Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

The young beast was clearly still young and unaware of the danger. It tilted its head and cautiously approached, its golden eyes curiously observing him. The distance between the two was only two or three steps.

King Xixiang had worked hard all day, ending up battered and bruised, without even catching a glimpse of a beast cub. Unexpectedly, one of them delivered itself right to his doorstep.

His eyes gleamed, revealing hidden excitement and a sense of certainty.

However, the hardships he had suffered before had made him much more cautious. Although it was a small cub that looked fluffy and posed no threat, it was still a strange beast, and its bloodline was different from that of ordinary spirit beasts.

So he didn't act rashly. Instead, he calmed his expression, carefully took out a small ball from his sleeve, and gently rolled it in front of him to attract the cub's attention.

The cub's gaze was immediately drawn to the ball, and it tilted its head and tentatively took another step forward.

King Xixiang was secretly delighted. He gestured the small ball towards the cub again and asked in an unusually gentle voice, "Want to play?"

Yun Feng blinked, looking at the clearly ill-intentioned King Xi.

This person was trying to trick him into going there.

Although she was full of cunning, Yun Feng still appeared innocent and naive. She feigned a mixture of fear and curiosity, taking two steps forward and then one step back, her round eyes fixed on the small ball not far from the King of the West. She clearly liked the ball, but was also very cautious, unwilling to approach it easily.

King Xixiang glanced at the small ball not far away; it was certainly no ordinary ball.

He secretly investigated Qianjin Tower, carrying only magical artifacts and treasures.

This little ball may look inconspicuous, but it is actually a protective shield that can withstand attacks. He didn't have anything on him that could attract the cubs, so he could only take this out to try.

Surprisingly, this little one actually took a liking to it.

Never mind, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

King Xixiang glanced at the doorway. The cub had unknowingly been lured into the house; it was now practically his for the taking.

Thinking this, King Xixiang casually rolled the small ball in front of the cub and said, "If you like it, you can play with it."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the cub's reaction, waiting for the cub to go play with the ball so he could seize the opportunity to catch it.

But he was observing Yun Feng, and Yun Feng was also observing him.

Young cubs are always very sensitive to human presence. They may not be able to read people's minds, but they can sense whether someone is friendly or dangerous through their presence.

Just like when they first met Xu Lingguang in the Ailao Mountains, the cubs could sense that he was not dangerous, which is why they dared to steal food.

Now, the cubs can sense a strong threat from the King of the West.

Yun Feng twitched its ears, cautiously waving its paws toward the small ball while secretly observing the reaction of the King of the West.

Sure enough, as she bent down to pick up the small ball, the person behind her tensed up and their breathing became restless and rapid. Without thinking, Yun Feng instantly appeared behind the King of the West.

This is a game the kids often played in the Ailao Mountains, to see who could go the fastest.

Yunfeng is usually the winning cub, and her reaction speed is very fast.

As she appeared behind the King of the West, he reached out to grab her. But she reacted too quickly. The moment the King of the West made his move, she had already flashed behind him. Then, she delivered two heavy blows to the King of the West, who had missed his target, and ran away without hesitation.

Queen Xixiang felt a sharp pain in her neck and realized that she had been tricked by a tiny cub!

His face immediately turned extremely ugly, but by this time the cub was nowhere to be seen in the house. Not only was the cub gone, but his magic weapon was also gone!

King Xixiang was naturally unwilling to let the cub escape so easily, and was even more furious that such a small cub dared to play tricks on him, so he immediately chased after it.

Yun Feng hadn't gone far; she still remembered the task Sui Chun had assigned her.

After leaving the house, Yu Rong followed. She threw the stolen treasure to Yu Rong, then turned back, grabbed the eaves with both paws, and dangled outside the window, showing a smug and provocative expression to the Prince of Xi.

He even returned the words of the Western Prime Minister to him: "Was it fun?"

King Xixiang was surprised to find that the little cub had developed intelligence and could even speak human language. He was even more determined to win it over.

If such a sentient beast inherits the bloodline of an ancient race, its value is immeasurable.

Ignoring the cub's provocation, the King of the West quickly chased after it.

But while he moved quickly, Yun Feng moved even faster.

She swept by like a gust of wind; one moment she was right in front of you, and the next she was already far away.

Even with the cultivation level of the Western King, he couldn't catch up with him and could only catch a wisp of his afterimage.

Unfortunately, this cub had an extremely wicked personality. It seemed to be deliberately teasing him, running away and then deliberately turning back to arrogantly make some mocking and provocative expressions at him.

However, it was precisely because of this that King Xixiang did not lose the cub.

That's perfect. This little one is very playful. As long as she doesn't hide, and the King of the West has enough patience, the time to catch her will come when she gets tired of running around.

The two of them chased each other around the Star Crossing Tower.

Just as King Xixiang had predicted, although the cub was fast, it was still young and ran out of energy after a while, and its speed slowed down significantly. King Xixiang almost caught it several times.

Just as they were about to catch the cub again, it suddenly leaped forward and cried out, "Yu Rong!"

The cub slipped away from his grasp again. King Xixiang chased after it, but was violently struck by a gust of wind that suddenly appeared from the side.

When he regained his footing, he saw that the gust of wind that had bumped into him was actually another cub. The previous cub had disappeared, but the two cubs looked very similar except for their different fur colors and patterns, and were obviously cubs of the same species.

There were two of them.

The King of the West's eyes flickered. His original caution and rationality had been blinded by this enormous temptation. He thought that if he caught one, the other would surely walk into his trap as well.

Without hesitation, he took out a gold-threaded cage and threw it to Yu Rong.

The golden cage grew longer with the wind, descending from above like a net, determined to capture the little beast.

But Yu Rong was no pushover either. The little horn on his back flashed, and the next instant, the entire cub vanished into thin air, appearing outside the range of the golden cage. Then it ran towards the courtyard, seemingly preparing to leave the Star Crossing Tower and hide somewhere else.

When the Western King's first move failed, he naturally couldn't just sit idly by and watch it escape, so he decisively gave chase.

As Yu Rong ran, he kept looking back. After confirming that the King of the West was catching up, he raised his head and let out a howl to warn Sui Chun and Zhao Ling, who were hiding in the tree.

He lured the thief here!
