The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

The ferocious beasts weren’t in a hurry. They followed behind like cats after mice, whose target was the Xiao family.

The members of the Tiger Mercenary Group were shocked by this unforeseen event and regained their composure. They looked at Xia Muqing with admiration.

Xia Muqing blinked gently and asked, “Don’t you want to see what would happen to the Xiao family?”

They nodded vigorously. Of course they wanted to, even in their dreams.

Xia Muqing led them towards the Xiao residence. She raised her head and stuck out her chest, as if she was venting all her grievances for the past few days.

Many people witnessed Xiao Chenglin fleeing desperately for his life, as he was being chased by a ferocious beast. They were all astonished.

In the past, this sight would always happen to other people. This was the first time a member of the Xiao family was being hunted and chased.

After asking around, they knew that the Xiao family was in trouble so, everyone trailed after them.

This also caused the crowd behind Xia Muqing to swell considerably.

This also showed how poor the relationships the Xiao family had with the others. It wasn’t unfair for them to end up like this.

When they arrived at the Xiao residence, the patriarch of the Xiao family stood at the door with an ancient whistle in his hand. The sound of a bronze gong being struck sounded.

The beasts began to struggle again, their bodies twitching uncontrollably with fear in their eyes.

Xiao Chenglin snorted arrogantly. “Hmph! These beasts actually dare to bite their master? Grandpa, I’m going to slice all of them into pieces.”

The ferocity in his tone made one tremble in fear.

Those who had come to watch the commotion immediately retreated with fear in their eyes.

The Xiao family members scanned the people present and their eyes darted on Xia Muqing. “You’re the one who broke our family’s Beast Taming Technique?”

Xia Muqing raised her head and answered, “Yes.”

Old Master Xiao asked solemnly, “How did you do that?”

They only had the first half of the Beast Taming Technique. They had searched for many years for the second half but to no avail. Perhaps it was in this young girl’s hands.

Xia Muqing didn’t know how they could control the ferocious beasts. She had only used the beast soul pearl in her body to help these beasts escape the Xiao family’s control.

Her gaze landed on the whistle in Old Master Xiao’s hand, and her eyes darkened. “I naturally did what the Xiao family did.”

Old Master Xiao didn’t doubt her claim. “You have the second half of the Beast Taming Technique?”

Xia Muqing’s eyes flashed but she didn’t deny it.

Old Master Xiao suddenly changed his tone and smiled kindly. “You’re connected to the Xiao family by fate. The Beast Taming Technique is split into the first and second half. As long as you hand over the second half, I’ll give you the first half. How does that sound?”

Xia Muqing pretended to mull over his suggestion before she asked, “What if you lie to me?”

Old Master Xiao’s smile became even more benevolent. “We’ll be allies from now on. We’ll share the resources in the Sunset Mountains. You can join our Xiao family. How about I treat you as an esteemed elder guest?”

Xia Muqing rubbed her chin and seemed to be deep in thought.

Jiang Yifan frowned. “Sister, their words can’t be trusted.”

Old Master Xiao glanced at her. “Miss, if you’re so capable, why do you have to be with low-ranking mercenaries? You’ll only ruin your reputation.”

Everyone felt humiliated.

Xia Muqing suddenly laughed and said, “What you said makes sense. I can consider it, but I want to take these ferocious beasts with me.”

Knowing that these ferocious beasts wouldn’t have a good ending, Xia Muqing took the opportunity to make a request.

Old Master Xiao agreed readily. With the Beast Taming Technique, they could have as many ferocious beasts as they wanted.

Xia Muqing patted the ferocious beasts on the ground and said, “Let’s go back to the mountains.”

The ferocious beasts looked back at the Xiao residence, their eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.

Sensing their thoughts, Xia Muqing said gently, “I’ll let you have your wish.”

They thanked her again before leaving.

Xia Muqing’s words were mysterious and ambiguous. The Xiao family members didn’t understand, and Old Master Xiao only advised, “Miss, it would be wise if you don’t be too soft-hearted towards these beasts.”
