Destiny Beast Taming

With Zhongyi's permission, the Soul-Controlling Flower did not manifest its entire body in the outside world as it had done last time.

Instead, it simply pulled out a few slender, anemone-like tendrils, completely draining the life and soul energy from the two horned demon corpses.

Just as the Soul-Controlling Flower finished eating, Zhongyi saw Hongji looking at him expectantly.

At this moment, Zhongyi felt less like a beast tamer and more like a zookeeper.

"Go ahead, the rest is all yours."

Upon hearing this, Hong Ji happily dashed towards the center of the two horned demon corpses.

This time, instead of opening her two large mouths through her palms, Red Princess sprouted four tongue-shaped tentacles, each over 5 meters long, from the outside of her fair and slender thighs.

These tentacles are not pieced together from various corpses, but are made of extremely soft and flexible muscles with great extensibility.

The horned demon's minced flesh was spread on the ground like mud. Its feeding tentacles could easily scrape off the minced flesh without leaving a trace.

When it comes to eating, Benihime is serious and will always go to great lengths to specially modify her body so that not a single bit of food remains.

If Hong Ji were to be reincarnated as a human and live in Zhong Yi's past life, she would definitely be the child who gets the most red flowers for eating in kindergarten.

Zhong Ling's expression remained unchanged as she faced the two horned demons with their flesh and blood splattered everywhere, but she couldn't help but freeze in shock after seeing how Hong Ji was eating.

It's obvious that Zhong Ling needs some time to adjust to Hong Ji's hearty meal!

Zhong Yi thought to himself that if anyone else saw Hong Ji eating in this way, they would probably immediately label her as strange.

As she ate the scraps of meat on the ground, Hong Ji gently touched her waist.

The strange blood-thread needle puppet that had been absorbed by Hong Ji materialized at Hong Ji's waist.

Numerous flexible threads separated from the Blood-Thread Puppet's body. These flexible red threads wrapped around the tentacles that Red Princess used to feed, drawing blood and blood vessels out of the minced flesh.

After being absorbed by Hong Ji, this strange creature seemed to be both a part of Hong Ji's body and a weapon that Hong Ji carefully nurtured.

Finally, the four tentacles, each over 5 meters long, nimbly wrapped around the skeletons of the two horned demons, marking the completion of Red Princess's feeding.

The souls, flesh, bones, and even the aura of these two horned demons vanished completely in less than three minutes.

It's as if they never existed in this secret realm at all!

While Zhong Yi and the others were fighting in the Horned Demon Secret Realm, Star City had already shaken up all the major forces in the Upper District because of a piece of news!

The four seasons in Star City are very distinct, but the central urban area of ​​Star City has a vast lake that does not change with the seasons.

The lake turns inky black during the day, with stars twinkling faintly in its waters, as if the night and the starry sky have been sealed within it.

At night, the lake freezes, radiating a glow from within.

At night, the light shining through the lake can illuminate most of the central urban area.

In the middle of this strange and beautiful lake is an island, on which stands a tall tower almost entirely covered with bright yellow flowers.

The top of the tower had long since pierced the clouds, and four huge bronze incense burners with animal heads were placed on the eaves of each level.

Wisps of smoke occasionally drifted out of the bronze incense burner, merging with the clouds and making them appear even thicker.

At this moment, two people are playing chess inside the tower.

One of the women, with short, crimson hair, was scooping up a watermelon the size of a washbasin in front of her with a spoon while pouting and deep in thought.

Taking advantage of the man's distraction, she quickly gathered nearly a hundred chess pieces together on the chessboard in front of her.

"Every time Wen Tao plays Monster Chess with you, you're so lucky, I can never beat you no matter what I do."

"Go find whoever wants to play with you from now on, I'm not playing anymore!"

The woman with short, crimson hair took a big bite of watermelon, and the juice splashed onto her cheeks and the two rose-red earrings that looked like candy balls.

But before the juice could even touch the woman's cheeks or her rose-red pendant, it vanished into thin air, as if it had evaporated.

Upon hearing this, the man in the blue robe opposite him couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Zhuo, I remember you asked me to play this monster chess game with you."

"Didn't you say you wanted to improve your chess skills so that Xu Zhi could bring those two kids back and get revenge on them?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhuo suddenly came to his senses and realized that it was indeed the monster chess game he had arranged.

Feeling guilty, I ate a couple of bites of watermelon and quickly changed the subject.

"Xiao Chen and Juan Juan are already in their twenties, why are you still calling them 'little ones'?"

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since any Chosen Ones have appeared in our Star City."

"Bai Chen's potential rating is S, while Juan Juan's potential rating can only barely reach the S+ standard, which is considered the bottom among the S+ level potential chosen ones."

"It is said that the other cities combined have produced four geniuses whose potential rating is double S-level."

Upon hearing these words, the man opposite him remained calm and composed.

Aside from the helpless expression that had just appeared, the man's emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest because of the woman's words.

"Those two potential double S-rank chosen ones from Kyoto seem to both come from the Fang family."

"The Fang family suffered great losses back then because of that level 6 secret realm riot. The appearance of these two Chosen Ones with potential ratings of double S can be considered as compensation for the Fang family."

"Zhuo, there's no need to worry too much about whether a chosen one will appear; these are not things we can control."

"What we need to do is wait for the true chosen one to appear and then protect him as he grows up."

Upon hearing this, the woman across from him with short, crimson hair immediately stuck her spoon into the watermelon she had only eaten halfway through.

"Hey, Wen Tao!"

"Because of the different rules that the Order Beasts comprehend, none of us Chosen Ones can be mentors to newcomers."

"But when a new Chosen One appears, it will be my turn to be their protector. The next one will be your turn."

"If you try to take mine, I'll stew all those sea-suppressing turtles you're raising and give them to the next little guy who becomes the chosen one."

"I always say turtle soup is very nourishing!"

As Wen Tao tidied up the scattered monster chess pieces on the table, he couldn't help but cough lightly.

In fact, Wen Tao had indeed considered this idea, since it was unknown when the next Chosen One would appear, let alone the one after that.

However, based on Wen Tao's understanding of Lin Zhuo, if he really used some underhanded means to rank ahead of Lin Zhuo...

The few Dinghai turtles I raised probably won't have a chance to advance from the Fantasy level to the Mythical level; they'll just be boiled into a pot of not-so-delicious soup.

After all, no one who was qualified to come to this Starfrost Tower and tasted Lin Zhuo's cooking had ever gone home without feeling nauseous and having an upset stomach.

If Lin Zhuo hadn't been eating it with relish, people would have suspected that she was deliberately poisoning it.
