174: Nobody wants it

The next day, Su Ze walked out of his room, rubbing his head, which throbbed from a hangover.

Right next door were the rooms of Feng Qingyi and Han Ba.

Indeed, because they were located near a pillar, as divine beasts, they leveled up faster in the outside world than inside the beast taming space.

Therefore, neither chose to enter the beast taming space; instead, they stayed in the same room, with Han Ba guiding Feng Qingyi's cultivation.

However, looking at the closed door and recalling the scenes he witnessed last night, Su Ze couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Su Ze began to consider where he should go first.

On one hand, he needed to help Holy Sun solve his problem, and on the other, he needed to consult Chen Xin about how to properly hatch a normal demon beast egg.

After some thought, he decided to find Holy Sun first, as a life was at stake.

He had asked Han Ba last night, but since she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wasn't sure if she could solve Jiang Yiyi's problem.

Just as he was about to head out with his two beasts, he happened to run into Xu Yao, who had come looking for him.

Thus, with three stunningly beautiful women following behind him, Su Ze drew many envious and jealous gazes along the way.

“Brother Su Ze, where are you going now?” Xu Yao asked, following behind him.

She didn't know Su Ze's purpose; she was simply afraid he would disappear again, so she had been clinging to him ever since he returned.

Su Ze didn't hide it and replied, “I'm going to find Holy Sun.”

“The Great Sage Holy Sun? But isn't he usually very mysterious and rarely shows his face? Do you know where he is?”

Su Ze shook his head and said, “I'm not sure, but someone knows.”

“Who?”

“Xiao Sheng.”

Xu Yao nodded. “If it's Lord Xiao Sheng, who is as famous as Lord Holy Sun, then there should be no problem.”

As for Xiao Sheng's location, it was quite simple. Perhaps to make up for his guilt toward Su Ze, he had specifically mentioned at yesterday's banquet that Su Ze could visit him anytime at the newly established Great Xia Spirit Guards branch in Beishan City.

The place where Su Ze was currently staying was staff housing, which happened to be not far from the branch office.

He soon found the newly constructed Spirit Guard branch.

“Even though it's a temporary structure, it looks quite grand.”

Although the entire structure was basically made of wood, one could tell without thinking that it wasn't just ordinary wood.

It was a high-grade building material, his old acquaintance, Ironwood.

Su Ze couldn't help but compare it with the headquarters of his Thirteenth Squad; also a temporary building, his was much more shabby by comparison.

He gave a somewhat sour snort and said, “What a waste of manpower and resources...”

He casually strode toward the main gate but was stopped by the guards before he could enter.

“Halt! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!”

Su Ze, prepared, took out his Great Xia Spirit Guards Detachment Commander badge. “I'm not unauthorized personnel. We are all comrades-in-arms, and they are my beasts.”

Su Ze pointed at the women behind him, naturally excluding Xu Yao.

The guard noticed this and pressed, “Then what about her?”

Regarding Xu Yao, Su Ze thought for a moment and said, “She is my family.”

Xu Yao's face flushed red upon hearing this.

But the two guards looked at the three beautiful and moving women behind Su Ze with expressions that said, 'You're calling them beasts? Do you think we're idiots?' and ignored him.

“You can enter, but they must stay outside.”

Seeing this, Su Ze lost his temper. “Brothers, I'd say you're a bit narrow-minded. Haven't you ever seen a beast take human form?”

They certainly knew that beasts could take human form, but those were exceptionally powerful demon beasts that had to be at least Level 90!

For a youth like Su Ze to suddenly appear before them and claim to have two such beasts, both transformed into beautiful women, was naturally hard to believe.

After all, not many people knew Su Ze's true strength. Even those who had seen Han Ba only took her for a healing-type beast and didn't even realize that Han Ba and Feng Qingyi were legendary divine beasts.

“You don't believe me? Then I'll have them reveal their true forms for you. But your houses are all made of wood; don't blame me if they get burned down!”

Just as Su Ze was about to have Feng Qingyi reveal her true form to intimidate them, he saw a young girl in a green dress come skipping out from inside.

A crisp voice spoke up, “Su Ze, you're here! My master sent me to meet you.”

The newcomer was none other than the human form of Xiao Sheng's beast, the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon.

If Su Ze wasn't mistaken, the two small dragon horns on her head seemed to have grown more than twice as large as before.

Seeing her appearance, the two guards immediately shrank their necks and stepped back.

Azure Cloud also noticed the tense atmosphere and asked, “What happened? Do you want me to help you teach them a lesson?”

Su Ze shook his head and said, “No need. Gentlemen, can I enter now?”

The two guards nodded frantically, and Su Ze led the women inside.

Waiting inside the gate, Azure Cloud looked at Han Ba and Feng Qingyi behind Su Ze, then shrank her neck and nodded, saying, “True, you don't need my help anymore.”

The pressure from their bloodlines allowed her to confirm their identities instantly.

While Feng Qingyi might still be a match for her since she hadn't reached Level 100 yet...

The feeling Han Ba gave Azure Cloud was as vast as the mountains and the sea.

“So terrifying, even more terrifying than that big stick the monkey turned into...” Azure Cloud stuck out her tongue and whispered.

The monkey she referred to was naturally Holy Sun's beast... Soon, Azure Cloud brought Su Ze before Xiao Sheng, with the floating Lin Xi by his side.

Xu Yao was also taken aback; it was her first time seeing Lin Xi in this state.

Seeing her, Lin Xi floated over and said, “Little girl, I heard you performed heroically on the battlefield with your mental attacks; you have the style I had in my youth.”

“How about it? Interested in contracting me as your beast? I'm only stronger, not weaker, than a Merman Lord.”

“No, we're not!” Upon hearing this, Su Ze immediately pulled Xu Yao behind him and refused sternly.

No joke, although Lin Xi could be considered a demon beast now, he still had a human soul and memories.

Who would want a dirty old man following their woman around at all times!

Xu Yao seemed to think Su Ze's words were a bit harsh and politely added, “Teacher Lin Xi, I don't know why you've become like this, but you are Brother Su Ze's teacher, so it would be inappropriate for me to contract you as a beast.”

Lin Xi floated to the side with a mournful face. “I'm not weak, you know. Why does nobody want me...”

Whether it was Su Ze, Xu Yao, or Xiao Sheng whom he had tried to persuade last night, they had all rejected him.

Meanwhile, Azure Cloud skipped over to Xiao Sheng's ear and whispered a few words. After listening, Xiao Sheng took another look at Han Ba and Feng Qingyi behind Su Ze.

He had barely slept last night, having learned from Lin Xi about the series of events that had occurred on Fusang Island.

Su Ze ignored the emo Lin Xi and went straight to Xiao Sheng's side, asking point-blank, “Senior Brother Xiao Sheng, do you know where Holy Sun is now?”
