"Looking at the way you're smiling, it must be something bad. No way!"
The big white duck rejected Avinash straight away.
Avinash was stunned. He could barely stop himself from starting another fight and using the Celestial Reincarnation Eyes. Of course, the main reason for leaving this duck alive was something else. If this fat duck was the heir of the Sky Swallowing Swan clan, then it meant he had been sent here by his family for training. Building a good relationship with him would give Avinash a solid base in the Upper Realm.
"What do you want to talk about?"
The big Da Huang duck asked curiously.
"You just need to become my beast partner for this Supreme Beast Sect assignment."
Avinash replied with an innocent laugh.
"Fuck you! I can make you my human pet and give you a bowl full of piss for free!"
The big duck said as it raised its ass into the air.
Black lines appeared on Avinash's forehead. He now knew it was almost impossible to make this stupid duck his beast partner.
It was going to be a story without an end if Avinash continued arguing with this duck. He stood up and dusted himself off. Estimating the time he had spent in the mountain, he realised it had been nearly two hours. It was time for him to go and stir up trouble for Ye Chen, the so-called Son of Luck.
Although he was confident in dealing with a freeloader Son of Luck like Ye Chen, after entering the sect he would be busy with the Snow Empress matter, and he would also need more resources for cultivation. So, it was better to earn some villain points from Ye Chen now.
"Kid, where are you going?"
Seeing that Avinash wanted to leave, the big fat duck immediately asked.
"Going to find someone."
Avinash stretched his body and started walking away. The big fat duck jumped up from the floor and began following him.
"Stupid bird, why are you following me? You want another fight?"
Avinash asked with a frown.
"I can go wherever I want. Is this Beast Mountain your property? If not, then it's none of your business."
The big fat duck scoffed at him.
Avinash shook his head and stopped paying attention to the duck. He moved toward the area where he had seen Ye Chen go, with the big white duck following closely behind. After all that fighting, the duck still decided to follow him. But Avinash didn't reject it. This fellow was the heir of the Sky Swallowing Swan clan, and it was a good thing to have him around. He would have plenty of opportunities to improve their relationship and eventually make him a friend.
Thinking about this, Avinash couldn't stop himself from suddenly laughing.
"Kid, what are you laughing at? You must be thinking something bad about me! Let me tell you something—don't even think about it! I'm only following you because you have some potential. Maybe one day, you'll be lucky enough to have me as your master!"
The big white duck declared proudly.
"Then you'll just have to wait for that."
Avinash shrugged his shoulders. A human and a duck walked out from the valley, heading toward the area where Ye Chen had gone.
"Stupid duck, why is your skin so thick?"
"Kid, I'm warning you! Stop calling me stupid duck! I have a name—my name is Da Huang, and I am a swan!"
"Ha~ But your name and body are fitting for a duck!"
"Kid, is your butt feeling itchy again?"
"Alright, alright—Da Huang, Da Huang. Still a duck."
"Get lost!"
On the other side, within the thick woods, an intense fight was taking place.
The group of people from the Young Master of Norway City stood side by side. Their faces were full of anger and hatred. Ye Chen stood opposite them. They all carried bright long swords and had tyrannical smiles on their faces.
"This is an assessment! Instead of taming a beast, you guys came here to try and kill me! You're breaking the rules!"
Ye Chen shouted, his expression furious.
"Haha, rules? I don't mind telling you—Young Master Ming of Norway City ordered us to kill you. Today, we'll end your life. Let's see how you escape, you bitch!"
The young man leading the group laughed loudly. In his eyes, Ye Chen was already a dead man.
Ye Chen's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. That Young Master Ming had planned to use this assessment to get him killed, just because Princess Smriti had shown favor toward Ye Chen. That Ming was truly ruthless.
"You dogs, licking the boots of that coward Ming, who's hiding and sending you all to die—fuck you all!" Ye Chen said with an angry sneer.
"We're done for! Looks like we're all going to die here today!"
One of the men said mockingly, clearly taunting Ye Chen.
"Haha, that's right. At least you know it now. In fact, not just you—even that so-called Young Master of yours is going to die today! I'm going to cut all of you into thousands of pieces!"
"Ha! Did you hear that? He says he's going to kill us all!"
The leader smirked coldly. The two young men beside him raised their swords and rushed at Ye Chen.
Swoosh!
Ye Chen moved his hand, forming a hand seal.
"Lightning Thunder Fist!"
With the speed of a leopard, he threw his punch at one of the young men's heads while dodging the incoming sword.
Boom!
The head shattered like a watermelon dropped from a height. The other one died similarly.
"What the heck?! These people are so useless! Why are they going one by one? Can't they all attack together? He's only in the middle stage of Foundation Building; why are they pissing themselves?"
The big white duck couldn't hold back anymore and voiced his disgust to Avinash while hiding.
Both Avinash and Da Huang were hidden and watching the fight. At first, the fat duck thought Avinash was wasting his time, but after seeing Ye Chen fight, his opinion changed. As the heir of a divine beast clan, how could he not recognize the Beast Emperor Physique—natural nemesis of all beasts?
At first, he wanted to kill Ye Chen himself, but after some thought, he realized Avinash probably wanted to kill Ye Chen too, maybe because of that Qilin bloodline. So why should he take the risk when someone else was already willing to do it?
