Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 376 - 373: Matchmaking, Tangled Love Relations
Chapter 376: Chapter 373: Matchmaking, Tangled Love Relations
“Is this the legendary Nine-Life Cat Demon?”
Wen Qing’er hugged the kitten in her arms with a curious look, gently stroking its soft body, unable to let go and played with it together with Qin Xi.
Luoluo looked helpless, “Senior Sisters, this is my Lifebound Spiritual Beast; please don’t touch it randomly.”
Everything felt by her Lifebound Spiritual Beast was transmitted to her. It would have been fine if Wen Qing’er and the others just stroked the kitten’s head and body, but the two girls pointed here and there on its body, even spreading its hind legs to determine its gender. This made Luoluo somewhat uncomfortable, feeling as if she was the one with her legs spread apart.
Hearing Luoluo’s words, the two girls reacted and hastily put the kitten back on the table.
Qin Feng looked at the kitten with curiosity and said to Luoluo, “Merge with it for a bit; I want to see what your war power is like?”
“Okay, okay, I become very powerful after merging with my Lifebound Spiritual Beast,”
said Luoluo proudly.
Then they saw the kitten leap onto her body, and in the blink of an eye, little Luoluo had transformed.
Now she had a pair of fuzzy cat ears on her head and a slender tail behind her, and her tiny, fair hands grew sharp claws, changing from the original little Luoluo into a cat-eared girl.
“Meow…”
Luoluo tried to make a cat sound and coyly asked with her paw raised, “Do you guys think I look fierce now?”
Qin Feng looked at the cat-eared Luoluo in front of him, nodded, and echoed, “Not bad, ferociously cute.”
“Then can we go to the Otherworld to find my daddy?”
“No!”
Qin Feng refused outright.
Seeing the little Luoluo a bit disappointed, Qin Feng patted her little head and also stroked her soft cat ears, smiling and said, “It’s not that Senior Brother doesn’t want to take you there; it’s really because I still have things to do and can’t get away.
How about you wait a little longer? Senior Sister Li will be back soon too; when she gets back, you can plead with her to take you.”
“Okay then.”
Luoluo struggled out of the clutches of the two curious girls, Qin Xi and Wen Qing’er, de-merged from her Lifebound Spiritual Beast, took back the Nine-Life Cat Demon into the Spiritual Beast Bag, and said, “If Senior Sister also doesn’t take me then, I’ll ask my mother to take me to find my daddy.”
“That’s right.”
Qin Feng smiled and said, “Just say your daddy has been enchanted by the little demons of the Beastman Clan; your mother would definitely rush over immediately after hearing it!”
“Really? Would that method work?”
The naïve little Luoluo asked.

“Of course, it works.”
Qin Feng kept a straight face: “When has Senior Brother ever lied to you? Just try it and you’ll see, the effect will be definitely good. Just remember, you must not rat me out; otherwise, Senior Brother won’t be able to give you any more advice in the future.”
“Mhm mhm mhm, I got it, I’ll keep the secret.”
Luoluo nodded eagerly: “Then I’ll head back first; if my mother finds out I snuck out, she’s sure to punish me by making me memorize Daoist books.”
“Oh, wait a second.”
Qin Feng took out a mini Storage Bag and stuffed it full of snacks for her, saying, “Take this back with you.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
The little Luoluo accepted the Storage Bag, joyously like a little rabbit, said farewell to Qin Feng and the others, then hopped and skipped out of the bamboo forest. Then, she indeed summoned a snow-white and adorable Jade Rabbit, riding the rabbit as she left.
After sending Luoluo away, Qin Feng started to tidy up the chaotic bamboo table and cheerfully invited the two ladies to sit down again.
“Sister Xiaoxi, why did you come over so early? I was actually planning to look for you later.”
Qin Xi smiled gently, “I heard you came back yesterday and wanted to come find you immediately, but I thought you would have things to discuss with your Senior Brother, so I waited until today.”
Wen Qing’er excitedly said, “Senior Brother Qin, Sister Li and I are also going to the Red Flame Demon Realm to fight. We actually mainly came over to seek your advice and to inquire about the details of the Demon Realm.
Just now, with Junior Sister Luoluo here, it wasn’t good to ask, but now you can tell us about the true war power of the Demon Clan.”
“You’re also going to the Red Flame Demon Realm?”
