Chapter 133 - 124: Go Beat Up Wei Chen
BOOM! The Copper-Armed Giant Ape carried the boulder to the valley entrance and set it down. The immense weight made the ground tremble.
"Lan’er, my dear, it’s your turn!" Seeing the great ape set down the boulder and walk back, Wei Chen made a ’please’ gesture toward Tie Lan.
"This..." Although she didn’t understand how Wei Chen had done it, Tie Lan knew her own limits. It was absolutely impossible for her to make the Copper-Armed Giant Ape obey her within ten breaths!
"As a Beast Tamer, Lan’er, you should know that this Copper-Armed Giant Ape hasn’t been subjugated by me. My ability to command it doesn’t violate the rules..." Seeing the expression on her face, Wei Chen was indescribably smug. "Now, let me witness the skills of a Beast Tamer!"
As a Beast Tamer, Tie Lan could naturally tell that this Copper-Armed Giant Ape had not become a Demon Pet. But for the life of her, she couldn’t figure out why it was listening to Wei Chen.
"My bet with Tie Lan is open to all of you. If any of you can make the Copper-Armed Giant Ape submit within ten breaths, I will also admit defeat!" Seeing Tie Lan bite her lip, Wei Chen clasped his hands behind his back and scanned the crowd, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"Us..." Tie Long and the others exchanged glances and all shook their heads.
They could fight a Demon Beast to the death, but as for taming one, none of them had that ability!
"Since none of you can do it, just admit defeat! Lan’er, my dear, I didn’t force you this time. You lost a bet on your greatest skill, Beast Taming, so you’ll be accompanying me tonight! Haha..." Wei Chen threw his head back and laughed, his whole body trembling with excitement.
He had been with plenty of women, but he felt a visceral excitement every time he saw Tie Lan. Her wild, resolute personality in particular drove him mad, making him want to pin her down and ravage her mercilessly!
Now that she had lost the bet, she would have to cast off her proud Disguise and lie beneath him like a whore. Just thinking about it, Wei Chen felt like he was losing control of his lower body.
"Alright, I admit..." Seeing the lecherous glint in Wei Chen’s eyes, Tie Lan was filled with disgust. But a loss was a loss. If she didn’t concede, Jiangg Youx would surely make a move, and her entire group would die here!
"Huh, so this is a Demon Beast? So strong, it can even lift a boulder that big. Let me see how your arms are put together..." Before Tie Lan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an irritating voice. Turning her head, she saw that "rogue" named Yangg Yun she had met earlier step out from the crowd. He scratched his head as he walked, approaching the Copper-Armed Giant Ape as if he wanted to touch its arm.
"Yangg Yun, that’s a Demon Beast! It’s dangerous..." ’I really don’t like this good-for-nothing kid.’ But he was one of her own, after all. Seeing him rush over so ignorantly, Tie Lan’s expression darkened, and she quickly tried to stop him.
You can’t touch a tiger’s backside. That’s true even for an Ordinary tiger, let alone a far more powerful Demon Beast. ’For a kid at the Qi Nourishing Realm to go and touch its arm—isn’t that just asking for death?’
’How could he be so old yet so clueless! No wonder he dared to enter the mountains alone. He’s just an idiot!’
"He’s courting death!" From the side, Jiangg Youx saw Nie Yun walk over and the corner of his mouth lifted into a cold sneer.
The members of the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps had been misled by Wei Chen into thinking he was the one who had subdued the Copper-Armed Giant Ape, but Jiangg Youx himself knew the truth very well.
’Before this big guy was injured, I would have been no match for it, let alone able to subdue it!’
’Even with its severe injuries, it took a great deal of effort for me to defeat it!’
’A creature this powerful is incredibly proud. For this kid to so recklessly try and touch its arm—does he have a death wish?’
He could already picture it: in a moment, the kid would be smashed into a meat patty by the ape’s thick copper arm, as dead as one could be... Huh? ’What’s going on?’
Before his schadenfreude could even fully form, Jiangg Youx saw the scene before him and froze, his face a mask of disbelief.
When the ever-proud great ape got a clear look at the young man’s face, it trembled and couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Its dark eyes were filled with terror!
A deep, instinctual fear!
A Peak of Armor Realm Demon Beast with nearly invincible Defense was actually afraid of a boy in the Qi Nourishing Realm?
This sudden scene left everyone in the valley dumbfounded.
"I didn’t think a big fella like you would be so shy!" The boy at the center of it all seemed not to notice everyone’s expressions. He laughed, walked up to the great ape, and reached out to grab its thick arm.
"Such hard arms, no wonder you’re so strong!" The boy circled the great ape like a country bumpkin, finally uttering a line that made everyone want to collapse, before turning and walking back.
"You have to listen to Miss Lan’er, okay? If you’re obedient, I can give you meat to eat!"
’Be obedient, and I’ll give you meat...’ This was the Copper-Armed Giant Ape, a Peak Demon Beast at the Peak of the Armor Realm with intelligence no less than a human’s. For him to spout such childish nonsense, it would be a miracle if the beast didn’t go berserk...
However, to everyone’s utter astonishment, not only did the great ape not go berserk after hearing this, but it even ambled over to Tie Lan fawningly, its massive, dark face breaking into a shocking smile.
It was just that its smile was uglier than a crying face. Anyone faint of heart would probably pass out from the sight.
"This..." While the others were shocked, Tie Lan was completely bewildered. ’Since when was this Copper-Armed Giant Ape so obedient?’
"Miss Lan’er, this big fella isn’t as scary as you think. He’s actually kind of cute. You can try telling it to beat up that Wei Chen. I think it’ll listen!" Ignoring everyone’s shock, Nie Yun spoke softly with a simple and honest look on his face.
’Cute?’ Looking at the Copper-Armed Giant Ape’s smile, which was uglier than a grimace, Tie Lan couldn’t see any connection between this beast and the word "cute." Still, the bet was ongoing. If the great ape really would listen to her and beat up Wei Chen, she would be guaranteed to win!
After a moment’s hesitation, Tie Lan gave the command, though she held little hope it would work, "Go beat up Wei Chen!"
"Have the Copper-Armed Giant Ape beat me up? Haha, Lan’er, that joke isn’t funny at all!" Nie Yun’s voice had been quiet, so no one else had heard him. But Tie Lan’s voice echoed through the valley, and everyone turned to stare at her as if she were an idiot. Even Wei Chen wondered if the girl had lost her mind.
The Copper-Armed Giant Ape had been so obedient to Wei Chen just a moment ago. How could it possibly attack him just because she said so? ’Is this a joke?’
"Hmph. It’s under the control of my True Qi, and you think you can command the Copper-Armed Giant Ape? Dream on..." Hearing the girl’s words, Jiangg Youx snorted coldly. Just as he was about to enjoy the show, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw the great ape’s iron-like arm swing violently toward Wei Chen!
The blow was incredibly fast and completely unexpected. Before Wei Chen could react, it struck him square on the right cheek. With a miserable shriek, he was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily to the ground with his head stuck in the valley’s tall grass.
"Ah..." Everyone stared, dumbfounded.
