"Wha … What?"
Looking at the Quaking Beast that was retreating like a frightened puppy, Xue Qingwei and the other Outsiders all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They could not believe their eyes.
Because in front of them, Xue Qingwei's Quaking Beast was still in a berserk state. Its eyes were still scarlet red, filled with brutality and killing intent. The berserk aura on its body was monstrous, sweeping through the entire area, causing everyone to tremble.
As everyone knew, the Earthshaking Beast that had entered a berserk state was known to not recognize its own kin and was extremely violent. At this time, not to mention making this berserk Earthshaking Beast retreat, it was extremely difficult to kill it.
But now, this Earth Quaking Beast, which was in a state of madness, was actually afraid. Moreover, looking at its appearance, it was astonishingly terrified to the extreme. Its huge body tightly curled into a ball in the distance, like a frightened and pitiful quail, as it trembled non-stop.
If they had not seen all of this with their own eyes, they would not have believed it to be true.
"How could …!"
Xue Qingwei's beautiful face immediately paled, and she suddenly cried out involuntarily. She had lost her composure, and compared to the others, the disbelief and shock on her face was even more intense. Because no one present knew more about this Quaking Beast than she did.
This Quaking Beast was not an ordinary Quaking Beast. The person who gave it to her said that this Quaking Beast was the leader of the Quaking Beast race, and its strength far surpassed that of ordinary Quaking Beasts.
And naturally, once it entered a berserk state, this Quaking Beast would be even more berserk than ordinary Quaking Beasts, even more terrifying, and even more fatal.
So, at this moment, when she saw this Quaking Beast of the leader race in a berserk state being so inexplicably terrified, the shock in her heart could not be any greater, far surpassing that of the others.
"My Quaking Beast, why, why is it so terrified?" Looking at the trembling Quaking Beast in the distance, Xue Qingwei could not help but have this incomparably huge question in her mind. Then, this huge question lingered in her heart, causing her to be unable to get rid of it.
She froze for a moment!
"Could it be because of this human Xiao Fan?" Xue Qingwei looked at Xiao Fan and the other two who were quietly standing in the middle of the square. An unprecedented thought suddenly emerged in her mind. After which, she used a voice that only she could hear and subconsciously muttered to herself.
Under the huge foot of this berserk Quaking Beast, everyone was paralyzed on the ground in fear, and then welcomed death with incomparable despair. Only Xiao Fan and the other three stood silently, as if they did not care about the Quaking Beast's trampling, and did not fear of death, and they seemed to be particularly special.
Afterwards!
The Ground Quaking Beast suddenly retreated in fear without any warning. It was extremely terrified. Although it was not clear why the Ground Quaking Beast retreated in fear, if it was connected to the fact that Xiao Fan and the other two were calmly standing there, it was not impossible that the Ground Quaking Beast retreated in fear because of Xiao Fan and the other two.
"Could, could it be him? Or perhaps it was one of the three of them? "
In a split second, Xue Qingwei's consciousness started to surge with raging waves. Following that, her towering chest heaved up and down violently, as her breathing became hurried, panting heavily. She stared intently at Xiao Fan and the other two, trying to find out if the Quaking Beast's sudden retreat had anything to do with Xiao Fan and the other two.
Just at this moment!
Xiao Fan, who was in the middle of the field, raised his head and looked calmly at the direction where Xue Qingwei and the rest of the Great Rainbow City's higher management were at. He then turned around slowly and carried the Akira Yuki, bringing Lime along as he walked towards the Quaking Beast, intending to return to the pavilion on the Quaking Beast's back, and continue their journey towards Sky Cloud City.
Following Xiao Fan's departure, Xue Qingwei's gaze was fixed intently on Xiao Fan and the other two's backs. At the same time, she was also observing the Quaking Beast's reaction.
She wanted to see if Xiao Fan and the other two would have any special reaction towards the Quaking Beast when they came into direct contact with the Quaking Beast.
If there was any special reaction, then it would mean that the Quaking Beast's retreat had something to do with Xiao Fan and the other two. If there was no special reaction, then Xiao Fan and the other two's suspicions could be temporarily eliminated and they would continue to observe.
Under Xue Qingwei's unblinking gaze, Xiao Fan finally arrived in front of the Quaking Beast!
After that, something which made Xue Qingwei feel regretful and disappointed happened. When Xiao Fan and the other two walked to the front of the Quaking Beast, the Quaking Beast had already recovered from its frenzied state and the terror in its eyes was no longer there. Its huge body stood there as calm as before, no different from its usual state.
When Xiao Fan and the other two arrived, it didn't have any strange reaction at all!
Following that, Xiao Fan carried the Akira Yuki and brought Lime with him as he leapt up and directly arrived at the pavilion on the Quaking Beast's back. He sat down leisurely and waited for them to set off.
