665: Chapter 665 Ten Thousand Beast God Mountain

"Done running?"

Gu Changge looked at the trembling tiger in his hand and asked with a faint, mocking smile.

"That..."

The Golden Fiend Tiger King swallowed hard. The fury on its face instantly switched to an extremely fawning smile, and its voice became sickeningly sweet, completely devoid of its previous dominance.

"Great Lord! It's a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding!"

"This King wasn't running just now, I was... I was going to find some seasoning for you!"

"Look, doesn't the wound on my butt look particularly appetizing? This proves that This King's meat is firm! It's all essence!"

Gu Changge was completely speechless.

Holding this spineless Tiger King, he suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"Forget it."

Gu Changge shook his head and flicked his finger lightly, stopping the Tiger King's bleeding.

"Seeing as you're so sensible, I'll change tonight's main course."

"Change... change the main course?"

Pinched by the scruff of its neck by Gu Changge, the massive tiger body first stiffened. Then, those dark gold vertical pupils, originally filled with fawning and fear, shifted extremely quickly and imperceptibly.

I'm alive! This King is alive again! I don't have to be a side dish for wine anymore!

Wild joy erupted in its heart like magma, but it suppressed it firmly. The massive tiger face forced out an even more grateful expression, looking as if it were ready to sacrifice everything.

"Senior is merciful! Senior is magnanimous! This Junior is willing to serve Senior like a horse or a dog! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

It spoke extremely fast, as if fearing Gu Changge would go back on his word.

Gu Changge remained noncommittal and simply released his fingers.

The Golden Fiend Tiger King landed on the ground with a thud. It didn't dare grow larger, remaining in its shrunk form, crouching submissively at Gu Changge's feet.

Its large tail swept the ground cautiously, with a hint of pleasing intent.

"Oh? Serve me?"

Gu Changge slowly finished wiping his hands and put away his handkerchief, his tone flat.

"What service can you provide? For serving tea and water, I find your claws too sharp. For guarding the house, you seem..."

He glanced meaningfully at the Tiger King, not saying the words "too cowardly," but the meaning was self-evident.

"Senior is joking. This Junior's meager skills naturally cannot enter Senior's Dharma Eye."

Its voice lowered, carrying a tone as if sharing a secret.

"However, Senior seemed to be looking for top-tier ingredients just now?"

It carefully observed Gu Changge's expression. Seeing him unmoved, it continued its "heart-to-heart."

"To be honest with Senior, although this is the heart of the Yao Race territory, the truly top-tier goods are not free-roaming in these wild mountains."

Gu Changge seemed to have a bit of interest and nodded slightly: "Go on."

The Golden Fiend Tiger King's spirits rose. A flash of pride crossed its dark gold pupils, but it was quickly covered by a deeper "sincerity."

"Three million miles to the east, there is a place called 'Myriad Beast Divine Mountain'! That is one of the seven top powers of my Yao Race, ruling over hundreds of millions of beasts and birds!"

"The Yao Beasts there are the true treasures!"

"There are Dragon-Elephants that have Cultivated for a million years, with blood Qi like an ancient furnace!"

"There is the Sky-Splitting Kui Ox that controls thunder and shakes the heavens with a single leg; its horn marrow is a supreme Saint Grade for tempering the Primordial Spirit!"

"There is also the heart's blood of the Eight Desolations War Bear, the newborn jade horn of the Nine-Colored Profound Deer..."

It listed them like precious treasures, its voice full of temptation, like the most skilled salesman.

"With Senior's heaven-reaching methods, going there... wouldn't it be like entering your own backyard vegetable garden?"

"Whatever you want to eat, just take it! Wouldn't it be delightful to enjoy such delicacies freely?"

After it finished speaking, it held its breath, its heart pounding in its chest, waiting for Gu Changge's reaction.

However, deep in its eyes, a very subtle and cunning calculation flashed by!

Myriad Beast Divine Mountain, those bastards!

Usually seizing territory, stealing Opportunities, and suppressing their own kind—it had remembered this grudge for tens of thousands of years!

It just couldn't win, so it had endured until now!

