What a beautiful sight!
Long Fan could not help but sigh in admiration.
Riding atop the handsome Dragon Hawk, he looked down over the scenic Sacred Mountain.
It was truly breathtaking!
Such a vast and magnificent view instantly lifted his spirits.
During the flight, they occasionally encountered some peculiar flying magical beasts.
Such as Seven-striped Cranes.
They looked as though they might float away like immortals at any moment.
They even tried to approach Long Fan.
But intimidated by the powerful Dragon Hawk, they could only leave awkwardly.
Of course, Long Fan would never choose ornamental mounts like cranes or Saint Geese.
Everyone else summoned earth dragons, fine horses, Brave Hawks, and the like.
Yet you rode a white crane into battle.
Wouldn't that be ridiculous?
Standing out from the flock was one thing.
But the whole style simply did not fit.
This was fantasy, not cultivation!
So Long Fan ignored those magical beasts.
After flying over another mountain peak, Long Fan spotted a large lake within a valley.
Looking down from the Dragon Hawk's back, the lake resembled a glittering blue sapphire.
It seemed to have been embedded directly among the mountains.
"Nice. There should be Xingyao wherever there's water!"
After all, places with water had the most magical beasts, including plenty of powerful ones.
The Dragon Hawk really had not led him the wrong way.
Without wasting another second, Long Fan hurriedly signaled for the Dragon Hawk to descend.
With a clear target in mind, they moved swiftly this time.
Before long, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The sapphire-like lake reflected the sunlight.
It looked like a paradise on earth.
The Seven-Colored Dragon Hawk landed steadily.
Long Fan leaped down from its back.
Turning around, he stroked the Dragon Hawk's feathers.
"Brother Eaglefeathers, thanks for bringing me all this way. If fate allows, we'll meet again."
The Dragon Hawk rubbed against Long Fan.
Only after a while did it reluctantly spread its wings and take off.
It circled over Long Fan's head several times.
Then, with one final cry, it soared into the sky and departed.
Long Fan waved.
Unfortunately, the falling flowers had no feelings, while the flowing water did.
The Dragon Hawk was ultimately not suited for him.
A mismatched man and beast would never have a future together.
Long Fan cast those thoughts aside.
He turned and walked toward the lakeshore.
He stopped, slowing down.
Then he quietly crept closer ahead.
Before long, he beheld a remarkable sight.
More than a dozen unicorns moved about in a herd.
They wandered along the lakeshore, drinking water. Clearly, they belonged to the same clan.
Their bodies were snow-white, with golden manes growing along their necks.
A golden, spiraled horn stood proudly atop each of their heads.
They were none other than—
The legendary King of Starry Unicorns!
True all-terrain unicorns, powerful both on land and in the air, were without question the mounts most beloved by knights.
These magical beasts possessed formidable combat strength whether in the sky or on the ground.
Moreover, unicorns were gentle by nature and relatively easy to tame.
As the saying went, knights came and went, but the Starlight Beast King remained!
And the King of Starry Unicorns before Long Fan was even more exceptional among unicorns.
An adult King of Starry Unicorns was a peak eighth-tier Light Attribute magical beast.
It was only a step away from the ninth tier, second only to the ninth-tier Divine Unicorn.
Any one of the Starlight Beast Kings before him—
Would be a more powerful existence than Li Xin's Rose Unicorn.
Long Fan took a deep breath and calmed himself as best he could.
He put away his heavy sword and slowly walked toward the King of Starry Unicorns.
They were truly beautiful.

The graceful lines of their bodies were simply a perfect fusion of strength and beauty.
They were practically the beauty icons of magical beasts.
The dense sacred aura surrounding them was so pure.
Even the surface of the lake they touched seemed to ripple with circles of faint golden light.
What beautiful magical beasts!
The closer he came, the more he discovered the Starlight Beast Kings' charm.
Each unicorn possessed a pair of enormous white feathered wings.
The feathers along the outermost edges of their wings were golden.
As they walked, faint golden halos could be seen radiating beneath them.
Even outside the Knight Sacred Mountain, these kind-hearted King of Starry Unicorns would not easily attack humans.
What was more, under the influence of the Light magic formation here, their aggressiveness had basically dropped to zero.
It seemed a good opportunity had arrived.
Long Fan slowly approached.
Among this herd of King of Starry Unicorns, one was especially large.
While the other unicorns drank water, only it stood quietly there.
When it saw Long Fan approach, the King of Starry Unicorns let out a neigh.
"Neighhh~~"
Its front hoof lightly pawed at the ground, seemingly on guard.
Long Fan hurriedly stopped and said politely, "Honorable King of Starry Unicorns, I came here to find my mount companion.
May I ask if I may communicate with you?"
The Starlight Beast King's golden eyes blinked as its gaze swept across Long Fan's clear golden eyes.
It was immediately stunned.
Then, a great burst of golden light surged from its horn.
An abundant sacred aura!
In an instant, a curtain of light enveloped Long Fan.
His entire body felt warm.
The Starlight Beast King released a friendly sensation.
It meant that it was willing to communicate with him.
A soft, graceful female voice rang out in Long Fan's mind.
"Hello, handsome human."
Long Fan froze.
Well, damn. The one he had encountered was actually female.
It seemed that after his charm stat reached 100, his luck with the opposite sex had improved quite a bit.
The Starlight Beast King's voice was no less sweet than those female streamers from his previous life who used voice changers to act cute.
More importantly, her voice was pure and natural.
It sounded ethereal and beautiful, without stirring any improper thoughts.
High-ranking magical beasts all possessed the ability to communicate with humans.
Still, it was Long Fan's first time having an in-depth exchange with a female magical beast of this level, and he felt a little nervous.
"Greetings, Starlight Beast King."
The Starlight Beast King stepped forward and sniffed Long Fan.
The aura of light on him was incomparably pure.
It was even purer than that of a unicorn itself, and felt just as comforting.
Thus, the Starlight Beast King completely lowered her guard and rubbed against him affectionately.
"For an instant earlier, I even thought the God of Light had descended."
The rubbing felt rather pleasant, but Long Fan did not forget the purpose of his visit.
"Then, Starlight Beast King, are you willing to become my companion?"
Long Fan was quite satisfied with a being capable of evolving to Level Nine, or even Level Ten.
If she agreed now, he would gain a peak Level Eight mount.
However, the Starlight Beast King fell silent.
She met Long Fan's gaze.
At once, brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Yet the Starry Unicorn actually trembled.
"Honorable God Favored One of Light, I truly want to agree to your request.
"But I cannot deceive you."
Long Fan was somewhat stunned.
Sure enough, just like Long Xiaogua in the original novel.
These Starry Unicorns were simply too honest.
You're wonderful, but I'm not worthy of you!
The Starlight Beast King rubbed against Long Fan again and hurriedly explained.
"Great Lord of Light, I am unworthy of being ridden by you. You are far too noble!"
After rubbing against him for a while, the Starlight Beast King retreated several steps.
"So, I'm sorry. I can only refuse you."
PS: I had to get a nucleic acid test this morning, so it delayed me a little.
I'm working hard on the other two updates. Please wait a bit, everyone.
