Chapter 017: Temptation

That Space Rending Slash was originally aimed at the massive body of the Dark Demon Tiger. As soon as the Dark Demon Tiger transformed, its size shrank by more than ten times, and the Space Rending Slash passed by the green-robed youth.
“Human, what kind of technique is that? Why do I even feel a threat?” The green-robed man asked in confusion after sensing the Space Rending Slash pass by him without posing any threat anymore.
“That’s a secret,” Du Fan said. “How could I possibly tell you such things? Besides, look at you—although you’ve become a divine beast, it seems you’ve always stayed in the Twilight Mountains. I doubt you know much about the outside world. Otherwise, how could you still be at the divine beast level without knowing what my technique is?”
Hearing Du Fan’s words, the green-robed youth was stunned for a moment before suddenly saying, “True. I’ve only become a divine beast for a short time. Over the years, I’ve been hiding from Gelmu’s pursuit, so I really don’t know much about the outside world.”
Haha, Du Fan was delighted. He hadn’t expected that a casual remark of his would reveal such things.
“Then, do you want to come with me and experience human society? You should know that human society is full of diversity. You can transform into a human too. In human society, there are delicious foods, wonderful music, beautiful dances, and among humans, there are women even more beautiful than immortals!”
“Many beautiful women among humans?” The green-robed man wasn’t too concerned at first, but upon hearing the latter part, his eyes widened.
The Dark Demon Tiger race was indeed known for their lustfulness, especially those who had evolved into human form. Hearing Du Fan mention beautiful human women, their hearts were stirred.
Seeing the Dark Demon Tiger’s reaction, Du Fan was pleased and quickly added, “Of course. Human women are not like the women of the dwarf race in the Twilight Mountains. The human population has reached hundreds of millions, and there are tens of millions of young women. Just think—how many absolutely stunning women must there be among those tens of millions?” Du Fan continued to tempt him.
“But I know nothing about your human society at all,” the green-robed man said, tilting his head in thought.

“You just follow me. I am, after all, a grand duke of a major empire among humans. As long as you stay with me, I’ll take you to experience all the splendor of the human world. By then, even if the gods in heaven invite you to go up there, you won’t want to.” Du Fan saw that the Dark Demon Tiger was on board and further tempted him.

“Okay, okay. If you’re willing to take me around in human society, I won’t eat you,” the Dark Demon Tiger nodded in agreement after hearing Du Fan’s words.

“However, I still have a few demands,” Du Fan said, keeping things intriguing seeing the Dark Demon Tiger’s reaction.

“What are your demands?” the Dark Demon Tiger asked eagerly.

“First, you can’t touch any of my women,” Du Fan said.

After thinking for a moment, the Dark Demon Tiger quickly nodded. “I agree to that condition.”

Hearing Du Fan’s words, the Dark Demon Tiger immediately realized that there were tens of millions of young women among humans, so there was no need to compete with Du Fan for them.

“There’s another condition: you must sign a pact with me. As a divine beast, I’m still not entirely at ease having you around. You must swear to the Beast God that you won’t do anything to betray me,” Du Fan said seriously again.

“That’s simple. I, Rob of the Dark Demon Tiger clan, will definitely not do anything to betray the humans. Oh, by the way, what’s your name?” the Dark Demon Tiger suddenly asked.

“My full name is Du Fan Berlin,” Du Fan replied immediately, realizing that this Dark Demon Tiger was now fully committed.

Once this oath was taken, hehe, in the human world, this Dark Demon Tiger would surely become a great asset to him!

What Du Fan had always regretted was that although he had many experts in his realm, there wasn’t a single god-tier expert. Although Nai Xiu and Moses had already merged with divine essences, it would still take some time before they became gods. During that time, having a god-tier expert to hold back the enemy would bring much stability, Du Fan thought to himself.

“I, Rob of the Dark Tiger Clan, swear to the Supreme God that throughout my life, I will never do anything that would betray Du Fan Berlin or harm humanity. If I break this oath, I, Rob of the Dark Tiger Clan, am willing to die in flames!” As soon as he spoke these words, a drop of golden blood appeared on Rob’s finger. The drop transformed into an intricate pattern, which vanished in an instant. The appearance of this pattern meant that the Supreme God had accepted Rob’s oath. If Rob ever broke it, he would suffer death by fire, with no chance of survival.

Of course, Rob had his own calculations behind making this oath. To him, such an oath was utterly meaningless. Wouldn’t it be simple enough not to do anything that would harm Du Fan? Moreover, Rob thought that although Du Fan was quite skilled, his level was still far below Rob’s, making it easy for him to defeat Du Fan.

