Chapter 21 Advancement, the Mythical Beast Qiongqi!

"You...you weren't dead? How did you get here?"

Consort Wu has gone mad with fear!

Liu Fu suddenly leaped up and pinned her down.

This was an absolutely insane night!

It was also the night when Consort Wu was subjected to the fiercest storm and was ravaged the most.

In the early hours of the morning, blood was found on the phoenix bed, and Consort Wu lay limp, unable to even breathe...

All she heard was Liu Fu's cold words:

"You will pay for what you do today for the rest of your life."

She had never seen Liu Fu so terrifying, and was too scared to move.

Long after Liu Fu left, she saw the large patch of blood on the bedsheet and instinctively shuddered...

In the early hours of the morning, the Liao emperor, having finished reviewing the memorials, unusually came to Consort Wu's room tonight.

"My beloved concubine, I will hear the news of Liu Fu's death tomorrow. Come, let us drink a few cups together tonight."

Consort Wu was startled. In a hoarse voice, she managed to decline a few times, saying that she was feeling extremely unwell, before pushing the Liao Emperor out of his bedchamber.

The frustrated Liao emperor hadn't expected this.

Rejected by his beloved concubine, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, eager to learn the news of Liu Fu's sudden death the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Liu Fu was in a great mood early in the morning and actually got up early to go shopping.

The street in front of the villa was teeming with Liao spies on all sides.

Upon seeing Liu Fu swagger out of the mansion, he immediately returned to report to the Liao Emperor.

The Liao emperor was immediately taken aback:

"Impossible! This poison is made of Gelsemium elegans and arsenic trioxide. Both of these poisons were personally stored by me. The warriors saw Liu Fu drink it that day. How could he not die?"

Not only did Liu Fu not die, he also strolled around the morning market, bought a lot of food, watched many Liao people's circus performances on the street, and bought a mountain of goods before returning to his villa.

The Liao emperor was now utterly frustrated.

"Could it be that my poison has lost its effectiveness?"

Several prisoners were immediately transferred from the death row and fed the poisonous plant and arsenic to the condemned.

In just a short while, all the death row inmates collapsed and died, their skin turning black, a sign that they had been poisoned.

The poison itself was fine, and the poisoned wine that Consort Wu added was also fine.

Which link in the chain could have gone wrong?

The Liao emperor was puzzled for a moment, just then the crown prince arrived.

“Father, it’s easy to kill Liu Fu now. Our Liao’s arena has just received dozens of new ferocious beasts. Why don’t we invite Liu Fu to watch the fight? We can simply use some tricks to send him into the arena and kill him without losing a single soldier.”

"At that time, we can send the fake Eighth Prince back to replace him. All of this can be done without anyone noticing, and it can be said to be watertight."

The Liao emperor was extremely pleased with the crown prince's suggestion.

The Liao people were rugged and savage, and they liked to raise wild beasts to compete in arenas, betting money on the outcome.

Recently, more than twenty tigers and a dozen fierce male lions arrived.

Even if Liu Fu is highly skilled, how could he possibly defeat so many ferocious beasts?

The Liao emperor stroked his beard and laughed heartily, praising Crown Prince Yelü Hongqi highly:

"Let's do it this way. First, lock all those beasts in the arena and starve them for three days. When Liu Fu falls into the arena that day, these beasts, which have been starving for three days, will surely tear him apart on the spot without leaving a trace."

Liu Fu, while in a separate residence, soon received an imperial edict from the Liao Emperor:

"Your Highness, the Liao Emperor knows that you are new to Liao and not yet familiar with the local customs. Therefore, he invites you to visit the most magnificent arena in Liao in three days. There will be a spectacular performance of fierce beasts fighting. His Majesty the Liao Emperor said that he will come here to pick you up in three days."

This was a notification, not a discussion. The eunuch left after conveying the decree.

Liu Fu knew he needed to be careful when he went to the Colosseum three days later.

Just then, news that Liu Fu had followed the Liao emperor into the city and fought his way through half a street in the Liao capital had already reached the Later Han Dynasty.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have become famous throughout the land! Your handling of the crisis in the capital of Liao and your fighting that cut through half the streets has greatly excited the people of the Later Han Dynasty. You are hereby rewarded with reputation points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for arguing with the Liao ministers and humiliating the Crown Prince and the Liao Emperor in the imperial court, which aroused the righteous indignation of the Liao soldiers and people and greatly enhanced the prestige of the Later Han Dynasty. The host is hereby rewarded with reputation points!"

Liu Fu

[Position]: Prince (First Rank)

[Reputation Value]: Points

[Mall Points]: 2785 points

Number of breeding troughs: 4 (4)

[Number of beasts in the army]: 0

At this point, Liu Fu had gained enough reputation points to directly upgrade a beast in its metamorphosis stage into a mythical beast.

Liu Fu was excited as he opened the Beast Ranch.

They finally found the Tiger King in its metamorphosis phase, and Liu Fu planned to upgrade it into the mythical beast Qiongqi.

"Ding! You have spent reputation points to upgrade your tiger (transformation stage) to a one-star beast!"

"Ding! Your tiger has completed its advancement, evolving into the mythical beast Qiongqi. Its form has undergone a tremendous change. Go check it out!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for activating the [Beast Army] function. Go and try out the new features!"

Liu Fu was incredibly excited!

What does it mean to own a mythical beast, Qiongqi?

This means that Liu Fu will essentially be immortal in the Liao Kingdom from now on.

Even if besieged by a million Liao soldiers, they could use the Qiongqi to fly into the sky and protect themselves.

Liu Fu immediately entered the animal breeding ranch and found that the Tiger King's appearance had undergone a huge transformation!

The Tiger King has a pair of sharp horns on its head, its body is snow-white with black stripes, and its black mane is more than a meter long. There are two huge black and white wings under its ribs, and its body faintly emits white light.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground with four claws, his fangs were serrated, and his body length had exceeded 12 meters. Standing on the spot, he was as tall as a two-story building!

In the vast space of the animal breeding ranch, Qiongqi flapped its wings and immediately took to the sky at an astonishing speed.

Because of Qiongqi's increased strength, Liu Fu's power was also enhanced once again.

However, this Qiongqi is now a one-star beast. If Liu Fu wants to share all of its abilities, he needs to exchange for four more shared jade pendants to fully enjoy all of Qiongqi's power.

Looking at the list of ferocious beasts, Qiongqi can now recruit 120 tigers and other ferocious beasts of the same kind, and it's free.

This army of 120 ferocious beasts obeyed only the commands of Liu Fu and Qiongqi.

Liu Fu immediately began recruiting, and soon 120 ferocious tigers, each 5 meters long, appeared in the animal breeding ranch.

"System notification: Qiongqi has been upgraded to two stars, and the number of beasts in the army will increase from 120 to 360!"

"System notification: Qiongqi has been upgraded to three stars and has gained its first beast skill. At the same time, the number of beasts in the army has increased to 1,000!"

Liu Fu

[Position]: Prince (First Rank)

[Reputation Value]: Points

[Mall Points]: 2785 points

Number of breeding troughs: 4 (4)

[Number of beasts in the army]: 120

The army of ferocious beasts has been activated, but we don't know how powerful these 120 tigers will be.

Liu Fu wanted to give it a try.
