Chapter 97: Mysterious Beast's Sense?

  Iron Winged Leopard, a seventh-grade high-level mysterious beast. Upon entering adulthood, it can fly and its four claws can tear through iron rocks. Its movements are agile and its speed is extremely fast. It is highly intelligent. A mature Iron Winged Leopard's strength can surpass that of an early-stage Heaven Mysterious expert with ease! At its peak, the Iron Winged Leopard can rival a regular eighth-grade mysterious beast. Such high-level mysterious beasts' cubs are hard to come by, and it was unimaginable that Du Gu Xiao Yi actually possessed one.

  But looking at this small body of just over a foot in length, it's clear that this is an Iron Wing Leopard cub that was born not long ago! The Dugu family really has a big hand, actually being able to get such a rare thing for their daughter as a pet! And now, this little Iron Wing Leopard cub is trying its best to climb out of Dugu Xiaoyi's arms. A pair of black eyes are staring at Jun Moxie, with a hint of longing in them!

  "Be good, little white, don't move around. Sister will feed you delicious food soon." Dugu Xiao Yi felt very strange, since three days ago when her father finally managed to bring this little thing back, she had taken a liking to it at first sight; moreover, due to being separated from its mother's body since birth, the little leopard was relatively weak and didn't like to move around much, usually just snuggling in her arms. So why did it suddenly want to come out so desperately today?

  "So his name is Xiao Baibai." Jun Moxie took a glance, smiled and praised: "He's really an adorable little guy." Jun Moxie had always been indifferent to these wild beasts, so he casually replied with a perfunctory sentence, intending to turn around and leave. After all, he still needed to find a way to track down those mysterious assassins.

  As he turned around, the small iron-winged leopard suddenly let out a "squeak" and struggled anxiously in Dugu Xiao Yi's arms, its four delicate paws scratching desperately. The direction of its struggles was surprisingly towards Jun Mo Xie, Young Master Jun.

  "This little guy seems to like you." Du Gu Xiao Yi stared at the round big eyes, somewhat shocked. Since she got this Iron Wing Leopard cub, she had been eating, drinking and sleeping with this little thing, but hadn't seen it being affectionate towards her, today was the first time seeing Jun Mo Xie, how could it be like this? Truly strange!

  "But I don't like it." Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brow, looking at the so-called "Seventh-Order High-Level Mystic Beast" with a slanted gaze. He shook his head regretfully, thinking that this little thing was really too small. If only it could be twice as big, it would barely be enough to make a decent stew.

  Dugu Xiaoyi hummed, not pleased with Jun Moxie's words. After hesitating for a moment, seeing the eager anticipation in her little white pet's eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse and walked up to Jun Moxie, holding the small creature, saying: "Little White likes you so much, hold it for a while. If you can make Little White happy, I'll forgive you for eating my tofu earlier."

  The little iron-winged leopard cub's expression became even more spirited as it got closer to Jun Mo Xie, letting out "wu wu" cries and stretching out its tender paws towards him, just like a baby reaching out for an adult to hug them. Its eyes were filled with longing and delight.

  Jun Mo Xie hesitated for a moment, then let out a sigh in his heart. Having been interrupted like this, he had already lost all hope of tracking down the few assassins, and reluctantly reached out to take it.

  The little leopard jumped into his arms, and suddenly relaxed, stretching its limbs like a lazy cat. It greedily inhaled the scent of Jun Moxie's body several times, letting out a comfortable humming sound from its pink mouth. The fluffy little head rubbed against Jun Moxie's chest, resting comfortably on his chest, and was about to fall asleep. Looking at it like this, it seemed as if it had already made plans for a long-term stay.

  Dugu Xiao Yi's eyes widened in surprise! What, what, what is going on? Although this little thing was small, since it had been handed over to Dugu Xiao Yi by the Dugu family, it seemed that it also knew that Dugu Xiao Yi would be its future master. Even though a formal ceremony with a beast tamer had not yet taken place, it no longer rejected itself. On the contrary, towards anyone other than Dugu Xiao Yi, it was completely uncooperative, even if it was Dugu Wu Di who had brought it back.

  How can you be so close to Jun Moxie on your first meeting? Isn't this a bit too unusual?!

  Actually, Young Master Jun was also at a loss, and felt that this matter was somewhat mysterious and helpless. He looked at the little guy who was preparing to stay with him for a long time, and sighed: "Is this really a mystical beast that will never change once it recognizes its master? Or is it a high-end product at the peak of the seventh rank? How can it be more easily deceived than an ordinary dog? Rumors are unreliable!"

  Dugu Xiaoyi's face turned red with embarrassment, feeling utterly humiliated. With a huff, she took a step forward, about to snatch the little guy from Jun Moxie's arms. This Jun Moxie was too despicable! When others had already let go of his tofu-eating incident, he still wouldn't give himself an out! How detestable!

  But...

  Something even more unbelievable happened: the little guy saw Du Gu Xiao Yi was about to come and take him away, suddenly opened his eyes wide, with hostility in his eyes, making "Woo Woo" sounds, ferociously opening his toothless mouth, while his soft little paws tightly grasped onto Jun Mo Xie's collar, refusing to leave the stranger's embrace.

