Reborn As A Phoenix With Beast Taming System
Chapter 78: Hunting Trip

Chapter 78: 78: Hunting Trip

"Precisely that, Young Lord. I have contacted Uncle Yigao about your disappearance and this is his reply." Yunxian produced a piece of paper from her inner sleeve.

[Xiao Hûo has disappeared? Bah! That rascal must be humping a jade maiden somewhere. He will return. Judging his competitive nature, he would definitely participate in the tournament! I will send two Core Disciples, and ten Inner Disciples right now. They should arrive in your place by next month.]

Ash couldn’t help but praise Yunxian’s thoughtfulness. "You really have prepared everything, huh?"

"Of course, young lord. Anything for you."

Ash felt his heart thumping strangely as he heard it. As the Grand Disciple of Tang Yigao, Ash was completely aware of the possibility that Yunxian might use him to secure her position within the sect. However, her smile and gaze was so sincere. Affectionate, even. It made his heart act strangely.

"Speaking of which, when will the tournament begin?"

"It’s next week. Though, the strife between the great families within the city had already begun since the past month. Kidnapping, mysterious disappearance, unknown murder, every imaginable crime has been on a swing to weaken each other’s forces." Zhou Rui remarked.

As a Dao of Thread practitioner, she could inquire as much information at once by just spreading her thread to the entire city just like a Queen of Arachnids would. Ash began to suspect that Zhou Rui’s ancestry was closely related to Arachnids.

A wide smirk etched on his face from side to side. "Interesting. The cold war has already begun ever since I was gone, huh? So, how does the current Mayor react to this?"

"We can ignore him for the time being since the Mayor was in a secluded meditation as we speak. He only came out from his cave for urgent matters only."

"My lord..." Elara glanced at him with concerned eyes. "Are you aiming to be the next Mayor of this city?"

"Bah! Not in the slightest. Why would I burden myself with nonsensical duties while I already have my own subjects that I need to take care about? Besides, I only want the good business, and to ensure you all would have an easy life should I have to leave this city in the near future."

Elara could feel there were dozens of butterflies in her heart as he said that. She was so happy that he really cared about her and others.

With that said, Ash excused himself to have a deep meditation session and didn’t want to be bothered unless it’s an urgent matter. But, in all reality, Ash spent his free time managing his Beast Taming System.

After the previous grueling training to master all five elements, Ash asked the White Jade Snakes whether she wanted to be released or not. And the answer made Ash scratch his head.

"Not now..." Said the White Jade Snake. "I am in my mating season now, if you ought to release me in this state, even the Gods won’t be enough to satisfy me."

"Erm, okay. Just let me know when you feel like it."

Afterward, Ash upgraded his attributes as well as equipping the title and the weapons in his disposal.

"I think, this’ll do for now."

Afterward, Ash was stunned upon checking on Shanguang and Yinghui’s progress after the training. As of now, Shanguang ultimate skill has been upgraded from 30,000 Volt Charge to 40,000 Volt Charge.

He couldn’t wait to see what Shanguang was capable of as his main combative beast. With that in mind, Ash opted to go to Western Wilderness for a couple of days to train his newfound strength and techniques that had been ingrained in his mind.

"Master! Are we going to hunt now?!" Shanguang asked from the Beast-Taming Space as he walked at a leisure pace.

"Correct, Xiao Shan. It’s been a while since the last time we hunt together. However, you will need to be extra careful since you have a bounty on your head."

"Hmph!" The young ligress snorted. "Let them come! And I shall burn them into ashes with my lightning!"

Ash chuckled inwardly as he also felt her excitement. "How about you, Yinghui? Do you want anything from this hunt?"

"We will see. I will notify you if I detect something peculiar that intrigues me the most."

"I see." Ash nodded subsequently. He understood that Yinghui had not moved on from the previous training. However, Ash opted to let Yinghui resolve her problem on her own.

Before long, he had arrived at the Western Gate where all kinds of experts had queued since early morning to go hunt. Not wanting unnecessary problems, Ash opted to join the queue while listening to their conversation of youngsters.

"Man, I need those Rose Heart Flowers to propose to my girl."

"Proposing a girl with Rose Heart Flowers?! Your naivety truly knows no bounds, Jia’er. That is shameful! If you want to marry her, you’d need a body part from a Sky Rank Immortal Beast!"

"That is ridiculous! I’d be dead if I ought to fight a Sky Rank Beast!"

Intrigued by their conversation, Ash opted to join them.

"Greetings, fellow hunters. Are you guys going to hunt a Sky Tank Immortal Beast?" Ash asked in a polite tone.

"Maybe, it depends on the weather also. And, who are you?" Remarked the teenager whose hair was tied to a ponytail. From his fancy get up, Ash could tell that this guy was from a renowned family.

"You may call me, Xiao Hûo. I wish I could learn one or two things from both of you."

"My name is Han Jia Ge, and this is my cousin, Han Wei. We are from Han Sword Sect at the Southwest Delta. If you want to survive in the wilderness, then you must listen to what I said!"
