I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 124 Where heroes go, I go!

Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Meng Tianxiang brought Xue Youyou here.

Xue Youyou didn't show much surprise, after all, Meng Yanqing had said that this was the headquarters of the Moon Orchid Pet Alliance.

She had only caught a glimpse of it from afar when she first arrived in Beast City, and today was the first time she had seen this iconic building of Beast City up close.

The tower gleamed with a cold, deep metallic luster. Looking up, the spire was hidden in a thin layer of clouds. It was hard to tell whether it was taller or shorter than the level 64 Snow Maiden of the Divine Era.

As if guessing Xue Youyou's thoughts, Meng Tianxiang took the initiative to say, "The Ten Thousand Beasts Tower is ten thousand meters tall, which should be much taller than your peculiar snow maiden, right?"

Xue Youyou nodded upon hearing this.

At 10,000 meters, that's about the height of three Yuki-onna from the Age of Gods stacked on top of each other.

It seems that only after the Yuki-onna of the Divine Era evolves into her ultimate form will she be able to surpass this tower in size.

However, judging from the current progress, evolving to the ultimate form is still a long way off.

Like the Queen Ant who just defeated Hokushin Peak, the experience bar of the Yuki-onna from Kamishiro barely budged. She still needs to find another Super Ultimate level to fight.

This one is just right right now.

Xue Youyou glared at Meng Tianxiang with an unfriendly expression, deliberately making a soft metallic clanging sound as she pulled on the handcuffs on her wrists, and asked, "So, what exactly does this mean?"

Seeing that Xue Youyou finally couldn't hold back any longer, Meng Tianxiang couldn't help but chuckle: "I've seen you play like this with my granddaughter before, and I thought you would like this kind of thing."

Xue Youyou: "..."

Before... wasn't that when we were still at Qiyun Residence?

Sure enough, this old man was the ultimate stalker. No, he should be called a stalker plus a voyeur.

When they weren't very familiar with each other, she would at least put on an act in front of her. But now that they're more familiar, she's too lazy to even pretend anymore and just adopts a "yes, I did spy on you, so what?" attitude.

Besides, how can those be the same? She was paying off her debts back then.

Xue Youyou's eyes twitched slightly, her expression saying—Are you kidding me?

Meng Tianxiang coughed lightly, slightly suppressing her smile, and said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, listen to me. These handcuffs are not a humiliation, but an honor."

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou was completely dumbfounded: "Glory?"

"In the ancient records of Yuelan, there once existed a little-known dark age—an era in which pet beasts ruled over humans."

Meng Tianxiang's tone gradually turned somber: "Back then, there were no so-called beast tamers. Humans were forcibly shackled from birth to highlight their lowly status as emergency food."

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts that you see now was originally built by the ancestors of Yuelan with their own blood and tears for the emperor's pet beasts at that time, symbolizing the absolute rule of the pet beasts over humans."

"Just when humanity was plunged into its darkest, most desperate moment, there was..."

Xue Youyou couldn't help but interrupt, "Are you trying to say that later a hero appeared, probably the so-called first Beast Tamer of Yuelan Prefecture, who defeated the imperial beast that ruled Yuelan, thus completely ending the dark age of beasts ruling humans?"

Meng Tianxiang was taken aback upon hearing this, and exclaimed in shock, "Yes...yes, this is a closely guarded secret. I haven't even started explaining yet, how did you know?"

Xue Youyou looked at her with an expression as if she were an idiot: "Do you think I wouldn't have guessed such a clichéd plot twist?"

"So, what does this have to do with you handcuffing me with this thing?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"And how much longer are we going to stand at the door?"

In just a short while, Xue Youyou clearly sensed that many Alliance staff members coming in and out were glancing at the two of them as if they were monkeys.

Faced with Xue Youyou's barrage of questions, Meng Tianxiang calmly replied, "Legend has it that when that hero first entered the Tower of Ten Thousand Beasts and challenged the Emperor's Beast at the top, he was wearing the same kind of shackles as these silver beast-patterned handcuffs."

Before Xue Youyou could speak again, Meng Tianxiang patted her shoulder meaningfully and said in a low voice, "The alliance leader is in decline; you should strive to improve!"

