Chapter 1609 Don''t Pick On Him
"Yes, it was him who had saved me from the Ji n. Without him, I don''t know where I would be now,"
the Peacock Princess answered as she threw Austin a grateful smile. Her eyes shone with much
appreciation.
"Oh, I see,"
Boris uttered while slightly nodding his head after hearing her words. Then his eyes fell on Austin, too.
It was as if he was waiting for Austin to do something.
Under the inspecting eyes of Boris, Austin had no choice but toe forward. He immediately went
and gave a courteous greeting.
"I''m Austin Lin. It''s a great honor to meet you here, Roc King," Austin greeted politely.
He knew that Boris was waiting for him to make a move to meet him, so he did. He instantly flew mid-
air, saluting him in the distance.
"Pretty good! I admire your courage, young man," Borismented.
He gave Austin an admiring look after uttering his praises.
Austin was just a young man with a low cultivation base. It was really courageous of him toe face
to face with the Ji n—one of the three great families of the East Maind.
"Humph! You are really a snipper-snapper. You are nothing but a low life," one of the senior reclusive
elders of the Ji n sneered as he saw Austin''s action.
His tone sounded rather cold and bitter.
Seeing this, the warriors who stood by to watch in excitement now gloated.
They considered what Austin did as a bold move. He dared to show up and talk to the Roc King in front
of the two senior reclusive elders of the Ji n even though he had already offended their n earlier.
He should have kept himself away from the Ji n''s sight, but he didn''t. Instead, what he was doing
now was too daring. It would definitely provoke the n even further.
It was obvious that the Ji n would never let go of the boy for what he did. Their power and forces
were even beyond disputable. So, he might have a tough time when he stayed in the East Maind.
The consequence of offending the Ji n would be beyond what he could bear.
"Hey, you two old men, listen to me," the Flood Dragon King suddenly spoke to the two elders.
"Don''t let me know that any of your people bullies our Peacock Princess again, or you will face the
wrath of the whole beast race in the East Maind.
I swear,"
he warned coldly. His eyes looked threatening as he gave off a chilly aura when he spoke.
Hearing those words, the two senior reclusive elders got angry. Their faces contorted as they tried not
to show the rage building up.
Even though they were unwilling to ept it, they knew that they had to. If they made enemies of all
the beast race in the East Maind, the oue could be serious. They couldn''t afford to risk it.
"Hmm! Well, you better behave yourselves too and stay away from us,"
one of the senior reclusive elders finally said with gritted teeth.
Although he didn''t formally proimed his agreement, what he said meant that he had already
epted the Flood Dragon King''s demands.
"And, this young man, he is now under the beast race''s protection. Don''t pick on him anymore.

Otherwise, we are not going to let you get away with it,"
the Flood Dragon King suddenly added as he pointed his finger towards Austin.
Upon hearing his words, the whole ce fell on dead silence. Nobody uttered a single word. Everyone
present in the crowd werepletely stunned.
What the Flood Dragon King dered made them totally confused.
How could a great master of the beast race publicly dere to protect a mere human young boy?
Even Austin himself couldn''t believe what he just heard! He was under the protection of the entire
beast race!
"Don''t be insatiable, Flood Dragon King.
Peacock Princess is the princess of your race so I can understand why you would protect her.
But what does this human boy have to do with you? And who do you think you are to interfere with the
matters between the Ji n and him?
You are going way too far!"
one of the senior reclusive elders snapped. What the Flood Dragon King dered about the boy finally
made him lose control.
As he bellowed the words, it seemed as if the whole sky also shook in rage. Dark clouds appeared in
the sky, rolling and roaring.
Lightning streaks shed through the clouds.
All of a sudden, a giant dark hand stretched out from the dark clouds. shes of lightning glinted
around the hand, which formed a mysterious and bizarre picture.
The hand was so big that it covered almost the entire sky, including the sun. The whole world was
engulfed in darkness.
Boom...
