A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes. She held me for a long time before letting go. "This is the last time. It won't happen again."
"Okay." I didn't quite understand why You insisted on sending me to the Abyss to cultivate this time. Given You's personality and possessiveness, it shouldn't be like this.
"Do you like that little tiger?"
"Huh? Jin Yu is a somewhat silly little monster." You Wenyan's eyebrows and eyes remained as beautiful as ever, and there was no trace of jealousy or unhappiness.
"Hmm, you can take it as a mount. Didn't you want to collect divine beasts before?" You's tone was calm, but there was a hint of something I couldn't understand in her gentle eyes.
"Jinyu is also a divine beast?" I was a little surprised. Jinyu looked like an ordinary tiger demon, and did not have the divine power of a divine beast.
She smiled faintly without answering, only saying goodbye, "Alright, I should go now."
You's figure gradually blurred and turned into nothingness. After You left, I gradually woke up from my dream.
"Master, you're awake? What wonderful dream were you having that made you grin like an idiot?" As soon as I woke up, Feng Su's curious face came close to mine and he asked teasingly.
I touched my face and chuckled, "It's nothing." Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Jin Yu, who was also asleep. Looking her up and down, all I could see was that she was pretty; there was nothing else about her.
"Master, why are you always looking at that little tiger? Look at me too." Feng Su leaned closer to block my gaze from observing Jin Yu.
I helplessly patted Feng Su's soft head. "You're supposed to be an ancient divine beast, a phoenix. How can you be so petty?"
"Hmph, no one can take my master away from me. You wouldn't want him to be your mount, would you?"
I was speechless. Feng Su was silly in other ways, but she was exceptionally sensitive about my acquisition of mounts, and she could guess right every time.
"Has Luo not returned yet?" I quickly changed the subject.
"Not yet." Feng Su sat upright in front of me and shook her head.
Could we be in danger? A hint of worry flashed through my mind as I looked towards the miasma-shrouded forest in the distance.
Feng Su quietly stayed by my side, while Jin Yu was still asleep on the side, her soft breathing coming in one breath after another.
"My lord, I have returned."
"Did you find anything?" I asked as soon as Luo returned.
“The Crimson Demon is deep within the Miasma Forest, guarded by eight hundred lesser demons. I also have a general understanding of the terrain of the Miasma Forest.” Luo replied methodically. “I suggest we sneak in, bypass the lesser demons on the outskirts, and go directly to the Crimson Demon. This will save us a lot of trouble.”
“Yes, there’s no need to waste energy on the little demons.” I nodded in agreement, thinking about whether there was a simple and quick battle plan. This was really different from what I had expected. I thought it would just be a matter of fighting a couple of demons in the abyss, but I didn’t expect it to be so complicated.
"Feng Su, I remember you're good at formations. After we sneak into the miasma forest and find the Crimson Demon, I'll entrust you with the formation to isolate the space." Feng Su isn't good at fighting; what he's better at is formations and feng shui. When the time comes, let Feng Su draw a formation to isolate the battleground so that the Crimson Demon's subordinates won't discover and interfere with us.
"No problem, leave it to me."
"Luo, you just went to the Miasma Forest, so you'll lead the way later."
"good."
"Get up, Jinyu." I wanted to kick Jinyu, who was still sleeping, but looking at his handsome face, I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I yelled instead.
Jin Yu rubbed her eyes, still looking sleepy, and said, "Ah, I'll wait for you here. I won't hold you back."
I crouched down and asked with a smile, "Jinyu, you don't want us to take you out anymore?"
"I'll go, okay? But first, you have to protect my safety."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely protect you." You said you might be a divine beast, so of course I have to protect you well.
In this other world, besides You, the only thing that interests me is divine beasts. If Jin Yu is a divine beast, she should be from the White Tiger lineage. Tigers are just big cats, and just thinking about being able to pet a big tiger in the future makes me excited.
