Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Li Cunxu said, "There's no need to be wary of me. If you don't trust me, I can let you leave."

Jiang Lingyun was skeptical and asked softly, "Really?"

"Really."

Li Cunxu had no intention of forcing Jiang Lingyun to stay. Forcing her would only make her think he had ulterior motives, especially considering her beautiful face.

Jiang Lingyun asked, "No regrets?"

Li Cunxu said, "No regrets."

"You mean what you say?"

"I mean what I say."

Seeing that Jiang Lingyun wanted to say more, Li Cunxu said, "If you don't want to leave, then don't."

"Leave, leave, leave! I'll leave right away."

Jiang Lingyun took two steps, when suddenly a great commotion arose ahead. A two-headed red scorpion and a four-clawed golden scorpion emerged from the desert, and the two began to fight.

The two giant scorpions were enormous, like two moving mountains. The moment they collided, yellow sand flew everywhere, as if the whole world was trembling.

Jiang Lingyun had never seen such terrifying pet beasts before. Her legs felt weak, but when she turned her head and saw Li Cunxu calmly watching the battle, she felt a little more at ease.

"This person is so calm, he must have something to rely on!"

Jiang Lingyun retreated to Li Cunxu's side.

Li Cunxu asked, "Weren't you going to leave?"

"Because of them."

Jiang Lingyun pointed at the two giant scorpions fighting in front.

Li Cunxu said, "You can leave in another direction."

Jiang Lingyun thought about her appearance, gritted her teeth, overcame her fear, and started walking in the opposite direction of the fight.

Jiang Lingyun was well aware of the dangers her true appearance brought.

She left, but after a while, Li Cunxu turned his head in confusion.

"Why are you back again?"

Jiang Lingyun pointed behind her with a trembling finger. Li Cunxu looked in the direction she was pointing.

A mirage appeared in the sky behind them. In the mirage, a group of giant scorpions were fighting: four-eyed purple scorpions, five-tailed green scorpions, two-headed red scorpions, four-clawed golden scorpions…

Each of them was as powerful as the two-headed red scorpion and the four-clawed golden scorpion in front of them.

Jiang Lingyun stammered, "Are all the pet beasts in this world like this?"

Li Cunxu said, "Not all of them. Some are weaker than these, but some are stronger."

"There are even stronger ones?"

"Of course. Lord-level is just the average combat power here."

"They're Lord-level pet beasts? And that's just average combat power?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lingyun was frightened and didn't dare to leave.

Li Cunxu urged, "Hurry up and go."

"I'm not leaving."

Jiang Lingyun shook her head frantically.

Li Cunxu said, "I have ulterior motives towards you."

"That's not true."

"Then… stay. But I'm warning you, you have to listen to my commands throughout. Otherwise, we'll go our separate ways."

"Okay, I'll definitely be obedient."

Jiang Lingyun nodded.

"Little White Spider is much cuter than the Jumping Wolf Spider in your bag."

Li Cunxu didn't understand. Little White Spider was extremely beautiful, as cute as a creature from an anime, while the Jumping Wolf Spider was super ugly. Why was Jiang Lingyun afraid of Little White Spider but not the Jumping Wolf Spider? Did Jiang Lingyun have a fear of cute things?

"Actually, I'm also afraid of the Jumping Wolf Spider, but it was a pet beast my mother gave me."

"I see."

Little White Spider suddenly jumped back onto Li Cunxu's shoulder and said in a very low voice in Li Cunxu's ear.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person has the talent of a Fate-type Beastmaster, and the grade of her talent is not low."

Li Cunxu was shocked.

Jiang Lingyun actually had the talent of a Fate-type Beastmaster.

Fate-type Beastmaster talents are extremely rare. You might not find one in ten million people.

Li Cunxu asked, "Are you a Beastmaster?"

Jiang Lingyun was able to fall from such a high pyramid and not die, which meant her physique was extraordinary. Logically speaking, she should be a Beastmaster.

Of course, a martial artist could also fall and not die, but martial artists are agile and can use their body control to forcibly stop in mid-air when falling. Therefore, Jiang Lingyun couldn't possibly be a martial artist.

But what puzzled Li Cunxu was why she didn't summon a pet beast to catch her and roll when she fell.

Jiang Lingyun said, "Beastmaster? I'm not."

"You're not? Then why didn't you become a Beastmaster?"

"I wanted to, but I don't have a contract slot."

"No contract slot? Do you mean you don't have even one contract slot?"

"Yes."

Li Cunxu thought he was miserable enough, awakening three contract slots, one of which was incomplete. He didn't expect someone to be even more miserable than him, not even having a single contract slot.

Li Cunxu asked again, "You're not a Beastmaster? Why is your physique so strong? You didn't even die after falling from the pyramid."

Jiang Lingyun said, "My physique has been different from others since I was a child, stronger than others."

At this time, the fight between the two-headed red scorpion and the four-clawed golden scorpion was over.

Both were seriously injured and preparing to retreat.

"It's time for us to be the fishermen! Little Soft, Little White Spider, go!"

The two-headed red scorpion was Lord-level three, and the four-clawed golden scorpion was Lord-level four. Their strength wasn't particularly strong, and with their serious injuries, Little Soft and Little White Spider easily killed them.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyun became even more determined to cling to Li Cunxu's coattails.

Little Soft began another round of absorbing the power of the dissipated domain.

Li Cunxu looked at the corpses of the two giant scorpions and fell into thought.

Li Cunxu felt that something was a little off. Why would two giant scorpions of similar strength suddenly fight each other? Both sides knew that they couldn't do anything to the other, so why did they fight so fiercely?

Unable to figure out the reason, he attributed it to coincidence.

After absorbing the domain, Little Soft's level increased to Lord-level three.

Li Cunxu started looking for the entrance to the pyramid again, and in less than ten minutes, he found it.

Exploring the pyramid, the murals on both sides of the passage were clearly visible in the light emitted by Little Soft. The murals depicted the glorious scenes of the ancient Sand People defeating the Poison Scorpion tribe.

Suddenly, a slight tremor passed through, and ghostly blue flames flickered in the air, floating erratically like wandering souls dancing in the darkness.

The ghostly flames formed a circle at the intersection of the passages, flickering and jumping around.

Looking closer, in the center of the ghostly flames, there was a graceful young girl wearing golden and brilliant jewelry, dancing a seductive and enchanting dance. Her dance seemed to have a kind of magic that made people unable to stop and immersed in it.

Li Cunxu said coldly, "Little Soft, Azure Lotus Sword Blade, kill her."

A cyan light flashed past the girl, and she was cut in half at the waist, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Jiang Lingyun felt a sense of fear that resonated with her. The enchanting girl's experience was somewhat similar to hers.

Both had met Li Cunxu by chance, both were beautiful, and Li Cunxu killed her without asking a question.

Could Li Cunxu be the perverted serial killer from her mother's stories?

But she didn't dare to leave Li Cunxu. This world was too dangerous.

Jiang Lingyun mustered her courage and said in a trembling voice.

"Wh… why did you kill her?"

"Sand Wraith, a Necromantic pet beast, likes to use dance to seduce people's minds, and then suck their life force dry while they enjoy the dance."
