Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 298 - 273: Apology and Compensation

A cold snort came out of nowhere, relieving Li Cunxu’s predicament.

The Golden King made a move from afar; after all, this was the territory of the Human Race. Moreover, the recent Demon God Sect attack at the Golden Secret Realm had left the Golden King on high alert towards any King entering the realm.

The Spirit Divine Dragon had been monitored by the Golden King from the very beginning.

The Spirit Divine Dragon let out a little snort, retracting its imposing aura in discontent.

In fact, the Spirit Divine Dragon should be grateful to the Golden King for saving its life. If Li Cunxu couldn’t withstand the pressure, he might activate the life-saving jade, and then the Spirit Divine Dragon would pay the price of its life for releasing its aura.

The Spirit Divine Dragon mocked coldly, "Humans today are so arrogant, they even look down on my race. It’s truly ridiculous; if you don’t make a pact, someone else will want to."

"Son, let’s go."

Li Cunxu said coldly, "Sir, are you leaving just like that? Aren’t you going to apologize for your actions just now?"

Turning towards the elevator, the Spirit Divine Dragon turned back, laughing heartily, "You want me to apologize? Human, you’re really funny."

The Spirit Divine Dragon initially wanted to teach Li Cunxu a lesson for his disrespect. But the Golden King’s imposing aura appeared again, clearly backing this human. Realizing this was human territory, and it was not in the right, the Spirit Divine Dragon gave up.

However, it still held a grudge against Li Cunxu in its heart.

If I meet you in the wild, I’ll let you know the consequences of provoking the Dragon Race.

The Dragons are like that—proud and vengeful. A grudge could be remembered for thousands of years.

The Spirit Divine Dragon flicked its tail, saying to the Spiritual Energy Dragon, "Son, what bad luck, we encountered a mad human."

The Spirit Divine Dragon wrapped its tail around the Spiritual Energy Dragon, ready to fly away quickly.

"Sir, try leaving."

Li Cunxu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke softly.

The Spiritual Energy Dragon looked at the Spirit Divine Dragon, puzzled, as to why his father was actually stopped by just one sentence from this human.

The Spirit Divine Dragon didn’t want to stop, but a terrifying killing intent locked onto it. It was sure that if it moved forward, it would die.

The Spirit Divine Dragon looked back in disbelief at Li Cunxu; the source of the killing intent came from him.

Li Cunxu was only a Golden-level Beast Master, so the terrifying killing intent was definitely not released by him. It must be some life-saving item on him; humans are said to commonly use strong life-saving jade for protection.

"Human, what do you want?"

Li Cuncun said blandly, "An apology and compensation. Your aura scared me."

The Spirit Divine Dragon, as a noble dragon with a noble bloodline and the title of a mythical beast, how could it apologize?

The Spirit Divine Dragon said sulkily, "Human, you’re making things difficult for me."

Li Cunxu sneered, "How dare I threaten a dragon that humiliated me with its aura just now?"

"Human, that thing is very precious. I don’t believe you dare to harm me just for that trivial matter."

"Want to try?"

Li Cunxu clenched the life-saving jade, and the Spirit Divine Dragon felt the murderous intent grow stronger, like a bullet loaded in a gun, ready to execute it at any moment.

The Spirit Divine Dragon was scared and hurriedly called out to stop.

"Stop, stop, stop, young man, don’t be impulsive."

The Spirit Divine Dragon was very proud but also very afraid of death.

The older and stronger one is, the more afraid of death they become.

The Spirit Divine Dragon was not only afraid of death but also of dying in a disgraceful way, leaving a bad name after death.

For releasing aura to embarrass a young human, yet failing in that and being killed by a human youth with a life-saving item—that kind of death would be too bizarre, definitely making it onto the most shameful deaths list of the Dragon Race.

The Spirit Divine Dragon said, "Is this really necessary? Besides, if you kill me, you will incur endless vengeance from my race."

