CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 177 GOLDEN DRAGON AND BLACK DRAGON_1

To more clearly sniff out the scents of Xi Qing and Bei Ji, Tai Seng transformed into his beast form. His silver fur rippled as he carefully sniffed the air.

There were too many Beastmen in Myriad Beasts City, and the scents of Xi Qing and Bei Ji seemed to be masked by something, making them difficult to find.

But Tai Seng was certain that the two young snakes, Xi Qing and Bei Ji, were indeed inside Myriad Beasts City.

He followed his nose all the way to the City Lord’s mansion, where he stopped outside. Strange, why did he feel as if Xi Qing and Bei Ji were inside?

Xi Qing and Bei Ji were indeed inside the mansion, where a resplendent golden male, with the two little snakelets dangling from him, was confronting a Black Dragon in a flashy yet domineering manner.

With his hands on his hips, he asked as if he had seen a ghost, "Have I really seen a ghost? How do I keep running into you everywhere I go?"

Xi Qing listened intently for the heartbeat of the Black Dragon opposite them but heard nothing. Perhaps he wasn’t a bad person?

Xi Qing asked, "Uncle, who is he?"

The resplendent golden male said, "Him? He’s the Young Master of the Black Dragon Clan, arrogant to the core and thoroughly detestable!"

"Jin Tong," Dark Saint’s dark eyes locked onto him. "Why are you here? Weren’t you with your brothers, accompanying that sister your family took in?"

The affairs of the Golden Dragon Clan were also known to the Black Dragon Clan.

That year, a purple light had descended from the sky.

Jin Tong and another young female Golden Dragon had been born at the same time.

The Golden Dragon Clan was overjoyed, and the Black Dragon Clan, along with Dark Saint, had also observed the little female from afar.

But later, the Golden Dragon Clan’s little female went missing.

Jin Tong’s mother was heartbroken. So, Jin Tong’s father brought back a young female Earth Dragon from the outside and gave her the same name as the missing little female: Jin Yao.

At first, Jin Tong’s mother refused to accept the Earth Dragon.

But later, for some unknown reason, Jin Tong’s mother and his four elder brothers grew increasingly fond of that Earth Dragon. They genuinely began to treat her as the original Jin Yao.

Even now, the Golden Dragon Clan had given up on finding the real Jin Yao.

And that Earth Dragon, who was clearly no more than an earthworm, began to show a faint golden glow. She was on the verge of transforming into a true dragon.

Jin Tong became furious. "It’s none of your business! That female isn’t my sister at all!"

He didn’t understand what was wrong with his mother and four elder brothers. They all seemed utterly bewitched by that so-called sister.

But he was her twin brother; he could certainly tell who his sister was and who was not.

How could a straightforward male like him have such an affected, manipulative sister who feigned innocence?

So, in the entire family, he was the only one who had set out to find his sister.

Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked up at this resplendent golden male, realizing this uncle was named Jin Tong.

Jin Tong retorted, his temper flaring, "My family’s affairs are none of your damn business."

Dark Saint withdrew his gaze, not confronting Jin Tong directly.

The Black Dragon Clan and the Golden Dragon Clan had been neighbors for millions of years. Their relationship wasn’t good, but Black Dragons wouldn’t provoke Golden Dragons without reason.

After all, the previous Beast God had come from the Golden Dragon Clan. This meant Golden Dragons were born blessed with good fortune.

This ’fortune’ was a most enigmatic thing.

Otherwise, that Earth Dragon couldn’t possibly have shared the Golden Dragon Clan’s fortune after joining them. She wouldn’t have reached the point of transforming into a real dragon.

The Black Dragon Clan wouldn’t needlessly provoke matters of fortune.

Dark Saint ignoring him further stoked Jin Tong’s fiery temper.

He said, "What are you doing in Myriad Beasts City? Have you taken a fancy to some young female? Are you preparing to marry her?"

