Chapter 1427: Chapter 728: Yeah, I want to follow you!
Chapter 728
Then Di Chen and the three others saw a strange creature that defied description rush out from the Secret Forest below. Seeing Mo Jiuli perched on the cloud’s back, it kept waving its thick paws, seemingly very happy…
Mo Jiuli and the cloud were used to the enthusiasm of the creature, but Di Chen and the three others, who were not so accustomed to it, kept twitching at the corners of their mouths. Such a large creature making such gestures was indeed a bit hard on the eyes…
“Jiuli, what is this?” Di Chen asked curiously.
“This is a Demon Beast I caught to show us the way in the Death Forest before. I don’t know what kind of beast it is, but it’s very obedient and clever!” Mo Jiuli said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, not only did Di Chen and Mo Xiaoye twitch uncontrollably at the corners of their mouths, but even Murong Lan Hui did the same. Obedient? Clever? Are you sure you’re talking about that fellow below who looks bulkier than a Black Bear…
However, when the cloud landed and everyone saw the creature’s attitude towards Mo Jiuli, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground in shock. Up close, they recognized the origins and the reputation of the creature, and were astonished that it indeed had become obedient and clever! Yet, it was precisely for this reason that the four of them were incredibly shocked, as this did not match the reality they knew…
Watching the creature behaving as docile as a big housecat upon seeing Mo Jiuli, Di Chen and the others had their worldviews thoroughly shaken. What in the world happened for it to end up this way? It was truly horrifying…
“You’ve been away for quite a while; I was bored to death waiting!” the creature said grievously upon seeing Mo Jiuli.
“We were delayed by some matters! Let’s go, to Xuesha City…” Mo Jiuli tossed a few Elixirs into the creature’s mouth as she spoke.
“Okay, I’ll take you there!” the creature said happily.
“Jiuli, do you know what kind of beast it is?” Mo Xiaoye asked while looking at Mo Jiuli.
“Hmm? I don’t know. It didn’t say, and I don’t seem to have seen this kind of Demon Beast before!” Mo Jiuli pondered and replied.
She really hadn’t inquired much into the creature’s identity, but seeing her Master and Ancestor’s expressions now, could it be that this fellow had some extraordinary origins?
Hearing Mo Jiuli’s response, Mo Xiaoye and the others were dumbfounded. You don’t even know what it is, and you let it follow you just like that? How bold can you be…
“Jiuli, this creature is not an ordinary Demon Beast, it’s better not to keep it by your side!” Mo Xiaoye advised as she glanced at the creature on the side.
“Indeed, we can travel to Xuesha City on our own. As for it, Jiuli, perhaps you should let it return to the Death Forest!” Di Chen also chimed in.
“Madam, they’re right! It really isn’t suitable to follow Madam around…” Murong Lan Hui also suggested.
Seeing the four of them all looking very wary, Mo Jiuli became even more curious about this creature. She didn’t understand what kind of beast it was that made her Master and the others take such heed…
After pondering, Mo Jiuli looked at the creature that didn’t seem to care much about Di Chen and the others talking, and asked: “Do you still want to follow me?”
“Yes, I want to follow you!” the creature nodded and replied.
“Then tell me, what kind of beast are you?” Mo Jiuli asked again.
“I am an Ancient Resentful Beast!” the creature looked at Mo Jiuli and answered truthfully; it had already been tamed by Mo Jiuli and harbored no ill will towards her. Naturally, it would answer whatever Mo Jiuli asked.
The creature’s response made Di Chen and the others all frown. Could it be that they were mistaken?
