Chapter 94 I can't, I'm too weak

After leaving the arena, Su Yu carried the naturally born magical beast that had deliberately bumped into him back to the bedroom that Zhao Si had prepared for the Ghost Lord.

In truth, Zhao Si wasn't sure if the Ghost Lord would actually stay, but he still had to put on a show of being dedicated and conscientious.

This place is free from demonic interference, making it an ideal spot to converse with naturally born magical beasts.

Su Yu placed the docile cub on the table.

He had disguised himself and thought he had hidden his demonic aura quite well, but he was still recognized. This cub of a born demonic beast really has a keen sense of smell.

"My little darling, right? Should I take you back to Miss Yuan's place?"

Jingdian had been unhappy with the name for a long time, but Yuan Shengshuang couldn't understand beast language, so its protests had no effect.

Now, facing the Moon Demon, it can finally proudly proclaim its name!

Su Yu sighed, "Alright, then please tell me."

The good reputation that the Moon Demon has built up among the natural monsters cannot be ruined in his hands.

Then the little leopard started meowing and telling him about its important matter, looking serious, which Su Yu found quite endearing.

He moved his fingers slightly.

This little leopard wanted to sneak into the Xue family to find the sacred beast, but it was worried that the Xue family demons would find out and capture it. However, today, it just so happened that the surprise gift package—the Moon Demon bloodline, which is always happy to help those born with magical beasts—was right in front of it. So it followed the scent and came to ask for help.

“I know the rules. You can ask me for the corresponding reward,” Jingdian said with a serious expression on his leopard-like face. He raised a paw to hold down Su Yu’s approaching hand and raised his head, saying, “Hmph, can’t you Moon Demons be a little more reserved?”

Su Yu can now easily ignore the innate sounds of magical beasts and focus directly on the meaning behind their words.

He raised an eyebrow: "What, have you seen other Moon Demons?"

Jingdian glanced at him and said, "It has been nearly a thousand years since the Moon Demon died last time. Only one Moon Demon has appeared since then. If it weren't for our inherited memories, we would hardly be able to smell the Moon Demon anymore."

Su Yu feigned surprise: "You actually know so much about this?"

The little leopard proudly declared, "Of course! I'm the Snow-Treading Crystal Leopard!"

The sacred beast of Snow Crystal City.

Su Yu's smile froze, and she was already thinking of turning around and leaving.

Things are a bit complicated. He has a family to support and is also injured, so he doesn't really want to get involved.

Jingdian let out a "woof" and bit his slowly retracting sleeve, mumbling, "Quickly tell me what kind of reward you want, and then our deal is done!"

Su Yu declined, saying, "It's not about the pay; I don't think I'm capable of doing this job."

"I can't, I'm too weak."

"You can do it! You've grown up in Shanghai for a whole month, how could you be weak!?"

"I can't, I'm too weak."

"You can!! Aww, are you just trying to fool me? Aww, aww, aww!"

Jingdian became enraged and started yelling at Su Yu.

Su Yu slowly raised her hand and covered her ears.

Jingdian was so angry that he jumped up and down, howling and yelling, until he got close to the edge of the table.

Su Yu quickly grabbed it and put the little leopard back on the table.

The little leopard lay down silently, looking like it had just been frightened and was listless.

Su Yu bent down, peering in curiously: "Were you scared to tears?"

"No, it's not from being scared, waaaaaah, I'm about to die, of course I have to cry, if I don't cry now I'll be too late when I die, waaaaah..."

Su Yu felt a little guilty for teasing the child too much, so she patted the little leopard and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Even if you fall, you won't die. This table is low, you'll be fine."

"That's not it! I'm referring to my true form within the Yuki family!"

Su Yu coldly withdrew her hand.

This leopard is older than its parents, how dare it pretend to be a cub here?

Jingdian buried her head in her paws and pretended to cry, but suddenly realized that the air was completely silent and the comforting hands on her body had been removed.

The air was cold and indifferent, devoid of comfort or care.

Was its strategy shift unsuccessful?

Jingdian pulled his head out from between the claws in shock.

What's wrong with the Demon this month? Wasn't it just being all tender and affectionate towards it a moment ago?

This month, the demon is a mutated species, so it's indifferent to small animals?

Its voice was muffled and nasal, perfectly matching the image of someone who had just been crying: "Why didn't you even ask me anything?"

Su Yu declined, saying, "This junior is incompetent and will take my leave first."

"Halt!" Jing Dian jumped up instantly, shouting, "Don't you want to know what reward I can give you?"

Seeing that Su Yu didn't stop walking, it hurriedly blurted out everything.

"I can smell the aura on your companion's wound. It's from the current Demon Lord. The antidote requires a magical plant that only grows on the summit of Snow Crystal Peak. Only I, the Snow Crystal Leopard, can go up there. Moreover, there are plenty of materials up there to enhance your strength. Don't regret refusing me!"

After saying this, Jingdian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yu stopped in her tracks.

"It is my honor to be able to lend a helping hand to my senior!"

Su Yufeng returned to the little leopard's side, grasped Jingdian's two front paws with both hands, and gazed at it with utmost sincerity in his eyes.

"...Aren't you Moon Demons always aloof and reserved?"

This one in front of me is definitely a mutant, isn't it?

But it seemed quite composed before, no different from the Moon Demon in its inherited memories, right?

Su Yu remained unfazed: "Senior is joking. We're all from the same family. Not speaking will only hinder our communication and the exchange of goods."

Indifference and reserve are useless; they can't fill your stomach.

After a subtle moment of silence, Jingdian finally decided to skip over this matter for now.

“Then let’s take action tonight. I roughly know that the main body is in the southeast of Xuefu, but we still need to investigate the exact location.”

"You just need to help me get to my original body, I'll take care of everything else."

Seeing Su Yu's decisive response, Jing Dian fell silent again.

Aren't you going to ask me why?

Su Yu smiled and said, "If you're willing to talk, I'll be a good listener."

Jingdian suddenly lowered its head and licked its paws, muttering, "Hmm, okay, let the main body talk to you once the matter is resolved."

Su Yu lowered her head and sent a message to Feng Huaijin saying that she wouldn't be going back tonight.

Jingdian perched on his shoulder and let out a "Wow!"

"Not returning home at night, alone in an empty room."

Su Yu's forehead vein throbbed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“Hehe,” Jingdian said smugly, “Although this clone of mine is still a cub, the amount of meat I’ve eaten is longer than the distance you’ve walked.”

"Shut up, or I'll send you back to Miss Yuan."

Jingdian muttered something as he jumped off him.

Su Yu grabbed it.

"Don't run, take a nap first and recharge your energy."

He estimated that he probably wouldn't get any sleep tonight.
