Must You Really Hate Me for This?

The mother tiger moves close to the cubs and affectionately rubs her cheeks to theirs.

"..."

The affection that the mother tiger shows reminds Ye Gui Feng of his old family but to his bitterness he still can't seem to feel any hint of desire towards wanting to return to his former world as he inwardly sighs.

"Ye Gui Feng what do you think you're doing?"

Qian Ye speaks with a cold tone of voice as she viciously glares at Ye Gui Feng with Zi Bao by her side.

"Big sister Qian Ye you said that one either chooses the beast or the beast chooses you. At the time I also said that it's better to gain recognition voluntarily than having to use violence. I think you understand what I'm trying to say right?"

Qian Ye's eyes flicker with coldness.

"I needn't say that this and that are two completely different things but I will. I don't care much about the beasts outside of my family's domain. Since you've chosen to break our deal then I'll be sure to send you to your grave."

"Must you really hate me for this?"

Ye Gui Feng bitterly smiles.

Qian Ye smirks sinisterly as she raises her whip and lashes at Ye Gui Feng.

"So be it."

Ye Gui Feng slaps his storage bag and brings out Emperor Du Lou that reaches out a hand and grasps the incoming whip.

"Get away from here!"

Ye Gui Feng turns to the mother tiger and shouts for it to escape with the children. The father tiger looks to Ye Gui Feng for a moment before blinking its eyes.

"You as well."

The father tiger spares Ye Gui Feng another glance before running away with the mother.

"Ye Gui Feng I'm not someone that you can easily provoke! Zi Bao!"

The white tiger roars as it charges at Ye Gui Feng from the side before pouncing at him!

"Oh? What a coincidence because so am I!"

Slapping his storage bag once more time Ye Gui Feng brings out Lieyan Bao Long.

*Rawr!!!* Lieyan Bao Long howls before striking out with its massive fist in the direction of Zi Bao and knocks it back!

*Grawr!!!* the purple gem on Zi Bao's forehead shines as its entire body begins to expand in size.

The white beast lands and makes another charge and Lieyan Bao Long is forced to hold it back while its feet slide against the ground.

"Big sister Qian Ye it's rather cruel to separate children from their parents won't you agree?"

"Shut up!"

Letting go of the whip Qian Ye performs a series of incantation gestures as a wall of pale blue butterflies appear.

"Very well."

Ye Gui Feng's voice turns as cold as dry ice and changes his expression to become that of Yao Xieshen's. Baleful howls of ghosts and dark mist come out of his body.

Rotating his cultivation base and Yao Xieshen fully unleashes his Ghostly Spirit Body as a wall of ghosts form behind him.

The Ghostly Spirit Ring's eyes shines red as it absorbs the ghosts behind Yao Xieshen. Fully charged Yao Xieshen punches out with his right fist causing a gigantic dark skull to appear!

Waving her hand Qian Ye launches her attacks as well.

The dark skull made up of ghostly bodies charge forward while the butterflies of magic energy crashes down from above the skull seemingly intent on devouring it!

The two attacks of ghosts and magic collide at the center of the river!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!* a column of water is blown up into the air upon the dark skull and butterflies of magic hitting the other!

The shockwave of the explosion is followed by a series of blinding flares. The forces of Qian Ye's magic energy seems to have caused a type of strange reaction against Yao Xieshen's ghosts.

"Uh..."

Yao Xieshen takes a few steps back as the corner of his mouth leaks out blood. Qian Ye merely takes five steps back as she raises her head with wide eyes.

Their exchange from the appearance of the butterfly wall to the collision of the two attacks had taken less than a minute to happen as the two stare at the other with caution.

"You really are not as simple as you appear."

Just as there would seem like another exchange will occur Lieyan Bao Long hurls Zi Bao back to Qian Ye with a roar and spews out a breath of flames to go along with it!

Qian Ye raises her hand causing a butterfly wall to appear to block off the fire breath. Zi Bao lands and runs back to her side.

"Just who are you?"

Towards Qian Ye's question Yao Xieshen wipes away the blood with the back of his hand before standing with a straighten back. He raises his chin slightly and places a hand behind his back. Posing as a noble young master Yao Xieshen speaks.

"Lady Qian Ye, Ye-mou won't play with you anymore today. It's about time that we head our separate ways."

By now the family of Saber Fanged Vajras must have made it far enough away.

"You seriously think yo-"

Emperor Du Lou draws out two giant swords while Lieyan Bao Long intensifies its breath attack to transform the flamethrower into a sea of flames!

Swing the two massive swords Emperor Du Lou fans the flames causing them to quickly spread outwards to swallow up the surrounding greenery!

Within the cover of the flames and dust Yao Xieshen stores away the two Jiangshi and makes his quick escape.

"Tch!"

Picking up her whip Qian Ye clicks her tongue and hops onto the back of Zi Bao before they make their escape from the sea of flames as well.

After making 40 meters away from the river Qian Ye clenches a fist.

"Ye Gui Feng. I'll be sure to remember your name."

Qian Ye has a feeling that they'll meet again considering how the person had been in possession of two Soul Separation realm Jiangshis. A person with such treasures can't be so simple. Adding onto that they have a grudge to settle.

"Parents protecting their children is it?"

Qian Ye sighs. She can tell what Ye Gui Feng had been thinking of when he handed the cubs back to their mother.

"Forget it. Zi Bao let's go."

.....................................................................................................................

"*Sigh*"

Yao Xieshen leans up against a tree and cools down his head as he takes out a bottle of water and drinks from it. His expression softens back down to the childish and plain face of Ye Gui Feng.

"Goddammit that Qian Ye is far too powerful. If I didn't have my two Jiangshis...Ugh."

Storing away the water Ye Gui Feng sat down properly to meditate.

It was only until another four hours later that Ye Gui Feng reopens his eyes and stands back up.

"I guess I won't have a mount after all..."

But Ye Gui Feng still isn't all that willing to give up as he takes out a giant chicken leg that he had ripped from the roasted Golden Crown Eagle that's in his storage bag. It felt somewhat strange to eat with how the food is still warm even after this long.
