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

239 It’s Nothing, Don’t Mention It

Moreover, what kind of accident could she have met on Mount Xiaoyao?

Shen Fei felt something was not right.

Shen Fei looked at the girl and asked, “You’re injured. You need treatment. Otherwise, it’ll be too dangerous for you.”

“I don’t need it,” the girl said coldly.

!!

Shen Fei frowned. “You’re on the verge of collapsing. If you don’t get medical treatment in time, you’ll die! You really don’t want to consider it?”

“There’s no need,” the girl refused coldly. “I’m fine!”

Shen Fei sighed in exasperation. “Alright, since you insist, I have no other choice.”

He turned around and was about to leave when the girl suddenly called out to him.

“Hey!” the girl shouted.

Shen Fei stood still, but he turned his head to look back at her. The girl struggled to sit up and bowed to Shen Fei. “Thank you,” she said. The girl’s movements were very stiff.

Shen Fei waved his hand and lightly said, “It’s nothing, don’t mention.”

“You can call me Ye Fei,” the girl said.

“Ye Fei?” Shen Fei muttered. He searched for information related to Ye Fei in his memory, but found nothing. He had no impression of Ye Fei and was not even familiar with the name.

Shen Fei looked at Ye Fei with a puzzled expression. “Why did you attack me?”

Logically speaking, the two of them had never met before, so Ye Fei should not know him. However, Ye Fei’s sudden appearance here, and her attack on him, was obviously unusual.

Ye Fei’s expression was ice-cold as she stared at Shen Fei. “Because you stole my things.”

“…What?” Shen Fei was shocked, but he immediately shook his head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He had indeed never done such a thing.

Ye Fei’s eyes narrowed, and her voice was clear. “Don’t play dumb. I wanted to form a contract with one of the spirit beasts in Mount Xiaoyao, but you killed them all.”

Shen Fei finally understood. ‘So it’s about that.’ He heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, “You’ve misunderstood. That was just an accident.”

Ye Fei snorted coldly. “Hmph! Don’t lie to me! Even if it was an accident, you still snatched a potential spirit beast contract from me. Give it back!”

‘Contract?’ Shen Fei was even more confused. He had never even heard of such a thing. Shen Fei looked at Ye Fei and asked, “What do you want?”

Ye Fei took a deep breath and said, “Unless you promise to help me contract a spirit beast, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Shen Fei was speechless. He felt like he had been unjustly attacked for no reason.

‘I clearly didn’t do anything. Moreover, this girl’s strength is definitely too weak.’

“I’m sorry, I can’t fulfil your wish.” Shen Fei shook his head and walked toward the entrance of his next target location—the cave ahead.

“You…!” Ye Fei glared at Shen Fei’s back, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists.

Her gaze became determined. After a moment of silence, she suddenly rushed in front of Shen Fei and blocked his path.

Shen Fei looked at Ye Fei in front of him and shouted, “Kindly get out of the way!”

Ye Fei raised her head and looked at Shen Fei with a stubborn gaze. “You must help me today!”

“Excuse me.” Shen Fei’s voice was devoid of emotion, and his entire body emitted a killing aura that would terrify anyone.

Ye Fei sneered, not backing down. “I won’t let you leave.”

The two of them stared each other down, and if their gazes could burn, there would be the smell of smoke in the air.

Eventually, Shen Fei let out a long sigh. He hated girls who pestered him the most. So, he stepped forward and reached out to grab Ye Fei’s neck. A trace of panic and fear flashed through Ye Fei’s eyes, but she still stood there stubbornly, not dodging or avoiding his hand.

However, at that moment, a few urgent and shrill sounds came from the distance, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing chirps. A group of black dots were rapidly approaching. All of a sudden, they landed around Shen Fei and Ye Fei.

They opened their mouths and let out a series of hoarse and unpleasant cries, “Gurgle, gurgle!”

Their wings flapped, and their sharp beaks glowed with a dark blue light. They probably contained poison.

These flying creatures were giant bats, and each of them were the size of a basketball. They were huge and hideous. At this moment, they were all glaring at him with their blood-red eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Fei’s expression turned serious. He could sense that these bats were strong.

“What the hell is this?” Shen Fei asked with a frown.

“This is the group of Devil Bats that I’ve tamed for several months,” Ye Fei said proudly.

‘Devil Bats?’ Shen Fei’s frown deepened.

“Aren’t you afraid?” Ye Fei saw Shen Fei’s calm appearance and was a little curious. His calmness surprised her.

“Hehe, you mean these Devil Bats?” Shen Fei sneered. “I was still thinking how powerful they were. But they’re only just so-so.”

Ye Fei was stunned. ‘This guy actually dares to look down on my Devil Bats?’

Shen Fei glanced at Ye Fei with disdain, then looked at the surrounding Devil Bats and said indifferently, “Since you’ve brought them, let them come face me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground trembled, and the trees, sand, and stones fell. Seeing this, Ye Fei’s expression changed. She cried out in alarm and immediately retreated. Meanwhile, a large number of Devil Bats appeared beside Shen Fei. They were numerous, and densely packed.

The swarm of Devil Bats let out a series of shrill screeches, and then covered the sky as they flew at Shen Fei like a swarm of locusts.

Shen Fei stood there with an emotionless face.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” he called out.

The Flame Owl appeared and its red feathers were covered with a layer of blazing fire. The scarlet heat wave swept through the surroundings. It flapped its wings and rose into the air. It then expanded its body and suddenly turned into a ferocious bird that was three hundred meters wide

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl let out a high-pitched screech, its body exuded blazing heat as it swooped down with monstrous power.

The group of Devil Bats immediately stopped moving. They stared at the Flame Owl in the air in fear and shivered.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl cried again, opening its mouth and spitting out a ball of extremely hot flames. The ball of flames carried a destructive force that swept across the wilderness and bombarded the center of the Devil Bats group.

...

With a loud bang, the entire group of Devil Bats exploded, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The raging flames had burned up to a hundred Devil Bats.

Shen Fei nodded his head in satisfaction. This Flame Owl had reached the primordial heaven realm.

Ye Fei was already scared out of her wits. She stared at the scene in front of her in a daze and took a long time to recover from her shock. She had never thought that The Devil Bat that she had raised for so long would be subdued in one strike.

At the same time, she was filled with respect for Shen Fei. She never expected this ordinary-looking man to have such terrifying strength. Not only that, but this young man had such a powerful spirit beast. It was incredible.

Ye Fei slowly retracted her gaze, turned around, and walked toward Shen Fei.

“Big brother, I was too reckless just now. Please don’t take it to heart,” Ye Fei apologised respectfully. At the same time, she took out five low-grade spirit stones from her storage ring and passed them to Shen Fei.
