Chapter 197 The Cub Recognizes Its Master
Zhuang Yu continued forward with Wang Yao and the spirit monkey. The closer they got, the stronger the throbbing in his heart became.
The mythical beast cub was nearby, and the excitement of his impending wish made him unconsciously tighten his grip on Wang Yao's hand, his palms slightly sweaty.
Wang Yao held his hand back, giving him silent encouragement.
The surrounding trees grew taller and taller, their branches and leaves intertwining and blocking out the sun. Only dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps, creating jumping spots of light on the ground.
The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, even carrying a hint of sweetness, which invigorated the spirit.
The clever monkey hopped ahead, leading the way, occasionally turning back to squeak, as if urging them to quicken their pace.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before me.
A huge cave appeared before them, its entrance covered with strange vines that shimmered with a faint glow.
Inside the cave, golden light flowed, and a powerful aura swept over, making one's heart tremble.
"This is it." Zhuang Yu took a deep breath.
Just then, two figures descended from the sky and blocked the entrance to the cave.
It was none other than True Lord Qingyan and Xiao Hong.
"I never expected you would actually find this place!" True Monarch Qingyan stared at the cave, his eyes filled with undisguised greed. "This divine beast cub is destined to be mine!"
Xiao Hong was also excited, rubbing her hands together and saying, "Master, with this divine beast cub, our strength will definitely increase greatly!"
Zhuang Yu shielded Wang Yao and the spirit monkey behind him, staring coldly at Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples, and said in a chilling voice, "I advise you to leave immediately, or you will bear the consequences!"
"Haha, you think you can stop me?" True Monarch Qingyan laughed disdainfully. "Who do you think you are to dare to block my way?"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being polite!" Zhuang Yu's eyes narrowed, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding trees to tremble.
Qingyan Zhenjun and Xiaohong's expressions changed slightly; they hadn't expected Zhuang Yu to be so powerful.
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, don't even think about snatching the divine beast cub from my hands!" True Monarch Qingyan snorted coldly, and a long sword appeared in his hand, its blade burning with raging flames.
Xiao Hong also unleashed her secret weapon, ready to strike at any moment.
The atmosphere was tense, and a major battle was about to break out.
Just then, a child's innocent cry came from deep within the cave...
Deep within the cave, the child's innocent cries, tinged with curiosity and affection, echoed through the cave, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a strange magic, easing the tense atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, a furry little figure slowly emerged from the depths of the cave.
It was a small, snow-white beast with a pair of tiny horns on its head. Its eyes shone like two obsidian stones as it curiously observed the people in front of it.
It staggered and wobbled as it approached Zhuang Yu, its dark eyes gleaming with doubt, as if trying to confirm something.
Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of intimacy welled up within him.
He slowly squatted down, carefully extending his hand, palm up, hoping to convey his goodwill.
The little beast tilted its head, seemingly hesitant, but ultimately couldn't resist its curiosity and gently rubbed against Zhuang Yu's palm.
The soft touch was as light as a feather, with a hint of warmth.
"Awoo~" The little beast let out a joyful cry, and its body relaxed even more as it snuggled closer to Zhuang Yu, its little head rubbing against his palm in an extremely affectionate manner.
A warm current flowed into Zhuang Yu's body, and he could clearly feel that a wonderful connection had been established between him and the little beast.
He knew he had succeeded; the mythical beast cub had already recognized him as its master.
Zhuang Yu was filled with joy. He gently stroked the little beast's soft fur, feeling the warmth emanating from its body.
This is not just a divine beast cub, but a huge boost to his strength, and a guarantee for his survival in the cultivation world.
Seeing this, Qingyan Zhenjun and Xiaohong's faces turned ashen. They had gone to great lengths and overcome many dangers, only to have their efforts benefit others in the end. How could they be willing to accept this?
"Damn it!" Qingyan Zhenjun roared, his longsword blazing even more fiercely. He could no longer remain calm and roared, "Boy, I will definitely kill you and snatch the divine beast cub!"
Before he finished speaking, True Monarch Qingyan charged towards Zhuang Yu with overwhelming momentum.
Xiao Hong followed closely behind, unleashing her own magical weapon and launching an attack in coordination with True Monarch Qingyan.
The sharp sword energy, mixed with raging flames, instantly enveloped Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu held the divine beast cub without the slightest panic.
He shielded Wang Yao and the spirit monkey behind him, his eyes calmly fixed on the approaching Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples.
He could feel a powerful force surging within him, the power given to him by the divine beast cub.
"Well done!" Zhuang Yu shouted. He circulated his spiritual power and unleashed a powerful aura, neutralizing the attacks of Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples one by one.
He formed hand seals and unleashed a series of powerful spells, completely blocking the attacks from Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples.
His figure moved like a ghost, constantly weaving through the attacks, making it difficult for Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples to get close for a while.
