Lu Li thought too much. The Zhao Family and the Liu Family had been in conflict recently. Lu Yi and the others did not associate it with Di Ba. They just kept running in silence.
At the foot of the mountain, they found some horses that had escaped. They ran all the way back to the County without stopping.
By the time they got back to the Liu Family, it was already midnight. Lu Yi went to the backyard angrily. Patriarch Hong asked Lu Li to go back to rest and left in a hurry.
Back at the Guest Clan, Lu Li went into his own yard. Lu Ling was reading a book with a lamp in her room. She was surprised to see Lu Li come back. She thought of something and asked, "Did something happen?"
Theoretically speaking, Lu Li should have finished his task quickly after he went to the Frigid Cloud Mountain. It would take him at least a few days to come back.
However, he had only been gone for two days. Lu Ling saw Lu Li covered in blood. She was smart enough to tell that something serious had happened.
Lu Li took a big gulp of water and told her what happened from beginning to end. He also told her his speculation.
Lu Ling was filled with murderous intent after she heard everything. She said in a cold voice, "Even if Di Ba was not the mastermind, he must have something to do with it.
Lu Li, when you have the chance, you must get to the bottom of this. If Di Ba did it, kill his entire family. "
Lu Li was not in the mood to think about something so far away. He thought of the white beast in the jute bag. He looked around and helped Lu Ling into the room. Then he opened the jute bag, pointed to the sleeping white beast and said, "Sis, what is this beast? Do you know it?"
Lu Ling looked at it carefully. Lu Li told her about his encounter with the beast. Lu Ling shook her head and said, "I don't know. There are some descriptions of powerful Xuan Beasts in the books my father left me, but there is no such Xuan Beast.
Maybe it is because this Xuan Beast is too small and it is not fully grown yet? "
It was dark in the cave, so Lu Li did not see the beast clearly. Now that he looked at it carefully in the candlelight, he felt that the beast was extraordinary.
The beast had snow-white fur, soft and beautiful. Not a single strand of hair was out of place.
Its head was like a cat's, but there was a short and beautiful mane on its head. It looked like a lion cub. Inside the mane, there were two small black horns that had not grown out yet, so they were covered by the mane.
The claws of the beast were very beautiful. They were white and shiny, reflecting cold light. They must be very sharp.
Lu Li was secretly shocked when he thought about the speed of the beast. If he was scratched by this beast, he might lose a piece of his flesh.
Lu Ling frowned and asked, "You said the beast was staring at your animal tooth pendant?
His eyes were filled with fear, but also a little hot? "
Lu Li nodded and then added, "Sis, this animal tooth pendant of mine can glow. When I was making the healing ointment, the animal tooth pendant glowed, and it was flickering. Also, the wounds on my body healed very quickly."
"There is such a thing?"
Lu Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at the animal tooth pendant. She nodded and said, "It seems that this animal tooth pendant is indeed a treasure. This little beast is willing to follow you because of the animal tooth pendant.
Father put the animal tooth on you when you were born, so he should know the origin of the animal tooth. "
"Treasure?"
Lu Li stared at the animal tooth pendant and observed it carefully. However, he did not find anything special about it. It was just an average animal tooth, only as thick as a little finger. Theoretically speaking, it should not be the tooth of a powerful Xuan Beast. The more powerful the Xuan Beast, the larger its size would be.
"You can't reveal this beast tooth of yours in the future."
Lu Ling turned around and walked into the room. She took out a small black bag and handed it to Lu Li. "Put the animal tooth pendant in this bag and hide it under your clothes. Don't let anyone see it."
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Right at that moment, the white little beast suddenly opened its eyes. It stared at the animal tooth pendant and kept making strange noises. Its eyes were filled with fear, but its eyes were sparkling. It seemed that it was longing for something.
"It really is because of the animal tooth pendant. What kind of Xuan Beast does this animal tooth pendant belong to?"
Lu Li was surprised. It was a pity that his father was missing and nobody told him about the origin of the animal tooth pendant.
Lu Li thought about it and put the animal tooth pendant back into the small bag. He even stretched out the black string of the necklace and hid it in his clothes.
Now that the animal tooth pendant was hidden, the little beast quieted down. It looked around with curiosity and circled around Lu Li while wagging its short tail.
However, the way it looked at Lu Ling was very cold, completely different from how it treated Lu Li.
"Lu Li!"
Lu Ling did not mind at all. Instead, she said to Lu Li with excitement, "This little beast might be of the Third Rank. But it is not long since it was born. You must take good care of it. It will be a great help to you in the future."
The white little beast was just born, but it already had the speed of a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm. What would it be like when it grew up?
Also, the spiritual intelligence of this white little beast was very high. Xuan Beasts of low ranks could not be this intelligent. It was very likely that it was of the Third Rank.
Xuan Beasts of the Third Rank were more powerful than warriors of the Soul Pond Realm. Once it grew up, it would be a piece of cake for it to fight against regular warriors of the Soul Pond Realm.
"Xuan Beast of the Third Rank!"
Lu Li was secretly delighted. Xuan Beasts could be tamed.
For example, the Silver Wolf Escorts of the Liu Family. The Silver Wolves they rode on were tamed since they were little. They were as fast as the wind and their combat abilities were comparable to Xuan Beasts of the First Rank.
"Little guy, come here!"
Lu Li bent over and reached out his hand. The white little beast jumped onto Lu Li's hand affectionately.
The little beast was too small, only the size of a fist. At this moment, it was looking up at Lu Li in a fawning manner, just like a cute kitten, very adorable.
Lu Li reached out his hand and gently stroked the mane of the little beast. The little beast closed its eyes comfortably and soon fell asleep in Lu Li's hand again.
"You are all white. I will call you Little White then!"
Lu Li had taken a liking to this little beast. He left it in the corner and turned around to take a bath to wash off the blood on his body.
When he finished his bath, there was a knock on the door. The Chief Steward of the Guest Clan sent someone to deliver food. He also brought a message from Cheng Qu, asking Lu Li to have a good rest and talk about other matters the next day.
Lu Li enjoyed his meal. After he was full, he thought of the little beast. He picked it up and put it on the table. Pointing to the little beast that had opened its eyes, he said, "Little White, are you hungry?
Eat something, whatever you like. "
Lu Ling sat on the side and looked at the little beast with a smile. The dinner sent by the Liu Family today was very sumptuous with a lot of meat. The little beast should like it, right?
"Squeak, squeak!"
The little beast glanced at it and shook its head with disdain. It had no intention of eating at all.
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other. Both were surprised. If the little beast did not eat meat, did it eat grass?
Lu Li got up and went out to find some carrots and cabbage for the little beast. The little beast was even more disdainful. It jumped off the table and went back to sleep in the corner.
"It doesn't eat anything?"
Lu Li blinked his eyes in confusion and looked at Lu Ling. The latter thought about it and said, "Maybe this little beast is of a higher rank, so the food it eats is special.
Tomorrow, we will find something else for it to try. It is late at night. You should go to bed early. "
"Okay."
Lu Li got up reluctantly. After some thoughts, he carried the little beast back to his room.
Even though the little beast behaved well in all aspects, what if its bestial nature broke out and hurt Lu Ling?
Putting the little beast in his room, Lu Li cultivated with his legs crossed for half the night before falling asleep.
"Crack, crack ~"
At dawn, Lu Li was awakened by a strange sound.
He suddenly sat up and looked towards the source of the sound. After a glance, his hair stood on end. His eyes were wide open as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
