Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 49

Liu Shengyuan cleared his throat. “Ahem, both of you, let’s not make a spectacle in front of the younger generation.”

These two, who had lived for who knows how many years, were acting no less childish than the youths in the room.

Jiang Huairen sat back down, his expression shifting between anger and frustration.

Ning Hanwen, on the other hand, was in high spirits. Watching Jiang Huairen suffer a severe setback was, without a doubt, one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Ning Hanwen smiled. “At the end of the day, this is just a quarrel between young people! It only escalated because a God-Tier Sequence was involved. But without that context, would we all be making such a fuss?”

The governors exchanged glances.

He wasn’t wrong.

The uproar was ultimately because both Alia and Kong Huanyuan were extraordinarily rare God-Tier descendants—precious even on a global scale.

Jiang Huairen knew there was nothing he could do against Su Yu today. After all, Kong Huanyuan had acted with the same intentions as him, and Su Yu technically hadn’t done anything wrong.

It was just that he couldn’t swallow this bitter pill.

Ning Hanwen continued, “Besides, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Jiang Huairen’s eye twitched. A good thing? What nonsense?

Liu Shengyuan, curious about what Ning Hanwen was hinting at, asked, “What’s so good about it?”

Ning Hanwen’s expression turned cryptic. “This might be the first time in Great Xia’s history that a ‘natural’ dual God-Tier situation has appeared among Beastmasters. Isn’t that worth celebrating?”

Liu Shengyuan, Jiang Huairen, and the others froze for a moment, their gazes sharpening.

Even Su Yu was utterly confused.

Elders, could you please just explain what secrets the God-Tier Sequences are hiding? Is it so hard to be straightforward?

Clearly, these men were reluctant to delve deeper into the topic, their expressions becoming reserved.

Jiang Huairen sighed deeply. “Huanyuan, tell me, do you want to go with him?”

Kong Huanyuan’s face was filled with confusion.

Her dream of crossing the Forbidden Sea to reach the forbidden zones had shattered like bubbles, leaving her adrift without purpose, like a boat floating aimlessly on the ocean.

Su Yu wanted to say something to her, but with these old foxes present, it didn’t feel appropriate.

Instead, Alia finished her grapes, leaned in, and pinched Kong Huanyuan’s delicate face. “Trust in this queen. The little one is unlike any other human you’ve ever met.”

In a voice imperceptible to others but echoing in Kong Huanyuan’s spiritual sea, Alia added, “The burden of our sorrowful wish will be realized through him. I’ve always believed in that.”

Those final words seemed to stir something deep in Kong Huanyuan’s heart. When she looked at Su Yu and Alia again, her gaze held less hostility.

“So, you’re the same as me?”

—

In Su Yu’s spiritual sea, the ethereal contract with Kong Huanyuan shifted subtly.

【Favorability: Hostile → Curious】

—

The void in Kong Huanyuan’s eyes seemed to regain some light. She pressed her lips together and spoke softly, “Yes… I can go with him.”

Jiang Huairen: ???

He had thought he still had a chance to sway her.

What did that vampire say to her?! How could Kong Huanyuan change her mind so suddenly? No—how could she not only change her mind but also reignite a spark of determination in her? There was even a glimmer of hope in her eyes now!

The others were equally surprised.

Su Yu smiled and gently held Kong Huanyuan’s hand. “I know you have something you want to say to me. Don’t worry—your wish is also my wish.”

Kong Huanyuan instinctively tried to pull her hand back but paused when she felt the warmth of his touch.

The Void Clan could sense the truth in one’s heart through subtle spiritual resonance. He wasn’t lying to her—this was the conclusion Kong Huanyuan came to.

What truly swayed her, however, were Alia’s earlier words.

Our sorrowful wish?

Well then, as a Void Witch, perhaps she could try believing in him—just this once.

—

Ning Hanwen squinted with amusement. “Now, doesn’t this resolve things neatly?”

Jiang Huairen let out a cold snort. “I’m not even going to bother arguing with you.”

“If this is Huanyuan’s decision, then I won’t say any more.”

“But Su Yu—you are to immediately withdraw from the Nine-School Alliance Tournament! And you are forbidden from participating in any future tournaments!”

Withdraw from the tournament?

And be banned from future ones?

The officials exchanged glances. It seemed… reasonable?

With Su Yu wielding two God-Tier pet beasts, who among his peers could possibly contest him? Considering the tournament determined the order in which schools could enter the demonic lairs, banning Su Yu could be seen as a fair compromise.

Ning Hanwen chuckled. “But this doesn’t apply to international tournaments, right?”

Jiang Huairen nodded. “Competing internationally to bring honor to Great Xia is, of course, a different matter.”

He turned to Su Yu. “Well, young man, do you accept this?”

Su Yu’s eyes lit up instantly.

Just this? That’s it??

He had already claimed the tournament’s most coveted rewards. Whether he continued competing didn’t matter—his reputation was set, and he’d already demonstrated his value to Great Xia’s leadership.

He had even mentally prepared himself for the possibility of expulsion.

This? This wasn’t punishment at all—it was a gift!

“I accept.”

Jiang Huairen added, “One more thing—Huanyuan was raised by me personally. If I hear that you’ve treated her poorly, I will deal with you myself.”

Su Yu hastily raised a hand in oath. “Don’t worry, I promise not a single harm will come to her!”

The Demon Suppression Division’s Commander, Wuma Ming, spoke up. “I’ll add something. Su Yu, Huanyuan was originally one of our most critical assets for suppressing the Eternal Calamity Lair. Since you’ve taken on this responsibility, you must now shoulder it.”

“Beyond the Dragonhawk Guard, you’ll also be required to participate in Demon Suppression Division operations.”

“Of course, whatever the Dragonhawk Guard provides you, we will match.”

Xia Tingen frowned slightly but said nothing. Wuma Ming’s request wasn’t unreasonable.

Su Yu nodded. “Protecting Great Xia is the duty of every citizen. Even if you hadn’t said so, I’d be ready to fight whenever Great Xia needs me.”

Liu Shengyuan smiled approvingly. “Good, very good. That’s the spirit.”

“But Su Yu,” Liu Shengyuan added with a smile, “when the media asks you about this later…”

Su Yu gave a knowing grin.

Handling reporters? He could manage that.

“Don’t worry. I understand.”

“I’ll tell them it’s all baseless rumors—Alia is just a vampire, and Huanyuan merely has a trace of special bloodline, not a true God-Tier.”

Liu Shengyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Best not to let the secret of the God-Tier spread—it would only invite trouble.

With that, the most pressing crisis was finally resolved.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Vice Principal Huang Wenbo of Jianghe University, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke up. “Su Yu, there’s another matter you need to address.”

“What exactly happened with Yan Ling’er?”

“I’ve heard from Shaolong that she was attacked by your vampire without any resistance.”

Reality was harsh.

Kong Huanyuan’s involvement, tied to the God-Tier Sequence, had garnered intense scrutiny.

Yan Ling’er, meanwhile, though also targeted by Alia and left with lingering abnormalities, hadn’t sparked nearly as much concern.

The others remained silent—they were content to spectate and bear witness.

Alia arched a delicate brow. “Hey, watch your words. What do you mean by ‘attacked’? That was this queen’s blessing!”

“Blessing?”

Yan Ling’er and Huang Wenbo turned to Alia in confusion.

Alia smirked. “She drank a drop of this queen’s blood and has now become my servant. No matter how you look at it, she’s gained far more than she lost.”

“In fact, shouldn’t she be thanking both me and the little one?”
