Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 244 Li Mu poked his eye (6835 words)

The winter sun is pale and desolate.

Li Xinghai sat at a roadside stall table, looking at the bowl of beef noodles that was now just soup, and almost burst into tears.

Born and raised in Shanghai, he had always lived a life of luxury and never imagined that one day he would be eating beef noodles at a roadside stall...

What he found hardest to accept was that the beef noodles at this roadside stall were surprisingly delicious!

He wished he could have another bowl...

But no.

I've lost all my money.

Chen Fan's battle with Zong Hao left him penniless in an instant.

He's being bombarded with debt collection calls, and he feels like he's going crazy.

If all else fails, go back to your family and get money?

But the atmosphere at home is also very strange now... Ever since the eldest brother Li Xinghe died inexplicably in the Flashing Swamp, everyone in the family seems to be shrouded in a bad luck.

Li Xinghai sighed.

He looked at the stall owner and said quietly, "Life is never smooth sailing. Poverty, illness, responsibility, and endless pressure will always accompany you. No one can escape them. People will always encounter various setbacks. Difficulties and setbacks are only temporary..."

The noodle stall owner glanced at Li Xinghai and said indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense, a bowl of beef noodles is only thirty yuan, pay up!"

Li Xinghai stood up and silently paid the payment.

Only thirty yuan...

But he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

because……

After paying the thirty yuan, he only had three yuan left in his account.

There's no other way...

Let's go out of the city and kill some monsters.

They went there in armored vehicles.

He had no choice but to run all the way there.

Suddenly, Li Xinghai saw a "GG" sign across the street, with the words "GG" written in bright, eye-catching letters...

When you are short of money:

Anyone who can come up with 1 is a friend;

Those who can come up with 5 are relatives;

Those who can come up with 50 are brothers and sisters;

The parents are the ones who can come up with 500 million!

But the only one who can come up with 1000 million, 1 million, or even 5 million is me!

Damn... This is the most touching usurious loan shark I've ever seen...

Li Xinghai spat.

Some of the money he borrowed before was from loan sharks.

You can't borrow money from loan sharks and then use it to pay them back.

Ugh, I'm in a bad mood, even the air smells awful...

Just then, an elderly sanitation worker came over with a broom and shovel and said, "Young man, move aside, you stepped in dog poop."

Li Xinghai looked down and froze.

He suppressed his anger, his despair and rage, and said, "Sir, this shouldn't be dog poop. Look at the shape, the amount of excrement, and the stench. This should be a rather large carnivorous beast..."

The old man gave Li Xinghai a strange look, shook his head, and walked away.

Li Xinghai lifted his foot and looked at it: "Did I say something wrong? This is definitely not dog poop. Dog poop isn't this big or smelly!"

Sudden……

Li Xinghai raised his head.

What am I doing?

What the hell am I doing?

I've already had such bad luck, I've even stepped in poop, and I'm still wondering if it's dog poop or not?

Li Xinghai tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle.

I heard that from this angle, tears won't fall.

Li Xinghai turned his head and looked around. There was a public toilet not far away.

He sighed, wiped his shoes on the grass, and walked towards the public restroom to wash them.

As soon as he reached the public restroom, Li Xinghai suddenly felt unwell in his stomach.

Never mind, I'll go to the toilet after I wash my shoes.

asshole……

This makeshift public toilet only has one stall, and it's incredibly filthy!

do not care……

Li Xinghai went inside and slammed the door shut.

But just as I squatted down, someone knocked on the door.

"Someone's there!"

Li Xinghai shouted angrily.

Then I heard a young mother say to her baby, "Baby, please bear with it a little longer, there are people inside!"

Li Xinghai: "..."

Then the mother said, "Baby, come on, let's cheer for the uncle!"

The baby's innocent voice and the young mother's voice rang out at the same time...

"Uncle, keep it up!"

"Uncle, keep it up!"

Li Xinghai was petrified.

How am I supposed to do this?!

After a while, Li Xinghai walked out of the public restroom with a dark expression.

Standing on the side of the road, Li Xinghai felt a little lost.

where am i from?

Where am I going?

A luxury car drove up, slowed down a bit, and passed by him.

In the car, Feng Tianlin waved his hand: "Li Xinghai? What are you doing standing there like an idiot on the side of the road? Preparing to sell yourself to pay off your debts?"

Li Xinghai was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he looked down, picked up a rock, and threw it at the luxury car that had already driven away: "Damn you!"

Stone couldn't catch up with Feng Tianlin's car.

