Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Princes Courtesan Wife - Chapter 421

Tyrannical Sky Tigers, despite not eating humans or exhibiting any type of “demonic” behavior are still considered demonic beasts. For all demonic beasts are different from regular beasts and much stronger, even more so than human cultivators. What cultivators consider “Holy Beasts”, by definition, can only be summoned from the heavens. As in, they do not naturally exist in the wilds. Therefore, even vegetarians like rabbit demonic beasts or species like the Tyrannical Sky Tiger that don’t bother with others unless intruded upon, are still considered as such. To say it kindly, it is because they are a potential danger to human society. To put it harshly, it is so that no one will oppose even if you kill or cage them, for they are “demonic”, and “demonic” by definition is bad or evil.

‘Since they said it is more or less just sparring, then there’s no need to send out a big gun. But the newbies aren’t up to par either…’ Shen Tianyu put a hand over her mouth in contemplation, her other hand still unconsciously hooking onto Rong Jian’s.

“How about we go?” Two of the older members stepped up and volunteered. Though the two weren’t the longest-time members, they also weren’t new recruit level of new.

“Yi and Tao, are you guys sure you are up to it? You don’t need to push yourselves.” She remembered the two that stepped up.

Yi Weixing is a young girl with short hair and tight fitting clothes for ease of movement. Yi Weixing didn’t like being looked at or called a woman, though. Weixing was much more comfortable being treated as a male. Shen Tianyu didn’t know if that was his real name but that was the name the person wanted to be called by. There was a heavy-looking broadsword strapped to his back.

Tao Zhouqi was a male with short, spiky hair in flowy robes and two jian1 strapped to his right hip. His face looks quite fierce, with passion burning in his eyes. He had been friends with Yi Weixing since he first joined and have basically been inseparable since. They always went on missions as a pair unless one has other important matters or they needed a group.

“This is an opportunity to test all my training, how could I miss it? Don’t worry Miss, I won’t tarnish Yaodu’s name!” Tao Zhouqi pumped his fist.

“You want to conserve the strength of the older and stronger ones, right? But the new recruits definitely won’t stand a chance against these. Even if we can’t win, I’m confident we can at least get a draw.” Yi Weixing commented with crossed arms.

“Alright, if you say so. No need to push yourselves, though. We don’t know how much further we need to go.” Shen Tianyu let them be and the two stepped to the front of the group.

Rong Jian was also done selecting his people and three pairs of two were standing in front of the entire group. The demonic beasts had also finished deciding the order they would go up in.

The first round was The Two-Headed Bone Snake and Rong Jian sent up his subordinates. Unexpectedly, the sword they had may look ordinary but were quite sturdy. The body of the Two-Headed Bone Snake was also quite tough. Screeching noises of metal scraping against hard bone echoed throughout the cave.

The noise was too much and Shen Tianyu covered her ears with her hands when it first sounded. Her eyebrows pinched and her eyes shut tight, her gritting of her teeth can be seen y the tension of her jaw. Many of the others from Yaodu also did the same as the unpleasant sounds pierced their ears.  The ones who were more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e crouched on the ground and tried to grab as much of their clothes as they could and press them against their ears to block out the sound.

The most severe reaction from Rong Jian’s subordinates, however, was only them flinching. Either they had very god control of their bodily reactions or they were used to this kind of sound.

The Yaodu headquarters was located in a giant forest inhabited by a number of demonic beasts and all members had a place of residence there. Going through the forest, taking a walk, or leaving, required one to pay special attention to their surroundings. Though the pact was that the demonic beasts would not attack the humans unprovoked, it didn’t bar them from being mischievous or finding a human to spar with. And in that kind of an environment, sound is detected faster than what the eyes can see. Though it wasn’t on the level of superhuman, all members of Yaodu had more s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e hearing than the average person. It also aided in their mercenary jobs when it comes to detecting ambushes. No one ever thought this ability that they used so often would come back to bite them.

Seeing his wife with hunched shoulders and tightly pressing against her ears with an enduring expression, Rong Jian flew over and put his hand on top of hers to try to help. Seeing that her expression wasn’t easing up, he copied the others and bundled up the fabrics of his robe and pressed them against Shen Tianyu’s hand.

Sensing cloth as well as another hand pressing over hers, Shen Tianyu peeked open her eyes to see who was there. Rong Jian was looking at her with eyes filled with worry and panic, not knowing what he can do to help. He could stop the battle but they needed to satisfy the demonic beasts to pass and the bodies of the Two-Headed Bone Snake wasn’t something they can change just because he didn’t like it. Shen Tianyu gritted her teeth harder and cautiously slid her hands down, letting Rong Jian’s clothes and hands press against her ears. The screeching sounds that entered her ears during this brief moment made her flinch. Rong Jian pressed harder against her ears but let go a moment later. He was an entire cultivation level above her, what if he got too emotional and injured her?

Shen Tianyu pressed her hands against Rong Jian’s and pressed them inwards. At the very least, she was now able to stand the sound enough to keep her eyes open. Chinese sword
