Chapter 250: Chapter 248: Ancient Divine Beast
Lin Yi was increasingly convinced that the woman before him, Ying Yi, was truly enigmatic.
At the same time, he also secretly guessed that this girl must be extremely beautiful.
Although her face was mostly concealed, just from those spirited eyes alone, it was clear that she was a beauty.
Especially her figure, which was incredibly sultry, curvy in the right places, bulging where it should.
And Lin Yi had a feeling that he absolutely couldn’t control himself.
That’s why, when Ying Yi spoke those words, Lin Yi’s heart leaped with inexplicable joy.
At the same time, he really wished to fulfill her request.
However, his excitement was fully perceived by the young Emperor, not missing a single detail.
This made the Emperor’s eyes immediately pop, and inwardly he cursed Lin Yi thoroughly.
This damn fellow was always thinking about these sorts of things.
Actually not even sparing Ying Yi.
But Ying Yi, too, really… popping up at this time, wasn’t she making things difficult for herself?
He wanted to reprimand her to leave, but since she was considering his interests, it would not be good to put it that way.
Yet, if he remained silent, this was just too embarrassingly awkward.
Especially since he did not want a repeat of today’s incident.
If, while he was competing with that scoundrel, this girl ran down, where would he put his face as the Emperor?
Thinking this, the young Emperor suddenly had a clever idea.
“Indeed, Ying Yi makes a good point. Since that’s the case, let Ying Yi try it out first.”
Lin Yi had already been wildly thrilled, and unexpectedly, the young Emperor made such a divine assist with his statement.
It was like a stroke of genius; as soon as the Emperor spoke, Lin Yi’s entire body couldn’t help but shiver.
Of course, it was not a shiver from fear, but from excitement.
He had never expected that, originally just wanting to gift the Emperor an Ancient Divine Beast, the White Tiger, out of nowhere another challenger appeared.
Now Ying Yi emerged, making him suddenly have to give away two Divine Beasts.
But he was not a petty man; since she wanted it, he would give it.
Especially after seeing Ying Yi’s determined gaze and the Emperor’s almost-smiling eyes behind her, Lin Yi couldn’t wait even a moment longer.
Although he was eager inside, he could not show it on his face.
He was, after all, a gentleman of integrity; it was not he who wanted to do this, but she who pleaded with him repeatedly.
Observing the reluctant expression on Lin Yi’s face and hearing his inwardly contradictory words, the young Emperor directly picked up an object and threw it at Lin Yi:
“You scoundrel, still hesitating here, what are you waiting for? Get to it quickly!”
Lin Yi instinctively reached out and caught the Hidden Weapon thrown by the Emperor.
Upon closer inspection, he put it to his nose and sniffed lightly.
Instantly, he was filled with a faint fragrance:
“Hey, hey, hey. No fair launching a sneak attack like that, and using a Hidden Weapon at that!
Besides, can’t you use something clean?
Look, it even got straw on it.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi stretched out a hand to pick up the bent straw sticking to it and waved it in front of the Emperor and Ying Yi.
And with that one gesture, the Emperor immediately widened his eyes, his face flushing with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
Seeing this, Lin Yi naturally knew that if he kept teasing, the young Emperor would explode any second now.
He immediately chuckled smugly, then took advantage of the situation to stuff the object the little Emperor had used to hit him into his clothes by his side.
This action instantly infuriated the little Emperor to the point of steaming anger. She intended to scold him to return the object, but before she could speak, Lin Yi had already begun to act with a cheerful grin.
“Since you wish to test it on Your Majesty’s behalf, then wait over there.
However, I must speak plainly. If you want this Divine Beast, then you’ll have to show me the Cultivation Secret Realm.
Let’s see if this Secret Realm is truly suitable for raising such a Divine Beast.”
After these words, Ying Yi’s ears, which had just calmed down, flared up red again.
At this moment, she seemed to have guessed something, but at this point, the little Emperor had already spoken.
Thus, even if Ying Yi wanted to back out, it was already too late.
Still unwilling to give up, Ying Yi turned her head and fixed her gaze on the little Emperor.
Her eyes were filled with hopeful expectation, longing for the little Emperor to speak on her behalf.
However, when the little Emperor saw her gaze, she pretends to look away as if she hadn’t seen anything.
But in her heart, she snorted coldly:
“Hmph. What are you doing jumping out at this time?
Isn’t this just making it impossible for me to step down gracefully?
If that’s the case, then don’t blame me.
Though today, this rascal has gotten the better deal.
But, doing so is not without its benefits.
At the very least, it ties Ying Yi to my ship.
Should this matter get out, she surely won’t have an easy time dealing with the consequences.”
This was the little Emperor’s thought process. Otherwise, why would she let Lin Yi do such a thing?
She knew what it meant to do so.
Seeing that asking the little Emperor for help was futile, Ying Yi clenched her teeth in resignation.
She then looked toward Lin Yi and said through gritted teeth, each word enunciated with deliberate pause:
“Be quicker with your actions, and mind your eyes, or else… Hmph!”
While saying this, Ying Yi’s gaze was fixed unyieldingly on Lin Yi.
Under such a gaze, Lin Yi also felt quite uncomfortable.
He always felt her gaze was as chilling as a block of ice.
Of course, Lin Yi was not one to admit defeat. Stimulated by her piercing look, his temper flared up in an instant.
He ignored her icy scrutiny and forcefully proceeded to where her Secret Realm was located.
Not only that, but he also re-gripped the sharp dagger in his hand, intending to thoroughly examine if the lady’s Cultivation Secret Realm was suitable for rearing a Divine Beast.
However, at the next moment, as he looked at Ying Yi’s Cultivation Secret Realm, Lin Yi was completely stunned on the spot.
The little Emperor, seeing Lin Yi’s hesitance to make a move, also frowned.
But before she could urge him on, she saw Lin Yi gulp.
He then shifted his gaze upward, looking into Ying Yi’s cold yet slightly misty eyes.
He couldn’t help but gasp sharply and exclaimed:
“Hisss! You’ve actually secretly raised a Divine Beast?”