Qin Feng slightly frowned, “Your Creation Lineage has too few disciples, and going there, you would not be able to form an independent war formation but would have to follow behind the other sect disciples in battle.
And with both of your strengths still insufficient, it’s not possible for you to disguise yourselves as the Demon Clan to infiltrate the Demon Domain. In such a case, your presence in the Red Flame Demon Realm won’t provide much of a cultivation experience.”
“Ah?”
Wen Qing’er was somewhat confused, “Master said it would be enough for us to experience the Demon Realm, and he didn’t expect us to achieve any great military exploits, did he?”
Qin Feng was speechless, “If it’s for training, how can you train properly by just following other disciples around?
It’s not wrong to listen to Master, as it’s less likely to result in mistakes, but you should also have some of your own decisions. Otherwise, over time, it can bind your natural talents or even potentially lead you to develop a habit of relying on others, which would be troublesome.
It’s like my master in his early years; although he didn’t develop a dependence on others, his approach to cultivation was too rigid, sticking too closely to ancestral teachings, which resulted in him being trapped in the Primordial Spirit Realm for a thousand years without progress, until this expedition, when he finally found an opportunity for a breakthrough.”
“Are you saying we shouldn’t listen to Master?”
Wen Qing’er’s pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, “That’s not good, right? Master is very kind to us and won’t harm us. If we do something bad behind Master’s back, he would be heartbroken if he found out.”
“I’m not telling you to do bad things behind your elders’ backs!”
Qin Feng was nearly defeated by the girl’s naivety and said helplessly, “And looking at your cultivation, you’ve only recently entered the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and it will take some time to reach the late stage. With such little strength, how much mischief can you really get up to?”
“So, what do you mean, Senior Brother Qin?”
“I think you two, or rather, all disciples of the Creation Lineage below the Golden Core Realm, aren’t really suited for training in the Red Flame Demon Realm, and are actually better off going to the Elf Forest, or even venturing on that continent, which could be more suitable than the Red Flame Demon Realm.”
Qin Feng said, “The Liuling Supreme Elder is currently planning how to move the Elemental Elf Clan without alarming the Elemental Goddess. After you go back, discuss with Master, and it would be best to communicate well with Elder Liuling. Have Elder Liuling use Divine Skills to transform you into the appearance of the Elf Clan. Blending into the Elf Forest could be a good idea.
Hmm, if the Creation Lineage has Great Cultivators infiltrate the higher ranks of the Elf Clan, you might even be able to use some strategies to prompt the Elf Clan to form an alliance with the Beastman Kingdom. With a partnership from the north and the south, along with the various races from the Southern Continent, you could coordinate to oppose the Human Clan nations that dominate the continent.”
As he spoke this far, Qin Feng smacked his forehead, “I’m so smart, to be able to come up with such an idea. Amongst the Beastman tribes, we have disciples from our Beast Taming Sect infiltrating, and soon they’ll control a good deal of power in various tribes. Then, supporting Luo Zhancheng Elder to become the new Beastman King.
In that way, on the surface, it would appear that the Beastman Kingdom and the Elf Clan have formed an alliance, but in reality, it would be our Beast Taming Sect Cultivators who are plotting everything.
Ah, perhaps, the Sect could also send Cultivators to infiltrate the nations of the continent and major church courts, and after gaining a certain amount of power, deliberately provoke actions that aggravate the races of the Southern Continent, forcing them into conflict with the countries and major church courts.
The various races from the Southern Continent have long held grievances against the people from that part of the world, so I believe they would be easily incited. When the Beastman King extends an olive branch, they will surely choose to ally.
Haha, in this way, it becomes a united front of hundreds of races against the Human Clan. Even if the Human Clan ends up defeated, surely no divine beings would suspect anything. As long as the Beastman and Elf Clans can break through the Space Gates of the Light Church and the Nature God System, cutting off the Gods’ ability to send their underlings directly into that world, then that continent would be at our disposal to manipulate!”
The more Qin Feng talked, the more excited he became, but Wen Qing’er and Qin Xi were utterly confused.
They had come to inquire about the specific situation of the Red Flame Demon Realm, so how had Qin Feng ended up talking about wars in another world?
“Afeng, are you okay?”
Seeing Qin Feng pacing around the room deep in thought, Qin Xi asked with some concern.
“Ah? Oh, I’m fine.”
