Chapter 1252: Chapter 1251: Taming the Blood Lion

The ten-zhang-long White Jade Python was intimidating, flicking its tongue as it stared at the Seven-star Blood Lion below.

At this moment, the Seven-star Blood Lion had long lost its previous domineering ferocity, now as docile as a little rabbit, merely pleading under the terrifying power of the Nine-star Beast, the White Jade Python.

The White Jade Python moved its head slightly. Frightened, the Blood Lion trembled and knelt down as if begging for mercy. The White Jade Python, unperturbed, swung its tail, sending the Blood Lion flying.

The Blood Lion’s body slammed hard against the solid rock wall, letting out only a weak whimper with no intention of resisting.

Of course, its opponent was simply too powerful; it naturally didn’t dare to resist.

The White Jade Python opened its blood-red mouth, preparing to devour the Blood Lion, but Su Changfeng’s voice stopped it.

"Hold off on killing it first," Su Changfeng ordered.

The White Jade Python naturally obeyed Su Changfeng, halting its actions upon hearing the command.

The Blood Lion seemed to look at Su Changfeng with gratitude. At such a level of power, Exotic Beasts are extremely intelligent. After expressing gratitude to Su Changfeng, it tried to quietly slip away.

At this moment, Su Changfeng suddenly spoke, "I’m not gonna kill you, but I didn’t say I’d let you go."

On hearing this, the Blood Lion froze and looked helplessly in Su Changfeng’s direction.

Su Changfeng did not look at it; instead, he turned to Wang Junyi and asked, "Do you want it?"

"Huh?" Wang Junyi stared at Su Changfeng blankly, seemingly not comprehending: "Want what?"

"Nonsense, of course the Blood Lion," Su Changfeng rolled his eyes at him.

Bang!

At this moment, Wang Junyi felt as if his mind were struck by lightning, completely bewildered.

Blood Lion?

Did his master mean for him to tame the Blood Lion?

He had never considered such a thing! Wang Junyi, full of youthful enthusiasm, once had the biggest dream of taming a Three-star Beast; that was more than enough. Even back then, achieving this dream seemed unlikely.

But now, his master was asking him to tame a Seven-star Beast, and not just any beast, but a Blood Lion. For a moment, he was dazed, unsure if it was real.

"Master... can I... can I really?" Wang Junyi stammered.

"Why so much nonsense? Just say whether you want it or not. If you’re not willing, I’ll kill it right away," Su Changfeng said impatiently, increasingly questioning if accepting this disciple was a mistake.

"I want it, I want it, I want it..." Wang Junyi nodded quickly like a little chicken pecking at grains. Such an opportunity had fallen into his lap; why wouldn’t he seize it? To tame a Seven-star Beast! If he missed this chance, who knew when such an opportunity would arise again?

The Blood Lion seemed somewhat reluctant, considering Wang Junyi was merely a Fourth Rank in its eyes. Being tamed by him felt like an insult.

However, under the pressure from the White Jade Python, it lacked the courage to resist. Besides, Su Changfeng had made it clear: if Wang Junyi didn’t want it, it wouldn’t survive.

Being alive, it didn’t want to die either, so being tamed was better than death.

"Master... can I really?" Wang Junyi, still without much confidence, cautiously looked at Su Changfeng.

He knew his current power; if he truly tamed the Blood Lion, many people would be shocked.

Just imagining riding the Blood Lion back to Tianshui City made Wang Junyi feel like he was floating. However, once that happened, people would surely wonder, perhaps even exposing his master’s identity.

"No worries, as long as you don’t reveal it, let them speculate however they want. Without evidence, no one can say anything," Su Changfeng said reassuringly.

Wang Junyi nodded. With his master’s reassurance, he had nothing to worry about.

He approached the Blood Lion and said, "I understand, with my current capabilities, I’m not worthy of you. But as you can see, my master is a formidable Primordial Master. I believe that one day, I will grow strong enough to be a match for you. Of course, I will never treat you unfairly," Wang Junyi assured the Blood Lion.

Having said this, Wang Junyi performed a series of gestures. Given the power disparity between him and the Blood Lion, the Blood Lion could certainly resist. However, though it couldn’t see, it sensed a fiery gaze fixed upon it. If it refused, death would be its only outcome.

The moment the strange talisman integrated into the Blood Lion’s forehead, Wang Junyi felt a faint sense of connection. It seemed like, no matter where he was, he could clearly perceive the Blood Lion’s position, and with a mere thought, he could easily kill it.

At this moment, Wang Junyi suddenly faced Su Changfeng and knelt down, bowing several times with a serious expression.

He now sincerely showed Su Changfeng his respect and gratitude. In these days, Su Changfeng had not only helped him advance two ranks but had also helped him tame the Seven-star Beast, the Blood Lion.

He didn’t know how to express the thanks and willingness to always follow Su Changfeng in his heart, so he did it in the most straightforward and simple way, ensuring Su Changfeng understood his loyalty.

"Thank you, Master," Wang Junyi said earnestly.

"Since you’re my disciple, you don’t need to say such things," Su Changfeng replied calmly.

He knew well that after this event, Wang Junyi would surely follow him earnestly, never betraying him. For Su Changfeng, that was enough, for understanding the Tianyuan Continent was crucial, and having someone to guide and aid him was certainly beneficial.

Su Changfeng looked at Shen Rushuang, still unconscious, and said to Wang Junyi, "It’s getting late; let’s take her and leave."

Wang Junyi was somewhat conflicted. If it were before, he would’ve had thoughts. After all, he had been fond of Shen Rushuang for quite some time, and taking some advantage while she was unconscious seemed tempting. However, things were different now; Shen Rushuang was publicly his godmother. How could he possibly have any thoughts?

"Master, although there’s not much between you two, she is also kinda my master’s wife now. I shouldn’t lay hands on her, right?" Wang Junyi said.

Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow, giving him a teasing look: "Haven’t you admired her for a long time? You even wanted to kill me at first, didn’t you?"

Wang Junyi quickly waved his hands and said, "Master, where is this coming from? I dare not have such intentions. Even if you didn’t like her, I’d never have any relationship with her."

Su Changfeng sighed helplessly and finally carried Shen Rushuang himself.

The Little White Snake transformed back, slipping into his sleeve, and as for the Blood Lion, it followed closely beside Wang Junyi, making him seem all the more extraordinary.
