"Why did Master take in another little turtle as a contracted beast?" Biqiong gently poked the turtle shell on Xuanguang's back with her paw. "By the way, this turtle shell is quite hard."
"How dare you! Do you think you, a little red lion, have the right to touch my shell, the shell of the Divine Tortoise of Light?" Xuan Guang rebuked.
"That title sounds pretty intimidating, but it doesn't work in the Wind Spirit Space. Here, what matters is first come, first served. You're the last one here, so you'll be a lackey in the space."
Xuan Guang rolled his eyes and looked around at the space. "What? Are you the boss of this space?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiong immediately replied confidently, "Of course..."
But before it could finish speaking, Feng Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the moon boat, coughed lightly.
Bi Qiong suddenly changed her tune, "Of course not. In this Wind Spirit Space, of course I, Sister Wind Spirit, am in charge. Sister Wind Spirit is the boss."
The lion, under the eaves, had no choice but to bow its head.
It didn't want to be tossed into some obscure corner of space by the wind spirit with a single thought.
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Little Lion did a good job today."
Xuan Guang scoffed, "Tch, you speak so confidently, I thought you were the boss."
"What kind of look is that? Even if I'm not the boss, I'm still number two. It's not up to a newcomer like you to stand above me," Bi Qiong said indignantly, puffing out her cheeks.
"Being the second oldest is an honor, isn't it?" Xuan Guang mocked mercilessly.
"You, you, you! You old tortoise, you old bastard!"
“Since you are the guardian beast of the Western Regions Brahma Kingdom throughout the ages, you must have lived for a very long time. Shouldn’t you have the voice of an old man? Why are you using the voice of a little boy to pretend to be young?”
"You're the one pretending to be young. We turtles have very long lifespans. In our turtle world, I'm still young and haven't even reached adulthood yet."
"You dare call me an old turtle?" Xuan Guang spat at Bi Qiong in anger.
Bi Qiong dodged in time. "Ugh! How disgusting! You even used saliva to launch a sneak attack. If you're so tough, let's fight."
"Fine, let's fight!"
The two beasts rubbed their hands together, eager to fight, and soon they clashed.
Bi Qiong launched a swift attack, but just as she was about to reach Xuan Guang, she was blocked by a shield resembling a tortoise shell.
"My fire attacks are incredibly powerful. Watch how I shatter your turtle shell today."
"Anyone can talk big, break through first before you brag." Xuan Guang hid behind the tortoise shell shield, very confident in his defense.
Although it is not very strong in combat, when it comes to defense, if it claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.
Azure Sky slammed its claws down one after another, but the tortoise shell shield remained as hard as ever, without the slightest crack.
"Go, Brother Biqiong!" Yaoyao shouted excitedly from the side.
"Keep it up, Brother Xuanguang!"
Biqiong turned to look at Yaoyao, "Little one, whose side are you on? This guy just arrived and you're already siding with outsiders."
Yao Yao's soft, sweet voice rang out, "But Brother Xuan Guang is also our partner, Yao Yao can't show favoritism."
Ah Li added fuel to the fire, "Yao Yao is right, Bi Qiong, if you can't break through it soon, you'll be proven wrong."
Biqiong used all her strength to attack, but in the end, she was panting heavily and still couldn't break through the tortoise shell shield.
Looking at Xuan Guang, who was leisurely hiding behind the tortoise shell shield, Bi Qiong roared, "Don't just hide, attack too!"
Xuan Guang shook his head. "Defense is my advantage. Why would I compare my offensive disadvantage with your advantage? Only a fool would do that."
"You're calling me stupid?!" Bi Qiong pointed to herself in disbelief.
"I didn't say that. Whoever admits it is the one who says it."
Exhausted, Biqiong collapsed to the ground, as if it had lost all its strength. It said in admiration, "What is your shell made of? It's so hard!"
"Besides this tortoise shell for defense, what other abilities do you have?" Biqiong asked. "Our master wants us to get to know each other, since we'll inevitably be fighting together in the future."
Xuan Guang suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up. "That's right, I have another special skill."
"Oh? That's an amazing skill! Show it to us!" Bi Qiong asked curiously.
Yao Yao and the others all looked expectantly at Xuan Guang.
Its defense is so strong, its other special skill must be just as impressive.
Xuan Guang's head suddenly retracted into the tortoise shell, which spun rapidly on the ground like a whirlwind.
After a short while, Xuan Guang stopped and poked its head out of the tortoise shell.
Bi Qiong looked puzzled. "That's it?"
Xuan Guang stretched his neck forward, gesturing for them to look at the ground.
Feng Ling looked left and right, puzzled, and said, "There's nothing on the ground except for the circle you spun around in."
"It's this circle, I'll draw a circle to curse you."
The beasts present were stunned, and the space suddenly became extremely quiet.
Suddenly, Bi Qiong burst out laughing.
It was so happy that the whole beast collapsed to the ground and rolled around, clutching its stomach and pounding the ground.
"Hahaha—are you trying to make me laugh to death? This is your special skill!"
Xuan Guang nodded. It was something it had come up with on its own while bored in the Holy Land.
Feng Ling's lips twitched, her expression a mixture of amusement and unease.
Suddenly, the area of ground enclosed by the circle collapsed, revealing a large, round, and deep pit.
Bi Qiong's laughter stopped abruptly. He leaned over the edge of the pit, looked at it thoughtfully, and said, "Your skill is quite something."
It's truly unexpected; they can launch a surprise attack during a battle.
Xuan Guang's tone was tinged with smugness, "That's right! Don't you know who I am?"
Huanyan Pavilion.
The flying magical artifact descended from the sky, and the Phantom Guards, who were initially on guard, immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master," upon seeing Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan waved her hand and then walked into the pavilion.
"My lord, you're back!" Tinghe greeted Ruan Xiyan with joy.
"How is Hanxiang?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
"Hanxiang has been taking pills every day, and her injuries have now healed. My lord, did your journey go smoothly?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "Everything went smoothly. I have found the Brahma Bone Fruit that brought Hanxiang's severed arm back to life."
"That's wonderful! Now Hanxiang's arm can recover," Tinghe exclaimed excitedly.
During the time she took care of Hanxiang, although Hanxiang didn't say anything, she felt very sad looking at her severed arm.
Inside the room.
Hanxiang was practicing swordsmanship with her left arm, gesturing with the sword in her left hand.
"Hanxiang, I've only been gone a short time, why are you being disobedient? You're secretly practicing your sword again." Tinghe stepped forward angrily, hands on her hips, and scolded her.
"I'm almost fully recovered. If I stay in bed any longer, my body will start to rust."
Tinghe looked helpless and took the long sword from her hand. "Hanxiang, quickly see who has returned."