Xue Youyou: "?"

Under Xue Youyou's strange gaze, Meng Tianxiang swiped her card to open the door, and said slowly, "Actually, I usually fly directly up here and rarely use the main entrance."

"This is the first time I've brought you here today. It was a sudden impulse, and it reminded me of what my mother said when she first brought me here when she was still alive—"

"Enter the door the way heroes do."

"I said the same thing to my daughter. It's just a pity that my short-lived daughter didn't carry on this tradition."

"Now, take this opportunity to try and replicate it yourself, and see if you can get a bit of the hero's spirit."

Xue Youyou: "?"

What does this mean? Does it mean they're raising her like a daughter?

Meeting Meng Tianxiang's expectant gaze, Xue Youyou's lips twitched. In the end, she still wore the silver beast-patterned handcuffs, stepped over the threshold, and strode into the first floor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower.

What more can I say—wherever the hero goes, she goes!

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing that Xue Youyou was so understanding, Meng Tianxiang felt indescribably gratified.

Unlike her unfilial granddaughter, who refused to come even when she was dragged along, and said with a look of disgust that she was shameful.

Indeed, only heroes truly understand heroes.

"What about these handcuffs?" Xue Youyou reminded her.

Now that the replica is finished, it's time to untie her, right? We can't really keep her handcuffed like this forever.

Meng Tianxiang added unhurriedly, "Actually, that hero wore these shackles all the way from the bottom of the tower to the top..."

"roll……"

Under Xue Youyou's almost murderous gaze, Meng Tianxiang regretfully retrieved her family's heirloom handcuffs.

After putting away the handcuffs, Meng Tianxiang led Xue Youyou into the elevator not far away.

"I'll make it short."

As Meng Tianxiang pressed the button, she said seriously, "This time, it's actually the alliance leader, Lord Xinglan Bao Yunxing, who personally requested to see you. You should be quite familiar with this person; she's the mother of Bao Xiaoxing, the one who pulled you along to do the commentary before."

Xue Youyou: "!"

So that guy wasn't bragging after all; he really did have a bedrock backing?

However, she disagreed with Meng Tianxiang's words.

Xue Youyou looked confused and said, "This is unfamiliar to me!"

"It's okay if you're a stranger. Just remember that this meeting is both a challenge and an opportunity for you, so be sure to seize it."

Meng Tianxiang quickly instructed: "Although Bao Yunxing is very powerful, based on my years of observation, she is completely one-track-minded when it comes to managing people. She only knows one trick – to hit someone with a stick and then give them a sweet treat."

"When you two meet later, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll be the first to get a few blows. All you have to do is bear with it for now; the sweet treat will follow."

"As long as you do as I say, I guarantee you'll be fine, and you might even get a lot of gold coins from her."

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou's eyes lit up slightly. She thought to herself that Meng Tianxiang was really kind; this old woman was genuinely teaching her the Burning Technique.

Seeing Xue Youyou nod in agreement, Meng Tianxiang didn't say anything more. She swiped Xue Youyou's ID card and pressed the button to go directly to the top of the two-thousand-story tower for her.

Then, before the elevator doors closed, she nimbly slipped out.

Xue asked softly, "Aren't you going up?"

"I'm used to walking on empty streets, so I don't take the elevator anymore."

As soon as Meng Tianxiang finished speaking, the elevator doors slowly closed.

Immediately afterwards, a distinct feeling of weightlessness came from beneath her feet, and the elevator began to rise steadily. Xue Youyou watched as the numbers on the display screen slowly increased in size.

one two three……

Ding--!

The elevator stopped, and as soon as the doors opened, a staff member walked in, politely greeted Xue Youyou, and then casually pressed the button for the 64th floor.

The elevator then continued to ascend.

Three...four...

Ding--!

The elevator stopped again. This time, two staff members entered one after the other and pressed the buttons for the 36th and 108th floors respectively.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Xue Youyou's heart.

The elevator continued to ascend.

Four...five...six...

Ding--!

Xue Youyou: "?!"

Buhao! What floor did Meng Tianxiang just mention?

Xue Youyou swallowed hard, staring intently at the two-thousand-layer button that was glowing with a faint blue light.

I was so scared I cried!
