Chapter 1007 Exerting Dominance

"What's this? You don't want to share the food?" Leon softly chuckled at Rainshine's behavior and said, "But if the golden suanni is cooperative, we might have to share the food."

"Meow!" Rainshine voiced her unwillingness.

"I can always cook more."

After Leon said that, Rainshine paused with a contemplating look for a moment before her eyes started beaming at Leon.

'Cooking more was good; please cook more' – Rainshine's eyes conveyed.

Before long, the gathered beasts in the distance split up and lowered their heads as they made way for the ruler of the jungle, a Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni.

It was only half the size of an average elephant, far from being comparable to other Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level beasts found throughout the Wildlands on the Desolate Beast Continent.

However, being smaller didn't make the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni weaker.

In fact, its strength and defense were both high and sturdy due to its compacted body size.

Even so, Peak Rank 2 Transcendent is far below the adequate level to rule the entire western jungle. Most likely, the golden suanni was only the ruler of a small territory in the whole jungle.

Roar! Roar!

The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni growled at Leon, but its eyes were fixed on the hyena carcass being roasted over the spitfire.

Leon could tell it was trying to say something. But unfortunately, Leon did not understand what it was trying to say exactly.

He turned to Rainshine and said, "You're both from the cat family. Do you understand what it's trying to say?"

"The golden suanni is demanding you hand over the food to it, Master," Rainshine answered with a gloomy look.

"It's also saying that if it finds the food palatable, it will spare us from the death penalty for arbitrarily killings beasts under its rule. Furthermore, it said it will also permit you to serve it as its new head chef, Master."

"In my opinion, this golden suanni is too pompous and needs a reality check. Can you let me handle this matter, Master?" Rainshine requested.

"Hm?" Leon studied Rainshine's dark expression for a moment before he casually said, "As long as you can learn the Golden Suanni Clan's location without killing it, I don't mind."

Nevertheless, Leon was amused that the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni's desire was to try the food he made rather than avenging the beasts under its rule.

The Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni viewed all the beasts in its territory as cannon fodders and food.

It was just a matter of when it wanted to eat and from which beast.

Despite that, the other beasts still chose to live fearfully under the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni's rule.

Leon could clearly see how much power and influence the Golden Suanni Clan held over the jungle from this.

"Thank you, Master," Rainshine nodded. After a momentary pause, she confirmed again, "As long as I don't kill it, right, Master?"

"Yeah," Leon affirmed.

Shortly after, Rainshine approached the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni and stopped a few yards in front of it.

The other beasts retreated further to give them space.

At the same time, the difference in build between the Peak Rank 2 Transcendent-level Golden Suanni and the Early Paragon-level Winter Cat became evident.

As such, the golden suanni didn't view Rainshine as a threat.

Roar!

(Step aside, pipsqueak.)

(I have no interest in you, or do you think you can challenge me, the king of this jungle region, with your tiny body?)

(I have heard and seen your strength. It's only enough to bully the Rank 1 Transcendents in my animal kingdom, still far from challenging me, who stands at the peak of Rank 2 Transcendents.)

The golden suanni flagrantly boasted in front of Rainshine, but she showed a disinterested and bored look while grooming the fur on the back of her paw.

Meow!

(You talk too much.)

Rainshine replied.

Shortly after, Rainshine's hind legs erupted with strength as she dashed forward and headbutted the golden suanni in the chin, knocking it up into the sky.

The tremendous force of the impact immediately caused the golden suanni to view Rainshine in a different light.

But even though it had realized Rainshine's strength was much greater than what it gave her credit for, it reacted too late.

The golden suanni was stunned by the concussive blow.

And as its body landed back on the ground with a heavy thud and found the world spinning, Rainshine's tiny paw stepped on its neck and pressed its head back into the ground.

Roar!

The golden suanni roared angrily at its carelessness, which landed it in a humiliating position in front of its countless subjects.

(You might have surprised me with your strength, but this much is still nothing to me—!)

The golden suanni tried to overpower Rainshine with its strength and regain control of the situation, but it failed to break from Rainshine's paw.

Her paw was like an enormous mountain weighing on its neck, impossible to overcome.

Furthermore, Rainshine's claws grew out and slowly sunk into the golden suanni's neck with ease, causing its resistance to weaken and fear to sprout in its heart.

Roar…

(How can your puny body hold so much strength…?!)

(You… You're strength is at the level of the Monarchs…!)

The revelation horrified the golden suanni as it could only look at Rainshine from the corner of its left eye with fear and a hint of pleading.

Meow!

Rainshine slightly exerted a bit more strength, pressing the golden suanni into the ground before making it look her in the eye directly.

(You, look at me; I am the boss now. Do you understand?)

(Y-yes, ma'am! No, Boss! You are my boss!)

The golden suanni quickly tried to express its understanding and submission after Rainshine exerted her dominance.

(Good! Then, you will do as I say and tell me what I want to know, won't you?)

(Of course, Boss!)

The golden suanni tried to nod its head submissively.

(Do you still want to eat my master's food?)

(Y-yes…? No! I mean no, Boss!)

The golden suanni quickly corrected itself after being frightened by Rainshine's darkened expression and gloomy aura.
