Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 1127: Chapter 540: Soul Dagger of Affectionate Death!

In a room adorned with a simple design, filled with over a hundred incense burners,

a middle-aged woman in red, her face haggard and revealing an aged appearance despite her charming demeanor, was intently staring at the glaze cup set upon the jade table before her.

She paid no heed to the trivial noises emanating from each of the incense burners.

If a Beast Master, used to foraging in the deep mountains, were in this room, they could easily discern that the sounds from these cauldrons came from various venomous insects, toads, and snakes.

Yet these spine-chilling noises seemed strangely harmonious within the confines of this room.

After a long while, Ning Hongshu stood up, lost in contemplation.

Her journey had not been smooth sailing, but she always managed to stay ahead of her peers.

By the age of just over seventy, she had become a Grandmaster Creator, seamlessly taking over the legacy of the Hall of Nine Poisons.

She always remembered her master’s teachings, protecting the three Federations on the Cold Poison Continent.

Yet, although she could protect these three Federations, she could not guard her own love.

Ning Hongshu knew that many of her colleagues in the Contract Garden thought of her as hopelessly lovesick, and they looked down on her.

But Ning Hongshu felt it was they who did not understand the preciousness of love.

She used her own resources to prolong her husband’s life, yet she did not betray the Hall of Nine Poisons or the three Federations on the Cold Poison Continent.

On the contrary, her husband had made many sacrifices for the Hall of Nine Poisons.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for the Hall to have driven out the other two forces from the Cold Poison Continent in just over a decade,

securing a dominant position in trade with the surrounding Federations.

Originally, Ning Hongshu hadn’t planned to attend this Contract Garden gathering.

Ever since her husband had transplanted those special-grade pollutants into his body, his health had progressively worsened.

Given the choice, Ning Hongshu would much prefer to stay by her husband’s side.

However, it was only after hearing that a new Saint Creator had emerged within the Contract Garden did Ning Hongshu’s heart ignite with hope, and she decided to try her luck.

Unfortunately, this Saint Creator named Qixing did not offer her any help.

This realization made Ning Hongshu fully confront her husband’s fated lifespan.

Having completed the Contract Garden gathering, Lang Huan felt an unease in his heart.

Seeing Ning Hongshu’s state, Lang Huan couldn’t help but reflect on his own experiences.

He too had once had a love, though his had never blossomed like Ning Hongshu’s.

If his past love had not left him to seek the path of a Grandmaster Creator, perhaps he might have ended up in the same plight as Ning Hongshu.

Between parting in life and death and other separations, Lang Huan was at a loss as to which was more painful!

Li Xu noticed Lang Huan’s discomfiture and, thinking of the Contract Garden gathering that had just concluded, a chill ran through her.

“Sister, did something go wrong at the gathering with Qixing?”

Now that Yayue Place had entered into a deep collaboration with Qixing, Tide Bay had started to operate with an influx of resources from numerous Grandmaster Creators.

The relationship between Yayue Place and Qixing was now of utmost importance and couldn’t afford any mishaps!

Moreover, her older sister was certainly the type to take the initiative with Qixing.

Could it be that Qixing was dissatisfied with the cooperation with Yayue Place?

Fang Mu had dispatched personnel to supervise the operation of Tide Bay.

The inspector sent by Fang Mu was not there merely to fill a position; he was thorough in every aspect of his monitoring.

Not to mention that Yayue Place had never intended any deceitful schemes.

Even if Yayue Place harbored ill intentions, they most likely wouldn’t have the opportunity.

Hearing this, Lang Huan realized that Li Xu had misunderstood and quickly replied,

“I didn’t find an opportunity to make contact with Qixing at the gathering.”

“This was my first face-to-face encounter with Qixing himself.”

“Perhaps it’s just my impression, but Qixing felt very much like Fang Mu to me.”

“They’re both that kind of calm, understated person who doesn’t seek the limelight.”

Understanding this, Li Xu’s face beamed with a smile,

“Sister, it’s no wonder that Qixing and Fang Mu are similar; the student naturally resembles his teacher. What’s so strange about that?”

“If you feel this way, it also shows Qixing has good reason to value Fang Mu!”

Lang Huan nodded in agreement.

If she hadn’t perceived Qixing as someone who keeps a low profile, certainly a very discreet person who wouldn’t like overly ostentatious behavior,

Lang Huan really would have openly shown goodwill to Qixing at the Contract Garden gathering.

The deep relationship between Yayue Place and Qixing could not be concealed, after all, their partnership was evident.

Qixing always claimed to be in seclusion.

A Saint Creator had no need to lie.

Qixing’s attendance at the Contract Garden gathering was probably due to only recently joining the Contract Garden.

It wasn’t certain that Qixing would be present at the next gathering.

Lang Huan felt a tinge of regret in his heart.

Just then, Lang Huan noticed a change in the Legend Butterfly that Fang Mu had given him,

It was clear that Fang Mu was using the Legend Butterfly to send him a message.

Fang Mu seldom sought out Lang Huan, especially just after a Contract Garden gathering had ended.

It was likely related to Qixing.

Qixing, having recently joined the Contract Garden, would surely have sensed the complexity within during this gathering.

Lang Huan quickly communicated with Fang Mu through the Legend Butterfly.

The content of Fang Mu’s message surprised Lang Huan.

Fang Mu did not ask to meet with him but rather hoped to use him to reach out to Ning Hongshu, who hadn’t responded at the Contract Garden gathering.

Lang Huan was momentarily taken aback, unsure what Fang Mu needed with Ning Hongshu.
