Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 189

189 Coming To The Banquet In Person
Shen Fei indifferently glanced at him and coldly laughed, “Idiot!”

As he spoke, Shen Fei suddenly let go of Xia’er’s right ankle, causing the latter to lose his balance and stumble a few steps back.

“Ack!” Xia’er screamed and fell to the ground.

Shen Fei shook his head disdainfully, then walked back to his seat and sat down. Xia’er’s face was extremely dark, and his eyes were full of murderous rage.

“Shen Fei, just you wait! One day, I’ll make you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! And you’re to blame for what happened to my parents, so don’t say I’m in the wrong for being cruel! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being an F-Class trash, destined to be a sacrificial lamb!” Xia’er cursed through gritted teeth.

!!
He believed that, compared to Shen Fei, he was the one with the more noble bloodline and more outstanding cultivation talent. He would definitely become a powerhouse Beastmaster in the future. Therefore, he had never regarded Shen Fei as anything more, and even picked on Shen Fei every chance he got.

Therefore, the skirmish earlier was not a real battle, but just a probing confrontation.

“Shen Fei, you’ve been doing quite well recently!”

Suddenly, a handsome young man slowly walked over. This person was Li Yuan. And naturally, he did not like Shen Fei, nor did he want to be inferior to him.

“You’re the only good-for-nothing in this place. If I were you, I would have broken off the engagement with the goddess,” Li Yuan sneered at Shen Fei. His eyes were filled with intense jealousy.

He had pursued her many times, but was rejected. Although he loved her, he knew that Sloy was a proud, beautiful, cold, and noble goddess.

‘Trash like Shen Fei can’t even get close to her, so how could he pursue her in the first place?’

“I’m not interested,” Shen Fei coldly said.

Li Yuan flew into a rage, his face twisted as he roared, “If you dare to say one more word to me, I’ll kill you right now!”

“I’m not interested,” said Shen Fei with a frown, too lazy to bother with Li Yuan.

“Shen Fei, I advise you to get lost. Otherwise, expect trouble!” Li Yuan threatened.

Shen Fei’s brows twitched as he coldly asked, “Do you think you have the right to threaten me?”

Li Yuan sneered and said in disdain, “Heh, Shen Fei, aren’t you too arrogant? What makes you think I don’t have that right? Who do you think you are?”

“Since you wish to know, then I’ll tell you. I’m an existence that you can never surpass.” Shen Fei’s tone was extremely cold, like ice from the ninth level of the netherworld.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud.

“Hahaha! Shen Fei, I admit that you’re quite outstanding among your peers. However, that’s only limited to your peers. Do you think you’re that awesome? You don’t know what a strong person is, much less what a Beastmaster is!”

After he finished speaking, Li Yuan’s face revealed a hint of ridicule. “Heh… Shen Fei, do you really think that you can surpass me so quickly just because your strength has increased? You’re wrong! You’ll never surpass me in this lifetime. I’ll show you what a true Beastmaster is!”

At this moment, Aloy saw that Li Yuan was not giving Shen Fei any face, and quickly stood up to help. “That’s enough, Li Yuan. My father is hosting the Beastmaster banquet tonight!”

“Aloy, I’m doing this for your own good. I can’t watch you make the same mistake again and again. If this continues, you’ll only be paying the price,” said Li Yuan self-righteously, acting as though he was being a gentleman.

“Shut up! I don’t need your concern over my own affairs,” yelled Aloy as her face became slightly flushed from anger, and she left quickly.

“Shen Fei, I don’t care how strong you are, but before a Beastmaster, you’re just an ant, a lowly worm!”

Li Yuan looked triumphantly at Shen Fei and immediately followed Xia’er with large strides.

Looking at the direction they disappeared in, Shen Fei sighed. “Sigh, trouble is trouble after all… I hope they understand what kind of existence they have provoked.”

“Shen Fei, don’t take Li Yuan’s words to heart,” Aloy consoled him. Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded.

At this moment, a deep man’s voice was heard.

“Welcome to tonight’s Beastmaster banquet, everyone. I’m very grateful to you for attending.

The mayor, Edward, had appeared. He was wearing a black tuxedo and a gold-rimmed top hat, and his every movement exuded a noble aura.

“Welcome to my banquet.” Edward said with a smile. His voice was deep and magnetic; it was pleasing to the ear.

Clap, clap, clap!

The crowd immediately started applauding him. Edward’s appearance caused a huge commotion as everyone became excited and cheered. The atmosphere had suddenly become lively.

Edward waved his hand slightly, signaling for everyone to be quiet. The crowd quieted down and looked at him expectantly.

“I hereby announce that the banquet has officially begun!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious musical instrument was played. The tone was slow and gentle, as if it had magic that attracted everyone’s attention, making them unable to help but be immersed in it.

“Such a nice piece! Such soothing notes,” some girls could not help but praise.

Edward smiled and clapped twice. Immediately, four maids dressed in cheongsams came out of the kitchen, each of them holding a silver tray. On the trays, there were all kinds of rare wild game, and the fragrance of meat filled the air.

Edward waved his hand and laughed, full of pride. “Today, let’s eat and have fun, we won’t stop until we’re drunk!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately picked up their knives and forks and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal. Rather than a banquet, it was more like a feast. Everyone was enjoying the food to their heart’s content.

“Shen Fei, do the dishes here not suit your tastes?” Aloy asked, puzzled.

“They are to my liking.” Shen Fei smiled.

“I’ll help you,” said Aloy with a sweet smile.

Shen Fei shook his head and smiled politely. “Although these dishes are exquisite and delicious, I’m not too hungry yet.”

Aloy was stunned for a moment upon hearing his distant words. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of sadness. She silently lowered her head and no longer disturbed Shen Fei.

Aloy was very smart. She knew that she should not disturb Shen Fei in such a situation. Moreover, she felt very guilty. After all, this was her treat. In the end, Shen Fei had not even taken more than a few bites while she had eaten with relish. This kind of behavior was too inconsiderate of her.

Aloy secretly swore to herself that she would definitely take better care of Shen Fei from now on.

With this in mind, Aloy felt a little more at ease. However, when Shen Fei raised his head, the sadness on Aloy’s face could not be hidden.

Shen Fei frowned slightly as an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

Time passed before the mayor spoke again.

“Alright, since everyone is full, let’s start the exercise.” As soon as he finished speaking, Mayor Edward gestured to the maids. “Take out the spirit beasts and show them to everyone.”

The maidservants nodded respectfully and led the spirit beasts out.
