Chapter 376 Big Yellow, Who Grew Bigger

When the prefecture’s great ancestors heard the lofty sentiments, they had strange looks on their faces.

In particular, Elder Universe, who had experienced the previous disaster, and the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors were moved.

As said by Ou Yangming, wars should be dealt with by men, but for generations, Changlong County’s victories were won with women’s lives. After it happened for the first time, it eventually became a norm.

Although deep down the people had considered the matter and were sometimes embarrassed by it, whenever the beast tide occurred, they would always think about continuing the tradition first. As such, a carefully-trained, God-favored child from both the He and Ni families would carry out the tragic mission, which was similar to a blood sacrifice.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, we’re not heartless. If we’re given a choice, we wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice our innocent children.” Ni Jingshen sighed after a long time and turned to point at the towering city walls, then he said with bright eyes, “But who’s going to save them if we don’t sacrifice? We lost one of our comrades today to stop the Earthly Dragon Beasts. If you arrived slightly later, perhaps there would’ve been more sacrifices.”

Elder Universe stroked his beard and agreed. “Jingshen is right. I experienced the previous disaster, so I know very well how awful the damages were for the Humans when the beast tide happened. There’s only one way for us to stop the spirit beast…”

If it was possible, nobody would want a lady to be involved in the war. Nonetheless, if their race was on the verge of extinction, the old, the weak, the ill, and the disabled would have to fight, let alone women.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and looked at Ni Xuetian. “Senior Xuetian, you promised

me.”

Ni Xuetian hesitated for a while and responded seriously, “Yes, I promised to give you an opportunity. If you fail to slaughter the spirit beast, as the Humans’ last line of defense, we’ll only be left with one choice.” “Okay, it’s a deal,” Ou Yangming uttered loudly and curled his lips into a smile.

Ni Xuetian and the others nodded. They were somehow relieved. When Ou Yangming previously gave his word, Ni Xuetian was not too optimistic about it. Nevertheless, many Supreme Great Ancestors had come with the young fellow, and they were all equipped with custom-made magic tools. Moreover, 74 more great ancestors were also heading toward the prefecture.

Seeing how the situation had turned out, not only Ni Xuetian, but also everyone else became fervent. Perhaps Changlong County and Linlang County could stop the calamity through their abilities this time.

It was an unusually exciting day for everyone in the prefecture.

Despite that, after gaining victory by killing the most threatening creatures—the Earthly Dragon Beasts, everyone was extremely exhausted.

Once enough manpower was left at the top of the city walls, the other people dispersed and went to rest. When Ou Yangming returned to the city, he immediately noticed Deng Xiyuan and Li Xinfan, the two big bosses. They did not look happy as if they were resentful.

Ou Yangming was surprised. He did not find it strange that Deng Xiyuan had that expression because the governor was not fond of him in the first place.

However, Li Xinfan had always taken good care of him. Why did he have such an expression on his face too?

Feeling confused, Ou Yangming still saluted the two men. They were the highest-ranked leaders in the city, after all, hence they must not be neglected if one wanted to live in the city. Having said that, the young fellow’s status underwent a drastic change, so he only needed to treat the two leaders normally.

Deng Xiyuan scoffed and questioned, “Master Ou, what will happen to us now that you’ve offended Her Highness the Princess?” Ou Yangming was stunned, and he finally realized that they were looking at him angrily because of Wu Hanning.

He smiled bitterly and explained, “Sirs, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Deng Xiyuan widened his eyes and reprimanded him, “It’s a serious matter if Her Highness is unhappy! How can you cover it up by saying it’s a misunderstanding?”

“Brother Deng, please take it easy. He’s the consort!” Li Xinfan reminded the governor after he cleared his throat. He signaled Deng Xiyuan with his eyes while Ou Yangming watched, as though he was saying, ‘The matter is only between the two of them, so why are you getting involved?’ “Brother Li, as a subject, it’s my duty to serve the imperial family. A consort’s a noble figure, but they’re not yet married,” Deng Xiyuan noted seriously.

Ou Yangming frowned because he could not explain himself anymore.

“Brother Deng, please watch what you’re saying. It’s not like you’re not aware of Her Highness’ character. If the consort has truly infuriated Her Highness, will Her Highness still let him stay in the city? Hmph, do you think Her Highness will be pleased about you offending the consort?” Li Xinfan quickly said in a serious tone and added, “If the imperial family punishes you because of your reckless behavior, I won’t keep you company!” Deng Xiyuan was dumbfounded, and he was lost for words.

