After a moment's thought, Liu Changxu asked his mother, "Mother, why didn't you go to the meeting?"
His mother, Lin Yulian, smiled. "Your father represented me, so I didn't take part. After all, they were discussing who would join the expedition. Right now, all I care about is guarding Peach Blossom Mountain. Once you and your father leave, only the elderly, children, and women will remain here. I'm really worried we won't be able to defend it! Why don't you stay and guard Peach Blossom Mountain, Xu'er?"
Liu Changxu smiled. "Don't worry, Mother! The Yellow Mountain Lion has already broken through to the second tier. I'll leave him on Peach Blossom Mountain!"
Lin Yulian's face lit up with delighted surprise. "Really?"
To reassure his mother, Liu Changxu released the Yellow Mountain Lion from his Spirit Beast Bag.
A majestic, powerfully built golden lion with a formidable aura immediately appeared before them.
His son, Liu Han, who had never seen the Yellow Mountain Lion before, was frightened into bawling, while his daughter, Liu Jiao, could no longer stay still in her father's arms. With one leap, she landed on the Yellow Mountain Lion's back.
Ever since she was little, the girl had loved playing with Liu Changxu's spirit beasts and had often romped about on the Yellow Mountain Lion's back. Even though he was now a second-tier demon beast, he showed not the slightest resistance when she jumped onto his back, just as he always had.
Once his mother, Lin Yulian, saw that the Yellow Mountain Lion had advanced to the second tier, the worry on her face immediately vanished. In all honesty, she had very little confidence in her ability to guard Peach Blossom Mountain. She knew her own shortcomings: her combat skills were among the worst of any Foundation
