245: Dare to dream of my pet

A sinister, cold laugh rang out as Jiang Mengfei revealed his figure within the secret spatial realm.

"It is not that Prince Duan insists on getting rid of a useless person like you!

It is that I want to avenge my sworn brother and sworn sister!

He only wanted me to find an opportunity during this hunt to scare His Majesty the King, so that he would quickly establish his will.

I never expected to catch you!

Having lost your companion beast, yet still daring to wander around alone—this is truly an unexpected harvest!"

Greed flashed in Jiang Mengfei's eyes, and even the scar on his face twisted slightly.

He summoned his Fiery White Falcon. With just this one pet beast, he seemed to have absolute confidence in killing Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiaoyue summoned Xiao Qi and Xiao Lv, but she herself collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

"Don't think that just because my lifespan is nearing its end, you can look down on my abilities!

A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if my Mental Power isn't enough to summon all my pet beasts right now, these two are enough to put up a desperate fight against you!

At worst, I will perish together with you as the price for your underestimation of me!"

After saying this, she coughed a few times weakly, her breathing becoming slightly rapid.

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoyue's command, Xiao Lv raised its hand and whipped out several vines, which the Fiery White Falcon dodged.

Xiao Qi held the Po Di Zi Jin Spear, with lightning gathering at the tip, emitting a crackling sound.

Seeing this, Jiang Mengfei summoned his own Duan Yue Green Turtle and Yacha Shadow Leopard.

"Thanks for the reminder, how could I give you the chance to perish with me!"

The purpose of Jiang Mengfei's trip today was to kill Gu Xiaoyue.

He called it avenging Ding Fang and Zhou Qi, but in reality, he was gambling—that Gu Xiaoyue still possessed many high-tier pet beasts and rare treasures.

Only by killing her could he take those pet beasts and rare treasures for himself!

Seeing Jiang Mengfei summon all his commonly used battle pets, Gu Xiaoyue finally stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off her clothes.

"If I didn't remind you to summon more pet beasts, how would I absorb their experience?"

Before her words had faded, Yinglong, Xiao Mo, and Bi Fang had already been summoned.

Gu Xiaoyue smiled gently and kindly, though her expression was somewhat helpless.

"Experience delivered to my door; this time, I absolutely won't let you get away!"

She crossed her arms over her chest, took a chair out of her Yu Beast Space to sit on, and commanded her pet beasts with her mind.

Yinglong turned and leaped lightly, as if dancing in the air, and a light rain began to fall.

Gu Xiaoyue was in no rush to attack, instead letting her pet beast slowly rain down in the secret realm.

This maneuver left Jiang Mengfei stunned for a moment, not knowing what she intended to do.

Xiao Lv whipped out a dozen more vines, and this time, it was very precise; none of Jiang Mengfei's three pet beasts managed to dodge in time.

Both he and his pet beasts were bound tightly, unable to move.

Gu Xiaoyue and Xiao Mo exchanged a smile and began to absorb the level experience of these three pet beasts.

Xiao Mo's Yuan Absorption skill had already been upgraded to perfection, and the distance conversion within the secret spatial realm was different from the outside world.

Even if the distance was slightly further, it was still within the range of the Yuan Absorption skill.

Gu Xiaoyue filled her experience bar and then fed the experience to Bi Fang.

In order, it should have been fed to Xiao Hei, but Bi Fang seemed to have been throwing a tantrum.

Gu Xiaoyue just wanted to raise it to the sixth stage of maturity, feed it a hua yu fruit, and communicate properly about what exactly it was dissatisfied with.

Jiang Mengfei was bound, and his pet beasts were having their level experience absorbed.

And Gu Xiaoyue was sitting there, calmly casting her skills, and he seemed to just realize what was happening.

"Gu Li, you tricked me?"

"I just said it, and you only just realized? Your reaction time is really long!"

She smiled until her eyes crinkled into crescents, and thinking that she would soon take Jiang Mengfei's pet beasts, she felt even happier.

Jiang Mengfei had just assumed she was bragging, but until he and his pet beasts were bound, and the wails of his pet beasts confirmed it, he realized he had fallen into Gu Xiaoyue's conspiracy!

"Could it be—you were faking it from the beginning? Even the companion beast with Water Therapy that you gave to His Majesty was a fake?"

"Otherwise what? Never mind the King of Damon Country, even the Chief Beastmaster of Mercury couldn't force me to hand over my pet beasts unless they took my life first!"

Like Yang Jiarong, Jiang Mengfei never imagined that Gu Xiaoyue would deceive their King.

Challenging the pinnacle of power was perhaps something they wouldn't even dare to imagine!

She didn't hand over the pet beast with Water Therapy, but handed over another one?

One had to know that Water Therapy was a top-tier skill, something rare and difficult to find; just how many high-tier pet beasts and rare treasures did she actually have?

