Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 157 I'm going to defend myself!

Ju Jiashu's words touched Cao Xing'an's heartstrings, and he heard Ju Jiashu continue speaking.

"It just so happens that the two chosen ones from the Long family who have been trying to protect Tao En are not currently in Longya City."

"When eliminating Tao En, do it discreetly, or frame someone from outside."

"When the two chosen ones from the Long family return and find that Tao En is already dead, they won't do anything for a dead man."

"After all, Tao En isn't a member of the Long family."

The best way to prevent future troubles is to nip them in the bud, especially when dealing with a troublesome guy like Toon.

Judging from Toon's previous actions in seeking revenge for his son, if Toon were to recover one day, trouble would surely follow.

Tao En's soul is now damaged, and he only has the strength of a three-finger creator. Red Dragon tried everything he could but couldn't help Tao En recover.

At present, Tao En's value is only equivalent to that of a three-finger creator, and my value can easily suppress Tao En.

Even though he knew that Tao En's soul injury was very strange and that it was very likely his own doing.

After it was determined that Toon's soul could not be restored, even those Chosen Ones who were on good terms with Toon...

They didn't bother me, except for the Red Dragon asking me a few more questions.

Before the Dragon Emperor left Dragon Cliff City and joined the capital, he was undoubtedly the number one figure in Dragon Cliff City, as one of the three emperors.

After the Dragon Emperor left, Dragon Cliff City was ruled by the Chosen One, Chi Long, who came from the main branch of the Dragon family.

Chi Long used to be on good terms with Tao En, and the Long family always valued Tao En's talent as a creator.

The Long family made many efforts to befriend Tao En, who had the potential to become a six-fingered craftsman.

Cao Xing'an knew very well that Chi Long was very dissatisfied with him because of Tao En's matter.

But after Tao En's accident, he was the only remaining peak-level creator among the five masters of Dragon Cliff City.

Through his deliberate efforts, his relationship with the Red Dragon gradually improved.

In this respect, Towon will never be as good as me.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to take this opportunity to get rid of Tao En.

Even if you just let the word out, the forces you support will be eager to use you as their tools.

Having reached a high enough level to become a top-tier creator of the Five Fingers, Cao Xing'an now cares a great deal about his reputation.

The chosen ones in Dragon Cliff City are not fools, nor are the chosen ones and creators in other majestic cities outside Dragon Cliff City.

There are no secrets in this world that can be kept forever if someone is determined to investigate.

Cao Xing'an's previous underhanded tactics against Tao En have severely damaged his reputation.

Cao Xing'an absolutely cannot let Tao En's death be associated with him.

It's best not to get involved with anyone related to you in any way.

"Shushu, I know you made this suggestion because you want what's best for me."

"But Toon's life is more important. He can commit suicide because he can't think straight, but that has nothing to do with us."

"You are the chosen one; be mindful of your status."

"You must never reveal these thoughts to others."

Ju Jiashu looked at Cao Xing'an, who had a serious expression on his face, and sullenly drank the amber-colored tea in her cup in one gulp.

"I understand, Uncle. I wouldn't have said that if it weren't for you."

"After I finished lunch at home, I went to invite Wen Tao again."

As they were talking, Ju Jiashu took out a storage bag and handed it to Cao Xing'an.

"My mom asked me to give this to you. She said you've been thinking too much lately and that you should take care of your health."

"There are a lot of nutritious meals she made in here. She said you can eat a portion while you're preparing the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing'an finally showed a faint smile.

"Shushu, I've always advised against you contracting any beasts other than Order Beasts. Firstly, I want you to focus on improving your Order Beasts."

"Secondly, once your Order Beast reaches the Immortal realm, and you and the Order Beast together condense the Ruleless Structure, you will be able to see the path of the future more clearly."

"It will be more beneficial for you to choose the beast taming contract later."

With your family supporting you, the Immortal Realm is just the beginning for you.

Your potential rating as a Chosen One is S+, indicating a strong chance of achieving Eternity in the future.

"I want to tell you that right now you should focus on improving your strength; matters of the heart and personal feelings are not important."

"When you finally set foot in Eternity and become a true pillar of Dragon Cliff City, even if you seize things by force, you can still keep the person you love by your side."