With the booming sound, the giant hand gradually advanced towards the Flood Dragon King. It would
seem like the hand was moving very slowly, but it was actually moving really fast.
In a sh, it came above the head of the Flood Dragon King.
The bystanders that were initially just watching for fun were now petrified. They could even hear their
hearts beating fast at the moment. The air seemed to have been pulled away, making them feel like
they were in a vacuum.
Some warriors with poor strength had already gone limp and fell on the ground. Their bodies trembled
under the influence of such tremendous force.
Sure enough, the power of the senior reclusive elder was indeed formidable. The people were so
scared that their hearts hammered in their chests.
Austin also struggled to get a hold of himself. He unleashed all his physical strength and vital energy
force, desperately trying not to let himself fall.
Just then, the Roc King noticed that Austin was out of sorts. With a wave of his hand, a stream of warm
energy was released and came over to where Austin stood. The warm energy enveloped the young
boy like a nket.
Austin instantly felt that all the difort had gone. All that was left was afortable feeling as if he
was bathing in the sunshine.
"Humph! It''s just a petty skill!"
the Flood Dragon King sneered at the senior reclusive elder.
Rumble...
Aggressive waves of demonic energy began to ripple from his body and poured towards the giant hand
surrounded by lightning.
"Bang!"
The giant hand, which previously looked menacing, exploded like a bubble when it came into contact
with the overwhelming demonic energy unleashed by the Flood Dragon King.
"How could he..."
the senior reclusive elder couldn''t help but exim in horror, his voice full of fear.
"Ha-ha! I just want to protect him. Do I need to exin the reason to you?"
the Flood Dragon King bellowed with augh, showing a disrespectful attitude towards the two senior
reclusive elders.
"Well, considering the arrogance of that ignorant boy, I believe even if our n does not kill him, he will
not live long," one senior reclusive elder uttered.
Then he turned to Austin with a snicker, "Boy, let''s see how long the beast race can keep you safe!"
With that, he flicked his sleeve heavily as he gave Austin a vicious look.
And then he suddenly disappeared from the scene.
Another senior reclusive elder also snorted coldly as he turned around and disappeared.
Despite their mighty self-talk and boastful attitude, the elders just went along with what the Flood
Dragon King wanted. They would not pick on the boy anymore, at least not in public.
The other warriors present in the scene stood still, deeply shocked at what they had witnessed.
They could not believe that the Ji n would sumb to the threat of the Flood Dragon King so easily
and promised not to trouble Austin.
Even Austin was shocked. At the same time, he considered himself very lucky.
Because of the Flood Dragon King, the Ji n would at least not dare to chase him openly in the
future.
"Young man, take care of yourself.
Even though they''re not gonnae after you in public, I''m afraid that they won''t let you get away with
it and they might try to deal with you by using their sly ways.
If one day you are secretly killed by Ji n somewhere, we have no way to hold them ountable.
We can only help you this far. You have to be alert from now on.
By the way, I have some treasures here that I used to get from the masters of the human race.
I will give them all to you as a thank-you gift for saving the Peacock Princess,"
the Roc King talked to Austin through his spiritual sense.
With a wave of his hand, a beam of light instantly flew out of his sleeve and stopped in front of Austin. It
was a Space Ring.
Austin reached out to take it and held it in his hand.
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, you cane to me for help," the Roc King said to Austin,
giving him a gentle smile.
Then, he waved his sleeve again. This time, a surge of demonic energy rolled out and it enveloped the
Peacock Princess and other girls of the beast race.
In a blink of an eye, the Roc King had taken all of them and left.
The Flood Dragon King also gave Austin a slight smile before he disappeared from the scene.
The two great masters of the beast race both cast a friendly smile on Austin before they left. Anyone
who witnessed it would think that they apparently favored the young man.
The bystanders could not help but feel envious and jealous of him. How they wish such good luck
would fall on them, too!
There was no doubt that with the strong support from the two great masters, no one in the East
Maind would dare to offend him in the future. He indeed made a strong alliance.