Just by seeing how Rob dealt with Gelmu, it was clear that a master like Du Fan was nothing in Rob’s eyes. So, Rob saw no harm in making such an oath.

“Haha.” Seeing Rob take this oath, Du Fan was delighted. To be honest, his biggest fear in trying to use this divine beast was that it might suddenly turn against him. Now that the oath had been taken, Du Fan could confidently take Rob back to his territory.

Although the Supreme God was no longer around, the rules he established still held. If Rob broke this oath, he would surely die in flames.

“Du Fan, let’s go! I want to meet the human girls. Haha, it’s been thousands of years! I’ve been hiding all this time. I can’t wait to have some fun!” After making the oath, Rob immediately called out to Du Fan.

Seeing this outcome, Nai Xiu also put away her Eternal Bow.

“Let’s go, Rob,” Du Fan said with a smile.

And so, a divine beast joined Du Fan’s faction. Of course, given the current situation, Du Fan didn’t have the authority to order Rob to do anything. But Du Fan thought, once you’re in my domain, haha, won’t you help me out then?

“Which direction?” Rob asked, looking at Du Fan.

After determining the direction, Du Fan took off immediately. “Rob, just fly behind me.” Hearing this, not only Nai Xiu and Chen Chen but also Rob flew into the air and followed Du Fan closely. After about half an hour, Rob suddenly said, “Du Fan, flying like this is way too slow. You’re at a higher altitude than me; let me lead the way.” “Really? You’re willing to fly with us?” Du Fan asked with a smile. “Hmph, although it’s very strenuous for a god to fly with three humans, you forgot—my true form is a Dark Demon Tiger! I’m a wind-type divine beast.” As he spoke, Rob suddenly transformed into his true form: a huge tiger over ten meters long with four wings appeared in the air. The tiger roared in the sky, instantly scaring away many animals of various sizes on the ground. “Du Fan, come on up! At your speeds, it will take a long time before you reach human society! Ahah, I can’t wait for the human beauties! Come on, I’ll give you a special treat—let you experience riding a divine beast!” the giant Dark Demon Tiger said in human speech. “Should we get on?” Nai Xiu asked me. “Sure! Of course! Why not?” Du Fan replied loudly, then flew up and sat on the Dark Demon Tiger. Seeing Du Fan on board, Nai Xiu didn’t hesitate either and flew to his side. Seeing this, Chen Chen also promptly sat on the Dark Demon Tiger. With its ten-meter-long body, the three of them could easily sit as if on a platform—plus, it was fluffy and soft, very comfortable. Once it sensed that all three were settled, the Dark Demon Tiger turned its head and asked, “Du Fan, which direction is the human society you want to go to?” “Just fly straight in that direction,” Du Fan said, raising his right hand. Hearing this, the Dark Demon Tiger spread its four wings and shot off in a flash—like a bolt of lightning—toward the direction Du Fan had indicated. “So fast!” Nai Xiu, sitting on the Dark Demon Tiger, was amazed by such speed. Even Du Fan was shocked! This speed was clearly much faster than that of the Dwarf King and the Grand Commander!

“Rob, you’re so fast! Even the Dwarf King and the Grand Commander can’t match you,” Du Fan said in admiration.
“Do you know their speeds?” The Dark Demon Tiger asked immediately upon hearing Du Fan’s words.
“Of course I do. They’ve flown with me several times, but their speeds aren’t as fast as yours!” Du Fan replied.
“Of course not! Think about it—would the speed of a wind-type magical beast be the same as that of an ordinary magical beast?” The Dark Demon Tiger roared loudly.
Hearing this, Du Fan immediately understood the reasoning.
Although the Dark Demon Tiger, the Dwarf King, and the Grand Commander were all god-tier experts, they differed in their attributes. All three were at the level of lower gods. It was like among low-level magicians—wind magic would surely be much faster than fire or lightning magic.
“Haha, so in your own class, you’re extremely fast?” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Of course! My clan of Dark Demon Tigers are originally wind-type magical beasts. When I reached the realm level, I discovered an additional lightning attribute in my abilities. I’m confident that among all lower god beasts, none can surpass me in speed,” the Dark Demon Tiger said proudly.
“Look at these wings—they appeared suddenly when I reached the realm of a powerful being. They’re lightning wings!” Saying this, the Dark Demon Tiger proudly raised two of its four wings as if showing off.