"That bastard Feng Tianlin, we'll teach him a lesson sooner or later!" Li Xinghai said with a gloomy face as he walked in the direction Feng Tianlin had left.

The First Military Medical University is also in that direction.

With nowhere else to go, Li Xinghai had no choice but to return to his school first, and then prepare to find a few people to form a team to go to the secret realm.

I had just arrived at the entrance of the First Military Medical University...

A large crowd had gathered at the school gate.

Li Xinghai walked over and saw Feng Tianlin's luxury car parked on the side, with flowers scattered all over the ground.

Feng Tianlin held a bouquet of flowers in both hands, knelt on one knee, and looked at a girl.

Li Xinghai was taken aback.

That girl is Xia Yimo from their class!

When he first entered the First Martial Arts University, he saw Xia Yimo and began to pursue her relentlessly.

But Xia Yimo didn't even look at him...

That brat Feng Tianlin actually dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?!

Li Xinghai wanted to go up and make a sarcastic remark, but then he remembered Xia Yimo's temper and stopped.

Xia Yimo comes from the capital city, and her family is not much worse than the Li family in Shanghai. She has very high standards, so how could she possibly look down on Feng Tianlin?

really……

Xia Yimo glanced at Feng Tianlin with a half-smile and said, "You want me to be your girlfriend? Give me a reason that will make my heart flutter."

Li Xinghai's lips curled slightly as he glanced at Feng Tianlin's car.

This kind of luxury car can be used to fool girls from "outside the area".

But for someone like Xia Yimo from a poor family, even if you gave her ten or eight cars, it wouldn't make a difference.

Then Feng Tianlin stood up and leaned close to Xia Yimo's ear.

Li Xinghai immediately stepped forward and pricked up his ears.

Feng Tianlin's voice was very soft...

But Li Xinghai, being at the third rank, heard it clearly.

Feng Tianlin said, "Senior, I know the real owner of Shop No. 9. We're very close; we're like brothers..."

Li Xinghai: "..."

A glint flashed in Xia Yimo's eyes.

Feng Tianlin lowered his voice even further and said, "When I first entered the First Martial Arts University, my beasts were only level 9."

"But now..."

"My tamed beasts are already level 11, and their racial rank is already that of a low-level lord!"

Xia Yimo's eyes widened, her beautiful eyes blinking.

Feng Tianlin is not a freshman yet; he is a student who was admitted through the special training program.

He had only been at the First Martial Arts University for a little over a month for special training!

Xia Yimo accepted the flowers and took Feng Tianlin's hand: "Take me to meet your friend... If what you said is true, I can agree to be your girlfriend."

"If you're lying to me..."

Feng Tianlin smiled slightly and very elegantly opened the car door for Xia Yimo.

Li Xinghai stared in disbelief amidst the crowd.

Is this how you pick up girls?

So you got soaked already?

Does Feng Tianlin know the owner of Shop No. 9?

Or brothers?

This is impossible!

Shop number nine was opened by Master Zhang Hai. Did Feng Tianlin and Master Zhang Hai become sworn brothers?

it's over...

Feng Tianlin, you little brat, you've messed with Xia Yimo, you're dead meat!

Li Xinghai laughed as he watched Feng Tianlin's car drive away.

……

Shanghai's pet market.

This is the largest pet market in the Tang Dynasty.

Here, there are countless kinds of tamed beasts.

From young beast tamers to high-level adult beast tamers.

As long as you have money, you can buy a satisfactory tamed beast.

Of course, whether or not a contract can be successfully signed after the purchase is the buyer's own business, and the pet market will not be responsible for it.

However, all the beasts in the pet market, whether they are cubs or adults, have been raised and trained for a long time, and most of their ferocity has been worn away.

As long as the beast tamer's own conditions permit, the success rate of buying such a beast and signing a contract is very high.

Chen Fan and Chu Xuan got an armored vehicle from Shop No. 9 and headed straight for the Shanghai Pet Market.

Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang did not come along.

These two youngest grandmasters in the Tang Kingdom have made rapid progress in their cultivation after following the cripple and his companions. Now they even eat with the cripple and his companions, unwilling to waste a single moment.

Besides, Li Mu and Han Jiangxue had already arranged their beast taming, so they didn't need to worry about it at all.

……

In the car.

Chu Xuan and Fang Qingqing were both sitting cross-legged, engaged in cultivation.

Of this group of people, the two of them were the most hardworking.

Shen Hongxiu and Bai Rugo looked tired, each resting their heads on Chen Fan's shoulders, fast asleep.

