Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 771 - 766 Dragon-slaying Beast Master
Chapter 771: Chapter 766: Dragon-slaying Beast Master?
Chapter 771 -766: Dragon-slaying Beast Master?
The scale of the Crystal Palace was even grander than Bai Qi had estimated. Even after travelling for quite a while with the Golden Dragon pulling the Wolong Number, it didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
“Your Majesty, may I ask if your son really killed the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace?”
Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask, looking at the indifferent face of the Dragon Emperor.
According to what he’d learned, the downfall of the Crystal Palace seemed to be because of this little kid, but could a seven-year-old really achieve such a feat?
“Hm? Didn’t Little Gold just mention that?”
The Dragon Emperor pretended to be puzzled, returning the question.
“But doesn’t it seem a bit far-fetched that a seven-year-old has the power to kill dragons?”
Seeing the Dragon Emperor acting like this, Bai Qi was left somewhat bemused.
“Under normal circumstances, indeed, it wouldn’t be likely,”
The Dragon Emperor nodded, his expression suddenly becoming odd.
“However, have you ever heard of a talent that allows one to slay dragons?”
Eh, Dragon Emperor, are you suggesting that we’re on the same page…
Bai Qi looked at the Dragon Emperor again, dismissing his outrageous thought, and returned to the main topic.
“The dragon-slaying talent, does your Majesty’s child actually possess such a talent?”
The Dragon Emperor shrugged helplessly, “Much to my surprise, as one who rose to power with the support of the Dragon Clan, I’ve birthed a rebellious son who yearns to slay dragons.”
“Guess it’s just karma, it feels awful~”
Silently, Bai Qi didn’t say anything, but Bai Qiucha quietly approached Zhuge Chen and asked, “Why do I feel that the Dragon Emperor seems quite proud?”
“As expected, otherwise, would this brat dare to kill the descendant of his own ally? This must be a behavior that’s been indulged in.”
For Zhuge Chen, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but envy flickered in Bai Qiucha’s eyes.
Boom, boom, boom…
Just then, the Golden Dragon abruptly stopped, resolutely standing its ground even as the Wolong Number collided with it.
“Get off now!”
The Golden Dragon turned to look at the Dragon Emperor and his companions, cursing fiercely. Accompanying them were several divine dragons who, like prison guards with prisoners, herded the Dragon Emperor’s four dragon pets into the towering building ahead.
“So rough.”
The Dragon Emperor couldn’t help but shake his head upon seeing this, but he still left the Wolong Number and walked into the Crystal Palace as instructed by the Golden Dragon.
“I have a feeling we’ve been tricked…”
Following behind the Dragon Emperor, Bai Qi’s expression became more and more helpless, and he began planning his exit strategy.
However, as soon as Bai Qi entered the Crystal Palace, he couldn’t help but wince.
The divine dragons who had just been ferociously treating the Emperor’s four dragon pets like criminals had instantly changed; their haughty demeanor shifted into a fawning act, paying their respects to the four dragon pets.
The four dragon pets, apparently accustomed to this, accepted it naturally while holding their heads high.
As for the Golden Dragon, it was unbearable. If it weren’t for its majestic appearance, Bai Qi would have suspected it to be a reincarnation of a dog.
“Your Royal Majesty, how was my acting just now?”
The Golden Dragon, having reverted to a smaller size, circled around the Dragon Emperor for a while, ingratiating itself with him as if seeking praise for its previous performance.
“It was alright, a little forced though.”
The Dragon Emperor patted the Golden Dragon’s head, “In contrast, your four sons’ acting was much better than yours.”
Hearing the Emperor’s words, the Golden Dragon glared at the divine dragons, while the Emperor’s four dragon pets went back to stand beside him, casting a few reproachful glances at the Golden Dragon.
“Old Gold, why have you let the Crystal Palace get into such a state? As we walked here, don’t you think the guard force is a little weak?”
A red divine dragon questioned the Golden Dragon sharply, which responded by humming coldly, “You guys have some nerve. We are all Dragon Emperors, but you seldom come visit throughout the year, so stop complaining.”
“Hmph! That’s because we trust you. Now seeing the current situation, we need to take it back.”
“Good, I can have a vacation.”
“…”
The conversation of the divine dragons was completely baffling to Bai Qi and his group. And it wasn’t until they saw a kid riding a divine dragon burst out from the Crystal Palace that they began to understand.
“Your Majesty! So, it’s a lie that your son killed the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace?”
“That’s a lie.”
“And that the Crystal Palace severed relations with the Dragon Dynasty because of this?”
“That’s a lie.”
“And that your son has a dragon-slaying talent?”
“A lie?”
“Then, that you’re going to die in a month, is that also a lie?”
“That part is true.”
After listening to the Dragon Emperor’s explanation, Bai Qi exhaled a long breath. His brain racing, he quickly sorted out the current information.
The Crystal Palace’s break with humans was a play directed and performed by the Dragon Emperor himself. He had gone to great lengths to put on this performance, evidently for the eyes of certain individuals.
It could have been the tribes, it could have been some rebellious lunatic within the Dragon Dynasty, or it might have been a heretical organization like the Death Round Table.
But whoever it was, the Dragon Emperor’s intention was now clear.
He aimed to eliminate all of these unstable factors affecting humanity’s future, before his death!
“Dad, you’ve finally arrived!”
While Bai Qi was speculating, the little one had reached their group as well. With a spirited jump, he landed into the arms of the Dragon Emperor.
