Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

262 You Have To Pay The Price Of Life And Death To Win

Aloy nodded her head. She then looked at Shen Fei’s back and asked, “Shen Fei, how did you get injured?”

As soon as she said that, the green demonic pearl emitted a green light, and a huge claw mark appeared on Shen Fei’s back.

Wu Tianhao and Aloy were shocked! They had never thought that Shen Fei would be able to withstand a single blow from the Green Wolf without looking injured.

Shen Fei gave a small smile as he explained, “The Green Wolf’s attack was too powerful, and worsened my injuries. But it doesn’t matter, I’ll recover soon.”

!!

Hearing this, Aloy still stared at the claw marks on Shen Fei’s back worriedly. However, Shen Fei did not seem to take it to heart. He lightly patted his chest a few times, then turned his head and smiled at her. “I’ve already recovered from the most serious ones, so there’s no need to worry.”

However, the butler of the mayor’s mansion said again, “Next, everyone will follow me to the main hall to have your meal. There will be an even more severe challenge waiting for everyone.”

“Alright, let’s go!” The moment they heard that they could go eat, everyone cheered and ran to the main hall of the mayor’s mansion.

…

Soon, the crowd arrived at the main hall. At this moment, thousands of people had already gathered in the main hall—they were all guards of the mayor’s mansion.

“I pay my respects to the Lord Mayor!”

“Greetings to the mayor!”

The guards of the mayor’s mansion saluted in unison. Upon seeing this, Shen Fei and the others followed suit and paid their respects, “I pay my respects to the Lord Mayor!”

“Alright, everyone, please take a seat!” The mayor smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down. “Everyone has worked hard. I have specially prepared some delicious food for everyone. I hope you will all enjoy it!”

“Thank you, mayor. Let’s dig in!”

“Everyone, do as you please!”

A burst of lively sounds echoed throughout the hall as everyone began to eat.

Edward walked to his seat in the hall. “Shen Fei, Aloy, come over for a moment, you two.”

Hearing this, the two youths looked at each other before they walked to Edward.

“Father, what did you call us for?” Aloy looked at Edward in confusion.

“My dear daughter, Shen Fei, I want to tell you that the following tests will be extremely dangerous. I hope the two of you can remain vigilant. As for how dangerous it will be, I’m not sure. I’m just reminding you not to overwork yourselves,” Edward warned.

Hearing this, Aloy and Shen Fei looked at each other again and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

“I’ll try my best to ensure that the two of you leave safely,” said Edward.

“Father, do not worry. We’ll work hard to complete the competition,” Aloy said with utmost seriousness.

“Alright, you may go back to your meal!” Edward said.

“Yes, father.” Shen Fei and Aloy bowed together before they retreated.

“Those two brats are really stubborn!” The mayor sighed as he watched their backs.

“Lord Mayor, you do not have to worry too much. We believe that Shen Fei and the others will be able to smoothly pass this trial,” the butler said.

“Ah, I hope so, but…” Edward spoke with deep worry between his brows.

…

Shen Fei and Aloy returned to the main hall. But upon their return, everyone’s gazes fell on Shen Fei and Aloy, and their attitudes toward Shen Fei became relatively cold.

Shen Fei could not help but feel a little surprised, but he understood. In the eyes of these people, he was not worthy of Aloy. In everyone’s hearts, she was their empress!

At this moment, Aloy looked at Shen Fei with a smile. “Shen Fei, I realized that you’re getting more and more handsome.”

Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. “I find that you’re becoming more and more infatuated.”

“I’m not, I’m just telling the truth!” Aloy said, miffed.

Shen Fei shrugged and said, “Alright, to tell you the truth, no matter how much you praise me, I can’t bring myself to believe that you really like me!”

Aloy immediately became anxious when she heard this. “Hey, Shen Fei, what do you mean by that? Could it be that I’m not even worth a speck in your heart?”

Seeing Aloy’s expression, Shen Fei could not help but shake his head.

“Shen Fei, you should say something!” Aloy said anxiously.

“Ahem, Aloy, let’s discuss the next challenge! The mayor specifically warned us about the next one,” Shen Fei said.

“…Fine. What should we do?” Aloy asked.

“I suspect the next mission will be to capture some spirit beasts,” Shen Fei said. “Only by taming them will we be able to smoothly complete the task.”

Hearing this, Aloy nodded. She understood what Shen Fei meant.

“However, taming a spirit beast is very difficult, so you’d better be on your guard,” Shen Fei said.

“I know that.” Aloy had a look of understanding.

…

Soon, three hours had passed. At this moment, Mayor Edward walked out with the guards of the mayor’s mansion.

“Now, we shall assign the next task. Everyone, do not be nervous. Just show your strength. We shall be quietly observing you all,” Edward said as he looked at the crowd.

Then, a cold smile appeared on the mayor’s face. He spoke loudly next, “This year, there are not only disciples from the four great families, but also some disciples from the reclusive families. I hope that everyone can perform well and win honor!”

Hearing this, the crowd could not help but burst into shouts of agreement. They all looked into the distance, their gazes full of fire.

“Mayor, do not worry, I won’t let you down!” a handsome man in purple clothes roared arrogantly with eyes full of confidence.

Hearing this, Edward nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, then let us begin!”

“Yes, Lord Mayor!” Everyone shouted in unison, their voices deafening.

“Alright, I’ll introduce the rules. This time, each group will challenge five exotic beasts and receive five crystal coins upon winning. Of course, these exotic beasts are all very strong, and you have to pay the price of life and death to win.

“During this period of time, if anyone is eliminated, then you will forever lose the right to participate in this beast taming ceremony again.”

...

Edward paused for dramatic effect at this point, then continued, “Of course, if anyone wishes to back out now, then I will directly strip him of his qualification for the state assessment.”

At this, everyone could not help but whisper among themselves.

“It seems that the beast taming ceremony is basically going to be our state assessment, and this time, it’s quite brutal. We might even have to sacrifice our lives.”

“That’s right. If anyone dares disobey the mayor’s orders, I fear that that person would get killed in the next second.”
