King of Beasts

Chapter 261: The Legend of the Ruins

Divine Tree Continent, Qingyu.Unlike the scattered super cities and ordinary cities across the Divine Tree Continent, Qingyu is considered the most central and prosperous area of the continent, with a level 8 Plantmaster presiding over it.

Its status is roughly equivalent to the imperial capital of the Beast Taming Empire on the Star-Moon Continent.

The Tree King’s ruins are located within Qingyu.

After deciding to challenge the Tree King’s ruins, the legendary City Lord Ye Ying of Tree Realm City and the legendary City Lord Tian Qianmo of Abundance City, along with their disciples, planned to bring them to Qingyu to broaden their horizons and undergo training.

Above the blue sky and sea, a green flying vessel sped through the air.

Onboard, City Lord Ye, City Lord Tian, Lu Ran, and Gu Yu had already set off.

This flying vessel, in fact, was City Lord Tian’s plant pet, a designated transport pet, ideal for carrying people. Lu Ran felt it was even more comfortable and stable than an airplane.

After spending some time in the small cabin on the flying vessel, Lu Ran couldn’t sit still and went to visit his city lord master.

“Master.”

“Ran’er, what’s the matter?”

“Master, just call me Lu Ran,” Lu Ran said bitterly. “Being called Ran’er sounds strange.”

“What!” City Lord Ye was puzzled, not understanding what was strange about it.

“Are you rejecting me?” She sensed Lu Ran’s distance from the nickname.

“How could that be, master? It’s just that I’m simply not used to it. It’s quite different from our customs. Even if you called me ‘grandson,’ it would be more comfortable than this,” Lu Ran said helplessly, looking at the elderly woman before him.

Looking at her, he suddenly thought of his grandmother, the woman who always cooked beast milk for him and cared for him in every way.

Honestly, Lu Ran felt quite lucky. Both his sect leader master and city lord master treated their disciples well. Although he had just become a disciple, the former went to great lengths to help him shape his soul, while the latter, understanding Lu Ran’s needs, immediately set out to visit other legendary families to seek an awakening opportunity for him.

“Alright then, if you’re not comfortable with it, forget it. I only called you that because I heard my senior sister using it for her disciple.”

City Lord Ye waved her hand and said, “Is there something you need? You’ve just broken through to level 3. Instead of stabilizing your realm and developing your abilities, why do I always see you wandering around?”

Lu Ran murmured in his heart; he wanted to stabilize his realm, but he didn’t have a Beast Taming Space to train in. There was no need to stabilize anything.

In fact, in a few days, his dark crow would reach level 40, and he would be able to enter the next breakthrough secret realm for a perfect breakthrough.

“Master, I heard that you started as a beastmaster and later switched to Plant Taming.”

“There’s a rumor outside that you’ve always wanted to take on a beastmaster disciple to pass down your family’s legacy. Is that true?”

City Lord Ye was taken aback, then sighed and said, “It’s not just a rumor outside. Did your Martial Aunt Tian tell you as well?”

“Yeah…”

“Indeed, I had that thought in my early years. In my youth, due to some changes, I was the only one left in my family. I should have passed down my family’s legacy, but in the end, I chose Plant Taming.” ℞

“After becoming a legend, just as the rumors say, I had the idea of taking on a beastmaster disciple to pass down my family’s skills.”

“But I didn’t want to take on a disciple lightly, and I never found a suitable candidate, so this matter was delayed.”

“Until you appeared. Initially, when I saw your incredible potential as a beastmaster, I was indeed tempted. But after thinking it over carefully, I decided against it.”

“You come from the Beast Taming Hall, and you’ve likely encountered all kinds of divine beast taming skills. My family’s beast taming skills aren’t that impressive. Forcing you to learn and inherit them would be a waste of your energy and delay your proper training.”

“Let’s just forget about it.” City Lord Ye shook her head.

“Master, unless you plan to accept another disciple, please pass them down to me.” Lu Ran said, “Regardless of whether this skill is useful to me, as your disciple, I should do something.”

“Even if I’m not suited to learn it, perhaps one day, when I take on a disciple, I can pass it down for you.”

Lu Ran wasn’t actually interested in the beast taming skills of his city lord master’s family. Firstly, he couldn’t really learn them. Secondly, even if he could, the rare beast taming skills collected by the Xia Country Re
