Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future
Chapter 422 - 422 The Possessed Li Siyu

422 The Possessed Li Siyu

“Did you replace his scent?” Shen Fei asked.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl let out a few cries as it let Shen Fei know that it had found Li Siyu.

“Take me there,” Shen Fei said to the Flame Owl and leaped onto its back. The Flame Owl then flapped its wings and flew into the distance.

Li Siyu was still standing stock still in the forbidden area of the tunnel passage. The skull mark was still on his head. His eyes were filled with tears and his lips were moving as if he was saying something, but no one would be able to hear him.

Shen Fei rode his Flame Owl quickly toward Li Siyu.

“Li Siyu!” Shen Fei shouted. However, Li Siyu did not react at all as he stood still with a dazed expression. Shen Fei jumped down from the Flame Owl. He glanced at Li Siyu’s foot and saw a chain around his ankle and a skull mark on his head.

“Could this skull be suppressing his will?” Shen Fei’s expression turned serious and he said, “Li Siyu, I’m here to save you.”

Shen Fei squatted down and tried to undo the shackles on his feet. However, he heard a violent explosion before he could touch it.

Boom! The entire mountain trembled.

Shen Fei then noticed something odd about the stone slab under Li Siyu’s feet. The stone slab, which had previously seemed ordinary, started emitting a dazzling light. Mysterious patterns appeared one after another on the stone slab. The same patterns then floated around Li Siyu.

“Hmm?” Shen Fei was stunned by the phenomenon, but before he could react, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the stone slab and entered Li Siyu’s body. It then disappeared without a trace.

Then, Li Siyu began to transform. His body surged with a strange and evil aura which made Shen Fei’s hair stand on end. His skin turned dark gold and shone with a metallic luster. Three horns grew from his forehead. His right eye glowed with purple light, and his left eye became pitch black. His facial features looked like they were carved from marble; he was incredibly handsome despite his demonic abnormalities.

Li Siyu’s figure could be said to be a study of perfect proportions. He was 176 centimeters tall, with wide shoulders and a narrow waist, and his body made an ordinary gray robe look stylish on him. His long black hair, despite covering half his face, seemed to enhance his facial features and gave him a mysterious charm. His jawline was sharp and defined, and exuded an allure that would captivate anyone.

Li Siyu’s eyes then widened and he cried out in surprise, “You!”

He glared intensely at Shen Fei, and Shen Fei froze in place. He stared at Li Siyu in shock. He could never have predicted that Li Siyu could change so much. The image of the weak scholar from before was gone, and in its place was a peerlessly handsome man.

However, Li Siyu’s eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly coughed up blood as his body trembled. Strange cracking noises came from his body. It sounded almost like his body was about to shatter.

“What’s going on?” Shen Fei questioned with a frown.

In the next moment, Li Siyu’s body suddenly emitted a terrifying killing intent which permeated the entire cave. The Flame Owl, with fearful eyes, fell to the ground and started shivering. It sensed a great danger coming from the power that had just entered Li Siyu’s body.

There were two opposing forces inside Li Siyu’s body at this moment. One was a black energy, which may have been left there by an exotic beast. The other was a white energy, which was Li Siyu’s own soul power.

These two forces continued to clash dangerously inside his body, and neither of them were letting up.

However, the white energy was eventually overpowered and destroyed by the black energy. The black energy then entered Li Siyu’s mind.

“Argh!” Li Siyu screamed. His eyes were filled with bloodthirst, and his entire body was overflowing with a terrifying killing intent. The murderous aura gathered around Li Siyu and formed a vortex around him.

Li Siyu screamed again, and his monstrous roar spread throughout the entire cave. At this moment, Li Siyu looked even more like a demon, one that had just crawled out of the deepest pit of hell.

He supported himself with both hands as he finally steadied himself.

“Keke…” Then, Li Siyu let out a sharp and hoarse cackle. He raised his head and stared at Shen Fei. “Tsk tsk, brat, we meet again.”

“Li Siyu, is it really you?” Shen Fei looked at Li Siyu with clear shock.

“Brat, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I didn’t expect you to be able to make it this far,” Li Siyu said coldly.

“It seems that you still remember who I am, so tell me what’s going on inside your body,” Shen Fei said.

“Actually, I don’t know what’s going on. The power I have now is very strange,” Li Siyu replied coldly. “Although this body is very strong, it doesn’t have a soul. It’s like a puppet.”

Hearing this, Shen Fei frowned.

‘Li Siyu’s tone sounded a bit like it belonged to Lear! Could Li Siyu and Lear be related?’

Shen Fei’s eyes filled with contemplation. He had an inkling that Li Siyu had something to do with him.

‘What if Lear could possess others?’ Shen Fei’s heart trembled. It would be a tragedy if Li Siyu was really possessed. However, he did not show his sadness on the outside.

“Are you Lear?! Did you change Li Siyu’s body to suit your selfish needs?!” Shen Fei demanded.

“Tsk tsk, you’re wrong. This is my new body, and my strength has increased drastically. However, I can only possess this body temporarily. My soul is still my own,” Li Siyu said with a sly smile.

After hearing the way he answered his question, Shen Fei was almost certain that Li Siyu was no longer in control of this body. The way he spoke was completely different from Li Siyu’s usual manner.

“I don’t care if you’re Li Siyu or Lear. You should release all your demonic Qi at once. Otherwise, I won’t be against the idea of erasing you from existence!” Shen Fei shouted.

“Tsk, tsk! How dare you tell me what to do, you piece of trash!” Li Siyu sneered as he disregarded Shen Fei’s threat. In his eyes, Shen Fei was not worth his time and could not hope to measure up to him at all. He refused to acknowledge what had happened during their last encounter. In fact, the event never even registered in his mind.

Shen Fei coldly snorted, “Looks like you’re forcing me to teach you a lesson after all.”
