Beastmaster

At this time, a huge black and red lion was running quickly towards the west.

And on the lion's head were two young figures sitting.

"Cangming, how long will it take us to get there?" Yan Yuxiao asked Jing Cangming with her big watery eyes.

"It's almost there. At this speed, we'll be there in about two days," Jing Cangming looked at the other party with a smile.

"Okay," Yan Yuxiao said and went to the side to practice.

Xiaoyi's back was like a big platform, allowing him to find a place to practice.

Jing Cangming sat on Xiaoyi's head and started practicing, as if it was his exclusive seat.

Two days later...

The journey was smooth and no unexpected incidents occurred.

The two also arrived at Huangjiang Village smoothly.

At this time, a member of the guard team ran to the altar and shouted, "Village Chief! Everyone! Jing Cangming is back!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately put down their work and ran to the village entrance to greet him.

Seeing this, Jing Cangming took Xiaoyi back into the world ring. The two of them floated down from the sky and walked towards the crowd. Everyone rushed forward and instantly surrounded the two of them in the center of the crowd.

Fang Tiankuo leaned over to Zhan Yongyi's ear and whispered, "Yongyi, why did Cang Ming bring a girl back?"

Zhan Yongyi rolled his eyes and said, "How about you go out and bring one back too?"

Seeing this, Fang Tiankuo patted him on the shoulder and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the villagers nearby also started discussing with each other.

Jing Cangming's parents also looked at each other and then smiled.

On the other hand, the old village chief was different from the others. He was so happy, "Haha, boy, you're promising. You went out of the village and brought back a girlfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming and Yan Yuxiao both staggered, then looked at each other awkwardly, and then they realized that both of them blushed because of the village chief's words.

Jing Cangming quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, it's not the village chief, this is a friend I met in the Western Continent."

Yan Yuxiao didn't explain much, but just nodded slightly and stood behind Jing Cangming.

The old village chief didn't say much, but his face was still filled with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Longying." Longying stretched out her hand with a smile and looked at Yan Yuxiao.

Yan Yuxiao was as nervous as if she was meeting her parents. She slowly held her hand and said, "Hello, Sister Longying, my name is Yan Yuxiao."

Longying's action eased the embarrassment between the two.

The old village chief said at this time, "Okay, as long as you are back safely, let's go back to the village first."

"Hmm," Jing Cangming said, and then everyone rushed into the village.

When he entered the village this time, Jing Cangming was surprised.

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and landing on roofs, the war beasts were almost everywhere in the village.

Jing Cangming turned his head and looked at Zhan Yongyi beside him, "Yongyi? Are these all Phoenix's affiliated war beasts?"

Zhan Yongyi shook his head and said, “Not entirely. Some of them are also the appendages of the Goshawk.”

Jing Cangming nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Fang Tiankuo, "Kuokuo, this is for you."

Jing Cangming took out a red object from his worldly ring and threw it to Fang Tiankuo.

Fang Tiankuo took it with both hands and asked, "What is this?" Then he looked down at the thing in his hand and said, "Holy crap, a worldly ring? For me?"

Jing Cangming smiled and said, "Why would I throw it to you if I don't want to give it to you? Wait until we defeat the Tiger Beast Village and then go back to Longyue Village to get Sister Longying's. Now you will be left without any worldly rings, right?"

Fang Tiankuo looked at the red ring in his hand lovingly, and then put it on the middle finger of his left hand.

From the moment the ring was put on the finger, it began to adjust its appearance according to Fang Tiankuo's strongest attribute. Gradually, the red color was replaced by khaki, the original flame pattern turned into an uneven rock, and the small animal head on the ring turned into the shape of a sandstone dragon.

Fang Tiankuo looked at the ring on his hand lovingly, turning it left and right.

Jing Cangming looked at Fang Tiankuo and felt very satisfied.

Afterwards, Jing Cangming talked with his parents for a few words, and the children followed the village chief home.

Inside the village chief's house, an old man and five children sat at a round table.

In the middle is the old village chief. Starting from the right hand side of the old village chief, there are Jing Cangming, Yan Yuxiao, Long Ying, Fang Tiankuo, and Zhan Yongyi.

"Cangming, tell me what you experienced during this trip, whether you found the master's secret book, and why this little girl followed you back to the village," the old village chief raised his hand, pointed at Yan Yuxiao, and looked at Jing Cangming kindly.

Jing Cangming also took some time to recount every single thing that happened during this trip, of course, excluding the matter of the Dragon Girl.

