Behind the little rabbit, there were still a few massive creatures following.
And a few other miscellaneous demonic beasts.
The little rabbit plopped down on the ground, crossing its legs.
Seeing this, the human-faced lion beside it lay down on the ground and carefully began massaging the rabbit's shoulders with its lion paws.
This scene left Lin Youwei and the others dumbfounded.
However, even though it was just a rabbit, they dared not underestimate it.
"Everyone, we are array masters from the Array Realm, sent by our master Chen Xianxuan to carry out a mission in the mountains. We mean no harm to you and hope you can grant us passage," Lin Youwei said, clasping her hands together.
"Humans, I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, or what you’re doing. From this moment on, you are not to take another step forward," the little rabbit said, narrowing its eyes slightly.
Lin Youwei’s expression darkened. Judging by the rabbit’s attitude, she knew that direct passage was out of the question.
To avoid wasting time, she directly took out the token given to her by Chen Xianxuan.
"If I’m not mistaken, this area belongs to the Sky Lion Territory. My master Chen Xianxuan once made an agreement with the various lords of the mountains to facilitate mutual cooperation, including the Sky Lion Lord. This is the token of proof. Please deliver it to the Sky Lion Lord."
"When he sees the token, he will grant us passage."
the little rabbit merely glanced at it sideways.
"That thing of yours is useless. I don’t care about any lords or agreements. I’ll say it again: turn around and go back where you came from."
The little rabbit’s voice grew firmer, leaving no room for doubt.
Lin Youwei couldn’t help but frown.
A wave of anger rose in her heart. This little rabbit, relying on its cultivation, was far too arrogant.
Even though she knew they stood no chance in a fight, thinking of the mission she was tasked with, she couldn’t help but say with a stern face, "Sir, this is the Sky Lion Territory. It’s the Sky Lion Lord who has the final say here, not you, right?"
"I suggest you inform the Sky Lion Lord."
"Don’t let this matter lead to a misunderstanding between the Array Realm and the Sky Lion Lord. You wouldn’t want to bear the responsibility for that, would you?"
"Don’t let the Sky Lion Lord punish you…"
Lin Youwei’s words were neither too harsh nor too soft.
They were just right.
They didn’t provoke the little rabbit directly, but they also conveyed her meaning clearly.
anyone who wasn’t a fool would know what to do.
But the little rabbit’s reaction was beyond her expectations. It threw its head back and laughed heartily.
"The Sky Lion Lord punishing me? That would be quite something, wouldn’t it, Sky Lion Lord?" As it spoke, the little rabbit turned its gaze to the human-faced lion massaging its shoulders.
Feeling the rabbit’s gaze, the human-faced lion shuddered, its fur standing on end, and it quickly prostrated itself on the ground.
"Lord Rabbit, I know nothing. I’m just a humble little lion by your side, as adorable as you are."
The little rabbit nodded in satisfaction and turned its head back to look at Lin Youwei and the others.
Lin Youwei and the others were thunderstruck.
Their jaws nearly hit the ground as they stared fixedly at the human-faced lion massaging the rabbit’s shoulders.
"He… he’s the Sky Lion Lord?"
Lin Youwei’s body trembled, her legs shaking, and her voice stuttered out, filled with disbelief.
"Is there a problem?"
The little rabbit said leisurely.
Lin Youwei wiped the sweat from her brow, realizing that passing through the Sky Lion Territory today was completely out of the question.
She could only lead her group away in defeat.
After retreating, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Youwei.
Lin Youwei furrowed her brows and then said, "The reshuffling of power in the Sky Lion Territory is something no one could have anticipated. As for that little rabbit being the new lord, it’s only natural that it’s unaware of the agreement between the Array Realm and the lords of the Tianlan Mountains."
"This is purely a matter of luck, so there’s no need for everyone to worry. We can simply bypass the Sky Lion Territory and enter through another lord’s domain."
"It’ll just take a bit more time, that’s all."
the gloom on everyone’s faces immediately lightened.
As Lin Youwei had said, if the Sky Lion Territory’s power structure had changed, they could just go around it. It wasn’t as if every lord in the mountains had been replaced, right?
The group regained their morale, changed direction, and set off toward another path.
