Chapter 351: Chapter 254: The Terrifying Scream_2

....

Three days later, a group of three passed through the city gates. Two of them were cloaked in black inscriptions, concealing their aura, leaving every cultivator hesitant. These concealed individuals might be incredibly strong, or perhaps exceptionally weak.

Either way, they were clearly a group not to be trifled with, supported by considerable power, as no one would purchase such refined cloaks without spending a fortune. This fact alone made their journey through the city calm and undisturbed.

These three hidden figures were unmistakably the sisters of the beasts. Their journey to Liluo City took much longer than traveling through villages, but it greatly reduced their need to stay vigilant toward humans.

Upon entering the city, both Shui Wu and Ice Bird appeared as bewildered as Sha Yun, which made the Snake Woman puff up with pride. She was no longer the country bumpkin from the Magic Forest—no, now she was a beauty from one of the grand cities. Though she was a magical beast, her life surpassed that of many humans.

Indeed, certain laws prohibited magic beasts from entering specific areas, such as the City Lord Mansion, to prevent enemy forces from smuggling through beasts. However, aside from those limitations, Sha Yun lived a life that respected human livelihoods around her. No one treated her as merely a magical beast but rather as an equal, akin to a friend or acquaintance.

After leading her sisters through the lively streets, Sha Yun skillfully navigated her way through the bustling city, happily explaining everything they encountered along the way. Though it slightly delayed their return, she proudly considered herself fulfilling Yan Xiaobao’s request.

Noticing Sha Yun’s arrival, the mansion guards quickly opened the gates with a respectful demeanor. The Snake Woman, upon entering, nodded to the guards as acknowledgment and immediately headed toward the Stone Garden where she had met Yan Xiaobao a few days prior.

Since Sha Yun’s departure, Hui Yue had only managed to synchronize with her affinity for Earth, but now, just four days later, Yan Xiaobao had successfully achieved perfect synchronization with his affinity for Fire.

As the Snake Woman entered the garden, she immediately spotted the young man hovering in mid-air, a faint silver sheen glimmering on his body.

This silver hue was undoubtedly the metallic affinity, the ultimate affinity Yan Xiaobao could summon within his Spiritual Energy Sea.

Though Yan Xiaobao was currently training his affinity for the Metal Element, striving to enhance his elemental bond, it was clear he had only just begun. His entire body was drenched in sweat, pushed to the absolute limit.

Upon hearing the sound of Sha Yun sliding across the gravel, Yan Xiaobao ceased floating in the air, landing on a stone while opening his eyes with a faint smile on his face.

"Welcome to my home," he said politely as he stood up, pressing his palms together in greeting and bowing toward the two Beast Sisters standing behind Sha Yun.

Xu Yue clasped her hands in greeting, bowing slightly toward the two beasts draped behind Sha Yun, and then slowly walked toward them.

"I’m pleased to see that you two are willing to lend me your strength. I promise to make this journey worth your time," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile as he led the three Beast Sisters into the mansion.

"As long as you’re within the mansion, I assure you that no one will disrespect you," Yan Xiaobao continued as he showed the two guests around the mansion and its surroundings. "I suggest you remain near the mansion most of the time. If you truly must enter the city, make sure to wear your cloaks—it’s dangerous for you to go alone. These cloaks will offer you a measure of safety."

After this explanation, Yan Xiaobao guided the trio upstairs, where three adjacent rooms were lit warmly. The central room belonged to Sha Yun, though the Snake Woman rarely used it, as she loved to slip into Yan Xiaobao’s room.

So long as the sisters remained in the mansion, Yan Xiaobao granted them unrestricted access to the second floor while he himself stayed on the first floor. The sisters were allowed to roam freely within the mansion, and every servant was instructed to tend to their every need.

Both Shui Wu and Ice Bird were stunned by the care they were shown. Previously, they had only ever encountered people who sought to hunt or harm them. To these beasts, humans were no more than playthings or food.

"I assume Sha Yun has already explained the plan to you two?" Yan Xiaobao asked as he toured the two sisters through the estate. They nodded, their eyes fixed on their surroundings rather than listening to Yan Xiaobao’s words.

Although they paid little attention to Yan Xiaobao, they still nodded in response to his question. A cunning smile appeared on his face, and he began to whistle as he returned to the Stone Garden, where he resumed his meditation. His body hovered a few centimeters above the ground again, soon glowing silver as beads of sweat once again covered his skin.

....

"Why haven’t you hired assassins recently?" A voice echoed through the frozen mansion. Zhong Hui turned his head to see a handsome young man emerging from behind an ice pillar that had stood within the structure. This man wore only pants and shoes, his upper body bare, exposing his chiseled chest, white hair, frosted skin, and icy eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the man’s hair wasn’t truly white, nor was his skin; rather, everything was cloaked in frost. His eyes weren’t genuinely white either—they had long taken on the chilling hue of the dead. Initially, his appearance might seem striking, but upon closer examination, he’d terrify anyone.

Gazing at the frozen youth, a frustrated sigh escaped Zhong Hui’s lips as he shook his head lightly.

"There’s no need to send them anymore," he said disdainfully, yet the young man showed no interest in resolving the issue.

"Why not?" the man asked curiously, raising his head slightly. "Didn’t you say you wanted to train him? You can’t go soft on him just because you favor him." As he continued, a smirk appeared beneath the frost-covered face. "Look at me. Is this how you train the young?"

Zhong Hui chuckled softly as he nodded in agreement. "Admittedly, I have surpassed that point now," he said with a slightly playful tone. "I sent a silent raven after him."

"Really?" the frost-covered man asked, his jaw dropping in delight. "So he’ll join us shortly?" he hesitated, at first joking about this newcomer’s impending death, yet seemingly never learning from his past mistakes.

"The reason I no longer dare send assassins is because he killed the raven." The man sitting on the frozen throne finally sighed, causing the jaw of the handsome youth to drop even further. Killing a raven was no trivial feat.

"I see," he muttered with a knowing tone. "When do you plan to bring him in?" he finally asked.

"I won’t have him join my Frozen Corps," Zhong Hui said, a faint smile gracing his face. "I want this man alive, so for now, I’ll simply watch him grow. A few years from now, I’ll come to claim him."

The frost-clad man shook his head as he stared at Zhong Hui, as though looking at an ignorant child, his eyes brimming with pity and doubt. Though he seemed inclined to say more, no words escaped his lips as he turned and departed the Ice City hall, muttering to himself while shaking his head incessantly.

....

Back in Liluo City, the City Lord finally began making moves against the Wang Family and the Deng family, escalating tensions to an all-time high. Each major family barred their rivals from entry, with every faction spending their reserves hiring additional guards from civilian families. They also used their wealth and influence to recruit noble families still undecided about which faction to join.

While the older generations of factions scrambled to recruit allies, Yan Xiaobao busied himself drafting plans at home. He was frequently visited by guests—some bringing information, others seeking it. Soon, news spread that Yan Xiaobao housed three high-ranked humanoid magical creatures. However, no one dared antagonize them due to their status as Yan Xiaobao’s guests. Even though two of them weren’t bound by beast contracts, no one wished to make an enemy during wartime. Instead, they chose to leave them alone due to their neutral stance.
