Allen’s grip loosens and she fell on the ground, gasping for breath.

“Killing her won’t solve anything…” Liu Muxiao slowly walked towards him.

“It, it’s really not my fault! Th, those two’s expulsion has nothing to do with me!” She asserted while hurriedly retroceding, away from Allen. But she could feel her voice falter after seeing three angry glares directed at her.

Allen raised his eyebrows and somehow Li Meihua knew, although his expression didn’t change, that he was taking pleasure in her sufferings.

“The fact that my two beloved elder sisters were chased out all because of me, made my blood boiling in extreme anger. Should I kill to calm this raging heart?” Allen said, his eyes traveling towards Li Meihua.

Li Meihua trembled in fear. She stealthily did some hand gestures, preparing herself to fight to the death if need be.

“However, even a demon like myself couldn’t be so hard-hearted.”

Li Meihua opened her loveable lips to say something but she was rendered speechless as Allen raised his hand and said, “So choose, submit to me or die in the place for your moronic tribe.”

Allen was saying grimly. As he spoke. Li Meihua could feel his obsidian-hard eyes fixed on his every movement.

“Wha--!” Li Meihua’s face was immediately devoid of color and her lips trembled. Of course, she knows what he meant. After all, he was a monster tamer!

There’s only one thing he meant when he said, submit… isn’t there?

Her first instinct was firm to refuse but then he saw Allen’s grim smile, Li Meihua wavered. What he said was more or less a command, an order…

He isn’t asking but commanding!

She was aware that Allen was studying her, his dark eyes lit by a new awareness, although his manner still held his tight reserve. She has a feeling that Allen’s eyes could see everything, even the slightest action she was doing.

Because of this, she realized that if she thought of doing anything at this moment, she will die without a burial ground.

She felt dismayed. The eyes of everyone were on her as if waiting for her answer.

“Oh? Is it that hard of a question, Lady Meihua?” He asked sardonically. “It’s just two simple choices, your servitude or your life… easy as that~”

“Is it difficult to know which is heavy?”

“You… I’m the daughter of one of the tribe’s high elder… d, do you think my mother would allow this kind of thing?!”She stammered, disconcerted by the anger in his voice.

“High Elder?”

“That’s right!!” As if she found a straw to grab, she immediately voices out with relief. However, what Allen said next was like pouring cold water on her.

Allen laughed. “Hahaha, now that I think about it, l just realized that I hadn’t introduced myself to you am I?”

“Well then, My real name is Allen Bando and Ye Wushuang is just one of my alias,” Allen said with a smile.

“In fact, I have gone with many names. But the ones I’m most associated with are, [ Black Demon King ], [ The Immortal ], [ The Monster ], and lastly [ Ruthless Overlord ].”

Allen did a curtsy, like a noble man he did a half-ironic bow, but Li Meihua could see his mischievous smile.

“I have never been the sort of man who considers social niceties. After all, why should I be? I am strong.”

!!?

“I am stronger than them than you, and those standing above me, sooner or later I will be stepping over them underneath my feet. Why should I bother to observe any of the conventional decencies?”

Li Meihua stared at Allen in shock.

Weren't those words too absolute in the manner?

You really can boast without shame!

Li Meihua was at a loss as to what to say. Too arrogant!

Allen was extremely domineering!

“So now, do you think that I fear your mother? Even if it’s your whole tribe, I will show you how I erase them if something happened to my two elder sisters!”

He took a quick stride towards her and stood looking down at her.

A faint rueful smile touched his features.

If Allen was in his right mind, he would probably be wondering about his words because he wouldn’t be able to understand what he just said.

Annihilating a whole tribe so easily… no matter how drastic the situation was, Allen was never the type to easily say or decide something like this. Despite that, his feelings were oddly enough accepting it.

The strong feelings telling him that this was fine, ruled his mind,

It was like he was a completely different person from when he was before.

Sadly, Allen wasn’t aware of that.

Looking at him, Li Meihua realized her powerlessness. She stayed still for a moment before clenching his fists and stood up. She faced Allen, although there’s bitterness hidden within it, her expression showing resolve.

“Before I answered that question, I had one condition…”

“Oh?” Allen was interested. “Pray tell.”

She took a deep breath and took the plunge. “You can’t treat me as a tamed monster but a lover… that is my only condition?”

She said with a bluntness that matched Allen’s. Her eyes were misty, unlike how bright and alert they were just a while ago.

“What?” Allen stared at her with a look that boded no good to a deceiver.

Li Meihua hurried, swiftly, trying to get it over while her courage held. “It, it’s a shame for us to be tamed by a human… th, that’s why I would rather gi, give myself to you rather than be reduced to only a ta, tamed monster!”

Allen’s expression relaxed a little and wry smile appeared on his lips.

Behind him, the three women were glaring at her. Each was holding some kind of weapon. Even the huge white snake was glaring at her like she was dying to swallow her.

But Li Meihua gritted her teeth and endured. She held her ground, not wanting any compromise!

“Wushuang?!” Liu Muxiao called out anxiously.

Allen tilted his head in befuddlement. “Though I don’t know what the difference is, after all, you will be then one of us. However, I need to refuse…”

Hearing his words, Li Meihua felt disappointed. On the contrary, the three women’s expression becomes so dazzling like the radiant sun.

