Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Seeing that Gu Chan didn't say anything, Qi Xingfan shook his head and gave orders outside.

"Someone, bring it in."

"Yes, Your Highness." A guard outside responded immediately.

Then a funny scene happened. The ghost bat beast was tied up and carried in from outside the door by two guards, and then thrown to the ground with a bang.

Gu Chan felt numb from watching it!

She originally thought that she was caught red-handed and could be used as bait while the ghost bat beast hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity to strike. However, this stinky bat had actually been caught long ago and was tied up like a twisted dough stick and thrown in.

Doesn't this mean that their mission to assassinate King Fan has ended before it even began?

This...what the hell is going on!

Qi Xingfan said coldly, "The reason why we, the royal family of Yexing Nation, can control the ghost bat beasts is because we have a secret method to control them. It would be fine if it doesn't come to me, but if it dares to come to me, I can use the secret method to control it and make it unable to move, and it will surrender obediently."

"You stinky bat! Why didn't you make it clear before you came? Now look what you've done! You came here for nothing and just gave yourself up. I really admire you." Gu Chan stroked his forehead with his hand, saying helplessly.

The Ghost-Batmon was no longer arrogant at this moment, and said bitterly, "I broke free from the secret technique in Kyoto before, so I thought I would come here again. Even if he used the secret technique against me, I could break free like before. Who knew I wouldn't be able to break free this time!"

"Forget it, just admit defeat!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

The ghost bat beast sighed unwillingly, feeling truly powerless.

Qi Xingfan ignored it and looked directly at Gu Chan and said, "Now that our two countries are on good terms, as the Lord of Jiangnan, I certainly cannot kill you easily, but I can still destroy your physical skills."

"Prince Fan, let's not beat around the bush. If you really wanted to destroy my physical skills, you would have done it last night. There was no need to let my guards politely invite me to the mountain. Just tell me straight! What exactly do you want to do?" Gu Chan said without any fear.

"Okay, you are indeed a smart person. I like talking to people like you so as not to get too tired." Qixing Fan said with a faint smile.

Gu Chan secretly mobilized the spiritual energy in her body and was ready to take action at any time. Anyway, their assassination plan had already failed long ago. In this situation, she could either get the most favorable result through negotiation, or fight for a chance of survival.

Qi Xingfan was not in a hurry, but ordered the two guards, "Go and bring my treasure over here."

"Yes, Your Highness." The two guards responded respectfully and ran out quickly.

After a while, they came in from outside carrying a bird's nest made of gold and placed it next to Qixingfan.

When Gu Chan looked up, she was stunned.

This was because in this golden bird's nest, which was covered with priceless soft silk, a mysterious beast with a fiery red body and that looked like a pheasant was lying inside, dying and gasping for breath.

Gu Chan asked in confusion, "Prince Fan, your pheasant is so beautiful! Where did you get it?"

"How dare you. What pheasant? This is my precious mysterious beast, the Phoenix." Qixingfan glared at Gu Chan and shouted angrily.

"Ah? Phoenix? Why doesn't it look like a phoenix to me? It's a peacock at most." Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

Qi Xingfan's face was furious, but he finally let out his anger and said, "Yes, my baby is indeed not a pure-blooded phoenix. It is the offspring of a golden roc and a fire eagle."

"That's what I told you! I've seen what a phoenix looks like before. How could it be a pure-blooded phoenix?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Before she traveled through time, she had seen the image of the phoenix many times in modern film and television dramas. Although the mysterious beast in front of her looked a bit like a phoenix, the difference was too great. It was definitely not a pure-blooded phoenix.

Qi Xingfan didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, so he said, "Lord Gu, I heard that you are a veterinarian. The reason why I didn't kill you last night was because of this reason. I don't know why my baby suddenly fell ill after coming here with me. I have found many veterinarians to treat it but they can't cure it. If you can help me cure it, I will spare your life and not waste your physical skills. What do you think?"

"Do I have any choice? I have no choice but to agree to you." Gu Chan said with her hands spread out.

"Then please show it to me!" Qixingfan said politely.

Gu Chan did not rush to treat the mysterious beast, but said cunningly, "Prince Fan, since you already know that we are here to assassinate you on the orders of City Lord Ye, then I have to make it clear to you first. The reason why I agreed to help him is only because I want to get food from him to save the people in my Jiangnan area who have been affected by the disaster. I personally have no hatred towards you."

"I understand this. I also know about the incident with the dragon causing trouble in your Jiangnan area some time ago." Qi Xingfan nodded.

"Then Prince Fan, I won't say much more. I just hope that after I cure your mysterious beast, you can let me leave. I promise to go back to the Jiangnan area after I go down the mountain and never get involved in the open and secret struggles among your royal family again." Gu Chan expressed his thoughts.

Qi Xingfan shook his head and said, "No, since you are here, you can't leave so easily. Right now, along the border of Yexing Country, you can't keep the Ye family if you can't keep me, and you can't keep me if you can keep the Ye family. As the middleman, you have to help us solve this problem, otherwise you can't leave safely."

"No, you are being a bit shameless. I am just an outsider. How can I help you with such a troublesome matter? Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Gu Chan said with a bitter face.

Dry!

She did it all for those ninety-eight ships of food!

Now I’m trapped and I can’t escape even if I want to.

Where could she go to cry?

Qi Xing Fan smiled lightly and said, "You came to assassinate me, and I'm lucky enough not to kill you. Why are you still complaining here? If you want me to let you go, then you should at least help me solve the problem, right? Otherwise, what reason do I have to let you go like this?"

"Um...this..." Gu Chan smiled awkwardly, really not knowing what to say.

She admitted that what Qi Xingfan said was absolutely correct. Under such circumstances, she was lucky to be able to sit here and chat safely. This was too much to ask.

Qi Xingfan stood up, turned his back to Gu Chan, and said, "Alright, stop talking. Let's cure my beast first! If you need any herbs, just tell these two guards. I'm going to do something first and come back later."

"Prince Fan, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Let's discuss it further." Gu Chan said hurriedly.

Qixing Fanli ignored her and walked towards the door.

Gu Chan sat where she was, and exchanged glances with the ghost bat beast that was tied up and lying on the ground. Both the man and the beast were too embarrassed to speak.
