They were in the far north, and as a member of the Tall family, Quinley knew she had to remain vigilant when confronted by someone of such immense power.
“This is Mr. Yuven. He’s Jared’s friend,” Viola quickly explained, afraid she would misunderstand. Nonetheless, she chose not to divulge Yuven’s true identity. It was better for fewer people to be aware of who he was.
After learning that he was Jared’s friend, Quinley, Cloud, and the like relaxed. Right then, Feenix approached him and said gallantly, “I can’t believe King Yuven is my master’s friend. This is great!”
Yuven was taken aback that Feenix recognized him. He scrutinized her and asked, “Miss, have we met before? How do you know my identity?”
He was puzzled since he didn’t exude any beast race aura. He wondered how Feenix knew he was the king of the beast race. Feenix grinned and replied, “Of course we have. In fact, we’ve known each other for some time.”
Yuven was utterly bewildered by this revelation. He continued to scrutinize Feenix, but he still couldn’t recognize her. With an awkward smile, he admitted, “Miss, I’m truly sorry, but I can’t recall our previous encounter.”
“Ah, it’s quite understandable that you can’t recognize me. However, you’ll certainly remember me once I change my form,” Feenix said before transforming into a magnificent phoenix with blazing wings.
Yuven exclaimed in surprise, “Feenix, it’s you?” Feenix transformed back into human form and smiled. “Do you recognize me now?”
“Yes, I do.” Yuven nodded. “Ms. Feenix, why are you in this state? You can’t even defeat a mere Body Fusion Realm cultivator.”
He was perplexed by Feenix’s apparent weakness, considering her status as a celestial beast. “Oh, it’s a lengthy tale. I’ll share everything when we have the opportunity. By the way, how did you come to know my master?” Feenix asked with curiosity.
Jared was a nobody in the Ethereal Realm, so she couldn’t believe he knew someone like Yuven. Yuven chose not to respond to her question. Jared’s identity as the overlord of the Dragon. Sect was a closely guarded secret, and he couldn’t disclose it without Jared’s consent.
Instead, he asked, “Ms. Feenix, why do you address Jared as ‘Master’? Do you have a new master now?”
Feenix was about to explain when Viola shouted, “That man is going to escape!”
Viola noticed Phaethon struggling to rise before attempting to make a hasty exit. After being sent flying by Yuven’s powerful slap, he realized he was no match for Yuven and sought to flee while he remained unnoticed.
He knew he couldn’t contend with Yuven’s strength. Seeing that, Yuven let out an icy snort and leaped to his feet, stopping Phaethon’s escape. He grabbed Phaethon’s collar and delivered another slap.
“F*ck! How dare you escape after bullying Mr. Chance?” Phaethon’s teeth clattered to the ground due to the force of the slap, but he wasn’t in immediate danger. Yuven intentionally spared his life so Jared could teach him a lesson personally.
After Yuven had Phaethon under control, Feenix stepped forward and delivered a few resounding slaps to Phaethon. His earlier arrogance had irked her, and she was determined to teach him a lesson.
Viola, Quinley, and Aislin also went over to beat Phaethon up. He ended up suffering in their hands, groaning in pain.
At the sight of their ferocious sides, Cloud no longer envied Jared. If Jared makes them upset, will they do this to him, too?