Qin Feng then came back to his senses, “Never mind, what’s the point of telling you all this? You are still of low cultivation, and don’t understand the situation of that world. There’s no use in talking about it.”
With that, once you return, convey exactly what I’ve told you to your master, and I think she’ll understand my intentions and will be amenable to the idea of letting you go to train in the Elf Forest.”
“Really?”
Qin Xi exchanged a somewhat bewildered look with Wen Qing’er, not quite understanding but still obediently nodding their heads: “Okay then, we’ll tell master when we get back. Now tell us about the Elf Clan, so we can make preparations.”
“Alright.”
Without further ado, Qin Feng began to explain what he knew about the Elf Clan. He also took the opportunity to talk about the other races and various Sect churches of that continent.
After a rough explanation, Qin Feng said to Qin Xi, “Sister Xiaoxi, since I’ve only just returned from the Otherworld, I won’t accompany you this time. Since your cultivation is insufficient, be careful when you’re there, do not reveal your identities, and when you face danger, do not act recklessly—retreat if you must.
Nonetheless, the benefits of the Elf Clan are not small; after all, that is a great race with a heritage of over one hundred thousand years. Even though they have declined considerably, their foundations remain strong. If you blend in among them, you should be able to reap quite a few benefits.
Hmm, you might even have a chance to tame a couple of Unicorns as riding tools!”
“Ah? Aren’t Unicorns ninth-level Demon Beasts?”
Wen Qing’er asked in surprise, “According to senior brother’s words, ninth-level Demon Beasts are as formidable as Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators. How could they possibly submit to Foundation Establishment Cultivators like my sister and me?”
“There’s still a good chance of it happening.”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “These Unicorns, having spent years living with the Elf Clan, have no guard against them whatsoever. If you approach them with a pure heart and without any malicious thoughts, you may have a chance to form a contract with the Unicorns.
In other words, over countless years, the Unicorns have been domesticated by the Elf Clan and have lost their wildness, becoming house-raised Demon Beasts. They won’t care about whether the Elves who contract with them have strong abilities; what’s crucial is whether they find their company pleasant or not.”
“Is that so?”
Qin Xi mused thoughtfully, “It seems that Unicorns must possess something akin to a spiritual sensing magic; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to easily feel whether the Elf Clan’s hearts are pure.
In that case, we have a huge room for operation and stand a decent chance of taming two ninth-level Demon Beasts.”
Wen Qing’er also nodded excitedly, “If we can really tame Unicorns, then it’s as though we have Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators protecting us wherever we go, and the vast world will be ours to roam at will!”
“Cough…”
Qin Feng gave a slight cough to interrupt her daydreaming, “You mustn’t just run off anywhere. Not to mention the Cultivation World, even in that continent, there are many who can deal with ninth-level Demon Beasts, and some places may even have god-level powerhouses living in seclusion. They don’t openly seize territories only because they are wary of the overpowering deities of the major Divine Systems and cannot afford to offend them.”
“Oh, got it!”
Wen Qing’er replied, her face still unable to contain her excitement, “After all, ninth-level Demon Beasts are already quite powerful, not only do they have formidable spells, they are swift runners, and can even fly. I feel they are almost like the Heavenly Horse.”
“That’s right, you can think of Unicorns as the Otherworld’s Heavenly Horses.”
Qin Feng said with a smile, “Moreover, Unicorns are highly perceptive. If you do manage to tame them, you won’t need to worry about being deceived in the Cultivation World. Any villain harboring ill intentions towards you will be sensed by the Unicorn, allowing you to take extra precautions.”
Wen Qing’er couldn’t help clapping her hands excitedly, “Really? That’s great!”
Qin Xi teased, “Indeed, that would spare Junior Sister Wen from the risk of being tricked by wild men while traveling outside.”
“Senior Sister, how can you say that about me?”
Wen Qing’er coquettishly tugged at Qin Xi’s sleeve and shook it.
Seeing her with an innocent and adorable expression, Qin Feng nodded in agreement, “With Junior Sister Wen being so lovely, indeed she should have a Unicorn by her side for protection, otherwise it would truly be a pity if she were to be tricked away by male cultivators of other Sects!”
At his words, Wen Qing’er’s cheeks immediately flushed with embarrassment, “You all bully me; I won’t talk to you anymore.”
With that, she ran out like a startled bunny, covering her blush-tinted face.