By directing this terrifying existence's attention to its enemies, no matter the outcome, Myriad Beast Divine Mountain would surely be unlucky, and its great grudge would be avenged.

When the two sides clashed, it would surely be world-shaking. This "small fry" would then have a great chance to escape amidst the shocking chaos!

It had even begun to rehearse the escape route in its heart.

Gu Changge listened quietly. Not until the Tiger King finished did he slowly lift his eyelids, his calm gaze falling on the Golden Fiend Tiger King's face, which was filled with "sincere suggestions" and "humble fawning."

That gaze seemed to penetrate its fur, reaching straight into the churning little schemes deep in its Soul.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

The Golden Fiend Tiger King felt as if it had been stripped bare and thrown into the ice and snow; all its calculations had nowhere to hide.

Just as it was about to buckle under this silent pressure and the tip of its tail began to tremble—

Gu Changge suddenly smiled.

The smile was very shallow, yet it made the Golden Fiend Tiger King feel an inexplicable heart tremor.

"Myriad Beast Divine Mountain. It sounds like a place with abundant ingredients indeed."

Gu Changge nodded and spoke casually: "You..."

He looked at the Tiger King, who instantly perked up its ears.

"Lead the way."

As Gu Changge's words fell, his calm gaze lingered for a moment on the Golden Fiend Tiger King's face, which had just relaxed with a hint of survival and secret delight.

Just as the Golden Fiend Tiger King thought the crisis had completely passed and even began to plot how to "guide" this big shot to cause a scene at Myriad Beast Divine Mountain.

Squelch!

Another familiar and terrifying soft sound, exactly like the feeling under its ribs earlier, but this time, it was on its butt.

A familiar cold, stinging pain came again!

"Awoooo—!!!"

The Golden Fiend Tiger King shuddered all over and spun its head around. On its thick tiger rump, which had been wagging slightly to fawn earlier, another palm-sized, glossy piece of meat was missing!

And that piece of meat was currently being held by a gentle burst of Qi, flying toward Gu Changge's palm again.

"Senior! You... you are...?!"

The Golden Fiend Tiger King was completely dazed, its massive tiger face filled with confusion, grievance, and disbelief.

Didn't you say the main course was changed just now? How can there be a temporary extra snack?!

It subconsciously used its paw to cover the wound that kept sending waves of coldness, its dark gold pupils reflecting Gu Changge's still-calm face.

For the first time, it felt an incomprehensible, deep confusion regarding the behavior of this terrifying existence.

Gu Changge took the piece of tiger meat that still held body warmth. His fingertips moved casually, the Pure Fire rose again, and he skillfully began to roast it.

He glanced at the Tiger King, who was clutching its butt with an expression of extreme grievance, and spoke flatly, as if explaining a trivial matter.

"Sorry, that piece of meat just now tasted quite good, and I haven't had enough."

He paused, flipped the meat skewer, and the grease dripped onto the Pure Fire, making a pleasant sizzling sound as the aroma spread again.

Then, he looked up, a very faint but bone-chilling coldness flashing through his eyes that made the Tiger King's Soul freeze.

"By the way, consider this a small punishment for your clever little schemes!"

The Golden Fiend Tiger King's face turned deathly pale instantly, as if struck by lightning!

The plot it thought was perfectly hidden had actually been seen through at a glance and spoken so bluntly!

All its hopes for luck were completely shattered at this moment, leaving only boundless chill and lingering fear. It no longer dared to have any other thoughts.

"Senior is wise! This Junior was obsessed and didn't know the height of the heavens! I definitely won't dare to do it again!"

"This Junior will honestly lead the way. If Senior points east, This Junior will never dare go west! Whatever Senior wants to eat, This Junior will lead the way to catch it!"

Its voice was slightly out of tune due to fear, but its attitude was more upright than ever before.

This time, it was truly cowed.

Gu Changge looked at its completely honest appearance and then nodded slightly, putting the second piece of roasted tiger meat into his mouth to savor it.

"Hmm, this piece is roasted just right, and the meat is firmer. Do you want a taste?"
