The Gold-Inlaid Child of Light, the Diamond-Studded God Favored One

The Gold-Inlaid Child of Light, the Diamond-Studded God Favored One

Starry Unicorns were symbols of light.

They were gentle and kind by nature.

And their greatest trait was that they never lied!

So, according to what the other party had said, it was likely that not only was the Starlight Beast King unqualified to become his partner within Knight Sacred Mountain.

Even the hidden Ninth Level Magical Beasts and their descendants were equally unqualified.

Sigh!

Was this the trouble of having a physique with standards that were simply too high?

Still, Long Fan had already prepared himself mentally.

He was not overly dejected by the Starlight Beast King's sincere refusal.

Now, he could only use the teleportation array to try his luck.

The Goddess of Light was practically in a relationship with him that was on the level of lovers.

She would surely protect him, a God Favored One with the Deep Blue physique, from the shadows.

Besides, when a transmigrator drew a prize, the drop rate was bound to be higher than for the natives.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.

Or there was another path.

He could hunt and tame Magical Beasts himself in the future.

But both of those future paths were full of uncertainties.

Yet without a doubt, Long Fan still preferred the former.

After all, who wasn't a gambling addict deep down?

Through the teleportation array, one could obtain a mount partner from another world.

The ceiling was high, but the floor was also low.

At the very least, there was a chance of obtaining a powerful mount.

There would be more opportunities that way.

Take a shot, and a Wuling Hongguang might become a Rolls-Royce.

But taming Magical Beasts on his own was far less feasible.

After all, even with his master Yang Haoyu, the top dog of the Alliance, backing him, the man could not intervene.

When choosing a mount partner, Long Fan could only rely on himself.

At most, he could solo Fifth or Sixth Level Magical Beasts.

Taking down Seventh or Eighth Level ones would be rather troublesome.

Besides, even the peak Eighth Level Starlight Beast King was not worthy of his God Favored talent.

No one would be willing to settle for hunting lower-level Magical Beasts.

In the future, he was someone with the potential to become a Divine Seal Knight!

He truly had no interest in mere Fifth or Sixth Level Magical Beasts.

After all, other Divine Seal Knights had Eighth or Ninth Level Light Dragons or Starry Unicorns to uphold their prestige.

If he tamed a low-level Magical Beast with an ordinary bloodline as his mount—

It would be the joke of the century!

After thinking for only a moment.

Long Fan made his final decision.

He would gamble!

And so, it was happily decided.

He would go draw a prize from the teleportation array!

However, there was still nearly a month left.

Leaving early was definitely not an option, and it might easily arouse suspicion.

Besides, he could not come all this way for nothing.

He might as well take the chance to explore this vast and mysterious sacred mountain.

Perhaps he would find some other opportunity.

Once he had thought it through.

Long Fan was completely at ease.

Not having the Starlight Beast King as his mount was no big deal.

Reaching out to stroke the Beast King's magnificent Spiral Horn, Long Fan spoke.

"Since that's the case, I'll still choose my mount companion by activating the teleportation array."

The Starry Unicorn King rubbed against the relieved Long Fan, once again showing its affection.

Long Fan pondered for a moment.

Although he could not make it his mount companion, taking it for a ride to satisfy his craving was still pretty nice.

Just like in his previous life—who didn't love BMWs and Mercedes?

To men, a car was like a second wife in life.

And the Starry Unicorn King before him was practically the Maserati of the vehicle world!

Anyone who said they didn't want to drive it was definitely lying.

So...

"However, before leaving the Sacred Mountain, I still plan to travel around for a while.

I'm unfamiliar with this place, so I wonder if you could..."

But before Long Fan could finish, the Starlight Beast King directly nodded its head.

"Honored God Favored One of the God of Light, if you do not mind, I am willing to serve as your temporary mount.

During this time, I shall follow you as you travel throughout this Sacred Mountain."

