Chapter 578 - 577: I Dare Not Joke With My Life
The Golden Leopard Beastman haltingly recounted the entire incident.
The Princess’s chest heaved as she listened. "She... she actually took it seriously? I just had someone make things a little difficult for her, to put her in her place. Couldn’t she have just waited patiently for a bit?"
Xu Feng raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Princess, perhaps the Si Shuo Divine Servant is an outsider and doesn’t quite understand our winding ways here.
How about this? I’ll send someone to invite her again. It’s rare for all of us to gather like this. It wouldn’t be right to be missing such a distinguished guest."
The Princess nodded repeatedly, turning to look at Xu Feng with infatuation in her eyes. "Yes, I want to see for myself what’s so special about her that she can transfer a Beast Mark.
And she calls herself a Divine Servant? Young Master Xu Feng, a man as handsome and brilliant as yourself, who cares so much for our Guanping City, isn’t even a Divine Servant. How is she worthy?
She’s probably just afraid we’ll bully them for being outsiders, so she made up that identity on purpose!"
Xu Feng lowered his gaze slightly, passing her a roasted meat chop coated in Wild Honey. He smiled gently. "Perhaps. But I don’t think the title of Divine Servant is something one can just impersonate.
The Beast God’s might is ever-present; she wouldn’t dare lie. Besides, everyone saw with their own eyes that she could move a Beast Mark.
It’s just that I’ve heard she’s young and acts too willfully. With such an ability in her hands, I’m afraid she might cause trouble now that she’s come to our Guanping Beast Country..."
Si Shuo silently ground her teeth. ’Such a manipulative act.’
The Princess said in agreement, "Young Master Xu Feng, you’re absolutely right. In that case, I’ll keep her by my side and supervise her. I’ll make sure she doesn’t misuse her divine office.
However, I’m curious if she can really transfer a Beast Mark. Why don’t we have her demonstrate for everyone when she arrives, using Young Master Xu Feng as an example?"
Xu Feng’s expression didn’t change. He turned his head, smiled at Yuan Ya, and said, "That’s something you’ll have to ask my female."
Yuan Ya clutched his arm nervously, looking at the Princess with vigilance. She forced a smile and said, "Princess, there are so many males here. Why does my Xu Feng have to be the guinea pig?
You know that a male’s Beast Mark can only be transferred three times at most. Please, have some consideration for Xu Feng’s contributions to the Guanping Beast Country and don’t make him sacrifice it for nothing..."
The Princess was displeased. "Yuan Ya, what do you mean by that? They’re all males. If others can do it, why can’t Young Master Xu Feng?
Besides, I’m not telling you to transfer him to someone else. I’ll have him transferred back to you afterward. Young Master Xu Feng belongs to our Guanping Beast Country first, and only then to you!
What’s more, next spring, there will be a grand competition between the Beast Countries. If he were my Beast Husband, Guanping Country’s chances of winning would be much higher. When we win the rights to the mineral deposits, I’ll give you a larger share..."
Yuan Ya’s grip tightened slightly. She hesitated for only a second before shaking her head repeatedly. "No. I’ll only give Xu Feng up over my dead body. He’s terrified of being lonely, and with his excellent aptitude, he’ll live a very long time. Even three females might not be enough to accompany him to his old age..."
Hearing this, the Princess couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "Oh my, Young Master Xu Feng, you certainly are charming. I didn’t expect this female you found would have everything planned out for you a hundred years from now."
Never mind the Princess; even Xu Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise. If he hadn’t sensed her hesitation just now, he might have actually believed her!
"So, Princess, you’d best not joke with Yuan Ya like that. She’ll take it seriously," Xu Feng said with a smile, skillfully deflecting the Princess’s proposal by framing it as a joke.
The Princess grunted noncommittally, her interest waning, and went back to enjoying the services of the males around her.
Xu Feng ordered a Beast Slave beside him to go and invite the Si Shuo Divine Servant. He specifically instructed the slave to be respectful and courteous. He also ordered someone to have a word with the guards at the entrance. If the guest was turned away at the door again, then there would be no need for those guards to remain. His tone was gentle, but his words were chilling.
’This guy isn’t easy to deal with,’ Si Shuo thought, shaking her head slightly. While listening to the group’s conversation with Xu Chi, she wrote down what was happening on a slip of paper to send to her males back home.
She obviously wasn’t at home, so this time, it was Xiao Cheng playing her part again.
Xiao Sishuo Cheng wore a gauze scarf that covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of azure cat-like eyes. He was nestled lazily in Yin Jiang’s arms.
Si Shuo pursed her lips into a smile. The two of them had acted this out so many times they were like old partners. Their expressions were so natural they could pass for the real thing!
Although the females couldn’t undergo Transformation, most of them were tall and well-built with slender figures. But having been through the scorching summer sun and the casual autumn sunlight, very few had skin as white as snow.
But even with his face covered, Xiao Sishuo Cheng, dressed all in white, still looked like the bright moonlight in the flickering firelight of the tent—delicate, holy, and serene, capturing everyone’s gaze.
"She" was led forward by Yin Jiang, her expression cold and proud. "You are the Princess? What business do you have with me, the Divine Servant?"
The Princess was taken aback and couldn’t help but point to her own nose. "Are you talking to me?"
She was a princess. Since birth, everyone had always flattered and fawned over her. Not even her father the king or mother the queen had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone!
For a moment, she was so angry she laughed.
Xiao Sishuo Cheng feigned realization. "Ah, right. The first time, a Golden Leopard Beastman delivered the wrong message. So," she turned her head to look at the males nearby, "which one of you asked me to attend this banquet?"
Xu Feng stood up, straightened his clothes, and wore his usual gentle smile. "Hello, Si Shuo Divine Servant. It was I, Xu Feng."
"You’re dissatisfied with your female and want me to transfer your Beast Mark to the Princess?" Xiao Sishuo Cheng nodded in understanding. "Fine. However, my fee is very high. I require one hundred Crystal Stones of a Level equal to your cultivation."
Xu Feng’s expression stiffened. "Si Shuo Divine Servant, you’ve misunderstood. I was only inviting you to the banquet. No one needs you to transfer a Beast Mark."
"What do you mean, no one needs it?" The Princess sat up straight, scrutinizing Xiao Sishuo Cheng. "You claim to be a Divine Servant, so you must demonstrate your Divine Skills before us. Otherwise, you’re an imposter and will be punished according to Beast Technique, then exiled from our Guanping Beast Country.
And I’m sure the other Beast Countries won’t take in morally corrupt people like you!"
Xiao Sishuo Cheng chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Why should I have to prove myself before you? If I weren’t a Divine Servant, the Beast God would have punished me long ago. Do you think I need you to do it?
Or do you think the great Beast God is too busy to notice me swindling people right under his nose?"
"Then," the Princess ground her teeth, "if we give you the Crystal Stones, can you really transfer a Beast Mark?"
"I can, but as I’ve said before, being a Divine Servant is a sacred duty bestowed by the Beast God. It cannot be taken lightly, much less abused at will.
At the very least, you must find a male who meets the necessary criteria for a transfer. Otherwise, even if you have the Crystal Stones, I wouldn’t dare to gamble with my life..." Xiao Sishuo Cheng said with absolute conviction.
Xu Feng’s expression remained unchanged, but Yuan Ya’s eyes flickered. "I have someone in mind!"