Faced with Zhuang Yu's formidable strength, fear also appeared in the eyes of True Monarch Qingyan and Xiao Hong.
They never expected that this seemingly ordinary grassroots boy would possess such terrifying power.
They began to feel afraid, realizing that they might have messed with someone they shouldn't have.
Zhuang Yu's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile.
He held the mythical beast cub in one arm, slowly raising the other, his eyes sharp as a knife.
He said softly, "Next, it's my turn..."
Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened, and he pressed his advantage.
He gently patted the cub's head in his arms and said softly, "Little one, go help us." The cub seemed to understand and let out a "woof," its body suddenly growing larger and transforming into a magnificent, snow-white beast. It spread its wings, stirring up a gust of wind, and exuded a powerful aura, causing the expressions of Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciple to change drastically.
The cub opened its massive maw, and a dazzling white light shot out, striking Qingyan Zhenjun directly.
Wherever the white light passed, space seemed to distort, emitting bursts of explosions.
Qingyan Zhenjun hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed by the white light. His robes instantly turned to ashes, revealing his charred skin. A burning pain made him let out a scream.
Xiao Hong was terrified. He had thought that he and his master could deal with Zhuang Yu together, but he never expected that such a powerful divine beast cub would suddenly appear. This was completely beyond his expectations.
He hurriedly summoned his defensive magic weapon, but was still knocked away by the cub's attack, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, and unable to get up for a long time.
The cub's attack was unstoppable, leaving Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciple helpless.
The Azure Flame True Monarch dodged the cub's attacks in a sorry state, his body covered in wounds. His once domineering aura had long since vanished, replaced by endless fear.
He was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have provoked the boy who had a divine beast cub.
Standing behind Zhuang Yu, Wang Yao watched this scene unfold. She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, feeling the pulse of new life, her heart filled with anticipation for the future.
She felt like she was part of a family, with Zhuang Yu as the pillar, the cubs as their children, and her as the haven protecting this family.
Zhuang Yu also turned around and gazed tenderly at Wang Yao. Their eyes met, and everything was understood without words.
Their feelings for each other deepened at that moment, as if they had become one and could never be separated again.
The warm and pleasant atmosphere contrasted sharply with the fierce battle that had just taken place, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Let's go," Zhuang Yu said softly, gently pulling Wang Yao into his arms and feeling the warmth of her body.
The monkey jumped onto Zhuang Yu's shoulder, pointed in a direction, and squeaked a few times.
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly and looked in the direction indicated by the spirit monkey, his gaze landing on a hidden valley in the distance...
What's there?
With one arm around Wang Yao and the other gently stroking the obedient little beast cub nestled in his arms, Zhuang Yu, led by the spirit monkey, embarked on a secluded mountain path.
The path winds and twists, hidden in the dense jungle, and is almost impossible to spot without careful observation.
The wildflowers by the roadside exude a faint fragrance, mixed with the scent of soil and grass, which is refreshing and invigorating.
Birds sang merrily on the branches, their melodious chirping echoing through the valley, as if bidding them farewell.
Wang Yao nestled in Zhuang Yu's arms, feeling the warmth and security emanating from him, her heart filled with happiness and peace.
She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, feeling the rhythm of new life, and a tender smile appeared on her face.
The mythical beast cubs curiously observed everything around them, occasionally letting out tender cries, adding a touch of vitality to the quiet valley.
Sometimes it would rub its fluffy little head against Zhuang Yu's arm, and sometimes it would stick out its pink little tongue to lick Wang Yao's fingers. Its adorable appearance made people smile.
The nimble monkey leaped nimbly ahead, glancing back every now and then to make sure Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao could keep up.
It was clearly very familiar with the mountain path, leading them easily around all the traps and obstacles, making their way through without any hindrance.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before me.
They arrived at the exit of a valley, where they could overlook the entire valley.
The valley is shaded by green trees, with babbling brooks, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, resembling a beautiful landscape painting.
Zhuang Yu stopped and looked back. Behind him were rolling mountains, shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
He knew that he had successfully shaken off the entanglement of Qingyan Zhenjun and his disciples, and had safely left with Wang Yao and the divine beast cub.
"We're finally safe," Wang Yao said softly, her voice filled with emotion.
Zhuang Yu nodded
He gently patted the little head of the divine beast cub and said softly, "Little one, you will follow me from now on. I will protect you and help you become the most powerful divine beast."
The mythical beast cub let out a soft "woof" as if it didn't quite understand, and rubbed its fluffy little head against Zhuang Yu's palm, expressing its affection and dependence.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air in the valley, his heart filled with hope and fighting spirit.
He turned around, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, and with Wang Yao and the divine beast cub, he strode resolutely away from the valley...
"What's this little guy eating...?"