Cao Xing'an has always been a results-oriented person. In order to achieve his goals, he does not mind using some unorthodox methods.

Otherwise, given that they were both creators of Dragon Cliff City, he would have secretly poisoned Tao En.

When facing Ju Jiashu, Cao Xing'an kept instilling his own ideas.

Zhong Yi has arrived at the border between the upper and lower districts of Longya City, based on the address provided by Guo Xing.

Zhong Yi never expected that Tao En, who used to be a top-tier Five-Finger Creator, would live a similar life to her before becoming a Chosen One.

They both have a small beast-taming shop located at the intersection of the upper and lower city areas.

Although Tao En's beast-taming shop is overseen by Tao En, a creator whose strength is still at the three-finger level.

But after observing for a while, Zhongyi found that there were not many customers coming in.

On the contrary, the small shops next to Tao En's shop were doing very well.

As Cui Heng approached the store entrance, he stopped a customer who was about to shop at another store and asked him in a familiar manner.

"Hey girls, why don't any of you buy anything from this shop?"

"I heard there's a creator working in this shop?"

"With some crafting masters around, the quality of materials and beasts in the shop should be guaranteed."

The woman who was stopped by Cui Heng looked at Cui Heng, and then at Wen Tao and Zhong Yi beside him.

Seeing that the three were very good-looking, he stopped in his tracks.

He looked the three of them over for a moment before lowering his voice to speak.

"If you can ask such a question, you must not be locals of Longya City."

"This shop sells beast-taming items and materials very cheaply, but nobody comes in. There's a lot more to it than meets the eye," C said.

"I advise you to avoid shopping at this store as much as possible, otherwise you may very well run into trouble."

"Not long ago, someone bought some things in a shop, and not long after leaving, his leg was broken at the street corner. He'll be bedridden for at least six months."

After saying that, the woman didn't say anything more and quickly walked into the shop next door.

They were afraid that lingering in front of this shop for too long would bring trouble upon themselves.

Cui Heng clicked his tongue upon hearing this.

"After discovering that Tao En was beyond repair, Dragon Cliff City's protection of him was nothing short of a joke."

"They've even managed to keep customers from coming in!"

"This is a good thing for you, if Tao En owes the Chosen Ones of Dragon Cliff City too much kindness."

Even if you cure Tao En, he might not be willing to go to Star City with you.

"Judging from Tow's past actions, Tow is a very stubborn person."

Cui Heng and Wen Tao both felt sorry for Tao En's situation, but they were not surprised.

People leave and things change; this is an eternal truth everywhere.

Even among those destined for heaven, there are struggles; how much more so among other groups?

Before Hua Zun seized control of the discourse, the chosen ones in Beihan City were divided into two groups, constantly fighting each other.

There have been instances during the battles where other chosen ones have been seriously injured.

Not all the Chosen Ones in the New Summer Federation have such a solid, unified relationship as Star City.

Tao En's current predicament is not because the Chosen Ones who protected him in the first place no longer have any influence.

Instead, these chosen ones no longer protected Tauen as they had before.

Otherwise, if someone dared to target Tao En in this way under the protection of the Chosen Ones of Dragon Cliff City, it would be tantamount to disrespecting these Chosen Ones.

"Before I came here, I consulted Jiao Donghai, another chosen one in Longya City, to learn about Tao En's situation."

"Tao En and Cao Xing'an were originally a case of the latecomer surpassing the former; initially, Cao Xing'an's Creator level was higher than Tao En's."

"The controversy surrounding this matter is too great, and it's difficult to comment on who is right and who is wrong between the two parties."

"But before that, Jiao Donghai said that everyone who had worked with Tao En had nothing but praise for him."

"It seems Tao En is a decent person!"

Wen Tao used soul power to transmit his voice to Zhong Yi, a skill that all Beast Tamers can master after stepping out of the Mythical rank.

Discussing Tow's shop in front of Tow's store is not exactly polite.

Before Wen Tao could finish speaking, a commotion broke out inside the shop.

"I wanted Dragon's Might Potion, but you've made me wait here for so long. Is this how you run a business?"

The noise was followed by the sound of smashing and breaking things, and then the girl's cries could be heard.

"My grandfather can't see clearly, and he just stood there without saying a word after you came in."

