Aju leaped and disappeared from everyone's sight. Everyone thought that Dongfang Mian would take action personally as before, but unexpectedly she sent out a beast pet. Wasn't that a bit too disrespectful to the third-stage divine beast, the Mane Lion?
"Well, Poison Master, I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just worried that this little guy might get into some danger," the Poison Master said kindly.
"Danger? What danger? We're back now, aren't we?" Dongfang Mian gestured with her lips, and everyone looked in that direction.
The once arrogant and domineering maned lion was now hanging its head dejectedly behind a small figure, looking servile and subservient.
"Are you the Maned Lion?" Dongfang Mian asked when Aju brought it to him.
The maned lion ignored her, and in a fit of anger, Aju kicked its huge rear end. "My master is talking to you, don't you have ears?"
Everyone was cautious, wary of the Mane Lion's sudden outburst of anger, but the latter simply bowed to Dongfang Mian with a wronged expression, "Greetings, Master. Reporting to Master, this humble beast is indeed the Mane Lion."
Everyone was shocked. As a divine beast with the strength of the third stage, is it really okay for you to do this? Where is your backbone and pride? Especially the poison masters who were injured by it before, they were all filled with resentment.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, the maned lion was also helpless. He wanted to stand up for himself, but who would have thought that Aju's bloodline was so powerful that it suppressed him so much that he didn't dare to utter a word in a single exchange.
Some quick-witted people in the crowd immediately realized that this was all thanks to Aju, and guessed that Aju's identity was extraordinary. They looked at Aju with awe.
This greatly satisfied Ah Ju's vanity. She proudly raised her neck, but still wasn't satisfied. She kicked the maned lion twice more before she was finally content.
To be honest, Dongfang Mian felt sorry for the maned lion's situation, but she also wanted to laugh, and her efforts to control herself resulted in an extremely distorted expression on her face.
Seeing this, the maned lion thought that Dongfang Mian was going to kill it to vent his anger, and its four legs went weak and it knelt on the ground. "Please don't kill me! I don't want the Soul-Severing Grass anymore, waaaaaah~".
Uh... This whole situation made Dongfang Mian forget what she wanted to say, and she could only awkwardly comfort her, "Don't cry, I have a handkerchief here, do you need it?"
"Waaaaah~ I was just passing by with my mother. She accidentally ingested poison and is about to die. I heard that the poison of the Soul-Severing Grass can be countered with poison, so I came here to wait for it to mature. Please don't kill me! I still need to go back to take care of my mother~", the maned lion cried like a child.
This was the first time the poison masters had ever seen a third-stage expert cry like this, and they were at a loss for what to do. They could only look to Dongfang Mian and wait for her to make a decision.
"So your mother is sick too..." This scene deeply moved Mu Bai.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mian rubbed her forehead helplessly. When the mane lion went from crying loudly to sobbing softly, she said, "Well then, we can't give you this Soul-Severing Grass because we need it, but I can help cure your mother's illness."
"Really?" The mane lion stopped crying instantly. He had only wanted to save his mother; the Soul-Severing Grass wasn't essential to him.
“Of course, we can go treat your mother now,” Dongfang Mian said.
Seeing the Mane Lion's gaze sweep over the group of poison masters, Dongfang Mian said, "Don't worry, only I will go with you; they won't."
