Chapter 104 Feeding

"Brother Ge!"

Minister of War Zhang Xiaoyong cried out in anguish, heartbroken and unable to hold back his sobs. He and Ge Yuan

had always been close friends, both ministers of the empire, always together in court, inseparable, like brothers. He never imagined that

in the blink of an eye, they would be separated by death, forever parted.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanhe stared at the Crimson Dragon Beast in stunned silence, their faces ashen. All the imperial

officials were also shocked and horrified by the terrifying power of the Crimson Dragon Beast. Prince Fu was pale, trembling, and drenched in cold sweat, feeling

as if he escaped death. He secretly rejoiced that Ge Yuan had gotten there first; otherwise, it would

be him, not Ge Yuan, lying dead on the ground.

Prime Minister Xiao Hongyuan was furious, his face contorted with rage. He glared coldly at Crown Prince Qinglong and said, "You

did this on purpose!"

Crown Prince Qinglong remained unmoved, merely glancing at Ge Yuan's charred corpse on the ground, his eyes devoid of pity.

He feigned ignorance of Prime Minister Xiao's words and said indifferently, "What do you mean by that, Prime Minister? Are you questioning me?"

Xiao Hongyuan retorted angrily, "Why didn't you remind General Ge that the Crimson Dragon Beast could breathe fire?"

"I already reminded Prince Fu and stopped him!"

Qinglong replied fearlessly, sneering, "I didn't tell General Ge to approach the iron cage.

He was greedy and wanted the Crimson Dragon Beast. He was courting death, so why should I stop him? Besides

, even if I had reminded him, he might not have believed me! Moreover, he treated the Crimson Dragon Beast like a horse, without any precautions. Who can he blame?"

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Hongyuan roared, pointing his halberd and glaring at the Azure Dragon Prince, shouting, "You're just spouting nonsense, deliberately trying to harm

a general of my empire..." "Enough, stop arguing!"

the Empress Dowager said, her face as cold as frost, "Prime Minister Xiao, General Ge Yuan is dead. No matter how much you question him, he

won't come back to life. His Highness the Azure Dragon is here on a mission to the empire to celebrate my birthday. He's a guest from afar, so don't

neglect him!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Grand Tutor Cao also said, "Prime Minister, General Ge is dead. We should quickly inform his family and properly

bury him ! It's all General Ge's fault for being too careless, not taking a high-level magical beast seriously, which led to his death! Alas—"

he said, letting out a long sigh, shaking his head, looking heartbroken.

In fact, apart from Zhang Xiaoyong and some military officials,

few death. Most were secretly pleased, even gloating.

The current Divine Eagle Empire court is mainly divided into four major factions: the Cao family faction led by Grand Tutor Cao,

the Wu family Wu Wudi, and the Xiao and Lu families led by Prime Minister Xiao and

Grand Tutor Lu, respectively. These four factions completely control the imperial court, while the royal family, as the rulers of the empire, has become a mere

puppet, power relinquished, and can only watch helplessly as the four families fight amongst themselves.

General Ge Yuan belonged to the military faction, specifically the Wu family faction, and was directly under Wu Wudi's command. His

death was a loss for the Wu family, but beneficial to the other three factions. With his death, they are likely

less focused on how to fill the void left by his death with their own people.

A tragedy occurred at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and the deceased was none other than a general of the empire—this was hardly a good thing.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanhe were both furious, but could not retaliate. To blame the Azure Dragon Prince and his group

would to declaring war on the Shura Empire. To wage war against the Shura Empire for the sake of a mere subject was not what those in

power desired. In any case, it was a member of the military who died; how to handle Ge Yuan's death was Wu Wudi's business. They had no need to

meddle or be sentimental.

At this time, the palace guards had already wrapped Ge Yuan's body in a sheet and carried it away. The halls, thanks to the efforts of the eunuchs and maids

, had been cleaned up and returned to tranquility.

Because of Ge Yuan's death, the officials of the Divine Eagle Empire witnessed the power of the Crimson Dragon Beast for the first time and were filled

with fear. No one dared to feed the Crimson Dragon Beast like Ge Yuan had done; they didn't want to be roasted

into "roast pigs" by its flames. Of course, some people coveted the Crimson Dragon Beast and wanted to make it their mount, but that required

survival . If they lost their lives, everything was lost.

