"Wh … What?" Ling Cang couldn't react in time.
Ling Yuan patiently told Ling Cang everything that had happened that day. He even told him about the Golden Wind Wolf's evolution and the mysterious little beast that could even kill a rank three spirit beast.
Hearing this, Ling Cang had a look of disbelief on his face. Then he laughed, "God bless my Ling family! God bless my Xiao Er!"
"Father, do you think Xiao Er is a legendary beast tamer?" Ling Yuan guessed.
"How would I know? Let's ask him when he comes back. That brat ran out of the family without saying a word. Even the Great Elder was furious," Ling Cang said with a satisfied smile. He paused for a moment, then said, "Yuan Er, you must be tired from the long journey. Go and rest."
"Father, I'm fine. Oh right, what have the two old foxes been up to lately?" Ling Yuan asked.
"They rarely go out and are extremely cautious. I'm sure they're waiting for an opportunity," Ling Cang replied indifferently, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"Father, why don't you expose them for using the family's treasury to buy poisonous plants? Then we can punish them and kick them out of the family," Ling Yuan asked.
"Now is not the time to beat the grass and alert the snake. We must make good use of this opportunity. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch the snake and will be bitten instead." Ling Cang shook his head as if he already had a plan in mind.
On a road that led from the desolate mountains to Meteorite City.
A Golden Wind Wolf was riding a young man and woman. The young man was carrying a small black bear cub that was less than half a meter tall. It was fluffy and looked very cute.
This group was Ling Xiao and the others who had just left the relay station.
Normal horses would take at least two days to get back to the city from the relay station. Riding the Golden Wind Wolf, it took them less than a night to get back to the city. The city gate was already in sight.
Luo Qingshuang hugged Ling Xiao from behind and said reluctantly, "Brother Xiao, we won't be able to see each other anymore, will we?"
After taking revenge for the black bear and taking back the cub, Ling Xiao felt much better. He replied, "If you miss me, you can come and find me anytime!"
Luo Qingshuang said gently, "I'm a girl, it's embarrassing for me to keep running to your house."
In her heart, she thought that the man should take the initiative and visit her at her home.
"Then why don't you be my personal maid? That way, you can see me every day," Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.
"I hate you so much!" Luo Qingshuang scolded, then bit Ling Xiao's shoulder hard.
"Hiss!
Are you a dog? Your bite hurts so much, "Ling Xiao said, pretending to be in pain.
He had already cultivated the Vajra Five Transformation Technique to the third layer, so being bitten was nothing to him.
Luo Qingshuang touched Ling Xiao's shoulder guiltily and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"Silly, even if you bite me ten more times, I'm not afraid. I'm made of iron." Ling Xiao could hear the reluctance in Luo Qingshuang's voice, so he tried to comfort her.
"Brother Xiao, I've made up my mind. I'm moving to your house!" Luo Qingshuang clenched her fists and made up her mind.
After spending so much time with Ling Xiao, she realized that she had fallen hopelessly in love with Ling Xiao. She didn't want to leave him for even a minute.
Ling Xiao almost fainted at Luo Qingshuang's words.
One had to know that a girl could not casually move into a man's house unless she was a maid or a servant girl. For a daughter of a great family like Luo Qingshuang, if she was not officially married, it would attract criticism and ridicule from others. Moreover, the Luo Family would not be able to maintain their reputation.
"Shuang 'er, don't be impulsive. We still have a lot of time. I'll come to your house to play with you when I'm free," Ling Xiao said seriously. Although he really wanted to take Luo Qingshuang as a maid, he couldn't do it with his current strength. Unless he had the ability to suppress the Luo family's strength, no one would say anything about it.
After all, this was a world of the strong. Only the strong were respected, and only the strong could suppress the secular world.
"You said it, so you can't go back on your word," Luo Qingshuang said with a bright smile.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to reply, the Golden Wolf King said, "Master, there's an enemy. It's the one who escaped from the Illusion Valley. There's another person with him, and his aura is even stronger than his."
Ling Xiao quickly gathered his thoughts and expanded his awareness to its maximum. Indeed, there was an ambush a hundred meters away. According to the Golden Wolf King, one of the people was the leader of the Green Wolf Group, and the other person was even stronger than him. He was probably a Spirit Master, but he didn't know who that person was.
If it was just Ling Xiao alone, he would have turned tail and run. Now that he had the Golden Wolf King and the young Qilin, he could do whatever he wanted in Meteor City, so he didn't have to worry about being ambushed.
Ling Xiao rode the Golden Wolf King until he was fifty meters away from the two of them. He shouted, "Green Wolf, aren't you tired after hiding for so long?"
At this moment, Green Wolf King jumped out from the tall grass and said, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you. You really are the Ling family's Ling Xiao. It's time to settle the grudge in the Illusion Valley."
"Haha, you don't seem to have the qualifications. Please ask that sneaky fellow to come out," Ling Xiao said with a relaxed smile.
