Shen Bing understood why the Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage was unhappy. It was like a prisoner who had finally escaped, only to be caught by the police again.
He looked around. Aside from the Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage, an elegant white lion lay nearby. Even Shen Bing's sudden appearance failed to draw a sideways glance from her. Her gaze remained fixed on the little lion beside her.
That was also a white lion. As for "little," that was only in comparison to the Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage and the large white lion.
At its current size, it could easily rival an ordinary male lion on Earth.
This was the Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage's offspring? Damn, it hadn't inherited a single one of his genes. It took entirely after its mother.
Shen Bing had no intention of entertaining the Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage's resentment. He asked, "Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage, now that your cub has been born, can you return to the Marvelous Solemn Palace with me to see Celestial Venerable Taiyi?"
The Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage cast a reluctant glance at the white lion and the "little" lion curled up beside her.
"Brother Primordial Sage!" the white lion called. Though she was currently a lion, her elegance remained unmistakable. Her cry held a question, apprehension, and reluctance to part.
The Nine-Spirit Primordial Sage sighed. "I'll go back and see that old man first. After all the years we've weathered together, he won't do anything to me. I'll find a way to escape again afterward. Stay here for now. As long as you don't leave this cave, that old man won't be able to divine Xiao You's existence, and neither of you will be in any danger."
The white lion said sorrowfully, "Brother Primordial Sage, you must come back as soon as you can!"
