Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 389 - 51: A Friendly Visit

The ancient ape froze.

Even Qing JiuYu and Tang Feiji were somewhat surprised by Tang Xian’s sudden change of heart.

"Tang Feiji, what are you standing there for? Get moving," said Tang Xian.

Throughout their journey, anything related to the Beast Court was met with no mercy, to kill or to be devoured without pardon.

Tang Feiji was not conflicted. Amidst the ancient ape’s wailing, he cleanly twisted the ape’s head by seven hundred and twenty degrees. Then he tore off the monkey’s head and tucked it into his prop bag.

"What about the two corpses?" Tang Feiji asked.

"The Soul Crystals from two cataclysm-level boss creatures, if I’m not mistaken, are the key to unlocking the ninth level of the Pyramid. However, I’m currently not interested in the higher levels of the Pyramid and want to focus on dealing with the Beast Court first. Do you want the Soul Crystals?"

Tang Xian asked Tang Feiji and also inquired Qing JiuYu. Enjoy new chapters from novelbuddy

Soul Crystals are considered extremely nourishing items for the beasts, with enough of them from creatures of the same tier even accelerating evolution, or rather, increasing the chances of evolution.

However, the stronger the creature, the less likely they are to come into contact with one another.

Qing JiuYu was in fact seeing the orange-glowing crystals for the first time.

Tang Feiji had seen them before. There were some in the temple deep under the sea, but he didn’t consume them, as they were the source of energy that maintained the Sea God’s colossal body vital.

After some discussion, Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu each consumed a Soul Crystal.

After swallowing the orange Soul Crystal, Qing JiuYu’s complexion improved somewhat.

And Tang Feiji felt that the wounds and fatigue from the battle completely disappeared.

"If I could have a few more, I might become stronger," Tang Feiji said.

"Same here," Qing JiuYu softly concurred.

Feeling some strength return, she no longer needed Tang Xian to carry her.

Though this indirectly fulfilled her wish to ride a dragon.

However, nothing remained the same, the gluttonous beast had turned into a demon child. Qing JiuYu also had to adapt her expectations for her fox life.

Tang Xian nodded and said:

"The Beast Court will come looking for me, and I will look for them too, there will be more opportunities."

It was unlikely that a cataclysm-level creature would evolve to an apocalyptic level.

But there were significant differences even amongst cataclysm-level creatures.

It was impossible to change the overall battle power, but devouring a large number of orange-quality Soul Crystals might add some traits.

"What are you planning to do next?" Qing JiuYu asked.

Now with some strength recovered, Qing JiuYu’s demeanor gradually returned to its usual calmness, the previously fragile and helpless stance at the brink of death was difficult to see again.

"Head over to the Saint land fortress and take care of the last bit of trouble."

"Right now?"

"Yes, and I need to create a batch of transportation fissures in the Saint land fortress. The only thing that can hinder me there right now is the fortress’s lord."

Tang Xian said, looking at Tang Feiji.

"You’ve performed very well today, but there’s one more battle ahead, and this one will be easy. Once this is over, you will have fulfilled your Dragon Origin Blood Oath."

"I doubt your words, boss," replied Tang Feiji.

Although he was somewhat pleased with Tang Xian’s praise, Tang Feiji would not show it.

And just a moment ago, both he and Qing JiuYu had witnessed Tang Xian’s act of betrayal.

Tang Xian said:

"Killing prisoners of war is a regrettable act, often under special circumstances. Our whereabouts and combat abilities have all been observed by this ape, which is why we can’t let it go."

A monkey brain is naturally delicious food, but even if these creatures could take human form, Tang Xian would still kill them.

Tang Feiji and Qing JiuYu seem to accept this explanation. They were not kindhearted and never intended to spare the lives of any Beast Court creatures.

But Tang Xian’s real thoughts were also somewhat divergent.

In these indiscriminate battles, he harbored a certain personal anger.

As he said, the Beast Court was an organization that he found particularly loathsome.

Had he arrived any later, Tang Xiaojiu, the only family he had in this world, might have been dead.

There were many more trials to come, and not every time could he be so fortunate to turn the tide of disaster.

So in situations like this, it was only natural to nip in the bud every factor that might cause history to repeat itself.

Today’s anger was a rage for the common people, as well as a rage for his beloved. But although he did it, deep down, he would never admit it.

"Unlike with enemies, I keep my promises to my own people. Kill that Beast Court lord inside the Saint land fortress, and your oath will be considered fulfilled," Tang Xian said with a smile.

Tang Feiji nodded silently.

Returning to the Pyramid fortress and wiping out a minor character from the court would not be hard at all.

Completing this task would free him from the Dragon Origin Blood Oath, which was also a delightful prospect for him.

At least when he first met Tang Xian in the deep sea, he never thought regaining his freedom would be so easy.

But right now, he didn’t seem too happy about it.

Tang Feiji pondered for a moment.

Tang Xian indeed hadn’t made him do anything too difficult.

Although he was forced to make a Dragon Origin Blood Oath, it had also freed him from another such oath.

He looked at Tang Xian with a strange expression and then asked:

"After the oath is lifted, will there still be meat to eat?"

"Of course."

Tang Feiji didn’t say anything more, just contentedly nodded his head.

Tang Xian also tacitly refrained from adding more, as he was not in a hurry, some things needed to be done step by step.

Then Tang Feiji transformed back into a dragon, carrying Qing JiuYu and Tang Xian, heading toward the portal that led to the Saint land fortress.

The dragon’s form was seen by countless distant creatures in the sky.

Chongshan Prison was destroyed during the cataclysmic battle, and the overlapping mountains also suffered tremendous damage.
