Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Kyoto, Prince's Mansion.

At this moment, a group of blue-robed warlocks were sitting on a patch of grass in the back garden, with an altar in the middle of them.

There was a large green cauldron on the altar. The mysterious white dagger that Yan Li had brought back from Jiangnan was inserted into the cauldron, emitting a strange white light.

In the pavilion at the back, Yan Li was standing beside the stone table, looking at the scene in front of him with an extremely ugly expression.

Sitting behind her was a handsome man in a yellow robe. He was over 1.8 meters tall, with long hair draped over his shoulders and a stern face. His every move showed the demeanor of an emperor.

And he was none other than the Crown Prince of Tiancang Kingdom, Xuanyuan Long.

Yan Li looked up at the changing night sky and couldn't help but said worriedly, "My Lord, where does this white dagger come from? Why does it emit such a strange white light when the sorcerers perform magic?"

“This sword is called the Beast Taming Sword. It was created by the legendary powerful beast tamer hundreds of years ago. With it, not only can you make all beasts submit, but you can also control spiritual beasts, fairy beasts, and even divine beasts.” Xuanyuan Long said coldly.

"Then why has it been kept in my warehouse for so many years and no one knows about it?" Yan Li asked.

As she said this, she turned and walked to Xuanyuan Long, ready to pour wine for him.

Xuanyuan Long waved his hand, grasped her slender waist, and held her in his arms.

"what……"

Yan Li was so surprised that she cried out in anger, but she was extremely happy in her heart and actively pressed her chest against him.

Xuanyuan Long lowered his head and sniffed the faint fragrance on her shin, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that this is your family's ancestral artifact? The great beastmaster hundreds of years ago was the ancestor of your Yan family!"

"Oh my God! There is such a thing. Why didn't my grandfather and my father ever mention it to me?" Yan Li said in shock.

“That’s because, although your ancestor was powerful, he destroyed many countries with his powerful ability to tam beasts and was despised by countless people in this world. So in the eyes of you, the descendants of the Yan family, this is not something worth showing off or praising. Therefore, no one of you, the descendants of the Yan family, will mention your ancestor.” Xuanyuan Long said with a grin.

Yan Li widened her eyes and looked at his scary smile, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Although she is the prince's favorite concubine, she has been walking on thin ice all day long staying by the prince's side for so long. Moreover, the prince dotes on her very much, which has caused dissatisfaction from the crown princess and several other concubines.

It can be said that her current situation in the Prince's Mansion is extremely worrying. If she had not returned to Jiangnan this time, ruthlessly eliminated all the people in the Yan family, put the blame on Gu Chan, and successfully brought back the beast-taming sword, I am afraid the prince would not continue to favor her like this.

Based on this, one can imagine how much Yan Li was afraid of the prince at this moment.

Xuanyuan Long smiled sinisterly again and said, "Do you know why I love you so much?"

"Prince, I don't know." Yan Li said softly.

“Because you are the descendant of a beastmaster, you possess the bloodline of a beastmaster. Only your blood is enough to unlock the spiritual power of this beastmaster sword. In the future, only you will be able to control it, so you must work hard. I am just protecting you and cannot help you get rid of the Crown Princess and the others. As long as you can get rid of them with your own strength, you will be my Crown Princess in the future.” Xuanyuan Long said insidiously.

Yan Li's pupils dilated when she heard this, and her blood boiled in her heart.

She did so many cruel things just to climb up. Now everyone in the Yan family has been eliminated by her. If she can't climb to the position of Crown Princess, everything she has done will be meaningless.

And once she becomes the Crown Princess, when the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne, she will inevitably become the Queen, enjoying a lofty status second only to the Emperor.

Thinking of all this, Yan Li immediately said excitedly, "Thank you for your favor, Prince. I know what to do in the future."

"Well! Don't let me down." Xuanyuan Long said with satisfaction.

Yan Li changed the subject and said, "My Lord, I still don't quite understand. You asked these sorcerers to perform a ritual to activate the power of the Beast Taming Sword, but apart from the change in the weather in Kyoto, nothing else has changed!"

"The power of the Beast Taming Sword lies in that it can control your ancestor's mount even at a long distance. This mount is now hidden in the Tiancang River in the south of the Yangtze River. It took me a lot of effort to find it and lead it into the Tiancang River. Now it's finally useful." Xuanyuan Long said coldly.

Yan Li's face turned pale with shock. She quickly stood up from his arms and glared at him, "My Lord, you are not planning to use this magic sword to control the mount from a distance to deal with Gu Chan?"

"Yes, that's right. The mount your ancestor rode is now a ninth-level spirit beast. It is only one step away from becoming a fairy beast. If it goes crazy, not only Gu Chan, but everyone in the Jiangnan area will follow him to his death." Xuanyuan Long said with a gloomy face and cruelty.

Yan Li was so frightened that she stood there in a daze.

She always thought she was cruel, but she never expected that the prince was even more cruel than her.

You know, there are millions of people in Jiangnan! If such a disaster really happened, these millions of people would have to be buried with Gu Chan. In the future, Jiangnan would be hit hard and everyone would be displaced.

But the prince did all this just to get rid of Gu Chan.

This... is simply too cruel!

Xuanyuan Long said viciously, "Since ancient times, the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of millions of soldiers. Now if I want to succeed to the throne, I must step on millions of soldiers in Jiangnan to climb up. Otherwise, if Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing join hands, they will attack from both north and south, and it will be even more difficult for me to ascend to the throne."

"Your Highness is wise. I admire you so much. I will do my best to help you in the future." Yan Li came back to her senses and immediately knelt down to show her loyalty.

"Hahaha……"

Xuanyuan Long laughed triumphantly, then pounced on Yan Li, pressed her to the ground and kissed her.

Seeing this, the four maids standing around the pavilion immediately reached out and pulled down the curtains, covering the entire pavilion.

"what……"

Soon, Yan Li's favored moans could be heard in the pavilion.

On the other side, in the Jiangnan area.

At this time, there was a strong wind on the Tiancang River, and spiritual energy surged. As the heavy rain fell, the waves of the entire Tiancang River became higher and higher, until the river water surged over the dam and began to rush madly towards various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

After daybreak, the heavy rain did not stop, but continued to get heavier, so that the surging floods began to rush into Jiangnan City, causing tens of thousands of ordinary people in the city to suffer from the flood disaster.
