Chapter 331: Isn't This Panda Supposed to Be Mild? Why Is It So Ferocious?
Clang!
The dagger in Song Yuting's hand was slapped away by Chen Ye.
Then, Chen Ye waved his hand, frowning slightly.
He was so used to his powerful human body that suddenly being in this "weak" panda body felt a bit awkward.
His actions just now left both Song Yuting and An Shigao frozen in place.
"Big Cat..."
Song Yuting looked at her summoned beast with a complicated expression.
Chen Ye didn't know what was going through the girl's mind, nor did he care. He simply transmitted a thought: Don't do anything stupid.
He turned his head and looked at An Shigao. In his small, dark eyes was cold indifference—as if looking at a dead man.
Then, Chen Ye began walking toward An Shigao step by step.
Seeing this, An Shigao was stunned at first, then sneered. "Song Yuting, your useless pet at least knows loyalty! Too bad, trash is still trash... Xijiangjun!"
The word "Xijiangjun" was the name of An Shigao's summoned beast.
It was a mutated rhinoceros capable of walking upright. It was huge, visibly powerful, and emitted a heavy pressure.
Upon hearing its master's command, the mutated rhino charged at Chen Ye, lowering its head to pierce the fat panda with its sharp horn.
Thud thud thud...
The mutated rhino charged swiftly, and each step shook the ground—showing just how massive it was.
"Big Cat, dodge it!"
Song Yuting cried out in alarm, her face turning pale from fright.
She had seen An Shigao's summoned beast use this exact move to ram a wild elephant into the air and kill it effortlessly!
If that same force hit her beloved Big Cat, she couldn't imagine the consequences...
But Chen Ye didn't move.
In just a moment, Xijiangjun was right in front of him.
Only then did Chen Ye raise his paw. His claws extended from his paw pads, and he swiped at Xijiangjun's left cheek.
Pshk!
Chen Ye moved too fast.
Xijiangjun didn't have time to react before its face was slashed—half of it ripped clean off by the panda's claws.
Not only that, but the sheer force behind the slap sent the massive beast flying.
In An Shigao's wide eyes, his summoned beast had barely reached the "useless panda" before it was slapped away and hurled off to the right—landing with a thud, unmoving.
Then came the pain.
An excruciating soul-deep agony exploded in his mind.
"Ah!!"
An Shigao screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground.
His eyes widened in shock and pain—unwilling to believe what had just happened.
But the searing pain left no room for denial. His teacher had warned him many times, and even his father had described it—
This was the pain of a soul tearing apart—the pain of a summoned beast dying.
Which meant—
His Xijiangjun had been killed by that "useless panda."
Just one slap.
His thick-skinned, powerful Xijiangjun... was dead?
An Shigao was absolutely terrified.
If not for the overwhelming pain confirming it, he never would've believed what just happened.
And then—
That "useless" giant panda was suddenly standing right in front of him.
An Shigao hadn't even seen how it got there.
How could such a fat creature move so fast?
"I..."
He only managed to utter one word before darkness overtook him.
Chen Ye had slapped him, too.
His head exploded.
——
The two people An Shigao had earlier sent to deal with the cyclops had just heard his miserable scream.
Confused, they dodged the cyclops's attack and glanced toward the source.
That one glance nearly gave them heart attacks.
They saw it—clear as day.
The giant panda had slapped An Shigao's head into pulp. Red and white matter flew out like a smashed watermelon.
"What the hell?"
Li Xin screamed, dropped her summoned beast, and staggered backward in panic.
Then—
She realized the panda belonging to her "dear bestie" had locked its gaze onto her.
It was still the same big panda, still adorably dopey-looking.
But for some reason, Li Xin now thought the panda looked scarier than a vengeful ghost!
"Xiangwei, run! We have to run!"
Li Xin shouted as she turned and fled.
Her four-legged lizard summoned beast obeyed her command, abandoning its fight with the cyclops to follow her.
But!
Li Xin hadn't run more than a few meters before she heard the cyclops let out a terrible wail.