Ye Hao was browsing pictures of beautiful women online.

Gangzi lay on his lap, looking puzzled.

It clearly couldn't understand why Ye Hao liked looking at these scantily clad women.

Can't you just show me some videos of honey badgers?

Since being harassed by his friend's ex-girlfriend, Shen Daodao has become much more taciturn, always showing an expression that says, "What a fine day!"

The jade flew around in front of Shen Daodao without attracting his attention.

Chen Fan was holding Xiaobai and gently stroking its head.

The little black cat perched on his shoulder suddenly nudged his ear with its wing: "Master, look at Li Fengxing..."

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at Li Fengxing.

Fengxing seems to have started dating recently and has a girlfriend. He's currently chatting with her on WeChat.

The girl was also a recommended student from the First Martial Arts University. She was a local from Shanghai, quite pretty, and came from a good family... This was all told to Chen Fan by Feng Tianlin.

Chen Fan peeked out and saw the contents of Li Fengxing's chat window...

"Since this is your first time visiting my home, let me teach you some manners."

"Buy my dad five wood-attribute monster cores, level 28 or higher; a box of green wood spirit fruits, aged 30 years or more; and buy my mom a piece of water spirit jade, the water spirit jade emits water spirit energy that can beautify and nourish the skin."

"You have four maternal uncles, three aunts, one paternal uncle, two maternal uncles, and three paternal aunts. Each of them has a monster core of level 25 or higher. Remember the attributes of these cores..."

"Four metal-attribute, three earth-attribute, six water-attribute... Remember, these are monsters at least level 25 or higher. If you bring monsters below level 25, they won't want them."

"In addition, my family and relatives have a lot of children, more than a dozen, and each child needs to receive a red envelope of 20 yuan."

"I'll tell you the rest when I remember them."

Li Fengxing remained silent.

He doesn't lack that little bit of money.

Let's not talk about the money we made back in Donghai City.

During this period, the demon crystal cores he obtained in the Ancient God Realm and the Angel God King Realm were worth at least several billion.

What's a little money?

but……

Although he was rather oblivious, he still sensed that something was amiss.

Seeing Li Fengxing lost in thought, Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Send her a message..."

Li Fengxing's eyes lit up with joy: "Brother Fan, how should I answer him?"

"Send this sentence to her..." Chen Fan said, "You fucking came to buy goods from me?"

"Then, block them."

Li Fengxing was stunned for a moment.

Shen Hongxiu and Bai Rugo were awakened.

The two men leaned closer to take a look, and their eyes blazed with anger.

Shen Hongxiu slapped Li Fengxing on the back of the head: "Xiao Fan told you to send it, so you sent it! He told you to block him, so you blocked him! What are you hesitating for?"

"Why keep this kind of woman around if you're not going to block her?"

Bai Rugo shook her head repeatedly: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless... You've been bullied like this, and you didn't even try to fight back?"

Of this group, Li Fengxing was the most clueless.

Although Shen Daodao was also a bit stunned, compared to Li Fengxing, he knew how to be cunning and sly, unlike Li Fengxing who was a complete idiot.

Bai Rugo never expected that Li Fengxing, who could kill a level 20 demon all by himself in the Angel God King Realm, would be bullied like this by a woman...

If it were Ye Hao, he would probably have already unleashed a torrent of profanities.

Seeing that Li Fengxing was still in a daze, Chen Fan sighed: "When it comes to matters of the heart, it's not really appropriate for others to interfere, but we really can't just leave you out like this..."

"Send it, then block me."

"This kind of woman doesn't deserve you."

Li Fengxing nodded, took a deep breath, and sent Chen Fan's message: "You fucking came to buy goods from me?"

He hadn't had a chance to block him yet.

The other party sent a long voice message.

Just as Li Fengxing was about to turn on the voice chat, Chen Fan stopped him.

Chen Fan said, "Reply to her with a text message. I won't open any voice messages."

"After you've sent it, just block them."

Li Fengxing did as instructed.

"Hahahaha!" Shen Hongxiu and Bai Rugo burst into laughter like two laughing aunties.

On the other side, Fang Qingqing, who had been cultivating, also opened her eyes and smiled.

She had witnessed what just happened.

After a while of commotion, the group of people...

Chen Fan checked the navigation.

It will probably take another ten minutes or so to reach the Shanghai Pet Market.

"How about we try 'Whispers of the Demon King' here?"

