Chapter 464 - Honesty and Three Stories (1/2)

The divine beasts were apex-level existences among the most powerful martial artists of today’s Federation. In the eyes of ordinary people, these were the people who stood at the top of this world. Other aspects were more of speculation and delusion. Strictly speaking, very few people, even masters and grandmasters of the martial artists, could not describe what the state of the divine beasts was clearly.

As a butler of Qilin, his understanding of the divine beasts was obviously much better compared to average martial artists.

Qin Fen sat on the rosewood chair. Steward Hou said slowly, “Come to think of it, you must also know that Ensemble of Heroes may produce a divine beast.”

Qin Fen nodded and Steward Hou revealed a faint smile, “Actually, this news is not considered a secret. Speaking of it, everyone knew Ensemble of Heroes can produce a divine beast, including those who are currently engaged in life-and-death fights on Venus and Saturn in order to compete for a divine beast. Then, why are they still fighting? This is a foolish act in the eyes of many, but…”

Steward Hou’s finger tapped gently on the desktop next to his arm and asked in a questioning manner, “Do you think they are foolish?”

Qin Fen shook his head gently, “Although they can all become beasts, the value is way different. One competed entirely based on his own ability while the other let others set the stage properly before competing.”

Steward Hou nodded continuously, his expression carrying a hint of delight, “Currently it’s not so easy to produce a divine beast on the two major planets. Everyone is almost the same in terms of strength and no one can overthrow the other. One of the conditions for a divine beast to emerge is to either expel the other contenders out of the planet or to let them fully recognize your strength and choose to surrender. However, as the number of planets decreases, between Elysium and Inferno, who would withdraw from the planet? Where can they go after they quit? There is no choice but to fight to the death…”

Qin Fen had a little more understanding of the divine beast and nodded subconsciously.

“In fact, can the beast contenders of Saturn and Mars claim the title of the divine beast before the Ensemble of Heroes?” Steward Hou showed a disapproving look, “The Jade Emperor of Elysium is equally matched as the Ground Treasury of Inferno [1]1. No one can defeat the other party within a short period of time. They are maintaining a kind of competition and under the pressure of this competition, they forced themselves to transform and breakthrough. However, in the path of martial dao, the closer it is to the peak, the harder it is to progress forward. You should already feel so at this point…”

Qin Fen revealed a bitter smile. He had a clear understanding of the experience of suffering from congenital deficiency down the road of his martial dao path. However, the progress forward in this road of martial dao, which was the biggest limitation for all others, was no longer a problem because of the presence of masters and others.

“Stop competing, prevent depletion and wait for Ensemble of Heroes to be held. This is displaying a lack of self-confidence.” Steward Hou’s every gesture showed a little more interest in judging heroes while cooking wine [2],1 “They will fight continuously even if it is momentarily difficult to decide who will be promoted to be a divine beast. They need to fight relentlessly until the day of Ensemble of Heroes. This period of time is more of a kind of pressure and pain so that they will flare-up during the Ensemble of Heroes.”

“Kiddo, the current version of you can go to Saturn and join Elysium or Inferno. Otherwise, create a force to fight for the divine beast.” Steward Hou got up slowly. With his hands behind his back, the old figure swayed out of the stone house and looked at the sky, “I personally suggest that if you can, it is best that you settle down for a while and break into the sixteen-star before going to Saturn.”

Saturn, divine beast! Qin Fen thought over the two important keywords in Steward Hou’s discourse and fell into contemplation. The matters that took place in less than two years’ time were changing quickly in front of his eyes. He released a series of sighs in his heart.

Encounters in life are sometimes amazing. Who would have thought that the person who was still on the verge of survival two years ago would now have the most basic capital to compete for the divine beast?

“The best is still to build another force.” Steward Hou stood outside the house and turned around to look at Qin Fen in the house, “The group of lads around you is not bad, but their ability is not enough to follow you to Saturn to fight yet unless you want to let them all die.”