Dark Saint’s face inevitably darkened. "What I’m doing in Myriad Beasts City is none of the Golden Dragon Clan’s concern. Speaking of which, what are you doing here? With that temper of yours, did you come to Myriad Beasts City to pick a fight? Myriad Beasts City only has a few fluffy, round-furred Beastmen. They’re hardly a match for you. Are you planning to catch some to keep as pets?"

"Pah! Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty? You’re brimming with hostility, cold as a block of ice. You actually think you’re cool, don’t you? With an attitude like that, it’d be a miracle if any female ever wanted you!"

The two males jostled and pushed against each other, refusing to give way as they entered Myriad Beasts City.

The City Lord of Myriad Beasts City had no choice but to step forward and welcome them.

The City Lord of Myriad Beasts City was Xue Lin. He was a male who, true to his name, was a Kylin Beastman as pure as snow and as clear as a bright moon.

The Lady of Myriad Beasts City was a distinctively black-and-white Beastman. If Si Yan were present, she would instantly recognize the two dark circles around her eyes. This was a panda Beastman!

Of course, in this world, pandas weren’t called pandas. They were known as bear-cats or bamboo-loving bear Beastmen.

"Esteemed lords of the Dragon Clan, why such anger upon arriving in Myriad Beasts City? Please, calm yourselves, calm yourselves," Xue Lin said with a placating smile.

The Kylin Beastman, Xue Lin, strode out. Like Jin Tong, he was a Golden Crystal Beastman.

Jin Tong and Dark Saint looked at Xue Lin, the ferocity in their eyes not yet faded. Their auras clashed for a moment before both, still young, quickly reined in their aggression.

With the smile of a seasoned veteran, Xue Lin asked, "What brings the two esteemed lords of the Dragon Clan to Myriad Beasts City on this special occasion?"

Jin Tong had originally come looking for his sister, but with Dark Saint present, he didn’t want to say anything.

"I’m just looking around." With that, he began to glance about.

Xue Lin turned to Dark Saint, who hesitated briefly before saying, "I’m looking for the Second Miss of Myriad Beasts City."

The marriage document he held had been arranged by the Black Dragon Clan’s Priest. The Priest had encountered the Second Miss of Myriad Beasts City during his travels and had settled the matter almost immediately.

Dark Saint’s mother had also agreed immediately, having no objections to the Priest’s choice.

His mother had agreed, and the Priest had agreed, but he himself had not!

Yet, the Partner Contract he held possessed a certain binding force. Much like the rules of this Beast World, and similar to other partner contracts in this world, it bound both males and females.

If the female party refused to dissolve the partnership, he would be forced to become her Beast Husband.

And he, absolutely! Did! Not! Want! That!

Dark Saint said coldly, "I am the Young Master of the Black Dragon Clan, and in the future, I will be the Clan Leader. My betrothed is a brainless fool. City Lord, I am here to dissolve the Partner Contract."

A Partner Contract determined the rest of a male’s life.

And his life could only be controlled by himself!

He was unwilling to form a pair!

Xue Lin watched Dark Saint, a smile on his face.

When the Partner Contract between his second daughter, Si Yan, and the Black Dragon Clan was established, it was the Black Dragon Clan’s Priest who had forcefully brokered the agreement.

As the Priest finalized the contract, he cackled foolishly, "A huge win! A huge win!"

Xue Lin had been powerless to stop it.

After all, his second daughter was High Priest Bai Feng’s intended Mistress—a child bride he was raising. How could Xue Lin allow other Beastmen to enter into a Zheng Xiong Partner Contract with her?

Though Bai Feng was only a Purple Crystal Beastman, in reality, he was even more fearsome than the Golden Crystal Beastmen.

If they clashed, wouldn’t Myriad Beasts City be reduced to ruins?

But what was done was done; he couldn’t destroy the contract forged by the Black Dragon Clan’s Priest.

This matter had troubled him for many years. Surprisingly, the Young Master of the Black Dragon Clan had now come himself, contract in hand, intending to annul it.

This was supposed to be a good thing...

But his second daughter, Si Yan, had been away from Myriad Beasts City for a long time. That complicated matters.
