Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 660 - 58: Gathering of All Beasts

All things in Baichuan City were finally getting back on track, this human refuge slowly reverting to the bustling élan of a thriving metropolis.

Li Xiaoyu didn't worry too much. She didn't ask about the things Bai Shuang didn't tell her. Knowing things that couldn't be changed might render all actions futile and instead affect her own strategies.

In the days that followed, Bai Shuang took Li Xiaoyu to many places. The two hours every evening spent with Li Xiaoyu took on a somewhat fantastical hue.

The nineteen-year-old young girl and the at least several hundred years old older girl were increasingly finding favor in each other's eyes.

Once Bai Shuang was willing to talk, her guidance on Li Xiaoyu's cooking became even more effortless, and Li Xiaoyu quickly improved her culinary skills, sometimes even producing tastes that satisfied Bai Shuang with a few signature dishes.

Li Xiaoyu was overjoyed, eagerly anticipating Tang Xian's next return.

...

The mining district, Holy Mountain.

The Endless Turtle's mutterings about the Chaos having fled and the Qiongqi perished took about two weeks to be conveyed.

The main reason for this was that after Qiongqi left the Holy Mountain, it vanished without a trace. It was only when the Xuan Bird came to inquire on the judge's order that they learned of both Chaos and Qiongqi's deaths.

The strongest of the four fiendish beasts of the Wan Beast Court had already lost three.

This matter caught the attention of the entire Wan Beast Court.

Not only the group of monkeys from the Holy Mountain, but also the humans within the forbidden lands were concerned.

In the grand hall of the forbidden lands on Holy Mountain, a roundtable meeting was held where several humans discussed matters with the judges from the Wan Beast Court.

"Can't the Endless Turtle shed any light on the enemy?"

The people clad uniformly in grey robes were indistinguishable, and one could only tell them apart by their voices. The speaker was young, male, and had a magnetic voice that instinctively made one think of a meticulous member of the Analysis Faction.

"Hmph, that old bastard is almost finished, we need to figure out how to create another," the middle-aged man's voice was a bit more rugged.

"Cough cough... These are divine beasts, not so easy to come by another. We must take good care of it, there's only one turtle in the pond, and now it's a bit senile. We can't let it be stolen," the elder seemed to still have some sentiment for the old turtle.

The judge said nothing, its massive form resembling a giant.

Sitting beside it, also silent, one could tell from the delicate fingers that it was a woman.

The woman's fingers gently tapped on the table, listening to the unproductive conversation among the people, and then said:

"If I'm not mistaken, it might be the same group that hunted the source of the plague and the Ash Dragon. According to the ancient primates who escaped from Nether Valley in the northwest, they saw humans near Nether Valley."

As she saw the people around her quiet down and grow reflective, the woman continued:

"Among the humans in the Pyramid, there are occasionally one or two mutants, but they definitely cannot match up against Orange-class creatures. Although this human didn't ride a dragon, I still find it hard to believe there's another one like him," she said.

"So what's your point?" asked the young man.

"We've repeatedly sent formidable creatures to kill this human, each time stronger than the last. The Taotian is already the demon overlord of the Chaos Beast Realm, and the Qiongqi repeatedly broke through in the Wan Beast Prison, with its values surpassing Taotian; Chaos need not be elaborated on, as it could almost become any creature from the Wan Beast Realm given the specific time. Under such circumstances, yet they were dealt with one by one. This means we underestimated the enemy's strength."

"But according to feedback from some Wan Beasts in the Yuepela Plains, the dragon's strength shouldn't surpass that of Taotian," mentioned the young man.

"I've already said, it's not about the dragon. The focus is on the human," she reiterated.

"Humans can't compete against Orange-class creatures. That human must have a very special bloodline, and perhaps..."

The woman paused slightly, then amended her statement:

"In any case, he might have a horrifying growth potential like Taotian. Our strategy was flawed because we didn't properly assess our opponent, leading to our unintentionally nurturing a powerful monster."

"For hundreds of years, no creature has threatened the court, maybe that human is indeed powerful, but not to the extent you're saying," the young man retorted.

The woman didn't respond, but the elder said:

"Cough cough... those puppet-like creatures trapped in the Pyramid may eventually be devoured, but we cannot deny they have numerous genetic sequences. They may indeed create an ultimate weapon capable of rivaling the Wan Beasts."

"Then let's eliminate him," the rugged middle-aged man said.

"But who to send this time? The Taowu isn't as strong as the previous three. Could it be the Xuan Bird?" the young man questioned.

The woman shook her head, saying:

"If you still can't properly assess the enemy and continue to send only a part of our forces, then what you're doing is continuing to feed that monster. I repeat, the enemy has strong growth potential, which may far exceed our expectations, perhaps akin to the ones from hundreds of years ago..."

[Stop!]

The crowd suddenly fell silent because the judge, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

These humans seemed to understand the language of the Wan Beasts, just like Tang Xian.

"What does the judge think?"