She reflexively turned to look.
And saw—the cyclops that had just been battling them fiercely—now lying on the ground with one leg broken, crying out in pain.
The panda had done it with one slap.
And it didn't even bother finishing off the cyclops—it was now chasing after them.
Li Xin was scared out of her mind!
She was now convinced—this panda was no ordinary beast. It was a variant. And an extremely powerful one!
Soon after—
She heard another agonized scream.
This time, it was a voice she recognized all too well—her summoned beast, Xiangwei!
That giant panda was like a reaper—unstoppable!
"Ahhh!"
Li Xin suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.
The pain hit her soul—searing, unbearable.
She knew then—her summoned beast was dead.
She turned her head—and saw her Xiangwei being torn apart by the terrifying panda.
Seeing her summoned beast brutally killed before her eyes shattered Li Xin—both mentally and spiritually.
But—
She knew one thing: she could always get another summoned beast.
What mattered now was surviving.
Driven by a strong will to live, Li Xin gritted through the pain and struggled to her feet, stumbling forward.
Unfortunately—
At this point, unless a miracle happened, she wasn't going to make it out alive.
And of course, no miracle came.
Chen Ye easily caught up with her, broke all four of her limbs, grabbed her hair with his claws, and dragged her back—tossing her in front of Song Yuting.
Kill her.
That was the message Chen Ye passed to Song Yuting.
Then he turned away, chasing after An Shigao's cousin.
——
Song Yuting stood still, her face blank as if scared senseless.
She simply couldn't comprehend—how had her Big Cat become so ferocious?
An Shigao and Li Xin were both terrifying in her eyes. Their summoned beasts were even more so.
But before Big Cat, they were like children—incapable of even taking one hit.
It wasn't until she received Chen Ye's transmitted thought that she snapped out of it.
Watching Big Cat chase after the final enemy, Song Yuting looked dazed, not knowing what to do.
"Yuting..."
Li Xin spoke up, sobbing, "Please don't kill me."
At this moment, she looked utterly miserable.
Dragged back by her hair by Chen Ye, her scalp had split open, and blood streaked across her face. All four of her limbs had been broken and twisted into grotesque angles. She could only lie prone at Song Yuting's feet, unable even to turn over.
Song Yuting stared blankly at her pitiful best friend.
It wasn't compassion holding her back—she was simply inexperienced in dealing with such situations.
Li Xin couldn't see Song Yuting's expression from her position on the ground.
Hearing no response for a while, she assumed Song Yuting had softened, and hope for survival lit up in her heart.
So Li Xin continued pleading through her tears. "I know I was wrong. I'll never do it again. Yuting, I beg you—for the sake of our past friendship, let me go!"
These words finally brought Song Yuting back to her senses. She looked at Li Xin seriously.
Reflecting on the ordeal she had just survived—if not for Big Cat's sudden eruption of power, her fate...
Thinking of that, and seeing Li Xin's miserable state, the last trace of sympathy in Song Yuting's heart vanished completely.
Tonight's events had taught her a harsh, unforgettable lesson.
She finally realized just how terrifying human malice could be—worse than demons in hell.
"Li Xin, where's the Tear of the Ocean I gave you?"
Song Yuting's tone was unnervingly calm. "That gem was my coming-of-age gift from my father. I cherished it. I planned to use it in exchange for your protection, but you failed me and even tried to harm me... So, you should return it."
"I'm sorry, Yuting. I—I was just momentarily confused, misled by An Shigao..." Li Xin knew how feeble her excuse sounded. She quickly added, "The Tear of the Ocean is in my chest pocket. I... I can't move. Yuting, you'll have to take it yourself."
Hearing this, Song Yuting was silent for a moment. She walked behind Li Xin, turned her over, and reached into the chest pocket, retrieving the Tear of the Ocean.
Though Li Xin cooperated the whole time and made no sudden moves, Song Yuting remained wary.
Clearly, she had grown from tonight's events.
Though not a complete transformation, she was no longer the naive, innocent girl she had once been.
