Chapter 430 I’m Willing To Do This
Several figures left the disorderly Feiya City and headed toward the wilderness in the distance.
Apart from Ou Yangming and his companions, there was also an outside among those people. It was Zuoqiu Hongyuan from Huangsha County. The God-favored child had come to Feiya County to gain inside information about the Insects. Nonetheless, after witnessing the fire rock explode, he knew his hard-earned clue had been cut off.
Since that was the case, there was no point for him to stay in Feiya City anymore.
Therefore, when Ou Yangming bid his farewell and expressed that he was heading to Huangsha and Yongxiang to help the people deal with the Insects, Zuoqiu Hongyuan asked to join him without any hesitation.
Yu Hongli, Gan Xinrui, and the others tried to make them stay, but Ou Yangming made it clear that the goshawk and the ferocious birds would no longer be a threat to them. With that, the elder and the governor could not persuade them to stay anymore. As for forcing them to stay… Yu Hongli and Gan Xinrui would never have the guts to do that.
Not to mention Wu Hanning’s identity as the princess, Ou Yangming’s beast petMulti-armed King Kong-was fearsome enough, such that the people from the city dared not act rashly.
Ou Yangming bid his farewell, but he politely declined the horses and carriages offered to them.
Given that he had Multi-armed King Kong, the transportations, which were indispensable for ordinary people, became hardly useful but not terrible enough to be disposed of.
Zuoqiu Hongyuan suddenly laughed out loud once they were far from the city. “Brother Ou, are you bringing us to find that goshawk?”
Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He looked strangely at Zuoqiu Hongyuan and glanced at Wu Hanning and the two other young ladies, who did not seem to be surprised at all. It seemed like they expected this to happen.

The young fellow rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.
He initially wanted to give them a fright but on second thought, none of them was an idiot.
Ou Yangming sighed and said, “Brother Zuoqiu, since you could tell, I’m sure the officials from the city are well aware.”
Zuoqiu Hongyuan shrugged. “When the goshawk broke through the scorching fire, it fled in the direction where Multi-armed King Kong is. Hehe, nobody would suspect it if you hadn’t subdued a giant beast, but…” He chuckled and did not finish his sentence, but Ou Yangming understood what he meant.
Whether it was Yu Hongli, Gan Xinrui, or the other people, they had probably guessed that Ou Yangming was going to conquer the goshawk.
Perhaps they even thought that he and the goshawk made an agreement inside the gigantic fireball in the sky, hence they trusted him when he claimed that the city was safe. Besides, Yu Hongli changed his mind too quickly.
From the Humans’ perspective, suppressing the goshawk so that it would help the people in the other counties was unquestionably the best choice; from Feiya City’s perspective, especially since many people died tragically and the city was wrecked, it was too difficult for Yu Hongli, Gan Xinrui, and the others to remain calm.
In actual fact, the people from Feiya City probably wanted very badly to tear it into pieces and grind its bone to dust.
Nevertheless, they neither had the opportunity nor the ability to do so, thus they were forced to surrender to reality.
Ou Yangming shuddered all of a sudden.
Ni Yinghong raised his eyebrows and approached him. She asked him softly, “Lil’ Ming, how are you feeling?”
“I was just thinking we were extremely fortunate that Multi-armed King Kong didn’t make a grave mistake, or I might not accept it even if it decides to acknowledge me as its master in the end.” Ou Yangming shook his head with a bitter smile.
“It didn’t happen, right? You shouldn’t overthink it.” Ni Yinghong smiled gently.
She helped Ou Yangming get over it, but she was also feeling rather afraid.
‘If Multi-armed King Kong hadn’t chosen to surrender and fought the people from Changlong County’s prefecture until the very end…
‘What will the outcome be?’
Ni Yinghong pictured Changlong County to be ruined like Feiya City, imagined numerous dead people, and she seemed to have heard the folks wailing in anguish. She shook her head to cast those thoughts aside, then she fixed her gaze at Ou Yangming.
Although she had lamented many times before this, she felt strongly about this particular thought she had like never before.
‘I’m glad you’re here…!
Ou Yangming and his companions traveled quickly. The protectors that followed the three young ladies were carefully selected, so each of them had the cultivation base of Yang Grade. Though they could not compare with ou Yangming and Zuoqiu Hongyuan, they did not fall behind because it was not a long distance.
At last, a huge black spot came into sight.
It must be Multi-armed King Kong. They had not confirmed what it was, but they were somehow certain that they were right. Perhaps they became familiar with the king kong’s smell and threatening pressure after spending some time with it, thus they became more observant this time.
