Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Really Became a Mount

Watching Ye Tianling’s cold, domineering demeanor, Yao Ling suddenly thought, ’Even though this man is uncultured—a "hick"—he’s a hick Divine Child, at the very least. Actually... hmm, he’s quite impressive.’

"Oh, right. Come on, transform into your mount form. I’m going to step on your head and fly out of here."

Ye Tianling beckoned to Yao Ling with his finger. Yao Ling’s eyes went wide as she stared at him. "Me? But I’m a beautiful woman! You... you’d actually do something like that!"

"Are you going to do it or not?"

Ye Tianling wasn’t buying Yao Ling’s act.

’This proud Golden Roc girl will become completely lawless if I don’t teach her a harsh lesson.’

"Uh, fine. Alright."

Yao Ling felt resigned. The influence of bloodline hierarchy was immense, to say nothing of the fact that Ye Tianling’s bloodline was far, far more superior than she had ever imagined.

A bet was a bet. Having lost, she had to pay the price for her promise.

Seeing this, Xia Xinyue looked as though she wanted to speak but held her tongue, her expression filled with shame.

She had accepted this battle and conspired with Yao Ling to set a trap, and the result... spoke for itself.

With a flash, Yao Ling transformed into a beautiful Golden-winged Roc, three to four meters in size. Its golden wings shimmered with a faint, hazy light, and a violet-blue Spiritual Energy flowed around its form, making it look exceptionally proud and majestic.

"Truly beautiful. Her looks are certainly much better than Yao Lun’s. A Top Grade prize you can both ride and sleep with."

"Hmph!"

The Golden-winged Roc, Yao Ling, snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction by cursing him in her thoughts.

With a flash, Ye Tianling stepped right onto the Golden-winged Roc’s head.

Yao Ling’s head sank under the weight. Just as she was about to express her displeasure, Ye Tianling performed a simple leap and landed on her back.

’That’s more like it. If you dare step on my head again, you and I are not finished,’ Yao Ling thought resentfully.

Though she was still reluctant, Ye Tianling was already standing on her. Since she was already acting as his mount, Yao Ling gradually came to terms with it.

"Let’s go. Time to get out of here," Ye Tianling said with a sly grin.

WHOOSH—

Yao Ling flapped her golden wings and shot forward, accelerating with extreme speed.

She wanted to teach Ye Tianling a lesson, to give him such a scare that he would be mentally scarred and never dare to use a Golden-winged Roc as a mount again.

But despite this burst of speed, not only did Ye Tianling stand perfectly steady, he even seemed quite satisfied.

"Not bad speed, and plenty of explosive power. This way, when it’s time for our Yin Yang Harmony, I won’t have to worry about your stamina keeping up," Ye Tianling praised.

Hearing this, Xia Xinyue’s pretty face flushed crimson, and she cursed inwardly, ’This Kunpeng Divine Son is so vulgar! How can he say such lewd things so shamelessly!’

Despite her thoughts, Ye Tianling’s shameless, direct, and unrestrained manner left an incredibly deep impression on her. It reached a point where she found herself strangely drawn to this kind of interaction.

PFFT—

Upon hearing that, Yao Ling nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

She said nothing, nor did she want to. She simply flapped her golden wings with all her might and flew out of the Royal Family’s Celestial Tower. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

...

Outside the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Yao Lun, Xia Xinran, Xia Xinqin, Jiang Xiangning, and the others were all incredibly worried.

"Sigh, although the Divine Child’s Battle Power is unparalleled, Princess Xia Xinyue is simply too strong. She’s one of the top prodigies in Yunxiao City! If she steps into the Sword Void Second Transformation Realm, her strength will be even more astounding—enough to rank in the top ten in Battle Power in Yunxiao City!"

Yao Lun muttered to himself, then sighed.

"I’ve heard that Demon Ling Saintess and Princess Xinyue get along well, but I don’t know if that’s just hearsay," Xia Xinqin said with some hesitation.

"That’s why I’m even more worried. What if they team up to scheme against the Tianling Divine Son?" Jiang Xiangning said worriedly.

In truth, she was more worried about Ye Tianling’s identity being exposed.

After all, she had been one of the first to come into contact with Ye Tianling, and back then, he truly... knew nothing.

If he were truly the Kunpeng Divine Son, how could he have possibly ended up wandering the outside world with the Golden-winged Roc Clan being completely unaware?

Furthermore, Ye Tianling was definitely a Human Race Cultivator. The greatest characteristics of Human Race Cultivators were their ’cunning’ and a special ’Simulation’ Talent.

If Ye Tianling was using such a method...

Jiang Xiangning mulled it over. Though worried, she decided to guard this secret and had no intention of revealing it.

Xia Xinran shared the same concerns as Jiang Xiangning.

However, Ye Tianling’s Talent had truly shaken her. At the same time, her reasoning was clear: since both the Elder Roc King and the Celestial Serpent King acknowledged Ye Tianling as the Kunpeng Divine Son, what was there for her to worry about?

For now, she was equally worried that Ye Tianling would be targeted by Princess Xia Xinyue. If that happened, she feared the outcome would be disastrous.

Among the group, the only one who wasn’t worried was the Little Fox Zhu’Er.

She never once considered the possibility that Ye Tianling would fail. It was as if she had a mysterious, unshakable confidence in him from beginning to end.

"Schemes are nothing to be afraid of, and you two don’t need to worry, either. Big Brother will be out soon. Princess Xinyue and Demon Ling Saintess will definitely be defeated."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes began to light up again, as if she were thinking about barbecued meat. She was practically drooling.

Seeing her act like this, Jiang Xiangning, Xia Xinran, and Xia Xinqin couldn’t help but smile wryly.

’Defeating one of them is hard enough, let alone two. And to do it in the Royal Family’s Celestial Tower, a place that contains powerful, soul-suppressing energy...’

Just as the group was worrying, a beautiful Golden-winged Roc flew out.

Then, to the utter astonishment of Xia Xinqin and the others, they saw a handsome, white-robed young man standing on the Golden Roc’s back.

That person was none other than Ye Tianling.

And beneath Ye Tianling’s feet, wasn’t that the very same Yao Ling who had been so arrogant and defiant just before?

Only, now Yao Ling had not only transformed into a Golden-winged Roc, but she was also acting as Ye Tianling’s mount?

What was even harder to accept was that while Ye Tianling stood at the front, Princess Xinyue had not only emerged as well, but was following behind him, her every word and action tinged with a hint of respect?

"I... I must be fucking blind!"

Yao Lun rubbed his eyes hard, convinced he was hallucinating.

Xia Xinqin’s heart pounded in her chest, and her pretty face was a mask of utter disbelief.

The expressions on Jiang Xiangning and Xia Xinran’s faces froze. They were utterly dumbfounded.

"This..."

"What the..."

"She really became his mount!"

"A bet’s a bet. Demon Ling Saintess lost, so she became his mount. Doesn’t that also mean that Princess Xinyue lost her battle against the Kunpeng Divine Son?"

"Judging by Princess Xinyue’s respectful demeanor and how she’s quietly following behind the Kunpeng Divine Son, that’s obviously the case."

"She really lost! The Kunpeng Divine Son is only at the Sword Spirit Second Heaven Realm, isn’t he? Princess Xinyue is probably already in the Sword Void Second Transformation Realm, right? If so, does that mean the Kunpeng Divine Son can already be considered the number one Divine Son of Yunxiao City, even at his current level?"
