"Um?"
Sensing something amiss, Feng Bingwen looked around and saw that all five of his companion spirits were there. The one who was teleported to his side at this moment was probably a stranger. Of course, it might just be Ji Changqing, the one who wanted to push his sister to him.
Then, a petite and delicate figure gradually came into Feng Bingwen's view. Clearly, this was not the Wanling Sect prodigy who wanted to be his brother-in-law.
This is a girl who looks very young. She is wearing a half-sleeved long shirt, a tea-white herb, and her hair is tied up in a lily bun, decorated with flower branches. She has a clear and bright aura, and her sweetness is tinged with a touch of innocence, making her even more alluring.
But the most important thing is not her seemingly young and petite figure, but rather the pair of short antlers that quietly sprout from between her thick black hair on her forehead, highlighting the girl's non-human and otherworldly identity.
If Feng Bingwen's guess was correct, this was a prodigy from another race who had attached himself to the human race and obtained the qualification to enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. According to the rules, he could take him away if he defeated him head-on, or kill him on the spot if he refused.
"Wow!"
However, before Feng Bingwen could even consider whether to subdue this petite alien, he saw the delicate-looking girl open her eyes, survey her surroundings, and when her gaze fell upon him, her body trembled slightly, her azure pupils dilated slightly, and she couldn't help but take a small step back.
Then, she realized that her behavior was very inappropriate. So, before Feng Bingwen could say anything, she saw this girl with eyes as pure and clear as a deer's, yet also as timid as a deer, kneel down very readily.
"I am Hua Chaoyan, and I am willing to follow you, Daoist Master. Please accept me!"
"..."
Feng Bingwen remained silent, staring at the little girl who had bowed her head so readily after less than three breaths of meeting her.
Where is the promised prodigy from another race?
That's it?
Kneeling upon meeting you? Not even a fight back?
When this thought arose, Feng Bingwen completely ignored the purple-black dragon wandering beside him, and the earth spirit giant standing like a small mountain to the side.
As for the other three spirits, Metal, Fire, and Wood, although they look rather ordinary, their auras are by no means weak, in addition to Feng Bingwen himself.
To the little deer girl Hua Zhaoyan, who had just arrived in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, this was clearly a sign that her fate was sealed. Otherwise, how could she have encountered such a terrifying human prodigy so soon after entering, leaving her with absolutely no chance of survival?
Resist? Resist with your head?
Before she entered this place, her elders had repeatedly warned her that if she encountered a human prodigy whose strength made even running away a luxury, she should submit and not be stubborn.
Otherwise, if you can't win but still refuse to back down, the only outcome will be being killed on the spot by the human race's prodigy. Even if you die, it will be in vain because you didn't follow the rules set by the human race.
Hua Chaoyan didn't know the background of the human in front of her, but his strength was obvious to the naked eye. Moreover, even if he blindly accepted the master, his background wouldn't be too bad, after all, he had already entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
So her purpose in entering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was to choose a perfect master for herself. But she had only just entered when she encountered this monster. She didn't know if this was her luck or misfortune, but she knew very well that she had no choice at the moment.
"Please have mercy, sir!"
Kneeling on the ground, Hua Chaoyan felt uneasy. She glanced up furtively. Although the young man in the brocade robe felt very familiar, the dragon coiled above his head and the giant standing beside him gave her a sense of oppressive pressure. So, she added humbly.
"Get up! You don't need to kneel!"
Although he felt a little disappointed, Feng Bingwen still felt uneasy seeing a little girl who looked like she wasn't even an adult yet kneeling on the ground, pleading with him in a humble tone. A sense of pity rose in his heart.
"Thank you, sir!"
Hua Chaoyan quickly adjusted her posture and cautiously approached Feng Bingwen's location. Her initial anticipation had completely changed, and she couldn't help but feel a little smug amidst her complicated emotions.
She came in recognizing her master. Although the process was somewhat fast, this master's status among humans is definitely not low. Following her master, she should have a much better time in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and might even gain many opportunities.
What is your true form?
When Feng Bingwen saw the girl approaching him, although they hadn't established a Dao contract, he wasn't on guard. There was no way around it; the little girl's aura was just too pure and peaceful to him.
This is clearly someone who has never participated in any battles, and whose hands are not even stained with blood. She is a delicate flower that has never experienced wind and rain, and only in a secret realm bound by rules can she enter.
"Reporting to my lord, I am a five-colored deer!"
As she replied, the little girl also wanted to prove her point. Her petite body transformed into a giant deer as strong as a horse under a burst of five-colored spiritual light. Her soft fur swayed slightly in the forest breeze, shimmering with a faint five-colored spiritual light, and her short tail swayed from time to time with the rhythm of her steps.