  Dugu Xiao Yi hugged its body and pulled, but to her surprise, it didn't budge. The four small paws were stuck to Jun Moxie's body as if they had been glued on. As Dugu Xiao Yi was dragged away, the paws still tightly grasped Jun Moxie's collar, refusing to let go, while its mouth let out loud squeaks of extreme unwillingness.

  Dugu Xiao Yi scratched his head and stared at Jun Mo Xie in shock, suddenly blurting out: "Jun Mo Xie, are you its mother?"

  Don't be so surprised, you're suddenly covered in black lines all over your head and face!

  What kind of nonsense is this? Am I its mother? Wouldn't that also make me a beast?

  Don't mention Xiao Yi and Tang Yuan, even Jun Moxie himself was baffled; in fact, the Hongjun Pagoda that Jun Moxie possessed had long ago transformed his body with its purest heavenly energy, and with the miraculous effects of the "Opening Heaven and Earth" technique, Jun Moxie's body was filled to the brim with the most refined spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

  And this pure and extreme heavenly energy, ordinary people and general-level Xuan beasts can't feel it, but for these high-level Xuan beasts, it's the most needed thing for their growth! Especially for these young high-level Xuan beasts, it's an irresistible fatal temptation!

  It took a lot of effort to finally get the little guy off me, and my clothes were even torn with two big holes.

  Don't be anxious about him, he's in a hurry to get it back. He hastily threw it into Xiaoyi's arms. "Here, take good care of it."

  Lonely Little Art hastily and carefully caught him, glaring at him with a scowl: "Can't you be gentler? What if he got hurt?"

  The little guy was held in Dugu Xiao's arms, struggling and crying out, desperately trying to get closer to Jun Mo Xie. His eyes were even wet with tears, looking very resentful. Dugu Xiao's heart softened at the sight, and he was about to hand him over again. But Jun Mo Xie was startled, jumped back, and stood far away, awkwardly saying: "It's late, I'll leave first." Then he turned around and hastily left.

  Dugu Xiao Yi stomped her foot in annoyance, muttered a couple of sentences, and suddenly scolded the little leopard in her arms: "It's all your fault, how can you be so useless? Is he your mother or father?"

  The little leopard opened its big eyes and looked at her innocently, suddenly lowered its head, looking very lost as it watched Jun Mo Xie leave, making a low "Woo Woo" sound in its mouth, listlessly leaning against her chest, without any energy left.

  "Alright, alright, I'll take you to see him in a few days." Dugu Xiao Yi said. The little leopard was still far from being able to understand the spiritual realm, so it naturally didn't understand what she was saying and had no reaction at all. Instead, it was Dugu Xiao Yi herself who, after speaking those words, suddenly felt a thrill of excitement in her heart, followed by a wave of embarrassment, and she couldn't even figure out why that was.

  "Huh? Where's Ling Meng Gongzhu? She was just with me, how did she suddenly disappear?" Du Gu Xiao Yi only then realized that her sister had vanished, and couldn't help but furrow her brow in surprise. She complained a couple of times: "Leaving without even telling me, this is... too much!"

  Jun Mo Xie, accompanied by his guards, bid farewell to Tang Yuan and headed in the direction of Jun Manor. After turning a corner, he found a sedan chair quietly waiting ahead, surrounded by dozens of guards who were protecting it with an even stronger formation than before. Standing in front of the sedan chair was a solitary figure, exuding an aura of loneliness and desolation: Ye Qian Yu!

  Ling Meng princess was actually waiting for him here!

  "It's actually Princess Ling Meng in person? Indeed, life is full of unexpected encounters, and it's truly fate that we meet again." Jun Mo Xie raised an eyebrow in surprise, his gaze shooting over like a cold, electric current as he spoke. Listening to his smooth words, Ye Gu Hansheng couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  "Don't be rude, I have something serious to discuss with you." Princess Ling Meng slowly emerged from the sedan chair, her face icy cold, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed in disgust, her entire demeanor radiating a chilling rejection.

  Are you looking for me with a serious matter? Is there anything not serious about it? When asking someone for something, one should be polite and courteous. How can you still put on this face in front of me? Don't have evil intentions in your heart while showing a delighted expression on your face: "Fate brings us together from thousands of miles away, Your Highness has something to instruct, no matter if it's serious or not, I'll definitely do my best... Ah! Is it that the princess finally responded to my infatuation and wants me to be her husband? It's really pitiful, heaven grants human wishes, heaven plays tricks on humans..." A string of nonsense came out of his mouth!

  "A cold hum of loneliness and killing intent shot out from his eyes, he shouted: 'How dare you! You actually dare to speak nonsense, truly presumptuous!'"

  "How dare you! You're really overstepping your bounds!" Jun Mo Xie retorted fiercely, "What are you? I'm discussing serious matters with the princess here, what right do you have to interrupt, you nameless little soldier?"

  Jun Mo Xie would certainly not forget Ye Guhan, and the thing that left the deepest impression on him was indeed Ye Guhan. However, it wasn't because of his exceptional martial arts skills, but rather because of what he said when he was about to die - praising the suicidal assassin leader with the words: "Good man!" This ridiculously naive evaluation made Jun Mo Xie feel a chill towards this fellow practitioner, and naturally left a deep impression on him, as well as contempt.

  Ye Gu Han's eyes suddenly fixed on Young Master Jun, the atmosphere around them instantly becoming extremely heavy. A bleak and desolate aura suddenly rose up, this was Ye Gu Han's prelude to furious killing!
