Chapter 89: Unexpected Bond and a Furious Ape

The thought made Qin Yangjun even angrier.

But he calmed down. The divine beast contract was different from other master-servant contracts. It was branded directly into the sea of consciousness.

If he stewed her, his soul would be damaged and his strength would plummet. He was still refining the Golden Crow Banner. If his soul were injured now, the backlash would surely come.

Moreover, she had signed a master-servant contract. Her soul was bound to his. If something happened to him, she would die. So even if he ran into Yu Lingyue later, she probably wouldn’t betray him.

With that thought, Qin Yangjun tossed the Azure Luan aside.

He had gained a helper for nothing, but he wasn’t happy at all.

Right now, Linghu’er was still stunned by what had just happened. Seeing Qin Yangjun throw the Azure Luan away, she snapped out of it.

“This might be a legendary divine beast. How can you treat her like this?”

She moved to pick up the Azure Luan, who had crashed to the ground.

Suddenly, a burst of azure flame erupted from the Azure Luan’s body.

If Linghu’er hadn’t dodged in time, she would have been burned.

Linghu’er stared wide-eyed at the Azure Luan, confused.

The Azure Luan had already returned to Qin Yangjun’s side.

“Filthy woman, don’t touch me with your dirty hands! My master can do whatever he wants with me. You have no right to say anything. Get out!”

Another burst of divine beast aura exploded, forcing Linghu’er back two more steps.

Anger flashed in Linghu’er’s eyes. She had been trying to help her, and this was the attitude she got.

Then she looked at Qin Yangjun.

Qin Yangjun waved his hand.

“I’m fine.”

But as he spoke, hot air poured from Qin Yangjun’s mouth.

“You don’t look fine at all.”

Linghu’er tried to approach and check on him, but the Azure Luan forced her back again.

“Stay away from my master, mortal! Come any closer and I’ll burn you to ash!”

Qin Yangjun sighed helplessly, then said softly.

“Let me rest. You go out first.”

He really hadn’t expected this to happen. He had come here for Linghu’er’s sake. If she got hurt now, he couldn’t justify it.

After confirming that Qin Yangjun was truly okay, Linghu’er shot a furious glare at the Azure Luan, then hugged Gengjin Liesparrow and walked out of the cave.

As soon as Linghu’er left, the Azure Luan turned around. Her phoenix-like eyes held an expression of extremely human-like adoration.

“My master, if you’re unhappy, you can throw me again. Even ten times, a hundred times, it’s fine. Your whipping is the best reward for me.”

Qin Yangjun turned his head away in speechlessness. This was exactly why he found her troublesome.

He really hadn’t expected the Azure Luan to take a liking to him.

But what was done was done. Qin Yangjun had no mind to think about other things now. The burning sensation all over his body was too painful.

So he ignored her completely.

He found a corner, leaned against the wall, and sat down.

The Azure Luan seemed to notice his state. She went over to him on her own, spread her wings, and began fanning him.

Meanwhile, as Linghu’er walked out of the cave, a gale struck her, followed by a deafening roar.

The Rocksteel King Ape was charging toward her with reckless abandon.

Linghu’er’s face paled. She had almost forgotten that the Rocksteel King Ape was still outside.

But the next second, a rope formed from spiritual power shot out from behind the Rocksteel King Ape and wrapped around its neck.

Ah Ling’s body exploded with astonishing strength. She clenched the spiritual rope, yanked backward, and actually pulled the massive Rocksteel King Ape to the ground.

But the Rocksteel King Ape wasn’t easy to deal with. After falling, it rolled backward and got back up.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three heavy punches smashed down toward Ah Ling, sending flying.

Ah Ling dodged again.

After the prolonged fight, she was panting heavily.

But recalling Qin Yangjun’s instructions, she pulled herself together. Demonic energy and spiritual power intertwined around her body.

Just as she was about to strike again, a sharp sword qi flew from behind her and hit the white ape.

It didn’t hurt the Rocksteel King Ape, but it made its shoulder jerk backward.

Ah Ling was puzzled by the sudden attack. Before she turned around, she heard the sound of horse hooves.

Then two more gaseous flying swords appeared, stabbing directly at the ape’s eyes.

They were so fast that they almost seamlessly followed the previous attack.

But the Rocksteel King Ape reacted instantly. The next moment, a layer of white spiritual power covered its eyes.

Boom!

An explosion rang out. The gaseous flying swords aimed at its eyes detonated right in front of them.

Although protected by spiritual power, its eyes were still injured. They were its weakest point. It covered its eyes and let out a furious roar.

Yueyao appeared in the sight of Ah Ling and Linghu’er, riding the Icefire Jade Qilin Horse.

Confusion flickered in Ah Ling’s eyes.

She didn’t know why Yueyao was there. Was it part of the young master’s plan?

Actually, Yueyao didn’t know exactly what was happening. As soon as she entered the valley, she was drawn by the sounds of battle.

She sensed something was wrong and rushed over. The moment she arrived, she saw the Rocksteel King Ape charging at Linghu’er.

Looking at the little bird in Linghu’er’s arms, she seemed to understand.

Hmph.

Without a second word, she acted. After contracting the Icefire Jade Qilin Horse, she had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm using the spiritual power transferred through the contract.

She knew she was no match for the white ape, but with Ah Ling here, they could hold it off together and give Linghu’er a chance to escape.

Roar!

The enraged white ape let out a sky-shaking roar. The pressure of a king beast radiated outward.

Thump! Thump!

Then two extremely powerful heartbeats reached everyone’s ears.

Linghu’er’s expression shifted slightly.

She knew the white ape was getting serious.

Heroic Blood!

That was the Rocksteel King Ape clan’s innate ability.

It could greatly increase strength and speed, and a ring of energy would encircle its body.

The Rocksteel King Ape before them was a great demon at the mid Void Grotto Realm. After activating Heroic Blood, it could fight at the Mahayana level.

Thump!

After activating its innate ability, the Rocksteel King Ape stomped the ground. The earth cracked instantly, and a massive burst of pure energy exploded from its body.

Even though Ah Ling tried to defend herself, she was blasted away.

Then the Rocksteel King Ape’s legs pushed off violently, launching its massive body into the air and leaping straight toward the cave entrance.

Its mission was to guard this place. With such a commotion at the entrance, it knew something was wrong.

Seeing the human emerge carrying a child of Gengjin Liesparrow, it realized it had been tricked by a diversion.

Now, the furious Rocksteel King Ape only wanted to tear the cunning human in front of it to pieces.

After confirming the king’s safety, it would deal with the annoying ones.
