Those words truly struck Bei Bei where it hurt. Whether it was Xiao Ya, Elder Mu, or everyone at Shrek, wasn't the mastermind behind all the trouble they had been put through finally stepping into the open?
At a time like this, telling Elder Mu that he did not want to absorb the Soul Ring Elder Mu had condensed—how was that any different from being a coward who hid with his head tucked in?
Bei Bei's gaze grew resolute. Since heaven had deliberately laid out such a difficult yet bright path before him, what was there for him to hesitate over?
Beside Bei Bei, a Thunder Pegasus standing a full five meters tall silently appeared. Lightning flowed across the surface of the white feathers on its body as it curiously examined Mu En before it.
As a Soul Beast with a cultivation of seventy-eight thousand years, the Thunder Pegasus Bei Bei had chosen naturally possessed considerable intelligence.
Thus, after sensing that it might have to deal with Mu En for quite a long time in the future, the Thunder Pegasus quickly trotted over, circled Mu En a few times, then rubbed its head against him. It even stuck out its tongue and licked Mu En.
Seeing such intimacy, even Bei Bei felt a little envious.
Unhurriedly, Mu En stroked the Thunder Pegasus's neck. This fine steed had a most unusual appearance.
Its body resembled that of a horse, but its head vaguely carried several draconic features. Pale blue scales extended from its forehead down the back of its neck and across its entire spine.
Most eye-catching of all was the gemstone on its forehead, which contained lightning power and radiated a brilliant glow.
"This little fellow is quite clever. It knows to help you secure more resources."
Mu En chuckled
