Bab 1668: Prep Before The Tournament

Little Shrubby's breakthrough was contained within the limits of the courtyard, with no one outside it knowing.

Lin Mu had gone through a roller coaster of emotion and was finally able to calm down.

"You did good Little Shrubby… Though you certainly had me worried." Lin Mu said while approaching the beast.

~pat~

He rubbed the beast's head, feeling the rich vitality that could still be felt within his body. Even now it was surrounding his fur, allowing it to be palpable.

"Of course! There's no way I would fail in this." Little Shrubby replied with a growl.

He then quickly shrank to kitten size and jumped into Lin Mu's embrace.

~Purrs

Lin Mu embraced the beast for a bit before turning around. 

"That's one problem over. Now there's just the Tournament left." Lin Mu spoke to the Saintess.