For some reason, he felt that it would be better not to let anyone know this news before he had his own power.

Jing Cangming's words shocked everyone present except Yan Yuxiao.

"I didn't expect that after going out for a stroll, not only did I become a mid-level master, but I also brought back a beautiful female beast general! I'm so envious," Fang Tiankuo pouted with envy.

Upon hearing this, Longying said angrily, "Tsk, if you had Cangming's strength and charm, you would go too."

Fang Tiankuo pouted, turned his head away and stopped looking at Longying.

This action caused everyone to laugh.

After the laughter, Zhan Yongyi looked at the world ring in his hand, "Cang Ming, can you help me upgrade the ring as well?" Zhan Yongyi asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, and this one of mine!" Fang Tiankuo also quickly agreed.

Jing Cangming then looked at the two of them and said, "Of course you can, but I, Tiankuo, have upgraded on the way back. There should be rocky areas and blazing fire areas in your world ring now. Although the original owner's war beasts have not returned to the world ring, you should still be careful when you go in. I have seen that there are quite a few war beasts derived from it."

Zhan Yongyi took the world ring in his hand and handed it to Jing Cangming. Jing Cangming did not hesitate and upgraded it immediately. After about half an hour, the ring changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, the frost patterns on the ring became deeper, the phoenix head grew larger, and tiny feathers grew on it.

After the upgrade was completed, Jing Cangming threw the ring to Zhan Yongyi, "Okay, take it."

Zhan Yongyi put the ring back on his hand and savored the upgraded world ring carefully.

"Okay, you two, wait a while before going into the Death Ring to take a look. I'll be guarding it for you. Now tell me about the situation of the attached war beasts."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Yongyi spoke first, "Okay, now Phoenix has nearly a hundred war beasts under its command, and the ratio of flying beasts to reptiles is 3:1. They are generally around level , and have now been distributed to the soldiers of the guard team."

Jing Cangming nodded slightly.

Then Longying spoke up, "There are now more than twenty subordinate war beasts of the Goshawk. All of them have been screened. They are all flying beasts, and they are all around level ten."

Jing Cangming slammed the table and said, "Okay, that means we now have about 120 war beasts, about 100 flying beasts, and 20 reptiles, right?"

Upon hearing this, several people nodded in unison.

The old village chief said worriedly, "It is known that there are 1,600 people in Tiger Beast Village. Each person has a war beast, which is about 1,600 in total. We can match them in terms of numbers. With Yu Xiao joining the beast general team, we can crush the opponent. But the most difficult thing now is the number of war beasts. There are less than 20 days left. Where can we find 1,500 war beasts? Even if you are a precept master, it is impossible for you to summon so many at once!"

Jing Cangming held the old village chief's hand and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry, we are here, nothing will be a problem."

The old village chief looked at Jing Cangming's confident eyes and felt a little ashamed. He didn't say anything more and stood up to leave.

"Grandpa, where are you going?" Jing Cangming and others asked hurriedly.

The old village chief did not look back. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. After a while, he looked back at the few people and smiled, "Children, from today on, Jing Cangming will be the acting village chief. I am old, and from now on, the world will be yours." After saying that, the old village chief walked out of his house without looking back.

A few people were left in the room in shock, and then everyone looked at Jing Cangming at the same time.

Jing Cangming felt indescribable feeling in his heart at this moment, but he recovered quickly.

He turned his head to look at Yan Yuxiao and gave an awkward smile, "Yuxiao, now you know how dangerous it is to stay with me. You'd better leave early tomorrow morning."

Yan Yuxiao was obviously sad when she heard Jing Cangming's words, but then she kicked Jing Cangming with a determined look.

The kick was not light and it knocked Jing Cangming off the stool.

Several people just watched, and everyone offered to help, because they all knew that Yan Yuxiao was angry about what Jing Cangming said.

Yan Yuxiao stood up, walked to Jing Cangming and squatted down, her face gloomy, and stretched out her left hand to grab Jing Cangming's collar.

Jing Cangming was stunned instantly, "Yuxiao, what are you doing..."

"Shut up!" Yan Yuxiao shouted, "Jing Cangming, did I ever tell you that I want to follow you?"

Jing Cangming nodded his head like a rattle, "I said..."

"Then did I ever tell you that you have to take me with you wherever you go?!"

Jing Cangming nodded faster, "Yeah, I said it, I said it."