But the next words made them feel speechless; they felt displeased and unsatisfied.

“… Though, I will make a promise to you that I won’t treat you as the same the others. Although saying this might be a bit unfair, but from my family, Lightning, Qin and Baishe were the only ones that I treated specially. They are more than my tamed beasts…”

Sssshhhh!! “Master!!” Madam White’s delighted cry rang behind him. It seemed like she was a bit touched by what Allen had said.

“… …”

Allen’s mouth curls up with a smile, eyes restraining his laughter, clearly scheming. “As for you, it will depend on you. However, I will give you a chance. Make me fall in love with you if you can…”

Allen had flung back his head and laughed.

Li Meihua stood mute.

But even so, for now, that’s more than enough!

Li Meihua clenched her fists tightly. It was as though she had been given a reprieve.

After all, she was extremely confident in her own charm. Of course, she wasn’t talking about her skill but her own appeal. Compared to humans, she was above in terms of beauty.

Thinking of this, she felt her heart thud with relief, but of course, she mustn’t reveal that happiness.

“F, fine! I, I will submit!”

Allen’s mouth bursts into a smile so wide that his eyes turn into crescents. He then extends his right arm and his hand placed on top of Li Meihua’s head.

“Submit to me as your new king. Protect me and aid me in my cause.”

Allen’s hand shone a golden light.

Ding!

[ Congratulations! You have succeeded in taming a Huli Jing Lv7 ]

“Glad to have you on board… Meihua.”

“Yes,” Li Meihua nodded softly.

… …

[ Rock Panda ] a three-meter tall panda that has an ability to cover its arms with rocks to make it stronger and harder, and can control earth as its means of attacking and defense.

It was a strong monster that possesses skills akin to high-level spells called [ Earth Smash ], [ Earthquake ] and [ Rock Slide ]. These three skills are its basic but deadly skills.

With Li Meihua leading the group, Allen finally met and successfully captured this creature. Though it was usually lazy and slothful, still Allen had some difficulty capturing it, in the end causing him to use one of his precious monster balls.

Although it’s attack were nothing to Allen, it’s defenses were stupendous that Allen couldn’t help but use big moves such as [ Thor’s Judgment ], [ Thunder Dragon ] and others while making sure it won’t die accidentally…

Because of that, Allen has no choice but to use one of his monster balls to successfully capture it.

With the additional [ Rock Panda ] and Silver who was staying in Milan with his sister, Allen had a total of 20 monsters tamed.

It’s already a huge amount compared to other monster tamers.

Of course, Allen didn’t forget to train his [ Skill Replication ] ability.

In looking for the [ Rock Panda ] Allen and the group encountered several monsters which upon seeing them run without hesitation but was forcefully captured by Allen- though afterward they were set free, after all, they were only there for grinding his [ Skill Replication ].

Out of 16 monsters they had an encounter, he had only managed to acquire 2 skills; [ Photosynthesis ] and [ Iron Strike ].

[ Photosynthesis ] is a skill that makes Allen recovered open wounds or cuts to some extent as long as he was basked in the sun. It also worked for his stamina and mana. It was good self-recovery skill though the only problem was its recovery speed. An inch cut will recover after 4-5 minutes much less fatal wounds.

But Allen has some expectation for this skill. He only needs to increase its level to reduce the recovery speed and become more proficient.

[ Iron Strike ] was an active attack skill that enabled Allen to transform his fist, leg or any part of his body use to strike the enemy into hard as iron, dealing extra damage.

And now, [ Rock Panda ] didn’t disappoint him. With three chances, two were successful. [ Earthquake ] and [ Rock Spikes ].

[ Earthquake ] is a skill that enabled the user to shake the earth for a moment. Of course, the duration covered depends on the skill level. Currently, he could shake the earth for half a minute.

[ Rock Spikes ] summon sharp spikes from the ground to attack an enemy.

This success made Allen excited after all, it only meant one thing. [ Skill Replication ]’s level was getting higher and higher causing for his chances to successfully copy a skill to increase as well.

“Master, where to go now?” Li Meihua asked.

Allen stopped walking. He then turned around and looked at Liu Muxiao.

“What?” Liu Muxiao noticed and stopped as well. She looked at Allen with a faint smile.

For a moment, Allen stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say.

“Is something wrong…?”

“Muxiao, you should already know what my personality is… right?”

“What are you saying?” Liu Muxiao frowned.

Allen regarded her in silence for a few moments.

“I always stick to my principle, ‘Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth and blood must be repaid with blood!’” Allen informed her.

“Though indeed, I’m certain that I have understood your feelings, Muxiao.”

?!

“But in the end, I have to consider them a threat since they have attacked me.”

Liu Muxiao felt something foreboding.

“Wushuang, what are you pla---”

“It's fine, I give you my word. I won’t do anything excessive but it doesn’t mean that I will also sit this out.”

Liu Muxiao realized Allen was actually grinning.

He was planning something… and this excites him.

His next words bore this out. “I won’t kill since Xue Ling will be there. Scaring them is enough, I believe.”

“You won’t stop me right?”
