Chapter 324: Unsatisfied Desires

At this moment, in the romantic little grove, came the sound of low sobbing.

The chubby, adorable Flame Lord was hanging there in tattered clothes, with whip marks clearly visible on his tender body.

The chubby Flame Lord felt that his dignity was already gone.

He screamed and struggled, but still could not escape that cruel hand.

Tears streamed from the Flame Lord's large eyes. He was a territorial overlord, ruling over countless subjects, yet now he had been humiliated by a human. His heart was filled with pain.

He even entertained thoughts of death. How could he ever stand tall before his subjects again...

Looking at the whip marks lingering on his tender body, he felt like crying from sorrow.

Although it was full of shame, there was also a strange sense of pleasure. What if he could never experience this feeling again?

Lin Fan was now leaning against an ancient tree. The taming had been successfully completed, and even for Lin Fan, this taming had brought a certain thrill.

Although the Flame Lord was six hundred years old, whipping his childlike body gave Lin Fan a deep sense of guilt.

Could it be that he was truly a pervert?

Whenever he had this feeling, Lin Fan was startled by his own thoughts.

Then he shook his head and dismissed it. How could he be that kind of person?

If he had a cigarette now, Lin Fan wouldn't mind lighting one, leaning against the tree, taking a deep breath to calm his mind.

In Lin Fan's view, ferocious beasts truly had formidable willpower.

Even the Qiongqi he had subdued was not half as tough as this Flame Lord.

He had used every trick in the book, employing the Ultimate Mystery six times, before finally taming the Flame Lord.

Just then, Lin Fan sensed two auras.

“Demon, taste my sword!”

Lin Fan looked over and saw two figures approaching from afar, a man and a woman, both at the Divine Entry high-level, considered experts in their own right.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, and they seemed well-matched. But the way they looked at him was far from friendly.

Lin Fan paid them no mind, letting them approach, then flew off into the distance.

The Flame Lord had been successfully tamed, and Lin Fan had given him some instructions to follow upon his return.

Although the Flame Lord had condensed sixteen rule chains, he was clearly no match for the mysterious black-robed figure.

Still, it was good to have a backup plan for the future.

“Hmph, demon, you're lucky you left quickly, or we would have made you bleed here.” The handsome man, with flowing long hair, held a sword that shone brightly.

“What a poor child, almost fell victim to that demon.” The young woman following behind, seeing the Flame Lord hanging from the tree, spoke with great sympathy.

“Senior Brother Mu, quickly put the child down.” The girl said with concern.

“Alright, Junior Sister.” Senior Brother Mu swung his sword, cutting the rope, and caught the Flame Lord.

“Senior Brother, look, he has so many wounds. He must have suffered inhuman abuse just now. Luckily we arrived in time.” The girl felt great pity seeing the wounds on the Flame Lord.

Although she and Senior Brother Mu were not from the same sect, they had grown up together. They had set out together to perform chivalrous deeds, and on their way back to the sect, they heard cries and rushed over.

When they saw the scene, they were both furious. That demon didn't even spare such a small child.

“Eh, Senior Brother, look at his back. Why does he have four pairs of wings?” The girl asked in confusion.

“Yes, what's going on? I've never heard of such a thing.” They exchanged glances, equally puzzled. They had never seen anything like this.

If the sect records didn't state that ferocious beasts cannot take human form, they would have thought the chubby child was a beast.

“Senior Brother Mu, I think he must have suffered heartbreaking torture, or maybe that demon drugged him, causing this. He's so pitiful. Why don't we take him in and take care of him together?” The girl's kind heart overflowed.

Hearing this, Senior Brother Mu's body trembled, and a look of joy appeared on his handsome, composed face.

Adopting this kid and taking care of him together—that would mean...

Senior Brother Mu dared not imagine further. Without a second thought, he nodded in agreement. He had been wondering how to get closer to his junior sister, and now this was a perfect opportunity, wasn't it?

“Little one, big sister will protect you. Tell me, what's your name?” The girl looked at the Flame Lord with a gentle expression.

But when she saw the Flame Lord, she suddenly screamed.

The Flame Lord was furious. Flames danced in his round, large eyes. He had been hoping for Big Brother to whip him again, but these two had ruined his good thing.

Now he had only one thought: to devour these two humans.

“Junior Sister, what's wrong?” Senior Brother Mu was still immersed in his beautiful future, and was puzzled by her scream.

“Senior Brother, his... his eyes.” The girl pointed at the Flame Lord in fear.

“Eyes? What eyes?” Senior Brother Mu was confused, but when he looked into the Flame Lord's eyes, he was utterly terrified.

“You two hateful humans, you ruined my good thing! I'm going to devour you!” The chubby, adorable Flame Lord's face turned icy. With a roar, his body swelled, his cute appearance vanishing, replaced by the ferocious, terrifying true form of the Flame Lord.

“Roar...”

The Flame Lord bellowed, his sharp teeth glinting coldly, descending upon the two like a demon from hell.

The two were completely stunned by the towering giant before them. Although the girl was skilled, under the Flame Lord's domineering aura, she was utterly terrified and began to cry.

...

“That's enough, kid. Don't hurt these two. Get back now.”

A voice came from the void in the distance.

Hearing this, the Flame Lord deflated. His fierce, flame-dancing eyes glanced at the two, then with a roar, he leaped up and disappeared into a chasm in the ground, vanishing completely from East Spirit Continent.

The girl was still in shock, while Senior Brother Mu managed to stay somewhat calm. He breathed a sigh of relief when the terrifying creature left.

“Junior Sister...” Senior Brother Mu tried to comfort her, but to his surprise, she threw herself into his arms, leaving him dumbfounded.

“Senior Brother, I don't want kids anymore. Kids are too scary.”

...

Lin Fan, who had been traveling all along, shook his head helplessly. He had been monitoring the situation. Although the Flame Lord was tamed by him, he was still terrifying to others.

But thinking about the situation of those two, Lin Fan smiled. He hadn't expected the Flame Lord to help bring about a happy event.

Perhaps that Senior Brother Mu was still thanking the Flame Lord right now.