Jiang Mengfei was still in shock, but since the filthy things Bai Yu Kang had done were mentioned, Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but be angry.

She stood up, walked to Jiang Mengfei's side, and stepped on his chest.

"You are the same, aren't you? Prince Duan didn't want to continue making things difficult for a useless Beastmaster who had lost her companion beast. But because you coveted my pet beasts, you insisted on killing me, right?"

Jiang Mengfei subconsciously shook his head, but Gu Xiaoyue applied slight pressure with her foot, and he heard the sound of his ribs breaking.

"Anyone who targets my pet beasts, all of them—"

She applied two more parts of force, and several more of Jiang Mengfei's ribs broke.

Gu Xiaoyue didn't need to finish her sentence; a look of terror had already appeared in Jiang Mengfei's eyes.

She had said she wouldn't let him off, but at first, he thought it was just a little girl bragging because her death was imminent.

Now it seemed that this "Mr. Gu" was truly a female Rakshasa!

"Don't kill me, I beg you! My wife and children are in Prince Duan's hands; I had no choice, I really had no choice!"

Jiang Mengfei considered himself not a coward, but when death was imminent, pleas for mercy tumbled out of his mouth without hesitation.

"Had no choice? Prince Duan didn't want to bother with me, you said that yourself! Now you're shifting the blame onto him?"

Gu Xiaoyue kicked him hard in the waist, likely causing internal injuries to his organs.

"If you had said your wife and children were being held hostage the first time we met, I might have actually helped you save them. But you shouldn't have, you absolutely shouldn't have, targeted my pet beasts!"

She was not speaking empty words; after all, she was alone in Damon Country.

If Jiang Mengfei had offered an olive branch from the beginning, using information about Prince Duan as an exchange, she might not have been unable to help.

After all, if his wife and children were in her hands at that time, he would have to be somewhat wary.

It was just that Gu Xiaoyue's heart would not be as sinister as Prince Duan's.

Gu Xiaoyue gave a cold snort and continued to absorb level experience to feed to Bi Fang.

She didn't stop until Xiao Mo upgraded to the late stage of the seventh maturity level and Bi Fang upgraded to the early stage of the sixth maturity level.

【Ding—Congratulations to the host for achieving a new achievement—10 pet beasts at the sixth maturity level (Completed), reward: 10,500 points, 5 Black Jade Snow Lotuses!】

Another black jade snow lotus; this spiritual plant was good, but unfortunately, the babies couldn't use it for the time being!

Gu Xiaoyue felt a tiny bit dissatisfied with the system. She pursed her lips and cast her gaze onto Jiang Mengfei's few half-dead pet beasts.

"Xiao Qi, strike them both, man and beast, but mind the scale—the person can be struck to death, but the pet beasts had best stay alive!"

Gu Xiaoyue had Yinglong make it rain from the beginning to act as a conductor; as for why she had Yinglong make it rain.

It was purely because Yinglong's rain was both imposing and beautiful!

"You got it!"

Xiao Qi gleefully held the Po Di Zi Jin Spear high. Seeing the lightning energy gathering more and more, Jiang Mengfei's expression grew increasingly terrified, and he kept begging Gu Xiaoyue for mercy.

Gu Xiaoyue turned a deaf ear and only took out a hua yu fruit to feed to Bi Fang.

Bi Fang also rarely showed her a smiling face and ate it obediently.

"Woo ah! —"

Xiao Qi's Thunderbolt Spell struck straight down. Jiang Mengfei let out one last scream, and the secret spatial realm twisted until it disappeared.

Gu Xiaoyue and her pet beasts fell to the ground due to weightlessness. Bi Fang quickly sprawled beneath Gu Xiaoyue, acting as her cushion.

She hadn't expected that Bi Fang, who always stared at her with a bit of anger and resentment, would also subconsciously protect her.

Supplies were scattered all over the ground, along with Jiang Mengfei's charred corpse.

Gu Xiaoyue gathered the pet beast eggs and supplies into her Yu Beast Space, then stepped on Jiang Mengfei's corpse.

Following that, she used a fire-attribute skill, and Jiang Mengfei's body instantly turned to ash.

Everything was handled. She wanted to chat with Bi Fang when she heard a huge bird cry, which made her head buzz.

What kind of high-tier ferocious beast was this?

At this intensity of bird cry, the first person she thought of was Bai Yu Kang—

Even she, who had strengthened her body twelve times, was left with ringing ears. Bai Yu Kang was old and frail, and with the residual poison not yet cleared, wouldn't he be shaken to the point of internal injury!

If this ferocious beast encountered those on the hunt, it would likely be dire, and they might even be completely wiped out!

Gu Xiaoyue waved her hand, taking Xiao Qi and the others back into her Yu Beast Space, then turned invisible and dashed in the direction of the bird cry.
