Chapter 23: Chapter 22: Life and BackgroundAfter the mountain pig incident, Yun Sheng returned home with several pieces of prime Demon Beast Meat. After explaining to her father the origins of the Demon Beast Meat, Yun Sheng cut some of it into small pieces, carefully feeding them to Little Black. Today, she was able to escape unscathed from the mountain, thanks much to Little Black. After such a life and death ordeal, the bonds of camaraderie between Yun Sheng and Little Black clearly solidified a great deal. You don't realize the difference until you compare them, and Yun Sheng quickly remembered her official Summoned Beast, this damned egg! In the Yun family's cottage, the oil lamp was quickly extinguished. Yun Sheng tiptoed out of the house to an empty space by the Medicine Field. After the Magic Array lit up, a good while later, that winged egg finally appeared. This time, the egg's wings were closed, emitting a loud snoring sound. Damn, it was actually sleeping. Seeing this, Yun Sheng was even more infuriated and gave the Bobbie a cracking smack. The latter finally woke up, rubbing its sleepy eyes, and upon seeing it was Yun Sheng summoning him, immediately started prancing about, "Bo Bo, dear master, were you thinking of me? Bo Bo missed master a lot." "What kind of War Beast are you? I almost died today, if not for Little Black, you wouldn't have a master anymore," Yun Sheng's eyes nearly shot out flames as she wasn't in the slightest amused. "Bo Bo, Sky Swallowing Mastiff!" Upon seeing the cool-looking Little Black lying nearby, Bo Bo's eyes filled with love hearts, and with a flip of its egg body, leaped towards Little Black. Little Black showed a trace of impatience, this egg was too noisy. Mastiffs, mixed breeds of dogs and wolves, are proud and unyielding by nature, indifferent to anyone other than their owner. Little Black lifted its chubby paw and swatted it down, trying to push Bobbie away. Little did it know that it severely underestimated Bobbie's strength, and with the egg crushing over him, Little Black felt darkness in front of its eyes as its body was pressed directly into the ground by Bobbie. "Bo Bo, what did you just say Little Black was?" Yun Sheng had already adopted Little Black, but even the most experienced hunters in the village couldn't recognize Little Black's Rank. "Heavenly Mastiff, a Demon Beast variant with an Eight Desolate Bloodline. But, master, if you have the Heavenly Mastiff, do you not need Bo Bo anymore? Bo Bo is prettier, and stronger," Bobbie whimpered as it revolved pitifully around Yun Sheng. "He is not my Demon Beast; he is my companion. Remember, Bo Bo, from now on, he is my companion just like you," Yun Sheng hadn't contracted Little Black as her own cultivation wasn't strong enough to contract a second Demon Beast, nor did she want to enslave Little Black. Little Black crawled out from the earth, shaking off the dust on its body, its face's disdain towards Bobbie turning to wariness. If it could speak, it would definitely swear at this moment, Madan, what kind of cursed egg is this. Under Yun Sheng's guidance, Bobbie promised that the next time Yun Sheng summoned it, it would immediately pop out with a swoosh. The night sky was pitch black, as if a tray of ink had been spilled, and the night in the mountain village was serene yet beautiful. In the Magic Temple of Banana Leaf Village, the abdomen of the female Golden Rhinoceros Pig had been slit open. Ye Beiming's slender fingers probed into the interior of the Golden Rhinoceros Pig, and after some searching, its heart was pulled out. The heart of an adult Golden Rhinoceros Pig was the size of two adult fists, covered by dense blood vessels. Ye Beiming exerted a slight force in his finger, and his heart immediately shattered into two halves, its inside was just like a leaking sieve, covered in pinhole-sized perforations. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This is... Only the stage where fighting spirit transforms into energy, a realm that even Martial Venerates struggle to reach. Is it her? Ye Beiming was the last one to act, and as he rescued Yun Sheng, he discovered that the Golden Rhinoceros Pig had already died. Before Yun Sheng woke up, he had already checked, and there were no fatal wounds on the body of the Golden Rhinoceros Pig. Generally, if a Demon Beast is dead but without fatal wounds, the only reasons could be a Magic Attack or the most mysterious Martial Arts technique of transforming fighting spirit into energy which refines one's fighting spirit so exquisitely that it can kill invisibly and imperceptibly. Ye Beiming faintly remembered, during the last instant when he was outwitted by Yun Sheng, a strange force had also entered his body. Capable of summoning Demon Beasts? Although failing in the summoning. Capable of using mysterious fighting spirit, yet appearing frail, Yun Sheng, who exactly are you? While Ye Beiming was deep in thought, footsteps were heard outside his room. When Great Mage Yang pushed the door and entered, he spoke in a mocking tone, "You disappeared for the whole day today, where did you go?" "Hunting in the mountains. Didn't you say we were short on soul stones?" Ye Beiming flicked his hand, and a twenty-year soul stone landed in Great Mage Yang's hand. He had harvested a soul stone from the body of a female Golden Rhinoceros Pig. "A twenty-year-old soul stone, aren't you fooling a child here? To enhance my cultivation, I need a two-hundred-year Demon Beast Soul Stone. What bad luck, I had clearly predicted that there would be an exceptionally powerful Demon Beast Magic Soul awakening near Banana Leaf Village and thus I requested to come here. Only to find not even a trace of a powerful demon beast aura," Great Mage Yang complained, revealing that his purpose for coming here was not simple. Even so, Great Mage Yang still pocketed the Earth Element soul stone, yet he was not satisfied. "In a few days, make a trip to Yuewu Mountain and help me find a two-hundred-year soul stone," Yuewu Mountain, being the nearest Demon Beast mountain range to Banana Leaf Village, was known for its abundant Mid-level Demon Beasts. Ye Beiming gave no response, his silence conveying his reluctance. "Not going? Don't tell me you don't plan to cure your eyes, as only I, in this whole world, have the ability to heal your congenital blindness," Great Mage Yang laughed mockingly, like a harsh crow's caw. Congenital blindness refers to those born blind, incurable even by Holy Magic. Although Ye Beiming never spoke of it, his heart always longed to regain his sight. His mind was constantly filled with memories of losing everything that should have been his due to his blindness, until Great Mage Yang appeared. He had said that he could cure his eyes. If he could see... past events flashed through his mind. The cold-hearted Emperor, the palace attendants gossiping behind his back, the girl who left decisively, the ridicule from his older brother. Ye Beiming's brows furrowed deeply, fists clenched tightly, and the expression in his foggy eyes remained ambiguous. After a long while, he finally unclenched his fists, said nothing, and left the Magic Temple like a whirlwind. "This kid, his power seems to be growing stronger. If this continues, I fear I won't be able to control him. I must speed up the drawing of that Magic Array. By doing so, my many years of effort will finally come to fruition," Great Mage Yang thought secretly to himself.
