After all, it was not convenient to bring such a group of spirit beasts with her.
When she had settled down first, she would then let these spirit beasts come to her.
“Thank you…”
The leopard that was scolding Ah Hua just now was deep in thought before thanking him earnestly.
“You’re working for me, and I’ll pay you for it. I don’t need some handicap to work for me…” Feng Ruqing frowned. “Moreover, what has happened in this spirit beast mountain…
Ah Hua paused for a moment. “There is a family in the mainland that has been contracting the spirit beasts for generations, and the spirit beasts of the spirit beast mountain… Have always obeyed those people as well.
“Back then, because of the help of spirit beasts, that family occupied an extremely important position in the mainland, and no one in the world dared to call them out.
“Later… The head of that family became seriously ill.”
“Seriously ill?” Feng Ruqing was startled.
“Yes, I’ve heard that they are all paralyzed to this day, unable to speak or move their hands. His adopted son took over as head of the family.” Ah Hua sounded serious.
“Adopted son? Why is an adopted son handling the family… He has no biological sons or daughters?”
“No, he had a daughter once, but she went missing when she was a child, and he had a hard time finding her. I heard that the daughter he had found was stubborn, uneducated, unruly, and had paralyzed him. Initially, he wanted his daughter to marry his adopted son, but because his daughter was such a disappointment, he was embarrassed to have his adopted son marry her. Therefore, he had planned to hand over the family to him.”
These things were no secrets in Land of No Return.
But because more than twenty years had passed, only a few people left who knew about this.
“He made this decision before he was paralyzed, and I heard from someone that his daughter ran away because of a big fight with him after she knew about his decision.”
Somehow, Feng Ruqing suddenly felt bad after hearing these words from Ah Hua.
This feeling came out of nowhere, and even she was not sure why she felt that way.
It always felt like there was inexplicable anger that she wanted to vent.
“After that, his adopted son inherited his imperial beast abilities and even ruled the entire spirit beast mountain, and from then on, it was a nightmare!” Ah Hua laughed bitterly.
The spirit beasts revered freedom.
Even if they were willing to obey that family, it did not mean that they were willing to lose their freedom.
It was because they were unwilling to do so, that had… Ushered in a nightmare that they would never forget!
“How is that adopted son like now?” A cold light flashed in Feng Ruqing’s eyes.
“He’s too overbearing. He wants to be the king of spirit beasts, but we’ve never been willing to submit to someone like a slave for so many years. So, he’s tricked the strongest of those spirit beasts in some unknown way, and we, the beasts who are not strong and unwilling to obey, will be killed!”
If one lost his freedom, what was the difference between him and a puppet?
His ambition was too strong, so strong that it was frightening.
Feng Ruqing pursed her lips and remained silent; only after a moment did she ask, “That adopted son, is he now married?”
“Yes, he married his childhood friend, and I guess the kids are already grown up.”
Feng Ruqing’s eyes grew heavy as she asked again, “The last question, what’s the last name… Of that family?”