Holding the gem, Song Yuting sighed and slipped it into her pocket.
"Yuting, could you spare my life?" Li Xin asked again, enduring the pain.
Song Yuting didn't reply—she only stared at her calmly.
Seeing this, Li Xin immediately began pleading again. "Yuting, you know my situation. My dad's in jail, and my brother had his legs broken. He's still bedridden. Our whole family depends on me. If I don't make it back, no one can take care of him—he'll starve."
"Yuting, I can't die here. I beg you, for the sake of our past, spare me just this once... I swear I'll never speak a word of what happened tonight."
Song Yuting knew what Li Xin said was mostly true.
It was precisely because she knew Li Xin's family hardships and sympathized with her that she had sought her out, offering the Tear of the Ocean in exchange for help.
In Song Yuting's eyes, she had been helping Li Xin.
That gem was valuable enough to solve most of her family's problems.
She never expected her kindness would be thrown aside—and even repaid with a plot to kill her.
That thought still sent chills down her spine.
Just then—
Chen Ye returned from hunting down An Shigao's cousin.
From his blood-soaked appearance, it was clear the man hadn't escaped.
"Big Cat!"
Song Yuting suddenly rushed into Chen Ye's arms and broke down crying.
Tonight's ordeal had scarred her deeply and terrified her to the core.
Her tears were partly from fear—and partly from grief.
Chen Ye let her cry against his chest, casting a calm glance at the wounded Li Xin.
Li Xin dared not meet his gaze and quickly turned away.
Seeing she was still alive, Chen Ye remained expressionless but sighed inwardly.
He was initially a little disappointed, but sensing the overwhelming emotions in Song Yuting's heart, he didn't press her.
As long as she had truly learned the lesson tonight, that was enough.
After crying for a full minute, Song Yuting finally pulled away from his embrace.
"Big Cat, I'm sorry... I almost dragged you into this."
She wiped her tears as she spoke.
Chen Ye sent her a soothing thought: It's okay.
Song Yuting added, "I didn't kill her because people like that disgust me. Killing her would dirty my hands."
Upon hearing this—
Li Xin, lying on the ground, suddenly widened her eyes and began begging again.
"Yuting! Yuting... I really know I was wrong. Please spare me. Just this once! I swear from now on I'll—"
Song Yuting ignored her and spoke to Chen Ye instead. "Big Cat, there's still one cyclops alive over there. Let it do the job."
There had been two cyclopes earlier.
One had been killed by An Shigao's cousin.
The other had its leg broken by Chen Ye and was still wailing on the ground.
Hearing this, Chen Ye gave her an approving look.
He knew Song Yuting was still a bit timid and didn't have the courage to kill. But being able to say that showed real growth.
A huge change!
Li Xin, however, was stunned.
When she saw Chen Ye actually dragging her toward the cyclops, she finally broke down and began sobbing hysterically.
No matter how she begged, Song Yuting remained silent, lips pressed together.
Seeing her pleas fail, Li Xin suddenly snapped—her expression twisted with venomous hatred.
"Song Yuting, you fake, two-faced bitch! You had such a powerful summoned beast all along and came to me just to trick me?! You're a liar! You'll die a horrible death!!"
"There are tons of people waiting for the Song family to fall—you won't live long!!"
But then—
The curses turned into screams.
Chen Ye had thrown her in front of the cyclops.
The creature, huge but not very smart, didn't understand what was going on. But when food was delivered to its mouth, it certainly didn't refuse.
Time to take revenge for its broken leg.
The cyclops grabbed Li Xin in both hands, opened its bloody maw, and shoved her inside.
Crunch! Crunch!
The chewing sounds were disturbingly clear.
Blood poured from its mouth in rivers.
Li Xin quickly fell silent...
And once the cyclops finished its meal, Chen Ye sent it on its way, too.
To humans, cyclopes were just experience mobs.
Pshk!
Chen Ye gave it a clean finish—a single swipe ending its life.
And as the cyclops died, two beams of white light emerged from its corpse and flew into Chen Ye and Song Yuting's bodies.