Then Yan Yuxiao pulled Jing Cangming's collar towards her, her eyes cold and serious, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll tell you one more thing today! Unless you or I die! Otherwise, you are not allowed to let me go, and you are not allowed to leave me!"

Even if Jing Cangming didn't understand the relationship between men and women, after hearing what Yan Yuxiao said, he understood that this little girl had developed some feelings for him that were not just friends.

Then Jing Cangming slowly sat up, but Yan Yuxiao still didn't let go of him, "Yuxiao, it's really dangerous to follow me. You come from an aristocratic family, you shouldn't live in our world, you have more..."

Pah!!! Before Jing Cangming could finish his words, Yan Yuxiao slapped him in the face, and instantly a vivid five-finger mark appeared on his face.

This frightened the three people present. They stood up consciously and walked towards the door with their necks shrunk.

Longying whispered, "It's over. Cangming will have a hard time in the future..."

Zhan Yongyi and Fang Tiankuo showed obvious fear in their eyes, and nodded in agreement, "Well... let's go."

Yan Yuxiao's face darkened, she gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I'll give you one more chance to organize your words!"

At this moment, Jing Cangming was like a sheep seeing a wolf. He kept shrinking back and said, "Unless...unless you or I die! Otherwise...otherwise...otherwise I will never let you go and never leave you!" Jing Cangming was almost crying.

The slap from the beast general should not be underestimated, it really hurts!

Hearing Jing Cangming say these words and seeing how well behaved he was, Yan Yuxiao reached out to rub Jing Cangming's face.

Jing Cangming thought he was going to be slapped again, so he quickly retracted his neck.

Yan Yuxiao stared with wide eyes, "Huh?"

Then Jing Cangming stopped hiding and closed his eyes tightly.

But there was no slap on the face, but a cool feeling came over me.

Yan Yuxiao rubbed Jing Cangming's face with her cold little hands, "Okay, stand up, you haven't arranged the next steps yet~" Yan Yuxiao smiled gently, there was no trace of the momentum from before, it was clearly two people.

Jing Cangming slowly stood up and looked around, "Damn! Where are they!"

Yan Yuxiao called out gently to the door, "Sister Longying, Brother Yongyi, Brother Tiankuo, Cangming is calling you in~"

There was no movement. After a while, three people came in, supporting each other. "Haha, Sister Yuxiao has finished her housework, so we can come in now," Fang Tiankuo said nervously with a fake smile on his face.

Yan Yuxiao blushed when Fang Tiankuo said that she was dealing with her family background. Then she lowered her head and waved to the others, "Come in quickly~"

Jing Cangming's face also blushed, but only half of his face was red.

Several people sat back in their seats, with their backs straight, heads lowered, and their bodies sitting stiffly.

Jing Cangming wiped the tears from his face with both hands, exhaled, and looked at everyone with a smile, "Haha~ Brothers and sisters, don't tell anyone!"

Several people looked at Jing Cangming and nodded repeatedly. No one could have imagined that such a talented and powerful man could be so subdued by a little girl.

Jing Cangming walked to the front of the table and looked at Yan Yuxiao with some fear. He sniffed his nose, exhaled, and looked around, "Huh~ Since we are brothers and sisters in the future, I don't think it's necessary to hide the matter of talent."

Then he pointed at Yan Yuxiao. Yan Yuxiao glared at him. Jing Cangming felt a shock all over his body and quickly turned his fingers into palms.

Then he adjusted his breathing and said, "This is Yan Yuxiao, a level 20 beastmaster, with six attributes, and the same age as me."

The three of them all gasped when they heard this.

Next, Jing Cangming started to introduce them one by one starting with Longying, "Longying, the oldest among us is eighteen years old, without the half-life attribute, a seventeenth-level beast boy, Zhan Yongyi, a dual-attribute companion, an eighteenth-level beast boy, the same age as me, Fang Tiankuo, a earth-attribute companion, a tenth-level beast boy, the same age as me".

Although everyone had seen each other during the day, no one had really gotten to know each other.

Yan Yuxiao looked up at everyone and said, "Hello brothers and sisters, from now on, wherever Jing Cangming is, I will be there, and I will stand by him forever." These few simple words showed what Yan Yuxiao was thinking.

But at this moment, no one knew what Yan Yuxiao was thinking, "Jing Cangming, no matter whether you are the person my mother is looking for or not, I will follow you."

After hearing this, several people quickly responded, "Haha, with Yu Xiao joining us, we have a better chance of winning the battle against Tiger Beast Village!"
