Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 240

240 Two Women In One Drama

“Thank you for saving my life.” Ye Fei’s pretty face had a touch of shyness.

“It’s no trouble at all.” Shen Fei closed her palm, returning the five spirit stones to her. Then, he looked at Ye Fei and said, “My name is Shen Fei.”

“You can call me Ye Fei,” Ye Fei said with a sweet smile, revealing her white teeth.

Although Shen Fei rejected her spirit stones, Ye Fei still did not give up and prepared to continue the conversation. A youth like Shen Fei was not a common sight for her. Therefore, after learning Shen Fei’s surname, Ye Fei developed a strong interest in him.

!!
“May I know why you’re here?” Ye Fei asked curiously.

“I’m just here to complete a mission,” Shen Fei said simply.

“Oh?” Ye Fei’s beautiful eyes brightened, and she said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you come with me, big brother?”

“Do you also need beast taming experience?” Shen Fei looked at Ye Fei in confusion. He was a little surprised.

Ye Fei shook her head with a bitter smile and said, “Of course, I need experience. But during this period of time, I’ve discovered that my strength is really too low. My only spirit beast is the Devil Bats swarm, and you defeated them…”

As she spoke, Ye Fei’s pretty face showed a depressed look. She had indeed encountered something terrible, and she would not be able to use her Devil Bats to fly back. In such a situation, unless she found someone to cooperate with, it would be difficult for her to reach her destination alive.

“I’m sorry, I still have something to do.” Shen Fei declined.

“Huh?” Ye Fei was stunned. She did not expect Shen Fei to reject her so decisively. She looked a little disappointed. Ye Fei had thought that Shen Fei would at least be willing to travel with her for a period of time. After all, having such a powerhouse in her team would be of great help to her.

“Brother Shen, are you really not going to consider leaving with me?” Ye Fei looked at Shen Fei with anticipation. Shen Fei nodded. Seeing this, Ye Fei’s pretty face flashed with a touch of sadness. “But I’m really scared to be here alone.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei was annoyed. If she was really afraid, would she have come to Mount Xiaoyao alone?

“Fine, then.” Shen Fei could only open his mouth and agree.

Seeing Shen Fei agree, Ye Fei smiled and said, “In that case, Big Brother Shen shouldn’t reject me. We’re travelling together, so if there’s any danger, we should take care of each other…” Ye Fei kept on talking, and Shen Fei simply could not get a word in.

Eventually, she became quiet. Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief, and finally felt a lot more at ease.

He turned to look at Ye Fei and suddenly asked, “By the way, why did you come to Mount Xiaoyao alone?”

Ye Fei pouted and said, “I was cultivating nearby, but I suddenly received news that there was a secret realm here that was about to close. In order to preserve my strength, I left by myself.”

“I see.” Shen Fei nodded. “And the secret realm is about to close?”

“Yes, in three days at most, the secret realm will be completely sealed,” Ye Fei said.

“Three days…” Shen Fei muttered.

He had wanted to wait three days before entering the secret realm, but he did not expect to run into Ye Fei today. Perhaps, this was fate.

At this moment, Zhang Yuxin looked at Ye Fei with a disgusted expression. This woman was quite beautiful, but she was too casual. She and Shen Fei met by chance, and she did not even know his name. On what basis did she invite Shen Fei to travel with her?

Zhang Yuxin suddenly shouted, “Hey! I say, what’s wrong with you, woman?”

“What’s wrong?” Ye Fei frowned and looked at Zhang Yuxin unhappily.

Zhang Yuxin coldly snorted and said, “Hmph, is there something wrong with your brain?”

Ye Fei was a little angry and said, “I’m having a good time chatting with this big brother, why are you interrupting? Do you think I won’t tear your mouth apart if you keep talking nonsense?”

Ye Fei had a bad temper, and Zhang Yuxin’s words infuriated her.

“You…!” Zhang Yuxin raised her eyebrows. She looked at Ye Fei angrily, wishing she could immediately go up to her and give her a few tight slaps.

‘This little girl actually dares to speak to me like this?! She really should be taught a lesson!’

“Enough!” At this moment, Shen Fei opened his mouth and said, “Miss Ye, I don’t think my student has any ill intentions.”

“Hah!” Ye Fei laughed contemptuously and glanced at Zhang Yuxin, saying, “I don’t think she has any good intentions. She’s obviously jealous of us.”

“Hehe, I’m jealous of you? Are you even worthy of that? Don’t think that everyone is the same as you,” Zhang Yuxin said sarcastically.

Ye Fei was furious. “You—”

“Alright, alright!” Shen Fei waved his hand, indicating for the two to stop quarreling. When Ye Fei heard Shen Fei speak, she glared at Zhang Yuxin and huffed before reluctantly sitting down.

Seeing that the two of them had stopped bickering, Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You two will settle your grudges later.”

After that, he walked straight into the shade of a tree in the distance and sat down cross-legged. He had to try his best to recover from his injuries to avoid any mishaps.

Seeing Shen Fei like this, Zhang Yuxin bit her lips in anger and went to sit beside Shen Fei. “Teacher Shen, are we really going to bring her along?” Zhang Yuxin asked Shen Fei with a face full of unwillingness. She had heard Ye Fei address Shen Fei as “big brother”, and this made her feel very unhappy.

Shen Fei ignored Zhang Yuxin and closed his eyes. Seeing Shen Fei’s indifference, Zhang Yuxin became even more depressed. She pouted, and her face was full of grievances.

Not long after, Shen Fei opened his eyes and stood up. He looked at Zhang Yuxin and said, “If you’re tired, you should rest first.”

Zhang Yuxin hurriedly said, “No need, I’ll just follow you.”

Shen Fei nodded and did not say anything else.

…

Time passed by, and suddenly, a day had passed. As night fell, the entire forest was shrouded in mystery, and a cold wind blew past.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a deafening roar reverberated through the valley. It was hair-raising.

“What’s going on?”

Hearing this roar, Ye Fei and Zhang Yuxin were so startled that their bodies trembled. They said in a panic, “Was it a spirit beast?”

Shen Fei raised his head and discovered that in the crown of a giant tree, there was a black shadow moving. After carefully observing for a while, Shen Fei finally recognized that it was a skeleton!

“It’s crawling toward us,” Shen Fei said.

“What?!” Zhang Yuxin was so scared that her face paled.

“Run, don’t stop, run!” Shen Fei shouted.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin quickly ran into the depths of the forest. In a short while, Shen Fei caught up with her. He grabbed onto Zhang Yuxin’s wrist, and with a light tap of his feet, he quickly passed through the dense forest and escaped into the distance.

“Roar!” The skeleton seemed to be furious and followed closely behind.

Shen Fei did not care and continued to run at full speed, with the skeleton in hot pursuit.

The speed of the two reached a terrifying level, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of three hundred meters and were speeding out of the dense forest.
