Yu Kai gazed at the two trembling monsters kneeling on the ground, secretly thankful that the crisis was over, but his expression remained dignified and solemn. He spoke slowly, his voice resounding like a bell, "You have committed such a monstrous crime. Simply kneeling and begging for mercy is far from enough. Tell me, how do you intend to atone for your mistakes?"
The Earth Brown Bear quickly raised his head, his face filled with fear and flattery. "Young Master, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse. I will go through fire and water for you at your command without hesitation!"
The demon wolf quickly chimed in, "Right, right, right, Young Master. I know of many hidden places on Saturn, containing countless treasures. I'm willing to lead you there to find them. I only ask that you spare us this time and not disturb the Star Lord's mark. We will remain loyal to him from now on."
Yu Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. From today on, you will be my guardian beasts. Before I leave Saturn, you must do your utmost to protect me and Sister Shuang. If you make any mistakes, don't blame me for using my master's brand to make your souls fly away and never be reborn!"
"Yes, young master! We will do our best and be loyal to you until our death!" The two monsters responded hurriedly, their voices full of awe and fear.
Yu Kai nodded slightly, then moved to Murong Shuang's side. At this moment, Murong Shuang was gently enveloped by the soft moonlight. Her aura became increasingly calm, and her strength seemed to have significantly improved. Yu Kai gazed at her peaceful face, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Yu Kai looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "It's almost dawn. I wonder if Sister Shuang will wake up when the sun comes up?" Then he turned to the two monsters and ordered, "Help us protect the law. I need to recover my spiritual power."
The Earth Brown Bear and the Demon Wolf did not dare to slack off at all and nodded in agreement.
Yu Kai sat cross-legged beside Murong Shuang, slowly circulating his spiritual energy to recover. The Moon Spirit Sacred Sword hovered above him, its blade gleaming with a cool light as it rapidly absorbed the power of the moonlight. Two demonic beasts stood guard not far away, vigilantly observing their surroundings like loyal guards, preventing any other demonic beasts from disturbing them.
Time flowed slowly in silence. The sky gradually brightened, the bright moon slowly retreated, and a brilliant ray of sunlight quietly peeked out from the horizon, draping the earth in a layer of golden gauze. Murong Shuang slowly opened her eyes, a clear and sharp light flashing in them. Her aura grew stronger, and she had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Saint Emperor.
At this moment, the Moon Spirit Jade had vanished, merging perfectly with her. A crescent moon mark appeared on her forehead, gleaming softly before slowly disappearing into her forehead.
She gently rose to her feet, and the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword, as if sensing her awakening, soared to her, circling her slowly, emitting a rapid and cheerful sword chime, as if cheering for the future of the Moon Spirit Holy Land's inheritance. Murong Shuang bowed slightly to the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword, her eyes filled with respect and gratitude.
She looked at Yu Kai, who was standing guard nearby, and then saw two powerful demonic beasts not far away. She was startled at first, but when the two beasts smiled at her in a friendly manner, especially the demonic wolf, which wagged its tail in a very ingratiating manner, she gradually felt relieved.
Yu Kai quickly concluded his training, sprinted forward, and hugged her hands tightly. He couldn't help but sob as he spoke, "Sister Shuang, it's all my fault. I overestimated my own strength. I didn't expect these so-called genius generals to be so extraordinary. Each of them possesses powerful skills, and the divine weapons they wield are incomparably formidable. They all possess the ability to challenge opponents of higher rank. It's all my fault. I nearly killed you. If it weren't for this Moon Spirit Jade, I'm afraid I'd never see you again!"
"Yu Kai, I don't blame you. I know you have tried your best." Murong Shuang said softly, her voice like a mountain spring, crisp and pleasant, and with endless tenderness, comforting him.
Yu Kai raised his head, wiped away his tears, and an excited smile appeared on his face: "Sister Shuang, is the wound on your neck healed? How do you feel now?"
Murong Shuang turned around, stretched her muscles, and said with a smile, "I feel better than ever. This time, thanks to you and the Moon Spirit Jade you gave me, I successfully broke through to the early stage of Saint Emperor."
At this time, the Earth Brown Bear and the Demon Wolf approached cautiously and saluted respectfully towards Yu Kai and Murong Shuang: "Greetings, Young Master, and Greetings, Miss Murong."
Murong Shuang was slightly startled, looking at Yu Kai in confusion. Yu Kai then recounted everything that had happened, from the confrontation with the monsters to how he used his identity as the Young Master of Saturn to intimidate them. Murong Shuang couldn't help but smile. "It seems your identity as the Young Master of Saturn played a big role at a critical moment."
Yu Kai scratched his head and smiled shyly, "The situation compels us to take this risk. However, these two monsters are now our helpers." He then used his power to conceal the heart core barrier below, and the cracks in the ground slowly healed. The performance of the two monsters last night was indeed very conscientious and responsible.
As everyone was conversing, suddenly, the sound of war drums beat from beyond the atmosphere, followed by the blast of horns, shattering the silence like a gust of wind. Countless warships roared as they sprang into action. The faces of the Earth Brown Bear and the Demon Wolf suddenly changed, and they exclaimed in unison, "Oh no! It's the Celestial Army! Our fight last night must have alarmed them, and they're probably coming for us!"
Yu Kai and Murong Shuang looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became serious.
Yu Kai tightly gripped the Moon Spirit Holy Sword, the blade flashing with murderous intent. He sternly shouted, "I killed Yang Yichen yesterday. How dare they still dare to come? Then let them all stay!"
"What?" Murong Shuang was startled, her eyes widening as she stared at Yu Kai and asked, "You said you killed Yang Yichen yesterday?"
"That's right! He actually dared to kill you and tried to take your life. Naturally, I must avenge you!" Yu Kai's tone was cold and his eyes were fierce.
"This is trouble! Both of Yang Jian's grandsons died in your hands, he will never let you go! I'm already dead, why bother to offend him!" Murong Shuang had a sad face and her eyes were full of worry.
"What are you afraid of? The worst that can happen is that I will die. Not a single step along the way was easy, but I am still alive today. If I have the chance to do it again, I will still do the same!" Yu Kai said in a firm and resounding tone.
Seeing Yu Kai's resolute expression, Murong Shuang felt both delighted and distressed. She hadn't felt someone so steadfastly protecting her since her family members died. Her eyes welled up, but she fought hard to hold them back.
"No! They didn't come in. I feel like there are fewer and fewer warships outside. What's going on?" The demon wolf stretched his neck and tried to look outside and said.
"Hmph, it must be because the fighting we had last night was extremely intense. They were afraid of our strength, so they didn't dare to attack rashly and hurriedly evacuated early in the morning." The Earth Brown Bear said after a little thought.
"The Heavenly Court has dominated the world for countless years. It is full of experts. Any great god can turn you and me into ashes. How could they be afraid of us?" The demon wolf asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Sister Shuang, wait here for me. I'll go and see what they are doing." Yu Kai said.
