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

Old Master Xiao took out the white flute and with a strange sound, all the beasts in the courtyard stood up. All of their eyes were filled with a thirst for blood.

The beasts advanced towards Xia Muqing.

Xia Muqing raised her eyebrows. This formation was much larger than before. It seemed that they didn’t use their full strength last time. She just wasn’t sure if they were still holding back.

Just as she was about to take out the red flute, she was shrouded by a shadow. It turned out that Jin Chao was standing in front of her.

Xia Muqing was a little surprised. What was this man trying to do?

She patted his back and said, “I have a way to deal with them.”

Jin Chao nodded and replied, “Okay.”

He remained in front of Xia Muqing and didn’t budge at all.

Seeing that he really had no intention of moving, Xia Muqing felt that it was a little weird. But the situation was urgent, and she could only blow the red flute quickly because the ferocious beasts were already close.

The red flute’s sounds were gentler. As soon as the red flute was played, the beasts stopped moving and froze in place.

When Old Master Xiao heard the sounds, he was even more certain that the second half of the Beast Taming Technique was in Xia Muqing’s hands. Greed had swallowed his rationality and he kept playing the white flute eagerly.

The ferocious beasts began to spasm, and their muscles visibly trembled. They fell to the ground and howled in pain.

Xia Muqing couldn’t see clearly what was going on. Jin Chao had shielded her completely, but when she heard their growls, she still felt that something was wrong. The book had written that the sounds of the red and white flute would cause the beasts to escape their control when both flutes were played at the same time. Something was wrong now.

She quickly poked her head out to assess the situation. Some of the weaker beasts were already bleeding from their faces.

Xia Muqing quickly stopped playing the red flute. At this moment, only Old Master Xiao’s white flute’s sounds were heard.

The beasts were no longer in pain, but their ferocity was ignited again and they charged at the two of them.

Jin Chao protected Xia Muqing very well and he attracted the attention of the ferocious beasts alone. None of the beasts caused her any harm.

Xia Muqing’s brain whirred quickly as she thought of a solution. At this rate, not to mention saving the ferocious beasts, even they would perish here.

Old Master Xiao had gone crazy. He looked very different from before.

He laughed out loud and said, “Xia Muqing, as long as you hand over the second half of the Beast Taming Technique, I’ll let all of you off. Otherwise, all of you will be buried here!”

Xia Muqing felt that something was amiss. Why did he look like he had become deranged?

Could it be that he had privately changed the Beast Taming Technique or cultivated the wrong skill?

She sat down and closed her eyes to listen to the sound of the flute.

The strange sounds became syllables in her mind, and then they slowly fused together with the second half of the Beast Taming Technique she had read earlier.

After repeated comparisons, she finally realized what was wrong.

The tune that Old Master Xiao was playing was the second half of the Beast Taming Technique that he had played backward. If he had played it wrongly, this piece would have been…

Xia Muqing’s eyes were still closed. She picked up the red flute and placed it in her mouth. It was the same tune as the one Old Master Xiao was playing, but the sound was more melodious. In the latter half of the piece, it was a completely different tune.

Old Master Xiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He seemed to have realized something too. His eyes were wide open, but because he had expended too much effort, he couldn’t catch his breath and died with his eyes wide open.

The redness in the eyes of the ferocious beasts slowly vanished, and the wounds on their bodies actually healed. They had recovered to their best condition, and in fact, they were faster and stronger.

Xia Muqing stopped playing the flute and looked at the ferocious beasts in front of her. “You’re all free.”

The ferocious beasts howled in unison and tried to attack the Xiao family furiously. The Xiao family members fled in panic as waves of screams sounded.
