Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

56 Maliciously Targeted

This made matters more complicated. Aloy silently covered her forehead, feeling a slight headache.

Originally, she had estimated that it would only take one or two hours at most to pick a suitable spirit beast.

But with Zhang Youcheng’s interference, it had dragged on for almost four hours!

“Sigh...” Aloy sighed softly and quietly looked at Shen Fei.

Even though he did not say anything on the surface, when she was beside him, she could clearly feel his frustration.

According to Shen Fei’s personality, the reason he had not started fighting with Zhang Youcheng yet was because he had not yet been provoked to start a duel with him. He just did not want to waste time needlessly.

But this peace would not last.

...

Looking at the tired Shen Fei, Aloy took the initiative to cling to him.

“Shen Fei, let’s go back first...”

‘Huh?’ Shen Fei looked doubtfully at Aloy beside him. ‘Why is she giving up so quickly?’

“Aloy, didn’t you say you’d wait until you picked a spirit beast?”

“...Zhang Youcheng won’t agree to let us pick one here.” With blazing eyes, Aloy directly exposed the truth. “The few that we picked just now were almost all intercepted by him halfway after we found them. He doesn’t want to sell the spirit beast to us anyway. Instead of wasting time here, why don’t we use this time to do something more interesting? ”

Aloy smiled gently at Shen Fei.

“Let’s call it a day. I’ll invite you out next time to select a spirit beast with me. By the way, I’ll still transfer the selection fee to your account.”

“Alright,” he said. Shen Fei nodded his head and walked toward the entrance with Aloy.

After wandering around this damn place for so long, he could finally go back! Shen Fei let out a long sigh of relief. The fatigue in his body was instantly swept away. He could finally go home and have a good rest.

However, just as the two of them were about to leave...

“Wait!”

It was unknown how Zhang Youcheng had appeared at the door with the spirit beasts that Shen Fei and Aloy had previously chosen.

He raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, jealousy flashing in his eyes.

‘That detestable Shen Fei!’

Initially, this was a private space that he had specially reserved for himself and Aloy.

If Shen Fei had not come tonight, he might have been able to have a good chat with Aloy. But Shen Fei not only came along, he also seemed very intimate with Aloy. This was beyond what Zhang Youcheng could tolerate!

“Shen Fei, if you want to leave, you’ll have to have a battle with me first! If you win, I’ll let you go!”

“I don’t have time to fight with you.” Shen Fei glanced coldly at Zhang Youcheng. He turned and walked away.

It was already so late, and he had no time to play with this guy.

‘I’m going home to rest...’

However, just as Shen Fei touched the door handle.

Crackle...

The extremely low temperature of the doorknob stimulated Shen Fei so much that he reflexively withdrew his hand. In the next second, the entire door was frozen.

“I told you. If you want to leave this place, you have to fight me.” Zhang Youcheng’s entire body was covered in an indestructible ice armor as he slowly walked toward Shen Fei and Aloy.

Shen Fei frowned. ‘What’s his game?’

“It’s time to get to work.” Shen Fei snapped his fingers. Instantly, the feathers of the little Flame Owl beside flared up, and it immediately went into battle mode. As long as Zhang Youcheng dared to get close, he dared to let his Flame Owl spit flames at him!

“There’s no need to look so vigilant. I’m not fighting you for nothing. Look over there,” Zhang Youcheng raised his chin and jutted it toward the spirit beasts at the side. The few spirit beasts there were all chosen by Shen Fei while he was accompanying Aloy.

“These are the spirit beasts you were eyeing. I’ve already drawn up a list. If you can defeat me, then you may form a contract with any one of those spirit beasts!”

After saying this, he smacked the glass cage beside him hard. The spirit beasts inside were so frightened by him that they scurried around in the cage.

“You have my word!”

Aloy frowned. She did not know why, but Zhang Youcheng had suddenly become so magnanimous, when he had been so stingy earlier that he refused to sell a spirit beast to them no matter what.

‘There must be a motive behind the sudden change!’

Aloy pulled uneasily on Shen Fei’s arm and whispered in his ear, “Let’s hurry up and leave. I’m getting the feeling that he’s acting strange. Zhang Youcheng’s family is not the only one to have a few good spirit beasts. At most, I’ll just go to a few more other breeders and find my spirit beast elsewhere.”

“Relax.” Shen Fei smiled gently and squeezed Aloy’s hand. “I’ve easily defeated him in the arena before. I’ll do the same this time. Besides, you need a spirit beast, don’t you?”

Seeing Shen Fei’s determined look, Aloy’s anxious heart gradually relaxed. “Then, I’ll leave it to you.”

“You got it.” Shen Fei nodded his head and turned to look at Zhang Youcheng. “I accept your challenge. Where do you want to start?”

“There.” Zhang Youcheng pointed to an open space in the center. “That place was originally the place where I raised my Frost Wolf King. Now that my Frost Wolf King has died, this place has been empty. I can use it as an arena.”

“Then let’s go.” Shen Fei nodded his head and turned to walk toward the stage.

Zhang Youcheng glared at Shen Fei’s back, his eyes burning with hatred.

If it had not been for Shen Fei’s ruthlessness that day, his Frost Wolf King would not have died. Today, he woud use his new spirit beast to mercilessly defeat Shen Fei where the Frost Wolf King once dwelled!

“Heh, Shen Fei, I’ll let you experience my newest spirit beast!” Zhang Youcheng raised his hand and a huge icicle shot out from the ground in an instant.

In the middle of the transparent icicle, a vague small black dot was there. Suddenly, the black dot moved, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. At once, the huge icicle began to crack and splinter, then it shattered!

Shen Fei evaluated the spirit beast in front of him with interest. This spirit beast was only the size of a palm. Yet, although its body was not big, it had an aura of oppressiveness. Perhaps it was because of the white mask it wore?

This skill was almost completely targeted at the Flame Owl. Shen Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Youcheng. It seemed that Zhang Youcheng had made preparations for this duel.
