Chapter 182: Natural Rivals
No matter how intelligent the little beast was, it did not know how to speak the human language. After analyzing the situation for a while longer, Lou QIanxue didn’t find anything new about it. Hence, she went to train.
The little beast didn’t remain obedient in her absence. Its large green eyes kept glancing at the heavenly sacred tree. Its gaze contained hunger but also wariness.
It tried to control itself, but eventually failed.
Whoosh!
It could not walk, nor could it steadily fly. However, when it dashed, its speed was shocking.
In the blink of an eye, it had already climbed onto the magical tree, hugged the branch, and opened its mouth.
Pa!
It had not even taken a bite when the tree became alive. The tree’s long branches whipped the little beast without any hesitation.
“Ow~”
The little beast cried out in pain.
The noises surprised Lou Qianxue, and she immediately opened her eyes to see the little beast bare its teeth like an untamed animal and pounce at the Heavenly Sacred tree.
Pa!
The tree whipped it down again, but the little beast was relentless.
They were like natural rivals. The little beast kept annoying the Heavenly Sacred tree, and the tree kept hitting it, but the little beast escaped the attacks.
When Lou Qianxue saw that none of them were in a position to do anything, she did not care anymore.
After being abused by the tree for a while, the little beast became tired. It dragged its long tail and daintily walked toward Lou Qianxue’s side. It climbed onto Lou Qianxue’s crossed knees and fell asleep while hugging its tail. Comfortable snores followed soon.
Lou Qianxue opened her eyes and glanced at it before resuming her training.
A new morning had arrived.
When the day brightened, Lou Qianxue exited the Mountain River Space. Within a night, the Qingyun Mountain had been utterly destroyed. The hundred-hectare forest had been razed to the ground. It was rife with the scent of blood and the corpses of beasts.
The few beasts from the previous day had unleashed their fury on the other lower-level beasts.
Lou Qianxue did not dare to stay any longer. She quickly used the ‘Glimpse Technique’ and dashed outside.
The little beast kept calling out to her in the Mountain River Space as if it wanted to come out. However, Lou Qianxue was scared that the beasts would discover its scent, so she ignored it.
She only released the little beast after she had left the Qingyun Mountain and entered the official route.
“Qiu qiu.” The little beast bit Lou Qianxue. However, it felt like it was grinding its teeth. Its bite was very light and did not even prick her skin.
Lou Qianxue caressed its head. “It was not that I didn’t want to release you. It was too dangerous in that area.”
The little beast understood it. It licked Lou Qianxue’s palm and became even tinier than when it was born. Then, it jumped onto Lou Qianxue’s shoulder, grabbed her clothes, and obediently sat there.
“You good little thing. You really know how to find a good spot.” Although Lou Qianxue was scolding it, she did not remove it from her. Instead, she deliberately tried to test the little beast’s abilities. “Then sit properly. We’re going to leave.”
Once again, she used the Glimpse Technique. Like a flash of lightning, she flew forward, leaving behind a shadow.
After crossing the Qingyun Mountain, they still needed half a day to reach Baiyan City.
Lou Qianxue had run for a while now, and she realized that no matter how fast she was, the little beast remained secure. The assessment satisfied her. As she had lost too much energy, she slowed down and leisurely walked on the official route.
After a while.
“Giddy up. Giddy up.”
A horse carriage rushed forward from behind her, and Lou Qianxue moved to the side.
When the carriage brushed past her, she glanced at it.
She discovered that the carriage was luxurious. Two extremely fast and rare dragon horses were driving the carriage. Furthermore, the two drivers outside the carriage exuded an extraordinary aura.
They were powerful.
However, this had nothing to do with her.
Lou Qianxue only glanced at them before withdrawing her gaze.
The carriage dashed past her.
Who would have known…
After the carriage drove further on, it turned back and stopped beside Lou Qianxue.