For Long Fan, who radiated a sacred aura of light from head to toe, it naturally wanted to remain by his side longer.

Even if it ultimately could not become his contracted mount, it would have no regrets if he rode it.

Absorbing some of that pervasive origin of light would also be of great benefit to its own advancement.

So, it agreed without hesitation.

Long Fan was naturally delighted by the Starlight Beast King's straightforwardness.

Who wouldn't love a free Maserati in another world?

Just then.

An unpleasant voice rang out.

"Tut, tut. I was wondering who it was.

You actually want to obtain a Starry Unicorn as a mount? You really don't know your place!"

There was three parts disdain and seven parts arrogance in the voice.

Long Fan's gaze immediately sharpened.

Even without turning around, he could roughly guess who had come.

Long Fan did not really want to bother with this kind of brain-dead villain who loved coming to his doorstep to get beaten up.

From within the dense bushes came a soft rustling.

A massive blue figure emerged.

It was a gigantic dragon-shaped magical beast, standing twenty-eight feet tall.

Its body stretched over forty feet long.

Its entire body was azure blue and covered in thick scales.

Its hind legs were especially sturdy.

Its front limbs were raised high.

It was none other than a Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon.

A high-tier Level 7 magical beast.

It was also a draconic subspecies, somewhat superior to ordinary earth dragons.

Though it was a little gluttonous.

Seated atop its broad dragon back was Gui Wu, who had spoken mockingly.

His eyes were full of smug pride.

In less than a day or two, he had found himself a mount.

And the blue dragon beneath him was comparable to the Dragon Eagle owned by his own father, Gui Ying.

Though luck had played a large part in it.

But in the end, he had managed to coax her over through relentless pestering and a bit of shameless trickery.

With a level-seven mount, he was brimming with confidence.

Gui Wu had always been arrogant by nature, so naturally, he had come over this time to show off.

Yet he found that the other party was completely unmoved.

Facing the massive Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon, now fully revealed in all its size, Long Fan's expression did not change.

Looking at Gui Wu's smug expression, he shook his head.

Why did clowns like this always come knocking?

Ignoring Gui Wu, he merely looked up at the dragon.

"Hehe, Xiao Lan, you don't recognize me already?"

Wasn't the Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon before him one of those flightless dragon species Long Fan had rejected before?

Yet Gui Wu had stumbled into absurdly good luck and happened to encounter her.

The Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon's pupils contracted. Clearly, she had recognized Long Fan as well.

With a sharp flick, she threw him off.

Their relationship had mostly been maintained through food, so Gui Wu was unable to command her at this moment.

His swagger did not even last three seconds.

Caught completely off guard, he was flung into the bushes.

Meanwhile, the carefree Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon strode over with nimble steps.

She rubbed against Long Fan, who was a natural embodiment of light.

Though her attribute was wood.

That did not stop the Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon from feeling close to Long Fan.

As a symbol of light, he made her desperately want to become his contracted mount.

The only hateful thing was that she could not grow wings.

Long Fan stroked the Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon's blue tail.

Then he muttered a few words to her.

The Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon nodded.

Then she turned around.

And ran back into the bushes.

Having fallen from the back of a dragon nearly ten meters tall.

Gui Wu climbed to his feet with leaves all over his head.

He looked utterly miserable.

His mind was completely blank.

His mount, with whom he had not even had time to properly build a relationship, had just run off like that?

He had painstakingly built up the tiniest connection by offering rations and picking fruit.

And just like that!

It snapped.

Damn it!

That made no sense!!

He stood there stupidly, watching the blue figure gradually disappear.

But before leaving, the Blue Silver Tyrant Dragon let out a thunderous fart.

That counted as her return gift to Gui Wu.

The stench carried a mixed smell of rations, fruit, and other things.

It nearly knocked Gui Wu unconscious.

Sigh, everything had been fine when he came.

But when he went back, his mount was gone.
