Chapter 96: Off to the Beast Empire
"Halt before this handsome doggy!" A cute voice reverberated across the Frost Plains.
The Frozen Ice Lands turned silent. The occasional waves of wind stopped. The vibrant green trees swayed at the cuteness of the voice.
A bunch of snow eagles laid on the branch as they emitted dense killing intent staring at a petite puppy. It was a dog, or at least seemed so.
The Head of the Snow Eagles had a contrasting Blue Crown on its head. It stared at the cute puppy on the ground and its beak moved.
"Ah, Xiao Xiao, oh Xiao Xiao. How can you arrive to the land of Adventure alone? Didn't your Clan's Old Man tell you that it is very dangerous here?"
"Fuck! The humans are not so scary, but you are! How dare you plot against me?!" The puppy bellowed and its body shone with an intense purple light.
The Head Snow Eagle's body emitted a stronger blue light and suppressed the puppy. "Your Dragon Wolf bloodline is indeed the elite of the elite. However, you didn't expect to defeat all of us with your Nascent Soul Cultivation, did you?"
"You can kill me but you can't humiliate me." The cute doggy gnashed its teeth and its body erupted with intense purple light.
The feathers of the Snow Eagles instantly turned erect and blue shields formed guarding them.
"Damn!" The head Snow Eagle cursed, realising the puppy escaping into the narrow valley.
"After him!" It's angry voice shook the frozen plains and soon, the eagles were after the cute doggy.
"You perverted Overgrown Chickens! Though I'm so handsome and humble, you should't try to enjoy my body together right? I'm still not 18!"
"You beasts! Are you all jealous of my handsomeness?"
"I wonder how you birds mate, you obviously have no. Could it be,….?"
The curses of the doggy echoed in the valley.
"Fuck. Don't poke my butt. It's so beautiful." It squealed and rushed forward, triggered by the burning pain from its ass.
A few kilometres away from the valley, Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan were using the Illusory Snow Dance to search for the Beast Empire.
"How long?" Her face was no longer covered by the veil, giving Sheng Tian the view of a peerless goddess.
Baffled by her cold voice, he raised an eyebrow "It's probably in the east. Didn't you see the pattern of profound beasts. The closer to the east, the denser the pack of profound beasts.
Thankfully, we didn't encounter any Peak Sky Realm yet. Though I think they are not interested in playing with us."
In the end, he smiled "Why are you not wearing your veil? Do you have any sentiments that the one who removes your veil should be your hubby? Then I earned big…hey!" Before he could finish, an icy sword shot at him, forcing him to escape right away.
Leng Yue Yan's beautiful face showed anger "I am not going to tolerate your nonsense. What I wear is my choice."
"I never forced ya. Can't you be a bit gentle?" He pouted and dashed off to the East.
"Gentle?" She muttered, looking at her reflection in the pool of pristine water nearby.
"I don't know how to talk to you. I don't understand what is going on with me.
You said I have to love you more than everything and everyone. I don't know if I can ever do that. I'm selfish. I have my own values and interests.
I know you don't lust after me. Though you are a pervert...you are not here for my body.
What should I do? I don't know how to fall in love. I don't know what it is. More than anything, I'm afraid I will bring you ill fate if we get together." She sighed, looking at her stunning countenance, there is not the least bit of joy in her eyes.
However, a determined light flashed in her and she clenched her fists "If my future is my choice, I chose happiness and freedom."
She channelled her profound energy and followed Sheng Tian's footsteps.
"Fuck, don't poke my ass. It's beautiful."
When she found Sheng Tian, a cute voice spewing vulgar language reverberated across the valley.
She turned to Sheng Tian.
He sighed. Cute voice, Cute fur. Oh my god.
Using his maximum strength, he travelled in the source of the sound. She obviously tagged along.
"A cute doggy?" He exclaimed, watching the snow white puppy being chased by a group of Snow Eagles.
"Damn you! I'm not cute, I'm handsome doggy." It shouted from far, placing the form of address above it's own life.
"Why the hell are you blabbering when you are about to die? Need any help, doggy?" He smirked.
The doggy's eyes lit up and it smiled amiably "Yes, Yes fellow brother. To meet her, it must be fate. Why don't you help me take care of this little birds and I will take you a tour of the Beast Empire?"
"Seriously?" Sheng Tian's eyes widened at the unexpected news.
"How could I lie to fellow handsome brother? You know, handsome people don't lie, especially to fellow handsome friends, right?" Like a drowning man in the ocean, it caught the last straw and stuck when the iron is hot.
"Obviously. Handsome people never lie. Though you are not as handsome as me, and could only be considered as barely handsome, since you are able to recognise my handsomeness, it is inevitable that you will grow more handsome." He rubbed his chin and nodded with a serious face.
Leng Yue Yan's lips twitched as she thought 'Seriously. What is with your broken logic?'
With a flash, Sheng Tian picked up the doggy and threw it far away from the Ice Goddess.
He would never allow its dog paws to touch even the corner of her dress.