Chen Fan glanced at Ye Hao and the others, closed his eyes, and activated "Whispers of the Demon King".

next moment……

A vivid and clear image immediately appeared in his mind.

Aside from the colors not being as vibrant as in reality, Ye Hao, Shen Hongxiu, and the others inside the car were all clearly visible.

Almost at the same time...

Shen Hongxiu, Bai Rugo, Li Fengxing, Fang Qingqing, and Uncle Qian who was driving all shuddered at the same time!

Xiao Bai and Gang Zi also had their hair standing on end!

Emerald scurried up and jumped directly onto Chen Fan's head, hugging it tightly.

Ye Hao was taken aback and looked up: "What's wrong with you guys? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Shen Hongxiu felt a chill run down her spine, moved closer to Chen Fan, and took his hand, saying, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel cold all over, as if something is watching me!"

Bai Rugo, on the other side, also took Chen Fan's other hand and said, "It's not something, it looks like... a demon!"

Fang Qingqing was shocked and said, "This is so strange... It feels like I was suddenly pulled into another world by a force!"

Ye Hao was stunned: "We've been transported to another world? What world? I don't feel anything at all!"

Uncle Qian, who was driving, slowed down and said, "Young Master Fan, something seems... a bit off!"

Fang Qingqing said, "It's somewhat... somewhat similar to the Ancient God Realm, but not quite the same."

Everyone looked out the car window...

Everything is normal in the outside world.

Here, still in Shanghai, cars come and go.

But Fang Qingqing, Shen Hongxiu, and the others, including Uncle Qian who was already at the sixth rank, all felt their skin crawl!

They couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.

Ye Hao and Chu Xuan exchanged a glance, but both shook their heads.

Shen Daodao also said, "Why don't I feel that way?"

Li Fengxing moved closer to Shen Daodao and took her hand.

Shen Daodao turned her head and glanced at Li Fengxing: "..."

Chen Fan's expression shifted slightly.

He could "see" that Chu Xuan, Ye Hao, and Shen Daodao were all enveloped by a strange power.

The power of the "Whispers of the Demon King" could not penetrate it.

That must be the sacrificial stele to heaven, the pillar reaching to the sky, and the power of the twelve wings of the God King...

To break through this penetrating force, Chen Fan felt that his mental strength would probably need to be increased several times over.

"Who wants their heart to be forever empty..."

In his heart, Chen Fan sang a song: "I'm willing to only adorn your dreams."

"I'd rather my heart aches for a long time than let you soothe it..."

The Demon King's whisper seemed to echo in the hearts of Shen Hongxiu and the others.

The sound was faint, almost imperceptible.

It seemed to come from the distant horizon.

It was like a whisper in my ear...

Bai Rugo's face showed sorrow: "Who is it...?"

Ye Hao leaned closer, squinting, and said, "Are you knocking on my window?"

Bai Rugo seemed not to hear Ye Hao's voice, her eyes filled with confusion: "Who... is singing...?"

Ye Hao: "Warmed the loneliness?"

Shen Daodao continued, "White clouds drift lazily, the blue sky remains, but tears are still floating?"

Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing's eyes also became unfocused.

Seeing this, Chen Fan quickly withdrew the red thread released by the Demon King.

Although Shen Hongxiu and the others have made rapid progress in their strength recently, they are still only at the fourth rank.

Chen Fan's current mental power, activating the "Whisper of the Demon King," is enough to suppress a peak seventh-grade expert!

After he withdrew the red thread, Shen Hongxiu and the others' eyes began to clear again, revealing fear.

Chu Xuan glanced at Chen Fan, couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It's Chen Fan who's behind this."

"..." Everyone was stunned.

Chen Fan didn't open his eyes, but simply said, "Don't slander me!"

Chu Xuan said, "When Hongxiu and the others said something was wrong, you didn't react at all, you didn't even open your eyes."

"Ru Ge's eyes were glazed over. When she said someone was singing, you still didn't open your eyes, and a smile remained on your lips."

Chen Fan withdrew "Whispers of the Demon King" and opened his eyes: "..."

Shen Hongxiu raised an eyebrow and twisted Chen Fan's arm hard with her finger: "You scared us to death!"

Bai Rugo also glared at Chen Fan in a huff.

Uncle Qian glanced at Chen Fan through the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.

Although it is unknown what kind of cultivation technique Chen Fan is practicing, the fact that it can so easily affect him, who is at the sixth rank, shows how powerful that technique is!

Fan Shao is really getting stronger and stronger...