After breathing fire and burning Ge Yuan to death, the Crimson Dragon Beast had quieted down, lying in its iron cage with its head pressed against

the iron plate, its eyes half-open and half-closed, appearing very relaxed and content. Although it was now confined in a cage and chained, everyone around it could feel the proud and unyielding

aura unique to high-level magical beasts emanating from it . 　　The Azure Dragon Prince glanced at the generals of the Divine Eagle Empire, a cold smile on his face. He thought to himself, "If the Crimson Dragon Beast were so easy to subdue, why would my father have brought it here?" 　　Thinking this, he said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, I am deeply it was merely an accident. Everyone has already witnessed the Crimson Dragon Beast. If no one in your country can feed it and make it subdue you, then I will have no choice but to take it back to the grasslands and release it back into nature!" 　　The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly. She looked down at the officials below, then at Consort Cao, Consort Lu, Princess Duanyang, and other members of the royal family, and asked, "Who among you will feed the Crimson Dragon Beast?" 　　"I'll try!" 　　Princess Tanxiang jumped out and said. She was always bold and unruly, with a strong curiosity . Although the Crimson Dragon Beast was terrifying, capable of breathing fire and having burned General Ge Yuan to death, and that approaching it would be extremely dangerous, Princess Tanxiang couldn't resist trying it out, driven by her intense curiosity. 　　When Consort Cao saw her daughter emerge, her face paled. She didn't want her daughter to take the risk and shouted, "Stop fooling around ! This is none of your business, Tanxiang! Get out of here now!" 　　The Empress Dowager also didn't want Princess Tanxiang to risk approaching the Crimson Dragon Beast. She frowned, about to speak, when Princess Tanxiang said, "Mother, Grandmother, Tanxiang will be careful, don't worry!" 　　With that, she ran down from the rooftop. Consort Cao tried to stop her, but it was too late. 　　Seeing a young girl feeding the Crimson Dragon Beast, the Azure Dragon Prince couldn't help but admire Princess Sandalwood's courage. So many grown men in the building , after witnessing Ge Yuan's tragic death, were afraid of the Crimson Dragon Beast and hesitated to approach. Yet Princess Sandalwood, a young girl, came out with commendable courage, making the men present feel ashamed.

Like Ge Yuan before her, Princess Sandalwood stuffed hay into the iron cage. However, she was much more cautious than Ge Yuan,

constantly on guard, trying not to touch the Crimson Dragon Beast. She said, "Crimson Dragon Beast, Crimson Dragon Beast, I am Princess Sandalwood.

I am not a bad person, I have no ill intentions towards you, I will not hurt you. You must be starving! Let me feed you,

okay? Be good..." Hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but smile, thinking that Princess Sandalwood was coaxing a child.

However, the Crimson Dragon Beast didn't buy it, ignoring the hay Princess Sandalwood stuffed into the iron cage

, not even sniffing it. Perhaps it found Princess Sandalwood more pleasing to the eye than Ge Yuan, and didn't fly into a rage or breathe fire, just

ignored it.

Princess Sandalwood tried to coax the Crimson Dragon Beast with kind words, saying all sorts of nice things, but the Crimson Dragon Beast just wouldn't listen. Helpless

, Princess Sandalwood had to give up, declaring failure. However, she did set a good example. Seeing that Princess

Tanxiang hadn't angered the Crimson Dragon Beast into breathing fire, it seemed the beast preferred women. Thus,

Princess Duanyang, Princess Tanhua, Princess Tanyu, and even Consort Lu were tempted to feed the Crimson Dragon Beast. However,

they dared not get too close, much less touch its body. Despite their best efforts, they

couldn't sway the beast in the slightest. The Crimson Dragon Beast was unyielding; no matter how much they tried to entice or persuade it, it remained unmoved and

refused to eat.

The officials of the empire followed suit, also learning their lesson and avoiding touching the beast's body. Whether it was

Prince Jing, Prince Fu, or even the Grand Uncle Cao Wenrong, the Lu siblings, Wu Tianhu (the second son of the Wu family), or the Xiao brothers

, none could get the Crimson Dragon Beast to eat. Their efforts were in vain, and in the end, everyone was at a loss.

