"Hey, you can't leave; your sister said you would accept my challenge," Aguduo was getting anxious.

"My sister? Then do you know what her name is, where she lives? Whoever agreed to you should be the one to contest with you," Ye Lingyue retorted with a pursed lip.

Aguduo was stumped.

Living in the Ancient Forest, she was constantly in the company of beasts, not to mention that even human language was a struggle for her to learn, let alone spar with the sharp-tongued Ye Lingyue.

Thinking it over, she felt that what Ye Lingyue said made some sense; she really didn't know Lan Cai'er's name or where she lived, where to find her to argue... Aguduo regretted not asking Ah Hua and Houhou just to eat the female warrior.

"I don't care; I want to challenge you anyway, and if you don't agree, I'll command the Spiritual Beasts to attack and eat everyone in your city," Aguduo resorted to threatening outright, no longer bothering with reason.

Aguduo was determined to challenge; she was even more eager to witness those two powerful Spiritual Beasts of Ye Lingyue.

Just then, a voice as fine as a mosquito's buzz pierced Aguduo's ears.

"Zhiyo (Look, here comes another blind one to court death)"

"Chirp chirp~"

"Zhiyo (An impolite wild person, boss could squash her with a fingertip)"

"Chirp chirp~"

Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were unfairly gabbing away.

Upon realizing that the ones assessing her were two tiny creatures, Aguduo fumed with anger.

"I'm so angry, you are the ones courting death, the real monsters. Aguduo is the most beautiful wild woman in the whole Ancient Forest."

Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were stunned; wow, that wild woman actually understood their language, how fantastical.

Apart from their boss Ye Lingyue, this was the first time Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya had encountered someone who could understand the language of beasts. No wonder all those large Spiritual Beasts were so submissive to her; clearly, her skill in beast language had been a big help to her.

But after being momentarily stunned, Little Zhiyo only became more active instead of restraining itself.

It made a face at Aguduo and even wiggled its backside at her.

"Zhiyo (Beautiful? You're probably the only wild woman in the Ancient Forest)"

"Zhiyo (You still want to challenge? Believe it or not, one fart from me could blow away your whole bunch of low-level Spiritual Beasts)"

The better she could understand it, the better; it would be best to just infuriate this wild woman to death.

Like boss like follower, after Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya followed Ye Lingyue, they became increasingly venomous in their speech.

Aguduo was so enraged she was close to transforming into a mother Tyrannosaurus and breathing fire.

"I'm so angry, refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit, attack, I'll tear everyone inside to shreds." Wild and untamed, Aguduo made a hand gesture with one imperious move, while her mouth emitted a piercing and shrill cry.

Like an army hearing the marshal's command, countless Spiritual Beasts began to stir behind Aguduo.

These Spiritual Beasts emerging from the Ancient Forest, all obeyed the wild woman Aguduo's order, hundreds and thousands of them leaping up in an attempt to scale the city walls.

But as soon as they touched the mirror-like city walls, the Spiritual Beasts screamed; the walls suddenly poured down a torrent of hot oil. Once the hot oil touched the Moon Iron-made walls, it instantly heated up, reaching a shocking temperature.

The Spiritual Beasts were scalded and fell to the ground, rolling on the floor with their skin cracked and flesh torn open.

"This is outrageous." Aguduo couldn't stand to see the Spiritual Beasts in agony. Looking up at Ye Lingyue standing on the city wall, a spark flickered in her defiant eyes.

Suddenly, another long cry rang out, and this time, the sky was filled with dense spiritual birds.

"Well, well, she can even control spiritual birds," Ye Lingyue acknowledged Aguduo's skill with a respect for talent growing inside her.

The spirit birds in the sky circled above Moon City, and before they could come close, countless cold arrows exploded from the city wall.

"Meteorite Iron!"

Seeing the arrows that pierced through the throats of Fourth and Fifth Rank spirit birds the moment they tore through the air, Aguduo's face finally changed color.

She had experienced the ferocity of arrows made from Meteorite Iron before. Among the poachers from Beiqing, a few extremely formidable Martial Artists used Meteorite Iron Arrows, but they were a minority.

Yet, the walls of this city were equipped with a large number of Meteorite Iron Arrows, which was a surprise to Aguduo.

Unable to bear watching the spirit birds being harmed needlessly, Aguduo could only order the spiritual birds to retreat immediately.

Even so, after two rounds, Aguduo had already lost more than twenty percent of her Spiritual Beasts and spirit birds, which was much worse than any ambush she had encountered in the Ancient Forest before.

"You, devious and cunning." Aguduo pointed at Ye Lingyue resentfully. She understood now that her opponent had known about her challenge and had set up traps in advance, waiting for her to take the bait.

"Miss Aguduo, you must not know that we in Daxia have a saying, 'All's fair in war.' You had better retreat quickly," Ye Lingyue said indifferently.

"No way. I must challenge you today. If you refuse to accept my challenge, I will sit at the city gate and wait," Aguduo said stubbornly, and without another word, she really did sit down cross-legged, determined not to give up until the challenge was met.

Seeing this, Ye Lingyue knew that her stratagem was already mostly successful. Pretending to have a painful headache, she chuckled bitterly.

"I can accept your challenge, but with one condition. If you lose, from today onwards, you must become my servant, and all your Spiritual Beasts shall serve me. But if you win, I'll let you be the City Guardian General of Moon City," Ye Lingyue said, leaving Aguduo stunned.

"What do you mean by City Guardian General?" Aguduo asked, clearly puzzled.

"It means you'll be the highest-ranking official in the city, and everyone in the city will have to listen to you," Ye Lingyue explained gently.

"Bigger than you?" Aguduo pressed.

"Of course," Ye Lingyue nodded emphatically.

"Fine, I accept your terms. Come on, let's have a contest," Aguduo got into position.

"Hold on, a regular fight is so uninteresting. How about we have a different kind of contest?" Ye Lingyue suggested with a smile.

"That sounds reasonable, how shall we compete?" Aguduo didn't believe Ye Lingyue could come up with any clever tricks.

"You see, you have many Spiritual Beasts, and I too have Spiritual Beasts. Why don't we compare our Spiritual Beasts to see whose are more powerful?" Ye Lingyue suggested, pointing to the small Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya squatting on her shoulders.

"Those two?" Aguduo's eyes widened.

Could those two even count as Spiritual Beasts? In the vast Ancient Forest, these two little creatures could only be called baby beasts.
