Chapter 45: Childhood Friends
Ah Da moved through the Beast Arena like a sovereign inspecting his territory, his gaze proud and commanding as he stared down the soul beasts within.
Sensing Ah Da's terrifying aura, the soul beasts immediately knelt in submission. Any thoughts of resistance vanished in an instant.
However... as Ah Da listened to their pleas for help and complaints about Elder Gong's cruelty, even he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy.
Ever since these soul beasts had been captured and brought here, they hadn't had a single good day. Now, upon seeing such a powerful elder of their kind, it was only natural for them to look upon Ah Da as a savior.
Unfortunately, this soul beast elder also seemed to be under someone else's control. Their chances of escaping were slim. All they could hope for now was a slightly better life going forward.
Ah Da was now loyal to Zhou Sicheng, so he had no conflicting thoughts. He simply relayed the soul beasts' words to Zhou Sicheng.
After listening, Zhou Sicheng couldn't help but glance at Elder Gong.
Noticing the look, Elder Gong asked, "What is it?"
Zhou Sicheng smiled. "Elder Gong, Ah Da told me that these soul beasts are calling him their king, and then they started complaining about you, saying that you..."
Zhou Sicheng didn't even need to finish before Elder Gong could imagine what these beasts were accusing him of. He let out a cold snort. "I feed them, house them, and even provide sparring partners. I treat them like treasured pets, and they still have the nerve to badmouth me? Truly a bunch of ungrateful beasts."
Hearing that, Zhou Sicheng and Qian Duoduo, who was standing nearby, both twitched at the corners of their mouths.