There were sounds of quick footsteps carrying worry approaching outside the door. A playful smile creased on Steward Hou’s face, “Well, I will not be an old third-wheeler.”

Qin Fen laughed dryly. The footsteps contained the cheerfulness of a little daughter. It was no other than Song Jia’s footsteps.

Opening his arms, the black robe with big sleeves resembled a black eagle in the sky. Qin Fen marveled at Steward Hou’s Wukong technique. Perhaps it’s time to practice it properly and integrate the Wukong technique into his movement technique.

Song Jia was wearing a pale yellow silk cheongsam and little red shoes on her feet. With a faint blush on her cheeks, she appeared in the sight of Qin Fen.

There was no other person on the top of the mountain. Song Jia found Qin Fen and stopped her footsteps immediately. Her hands and fingers were gently stirred in front of her body. The tweaking demeanor was as though it was a completely different person than that of Lady Song Jia in the status of the young queen.

The tip of Qin Fen toes tapped lightly and he sprung a distance. Currently, Qin Fen was already standing at the true peak of fifteen stars. What seemed like an effortless tapping on the ground was enough to let him fly far away.

In the quiet hilltop, the two faced each other speechlessly. After suppressing the urge for a long time, Qin Fen raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and said, “Long time no see…”

Song Jia’s pretty face showed slight disappointment and her little mouth pouted. Having waited and yearned for so long, she didn’t expect that Qin Fen would utter such words after holding back for a long time.

“You have become more beautiful…”

At the second half of Qin Fen’s sentence, Song Jia’s disgruntled face suddenly seared with blooming rose red and her heart was filled with sweetness, secretly delighted that her boyfriend was not a blockhead. The same honeyed words sounded more convincing than coming out from Lin Liqiang’s greasy and smooth-talking mouth.

Qin Fen’s arms wrapped around Song Jia’s body and closed tightly. In an instant, her body was put into his arms. The seductive body scent suddenly penetrated his nose.

“I miss you.” Qin Fen leaned in and gently whispered in Song Jia’s ear, “I was beaten badly by your grandfather for this time’s marriage proposal. It is the first time I was that miserable since my debut.”

Song Jia clenched her fist and gently thumped Qin Fen’s chest, “I am very satisfied that you came but knowing that he is undefeatable and yet still coming forcefully, it made me worried. This…”

Qin Fen imitated Song Jia’s tone, “I am very dissatisfied…”

“You have snatched my words…” Song Jia looked up at Qin Fen. Not allowing her to finish her protest, she received two strong and powerful lips that sealed her cherry lips completely. This made her fell madly in love. Her fair arms also slowly embraced around the back of Qin Fen.

After a long kiss, lips parted.

Song Jia looked at Qin Fen’s body and asked tenderly, “Did it hurt to be beaten by my grandfather?”

Qin Fen was speechless and smirked, “I fainted so many times and rolled all the way from the top to the foot of the mountain. Even though there was true energy protecting my body, it still hurt terribly.”

Song Jia forced herself into the arms of Qin Fen and glued her cheek against his chest. Her words beamed with joy, “Right now, I am the happiest person in the world.”

After hugging each other for some time, Song Jia moved her head out of Qin Fen’s arms. His expression was a little eccentric and her face blushed even more, “Naughty, what are you thinking?”

Qin Fen’s smile carried some awkwardness. Such a beautiful woman in my arms and she’s my girlfriend. Her sexy body closely attached to the body. It is really normal to have some instinctive body reactions. When people are indulged in love, who will deliberately be distracted and use true energy to suppress some physiological reactions?

According to Lin Liqiang’s ‘knowledge’, if a couple hugged together and the male body had no eccentric physiological reactions, then the woman should be more worried.

“You’re too beautiful.”

“Greasy and smooth-talking mouth, you have learned to be naughty from Qiangster.”
