My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 745 - 112: His Excellency Shao Zifeng

Heavy breathing—

In the darkness, continuous heavy breaths could be heard. Shao Zifeng’s body seemed to be bound by something, allowing him only to watch as those four pairs of faintly glowing eyes grew larger and larger.

"Roar!"

That’s when the blinding firelight broke through the darkness.

Burning dragon wings wide spread, Qiuqiu’s body returned to its normal size within the flames.

It positioned Shao Zifeng beneath itself, tilting its head up defiantly to stare coldly at the presence in the darkness, corners of its mouth spitting out scorching flames, and emitting a low threatening growl from its throat. novelbuddy-cσ๓

The four pairs of eyes halted their movement, and a profound voice echoed in the depths of Shao Zifeng’s mind.

"Oh? The scent of a high-ranking kin."

The flames on Qiuqiu’s body flickered slightly. Shao Zifeng repressed his emotions and asked softly, "Who are you?"

"I?"

After a brief silence, Shao Zifeng saw an enormous bird’s beak-like dragon snout slowly reveal itself within the range of the firelight, covered with pale blue down, and higher up were four pairs of huge dragon eyes set in an inverted figure-eight pattern, with two pale blue dragon horns pushing forth from the lush mane towards the sky.

Its eight eyes watched Shao Zifeng, and the profound voice carried a trace of pride, "I am the Sky King, the Guardian of the Sidmondk Kingdom, Duke of the Kanteli City State, Sigvald Kantli the Third."

Qiuqiu and Shao Zifeng were taken aback, not so much by its string of titles, but by its sheer size.

In comparison, Qiuqiu, over ten meters long, was like a baby before it, not even the size of its head.

After announcing himself, Sigvald Kantli paid no heed to Shao Zifeng and instead turned his gaze to Qiuqiu, "I can feel the nobility in your blood, as dazzling as the midday sun, young Flame Palm controller, tell me your name."

Qiuqiu looked bewildered as it blinked its eyes, the surging flames on its body slowly extinguished, then it turned to Shao Zifeng as if seeking help.

Shao Zifeng cleared his throat, "Ahem... Lord Sigvald."

"Impudent!" The thunderous tempest seemed to stir within Sigvald’s eight eyes, his long mane moving on its own, swirling with unfettered pride: "A mere human who knows no manners, address me as Duke!"

Shao Zifeng’s eyes twitched slightly.

What are you yelling for, aren’t we all dukes.

However, it clearly didn’t care about Shao Zifeng’s reaction, its eight eyes once again turned to Qiuqiu, the voice carrying a hint of indignation, "As a high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, even if you have noble blood, you should still show the proper humility in the face of your peers instead of having your servant insult me."

"Your arrogance is enough to bring shame to your bloodline."

Sigvald continued his sermon, and though Qiuqiu was angry at it for scolding Shao Zifeng, it didn’t know how to retort.

Having lived a hard life since childhood, and traveling north and south with Shao Zifeng, Qiuqiu would just charge at anyone it disliked, but it had never had... a dragon talk to it this way before, making the atmosphere suddenly awkward.

Seeing Sigvald’s patience wane, Shao Zifeng made a secret gesture with his hand.

Hum!

A Space Rift slowly unfolded, and the brilliant starlight shone in the darkness.

Sigvald’s gaze grew cold, a fearsome storm brewing again in his eight eyes, "Who is it!!"

Boom!

A powerful storm appeared out of nowhere, and Shao Zifeng felt an immense force strike him, his clothes torn by the wind’s blade-like lashes.

Qiuqiu clutched Shao Zifeng, its eyes dancing with flames of rage.

Just then, a slender hand emerged from the radiant starlight, with solidified elemental particles swirling around its elegant fingers, as a star-blue ray instantly pierced through the storm.

"Hmm?"

Sigvald’s pupils contracted as he gazed intently at the starlight sparkling like the Milky Way.

Elemental particles within the starlight rapidly converged, forming star-blue crystal steps that floated in mid-air.

Click!

The high heels touched down on the steps, echoing ethereally, as Lingling, dressed in a resplendent gown and holding the Starlight Scepter, slowly descended the staircase, her figure enveloped in a faint starlight that made her face indistinct.

Sigvald felt the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from Lingling and squinted his eyes to ask, "And who might you be?"

Lingling stood beside Shao Zifeng, looking up at the colossal dragon head above, "Respected Duke Sigvald, may your wings never cease to flurry like the storm."

Sigvald’s gaze softened a bit as he complimented in an ancient language brimming with olden charm, "Respected madam, the starry night shall become ever more enchanting because of your presence."

Hearing their conversation, Shao Zifeng suppressed the urge to snicker and leaned closer to Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu exhaled flames from his nostrils and wrapped a claw around Shao Zifeng, watching Lingling with great interest.

Lingling’s mouth curved into a slight smile as she bowed gently, "Respected Duke Sigvald, I come from the Duchy of Bauhinia, currently serving as the Secretary Officer. Please allow me the honor of introducing our esteemed Duke of Bauhinia."

"Oh?" Sigvald clearly enjoyed the formality, swiftly grooming his disheveled mane with a claw and looking at Lingling with a stern expression, "With the Secretary Lady’s company, I presume the Duke of Bauhinia must be a mighty member of the Dragon Clan. I am eagerly looking forward to meeting him."

Lingling winked at Shao Zifeng and then introduced with solemnity, "Before you stands the champion of the Yundu Region qualifications, victor of the National University Cup, Guardian of Binhai City, master of both fire and ice, pioneer of the Daxia S01, the supreme leader of the Bauhinia Principality, the embodiment of kindness and valor, Duke Shao Zifeng... His Grace."

Pfft...

The goddamn Shao Zifeng His Grace.

Shao Zifeng stole a glance at Qiuqiu, only to see the little guy puff out his chest in pride, appearing thoroughly pleased with himself.

Despite feeling utterly embarrassed, Shao Zifeng managed to keep his composure.

Sigvald regarded Shao Zifeng with some skepticism; in its understanding, titles of nobility in Sidmondk were granted only to mighty members of the Dragon Clan.

But...

This human did not seem to possess any formidable strength; moreover, Sigvald had never even heard of those jumbled titles.

In contrast, that fire dragon seemed to fit its notion of nobility much better.

Sensing the dragon’s confusion, Lingling covered her mouth and coughed lightly before adding, "This is Qiuqiu Bauhinia, His Grace’s most trusted and powerful Dragon Rider, the Flame Punishment Judge. With its aid, His Grace, the Duke of Bauhinia, has forged the renowned name Shao Zifeng His Grace."

Sigvald’s eyes revealed a shock, realizing that the fire dragon, a creature of high noble dragon lineage, was merely his Dragon Rider. Such an honor could only belong to a truly formidable person.

Wait a minute...

His Grace!

A tide of emotions surged within Sigvald.

As one who inherited the title of Kanteli the Third, it knew all too well what the term "His Grace" signified.

It denoted an existence as mighty as its grandfather, who had bestowed glory upon the name Cantley with his strength.

With this thought, Sigvald humbly lowered his prideful head, "Respected Shao Zifeng His Grace, someone with a heart as vast as the ocean will certainly forgive my previous impertinence."