“Easy, kiddo, your old father cannot handle you jumping on him like this.”
The Emperor’s face twisted in discomfort as he caught the kid, cautiously putting him down, admonished, “Never do this again, or else you’ll send your old man to his grave sooner.”
“But dad, aren’t you going to die soon anyway?”
The little child looked at the Dragon Emperor doubtfully, his indifferent manner causing Bai Qi and the others to silently curse him.
Although the dragon was not slain by him, from this performance, it seemed that the child was truly the culprit!
“Indeed, I am dying, which is why you need to learn how to manage the Crystal Palace for your old man,” the Dragon Emperor said, patting the child’s head lightly and looking toward the Five-clawed Golden Dragon who was emerging slowly.
“Old friend, it’s been a while.”
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon nodded, “It has indeed been a long time, so long that I almost forgot we had a Beast Master like you.”
“I apologize, the affairs of the Dragon Dynasty have been too numerous and I cannot leave them, hence burdening you with the management of the Crystal Palace.”
The Dragon Emperor smiled apologetically, and Bai Qi sensed the underlying meaning.
“Your Majesty, is this the Dragon Emperor?”
“Yes.”
The Dragon Emperor nodded, “And he is also my main pet, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon.”
“So, you, Your Majesty, actually established the Crystal Palace?”
With a blank expression, Bai Qi looked at the Dragon Emperor and the Crystal Palace, his mind was overwhelmed by all the information he had received.

“Not entirely. After all, before we moved in, the Crystal Palace already existed. Though it was only a shell, it was still my starting point.”
Pointing at the massive construction overhead, the Dragon Emperor said, “If I’m not mistaken, this Crystal Palace existed since the Mythical Era, but it fell into decline as the mythical creatures disappeared.”
“It was not until I accidentally opened the Crystal Palace and inherited the Dragon Clan’s heritage that the Crystal Palace resurfaced.”
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking around, “By the way, Your Majesty, is there a Silver Dragon of the Space Department in the Crystal Palace?”
“Apart from Silver Dragons, we have all other types of dragons in the Crystal Palace.”
Shaking his head, the Dragon Emperor said, “I once invited the Silver Dragon clan to join, but they dreaded the trouble and therefore refused.”
Dragons who dreaded trouble? That sounded about right. Old Lady Fan had always been indifferent to everything.
“If I recall correctly, the Silver Dragon clan has all run off to the South Sea.”
Looking at Bai Qi, the Dragon Emperor asked, “Are you planning to seek out the Silver Dragons to enhance your dragon pet?”
“That’s the idea.”
Bai Qi nodded. This was indeed one of his objectives, along with visiting the burial site of the South Sea Dark Emperor.
In this era, he might be able to gather more information there.
“That’s good, we’re planning to stop by the South Sea, so we can travel together.”
With that, the Dragon Emperor suddenly took off his robe, revealing the casual clothes hidden underneath and stretched lazily without bothering about his image.
“Oh~ I can finally relax.”
The Dragon Emperor patted Bai Qi’s shoulder, “I’m going to rest now. You three make yourselves at home here.”
“Oh yes, there are quite a few unwanted materials in the Crystal Palace, see if they’re of any use to you, feel free to take them.”
“Anyway, they’ll all be gone after some time…”
After finishing his words, the Dragon Emperor disappeared on the spot, as did his dragon pets. Only the initial Gold Dragon that led the way, as well as the Dragon Emperor’s son and the Third Prince, remained.
“Big brother, are you here for a fight with me?”
The child ran to Bai Qi, inspecting him curiously.
“A fight?”
Seeing the child’s serious expression, Bai Qi wanted to respond, but Beta suddenly spoke.
Uh-uh-uh…
(Human, I would advise against you picking a fight with this little fellow …)
“Uh? Is there something wrong with him?”
Uh-uh-uh!
(It’s not just something wrong, there’s a major problem!)
As Beta finished speaking, Bai Qi felt his vision change – it was Beta sharing his soul sight with him.
The two human-shaped souls closest to Bai Qi were unmistakably Bai Qiucha and Zhuge Chen.
Opposite Bai Qi, there were six dragon spirits, one large and five small, and one overly large Divine Dragon Spirit!
Is the Dragon Emperor’s child’s spirit actually a Dragon Spirit?”
Bai Qi exited the soul sight, then re-entered. After switching in and out several times, he finally confirmed that the Dragon Emperor’s son’s spirit was a Dragon Spirit.
And judging by the size of the spirit, it was not any ordinary legendary dragon spirit.
A Demi-God? Or a Mythical one?
“What’s all this about? Rebirth of the strong? Reincarnation of the Dragon Spirit? Or is this another scheme of the Dragon Emperor?”
Rubbing his chin, Bai Qi’s gaze towards the Dragon Emperor’s son changed drastically.
“Dear little boy, your uncle admits he can’t beat you. But can I introduce a friend to you?”
“Friend? Can I beat him up?”
The waiter cut to the chase, which made Bai Qi and his team sigh.
“We beat enemies, not friends. Friends are meant to play with.”
Patience running thin, Bai Qi explained the basics and summoned Jie Ta.
“His name is Jie Ta, an Elemental Creature. You two can play outside the Crystal Palace, as long as you don’t destroy it, you can play anything.”
Bai Qi smiled at the child while quietly giving Jie Ta a command.
“Jie Ta, find a way to test this child’s strength, and umm… remember to protect yourself.”
Such a unique child appearing here at this time was definitely not a coincidence. Bai Qi felt it was necessary to learn more about him.
