Chapter 205 Scheming Old Fox

As the one with the most outstanding performance, Yu Huang received the honor of being the first to choose a prize. Yu Huang walked up to the platform and without any hesitation, took the root of the red elm fruit.

The mermen were not of the human race. Their cultivation and talents were generally stronger than the human race. The tribulation lightning they had to endure was also stronger. Hence, Na Luo chose Lin Jiansheng’s Lightning Trap Pill.

Liuli Feng had taken away Madam Sheng’s Spirit Gathering Ribbon and Yin Fu had obtained the Huan Yan Elixir. Mo Qingfeng, Sheng Hui, and Garo Lingyue each picked out a Witch-level cultivation technique.

Everyone was quite happy to receive the reward they were satisfied with.

Yin Mingchong’s gaze swept past these youths before finally descending onto Yu Huang.

A kind smile appeared on Yin Mingchong’s face as he said to Yu Huang, “Little girl, we meet again. Last time, you successfully obtained the cultivation technique ‘Blazing Moon Art’ created by the Prime Master. Today, you’ve also obtained the root of the Yin Clan’s sacred treasure, the red elm tree. In that case, it seems like Miss Yu Huang has a deep relationship with the Yin Clan.”

When facing Yin Mingchong, Yu Huang had to carefully consider every single word before she dared to speak. Yu Huang immediately bowed respectfully and replied, “Grand Master Yin, I’m just lucky.”

“One time can be due to luck, but can two times be due to luck?” Yin Mingchong chuckled as he stared at Yu Huang’s brown eyes and asked. “How old are you this year?”

Yu Huang pondered for a moment before saying, “Almost 20.”

“Which month?”

Yu Huang said again, “July.” Yu Huang’s birthday was falsely reported by Yu Donghai. It was pushed back by a month based on her real month.

“July…” Yin Mingchong chuckled and said, “I originally had a niece called Yin Huang, and her name is very similar to yours. She was born in June, so if she’s still alive, then she should be around your age.”

When she heard Yin Mingchong mention his niece, Yu Huang’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, and she said calmly, “With the Prime Master’s boundless virtue, his daughter would surely turn misfortune into fortune. I think that she’s definitely still alive somewhere in this world. I hope that Grand Master Yin will be able to find that child as soon as possible, and I hope that the Prime Master will be able to rest in peace.”

As he spoke, Yin Ming Chong’s gaze was fixed on Yu Huang’s eyes.

But Yu Huang remained calm and collected, without the slightest sign of abnormality.

Yin Mingchong couldn’t help but think in his heart, ‘Could it be that I’m really thinking too much? This little girl called Yu Huang isn’t my little niece. I’m too paranoid?’

However, in this world, other than Yin Mingjue, who else could give birth to a eccentric child like Yu Huang?

She had a super beast form of S-rank potential, and was the only dual cultivator on the continent. Who were her parents?

Yin Mingchong glanced at the Companion Beast in the cage, and his gaze flickered slightly before he said to Yu Huang, “Child, since you’ve won, then this Companion Beast belongs to you.”

In the cage, the Companion Beast whimpered in pain as it stared at Yu Huang. Its two round eyes were filled with attachment to Yu Huang.

However, Yu Huang did not dare to approach the Companion Beast.

The Companion Beast had signed a contract with her before, so it definitely recognized her. If she approached the Companion Beast, the Companion Beast would definitely show an expression of attachment to her. At that time, Yin Mingchong would definitely become suspicious.

Yu Huang felt that it was troublesome, and she stood on the spot without making a move for a long time.

Su Tingxue sensed Yu Huang’s dilemma and said, “I’ll do it.”

Yu Huang hurriedly asked humbly, “Senior Su, do you have any ideas?” Su Tingxue said, “If you trust me, you can let me borrow your body. I’ll help you get close to that Companion Beast.”

Yu Huang went silent when she heard this.

It was impossible to let Su Tingxue borrow her body.

Su Tingxue’s body had been buried in the Black Dome for six hundred years. Her remnant soul was still undying and never gave up the thought of reviving.

Su Tingxue was obsessed with reviving. Who could guarantee that she wouldn’t possess her? Yu Huang immediately rejected this suggestion. “Senior Su, I’m not stupid enough to give you a chance to possess me.”

Su Tingxue was speechless.

There was no need to be so honest.

Su Tingxue humphed and said, “Then let me possess your right hand and touch that dog with my right hand.” Yu Huang sneered. “If there’s such a method, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Su Tingxue was speechless.

Yu Huang warned Su Tingxue. “Don’t even think about possessing me. If you dare to do so, I’ll capture you and attach you to the wooden doll. I’ll throw you into the storage device and place you with the trash. You’ll never see the light of day again.”

Su Tingxue was shocked. “How dare you! Have you forgotten that you promised to revive me? You swore with your soul! If you go back on your word, you’ll explode and die!”

Yu Huang calmly pointed out, “I will revive you according to the agreement, but I never said that I would keep you in my soul sea.”

Su Tingxue was speechless.

After a while, Su Tingxue said in a muffled voice, “… Got it.”

When Yin Mingchong saw that Yu Huang hadn’t spoken a single word, he put on an attitude of concern and asked in a gentle voice. “What’s wrong, little girl?”

Yu Huang lied without batting an eye. “Grand Master Yin, this Companion Beast has already acknowledged its master. Will it bite me if I approach it?”

Yin Mingchong shook his head and said, “No, its canine teeth have been removed long ago.”