A few black figures jumped out from the grass.
Ling Xiao was stunned when he saw this. He had only sensed two people, so how could there be so many?
Ling Xiao carefully looked at the people in front of him. They were all wearing black robes. Except for the short man in the middle, who was wearing a cloak, the other four didn't have the slightest sign of life. Their faces were ashen and frightening, and their eyes were bloodthirsty.
The short cloaked man laughed sinisterly, "Hehe, what a good Level 3 Wolf King. Tall and handsome, just right for my mount."
The short person's voice was very old and hoarse, and it was obvious that he was an old monster that was close to a hundred years old. Furthermore, he didn't seem the slightest bit afraid of the Golden Wolf King, and even seemed to be very excited. It seemed that his strength was quite terrifying.
"Old fogey," Ling Xiao cursed disdainfully.
"Brat, you're courting death!" The short person snorted and waved his withered hand, sending a cloud of black mist towards Ling Xiao.
The black fog was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached Ling Xiao.
At this time, the young Qilin on the Golden Wolf King's head opened its mouth and actually sucked the black mist into its stomach. Then it spat out a dark red flame at the short person.
"Eh? This is the little beast that injured that Li brat?" The short person's body swayed slightly as he dodged the young Qilin's flame.
"It's good that you know. If you know what's good for you, then scram. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!" Ling Xiao snorted.
"Haha, it's been many years since someone has spoken to me like this. You're the first brat. Don't think that you're the only one with a spirit beast and others don't." The short person laughed sinisterly, and with a flash of his arm, a ten-meter long Horned Black Snake appeared in front of him.
This third rank Horned Black Snake would require two people to wrap their arms around it. It was covered in black snakeskin with silver-white patterns. Its body was tall and straight, and it had a triangular head. Its mouth was as big as a basin, and it spat out a long forked tongue. It looked extremely sinister and frightening.
Luo Qingshuang, who was behind Ling Xiao, was frightened by this snake. The Green Wolf beside the short person also retreated a few steps, afraid of being accidentally injured by the snake.
This time, Ling Xiao's expression became serious. He hadn't thought that the Green Wolf would be able to invite such a powerful person to deal with him. It seemed that this battle was unavoidable.
Right now, the sky was still dark, and they were the only ones on the main road. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
"Haha, this black snake is your breakfast. Enjoy it," the short person said softly as he stroked the snake's body.
The Horned Black Snake looked at the Golden Wolf King, and a bloodthirsty light flashed through its eyes. It spat out its long forked tongue, as if provoking the Golden Wolf King.
The Golden Wolf King was also on guard, and it bared its fangs as it howled at the Horned Black Snake.
"Xiao Jin, are you a match for it?" Ling Xiao asked the Golden Wolf King.
"Master, I'll have to fight it to know," the Golden Wolf King replied.
"Alright, be careful," Ling Xiao replied, and then handed the cub to Luo Qingshuang. He then carried both of them down, preparing for the Golden Wolf King to fight with the Horned Black Snake.
"Let's begin. Kill it for me!" the short person ordered as he licked his lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Horned Black Snake scuttled towards the Golden Wolf King. Its speed was shockingly fast.
At the same time, the four lifeless people beside him also charged towards Ling Xiao. The Green Wolf King didn't stay idle either, and raised his heavy blade as he charged towards Ling Xiao.
"Little fellow, come over here. I have food here." The short person took out a few pills from his sleeves and charmingly spoke to the young Qilin on the Golden Wolf King's head.
The pills in his hands were specially refined for spirit beasts, and the medicinal smell they emitted was what spirit beasts liked to eat. He wanted to use this little trick to subdue this little beast.
Unexpectedly, when the young Qilin and the Golden Wolf King bit towards the Horned Black Snake, the young Qilin flew towards the Horned Black Snake first. It flew directly to the Horned Black Snake's neck and bit down.
Hiss, hiss …
The Horned Black Serpent was bitten and immediately thrashed about incessantly, causing the dust on the road to fly up.
"Bastard!"
The short person didn't think that this little beast wouldn't be charmed by him and even hurt his beloved snake. He immediately waved a black iron chain and smashed it towards the little beast.
The young Qilin's reaction was extremely fast. Just as the iron chain was about to smash into it, it flew up. That iron chain ruthlessly smashed onto the body of the Horned Black Snake, causing it to feel endless pain.
At this time, the Golden Wolf King took the opportunity to pounce and bite at the already injured Horned Black Snake.
The short person faced the young Qilin. Every move emitted a frightening black mist, and also contained a large amount of poison. Fortunately, the young Qilin was of the pure fire attribute and wasn't harmed by the poison. It only kept dodging, causing the short person to grit his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
On the other side, Ling Xiao was besieged by a few lifeless high level Mystic cultivators and the Green Wolf King, and fell into a bitter battle.
"Damn it, who are these people? Why aren't they angry?" Ling Xiao brandished his blade and sword, and continuously parried their attacks.
