Entrustment

The Chaos Origin Cultivation Method was also extraordinarily powerful and domineering. As Xiao Yu continued circulating it, the lightning power unleashed by the Heavenly Tribulation was directly refined into pure energy. After coursing through the meridians in his body, it transformed into Dou Qi and surged into Xiao Yu's Dantian.

At that moment, the emerald branches of the Life Divine Tree rooted in Xiao Yu's Dantian began to sway gently. A powerful aura of life swept through his entire body. The wounds split open by the lightning began to heal under this force, while the injuries within his body were slowly repaired as well. After a while, Xiao Yu abruptly opened his eyes, and two terrifying streams of glassy light burst forth from them.

Feeling the powerful strength within him, Xiao Yu suddenly rose to his feet. With a movement of his foot, his entire body shot into the sky like a phantom. Looking at the rolling black clouds above, he saw that the once pitch-black cloud layer had begun to fade, while the lightning had long since vanished. This meant that this lightning tribulation had passed!

The Purple Cloud Wings behind Xiao Yu's back trembled slightly, and he shot toward the clouds above. Wrapping Dou Qi around his fist, Xiao Yu punched toward the clouds. "You thieving heavens, taste your grandpa's punch!"

Boom!

Vast Dou Qi transformed into a fiery-red raging dragon that bared its fangs and claws as it pounced toward the dark clouds.

Only after that strike did the clouds gathered across the sky slowly disperse.

In the distance, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King watched Xiao Yu's figure floating in the sky, as graceful as an immortal, then glanced at the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lying beside him. Hesitation flickered in his eyes, but it quickly turned into resolve. As though he had made up his mind, he grabbed the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King with one paw, flapped his wings, and flew toward Xiao Yu.

Watching the clouds dissipate above, Xiao Yu finally vented some of his frustration and immediately felt much better. A breeze swept past, and Xiao Yu felt a little cold below. "Fuck!" Only then did Xiao Yu realize that his clothes had long been reduced to ashes in the Heavenly Tribulation. He hurriedly took out a new set of clothes from his Storage Ring and put them on.

"Human!" Xiao Yu suddenly heard a deep voice behind him. When he turned around, he was nearly scared to death. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was standing behind him.

Xiao Yu's entire body tensed at once, and the Dou Qi within him began circulating rapidly, ready for him to flee at any moment!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King seemed to notice Xiao Yu's nervousness and immediately said, "There is no need to be nervous. This is merely a grudge between that human woman and me!"

Xiao Yu frowned at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, unable to understand what he meant. Still, he was right, and with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's strength, Xiao Yu could not escape at all.

"What do you want?" Xiao Yu asked after a moment of silence. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had certainly come here because he wanted something from him. When Xiao Yu saw the little fellow beside the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King glaring at him angrily, he merely smiled faintly.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King glanced at the little fellow and said, "After experiencing your heavenly lightning, I can sense the changes here. The energy between heaven and earth seems to have grown denser. More importantly, your talent has greatly surprised me!"

Hearing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's assessment, Xiao Yu showed little reaction. He merely looked at him quietly and waited for what he would say next.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sighed. "I hope you can take my son outside and let him see the world. Staying by your side would be far better than having him live in the Monster Beast Mountain Range forever!"

Xiao Yu froze at once, and even the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King continued, "Our Purple Crystal Winged Lion King Clan has always been known for our formidable combat strength, yet our power has never been able to break through the limits of Sixth-Tier Magical Beasts. Perhaps only by venturing across the continent can there be substantial progress. My son has also become a Third-Tier Magical Beast. Compared with you humans, his strength is roughly at the Da Dou Shi level. Consider him your bodyguard. What do you say?"

"You're that certain I can help you? Aren't you afraid I'll harm your son?" Xiao Yu asked with a frown.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King laughed heartily. "I am a good judge of character, so naturally I trust you. But if his life is ever truly in danger, I hope you can help him!"

Xiao Yu looked deeply at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King before finally nodding in agreement. First, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was sincerely asking him. Second, he really did need a bodyguard at the Da Dou Shi level. Just as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had said, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was practically invincible among Da Dou Shi, and could even fight human experts at the Low-Level Dou Ling realm!

"Fine. In that case, I'll take him with me. If he grows and wishes to return someday, I absolutely won't stop him," Xiao Yu said to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King nodded slightly and glanced at the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King again. "You have to grow up eventually." With that, the purple wings behind his back flapped, and his massive body flew toward the mountains. The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's enormous beast eyes were filled with reluctance and grievance, but he did not follow. As he watched the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's figure gradually disappear, the little fellow let out a whimper and lay down on the ground.

Xiao Yu walked over and patted the little fellow on the head. "From now on, call me Big Brother, and I'll call you Little Zi!"

Seeing that Little Zi was in low spirits, Xiao Yu could only take out some Amethyst Source and hand it to him. After taking one look, Little Zi swept it up with his tongue and drank all the Amethyst Source in Xiao Yu's hand, finally recovering some of his energy.

With a soft laugh, Xiao Yu took Little Zi toward the cave. He planned to pack up, take Little White through the Monster Beast Mountain Range to Blackrock City, then visit his eldest and second brothers. While he was at it, he could check in at the Snake People Clan. Thinking it over, he had quite a lot to do!

After returning to the cave, Little White immediately pounced on Xiao Yu. During their time together, Little White had become as clingy as a kitten. The only thing he lacked was the ability to meow!

What puzzled Xiao Yu, however, was that the instant Little Zi saw Little White, he suddenly seemed extremely frightened. Little Zi felt an immensely powerful bloodline suppression. Such a situation only appeared between high-ranking magical beasts and even higher-ranking magical beasts. Little Zi could not understand why Little White carried an aura that made him want to submit!

Nestled in Xiao Yu's arms, Little White gave Little Zi an indifferent glance before closing his eyes. Little Zi immediately felt the pressure on his body ease, and that bloodline-suppressing aura disappeared. Yet Little Zi still looked fearfully at Little White. Xiao Yu happened to see this scene, but he did not think much of it!

After packing everything into his Storage Ring, Xiao Yu found himself troubled as he looked at Little Zi. Although the little fellow was not as massive as his father, he was still about the size of a full-grown lion. On top of that, he had wings. Going out like this would make him far too conspicuous.

Xiao Yu could only flip through the Pill Codex to see whether there was some Transformation Pill or other medicine that could alter Little Zi's appearance.

"Found it! A Shape-Shifting Pill. It changes a magical beast's appearance and size—a Second Grade Pill!" Upon seeing this pill, Xiao Yu hurriedly told Little White and Little Zi to stay in the cave. After going out alone to gather the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Shape-Shifting Pill, he returned to the cave and immediately refined it!

Watching as the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's appearance and size shrank considerably after swallowing the Shape-Shifting Pill, Xiao Yu could only offer one assessment: "How should I put this? No matter how I look at you, you resemble a Golden Retriever!"
