Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Princes Courtesan Wife - Chapter 429
“Uhm… It probably won’t break as long as you’re careful. If you really like it, I can have another one made if you do break it.” Shen Tianyu responded with a sweat drop dripping down the side of her face.
“You indeed possess a lot of interesting things but this is not enough! However, I will let you go for now. In exchange, bring me more interesting possessions once we are out.” Old Qi concluded with its head held high, the rubber ball still held within its paws.
“Thank you very much Lord Tyrannical Sky Tiger.” Shen Tianyu bowed her head and spoke again as she lifted it back up.
“I do have a question, however, what do you mean by… ‘we’?”
“Obviously I’m coming with you, what do you think?” Old Qi harrumphed.
“Ah, in that case, we are honored.” Shen Tianyu easily accepted it without question.
“Hey, what about us! We’re coming too! Do you know how bored we are locked up in here?” The Two-Headed Bone Snake thumped its tail in agitation.
“If you will have us, we want to leave this place too. If it’s a bother, we can find some other place to reside once we leave.” The Abyssal Crow flapped its wings and landed on the ground.
Shen Tianyu looked back at Rong Jian to gauge his reaction. If it was just the Tyrannical sky Tiger, Yaodu can take care of them by themselves but if the other two came as well, they might need the other group’s help as well. It’ll be advantageous to have the former spiritual beasts with them, even if they are unfamiliar with the layout of the Ascendant Monument. However, the other’s subordinates can clearly see them communicating. It could cause trouble if someone later complains that Yaodu hogged all the demonic beasts residing in the Ruins.
“I will follow whatever Wifey decides.” Rong Jian swiftly replied, understanding her unspoken question.
“You sure?” Shen Tianyu asked again.
“Mhm.”
“Okay then…” Shen Tianyu turned back to the former spiritual beasts to give her reply. “Since he agrees than we would be glad o have the other two join us as well.”
“Yay! We can finally get out of here!” The two-Headed Bone Snake swished its tail happily.
“You act like you’re so sick of this place but weren’t you the ones who agreed to be locked up here with Master when he asked you?” Old Qi huffed, giving the Bone Snake a side eye.
“Alright, alright. No need to fight. All that matters is we have an opportunity to leave now that we are bored of being here.” The Abyssal Crow calmed down the embers to the fight before it even started.
Now that it was decided the demonic beasts would also join them, they reorganized their formation. Due to some feeling uneasy about snakes, the Two-Headed Bone Snake became the tank at the front and the Tyrannical Sky Tiger and Abyssal Crow were in charge of the back. The Abyssal Crow could also scout ahead since it was able to fly but some places could not let it fly freely. When it was not flying, it perched on the Tyrannical Sky Tiger’s head and let it do the work. As for why Old Qi let Old Gu ride on its head, Shen Tianyu didn’t ask. The others naturally followed her lead and didn’t emotion it either.
They used the Light Talismans to continue down the path. As they were leaving the place, Shen Tianyu could hear footsteps entering the cave.
Though the cavern was dark, there were no more dangers until they reached the end. At the end of the cavern was another large metal door. This one, unlike the doors they entered through, did not have any indications of needing special methods to open it.
The group settled down on the ground to rest before they moved on. Those that were tired sat down on cloths and rubbed their legs. Those that were hungry fished out snacks from their bags or that of their partner’s. Those that were sleepy took the chance to lean against the rocky walls and nodded off.
Rong Jian found a flat rock and put a handkerchief over it, making Shen Tianyu sit down. She didn’t oppose the idea either and sat down with a thank you. She patted beside herself to gesture for her partner to sit down as well and he obliged.
“Hmph. Humans are so weak, needing to rest only after this short of a distance.” Old Qi hmphed while he motioned for Shen Tianyu to take out his rubber ball. His “offerings” were still being stored in her Pouch since the Tyrannical Sky Tiger couldn’t use a Cosmo Pouch and had nowhere else to store them.
Shen Tianyu wordlessly took out the rubber ball and threw it at him lightly. The demonic beast caught it and started to mindlessly play with it in its paws.
“Hey, it’s not just this little distance we traveled okay? We had to come here from the front of the Ascendant Monuments and fight off a f.u.c.k.i.n.g large hoard of Parasitic Bees and Face-Devouring Mosquitoes on top of other humans. We haven’t had a chance to rest until now, unlike you guys who’ve probably been sleeping here for thousands of years.” Yi Weixing had warmed up to the demonic beasts a bit and even refuted the Tyrannical Sky Tiger in complaint. Yaodu was surrounded by demonic beasts, after all, those that train and grew up there are naturally more receptive to demonic beasts than other humans.
“Only some Parasitic Bees and Face-Devouring Mosquitoes, what is there to be troubled over? You humans are so weak, I could have easily gotten rid of them all in a second.” Old Qi scoffed and the human and demonic beast duo started to argue as the others watched on warmly.
“Your people are quite friendly with demonic beasts.” Rong Jian commented. His subordinates were still sticking near him, creating and invisible divide between the two groups with Yaodu members gathered on the left and Rong Jian’s subordinates gathered on the right. The couple was situated near the middle despite facing the door with their side.
