“Phew! We finally escaped!”
Lou Qianxue felt relieved after she had entered the Mountain River Space. She looked at the little beast in her embrace.
“Little beast, are you still okay?”
Sensing her kindness, the little beast obediently stayed in her arms, unlike how fierce it had been toward those demonic beasts.
When the little beast caught Lou Qianxue looking at it, it mewled and rubbed its soft head against Lou Qianxue.
It appeared as though the little beast was acting cute.
Although Lou Qianxue preferred small, furry animals, when she saw how the little beast responded to her, she felt a bit happy.
However, when she regained her senses and realized that it was not as energetic as when it was born, Lou Qianxue immediately placed the little beast beside the pieces of eggshell that she had pulled back with her vines.
The little beast’s green pupils brightened as it struggled near the eggshell.
Maybe because it was just born, it had a poor sense of balance. When it walked, it seemed like it was flying. As it stumbled forward, it looked like a cute, clumsy beast.
Soon the little beast hugged the eggshell and started eating it.
Crunch! Crunch!
Lou Qianxue stared at the beast. The memories of the Alchemy God and the God of War contained no information about such a beast. However, it had killed a demonic beast above the sixth stage with a mere slap, so she could tell that it was extraordinary.
What kind of creature was it? It didn’t resemble the two pythons that had been guarding it, so they weren’t its parents. The demonic beasts had been glaring at it with a malicious gaze, and if she had left the little beast there, it would’ve been eventually eaten by the beasts.
Hence, she knew she should keep it by her side first.
“Hm? How… is this possible?” Lou Qianxue, who was in his thoughts, had just come to a decision when the scene in front of her eyes shocked her.
As the tiny beast ate the eggshell, its body grew at a visibly rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, it became as tall as her knees.
“This… How could the beast grow so quickly?”
The little beast finished eating the eggshells, and its green pupils swiveled around in a human-like manner. Before Lou Qianxue could react, it turned into a shadow and darted toward somewhere in the Mountain River Space.
In the next moment, the little beast was hugging the beast cores that Lou Qianxue had piled up in the corner. It started crunching them like candies.
Lou Qianxue had collected these beast cores when she was training in the Qingyun Mountain the previous time. She wanted to keep them for alchemy or refining.
“Oh no! My light beast core!” Lou Qianxue immediately reacted and pounced over.
However, she was too late.
The little beast ate extremely quickly. It had devoured the beast core in a short time.
“You!” Lou Qianxue grabbed it by its neck and lifted it. However, she realized that this little beast was quite heavy. “Who let you eat things without permission?”
“Qiu qiu.” The little beast immediately became a cute, mini-sized version of itself. It innocently gazed at Lou Qianxue and blinked. Its long tail wrapped around her wrist and tickled her palm.
Lou Qianxue’s fury vanished. She threw it down and said, “Little beast, you need to compensate me after eating my things, okay?”
Lou Qianxue had only said it casually. However, the chubby little beast, which was mewling softly, actually nodded.
“You!” Lou Qianxue was shocked again. “You can understand me?���
When a high-level beast’s cultivation reached the powerful stage, its spiritual wisdom would increase as well. It might become a legendary being that could speak the human language.
But, no matter how impressive this little thing was, it had been born just a short while ago! Without any human or beast teaching it, how could it understand her words?
This was unbelievable!
