Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1356: Still So Shameless at a Time Like This

Even though the Angry Dragon Beast boasted formidable offensive capabilities, its defensive strength paled in comparison to the Fierce Stone Demon. However, as a descendant of the legendary Divine Dragon, its defenses were still significantly superior to those of common exotic beasts. Yet, before the young girl and her peculiar beast companion, its movements turned sluggish, its assaults proved entirely ineffective, and even its robust defense seemed utterly futile.

Witnessing the gushing blood and hearing the creature's mournful, helpless cries sent shivers down Yan Zishu and the others' spines.

Such violence, such brutality, such cruelty!

It wasn't Mu Hanyan who was the focus of this, but rather the small exotic beast accompanying her. While Lady Mu maintained a semblance of elegance even as she delivered kicks and punches, the exotic beast, resembling a tiny feline, lost all pretense of dignity. It thrashed and clawed, bit and tore, practically branding the word 'lawless' onto its very being.

But this wasn't the most terrifying aspect. The most chilling moment arrived when the beast, noticing the Angry Dragon Beast helplessly shielding itself, rolled its eyes, scurried behind its opponent, and then extended a tiny paw...

"Wooo..." The Angry Dragon Beast emitted an ear-splitting shriek.

Yan Zishu and the others instinctively squeezed their legs together, cold sweat breaking out profusely.

Not only is it violent, not only is it cruel, this little creature is utterly degenerate and obscene to the highest degree.

"Hehe, where did this fellow learn that trick? So shameless," Zirong managed a pained smile, despite the effects of the poison.

Huayue and the others exchanged significant glances; he was still poisoned, and it was best not to provoke him further. Even at a time like this, he remained so utterly shameless.

"Do you submit or not, do you submit or not?" Seizing the moment of the Angry Dragon Beast's anguished roars, Taowu once again darted forward, raking its tiny claws across its face incessantly.

If you refuse to submit, we'll beat you until you do. This unwavering tenet had always been the guiding principle of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, and it served as their infallible method for commanding legions of exotic beasts.

"Wooo..." The Angry Dragon Beast cried out again, as twin halos descended from the heavens, one enveloping the beast and the other encompassing Yan Zishu, who remained in a daze.

Heaven and Earth Contract, activated!

"Alright, we've succeeded!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed, clapping her hands with evident relief.

The simple reason she had the courage to undertake the task of taming the Angry Dragon Beast for Yan Zishu was this:

Ever since Little Qiongqi had effortlessly subdued the Fierce Stone Demon, she had understood that the Divine Beast Contract was not merely an agreement between divine beasts but also an accord between Heaven and Earth and exotic beasts. Even if the Spiritual Mark within the Fierce Stone Demon's bloodline was eradicated, the Heaven and Earth Contract would still hold true; under Heaven and Earth Rules, it could still be enforced if the original owner was encountered.

Consequently, Mu Hanyan meticulously researched the hierarchical relationships among the Four Great Fierce Beasts and other divine beasts. She discovered that the Angry Dragon Beast had initially been bound by a Master-Servant Contract to Taowu, destined to be under its command for eternity.

Furthermore, considering the Angry Dragon Beast had been in Yan Zishu's custody for over thirty years without its Spiritual Mark being purged by that mysterious exotic beast dwelling deep within Longyan Mountain—which Mu Hanyan surmised was likely a Netherworld Beast—even if it had been wiped clean, the Heaven and Earth Contract would have enabled Mu Hanyan to tame it with relative ease.

The outcome proved even simpler than Mu Hanyan had anticipated. The Angry Dragon Beast's Spiritual Mark was, in fact, intact. Without even needing the Heaven and Earth Rules to be invoked, it was completely suppressed by Taowu's innate divine beast authority. This left its offense ineffective and its defense futile, rendering it powerless against the combined assault of Mu Hanyan and Taowu.

"How, how did you achieve this?" Yan Zishu stammered for what felt like the hundredth time, the constant stream of surprises Mu Hanyan presented him with was simply overwhelming.

Over the years, in his pursuit of taming the Angry Dragon Beast into a Sword Pet, he had delved into countless beast-taming manuals and memorized numerous incantations. These extensively detailed the benevolence of Heaven and Earth and the virtues of the heavens, purportedly guiding beast tamers to enlighten exotic beasts for their dominion. To demonstrate his benevolent intentions, he had lavished the Angry Dragon Beast with the finest sustenance, drink, and premium elixirs without the slightest frugality, treating it with almost reverential care. Yet, his efforts to tame it had consistently met with failure.

Who could have imagined that Mu Hanyan, without any apparent scruples, would simply batter it, succeeding in taming it effortlessly with a beast-taming technique Yan Zishu had neither encountered nor even heard of, completely shattering his established understanding of beast-taming arts.

"My Beast Taming Technique is somewhat unique." Mu Hanyan stated evasively.

In truth, only she possessed the ability to utilize this specific Beast Taming Technique. For anyone else, attempting it would mean courting death or bringing about the demise of the Exotic Beast.

The core reason for this is found in the inherent dignity of Exotic Beasts; the more potent their strength, the greater their pride. Faced with such an affront, most Exotic Beasts would opt for a fight to the death rather than submit. Yet, paradoxically, the beast world operates under the principle of the strong reigning supreme. In the presence of the overwhelming might of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, their pride dissolves, and under that Divine Beast aura, the notion of mutual destruction doesn't even surface.

"Oh, I see. That explains it." Although Yan Zishu remained somewhat perplexed, he understood that every sect harbored its secrets, and prying into another's was considered taboo. Thus, he refrained from probing further.

"By the way, what is this young lady's surname?" Yan Zishu inquired, cupping his hands. He no longer dared to treat Mu Hanyan with anything less than peer-level courtesy, having recognized her capabilities.

"Formally, I am Mu Hanyan. These are my companions: Huayue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, and Ling Baobao." Noticing his altered demeanor, Mu Hanyan replied with a friendly tone.

"So, you are Mu Hanyan!" Yan Zishu and his companions expressed significant surprise.

While they had been residing at the Yan Family estate and had not attended the Sword Sound Academy competition, they had certainly heard of Mu Hanyan's growing reputation.

It was astonishing to realize that, in addition to her formidable cultivation, she also demonstrated exceptional prowess in alchemy, sword forging, and beast taming. Recalling their previous underestimation of her, and even considering her as a potential disciple of Doctor Sun, an overwhelming sense of shame washed over them.

"Senior Yan, I have fulfilled the three requested tasks. May my friend now receive treatment?" Mu Hanyan casually waved her hand, returning Taowu to the Beast Soul Hall, and then addressed Yan Zishu.

Several more hours had elapsed. Although Mu Hanyan had managed to seal several meridians leading to Zirong's Heart Meridian, the temporary measure was visibly failing as the dark aura encircling his face grew more pronounced.

"Please follow me inside." This time, Yan Zishu offered no further words, leading the group towards a Quiet Room located further within.

The guards' injuries, while severe, were not debilitating illnesses. The Yan Family possessed numerous expert healers, making it unnecessary for him to personally attend to them.

Above the entrance to the Quiet Room, large, unrefined characters proclaimed, "Danling Hall." The weathered stone walls bore testament to potentially thousands of years of exposure to the elements, hinting at its ancient origins.
