Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 435: A show of force

Ye Qing'an led Eleven back to the tent. Eleven peeked out, his eyes full of curiosity: "Mother, was that the Taotie just now? It looked so ugly, but it didn't seem that big either. Why do people say it can eat everything in the world? Can its stomach hold so much food?"

"It's probably because it's digested relatively quickly after eating."

Eleven blinked: "Mother, if we hide in here, will the Taotie really not be able to see us?"

"Yes, this camp has a barrier. With the barrier in place, the Taotie can't see us."

Eleven peeked around for a while, then suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

Ye Qing'an turned to look at Eleven, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mother, the barrier you just mentioned, is it like that big semi-circular thing that covers our heads like a layer of glass?"

Ye Qing'an laughed out loud. Like glass? Eleven is quite good at describing things.

"Yes."

"However, that thing not only looks like glass, but it can also help us block ordinary people and ordinary magical beasts that come to invade. It's just that Taotie is one of the three ancient ferocious beasts, so it probably can't stop it."

“But…” Eleven pulled her head back and tightly pulled the felt of the tent together with her hands: “But Mother, I just saw that the glass-like thing is gone.”

"Just now, suddenly, it disappeared."

Ye Qing'an paused slightly, somewhat surprised: "Disappeared?"

"Yes, it's gone."

Ye Qing'an stood up, walked to the door, and reached out to pull the cloth back open, but Eleven held on tightly, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, Mother, the barrier has disappeared. If Mother goes out now, the Taotie will be able to see you. It's too dangerous."

"It's alright. I had a stroke of luck recently, which greatly improved my skills. Now that Taotie can no longer harm me. Besides, if that Taotie sees this camp, we could end up in its belly regardless of whether we're inside the tents or not."

"Huh?" Eleven stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous. After a long while, he frowned and asked, "It even eats the tents?"

"Yes."

Ye Qing'an responded and pulled open the felt tent flap: "Moreover, it has now entered the Monster Forest. The Monster Forest has flowers, grass, trees, and monsters. For that Taotie, it is indeed a paradise on earth. It shouldn't be coming out for a while."

Ye Qing'an pulled back the felt blanket and looked outside. The sky was a little darker than before, but it was still clear that the barrier formed by the combined strength of all the soldiers in the camp had disappeared.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Even though everyone had already left the tent, they still made sure to remove the protective barrier around it, which clearly showed their unwelcoming attitude.

Gu Hai Bar...

Ye Qing'an chuckled. This blatant disregard for propriety seemed to give others cause for criticism.

"It's alright." Ye Qing'an stood outside the tent, her expression indifferent. "Let's just stay here peacefully."

As they were talking, they heard faint noises coming from the air.

Eleven heard it too, and almost jumped up: "Mother, Mother, listen, did you hear that?"

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "I heard you."

There were the cries of many wild beasts, the faint sound of disordered footsteps, and even the flapping of countless birds' wings.

Ye Qing'an was about to walk outside when she felt as if someone was grabbing her skirt. She turned around and saw Eleven looking up at her with pleading eyes.

Ye Qing'an chuckled, picked up Eleven, and with a leap, jumped to the top of the tent.

The scene of the distant Monster Forest was then fully brought into view. The Monster Forest looked enormous; as far as the eye could see, it was a hazy gray expanse that stretched to the left and right, with no end in sight.

Above that misty gray expanse, countless birds, as if startled, suddenly took flight from the forest.

Many magical beasts also emerged from the forest, scurrying about everywhere, and many were heading towards their camp.

"It was probably the Taotie or the soldiers who went in that disturbed the monsters in the forest."

Eleven bit her lip, her little face a little pale: "Mommy, a lot of magical beasts are running this way, are we alright?"

"There are still a few soldiers guarding the camp. Although the number is small, most of these soldiers have strong spiritual power. As for the magical beasts that were disturbed and ran out of the magical beast forest, most of them are from the edge of the magical beast forest. Most of these magical beasts have low or no spiritual power, so they are not a big problem."

Gu Hai's actions weren't really intended to kill her; he was probably just trying to give her a warning.

Nodding at eleven o'clock, he always listened to Ye Qing'an unconditionally: "That's good, that's good, it's good that there's nothing seriously wrong. It's just that it looks a little scary. Mother, let's go into the tent."

"Okay." Ye Qing'an held Eleven in his arms, turned around and went into the tent.

Shen Qingdai stayed close to Ye Qing'an until they entered the tent, then lowered her voice and asked, "Miss, what is this...?"

Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "The commander of the camp didn't want me to come, so he gave me this show of force, perhaps to scare me back."

“That Taotie…”

Ye Qing'an scoffed, "If Gu Hai were capable of dealing with that Taotie, they wouldn't have dragged this out until now. Tonight, they'll likely return empty-handed. As for the Taotie, although it's gluttonous, this Demon Beast Forest is too vast for it to finish eating in a short time. Having finally found a delicacy, it naturally won't want to leave."

Ye Qing'an put Eleven down and sat in a chair, his fingers lightly tracing the armrest: "In the Fire Radiance Pavilion, is there anyone who can observe celestial phenomena and predict the weather?"

"Yes." Shen Qingdai nodded gently.

Ye Qing'an nodded and replied, "Have someone check the weather for me over the next three days."

"Yes."

The commotion in the Beast Forest continued. Seeing that Eleven looked uneasy, Ye Qing'an simply set up a barrier above their tent and then took Eleven into the Cloud Dreamland.

"You've arrived." Jiuxiao walked over quickly: "I think the steward should indeed have a spirit beast that can use a summoning array."

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Why do you think that?"

“Just now, I saw Ye Qinghao return to the Ye residence. He appeared suddenly…”