"I asked you what you wanted and you ignored me. You just mentioned wanting to concoct a Dragon's Might potion."

"It's written at the shop entrance that they can only prepare potions of level four or lower."

"If you keep doing this, I'll call the city patrol."

The girl's cries did not stop the smashing; instead, they made the men inside the shop shout even louder.

"Go ahead and call the patrol team if you want. Do you think I'm afraid of you calling the patrol team?"

"I didn't come to your store to cause trouble for no reason. Let the patrol team take us both away and ask them what happened."

"If the patrol team says it's my responsibility, then I'll compensate you for your losses."

"If you dare to be disrespectful again when I come next time, I will not be polite this time."

Zhong Yi, Wen Tao, and Cui Heng all knew very well that someone was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

And there must be someone backing them up!

Otherwise, how dare they be so brazen!

As a resident of Dragon Cliff City, how could I not know that this shop was opened by Tao En, a former peak Five Fingers Creator?

This person came directly to the shop to cause trouble, and Zhong Yi felt that he probably wasn't one of Cao Xing'an's people.

Rather, it came from those forces that wanted to curry favor with Cao Xing'an.

Cao Xing'an has plenty of ways and means to deal with Tao En.

There's no need to resort to methods that could damage one's reputation.

Zhong Yi activated his Soul Foundation to summon Hong Ji and gave her a wink.

Hong Ji immediately understood and walked into the shop. With a soft cry of "Ouch!" from Hong Ji, the man's pig-like scream followed.

"What's your name? You were the one who scared me when you were smashing things."

"I just yanked your hand off, what's the big deal?"

"If you keep disturbing my ears, I'll have to defend myself and break your legs off."

Zhong Yi stepped inside first and said softly.

"Hong Ji, throw the people causing trouble in the shop out."

"Fortunately, not much was damaged in the shop. Could you help me tidy it up?"

"The shop owner's eyesight isn't very good, so please be careful not to let these bits of debris prick his feet."

Upon hearing this, Hong Ji grabbed the man who was clutching his shoulder and threw him outside the shop like trash.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of tentacles made of heart muscle appeared behind Hong Ji, and in less than two minutes, they cleared out all the damaged items in the shop.

The scene before her eyes made the girl in the shop, who was clenching her fists and supporting Tao En, forget to wipe away the tears that were streaming down her face.

"Thank you, thank you all."

The appearance of Zhongyi and Hongji was like a divine intervention for this young girl.

In the past few years, no one has ever stood up for Tao Niannian.

Tao En looked at Zhong Yi with his cloudy eyes and sighed heavily.

"You should know who I am. I am just an ordinary three-finger creator."

"It's not worth offending them for my sake, you guys hurry up."

"Otherwise, whether this person calls the patrol team over or brings people to your door seeking revenge, it will be troublesome for you."

Zhong Yi did not respond to Tao En's words, as Tao En's eyes were now so cloudy that he could not see people clearly.

With Tao En unable to see, it's inconvenient to talk to him about anything right now.

Zhong Yi summoned the Lord of Resurrection and had him project a Resurrection Core at Tao En.

Zhong Yi suddenly summoned another beast inside the shop, causing Tao Niannian to instinctively step in front of Tao En.

Looking at the Core of Resurrection hovering in front of him, radiating a healing aura, and the healing energy emanating from the Lord of Rebirth.

Tao Niannian then realized that the boy in front of her wanted to try to treat her grandfather, and quickly moved away.

As the revitalizing core entered Tao En's body, Zhong Yi discovered that Tao En's physical condition was not very good.

He has multiple hidden injuries inside his body, and his soul is in a terrible state!

In addition to a toxin related to a curse, there was a toxin in his soul that was constantly corrupting Tao En's healthy soul.

There was also a huge gap in the soul, and at the gap were some extremely small things, but they clearly showed signs of life.

These things have taken root in Tow's soul, and it is these things that are preventing Tow's soul from healing.

It usually feeds on Tauen's soul and excretes a lot of waste in Tauen's soul.

Before his soul was injured, Tao En was a peak Five-Finger Creator, and his rank as a Beast Tamer must have been very high as well.

When someone comes looking for trouble, Toon can only hide or endure it.

It is likely that the injury to his soul prevented Tao En from activating his soul foundation.