With a tremendous pressure, he sneered at the Snow Eagles. "Barely entered the Earth Realm and you gang up on a Nascent Soul fellow. Don't you have any shame?"
"Human Cultivator. I'm from the Snow Eagle Clan, one of the ruling clans of the Empire. I hope you give me some face and give us that doggy. The Snow Eagle Clan will appreciate your favour and not make things difficult for you." The Head Snow Eagle said.
Though its words were polite, the meaning was very rude and arrogant. It was a threat! And threats are something Sheng Tian didn't like getting!
"I see, Snow Eagle Clan." He nodded, as a victory gleam flashed in the Head Snow Eagle's eyes, his next words almost made it cough out blood "Nice target to barbecue."
"You…" it didn't get to finish its' words before it's head flew high in the air, painting the ice red.
"Haah"
"Whoah"
"Damn"
The remaining Snow Eagles gasped, realising what just happened.
"Nice one, Handsome Brother. You are not bad." The handsome doggy said earning a glare from Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan.
Shrinking back, it howled "This beautiful miss, why are you glaring at me? I only praised your boyfriend."
"Humph!" The Ice Goddess just ignored the handsome doggy and turned to watch the little battle.
Sheng Tian didn't trash talk and swung his Scarlet Sword.
His profound energy condensed into a structured figure and formed an icy phantom of a butterfly and shot at the Snow Eagles
'He is getting better at it, so fast.' Leng Yue Yan thought to herself. This is one of the famous moves of the Mystic Ice Sect—ButterFly of Winter.
Since the beginning of the adventure, she saw him use this move again and again. Each attempt had visible improvement than the previous, turning her idea of gradual improvement upside down.
This guy's speed and talent are just too perverse, aren't they?
The phantom butterfly devoured the Snow Eagles, ending their lives in a split second.
"We're done. Now, show the way." Sheng Tian's face was devoid of any friendliness as he stared at the doggy.
"Yo bro~ I am a man of my word. It's just that…."the doggy wanted to continue, but his words were cut off Sheng Tian's cold words "Show."
Leng Yue Yan looked at the shocked doggy and the cold Sheng Tian. With a sigh, she walked to him and held his hand in her own.
"What are you doing?" Sheng Tian asked, baffled by her action.
She never allowed him to touch her. So, what happened to her all of a sudden?
Leng Yue Yan turned her face to the side, trying to hide the embarrassment and answered coldly "Trying to stop you from being scary. My mother used to hold my hand when I was angry or afraid."
Looking at the rosy blush on her face, Sheng Tian knew it was not an easy thing for her. Yet she took the step. He smiled gently "Thank you."
Leng Yue Yan glared at him and pressed his hand further with her soft hand. "I'm doing this for the doggy. Don't misunderstand."
"Yes. Yes." He nodded and held her smooth and soft hand tightly.
"Hey you love birds, can't you see I'm still single? Go get a room." The cute doggy's voice broke the silence.
Those words were too embarrassing that even the cold Leng Yue Yan wanted to withdraw her hand. However, Sheng Tian held her gently yet firmly and glared at the doggy "Doggy, I helped you out. Now you show me the way. Else, I can't promise I will be gentle."
"Oof. Again. I'm not a doggie. I'm a Dragon Wolf! Oops, Grandpa said I couldn't reveal it to others. I was just kidding. I'm a doggie."
Sheng Tian covered his face with his palm and endured the urge to beat up the doggy. The hell is wrong with it's mind.
When he was on the verge of loosing it, it started speaking.
"I will show you the way. It's just that I didn't hear anyone using it since thousands of years. I will wait for you outside. If there are any problems with the passage, just tell me and I will help you out." It shamelessly told avoiding travelling with the couple.
They didn't mind and followed the doggy to an ancient snow mountain. It was in no way different from any ordinary mountain.
"It should be around here." It sniffed the ground and circled around the mountain leaving the dangerous profound beasts for Sheng Tian to handle.
"Where?" Sheng Tian for the hundredth time after an hour of continuous killing.
A mountain of corpse was made in the past 60 minutes. After all, it can't be helped. A lot of profound beasts in the vicinity were in Earth Realm and tried to kill them.
Even Leng Yue Yan was having a rough time fighting so many enemies.
"Found it!" The cute voice sounded, bringing relief to them.
With a light tap, a cave opened leading to an underground passage.
The passage was wide, spanning tens of meters in length, breadth and height, shocking the three members.
Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan looked at each other and entered the Passage together.
The doggy was not willing to enter with them. It was obviously scared.
Humans couldn't enter the Beast Empire through its official borders openly. This is their only way.
And with their keen perception, they confirmed that the doggy was not lying about the passage being a way to the Beast Empire.
Watching them disappearing into the passage, the Handsome Doggy smiled arrogantly "Humph! I will show you my handsomeness after you enter the Beast Empire! Oh shit, Grandpa will find out if I don't return!" Its smile faded and a panicked expression filled its white face as it rushed in a direction.
