"Ah!"
Ye Tianjing exclaimed, and even he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat in this situation.
Roar!
The Green-Furred Beast also let out a loud roar. Although it didn't open its mouth to bite, the saliva dripping from its jaws indicated that it was eager to taste this rare food before it.
The scene fell silent for a moment as the human and beast stared at each other in shock...
Whoosh!
It was unclear whether Ye Tian moved first or the beast suddenly lunged, but all that could be heard was a whistle as Ye Tian appeared several feet away, narrowly avoiding the deadly bite.
"That was close! When did it get behind me?"
Ye Tian thought to himself in alarm. The danger of such a massive creature appearing silently behind him was self-evident.
Seemingly surprised by the speed of its prey's escape, the Green-Furred Beast blinked in confusion, releasing a puff of white breath from its nostrils.
Ye Tian looked down at the Azure Royal Heaven Vine in his hand, then raised his gaze to examine the Green-Furred Beast thoroughly. Finally, he made up his mind.
"With the spirit herb in hand and the beast being troublesome, it's time to make a run for it!"
With that thought, Ye Tian took a deep breath, waved and smiled at the Green-Furred Beast, then turned and ran.
Roar!
The beast, still blinking at Ye Tian in surprise, didn't expect this guy to suddenly take off running. In an instant, it seemed to be filled with rage; after letting out a strange cry, it also took off on all fours, chasing after him madly.
A human and a beast—one fleeing and one pursuing—raced through the rugged mountain path like two swirling winds, rushing forward with howling whispers.
The clothes rustled as Ye Tian ran wildly, constantly glancing back.
Behind him, the Green-Furred Beast hopped along. Although its movements were awkward, it was keeping pace with him without any sign of slowing down.
"Are you crazy? Why are you chasing me? I'm not even tasty!"
In the midst of his escape, Ye Tian couldn't help but shout back at the beast.
Roar!
The Green-Furred Beast, far from being angered by Ye Tian's "accusation," actually seemed quite pleased. It leaped high into the air like a green ball and then chased after him with even more enthusiasm, barking joyfully as it ran.
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly, focusing on a towering ancient tree. With a Spirit Swallow Transformation, he leaped and landed on the high trunk of the tree.
Sizzle...
Ye Tian's sudden change in direction caught the beast off guard. It frantically pushed against the ground with its limbs to try to slow down its momentum. Its sharp claws scraped against the ground, creating a hissing sound while leaving deep marks behind.
Bang!
Clearly, this abrupt stop did not work well; the beast crashed into the tree like a green ball, producing a loud thud.
Whew...
Dazed, the Green-Furred Beast shook its head and lay on the ground for a moment before looking up at Ye Tian.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing that scene made Ye Tian burst into laughter. Although the beast wanted to eat him, its clumsy and goofy demeanor was quite endearing.
Whew...
The Green-Furred Beast stared at Ye Tian with wide eyes, continuously snorting as bubbles of snot formed and popped in an endless cycle.
With a glance, Ye Tian felt somewhat helpless towards the seemingly foolish beast that actually harbored ill intentions.
Looking up at the sky, he noticed the sun was high above, and before he knew it, it was already noon.
Self-deprecatingly, he slapped his forehead and thought, "Am I really so idle... that I spent half a day racing with this stupid creature..."
Thinking this, Ye Tian resolutely decided to ignore it. He made a face at the beast and said, "Go play by yourself!"
After saying that, he shot up into the sky like a bird, soaring gracefully in midair. Whenever he felt exhausted, he activated Spirit Swallow Transformation and with a roar, soared into the sky once more.
Roar!
Watching the figure in the sky, the Green-Furred Beast's eyes flickered with a hint of reluctance. It stretched out its tongue to lick the large tree where Ye Tian had just been, then squatted on the ground and began to roar continuously.
From his vantage point in the sky, Ye Tian looked down and felt a slight twinge in his heart. He couldn't shake the feeling that the beast had only wanted to lick him and never had any thoughts of treating him as food...
"Sigh... Perhaps we'll meet again."
Ye Tian sighed lightly, suddenly accelerating his speed until he soon vanished into the dense forest.
...
By the time he returned to the estate, it was already afternoon. Throughout the journey, Ye Tian had been distracted, his mind occupied with thoughts of the Green-Furred Beast's silly appearance...
"Hahaha! Kid, you're back!"
A hearty laugh reached his ears, pulling Ye Tian back to reality. Without needing to look, he knew it was undoubtedly Leng Wanli.
"Grandpa Leng." Ye Tian smiled at him and pushed aside thoughts of the beast.
"Kid, the food and drinks are untouched; we've been waiting for you!"
"Come on! Let's drink until we can't anymore!" Leng Wanli pulled Ye Tian along without hesitation toward the house.
"Good!" Ye Tian was also in high spirits. The Azure Royal Heaven Vine was finally in hand, and Leng Wanli's injuries would soon be healed. Such joyous occasions called for a few drinks.
In no time, the two of them had entered the room and taken their seats.
"What a feast!" Ye Tian exclaimed as he looked at the table full of dishes, taking a deep sniff.