Li Cunxu said, "Necessary? How not? A dragon’s whole body is a treasure, especially a Spirit Divine Dragon with the title of a mythical beast. If I slaughter you, I can obtain a heap of treasures, which I greatly crave. Moreover, you started this incident. I cannot tolerate grievances. Killing you in a moment of rage is reasonable and legitimate, and the Spirit Divine Dragon race won’t blatantly retaliate against me."

The Spirit Divine Dragon saw from Li Cunxu’s eyes that he was sincerely tempted by its body, feeling a chill and anger.

Anger at how a mere human dared eye its body, but it dared not show it.

If Li Cunxu really made a move, it would really die, but it cherished its life.

"I’m sorry."

"Speak up."

"I’m sorry."

The Spirit Divine Dragon raised its voice slightly.

Li Cunxu said, "Compensate."

The Spirit Divine Dragon took out a pile of treasures, glittering with jewels.

Seemingly lavish, yet entirely insincere.

The Dragon Race is greedy; in terms of treasure seeking, except for treasure-hunting mice, few can match them. This pile of treasures might look good to the Human Race but to the immensely rich Dragons, it was just trash.

Trying to dismiss Li Cunxu with what they considered trash, Li Cunxu could only think they were overestimating.

Li Cunxu said blandly, "Not enough."

The Spirit Divine Dragon, as if suppressing its anger, took out another pile of treasures.

In response, Li Cunxu could only marvel at how their acting in treasure matters was truly masterful.

Li Cunxu said, "Since you have no sincerity in compensating, don’t blame me for taking it myself. I want your reverse scale."

"Absolutely impossible! Dragons have a reverse scale; touching it means death."

The Spirit Divine Dragon responded without hesitation.

Li Cunxu said, "I don’t mean the reverse scale on your body, but the one that fell off when you evolved from Spiritual Energy Dragon to Spirit Divine Dragon."

The Spirit Divine Dragon said, "Also impossible."

"Then you should go die. I’ll find it on your corpse."

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait, wait! Why are young humans so impatient these days?"

Under the threat of death, the Spirit Divine Dragon compliantly handed over the reverse scale.

The Spirit Divine Dragon left in a fluster, while Li Cunxu played with the reverse scale in his hand.

"Bargaining, using the method of lowering psychological expectations, really worked."

If Li Cunxu had asked for the reverse scale that fell during the transformation from the start, even with the threat of death, the Spirit Divine Dragon wouldn’t have offered it so readily. The Dragon Race is greedy and stingy.

Therefore, by initially asking for the reverse scale without specifying which one, Li Cunxu made the Spirit Divine Dragon mistakenly believe he wanted the reverse scale on its body.

The Golden King’s figure appeared beside Li Cunxu.

This was a kind of long-distance projection skill.

The Golden King said, "You’re quite bold, kid, to even dare extort the Spirit Divine Dragon."

Li Cunxu said, "If I don’t extort it, the humiliation from its imposing aura would leave me in a foul mood."

"Aren’t you afraid of its revenge? Besides, they are known for their unity. If you hit the young ones, the old ones will come."

"I’m not afraid of its revenge. With its apology and compensation, this matter is over. But if it gets angry and seeks revenge, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Life and death are determined by fate. As for the Spirit Divine Dragon race’s retaliation, it’s not like they’re the only ones with backing; they have the Spirit Divine Dragon race behind them, and I have the Human Race behind me."

The Golden King applauded, "Well said, they have the Spirit Divine Dragon race behind them, and you have the Human Race behind you."

Li Cunxu didn’t realize this statement brought considerable trouble to the Spirit Divine Dragon race.

This statement made the Golden King feel the Spirit Divine Dragon was too domineering, daring to release its aura under his nose to oppress a Human Race prodigy, plotting the golden fortune of the Human Race, and even daring to use its clan as a threat.

The Golden King couldn’t deal with the Spirit Divine Dragon, but the alliance’s upper echelons could. So, the Golden King reported to the alliance, and the alliance’s upper echelons also felt the Spirit Divine Dragon race was a bit too arrogant, launching a crackdown targeting the Spirit Divine Dragon race.
