"What meat! You're already a demon beast in the Nascent Soul stage! You've long since achieved the ability to subsist on qi and have no need for food, have you?! You only know how to eat all day, why don't you cultivate diligently to ascend early?! As a high-level demon beast with aspirations, you're simply wallowing in degeneracy!"
Saber-toothed tiger: No! I have no aspirations! I'm willing to be degenerate! I want to be a good-for-nothing!
Seeing that he remained silent, the little sprout sighed helplessly, waving her hand to release a vast expanse of pure spiritual energy, making all the demon beasts present squint their eyes in comfort…
"I know you're carnivores, but you must understand that there aren't many demon beasts in this land to begin with. If you eat them all, what will happen to your offspring? You'll ascend sooner or later, what if you get too fat to ascend? Even if you do ascend, what if you're targeted by other beasts? You'll eventually be captured and made into roasted meat if you're this fat!"
The beasts listened intently, a flicker of confusion in their eyes. Something didn't seem quite right, yet it sounded incredibly logical!
Seeing this, the little sprout spread her hands, her face displaying an expression of "I'm doing this all for your own good."
"So! You must cultivate diligently and stop thinking about eating meat all day! As a demon beast with ideals and ambitions, you'll surely ascend quickly. Just bring me along then! Heehee! We're friends, we share fortunes and hardships, aren't I also not eating meat."
Long Li Xing, who had just landed: "…"
Perhaps, letting the baby out on her own to train was a mistake!
If Jin Bao'er knew that her obedient and sensible baby had turned into this glib-tongued girl, would she die of anger?
However, no matter what she thought! Since he had promised to send the baby back, he would definitely do so!
"It seems you've been living quite well here?"
The little sprout had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard the voice and didn't react, subconsciously nodding.
"It's alright! So you all need to cultivate well! Strive to ascend early…"
Her voice trailed off. She suddenly turned her head, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at the man in black before her! Those purple eyes, that gaze, that aura, that demeanor, that tone…
"Ah!! Wah wah!! Uncle Long!! You're finally here to pick me up!!"
As she spoke, she darted out in a flash, her target being the man's thigh!
A pair of large hands reached out, directly grabbing her by the fur collar and lifting her into the air like a cat! There was a hint of disdain…
"I see you've been quite happy playing the mountain king?"
Only then did the demon beasts realize a stranger had appeared, their bodies instantly tensing, their beastly pupils contracting! They stared at him vigilantly, a chorus of threatening growls erupting, accompanied by the oppressive aura of numerous demon beasts…
In contrast, Long Li Xing shifted his gaze, his cold purple eyes sweeping over them one by one, exuding an imposing presence without anger!
Yet, even though he did nothing, the demon beasts who met his gaze were terrified. Their bowed bodies instinctively lowered, and fear flickered in their eyes… But upon seeing the small figure in his hand, the beasts hesitated!
For a moment, no demon beast retreated!
Long Li Xing was slightly surprised by this and looked at the plump, rosy-cheeked little girl in his hand. Though somewhat dirty, she was undeniably well-fed and fair-skinned…
"I'm here to take you to the Upper Realm! You have one quarter of an hour!"
With that, he directly tossed the little girl over. The saber-toothed tiger leaped up without hesitation to catch her, its broad back gently cushioning the little girl! The movement was so graceful it was hard to believe it was a carnivorous demon beast filled with beastly nature!
The little girl understood his meaning and was filled with surprise and excitement! She turned and cheerfully bid farewell to her little friends!
She stretched out her plump little hand, and the giant saber-toothed tiger before her understood instinctively, lowering its head to let her pat it…
"Good job, Da Huang. My family is here to take me home! You must also cultivate diligently in the future and strive to ascend early! We'll meet again someday!"
The saber-toothed tiger's expression was dejected. As a demon beast that had lived for over a hundred years, it naturally understood her meaning! She was leaving…
Although this little girl was willful and foolish, they had spent nearly ten years together, and they had formed a bond! The parting had come so suddenly. It had thought it would take at least another hundred years for it to ascend! It never expected her family to be able to descend to find her!
This also proved the man's strength! Thinking of this, it suddenly regretted something. If only it had cultivated diligently back then, perhaps it would have ascended in another twenty years!
Seeing that it remained silent, the little girl sighed helplessly and then turned to bid farewell to her other companions one by one!
When the quarter of an hour was up! Long Li Xing waved his hand again and seized her in his palm. Ignoring the little girl's reluctant gaze, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky…
A group of demon beasts walked out of the cave, looking up at the sky in silence! Human-like emotions flickered in their beastly pupils! Until the saber-toothed tiger rushed out, its massive yellow form soaring towards the sky! At the last moment of the streak of light's disappearance, it mustered all its strength and let out a furious roar to the sky!
"ROAR!!"
At the same moment, the streak of light completely vanished from the continent!
The tiger's roar echoed through the surroundings, filled with reluctance and urgency! But the bold hand that had stroked its head was no longer there…
At this moment, the little girl vaguely seemed to hear a familiar tiger roar. When she looked back, she found only a vast expanse of white behind her… She shook her head, thinking it must have been an illusion.
Then, thinking of reuniting with Jin Bao'er soon, she was both happy and sad…
Anyone would be sad if they were suddenly abandoned for so many years! Her big sister really didn't want her anymore. Thinking of this, she felt like crying! Fortunately, hardships had ended, and they could finally be reunited!
Then, she secretly glanced at the man with an expressionless face and thought to herself with a mischievous glint…
Hey! It's all Uncle Long's fault for separating her from her big sister. When they get back, she'll definitely complain to him properly! Thinking of making Uncle Long suffer, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle…
Meanwhile, Long Li Xing, who was rapidly traversing the continent's barrier, didn't fail to notice the little girl's sly thoughts in his hand. A faint gleam flashed in his eyes!
*
Jin Bao'er waited where she was. The ascension gate had settled down! The cultivators from the Upper Realm certainly wouldn't dare to provoke her at this time!
A Heavenly Dao expert who could wield the power of the Great Dao… A few months ago, they would never have believed it! But after witnessing Jin Bao'er's bombardment of the Heavenly Dao avatar just now, they could only suppress their shock…
The Dragon Ancestor had appeared! Jin Bao'er could indeed wield the power of the Great Dao! The ascension gate was like nothing in their eyes! Any one of these three pieces of news was a shocking discovery for the Upper Realm.
They couldn't help but ponder if they had done anything in recent years to anger the Dragon Ancestor and Jin Bao'er. Their expressions were extremely complex.
Soon, someone emerged…
The person who came out was wearing a long, slender grey and white striped robe. They had a tall, slender build and handsome features!
