Bai Qi clearly felt that the breathing rates of the people around him had changed.

Have these people's actions been discovered?

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. Thinking about it, it made sense. The Dragon Emperor's current strength was likely that of a demigod, or at the very least, a top-tier power among the legendary. Even he could detect the anomaly, so there was no reason why the Dragon Emperor couldn't.

Soon, the Dragon Guard arrived at Bai Qi's floor and went straight to the window seat.

However, their target was not the suspicious individuals Bai Qi had imagined, but himself.

"Your Excellency Bai Qi, His Majesty requests your presence."

A Dragon God Guard approached Bai Qi with a golden scroll and respectfully handed it to him, leaving Bai Qi completely bewildered.

How did the Dragon Emperor know his name?

Is it the Green Dragon Clan Chief? Or has the Dragon Dynasty's intelligence capabilities become this terrifying?

"Your Excellency Bai Qi, His Majesty has said that he will explain your doubts in person. Please move His Majesty's imperial carriage first."

The Dragon God Guards were very respectful. Bai Qi examined them for a long time but couldn't find any trace of disguise before taking the scroll and opening it.

"Young man from the future, look down."

Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Bai Qi's pupils constricted. He peered out the window and discovered that the dragon carriage's window had been opened at some point. Through the crack, he could vaguely see an elderly man in a dragon robe waving at him.

"I understand. Could you please lead the way, gentlemen?"

Bai Qi let out a heavy sigh and gestured for Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen to follow, but they were stopped by the Dragon God Guards.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Bai Qi, His Majesty only wishes to meet with you for the time being; these two are not included."

"I'm the only one here?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly, summoned Alpha to guard the two of them, and then left with the Dragon God Guard.

"Will Bai Qi be alright?"

Zhuge Chen was somewhat worried, but Bai Qiucha seemed to have thought of something and said, "I think Bai Qi should be fine, and this distance won't have much of an impact on Alpha, so don't worry."

"Too."

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly and said no more, but the worry in his eyes still lingered.

After all, that was the Dragon Emperor.

Led by the Dragon God Guards, Bai Qi arrived in front of the dragon carriage. Before Bai Qi could knock, the wooden door in front of the dragon carriage slowly opened.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't stand on ceremony and pushed open the door to go inside.

"Hello, boy from the future."

As soon as Bai Qi entered, he saw an old man smiling at him. If it weren't for the dragon robe he was wearing, Bai Qi might have mistaken him for an ordinary old man on the roadside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. May I ask what business Your Majesty has with me?"

Bai Qi took a deep look at the Dragon Emperor's two eyes, one yin and one yang, and understood. He then got straight to the point.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just happened to meet a time traveler, so I wanted to have a good chat with you."

to chat with?

Bai Qi's lips twitched; he clearly couldn't accept this reason.

"Okay, it seems you don't really enjoy chatting. Let's change the subject."

Seeing this, the Dragon Emperor chuckled and said, "I'll be dying in a month. Interested in accompanying this old codger on his final journey?"

Upon hearing the Dragon Emperor's words, Bai Qi was finally moved. Looking at the Dragon Emperor's indifferent face, he sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty's indifference to life and death is truly admirable."

Bai Qi sat down beside the Dragon Emperor and said, "Now that Your Majesty has seen your own time of death, haven't you considered defying fate?"

"Defying fate? Of course I've thought about it, but you should know by now, right? In the face of the long river of time, these are all just jokes."

The Dragon Emperor smiled indifferently, while Bai Qi fell silent.

Indeed, judging from his current experience, defying fate is a joke, and his actions have only pushed history forward.

"Let's not talk about such heavy topics. My Zhulong tells me that it senses a shared aura on you. Could you summon your pet beast for me to see?"

The Dragon Emperor looked at Bai Qi, his eyes suddenly turning back to their normal black, and then a divine dragon with a completely red body appeared beside him.

It really is Zhulong!

Bai Qi understood immediately. The Dragon Emperor had foreseen everything through the Candle Dragon, and he guessed that this was how he had been exposed.

Delta, come out.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't stand on ceremony and summoned Delta directly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Upon seeing Delta appear, the Dragon Emperor exclaimed "Good!" three times, then laughed loudly, "A divine dragon possessing both time and space attributes—it's a pity you're not from this era, otherwise I would have insisted on handing over the Dragon Dynasty to you!"

"Your Majesty, please don't joke around."

Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, but his smile froze on his face after seeing the Dragon Emperor's expression.

This Dragon Emperor doesn't seem to be joking!

"I never joke."

The Dragon Emperor's expression turned serious, and he instantly became incredibly majestic. Bai Qi immediately felt a terrifying pressure descend upon him.

The Dragon Emperor is truly a demigod!

Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor quickly realized his lapse in composure and immediately composed himself, saying, "I apologize. I'm used to speaking like this, and I didn't control myself for a moment."

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect His Majesty to already be a demigod."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "So what if you're a demigod? You still can't change the course of fate."

After a pause, the Dragon Emperor said, "However, you are different from me. Your future is still full of infinite possibilities."

"I?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Zhulong suddenly disappear from his spot and appear directly in front of Delta.

Delta instinctively wanted to retaliate upon seeing this, but found himself completely unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as a pair of candle flames flew out of the Candle Dragon's eyes and merged into his own.

"Don't be nervous, Zhulong is just giving you a little help, it will be useful to you in the future."

Seeing Bai Qi's nervous expression, the Dragon Emperor smiled, a curse mark flashed between his brows, and the Candle Dragon disappeared from its spot. The Dragon Emperor's eyes also turned into a different color again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Bai Qi patted Delta on the shoulder, and after receiving positive feedback, asked again.

"Don't you understand? History won't change, but you will."

The Dragon Emperor looked at Bai Qi with a serious expression and said, "During your time travel, you and your pet beast are constantly growing stronger. As long as you continue to grow stronger, even beyond the control of time, you might be able to change history!"

"Beyond the control of time... is that really possible?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi fell silent, a glimmer of hope gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Of course not."

Bai Qi: "..."

Damn, he actually felt hopeful, but it turned out to be a lie.

He even deceived such an innocent young man. This old geezer is no good!
