Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1225: She’s Not the One with the Problem

Seeing the once arrogant Fierce Stone Demon now in such a wretched and pitiful state, fleeing miserably, Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but feel a sense of compassion, contemplating whether or not to continue the attack.

Compared to human cultivators, the Beast Clan obviously doesn’t have much sympathy. A shadow flashed by, and Taowu had already rushed over yelling and shouting. He grabbed the tail of the Fierce Stone Demon with his claws and flung it away, and before it could land, he leapt into the air, mounted it, and gave it a thorough beating.

Brutal, it’s too brutal! No wonder it’s listed as one of the Four Great Fierce Beasts.

Seeing black clotted blood oozing from the mouth, nose, and ears of the Fierce Stone Demon, Mu Hanyan’s mouth twitched violently. This was just a Beast Soul, displaying only thirty percent of its power; if it were Taowu in his prime, how violent would he be?

"Does it hurt now? Are you scared? Do you admit defeat?" Taowu didn’t forget his Beast Taming Technique of beating until submission, shouting as he beat relentlessly.

"Awoo... Awoo... Awoo..." The Fierce Stone Demon roared angrily, clearly filled with reluctance.

"Still not admitting defeat? Fine, I’ll beat you until you do." Taowu shouted excitedly, continuing his beating.

With each heavy blow, the Fierce Stone Demon bounced up fiercely and then slammed heavily into the ground, involuntarily creating a deep pit on the hard surface, as blood gradually pooled and slowly seeped through the cracks.

Mu Hanyan not only twitched her mouth but even her eyelids began to twitch; brutal, it’s truly too brutal.

"Spare me...Master, spare me, I admit...I admit defeat." The Fierce Stone Demon finally relented, pleading in a trembling voice.

"Hahaha, I told you, if beaten to the point of pain and fear, how could one not admit defeat." Taowu laughed out loud.

"Master, wasn’t my Beast Taming Technique good?" Stopping his laughter, Taowu ingratiatingly said to Mu Hanyan.

"Hmm, not bad, very good," Mu Hanyan only then came back to her senses, speaking somewhat woodenly.

This kind of Beast Taming Technique was entirely different from what Master Liang had mentioned, but it seemed to be effective, just a bit too brutal.

"By the way, can you speak human?" Mu Hanyan recalled something and looked at the Fierce Stone Demon in surprise.

The ability of Exotic Beasts to learn human language isn’t related to strength but innate talent. For example, the little fellow Angang doesn’t have notable combat power but was born capable of understanding human speech, and as far as she knew, although the Fierce Stone Demon was strong in combat, it was difficult for it to learn human language.

"No matter if it can speak human or not, Master, I think this guy is thick-skinned and durable, taking it as a Sword Pet might be nice; if we meet strong enemies, it can at least be used to block a blade and die, what do you think?" Taowu suggested eagerly.

Mu Hanyan’s forehead sprouted several black lines; blocking a blade and dying, this suggestion seems quite reasonable. However, such words are better said behind the scenes, speaking directly could hurt feelings.

"No, no," the Fierce Stone Demon opposed repeatedly.

"What! You actually refuse?" Seeing it dare to oppose, Taowu glared with eyes like copper bells, raising his claws.

"Master, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I’ve already signed a life-and-death contract with someone. Although my blood has awakened again and I’ve comprehended the innate abilities left by my ancestors, the power of the contract has weakened significantly, but I can’t re-establish a contract with anyone else." Clearly frightened by Taowu, as he was about to act, the Fierce Stone Demon hurriedly explained, fear chilling its heart.

"What? You’ve signed a contract with someone, who is it?" Mu Hanyan had felt something was amiss about the Fierce Stone Demon’s appearance before, suspecting someone wanted to harm her. Hearing this, a light shone in her heart, finally finding the mastermind behind it.

"It is the Hall Master of the Beast Taming Hall, Deng Yingjie." The Fierce Stone Demon replied.

"Why would he want to harm me?" Mu Hanyan asked instinctively.

"Why would he want to harm you?" The Fierce Stone Demon questioned back instinctively.

"The master is asking you, not you asking the master." Taowu, doing his best to show loyalty and win favor from Mu Hanyan, seeing the Fierce Stone Demon’s non-responsive answer, immediately slapped down again.

"He didn’t harm the master, I was only playful and wanted to scare you for fun. I used to play like this, but unexpectedly, this time I encountered a formidable one, not fainting immediately. I intended to play longer, who knew, who knew..." The Fierce Stone Demon, cleared by the slap, explained with grievances, speaking with eyes glistening with tears towards the end.

"Uh..." Listening to its words, Mu Hanyan was speechless for a long while.

"Is it speaking the truth?" Mu Hanyan asked softly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Hmm, under my Divine Beast Heavenly Might, it cannot lie." Taowu nodded confidently.

"Alright, then it’s nothing to do with you, go back, you’ve worked hard this time." Mu Hanyan said listlessly.

"Master overpraises me, to serve the master is my great honor. Not mentioning this small matter, even to plunge into boiling water and risk my head spilling blood for the master, I would not bat an eye..." Taowu seized the opportunity to express loyalty to Mu Hanyan, pounding his chest with a sound of thud-thud. Unexpectedly it was only a Beast Soul, how this sound was produced.

Mu Hanyan waved her hand, directly sending it back to the Soul Beast Hall. It was hard enough to slightly improve Zirong’s flattery habits, how come there’s another one.

Mu Hanyan felt frustrated, it turned out after much ruckus to be a big misunderstanding, accidentally beating the Hall Master’s Sword Pet like this, how should she explain?

As Mu Hanyan was feeling troubled, she heard a loud crash, Hall Master Deng and the three mentors, Zhu Liang, exerted full effort, along with several young disciples helping, finally breaking through the seal and opening the door.

"Miss, you’re alright!" Seeing Mu Hanyan safe and sound, Zirong let out a long breath.

Though he had enough confidence in Mu Hanyan, he also had enough concern, concern leading to chaos, regardless of confidence, until witnessing her safety firsthand, inevitably worried.

"Lady Mu, are you alright?" Hall Master Deng and several others weren’t reassured and asked again.

"I’m fine." Mu Hanyan shook her head, instinctively glancing at the Fierce Stone Demon.

She is indeed fine, but that guy has quite an issue.

"What’s this..." Following her gaze, Hall Master Deng and others also looked at the Fierce Stone Demon.

At a glance, nearly failing to recognize.

"Ah Bao, Ah Bao, how did you get hurt like this?" Hall Master Deng was stunned for a while before reacting. The bruised and battered figure before him, bleeding everywhere, even having its horn broken halfway, looking at an extremely pitiable state, wasn’t it his Sword Pet the Fierce Stone Demon?
