Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue felt a tremendous shock, her gaze towards the phantom of Tai Xu Zhenzi filled with disbelief.
This old man really dares to think and say such things! A Heavenly Guardian Beast, just like that, to be given away?
Chen Li, however, did not react much. He merely asked calmly, "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to tame it and end up being swallowed by it?"
Tai Xu Zhenzi chuckled awkwardly; after all, Old Madam was here! Although Old Madam was not particularly talented, she would risk her life to ensure Chen Shao's safety, wouldn't she?
Heh, Chen Li let out a light laugh, but his eyes were filled with sarcasm. "You think your plan is clever? You can't handle the Awakening Divine Beast yourself and want us to act as your shield?"
Upon hearing this, Tai Xu Zhenzi's phantom figures swayed slightly, clearly flustered. His old face had never been so red in all his years. Being exposed by a young brat like this—what kind of situation was this!
"Ancestor," Tai Xu Zhenzi chuckled awkwardly again, his voice more pitiful than crying. "Old Madam is just trying to protect herself!"
Chen Li shot him a sideways glance, his face full of mockery as if to say, "Do you think I'm foolish?"
Shen Qingyue watched from the side, nearly unable to suppress her laughter. This old man really wouldn’t shed tears until he saw the coffin; only when Chen Li made things clear did he finally speak the truth. He deserved to be frightened.
"Enough with the pretense," Chen Li said impatiently, waving his hand. "Quickly tell us what’s going on."
Tai Xu Zhenzi let out a slight sigh of relief and finally admitted honestly, "Ancestor, I indeed have been hiding something. Old Madam needs to see who is truly righteous and kind-hearted."
Hmph! Chen Li snorted coldly and remained silent, just staring at him.
Tai Xu Zhenzi felt uneasy under his gaze and could only force himself to look at Shen Qingyue. But Shen Qingyue didn’t give him any favorable expression either; she coldly said, "Old man, I'll give you one last chance. You need to clarify what’s going on with this Heavenly Guardian Beast. Otherwise, I can’t stop my brother!"
Tai Xu Zhenzi nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! The Heavenly Guardian Beast is about to emerge from Old Madam's space!"
"What?!" Shen Qingyue exclaimed in shock, her face turning angry as she glared at Tai Xu Zhenzi. "What did you say?! It’s about to emerge?"
"Please lower your voice!" Tai Xu Zhenzi was nearly in tears. If it heard us planning this, our lives would be forfeit!
Shen Qingyue understood the seriousness of the situation and furrowed her brows before falling silent.
The Heavenly Guardian Beast could only appear at the dawn of creation. Their existence is as powerful as the heavens and the earth, representing the mightiest beings in a realm. If they have not awakened, one might still attempt to establish a bond with them. However, if they truly awaken, even if they are just cubs, they are incredibly difficult to tame. To make them recognize their master is akin to battling the very forces of nature! Who could withstand that?
Chen Li, despite possessing authority, was not well-versed in the nature of these divine beasts. Although he did not fully understand Tai Xu Zhenzi's words, he sensed something was amiss. He fixed his gaze on Tai Xu Zhenzi and continued, "Old man, stop playing games with me and speak plainly!"
As he spoke, Chen Li spread his small hands, revealing more than ten Explosive Talismans that appeared in his arms and palms.
Tai Xu Zhenzi wore a mournful expression, and his Divine Soul trembled slightly. "Ancestor, Old Madam would never dare deceive you! The Heavenly Guardian Beast has just emerged into the world; it is indeed weak at this moment and not nearly as formidable as the legends suggest." He chuckled awkwardly at the end.
Chen Li raised an eyebrow. "So what? What do you want me to do?"
Tai Xu Zhenzi rubbed his hands together, a sycophantic smile plastered on his face. "Right now, it is in a weakened state. If you can take it under your wing, it would be far more precious than the inheritance treasures given to that cunning little brat by Old Madam!"
Chen Li stroked his chin, feeling slightly intrigued. Although this old man had ulterior motives, he wasn't speaking nonsense at this moment. After all, even a powerful being like Tai Xu Zhenzi could end up being bullied into a pitiful state; one must be cautious.
However, since he had yet to clarify what was truly going on, he couldn't afford to show any displeasure towards Tai Xu Zhenzi. He immediately adopted a serious expression and asked, "How do I do that?"
Upon hearing this, Tai Xu Zhenzi perked up instantly. His Divine Soul seemed to brighten as he hurriedly explained, "The Heavenly Guardian Beast places great importance on bloodline and power! You simply need to drop your blood into its shell at the moment of its birth and communicate with its Divine Soul to make it submit; then it will naturally recognize you as its master!"
"Is it really that simple?" Chen Li questioned skeptically.
"Of course it's not that simple," Tai Xu Zhenzi replied with a bitter smile. "The Heavenly Guardian Beast cannot be so easily subdued. You will need to take significant risks; if it refuses to acknowledge you as its master, its beast soul will fight against you. You must exert all your strength to make its Divine Soul submit in order to complete the bond."
At the end of his explanation, Tai Xu Zhenzi slightly turned his head away, clearly avoiding Chen Li's gaze.
Chen Li instantly understood. This old man was being vague!
His tone immediately turned cold. "Old man, you haven't finished your words, have you? Just picking up on hearsay?"
Chen Li shot a sidelong glance at Tai Xu Zhenzi, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "You always leave things half-said. When are you going to change that? Hmm? Do you think you're living too comfortably and want to meet the King of Hell sooner?"
Tai Xu Zhenzi felt a chill run down his spine under Chen Li's gaze. He forced a dry laugh but dared not conceal anything further. "Ancestor, Old Madam, I was just worried about scaring you! Acknowledging a master is indeed perilous; one misstep could lead to being backlashed by the beast's soul. At best, you'd be severely injured; at worst, your Divine Soul would be destroyed!"
By the end, Tai Xu Zhenzi's voice began to tremble. He was genuinely afraid of Chen Li; who could withstand someone pulling out talismans at the slightest disagreement?
"Oh? Divine Soul destroyed?" Chen Li elongated his tone, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he looked at Tai Xu Zhenzi. "So, old man, are you saying I should know my limits and willingly give up this great opportunity?"
"No, no, no! Old Madam doesn't mean that!" Tai Xu Zhenzi was nearly in tears.
No matter how he explained, it seemed futile. Yet he also realized that if he couldn't serve this young master well, he would truly be finished.
Immediately, he began to flatter him. "Old Madam, it's because I believe in your strength! You are the Child of Destiny, the bearer of fortune; how could a mere pup of a Heavenly Guardian Beast possibly pose a challenge for you?"
