Chapter 67: Fluffy One & Fluffy Two

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther stopped outside the castle wall as Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian leapt down from the wall, and walk toward Ye Chen.

Both Ye Zhantian and Ye Changxuan were equally anxious when they came face-to-face with the two rank nine beasts. If they ever encountered one in the forest, it was certain that neither of them could ever hope to outrun them.

The two men carefully edged closer to the beasts until they were only five meters away. Both were clearly on their greatest guard, lest be the two creatures start harming them.

“Little Chen, where did you find these two rank nine beasts? They seem to obey you,” Ye Zhantian questioned. He could not help but be fearful of the tiger and the panther before him. The last time the clan had encountered ferocious beast was the time the Unihorn Lizard had trespassed the castle grounds. That time, even the collective strength of all men could not contain the beast as they had to depend on Ye Chen’s gunpowder to take it down. They may have increased in power now but taking on two rank nine beasts was still very much a challenge.

Ye Chen could not keep himself from laughing as he saw the two men’s worried faces. Then again, Ye Chen knew the word “beast” struck terror in the hearts of many. It would be difficult to get them to change their perception toward these beasts in such a short period. Ye Chen wondered how he was going to get his people to get along with Fluffy One and Fluffy Two.

“Little Chen, beasts may bow down to mankind’s power but they’re wild animals. All things said, they would never obey men’s words.” Ye Changxuan mused. Ye Changxuan had seen certain big clans who kept beasts as pets and had them locked up in a cage all day. The moment they were released from their enclosure, they mauled people.

“Grandpa, father, they’re extremely obedient!” Ye Chen waved his hand. He looked at the tiger and the panther beside him. “Fluffy One, Fluffy Two, sit down! This is my grandpa and this is my father. From now on, their words are my words and I expect you to do as they say. You got it?”

The moment Ye Chen gave his word, both the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther got on all fours and stared at Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian intently.

The two older men were taken by surprise. These rank nine beasts may possess a certain degree of intelligence but to obey a human command was on another level. How did Ye Chen get them to do that?

The two creatures that lay before them seemed extremely docile, it looked like they were trying to appease them. Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian almost thought they were seeing things.

“Little Chen, what did you do to domesticate them?” Ye Changxuan began to walk closer. Now, he was a little less fearful of them.

Ye Chen took a while to figure out his answer. There was no way he could mention the Astral Body or people might start taking him for a weirdo. “I did something special, I’ll tell you some other time. Trust me when I say these two would never harm a single soul until they’re told otherwise.”

Since Ye Chen had already put it that way, the two older men saw no reason to probe further. The two were now attempting to come into close contact with the beasts.

The people on the castle wall looked curiously. Their hearts would not stop beating as they watched Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian walked closer to the tiger and the panther. It was as if their hearts might rupture from excessive fear. The crowd mumbled among themselves when they saw neither beasts meant the two men any harm.

“Those two are truly docile!”

“Not only that, neither of them is aggressive either!”

“The elder chief said they wouldn’t harm a single soul. I believe the elder chief, he’s right!”

“Me too!”

Below the castle wall, Ye Changxuan walked toward the Scarlet Sky Tiger and held out his right hand to stroke the tiger’s fur. Ye Changxuan was about to be combat-ready when the tiger lowered its head, only for him to realize that it was merely a gesture of peace coming from the tiger. He smiled.

After Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian took turns stroking the fur of the tiger and the panther, both of their fears seem to have gone away a little.

“The Scarlet Sky Tiger goes by the name of Fluffy One and the Stormphantom Panther, Fluffy Two. Do a barrel roll, Fluffy One and Fluffy Two, you do a handstand!” The tiger proceeded to a little roll on the floor. Meanwhile, the panther, who did not know what a handstand was, proceeded to lay on its back with its feet pointing toward the air.

“I told you to do a handstand, not point your feet up in the air.” Ye Chen burst out laughing.

The panther groaned and looked at Ye Chen with an apologetic face. It did not understand what a handstand was.

“This is my first time seeing such obedient creatures.” Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian marveled in amazement. Even the men on the castle wall were equally surprised.

It would be amazing if the two rank nine beasts could aid the clan in their war. Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian were overjoyed. With such a power by the side, the Ye Clan would not have to fear the Yun Clan any further. They would not have to worry about Donglin County at all.

Ye Meng and the rest of the youths got down from the wall.

“Why did you guys come down here?” Ye Changxuan looked at Ye Meng and the rest sternly.

“We came to see the tiger and the panther, Grandpa!” These lots had not seen a tiger before and so, neither of them were afraid of the tiger. On the contrary, they were quite daring boys, all expressing curiosity toward the creature.

“Elder chief, is it true that they’re harmless?” Ye Ming looked eager to pet them.

“It’s true. Don’t worry about it, without my command, they would never hurt a single soul!” Ye Chen grinned.

Ye Meng, Ye Ming, and the rest of the boys walked over to pet the tiger and the panther. After confirming that neither of them would hurt the boys, the lots cheered. Some were like curious cats, circling the creatures to get a closer look at them. While the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther were on their fours, they sometimes even licked the people affectionately.

“You know, I think the names Fluffy One and Fluffy Two aren’t menacing enough. The tiger should be renamed to Almighty Tiger.”

“What about the Stormphantom Panther?”

“It’s yellow, lithe, and lean. He should be the Great Hornet.”

“Ew, I prefer Fluffy One and Fluffy Two!” Ye Meng’s childlike side was beginning to show. The boys were now eagerly engaged in a conversation.

The rest of the people could not contain their curiosity too. All of them got down from the wall to look at the beasts, clearly amazed. Now that the two magnificent rank nine beasts had earned the kids’ affection, the adults could not wait to meet them. They all went up to pet the two felines. Seeing how docile the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther were, the people were no longer afraid of them.

It seemed the people were receptive to the creatures. Soon, Fluffy One and Fluffy Two should be able to assimilate themselves nicely into the clan. Ye Chen deliberately distanced himself from the beasts so that the rest could play with them. His Astral Body could feel Fluffy One and Fluffy Two’s Psyche kicking in and so, he was not afraid that the two would go against his words.

“Little Chen, how are these two in terms of combat prowess?” Ye Changxuan asked. Now that he had seen how docile the two felines were, he was a little doubtful of their combat abilities.

“Grandpa, I guarantee you that their strengths are on par with a rank nine combatant!” Ye Chen reassured.

Ye Changxuan was beaming deep down now that the clan had two additional rank nine guardians. After all, who in Donglin County would ever keep beasts as guardians anyway?

“Zhantian, I’m going to head down to the kitchen to cook some food for Fluffy One and Fluffy Two!” Ye Changxuan then happily walked away, his footsteps clearly lighter.
