Chapter 20 Falconry
"Is Miss referring to him?"
Steward Liao's gaze fell upon Zhang Xuan, his face showing displeasure, "Boy, no matter what your purpose is, daring to deceive even the City Lord Residence shows quite the boldness indeed. Guards, seize this fellow for me..."
"Hold on!"
Yu Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward as Steward Liao didn't hesitate to move against Zhang Xuan, "Steward Liao, what are you doing? Are you going to lay hands on my friend?"
Steward Liao cupped his fists, "I am only concerned that the young miss may be deceived..."
"I invited Zhang Xuan here!"
Yu Xiaoyu pouted her lips, "Are you suggesting that I've been duped by him?"
Steward Liao shook his head, "I have never heard of any Beast Taming Talent, so naturally I am worried. Miss should know, there are many swindlers out there..."
"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. A few days ago, Zhang Xuan effortlessly subdued Xue'er's Suxiang Horse..."
Yu Xiaoyu huffed.
Only then did Steward Liao understand and responded with disdain, "How can the Suxiang compare to a true Primordial Beast like the Cangbai Eagle? It's just a horse. With some feeding over time, they can all submit willingly!"
Horses are one of the easiest animals to tame, hence, everyone rides them. They don't even count as Primordial Beasts.
If taming such a creature is proof of Beast Taming skills, isn't that just being duped?
"Really? The Suxiang is different. Xue'er said it's hard to tame, she couldn't do it..." With no confidence left, Yu Xiaoyu started to doubt herself, hearing the other's assertive claim.
"Steward Liao is right! Horses are indeed easier to tame..."
City Lord Yu Longqing, who had been locked in a staring contest with the Cangbai Eagle, suddenly spoke up.
Hearing her father say so, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Yu Xiaoyu's face, "Then... I especially asked him to come, hoping to help daddy tame this fellow..."
"Hahaha, my daughter has grown up and can share her father's worries. However, don't worry, I'm about to tame the Cangbai Eagle. If all goes well, I should have results before tomorrow," City Lord Yu Longqing said, excitement evident in his bloodshot eyes.
"Before tomorrow?"
Recalling her desire to use her father's silent chamber, Yu Xiaoyu's eyes shifted, "Dad, I think tomorrow is still too late, why don't we... let Zhang Xuan have a try? After all, I have already invited him over; wouldn't it be better if he succeeds?"
"Miss, it's not that I don't want you to try!"
Steward Liao said, "Beast Taming is not a trivial matter; once you start, you must persevere. You cannot switch people midway. This is also known as 'Beast Perseverance'! You can only completely subdue them once their spirit collapses. The city lord has been persevering for more than half a month, and the Cangbai Eagle is about to give in.
If we change people now, I'm afraid that all the previous efforts will be in vain..."
"Is that so..."
"Nothing much... I just wanted to let you know what the unpredictable beast taming techniques are all about, so you stop spouting nonsense and swindling others!"
Steward Liao waved his hand.
"Oh?"
Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched.
You, with your panda eyes, if you were thrown into the Master Teacher Continent, you wouldn't even qualify to train dogs... and you still have the nerve to call it unpredictable!
Thinking he was thoroughly in awe, Steward Liao sneered as he looked at Yu Longqing, bowing with clasped hands, "City Lord, the Cangbai Eagle has almost reached its limit. It's time to use that move!"
"Oh? It's finally time?"
Showing a delighted expression, Yu Longqing stared intently at the Cangbai Eagle in front of him, his eyes bulging, and he took a deep breath of Yuan Power into his abdomen before suddenly shouting, "Submit willingly now!"
The city lord's strength was extremely formidable, not the slightest bit weaker than Dean Lu Mingrong. With his sudden outburst, the room was immediately filled with surging waves of energy, like muffled thunder.
Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.
Truly a master from the Source World. Just this roar alone, and his entire new world probably wouldn't withstand it, crumbling directly; the so-called Nine Heavens would shatter into powder on the spot.
"Squawk!"
Assaulted by the sonic waves, the already tottering Cangbai Eagle shook once more and then let out an angry screech, glaring at the city lord with eyes full of rage and humiliation.
"It's about to submit..."
Seeing the eagle's expression, Steward Liao was full of excitement, clenching his fists.
Yu Longqing's face also turned red with excitement.
After waiting for over half a month, they were finally at this moment...
"Squawk!"
Just as the two of them were filled with anticipation, the enraged Cangbai Eagle screamed again and suddenly turned around, ramming into a nearby iron pillar.
Bang!
Its head smashed against the pillar, blood flowing freely, and then, with a "bang!" it fell from the stand, its legs convulsively twitching.
"..."
Yu Longqing's vision darkened.
Steward Liao's hands, initially ready to celebrate, slowly lowered as his face became flushed with redness.
Feeling shame with nowhere to hide, and unsure about what to do, they heard Zhang Xuan's puzzled voice nearby, "Is this the so-called unpredictable method of taming you spoke of?"