Curiously, Qin Xi looked at Qin Feng and asked, “Afeng, you wouldn’t be harboring any thoughts towards Junior Sister Wen, would you?”
“Not at all, absolutely not, definitely not!”
Qin Feng saw the disbelief on his little cousin sister’s face and shook his head repeatedly, “Junior Sister Wen is just a child at heart; what could I possibly be thinking about regarding a little girl who hasn’t grown up yet?”
“Really?”
Qin Xi looked at Qin Feng with a smirk, “Little girls can grow up, you know!”
“Uh…”
For a moment, Qin Feng didn’t know how to respond to that.
“Junior Sister Wen is so naive and cute, gentle by nature, and also receives special attention from the Sect; her future is boundless. She’s a good match for you. If you really have any thoughts in that direction, just tell me, and I’ll help you.”
Qin Xi’s face was full of suggestive intent, “If our Qin Family wants to develop, even to become one of the Sect’s major families in the future, you must marry and have children no matter what.
Because from the moment you became a true disciple of the Sect, it has been destined that only the descendants from you are considered the true direct lineage of our Qin Family. Even the Old Clan Chief’s branch will have to depend on you and become a side branch of the family from now on.
Since you have to marry anyway, it’s better to marry someone you know well. I think Junior Sister Wen is quite suitable; how about I play matchmaker for you later?”
“No, no, no, please don’t start anything.”
Qin Feng felt his head grow heavy, “I’m at a critical point in my cultivation where I’m making rapid progress, and I don’t want to be distracted by these matters. You don’t need to worry about them, Sister Xiaoxi.”
“Well, alright then, your cultivation comes first. However, if you change your mind later, remember to tell me. I’ll keep an eye on Junior Sister Wen for you and won’t let any bad men whisk her away.”
After saying this, without waiting for Qin Feng’s response, Qin Xi stood up and chased after someone, “Junior Sister, wait for me…”
In the blink of an eye, the bamboo house was left with only Qin Feng, still disheveled in the wind.
He finally came back to his senses after a long while, sighing helplessly, “What on earth is all this?”
He originally meant that the Confusing God Flower Spirit in Wen Qing’er was very important to the Sect. If the Sect invested a great deal in nurturing Wen Qing’er, only for another Sect to deceive and take her away, it would be a significant loss. That’s why he had said it was a pity.
However, for some reason, these two women either misunderstood him or something else; one ran away in shyness while the other wanted to set him up, causing chaotic matchmaking, which he found rather baffling!
Right now, Qin Feng didn’t have the energy to think about these matters; his cultivation technique wasn’t even fully perfected yet, and he couldn’t afford to be distracted by romantic entanglements that could delay his cultivation and the chance for longevity—that would be the greatest loss.
A momentary passion couldn’t compare with the eternal longevity of becoming an immortal.
Once he had ascended in the Immortal Dao, he would have all the time in the world to slowly consider these matters.
Immortals cultivate the Longevity Dao, not the heartless and unfeeling Heartless Dao. After becoming an immortal, he could still look for a Daoist companion!
At least, that was Qin Feng’s thinking for now.
After a long while, Qin Feng remembered that he had forgotten to tell Qin Xi that he was planning to return to the family in a few days because of the conversation topic being diverted.
Now that his master was in seclusion and he had just returned from the battlefield of the Red Flame Demon Realm, he thought to relax for a while and then focus on cultivation, so he wanted to take this opportunity to go back and help strengthen the family.
“Let it be, I’ll mention it when I go back!”
Qin Feng shook his head, setting this concern aside.
He didn’t leave the Sect immediately because, as the hero of this expedition and the only true disciple to return from the Red Flame Demon Realm, he needed to make appearances in the Sect to inspire the disciples.
A few days later, after running around the Inner and Outer Sect peaks to go through various procedures and boost the morale of disciples about to be deployed, Qin Feng reported to the Internal Affairs Hall and prepared to leave the Mountain Gate to return to his family.
But before he could leave, a disciple delivered a message saying that Elder Kongkong was looking for him.
Qin Feng was surprised; this wasn’t the Red Flame Demon Realm, there shouldn’t be anything Elder Kongkong needed him for at this time, so why was he being sought out?
Although he was puzzled, he couldn’t figure it out, so he decided to go see Elder Kongkong directly. As an elder, Elder Kongkong wouldn’t covet anything he possessed.