Back when I was at the Beast Tamer Association in Donghai City, I was only a second-grade cultivator.

Unexpectedly, several months have passed...

Ye Hao, holding Gangzi, approached Chen Fan and asked, "Brother Fan, were you trying out some kind of demonic art just now? Gangzi, Xiaobai, and Hongxiu all looked really strange."

"Teach us! We're already at the fourth rank, and we can all cultivate various martial arts techniques."

Chen Fan pouted: "It's not that I'm unwilling to teach, it's just that I really can't."

"I had previously cultivated a body-refining divine technique, and I wanted to write it down and teach it to you. However, after writing just one or two strokes of the first character, the pen and paper could not withstand it and turned into ashes."

"Unless I become stronger and can suppress this power, it will be possible for me to pass it on to you."

Everyone present stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Uncle Qian's eyes were also full of hope.

Suddenly, Bai Rugo said, "Why didn't Haozi and the others feel that way just now?"

Shen Hongxiu realized what was happening: "Could it be because of what they have on them..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but in her eyes, Fang Qingqing, Bai Rugo, and Li Fengxing, all showed expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Ye Hao laughed loudly, but before he could speak, Chen Fan glared at him and shut him up.

"Alright, stop bothering me, I need to practice more."

As Chen Fan spoke, he closed his eyes again and activated "Whispers of the Demon King".

"It's starting again..."

Shen Hongxiu and the others were somewhat helpless.

This feeling is quite different from the feeling in the ancient god realms.

But it's just as scary.

Fortunately, after learning that Chen Fan was behind it, most of the fear in Shen Hongxiu and Fang Qingqing's hearts dissipated.

……

"That's strange..."

After Chen Fan activated "Whispers of the Demon King," the area covered in his mind grew larger and larger with a thought.

That's what's so strange...

His mental strength was insufficient to cover such a large area!

But after activating "Whispers of the Demon King", the area covered in my mind continued to grow larger and larger, and even after exceeding the limit of my mental power, it continued to expand outward!

Chen Fan stood in the void like a demon king who could pierce the sky and trample the earth, looking down at the Demon City below.

In Shanghai, there are figures exuding an imposing aura.

Perhaps it's the seventh rank, perhaps the eighth rank, perhaps even stronger...

Chen Fan didn't dare to touch those powerful beings, and deliberately avoided them.

Even so, in the Demon City, powerful figures sensed something was wrong and subconsciously released even stronger auras, soaring into the sky!

The area covered by the "Whispers of the Demon King" seemed to have been dragged into the underworld, just as Shen Hongxiu and the others had said...

Many people felt an overwhelming sense of fear and despair!

One after another, figures soared into the sky, looking around!

The Shanghai City Lord's Mansion, like a sophisticated machine, began to operate rapidly.

One after another, powerful figures flew out of the city lord's mansion and flew off to various places.

Chen Fan, the instigator, watched this scene with a mix of unease and a sense of elation, continuing to urge the "Whispers of the Demon King" to expand.

what……

Just as the expansion was underway, Chen Fan spotted a familiar figure from the window of a building in the Shanghai City Lord's Mansion.

Li Mu...

Li Mu was sitting in a chair with his feet on the table, flipping through a thick book.

actually……

Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted, and secretly "looked" at Li Mu.

Just then, without looking up, Li Mu raised his right hand and gently poked...

"what!"

Chen Fan screamed in agony, "My eyes, my pay-to-win eyes... my pay-to-win eyes are blind!"

Uncle Qian, who was driving, was startled and slammed on the brakes, stopping the car on the side of the road.

The people on the bus were also shocked.

This is the first time everyone has heard Chen Fan scream like that in all the time they've known him!

"Ouch! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Chen Fan rubbed his eyes vigorously.

When he released his grip and raised his head, everyone was astonished!

Chen Fan's eyes were red and swollen, as if they had been sprayed with pepper spray!

Moreover, snot and tears were flowing at the same time!

Chu Xuan frowned: "What exactly did you do?"

Ye Hao: "Brother Fan, who did this?"

Chen Fan glared hatefully in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Minister...Minister Li did this!"

Ye Hao was stunned: "Brother Fan, you just went to spy on Minister Li? Just how powerful are your mental abilities now?"

Chen Fan wiped away his tears: "I didn't do anything! I just saw him reading a book, and I glanced at him... He's not a woman, what's wrong with glancing at him?"

"Uncle Qian, keep driving, we're almost at the pet market."

"It hurts so much..."

"I've shed more tears in my entire life than I have today."