Seeing that the Crimson Dragon Beast remained unmoved and wouldn't listen to any of their attempts, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanhe exchanged a shake of their heads.

The Empress said, "It seems our people won't be able to easily get the Crimson Dragon Beast to eat. If no one can do it, we'll

have no choice but to have the Azure Dragon Prince drag it back to the grasslands!"

Emperor Xuanhe stared intently at the Crimson Dragon Beast, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said weakly, "Such a Crimson Dragon Beast, it's such a pity it

can't be used as a mount!"

Consort Cao, standing nearby, interjected, "Mother, Your Majesty, if our soldiers..." " With this Crimson Dragon Beast as a mount,

one will be like a tiger with wings on the battlefield, invincible!"

The Empress Dowager nodded noncommittally, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "What Consort Lu said is true. Any

general would want such a mount, and Emperor Shura would certainly want it too. It seems he had no other way to make

the Crimson Dragon Beast obedient, so he sent it to our empire. This Crimson Dragon Beast is a hybrid of a Crimson Dragon and a unicorn, possessing

the arrogance of a Crimson Dragon and the nobility of a unicorn. It is definitely not something an ordinary person can ride!"

"Mother, what kind of person can make the Crimson Dragon Beast obedient?"

Consort Cao asked.

The Empress Dowager pondered, "Dragons are the most arrogant magical beasts in the world, and unicorns are the noblest.

This Crimson Dragon Beast is a combination of arrogance and nobility. To make it submit, it would have to feel the same

arrogance and nobility as itself!"

Consort Cao frowned upon hearing this, "Every member of our royal family has noble blood and an arrogant personality, but

the Crimson Dragon Beast doesn't seem to care!"

Saying this, she looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled, "Mother, you are the mother of the empire, the most noble woman in the world.

Why don't you give it a try?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head. It wasn't that she was unwilling to try, but she was afraid of losing face. Besides, she

wasn't confident. The Crimson Dragon Beast didn't recognize the Empress Dowager; in its eyes, humans were as insignificant as ants.

Inadvertently, the Empress Dowager glanced at Princess Jingguo and Lady Fan behind the seats on her right. Seeing them sitting

motionless, she let out a soft exclamation and, on a whim, asked, "Third Princess, why

don't a try?"

Hearing the Empress Dowager's question, everyone's gaze turned to Princess Jingguo. The officials were also

surprised. Indeed, almost everyone had gone to feed the Crimson Dragon Beast, yet Princess Jingguo and Lady Fan remained seated

. Were they not tempted by the Crimson Dragon Beast?

It was impossible for Princess Jingguo not to be tempted. Princess Jingguo was

one of the most outstanding generals in the Divine Eagle Empire, a veteran of countless battles and charges into battle, and she had extremely high standards for her mount. Although she also

longed for this Crimson Dragon Beast, she already had her own. This time, coming to the capital to attend the Empress Dowager's fortieth

birthday celebration, she hadn't ridden her beloved mount to the capital, but instead entrusted it to Gongsun Yan, the commander of her Iron-Blooded Women's Army,

as a temporary mount, mainly to intimidate the enemy forces of the Peacock Dynasty.

Of course, Princess Jingguo's mount was still inferior to the Crimson Dragon Beast. However, Princess Jingguo

had developed a deep affection for her mount, and if she had to choose, she would only choose her own mount, not

the Crimson Dragon Beast.

Hearing the Empress Dowager's question, Princess Jingguo dared not be negligent. She rose and bowed to the Empress Dowager, saying, "Your Majesty,

I know I am not fortunate enough to possess the Crimson Dragon Beast, therefore, there is no need to try!"

The Empress Dowager was unconvinced, saying calmly, "How will you know you are not fortunate enough if you don't try!

Perhaps the Crimson Dragon Beast will even be interested in you!"

"That's right! Your Highness, how will you know if you don't try!"

Prime Minister Xiao added.

Princess Jingguo shook her head, about to refuse, when her gaze fell upon Yu Yilong and "Yuen Slave Jiao," and her eyes lit up.

She quickly said to the Empress Dowager, "Your Majesty, may I send two of my subordinates to try!"
