“Liancheng! Xiaoman! The two of you are God-Ascension level elites. Why are you so surprised?” Chen Xiaobei asked as he hung up the call.

The 20-meter tall Giant Barbaric Tiger walked to the tree and lowered its head to let Chen Xiaobei down, which was at Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman’s standing height.

Ao Liancheng inhaled sharply as he struggled to find the words. “Even a Primordial Spirit cultivation Earth-God would find it hard to believe… A formidable Giant Barbaric Tiger lets you stand on its head… Zhufeng! You are phenomenal!”

Su Xiaoman raised her little hands to her eyes and rubbed them. She sounded very uncertain as she asked her companions, “Am I dreaming? Childe Chen… You… You’ve actually subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger?”

“This is not a dream!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “This is just a really big cat. It’s not that difficult to tame!”

Su Xiaoman’s mouth fell open. “That’s our Divine Tiger faction’s dream! Everyone from the faction leader to the disciples had set their sights on this impossible task but no one has been able to do it since our ancestors… If our people were to find out about this, they would all go crazy!”

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Please keep this a secret for me. I don’t wish for anyone to find out that I’ve subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger yet!”

“I… I will…” Su Xiaoman nodded, a questioning look in her eyes. “But… Childe Chen, can you tell us how you did it?”

Ao Liancheng nodded eagerly. “Yeah! How did you subdue this super beast?”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “Remember how it was injured earlier? I gave it some healing medication, reasoned with it and appealed to its emotions! As its wounds began to heal, as an act of gratitude, it willingly submitted itself to be my Spirit Beast!”

“That’s impossible…” Su Xiaoman did not believe him. “In our experience, the tiger finds humans very repulsive! It won’t even allow you to get near it, much less eat the pills you give it!”

Maybe I’m different from a normal human.” Chen Xiaobei answered calmly.

“Then when did you enter the cave?” Ao Liancheng asked. “Xiaoman and I have been watching the entrance but we never saw you enter!”

“Oh, I’m pretty fast. Maybe that’s why you didn’t see me.” Chen Xiaobei answered.

“No…” Ao Liancheng rubbed his chin doubtfully. “At our cultivation, even if Xiaoman and I could not see you, we would’ve at least sensed something…”

There was only one explanation for this – Chen Xiaobei had used a High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur to turn himself into a flying insect, allowing him to enter the cave undetected.

In their conversation over the phone earlier, Chen Xiaobei had again confirmed with Ao Liancheng that the Giant Barbaric Tiger was not an actual Earth-God, and did not possess the Primordial Spirit.

The severely wounded tiger did not notice the little insect Chen Xiaobei entering the cave.

All he needed to complete the task was to give it a Heavenly Dog Biscuit!

The biscuits were ineffective on Earth-Gods but since the tiger was not an Earth-God, the master-slave acknowledgment process went smoothly.

That was why Chen Xiaobei was allowed to stand on the tiger’s head as they exited the cave.

However, this whole process involved too many secrets and Chen Xiaobei had to keep mum in providing the details.

Even if he did tell them about the mystical Prosperous Monkey Fur and Heavenly Dog Biscuit, Ao Liancheng and Su Xiaoman may not believe him.

Rather than wasting time explaining everything, it more convenient to make something up.

“Alright, let’s not get too caught up with the process. The result is what’s important!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “Now that I’ve successfully subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger, the Saint Duke task is settled. I will need to move on to the next operation!”

“Yes! Yes!” Ao Liancheng nodded. “We have to stop Tenshou and Royal Dome’s second joint-attack!”

“I can help too!” Su Xiaoman volunteered.

“No! The two of you cannot come with me!” Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Xiaoman, you are from Divine Tiger faction. You cannot be dragged into this Nine Zone feud!”

“But I really want to help you…” Su Xiaoman pouted.

“You can still help me when you return to your faction!” Chen Xiaobei took out a piece of paper. “There are five things on this list which are extremely important to me. I’m hoping you could help me learn where I could get them. You are from Apocalypse Starfield, after all, and you must have some special connections!”

“Alright!” Su Xiaoman nodded. “Since they are so important to you, I will do my best!”

“Liancheng! You have to return to Neptune!” Chen Xiaobei said. “There are only 20 days left. If I fail to destroy the enemy’s plan, I hope that you and his majesty, the holy emperor, would honor his word in helping Saint Duke!”

Ao Liancheng crinkled his nose. “I can just call my grandfather. I don’t have to go back to tell him!”

“No! You have to go!” Chen Xiaobei said. “My next plan is to enter Tenshou Starfield. I’m just a nobody. No one will recognize me but if I bring the prince of Neptune with me, we’ll have eyes on us all the time!”

“That’s easy, I can put on a disguise. No one will be able to recognize me… I won’t be at peace unless I go with you!” Ao Liancheng said.

“Brother!” Chen Xiaobei said grimly. “I can understand that you did not have faith in me at the beginning but now that you’ve been with me for so long and seen all my trump cards, you’re still not confident in me?”

“I…” Ao Liancheng started. He knew very well that Chen Xiaobei had the Chaos Blood Sword, Blood-God’s Deity-killing painting, Crimson Flame Fan, Ice Crystal Longsword, and Yingzheng’s Black Coffin.

Most importantly, Chen Xiaobei now had a formidable Giant Barbaric Tiger as his Spirit Beast.

These trump cards were all Earth-God level!

Except for the Emperor himself, no one could pose as a threat to Chen Xiaobei in all of Tenshou Starfield!

“Brother, have a little faith in me!” Chen Xiaobei said. “I don’t need you to worry about me! In fact, I should be the one worried about you, who are still recovering from your injuries, following me around!”

“Alright! I understand!” Ao Liancheng nodded ponderously. “I will go back to Neptune and help my grandfather prepare for battle! After 20 days, you’ll just need to give the word and our soldiers will enter the battlefield!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded. “You can get ready. But don’t be so pessimistic. I may not return from Tenshou unsuccessful! As long as everything goes according to plan, this war may not have to start at all!”