When she heard this, Yu Huang felt as if her heart was pricked by a needle.

How could it eat and drink without the canine teeth?

“I understand.” Yu Huang walked towards the dog.

The Companion Beast stared at Yu Huang, as if recalling the time it spent with its little master many years ago. Tears flickered in its eyes, and it began to whimper.

Yu Huang bent down and squatted in front of the metal cage. When she saw the tears in the Companion Beast’s eyes, she was moved by its excitement and almost cried.

However, Yin Mingchong was watching her every move, so she absolutely couldn’t give herself away.

Yu Huang said to Su Tingxue, “Senior Su, please.”

Su Tingxue responded lazily as her remnant soul flew out of the Spiritual Abode and attached itself to Yu Huang’s right hand.

Under Yin Mingchong’s gaze, Yu Huang stretched out her hand towards the iron cage.

The Companion Beast sensed an unfamiliar aura, and it became restless. The originally listless Companion Beast in the cage was like a lion that had its territory violated. It suddenly stood up, opened its mouth, and roared at Yu Huang

“Roar!”

Roar! Roar!

The Companion Beast opened its mouth and legs. Only then did Yu Huang realize that not a single one of the Companion Beast’s canine teeth was left. Her heart immediately ached.

On the high platform, when Yin Mingchong saw the reaction of the Companion Beast, he dispelled his suspicions towards Yu Huang’s identity once more. This child was not Yin Huang.

The Companion Beast had acknowledged Yin Huang as its master. In this world, there was no one or spirit beast who was more familiar with Yin Huang’s aura than the Companion Beast. However, the fact that the Companion Beast was so resistant to Yu Huang’s approach meant that Yu Huang was definitely not Yin Huang

It seemed that he was being overly suspicious.

Lin Jiansheng saw that the Companion Beast had been resisting Yu Huang’s approach. He frowned at Yin Mingchong and asked, “Clan Head Yin, why is this companion dog so irritable?”

Yin Mingchong explained. “The Companion Beast has acknowledged its master as my niece, and it’s very difficult for even us to approach it, let alone your disciple.”

Lin Jiansheng felt that there was something odd about this matter, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Yu Huang was unable to approach the Companion Beast, so she could only stand up and say to Yin Mingchong, “Grand Master Yin, this little thing refuses to allow me to approach it. I’ll bring it back first and slowly cultivate feelings with it!”

Yin Mingchong naturally wouldn’t refuse when he heard this. “Since it’s like that, then bring it back and properly foster your relationship. Yu Huang is the only Companion Beast in the entire Holy Spirit Continent, and it’s extremely precious. I hope you can treat it well and accompany it in its later years.”

Yu Huang nodded and replied, “I will spend the last moments of my life with it.”

“Okay.”

Yin Mingchong reminded her once more. “The Companion Beast’s Spirit Gathering Pill is extremely precious. Yu Huang, you must protect it well and don’t lose it. Once it passes away and transforms into a Spirit Gathering Pill, then refine it as soon as possible.” If it wasn’t for Yu Huang being clearly aware of the disadvantages of the Spirit Gathering Pill, she would really think that Yin Mingchong was thinking of her wholeheartedly after hearing Yin Mingchong’s words.

However, when she realized this person’s true objective, she felt her entire body go cold when he thought about it again. Yin Mingchong didn’t even bat an eyelid when he killed someone. He was truly malicious!

Yu Huang suppressed the hidden emotions in her eyes and replied respectfully, “I will definitely protect it well. Thank you again for giving it to me, Grand Master Yin!”

With that said, Yu Huang reached out, picked up the metal cage, and brought it back to the camp of the Divine Realm Academy.

The competition ended and everyone dispersed. When they left, Na Luo and Sheng Yang returned to the Sheng Clan together. Lin Jiansheng prepared to bring Yu Huang to the Purifying Spirit Academy. He still had to teach Yu Huang how to cultivate the red elm tree’s roots.

A group of people stood at the entrance of the Yin residence and said their goodbyes. When Madam Sheng learned that Yu Huang was leaving with Lin Jiansheng, she felt a little reluctant.

Madam Sheng handed the civet cat to Sheng Yang. She held Yu Huang’s hand and said with a smile, “Child, when Xiao’er comes back from the Central Pagoda, you can come to Yufu City with him when you’re free.”

Sheng Xiao was going to go into the Central Pagoda in September. He would not return to the Divine Realm Academy during this period of time. Yu Huang thought for a while and said, “He and I have agreed to go to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm together. We will go to Yufu City after we leave the Cong Lang Mystic Realm.”

“Sure.”

Seeing that there weren’t many people around, Mrs Sheng lowered her voice and asked, “Child, can you tell me why you can use Xiao’er’s beast form and technique?” “… Well…” Yu Huang didn’t want to reveal the characteristics of her cultivation technique, but she didn’t want to lie to Mrs. Sheng. “I’ll tell you about it later.”

Hearing that, Mrs Sheng didn’t seem displeased at all. “That’s fine. You can say whatever you want next time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t. Alright, see you next time.”

“Okay.”

After watching Madam Sheng and the others board the aircraft, Yu Huang said to Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, I have something to tell

you.”

Lin Jiansheng glanced at her before saying, “Let’s go to the Purifying Spirit Academy.”

Lin Jiansheng didn’t have a car or a flying transport. Yin Cangsheng seemed to know about Lin Jiansheng’s stinginess very well, so he specially arranged a car for them so that it would be convenient for them to travel.

Who would believe that he, as a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master, did not even have a car?
