The Villain: Claiming The Protagonist's Master

"Really? Looks like you've chosen death. Then, go ahead and die!"

Seeing its stubborn "duck mouth" response, Su Chen's face remained expressionless, and the strength in his right hand increased a bit.

With his left hand, he gave its head two more "love-filled" hard flicks.

"Ouch, ouch... Stop! Stop! Stop! Big brother, I give up! I surrender! I won't pretend anymore, okay?"

Seeing the situation, the little creature immediately caved and quickly begged for mercy, "Isn't it just about me recognizing you as my master? Fine, from now on, you're my boss. I'll listen to everything you say."

The little creature's heart was full of regret. Why did it have the sudden urge to challenge this terrifying demon? This demon simply had no regard for martial ethics!

"Open your sea of consciousness!" Su Chen coldly commanded.

"Okay..." The little creature's face was full of reluctance, but it still complied.

Immediately, Su Chen released a strand of pure spiritual consciousness into its sea of consciousness.

Suddenly, a vast amount of information surged into Su Chen's mind.

It turned out that this little creature was truly a descendant of the ancient divine dragon. Su Chen had really stumbled upon a treasure this time.

Moments later, he released the little creature and said indifferently, "From now on, your name will be Little Immortal."

"Little Immortal?"

The little creature blinked its eyes, seemingly very pleased with the name. It happily danced around, saying, "Hee hee, I finally have a name! Little Immortal is such a nice name."

Luo Shen and Green Vine, seeing Little Immortal so happy, couldn't help but smile.

Although it was of the dragon clan and had the most elite bloodline, it had just hatched. Full of curiosity about the outside world, it inevitably retained some childlike innocence.

———

The next day, the group arrived at a lakeside.

They saw a green bird flying out of the distant woods, holding a small stone in its beak, flapping its wings as it headed toward them.

Little Immortal's eyes lit up upon seeing the bird, and drool began to flow from its mouth.

Swish!

A golden shadow darted straight toward the bird.

Green Vine let out a startled cry, "Don't!"

But it was too late. Little Immortal swallowed the green bird in one gulp.

"Run! That's a Jingwei bird!" Green Vine's face was full of horror.

Jingwei birds were legendary fierce birds said to be messengers of the celestial realm.

"Green Vine sister, what's wrong? It's just... a bird, isn't it?" Little Immortal leisurely flew back, still smacking its lips as if savoring the taste.

Tweet, tweet, tweet!

The distant forest suddenly erupted in chaos. Numerous birds flew toward them, all resembling the one Little Immortal had swallowed. Their sizes varied, but they all had red beaks and emerald feathers.

The largest among them had wings that spanned a meter wide—an imposing sight.

Their razor-sharp claws, like blades, were chilling to behold.

Their sheer numbers were overwhelming, a dense swarm blotting out the sky.

The thunderous cries they emitted were deafening, enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

"We're doomed! We're in big trouble!"

Green Vine's face turned deathly pale as she realized Little Immortal had swallowed a young Jingwei bird, completely enraging the flock.

With such a massive flock attacking, even ten people wouldn't survive, let alone just the three of them.

However, Little Immortal showed no fear. On the contrary, it wiped its drooling mouth with its paw, its face full of greed. "Wow, we're gonna get rich! Big brother, Grandma wants to take them all down!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen cursed, "Rich your ass!"

He grabbed Little Immortal by the neck with one hand and quickly performed hand seals with the other, speeding up to catch up with Luo Shen and Green Vine.

"My feast! My delicious feast!"

Realizing it was about to miss out on the delicacies, Little Immortal cried rivers of tears.

The group of three humans and one beast flew along the riverbank at full speed, desperately escaping.

Suddenly, a giant ape-like ferocious beast blocked their path.

The creature, covered in white fur, stood at a towering ten meters tall. Its two large feet were like small boats, and its thick flesh glimmered under the sunlight, clearly indicating its formidable defense.

At this moment, it opened its massive arms, as if welcoming them with hospitality, while disgusting drool dripped uncontrollably from its mouth.

"Ah! A White Ape Beast!"

Green Vine immediately recognized the grotesque creature in front of them and exclaimed in fright.

The group hastened their speed.

Before the White Ape Beast could close its massive arms, they barely escaped by skimming over its head.

Roar!

Seeing its prey slip away, the White Ape Beast beat its chest and let out a furious roar. A powerful shockwave rippled outward.

The countless Jingwei birds pursuing the group ignored the White Ape Beast, flying past it to continue chasing Su Chen and the others.

The White Ape Beast grabbed a larger Jingwei bird, didn't bother plucking its feathers, and shoved it directly into its mouth, chewing it as blood dripped onto the ground.

Seeing their kin devoured by the White Ape Beast, the vengeful Jingwei birds became enraged, instantly changing their attack target to the White Ape Beast.

Feeling overwhelmed by the flock's numbers, the White Ape Beast attempted to retreat, but it was too late.

Before it could fully escape, the flock swarmed it.

Under the lead bird's sharp cry, the Jingwei flock launched a final assault.

The birds attacked with beaks and claws, quickly digging small bloody holes into the White Ape Beast's body.

Unwilling to go down without a fight, the White Ape Beast swung its massive fists, crushing several Jingwei birds that were too slow to escape.

Blood sprayed everywhere, and the scene turned incredibly gruesome.

Seeing this, the larger Jingwei birds targeted the White Ape Beast's eyes.

Roar!

Caught off guard, the White Ape Beast lost one of its eyes to a sneak attack, letting out a pained roar.

Its skin turned red as it entered a berserk state, grabbing two thick dead trees to swing wildly.

Several Jingwei birds were struck down, falling to the ground with pitiful cries.

However, a few large Jingwei birds managed to blind its other eye, sacrificing two of their own in the process.

Blinded, the White Ape Beast staggered around like a drunken brute, struggling to maintain balance.

Eventually, exhausted and battered, it collapsed to the ground.

The Jingwei birds swarmed it, ending its life.

Although the Jingwei birds won, their victory came at a great cost.

The area became a bloody scene, with streams of blood forming a crimson rivulet that flowed into the lake.

Meanwhile, four miles away, on a mountain peak.

The group of three humans and one beast lay hidden in a dense patch of grass, watching the epic battle by the riverbank.

"Thank goodness Big Brother ran fast! Otherwise, I'd be in the White Ape Beast's position right now," Little Immortal said, trembling as it hugged itself with its tiny paws, clearly shaken by the Jingwei birds' ferocity.