Looking at this scene, not knowing why, Xue Qingwei's chest suddenly stopped rising and falling violently and her breathing was no longer hurried as she gradually calmed down.
"The Quaking Beast's reaction is enough to explain everything. It seems like I'm overthinking it!" Xue Qingwei nodded slightly and then muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear.
After muttering to herself, Xue Qingwei withdrew her gaze from Xiao Fan and the other two's and calmed her emotions. Then, she turned around and smiled apologetically as she conversed with the higher-ups of Da Hong City to express her apologies.
In response to Xue Qingwei's apology, the higher-ups of Da Hong City responded one after another, saying that Xue Qingwei didn't need to blame herself. This was because although Xue Qingwei's Quaking Beast had suddenly gone berserk, it didn't cause any casualties or damage. Therefore, this was a false alarm and a small matter that wasn't worth mentioning.
Afterwards, the conversation between Xue Qingwei and the upper echelons of Great Rainbow City became even more amiable. Everyone explained with smiles on their faces. The atmosphere in the air was harmonious to the extreme.
However!
At this moment, perhaps because Xue Qingwei was absent-minded and frightened by the Quaking Beast's madness, she had completely forgotten and neglected one thing.
The Quaking Beast was her mount and logically speaking, it should only listen to her orders. In a situation where she didn't give any orders, anyone who dared to come within a hundred meters of the Quaking Beast would be attacked violently by the Quaking Beast, let alone get on its back.
Therefore, here came the problem. She didn't give any orders to the Quaking Beast, so how did Xiao Fan and the other two's calmly get on the Quaking Beast's back?
At the same time, the higher-ups of Da Hong City hadn't considered this problem. However, there was an objective reason why they hadn't considered it.
This was because when Xue Qingwei had arrived at Da Hong City, they had all seen that Xiao Fan and the other two's and Xue Qingwei's ride on the Quaking Beast. Xue Qingwei was famous for her coldness and aloofness. If one wanted to travel with Xue Qingwei and ride on her Quaking Beast, they must have an extremely close relationship.
Therefore, since Xiao Fan and the other two's were able to ride on Xue Qingwei's mount, the Quaking Beast with Xue Qingwei, what else was there to say about their relationship?
Moreover, since they were close, Xue Qingwei must have given the Quaking Beast an order beforehand to make the Quaking Beast treat Xiao Fan as one of its own that it couldn't attack.
At present, Xiao Fan and the other two's calmly got on the Quaking Beast's back and didn't attract any violent attacks from the Quaking Beast. Naturally, it was a matter of course.
Unfortunately, they didn't know what the relationship between Xue Qingwei and Xiao Fan was. It was even more impossible for Xue Qingwei to give her Quaking Beast an order to treat Xiao Fan and the other two's as one of her own when she left the Quaking Beast.
Because of these errors in information, a 'beautiful' misunderstanding was formed.
This' beautiful 'misunderstanding caused everyone present to overlook this problem. As for what the Quaking Beast was afraid of and who it was afraid of, their minds were still blank. They were unable to find the real answer.
.....
The matter of the Quaking Beast going berserk came to an end very quickly. Xue Qingwei and Da Rainbow City's higher management chatted for another hour before she finally got up and returned to the Quaking Beast's back. Following that, she led Xiao Fan, Snow Red and the rest out of Da Rainbow City and continued their journey through the night, heading towards Sky Cloud City.
As the distance between Da Rainbow City and Sky Cloud City wasn't too far and the group was about to reach their destination, so Xue Qingwei finally gave up on persuading Snow Red as she turned silent. Sitting on the Quaking Beast's huge head, she didn't move at all, like a clay statue, faintly thinking about her own worries.
Snow Red saw Xue Qingwei remaining silent as she sighed softly in her heart. She then went up and sat beside Xue Qingwei. The two sisters sat on the Quaking Beast's head as they gazed at the gradually appearing white horizon, leaning against each other as the scene was filled with warmth.
Xiao Fan continued to sit there peacefully, occasionally answering Lime's questions about the medicinal pills, patiently teaching her. The Akira Yuki in his arms was still sleeping like a kitten as its sparkling saliva stained Xiao Fan's lapel.
Xue Ran and the other Snow Yan people's youngsters had yet to regain their senses from the shocking scene of the Quaking Beast going berserk. All of them sat there with their bodies stiff and it was rare for them to be so quiet.
Time, ticked by bit by bit!
After the Quaking Beast ran wildly for another two hours, the boundless sky finally started to turn white. The twelve suns of the Central imperial realm started to transform from moons to suns as rays of gentle radiance filled the entire world. The horizon in the distance also started to reveal itself gradually.
On the horizon that gradually appeared, an incomparably large city that almost occupied the entire horizon slowly appeared in everyone's line of sight.
