Chapter 1245: Chapter 1244: Driven to Rage

"Well, you’re naturally different from others. It’s possible that exotic beasts might be scared by you, the Shen family’s young lady, and obediently bow to you." Su Changfeng spoke with a smile.

Shen Rushuang turned her head with an ugly expression, glaring at Su Changfeng. She could naturally hear the sarcasm in Su Changfeng’s words.

In Tianshui City, she’s the Shen family’s young lady, with an extraordinary status, but in the eyes of those exotic beasts, she naturally means nothing.

"Su Changfeng, before you speak, look at your own identity first. What right do you have to speak to me?" Shen Rushuang gritted her teeth.

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng obediently shut his mouth. A good man doesn’t fight with women, especially not with strong women like Shen Rushuang; there’s no point.

At this moment, Wang Junyi came riding on horseback from afar. Now he was a fourth-rank expert; no matter where he went, people would instinctively look at him, their eyes full of envy and admiration.

He couldn’t help but enjoy this feeling of walking at the center of the world. Although he was also the City Lord’s son, born with an unparalleled status, that external identity was nothing compared to his own strength. His powerful strength clearly gave him greater confidence.

"Shen Rushuang, we haven’t seen each other for days, and I’ve finally figured it out." Wang Junyi deliberately walked to Shen Rushuang’s side.

"Figured out what?" Shen Rushuang stared straight into the distance, not looking at Wang Junyi at all. It wasn’t arrogance, but insecurity, to be precise; she lacked the courage.

Once, Shen Rushuang never cared about Wang Junyi; after all, even Wang Chongxing was just a puppet of the three families, let alone Wang Junyi, the young master of the City Lord Mansion.

But things were different now. Wang Junyi had leaped into becoming a fourth-rank expert, far exceeding everyone in Tianshui City in strength. Naturally, she had no qualifications to act bossy in front of Wang Junyi.

"All those years, why did I focus so intently on liking you? With my skills, if I went to Xingluo, what kind of woman wouldn’t I have?" Wang Junyi looked at her smugly.

Shen Rushuang’s face turned unsightly. She never expected even Wang Junyi would dare to mock her now.

Giving Wang Junyi a fierce glare, Shen Rushuang said, "Just a mere fourth-rank expert, do you think Xingluo Royal Family would care about a mere fourth-rank expert? Quit dreaming."

Hearing this, Wang Junyi didn’t get angry but asked in return, "Do you really think fourth rank is my limit?"

Shen Rushuang’s expression turned even uglier. Wang Junyi had rapidly advanced by two ranks; certainly, he wouldn’t stop there in the future—it’s just a matter of time.

"Moreover, with my current strength, I can easily explore the depths of the Yuanqi Mountain Range, increasing the likelihood of encountering exotic beasts. If I’m lucky enough to become a beast tamer, what do you think Xingluo Royal Family’s reaction would be?" Wang Junyi laughed even more proudly.

Shen Rushuang’s face paled instantly. A beast tamer?

If he truly finds a way to become a beast tamer, Shen Rushuang would definitely regret rejecting Wang Junyi back then.

"I know you’ve always looked down on me, but things are different now; you don’t have the qualification." After speaking, Wang Junyi rode his horse straightforwardly to the front of the group.

He was now the most formidable presence in Tianshui City, naturally, he could walk at the front.

Su Changfeng held back hard, stopping himself from bursting out in laughter. This guy Wang Junyi was really too arrogant; Shen Rushuang might get infuriated by him.

At this moment, Shen Yunlong came over. Noticing Shen Rushuang’s poor complexion, he asked worriedly, "Rushuang, are you okay?"

Before Shen Rushuang could respond, Shen Yunlong looked at Su Changfeng with a face full of murderous intent, coldly questioning, "Was it you?"

Su Changfeng was speechless; he was just sitting at home, how did this blame come falling from the sky onto him? Where would he dare provoke Shen Rushuang?

But he didn’t respond, a little curious whether Shen Yunlong dared to stand up for Shen Rushuang.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. It’s Wang Junyi. If you want revenge, just go to Wang Junyi directly."

Hearing this, Shen Yunlong hesitated. If it were before, he would definitely dare to challenge Wang Junyi, maybe even make Wang Junyi apologize to Shen Rushuang. But times have changed; Wang Junyi was now a fourth-rank expert, not costing any effort to deal with Shen Yunlong. What qualification did he have to find trouble with Wang Junyi?

Su Changfeng chuckled lightly, didn’t expect this guy to also be someone who bullies the weak but fears the strong, only pretending to be brave with words.

"What? Not going for revenge?" Su Changfeng, seeing Shen Yunlong not speaking, said intentionally.

"What’s it to you? Shut up!" Shen Rushuang glared at Su Changfeng angrily.

She naturally knew how upset Shen Yunlong was about Wang Junyi’s matter. And yet, this Su Changfeng guy deliberately provoked Shen Yunlong, wasn’t this clearly embarrassing Shen Yunlong?

Su Changfeng shook his head helplessly, saying, "I originally thought your brother would help you get revenge. Turns out, he lacks the courage. Since so, just pretend you didn’t hear anything."

Suddenly, Shen Yunlong turned, expression fierce as he grabbed Su Changfeng’s throat, gritting his teeth, "Su Changfeng, are you courting death?"

Su Changfeng looked completely unconcerned. Even Wang Junyi wouldn’t dare commit murder under everyone’s eyes, let alone Shen Yunlong.

Moreover, if Shen Yunlong really dared to take action against him, who kills whom wasn’t certain at all.

Despite still having toxins from the White Jade Python in him, making his strength not as before, dealing with a second-rank Shen Yunlong wouldn’t take any effort.

"Shen Yunlong, you can only vent your anger on me now, how pathetic. Even if I don’t resist, would you really dare kill me under everyone’s eyes?" Su Changfeng spoke calmly.

Shen Yunlong was burning with rage but eventually loosened his grip on Su Changfeng.

Killing someone in public would result in mutual destruction. He naturally wouldn’t be so reckless to ruin his bright future for a moment of rashness.

On the side, Shen Rushuang couldn’t hide her murderous intent anymore. She had already planned to deal with Su Changfeng at the hunting festival, and now, more than ever, her resolve strengthened.

Before long, Wang Chongxing appeared. As Tianshui City’s City Lord, and the hunting festival being an annual event, he naturally had to attend.

"Everyone, time is almost up. I won’t hold you any longer. I hope everyone will return fully loaded. Well then, let’s depart."

After speaking, everyone began rushing forward frantically. Everyone hoped to get the upper hand because exotic beasts on the outskirts of the Yuanqi Mountain Range were scarce. If they lost the initiative, they’d likely have even less chance to encounter exotic beasts.
