This Lu Yun is incredibly strong⌠Heâs very different from what the stories say, but his style is a perfect match. A sharp light glinted in Yang Qingâs eyes as he made certain calculations.
âWhat about me?â Lu Yun sniffed. âStand over there like good little boys if you donât want to be my pet!â
âGood, very good!â laughed the young master dressed in traditional clothing. âAdversity from the heavens can be accepted, but mishaps of oneâs own making cannot be endured! I, Wen Qiushui, would like to see how youâd turn me into a human pet!â
âAre you sure you want to be my pet?â Lu Yun glanced at Fengxian Wu. âMiss Feng, we should have a good time on your first visit to the Beast Colosseum. How about I give these three and their guards to you as pets?â
âVery well,â Fengxian Wu smiled. Although her face was covered by a veil, the young mastersâincluding Yang Qingâpaused in a daze. âBut I canât be bothered to catch them myself. You do it for me, Lu Yun,â she giggled.

A wry smile spread across Lu Yunâs faceâand it wasnât an act. He was confident against golden core opponents, but nascent soul would be difficult without using the Petrification art. Not to mention, each of the three were accompanied by two guards that were also nascent soul. He could handle one or two of them, but would be able to do nothing other than run if all six mobbed him at the same time.
The three glared with livid expressions, but didnât dare refute Fengxian Wu. Sheâd defeated a dozen nascent soul cultivators by herself, including latter nascent soul powerhouses. None of them were a match for her.
âLu Yun, I recommend you release Sir Cloudexit and apologize properly to him. Otherwise, your two servants will become my human pets,â came another voice at this time.
A handsome young man dressed in long blue robes walked in with two followers. Each of them carried a person in their hands.
âOuyang Shengtian?â Lu Yun raised an eyebrow, then swiftly regained his calm. His men were carrying an unconscious Lu Xuan and Lanâer. âIt looks like you want to die, Ouyang Shengtian.â
âOh?â The Ouyang young master hauled Lanâer in front of him. âThis He Lanâer is General He Wuhengâs daughter, isnât she? Oh, heâs your family servant now after stepping down from his post. Isnât he a loyal one? If you want Lanâer to live, you will release Sir Cloudexit. That would be good for both of us.
âAnd Miss Feng Wu, I recommend you to not do anything. Since Iâve come here with the two of them, it naturally means that Iâm fully prepared.â Ouyang Shengtian glanced at Fengxian Wu.
She did indeed want to spring into action as she was good friends with Lanâer and wouldnât stand to see her friend in these straits.
A crisp face slap jarred everyone out of their thoughts. The pitiful Cloudexit had suffered another heavy blow. Being frozen by a talisman, the brooding young lord couldnât move or talk.
âLet them go,â Lu Yun demanded.
Ouyang Shengtian paused, shocked.
Everyoneâs jaw dropped. It was incredible that Lu Yun would act like this! One slap after another  rained down on Cloudexitâs face. He suffered a dozen slaps in short order and his handsome face turned as swollen as a pigâs head.
âI will kill Xu Chuyun if you donât let them go. All of it will be the Ouyang Clanâs fault then,â Lu Yun paused and sneered at Ouyang Shengtian.
Cloudexit was still conscious despite suffering a dozen hearty slaps. He glared at Ouyang Shengtian with eyes of fire. Why would he be suffering such humiliation if it wasnât for this kid interfering?!
No one really thought that Lu Yun would use him as a human pet, including Yang Qing. Whoever dared put their beast in a ring with Sir Cloudexit was looking to die. And even if Lu Yun really did lose his mind, Yang Qing wouldnât dare bet against him!
Dark Orchidâs enemy nation would be very careful to avoid doing so. Something seemingly inconspicuous could cause war to break out between the two sides. No one could afford such consequences, and Xu Chuyun most certainly occupied that kind of status in his fatherâs heart.
But now, Lu Yun had been goaded into smacking Cloudexit again and again. Ouyang Shengtian was furious and subconsciously looked at Xu Chuyun, but didnât release Lanâer.
