Chapter 308 - 184: No Turning Back
"White Ape?"
Jiang Feng’s expression froze.
"Yes, a very powerful white ape. Not sure how it offended the Second Prince, but it’s been tormented by him for quite some time. It still has talismans left by the Beast Masters on it. It dragged the carriage, taking my father and me back to the Dragon Capital."
Han Dong said casually.
"Let’s go!"
After speaking, he walked toward the prison gate.
"Why are you standing there dumbfounded? Let’s go!"
Han Dong walked a few steps and noticed Jiang Feng still standing foolishly in place.
"Daring to provoke the Second Prince’s monkey, I must take a good look."
Jiang Feng snapped out of it and hurriedly caught up.
He thought to himself, "When I left the valley quietly back then, the White Ape’s attention was entirely on Liu Jinhu. Surely it didn’t notice me. Even if it saw me, it couldn’t possibly recognize me, right? With my current strength, I can conceal my aura around Xiao Zhan, and he might not even notice within a hundred steps."
Jiang Feng wanted to refuse.
But feared exposing himself.
Couldn’t find a good excuse.
So he could only follow Han Dong.
They came to the entrance of Zhenbei Prison together.
"Goo-goo-lu-lu!"
Before stepping out, Jiang Feng heard the call of the White Ape.
When he and Han Dong emerged from the prison, they saw the White Ape bound by iron chains, trapped in a rock-solid prison cart.
It was strong and muscular, looking like a Vajra, sitting inside the prison cart, with a single casual shake causing the vehicle to tremble violently, and the bricks beneath the wheels shattered.
This was when it was affected by a talisman from a Beast Master, with its power greatly suppressed.
If the talisman were removed.
Its strength unleashed.
In an instant, it could break the chains and tear apart the prison cart.
"Director Han, you came out finally, this beast is clamoring to follow you, there’s not a single Beast Master in the Demon Suppression Bureau who can control it."
"Goo-goo-goo!"
A Seventh Rank Beast Master said with a troubled face. He understood the Beast Language and was signaling the White Ape to calm down.
"You should tell it to change its temper, or else when the Second Prince returns, it’ll suffer skin and flesh pain again."
Han Dong said.
"Goo-lu!"
The Beast Master immediately communicated with the White Ape.
"Roar!"
"Clatter-clatter!"
The White Ape, extremely irritable, shook the prison cart violently, wishing it could burst out, scaring everyone into tension.
"Beast."
The Beast Master was furious, quickly shooting several poison needles.
The White Ape had a strong bloodline, those needles meant to pacify couldn’t affect it at all.
The White Ape’s cries persisted.
It kept pulling at the chains on its body.
"Director Han, I genuinely can’t handle it."
The Beast Master looked troubled.
Feeling ashamed.
Han Dong sighed, saying, "What does it want anyway?"
"It wants to follow you; it is hostile to everyone else; seems we can only keep it at your Zhenbei Prison."
The Beast Master looked defeated.
Han Dong hadn’t even brushed up a tad of Beast Taming Technique, yet the White Ape willingly followed.
"With such a big creature, if anything happens, Zhenbei Prison cannot bear the responsibility."
Han Dong shook his head.
She was a smart person.
The White Ape belonged to the Second Prince.
If it grew used to her, the Second Prince would reckon with her later.
Furthermore, Zhenbei Prison had never held such a huge creature; if anything went wrong, injuring either guards or prisoners, the blame would be heavy—all in all, a thankless task.
Han Dong would be foolish to agree.
"To make it obedient, the Demon Suppression Bureau has ways, but as you know, it’s the Second Prince’s Spirit Pet. If we break it, we can’t account for it to the Second Prince later.
So we informed the Commander, who said to temporarily hand the White Ape over to you. You bear with it for a few days, and when the Second Prince returns to the city, return the White Ape to him.
Additionally, you needn’t worry too much; the White Ape is under talismans, except for being irate, it can’t break its chains. In upcoming days, I’ll come daily to apply some medicine to ensure it doesn’t cause trouble."
Beast Master Changqing Chuan said frankly.
"This..."
Han Dong hesitated.
It was Bao Longwei’s order; she couldn’t refuse.
"Jiang Feng, what do you think?"
"Jiang Feng, why are you standing so far away?"
Han Dong wanted to discuss with Jiang Feng. Now he was Vice Commander of the Prison; if major accidents occurred in the prison, both bore responsibility, so she wished to hear Jiang Feng’s views.
But upon turning around, she noticed Jiang Feng wasn’t behind her.
But hiding within the prison gate.
Hearing Han Dong’s voice, Jiang Feng covered his mouth and nose, peeking through the door, frowning, "Director Han, hasn’t this big monkey bathed for days, it’s too stinky!"
"Hehehe, Commander Jiang, that’s the nature of beasts. This White Ape is robust, its fur thick, living in damp and dark woods, naturally, it can’t avoid the smell."
Changqing Chuan laughed.
Being a Beast Master, he dealt with Demon Birds all year round, having grown accustomed to various odors.
"What’s the difference with the smell of prisoners? Come closer."
Han Dong sniffed and possibly due to getting used to it through the journey, she didn’t feel uncomfortable and beckoned with a command.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to cover his nose, pretending to resist the strong stench, bowed his head and came to Han Dong’s side.
"Goo-goo!"
"Roar!"
As Jiang Feng appeared.
The White Ape trapped in the prison cart kept watching Jiang Feng, after he came closer, couldn’t help but let out a low growl.
"Quiet!"