The aroma wafted over, instantly filling his stomach, and Ye Tian couldn't help but praise it, his appetite greatly stirred.
"Hehe, how about that!" Leng Wanli said proudly, as if he had prepared all the food himself.
Of course, the dishes were not made by Leng Wanli; Ye Tian knew this well. He glanced at the old man and then picked up his chopsticks to grab some food.
Clang!
With a clear sound, the old man knocked the chopsticks out of Ye Tian's hand and put on a fierce expression. "You unruly brat! I haven't even touched my chopsticks yet; how dare you start eating?"
"Haha! Grandpa Leng, don't joke with me. You haven't touched your chopsticks?" Ye Tian laughed heartily, staring intently at Leng Wanli as if interrogating him.
"I haven't!" Leng Wanli avoided his gaze, raising an eyebrow and declaring loudly.
"Then what's this?" Ye Tian pointed at a stewed fish on the plate and smiled.
"Haha! You have sharp eyes!" The old man could no longer keep up the act and laughed as he patted Ye Tian's shoulder. He then flipped the plate to reveal the side that had been completely stripped of fish meat.
"Grandpa Leng, why are you acting like a child?" Ye Tian teased.
"Go away! I waited for you for so long; do you expect me to starve? Besides, if the fish gets cold, it will taste fishy. Look at how I haven't eaten anything else," Leng Wanli insisted, appearing quite satisfied with his excuse.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm not going to argue with you; I'm starving." Ye Tian rolled his eyes at him and began to eat on his own.
Having chased after beasts all morning, Ye Tian was extremely hungry now. He devoured the food like a whirlwind, and in no time, the entire table of dishes was wiped clean.
Leng Wanli stared in astonishment at this scene, his mouth agape in shock.
Bang!
The chopsticks were heavily slammed on the table, and Ye Tian patted his bulging belly, burping, "Alright, I'm full!"
"That's good... that's good..." Leng Wanli nodded involuntarily, facing the mess of plates and bowls, unable to say anything else.
"Grandpa Leng, let's have a drink!" Ye Tian was full and prepared to toast with Leng Wanli to celebrate. As for the Azure Royal Heaven Vine matter, he would surprise him later.
"Okay!" Upon hearing about drinking, Leng Wanli instantly perked up, lifted the wine jar towards Ye Tian, shouted "Cheers!" loudly, and then began to gulp it down.
Seeing this, Ye Tian laughed heartily and didn't hold back either; he mimicked the old man's actions and started drinking heavily.
Over the past few days, Ye Tian's alcohol tolerance had skyrocketed. After this continuous practice of drinking, he could easily finish a large jar in one go!
After an unknown amount of time, the table was already filled with wine jars. The two of them drank until they were drunk and continued drinking until not only had the sun set, but miraculously, they had even sobered up...
At this moment, the two were sitting cross-legged on the Pavilion, enjoying the early spring evening breeze.
"Kid, have you practiced the Bagua Seal?" Leng Wanli squinted his eyes and casually asked.
"I have," Ye Tian nodded and slowly began to perform the hand gestures.
Leng Wanli glanced at him and upon seeing the not-so-fast speed, chuckled, "Just learned it, huh?"
"I learned it a long time ago." Ye Tian didn't notice the old man's gaze and continued to casually change his hand gestures.
Regarding Ye Tian's seemingly aimless hand gestures, Leng Wanli mistakenly thought that was all he could do. He chuckled and patted the young man's shoulder, saying, "Not bad. Although the speed is slow, it looks very smooth."
"Hehe, right?" Ye Tian was slightly taken aback by the words about being slow but then secretly laughed to himself without refuting it.
"Kid, how about I show you something?" Leng Wanli looked at Ye Tian with a proud expression.
Nodding his head, Ye Tian was indeed eager to see what level of mastery Leng Wanli had achieved in Bagua Seal Palm as someone who once was a Martial Sovereign.
"Open your eyes and watch closely!" With a loud shout from Leng Wanli, his fingers moved like agile snakes, and in just a breath, Nine Seals had already landed on the nearby wooden fence.
"Well~~" Ye Tian elongated his tone, mimicking the earlier actions, and nodded, saying, "Not bad. Although the speed is slow, it looks very smooth."
Upon hearing this, Leng Wanli was taken aback for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, "You little brat, you mimic quite well! But I wonder if you can match my speed!"
His fingers quickly pointed again, executing Nine Seals once more. Then he provocatively looked at Ye Tian.
"Hehe." Ye Tian smiled mysteriously and confidently said, "Piece of cake."
With that, the young boy cracked his fingers and lightly tapped the wooden fence.
Nine Seals, in the blink of an eye!
As Ye Tian retracted his finger, Leng Wanli's mouth had opened to an extreme degree, staring in astonishment at the boy before him. It took him a full moment to recover from his shock. Slowly, he pulled something out from his pocket and said joyfully, "I was worried you couldn't handle it, but now it seems... this Bagua Thunder Seal, no one from the Cold Family throughout history is more qualified to cultivate it than you..."