Ou Yangming waved in that direction, then the black spot instantly headed in their direction.
The eyes of Wu Hanning and the others lit up. They finally validated that there was an unknown connection between Ou Yangming and Multi-armed King Kong, or the spirit beast could not have noticed the young fellow’s gesture from afar.
As Multi-armed King Kong ran over to the people, another shadow soared into the sky and stirred a strong wind. Despite that, before the wind was entirely formed, it dispersed because the shadow zoomed past the distance in a flash and swooped down on Ou Yangming and his companions.
“That’s… Everyone, be careful!” Zuoqiu Hongyuan’s face changed. He took a step forward and shielded the people behind him.
He recognized the shadow and believed that Ou Yangming could control the situation, but he subconsciously responded that way. As such, he gained the respect of other people. Soon enough, the black shadow landed. It was the goshawk, which had displayed its prowess in Feiya City moments ago.
The goshawk glanced at Zuoqiu Hongyuan with its fierce eyes. It carried a majestic yet indescribable bearing.
Having said that, Zuoqiu Hongyuan and the others did not attack the goshawk because it landed on the ground instead of hovering in the sky. It was evident that it had not come to fight.
A phoenix in distress was inferior to a chicken
-an exaggerated saying, but the theory applied to other ferocious beasts.
When the goshawk looked at Ou Yangming, it trembled and looked like it was afraid.
It was an instinctive feeling of fear, by which it dared not disobey Ou Yangming anymore after sensing his true power.
Eventually, the goshawk spread its wings. However, instead of lifting off, it laid its wings on the ground and lowered its noble head. Following that, the bird prostrated before Ou Yangming.
At this moment, it saluted Ou Yangming in the humblest way for the Birds.
Upon seeing this, while Wu Hanning, Zuoqiu Hongyuan, and the others were mentally prepared, they were still left in awe.
The spirit beast, which had a spectacular reputation in Feiya City, had just submitted itself to Ou Yangming. The other people would not have believed it if they had not witnessed it, whereas it was Wu Hanning’s second time seeing such an exciting scene.
Perhaps the goshawk was not on par with Multi-armed King Kong in terms of its rank and build, but it was a part of the Birds and had various wonderful abilities. In fact, the worth of its wings made it as valuable as the king kong
Ou Yangming took a deep breath and went forward.
He gently moved his hand, then the Military Fire emerged from his fingertips. As soon as the Military Fire appeared, the goshawk quivered. Ordinary people might not be able to feel it, but it could sense the mightiness of the power contained in the fire.
The feeling of fear came from its bones, which was a fate that the Birds were stuck with forever.
Subsequently, Ou Yangming shook his hand to make strokes in the air using his Military Fire, leaving dazzling fire marks that formed a large rune.
Wu Hanning, Zuoqiu Hongyuan, and the others squinted their eyes as they tried to identify the rune. That said, they quickly gave up because they realized that the rune became so complicated that it could not be remembered.
It was the Soul Rune, which would cause an enormous impact on one’s soul and mental power. One needed to have great mental power to study the rune, and it was clear that Ou Yangming was the only one among the others that met the basic condition.
As the rune kept expanding, the goshawk seemed to be shaking more violently.
Nonetheless, nobody knew it was not because it was afraid or was regretting it, but because it was thrilled.
Yes. The goshawk was so thrilled that it could not control itself, which was why it reacted so intensely.
The goshawk dared not believe it when Multi-armed King Kong told it that it could become Ou Yangming’s follower, so it thought it was merely a wonderful dream. When the spirit beast finally sensed the soul contract’s power and thought about how it would be envied by the others of its kind, it could not suppress its joy.
Without warning, Ou Yangming stopped.
Wu Hanning, Zuoqiu Hongyuan, and the others were stupefied. They did not say a word, but they secretly urged the young fellow.
‘Quickly finish the process; a long delay might cause trouble!’
On the other hand, the goshawk, which was shivering while lying flat on the ground, roared internally… ‘Quickly, quickly, please don’t change your mind!
“Are you being reluctant?” Ou Yangming questioned after a moment of hesitation, but the Military Fire was still burning. There was an extremely strict requirement for the contract. If the receiving end rebelled, not only would the process fail, but there would also be a risk of backlash.
The goshawk widened its eyes and cried to itself.
‘Sir, which part of me shows that I’m reluctant? Both my body and my soul are willing to do this!
