“If that’s the case, we will go and poke around there, who knows maybe we can find it there?”
“Okay, Mother.”
All these silver leopards seemed to be fine now, Hong Yu put down the little leopard from her arms and followed Feng Ruqing to go deeper into the forest.
However, Feng Ruqing stopped walking after quite a distance.
“You guys don’t have to follow me, go and find another place to live and survive. This place is not very safe.”
All the silver leopards stopped. They were staring at Feng Ruqing, all the while.
However, as Feng Ruqing started to move again, all the silver leopards started to follow her again…
“Mother.” Fu Chen tugged Feng Ruqing’s hands. “They want to follow you because they think you have saved their lives.”
“Don’t the silver leopards like to be in a quiet place? The place that I want to go is not quiet, also that place could also be more dangerous than it is here.”
“But… ”
Fu Chen frowned anxiously.
All of these silver leopards just wanted to follow her.
With an elegant and robust pace, the silver leopard king came from the side, toward Feng Ruqing stood in front of her.
It brought its knees to the ground and bowed down low until its forehead touched the ground as if it was worshipping her.
“Mother, what it wishes is that it wants you to be the king of silver leopards.”
Feng Ruqing did not know what to say.
She had just dropped by the Forest of Spirit Beasts, but suddenly, she had become the king of the leopard?
“Also, they won’t leave if you don’t agree to keep them with you. The spirit beasts are always stubborn and inflexible. If they have decided on something, they will never change their minds.”
Feng Ruqing looked at all these silver leopards, which were staring at her. Her heart… eventually softened.
“Do you know? I’ve come to know a lot of people, but the more people you know… the more I prefer those loyal animals.
There was a saying in Hua Xia, “The more people you know, the more you’re like a dog.”
That was her situation, previously.
Other than Che’er, whom she relied her life upon and who had relied upon her as well, all the people she came across, had always… just hurt her.
Even though she had come to Cang Yue Mainland, all the people who followed her were kind enough for her to trust and like them. However, her affection toward spirit beasts never abated.
The spirit beasts were very genuine. For the spirit beasts, evil was evil, good was good, and they would never intrigue each other. Also… If you were kind to them, they would repay you for the rest of their lives.
“It’s okay if you guys want to follow me, but every one of you has to listen to my words.”
The silver leopard king straightened its body and nodded. It stuck its tongue out and licked the back of Feng Ruqing’s hands.
“Let’s go,” Feng Ruqing said calmly as she looked forward into a distance not too far away.

Around a deep and serene pond in the deepest part of the Forest of Spirit Beasts.
Inside that pond, a black dragon was bathing, relaxed.
Its eyelids were half-opened, and its voice sounded lazy but mesmerizing.
“Have you found the person whom I have asked you to look for?”
Next to the black dragon was a little fox holding a fruit plate standing quietly. After it heard black dragon’s words, it howled twice as a response to its question.
“No? Then where has she gone? It shouldn’t have turned out this way. Also, those humans are aware of my weak condition now, and they will definitely take this opportunity to wipe me out, so in the end, they can occupy my Forest of Spirit Beasts. If this is the case, will she still come?”
She would still come.
She would definitely come to save it!
With her kind disposition, if she knew that its body was weak and had also found out that a group of humans wanted to bully it, she would never step aside and sit back to watch.
If it were not because of the slightly unique breakthrough process for the dragon this time, which was strong enough to shake the earth and heaven, the dragon would never have started to hibernate a few years ago. It would not have been so weak now and those humans would never have dared to invade its Forest of Spirit Beasts now.