He glanced at Ou Yangming warily after a long time, then he flapped his sleeves and left.

Li Xinfan shook his head and suggested, “Master Ou, you should take a look at the princess. Her Highness is genuine with her feelings, so I’m sure Her Highness will forgive you if you apologize to her.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and stated, “General Li, I’m sure you know about my situation.”

General Li had a strange look on his face. “Her Highness went through a life-or-death moment with you, and it was witnessed by many people. If you reject the marriage… I’m sure you’re aware of the consequences.”

The young fellow felt extremely troubled. Everything was not what he wanted, but had somehow happened naturally. Li Xinfan shook his head and turned to leave. As for the other Supreme Great Ancestors from the capital, they looked at each other and cracked jokes with each other, then they left in twos and threes.

No matter how powerful the great ancestors were in terms of martial arts, they could not be of any help to Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming approached Ni Jingshen and the two other great ancestors after some thought. “Seniors, I’d like to make a trip to the Ni family’s secret realm. Please allow me to do

so.”

Ni Xuetian and the others were glad. “You know where it is, so go ahead.”

The Ni family was second to none in Changlong County’s prefecture, but it was far from the imperial family. Seeing as Her Royal Highness was fond of Ou Yangming, but he still bore Ni Yinghong in his mind, the three elders were pleased. Ou Yangming responded to them and went over to the pile of flesh that belonged to him. He stored a part of them in his interspatial bag and carried a few more bags before he left in a flash.

The beast tide was still present, but the city was not fully surrounded. Given Ou Yangming’s abilities, he easily found the path to the Ni family’s secret realm.

Furthermore, after Ou Yangming left the city, he retrieved his biggest interspatial bag to store the other bags of the Earthly Dragon Beast’s flesh. Earlier on, he had only used one interspatial bag because he did not want to arouse suspicion. In this case, nobody would notice anything even if he was checked.

Ou Yangming used his body technique and arrived at the ravine after a while.

This place was not suitable for living, so while there were plenty of ferocious beasts outside the prefecture, none of them occupied this area as their lair.

As soon as he approached the ravine, he sensed an incredibly familiar spiritual fluctuation. The young fellow smiled earnestly.

Sure enough, before he had arrived at the mysterious vines, a yellow figure swiftly appeared in front of him.

It was the big yellow dog, who grew bigger than before. In terms of size only, though it could not be mentioned on equal terms with the Earthly Dragon Beasts, it was not inferior to the big multicolored tiger at all.

As the big yellow dog’s cultivation base kept improving, its body seemed to be growing larger too. Needless to say, due to its race’s restriction, it could not grow without a limit. The big yellow dog was evidently elated after seeing Ou Yangming. It leaped into the sky and pounced on the young fellow.

That said, Ou Yangming smiled weirdly at that moment. He flashed and punched the big yellow dog.

Big Yellow had goosebumps when it noticed Ou Yangming’s odd smile. Its enthusiasm vanished like a scorching fire being put out by a bucket of cold water, but before it could fully react to the situation, the scene in front of him changed. A big multicolored tiger-Big Yellow instantly saw a fearsome half-spirit beast, which was roughly its size.

The big yellow dog widened its mouth without further ado, causing numerous spikes to emerge from the ground beneath the big tiger. The spikes were so sharp that even the big multicolored tiger’s body could not resist them. Next, the spikes penetrated deep into the tiger’s body, turning it into a giant porcupine.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, and he wondered, ‘What’s going on? When did Big Yellow become so mighty that even an equal-ranked big multicolored tiger isn’t its match at all?’

Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming curbed the spiritual control.

Since the big multicolored tiger could not do anything to the big yellow dog, he no longer needed to try.

This was because apart from the simulated Earthly Dragon Beast, the other simulated creatures could not resist Big Yellow at all.

Big Yellow glared at Ou Yangming and turned around proudly as if it was mad at the young fellow. However, it glanced at him from time to time as if it was saying, ‘Comfort me-quickly comfort me!’

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He went forward and embraced the big yellow dog as he expressed, “Big Yellow, I’ve missed you so much!”

The big yellow dog struggled for a while as an act of protest, but it began to jump cheerfully after a brief moment.
