Elsewhere
Lin Yu had already arrived deep within the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, come out!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice rippling outward and instantly covering the entire Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Some low-ranking magical beasts fled in terror, keeping far away from where the voice had originated. The humans adventuring in the mountain range marveled at his power and likewise hurried away.
"I'd like to see who's being so arrogant!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been dozing off, was suddenly awakened by the voice. Enraged, she resolved to tear the intruder to pieces!
Before long, the Amethyst Winged Lion King arrived before Lin Yu. "You're the little brat who came looking for death?"
Lin Yu froze. "Are you sure you're not the one looking for death?"
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've encountered someone this arrogant..."
Bang!
Before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could finish speaking, her entire body was sent flying backward, smashing into a rock wall.
"Hiss... it hurts..." A burning pain shot through the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back. Even the slightest movement tugged at her wounds and made them ache fiercely.
In the next instant, Lin Yu appeared before the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "So, who's the one looking for death now?" Lin Yu wore a "kind" smile.
Yet to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, that kindly smile was utterly terrifying, making her tremble inwardly.
"This lowly one failed to recognize your greatness and offended you, my lord. Please forgive me!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King said to Lin Yu in terror.
Damn it, this person was probably at least a Dou Zong! If I don't surrender now, this old lady is going to die! As the saying goes: a wise man submits to the circumstances!
Amethyst Winged Lion King: Huh? How do I know that saying?
Author: I made you know it!
Amethyst Winged Lion King: ...
"Ahem, I mainly came here for two things." Lin Yu cleared his throat, raised two fingers, and put on a solemn expression.
"Please speak, my lord. This lowly one will spare no effort."
"First, I want your Companion Purple Crystal Source! Second, I want you to be my mount! Yep, that's it!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stood there dumbfounded. You want a dignified sixth-rank magical beast like me to be your mount? Dream on!
"Um... about that..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated.
"What? You're unwilling? I heard lion whip soup is a great tonic!" Lin Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Um... I'm a lioness..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King felt utterly dead inside. How could he mistake her for a male?
Lin Yu slapped his forehead. "I forgot! You have a cub too! That cub's meat must be so fragrant and tender!"
"Please stop, my lord. I'll agree to anything, sob sob..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King wiped away tears at the side, utterly despairing. What sin had she committed? She went to sleep, woke up, and became someone's mount. Life was too hard.
"Hmm... I should give you a name. Amethyst Winged Lion King is too much of a mouthful! Hmm... let's call you Huzi! Yeah, that's a good one!" Lin Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a long while before finally deciding that "Huzi" would be the Amethyst Winged Lion King's name!
Amethyst Winged Lion King: After thinking for so long, that's the name you came up with! Is that even a human name? Bah! Is that even a lion's name?
"Um... my lord, call me Zi Ying instead!"
"Eh, that's good! Zi Ying... not bad, not bad! Fine, you'll be called Zi Ying!" Lin Yu readily agreed, patting the Amethyst Winged Lion King on the shoulder.
"My lord, can I bring my child with me?" Zi Ying asked as she wiped away tears of gratitude, relieved that she would not be called Huzi.
"Call me Master!"
"Yes, Ma... Master."
"Hmm... how old is your child? If it isn't cute, then no!"
"Cute, very cute! About the size of a kitten! Absolutely adorable!" Zi Ying nodded repeatedly.
"Fine, bring it along!"
Several months later, Yun Yun came here. Hm? Where was the Amethyst Winged Lion King? Without the Amethyst Winged Lion King, what was she supposed to do about her Companion Purple Crystal Source?
Above Qingshan Town
A young man could be seen riding a massive purple lion through the sky, with a little lion cradled in his arms.
The enormous lion radiated the aura of a Dou Emperor, incomparably imposing and noble.
The residents of Qingshan Town were terrified. Just who was the person riding atop that lion?
Though they did not know the young man's cultivation level, judging from the lion he rode, his identity could not be simple!
Lin Yu patted Zi Ying's back, signaling her to descend. Thus, one man and two lions landed before the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Xiao Yi Xian had watched Lin Yu from beginning to end at the entrance of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Seeing him make such an entrance gave her a headache. Couldn't he stop showing off like this?
"Have you packed everything? If you have, then let's go." Lin Yu smiled at Xiao Yi Xian.
"Y-yes, I have." Xiao Yi Xian still could not accept being watched in such a manner. She preferred people to treat her equally.
"Get on!"
Zi Ying was unwilling. "I don't want this weak human riding on my back!"
The corner of Xiao Yi Xian's mouth twitched. She had originally been astonished that this lion could speak, but after hearing what it said, her face darkened. What was wrong with me, huh? In the later stages, anyone who touched me would die!
Lin Yu's face immediately sank at Zi Ying's words. Damn it, Lin Yu had given you face, hadn't he? If I don't beat you up, you'll float so high you won't even know your own name!
Feeling Lin Yu's vicious gaze, Zi Ying instantly cowered.
Her eyes darted around as she quickly changed her tune. "Uh... this little girl's aptitude looks pretty good. She'll definitely become a powerhouse in the future, so I'll reluctantly let you ride me!"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyelid twitched. This lion really understood human nature—she even knew how to read the room? At the same time, she could not help but admire Lin Yu's strength.
Everyone knew that only sixth-tier magical beasts could speak, and a sixth-tier magical beast was equivalent to a human Dou Emperor. Yet this lion, with the strength of a Dou Emperor, was actually being ridden by someone. One could imagine how formidable that person was—or how powerful the family behind him had to be.
Lin Yu pulled Xiao Yi Xian onto Zi Ying's back, where she sat in front of him.
"Here, this little one is for you."
Lin Yu placed the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King into Xiao Yi Xian's hands. It was fast asleep at the moment. Seemingly feeling uncomfortable, it nuzzled deeper into Xiao Yi Xian's arms, and bubbles began forming from its nose again.
Xiao Yi Xian looked delighted. This was way too cute! Her hand could not help but stroke the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's fur.
"Thank you!" She gave Lin Yu a sweet smile, then continued petting the lion with full focus!