Ouyang Shengtian wants to force my hand. No wonder he put on this show today, heâs the one behind everything. The thought flashed through Lu Yunâs mind and he chuckled, âWhat, are you still not releasing them, Ouyang Shengtian? Are you trying to force me into killing Xu Chuyun?â
Terror appeared on Cloudexitâs face.
âHurry up and let them go!â Lin Qi frowned and shouted.
Ouyang Shengtian remained unmoving and stared frostily at Lu Yun. âI donât think you have it in you to kill Sir Cloudexit.â
âHeh heh heh,â Lu Yun chuckled. âYou donât believe me? Then let me show you!â
He raised his hand, drawing horrified expressions from Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfei. But before they could move, Lu Yun reached back with his hand and scratched his head.
âDonât worry, itâs just a joke,â he smirked.
The group felt like they were on the verge of heart attacks. This kid⌠truly had no limits!
âBut it does seem that Ouyang Shengtian would be very happy to see me kill Sir CloudexitâŚâ Lu Yun continued calmly.
Ouyang Shengtianâs expression shifted, yet he remained blithely unconcerned. âSir Cloudexit is noble and lofty, you are but the young master of country bumpkins. Hurry up and release him!â
âCountry bumpkins? Noble and lofty?â Lu Yun shook his head and stomped on Xu Chuyunâs back, kicking him to the ground and resting one foot on his head.
âI donât know why youâre trying to provoke me, Ouyang Shengtian. You must know that one tends to lose reason when one is upset. Losing reason often leads to unreasonable action. Is that what you want to see?â Anger dawned on Lu Yunâs face.
Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfei had also realized something was amiss and looked unpleasantly at Ouyang Shengtian.
âOh⌠oho!â Lu Yun scratched his cheek with a look of dawning understanding. âYour baby sister, the Ouyang Shengxiang whoâs been in this young masterâs bed, is said to be engaged to the Dark Orchid crown prince. Is this what youâre counting on? The Lus will suffer revenge if Xu Chuyun dies, but the Ouyangs will remain safe due to your relationship with the Dark Orchid crown prince. What a lovely move of killing with a borrowed blade!â
Sprawled on the ground, deep resentment flashed through Xu Chuyunâs eyes. In this moment, he hated Ouyang Shengtian more than he did Lu Yun.
âAiya, I wonder if the Dark Orchid crown prince knows that Ouyang Shengxiang has a red mole on her buttâŚâ Lu Yun licked his lips.
Ouyang Shengtianâs face drained of color. Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfeiâs expressions also turned odd. Ouyang Shengxiang was a connate fragrance constitution and the crown prince had decided long ago that she would be his future empress. Yet, Lu Yun was saying that sheâd been in his bed?
And there was a red mole on her butt?
The three found things very strange indeed when they looked at Ouyang Shengtianâs pallor.
âSir Cloudexit, my human pet, it looks like someone really wants you to die.â Lu Yun leaned over and patted Xu Chuyunâs swollen cheek.
Xu Chuyunâs eyeballs were about to fall out from the force of his glare, but there was nothing he could do since he was under Lu Yunâs foot and immobilized by a talisman.
âYoung master Lu, will you release Xu Chuyun on my behalf?â sounded a new voice. A young man roughly twenty years old had walked into the pavilion at some point.
âVery well, this young master will show mercy today on behalf of Sir Yue.â Lu Yun recognized the newcomer in long ivory robes as one of the three gentlemen of the capitalâMo Qiyue.
Despite his words, he didnât move his foot. âOuyang Shengtian, you should release my two servants.â
Ouyang Shengtian took a long look at Mo Qiyue before throwing Lanâer and Lu Xuan over. Zhao Chenguang and Yu Shuai frantically caught Lu Xuan while Fengxian Wu held up Lanâer.
Lu Yun snorted and snapped his fingers, dispersing the talisman on Xu Chuyunâs head. He removed his foot and kicked the young man to Lin Qi and the others.
âBut now I lack a human pet without Sir Cloudexit.â His next words caused the atmosphere to tense up again.
