Chapter 310: Chapter 147: ‘Chen Qiu’s Exclusive Pet, Those Who Stand in the Way, Die!’_3
“Including the ones I gave to you last time, Brother Qiu, that makes thirty-three.”
“Brother Qiu, you were going to leave Da Xia Country, right? I have a bestiary here, which contains some worthless treasures from all nineteen provinces of the entire Da Xia Country. I’ve collected them and recorded them in this bestiary. When you go out, if you see anything valuable outside, you can come back to fetch it.”
Chen Qiu took the Jade Scroll containing the bestiary, looked up at Liu Zide with a smile, and said, “Figured it out?”
Liu Zide nodded somewhat sheepishly; he wasn’t a fool. Brother Qiu’s wide-scale purchasing of Evil Wood must be because its value wasn’t as it seemed. Although he had previously had his suspicions, he didn’t know what specifically made it valuable.
Lately, he had also heard rumors about Brother Qiu preparing to leave Da Xia and head to Xuantian Continent, which made his guess nearly spot-on.
“Would you like to come with me?”
Liu Zide paused, somewhat incredulously, “Can I go too, Brother Qiu? My cultivation is only at Foundation Establishment stage.”
Chen Qiu nodded, patted Liu Zide’s shoulder with a smile, and said, “You’re pretty efficient at handling affairs. I’m at ease leaving some tasks to you. It’s up to you if you want to come along. If you’re worried about your family head, you can bring him along with us.”
The moment the words were uttered, the Wang Family head standing beside them scratched his head somewhat embarrassingly: “Actually, I don’t like living a complicated life. Liu Steward is a clever man; he’ll be able to reach his full potential following you, Brother Qiu.”
“I want to go back to Yun City and continue living with my family.”
“Just plain and contentedly, I think that’s a good way to live.”
“Phew…” After taking a deep breath, Liu Zide really wanted to see the outside world. If he didn’t know that Da Xia was a cage, it would be one thing, but now that he knew, it was another matter entirely.
“Then, I’ll have to rely on Sect Master Chen to look after him in the future.”
Chen Qiu smiled as he took Liu Zide into the Chao Tian Sect’s small world, waved goodbye to the Wang Family head, and left. This farewell might be a lifetime’s parting; on this path, there were always those who would disembark halfway through the journey.
Everyone has their own choices.
He respected everyone’s choices.
Meanwhile, within Da Xia’s Xuzhou.
Outside Fufeng City, hundreds of brown bears formed a long, dragon-like procession on all fours, passing through Fufeng City, and headed straight south across Xuzhou towards the southern regions of Da Xia!
Although Xuzhou was near the Endless Desert — teeming with demon beasts and members of the Devil Clan —
it had been a long time since so many Demons boldly set foot in Xuzhou. For a moment, countless travelers preparing to enter Fufeng City curiously eyed this group of Demons.
Yet no one made a move to kill them.
Even the City Lord of Fufeng City simply stood on the city walls, watching these Demons disappear into the distance, without the slightest intention to act. His cultivation was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the highest cultivation within this group of Devil Clan members was also at that peak, but he dared not act.
And it wasn’t for no reason.
It was because each of these Bear Demons had a flag fluttering in the wind tied around their necks, bearing an embroidered line of text—
“Exclusive pet of Chen Qiu. Obstruct and die!”
In Da Xia nowadays, there was no one who hadn’t heard of Chen Qiu.
While he had not heard about Chen Qiu having so many pets, he thought it was best not to take chances; maybe these Bear Demons truly were Chen Qiu’s pets. Anyone who got in their way would face Chen Qiu’s wrath. He did not know anyone in Da Xia who could stand against Chen Qiu now.
It crossed his mind that the flag could be fake.
But… if it was fake, Chen Qiu himself would take action to eliminate the bluff, and he had no intention to gamble his life on whether the flag was genuine.
At the front of the procession, an elderly brown bear looked towards the south with a complex expression: “Is this the revitalization plan you came up with? Are we really going to become Chen Qiu’s pets?”
“How about we find ourselves a more flattering name?” The young brown bear beside him panted, “Something like Spirit Beast, perhaps?”
“As your Young Clan Leader, I must have accrued some bad karma. I just can’t see a future in you all.”
“We can’t keep trading bear urine for food forever, right? These past few days, I can hardly pee anymore; I’m already squeezing it out!”
“The best plan is for us to seek refuge with Chao Tian Sect. As long as we join Chao Tian Sect, even if we don’t talk about cultivation resources, at least we’ll be assured food, right? Plus, we brown bears have a special skill that other Devil Clans lack: we look cute. Wouldn’t it be nice to be pets in Chao Tian Sect, to be a pleasant sight for the eyes?”
his journey from initially wanting to revitalize the Brown Bear Clan, to eventually giving up, and now seeking refuge with Chao Tian Sect, has been full of countless twists and turns. He had now resigned himself to his fate.
All that talk about revitalization was just empty words.
The moment he learned that the Star Battle Sect Master had stepped down and sought refuge with Chao Tian Sect, that idea sprang to life in his mind.
“Son, the problem is, with our speed, it’ll take at least two months to reach Fei Zhou. Will Chen Qiu still be in Fei Zhou by then?”
“That’s why we need to hurry!”
A Flying Boat stopped above their heads, and a giant of immense size stood on it. He jumped down and crouched to look over them and boomed, “Are you Chen Qiu’s pets? Are you heading to Fei Zhou?”
