CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 38: GOD’S CHOSEN SON

Whoosh---

The Holy Beast, that is indeed the Holy Beast.

Their Lord, has he summoned the Holy Beast?

The villagers, who had endured numerous hardships, gazed incredulously at the sky, where the high and mighty Beast God stood. Any previous dissatisfaction, concern, or doubt they had about Yue Jinghua had vanished in that moment.

Who would continue to doubt a Lord who could summon a Holy Beast to assist? Even if this Lord sometimes went missing or was nowhere to be seen when it really mattered.

In the hearts of the subjects of Fengdan County, there surged an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction, one that made them forget all the suffering they had endured over the past three years.

Golden-haired Gore watched with reverence toward a seemingly inconsequential corner outside the village.

They saw a young man stride over, smiling and waving his hand at the golden-haired Beast God, "Gore, you’ve worked hard."

Only then did the villagers realize that the Beast God’s name was Gore.

The Lord dared to address the Lord Beast God by his name? The villagers were so frightened they couldn’t utter a single word.

"Lord, how do you plan to deal with these unruly Xuan Beasts?" Golden-haired Gore’s eyes, capable of captivating all creatures, carried a hint of a smile, and her golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Nobody noticed that on the chest of the "Holy Beast" with the golden hair, she wore a Star Pendant Necklace that didn’t match her beauty at all. The pendant, covered with mottled spots, was now emitting a faint mysterious light.

As her golden hair swayed, a scentless powder scattered in the wind, quietly drifting into the midst of the Xuan Beasts.

The Stone-eating Fragrant Pigs only felt drowsy, their hooves wobbling, seemingly subdued by the awe of the Holy Beast.

With tender affection, Yue Jinghua picked up a Stone-eating Fragrant Pig, round in body with a plum blossom spot on each hoof, "This Lord is compassionate; this group of Stone-eating Fragrant Pigs is quite adorable."

(Fu Zi voiceover: Applause, welcome the grand appearance of Sisi the Color Worm, who knows Queen Yue the best, to explain the Queen’s thoughts.

The crowd of Xuan Beasts clapped energetically while Qing Pu struck a cool pose on the side.

Gold Eater Worm makes a haughty entrance: Awww, in fact, she wants to say that their meat is tasty.)

"Xuan Beasts and the Human Race are both part of Canglong Continent, we need to be united, friendly, mutually beneficial, and live in peace," Yue Jinghua spoke earnestly, her eyes shimmering with divine light.

(Awww, what she means is, a woman who doesn’t take revenge is not a true woman. These Xuan Beasts, the males will be captured to plow the fields, the females will be bred diligently for piglets.)

"Therefore, the Holy Beast only needs to punish them a little, and for the subsequent matters, I will resolve them with the villagers," Yue Jinghua bowed to the golden-haired Holy Beast.

(Awww, what she’s saying is, damn Feng Chuo for concocting some slow-acting poison that hasn’t taken effect yet, don’t waste everyone’s time waiting to sleep beautifully.)

As expected, as soon as Lord’s voice fell, the Xuan Beasts that surrounded the village in three inner layers and three outer layers almost simultaneously softened, all collapsing to the ground as the poison took effect.

The scene was just like the swine fever outbreak that the old village chief had witnessed many years ago.

The villagers hadn’t come to their senses yet, and the few people left standing were all stunned as if struck by a sudden shout.

Only Feng Chuo touched his head and murmured softly, "Why do the Xuan Beasts look like they’ve been poisoned?"

Alas, everyone’s attention was focused on the Golden-haired Beast God in the sky and the Young Lord, and no one paid any attention to Feng Chuo’s words.

"Lord, all is as you wished," the Golden-haired Beast God saluted seductively, turning into a golden light that shot towards a certain part of Xuan Beast Ridge, while Yue Jinghua smiled and instructed Shalman and others to tie up all the Xuan Beasts on the ground.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yue Jinghua’s figure dashed into the forest.

In a certain part of the woods, within a Six-star Array, the figure of Qing Pu was clearly visible, and beside him in the Star Light Array emitting Five-star Light, the triumphant Snake Woman Ge’er was swaying her tail.

Her face no longer held the glamorous look from when the Holy Beast appeared earlier, it still wore a childlike carefree expression. Seeing Yue Jinghua, she cheerfully shook her wavy golden hair and spread out her arms to hug her master.

"I did not expect the Holy Beast Star Pendant to have such a function," Yue Jinghua removed the Star Pendant Necklace from the neck of Snake-haired Little Gore.

No sooner had the necklace left her body than Little Gore’s form began to shrink rapidly, reverting back to her Half-Saint Beast status as a little golden-haired lolita.

After obtaining the Holy Beast Star Pendant inadvertently from the descendants of the Deep Blue Family’s Summoner, Yue Jinghua hadn’t used it many times, since she usually concealed her identity as a Summoner.

Most of the time, this Star Pendant Necklace was in the hands of Qing Pu, and a few days ago, by chance, Qing Pu discovered that Snake-haired Little Gore, when in her Half-Saint Beast youthful state and wearing the Holy Beast Necklace, could actually transform into an adult Holy Beast for a short duration.

Although in that state she only possessed seventy percent of her strength, the divine pressure emitted from her as a Holy Beast was undeniably authentic.

However, the same pendant, used on the Gold Eater Worm, did not produce any effect, and the reasons for this were something Yue Jinghua and Qing Pu could not fathom.

The beast tide tonight actually provided a perfect stage for Golden-haired Gore. With the help of Qing Pu’s sky illusion magic and Yue Jinghua’s acting, they managed to deceive the villagers successfully. Even smart people like Helian Sheng and Teng Wu were still in a state of Confusion, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

"Hiss hiss--" Snake-haired Little Gore climbed onto Yue Jinghua’s arm and affectionately rubbed against her neck, looking for favor.

"Well done, here’s a drop of Green Liquid for you," Yue Jinghua took out a vial and gave Little Gore a drop of Green Liquid, who joyfully wagged her little head.

This beast tide, which should have been a natural disaster, came to such an end—a conclusion even Yue Jinghua herself had not foreseen.

"Now that the beast tide has been quelled, it’s time to go back and clean up the aftermath. This time’s gains are indeed substantial," said Yue Jinghua as she was about to close the Summoning Star Array.

Just then, Little Gore, who had just ingested Green Liquid and was starting to doze off, suddenly let out a sharp cry, bristling all her snake scales and roaring angrily towards the endless Xuan Beast Ridge behind Yue Jinghua.

Yue Jinghua was startled and, together with Qing Pu, turned to look in the direction of the ridge.

There on the ridge, a mass of mud-like black gas rolled in. Within the black gas, a pair of crimson eyes stared intently at Yue Jinghua.

A terrifyingly old voice, as if burrowing out from the earth, murmured: "Dark Demon Master, it’s the scent of a Dark Demon Master."