“Sir, this deer seems quite suitable for you.”
Upon seeing the little girl reveal her true form, Shui Ling, who had been hovering above Feng Bingwen's head, immediately lowered her head and said...
"Perfect for your needs."
“It is qualified to be the master’s mount.”
The earth spirit, who had received the inherited cultivation technique and had his body reshaped, became much more assertive and also spoke up in a low, humming voice to echo his sentiment.
"How old are you?"
Feng Bingwen ignored the nonsense spouted by these companion spirits and instead asked the five-colored deer that had approached him.
"I'm still young, not even sixty years old yet. I haven't grown up, and many of my bloodline abilities haven't been awakened."
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's question, Hua Chaoyan, who had revealed her true form, quickly answered. However, the voice that came from this robust giant deer was as timid as that of a gentle young girl, which was somewhat strange to Feng Bingwen.
Moreover, this answer from a minor left Feng Bingwen speechless, unsure of what to say for a moment. Not even sixty years old? Not grown up yet? Truly worthy of being a renowned auspicious creature among humans.
"Come with me!"
With that, Feng Bingwen strode forward.
"Master, aren't you going to sign a soul contract with me?"
A questioning voice sounded from behind.
"unnecessary."
Feng Bingwen glanced back at the five-colored deer, and had to admit that the deer did indeed suit his identity quite well, but...
"If you are willing, you may follow me; if not, you may leave on your own."
"..."
Upon hearing this answer, Hua Chaoyan was stunned, even forgetting to move. But she quickly recovered, using her long, straight deer legs to chase after him.
"Master, you can sit on my back. Although I am not good at fighting, I am actually very fast."
How fast?
Feng Bingwen asked casually.
"The only supernatural power I currently possess is the Five Elements Escape Technique, but I'm too young to master it properly."
"?"
Feng Bingwen paused, turned to look at the five-colored deer, which, despite its robust physique, posed no threat to him, and asked, word by word,
"Oh, what's wrong, sir? Is there a problem?"
Its bright blue eyes were clear and bright, with slightly moist edges, as serene as a bamboo forest after the rain.
"nothing."
Feng Bingwen remained calm. This was the shield technique he desired most. Although he had also comprehended a minor innate five elements escape technique, it was incomparable to this. His realm was not high enough, his position was not high enough, and his vision was not comprehensive enough.
屮!
You're putting on airs too early!
It turns out he's an auspicious creature who has mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique. He spoke too soon, but judging from the five-colored deer's tone and expression, it seems his words have won her over.
"Sir, I'm really fast, you can come and try riding me!"
Let's give it a try!
Without hesitation, Feng Bingwen flipped himself up and mounted the five-colored deer.
"Sir, where are you going?"
The five-colored deer raised its head and asked.
"I don't know this place, so I'll just look around and focus on finding opportunities and good fortune!"
Feng Bingwen replied that he could sense the dangers around him. Unlike the initial area he had just entered, there were many more poisonous insects and ferocious beasts here. However, because he had not concealed his aura, all the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts hid and did not act aggressively.
"Yes, sir."
Hua Chaoyan responded and shifted her hips a couple of times, feeling a little uncomfortable, as it was the first time someone had ridden on her back. Then, carrying Feng Bingwen, she vanished from the spot in a streak of five-colored light.
Wu Ling, who had been following Feng Bingwen, was startled and quickly followed, but the distance between them only increased.
Seeing this, Feng Bingwen reached out and grabbed behind him. A five-colored divine light rose up and then rolled backward, and all five spirits returned to their positions and entered his body.
Then Feng Bingwen's attention fell on the five-colored deer beneath him. In this vast mountain range, with its dense forests and waters, the deer did not slow down at all. No matter what was in front of it, it carried him through it as if it did not exist.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, the five-colored deer, which had been running rapidly through the forest, stopped abruptly, let out a cry, and its four strong legs buckled, causing it to collapse to the ground. Its clear, bright eyes blinked, and it seemed as if it were about to drip water.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
The enormous deer head turned around, but the voice that came out was that of a soft, girlish voice, with a mournful tone.
"Excuse me, I'm a little curious about your supernatural abilities."
Feng Bingwen lowered his head, clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He had been looking for a long time but hadn't really seen anything. Then, he accidentally tried to probe the Five-Colored Deer's body with his immortal spiritual energy. He didn't expect the little deer to be so sensitive and to have such a strong reaction.
"Sir, could you please stop? You're making me feel terrible!"
"Fellow Daoist Feng, what are you doing?"
Before Feng Bingwen could answer, he saw a bright yellow light appear in front of him, and then a familiar figure emerged from it.
