For a moment, the Snow Mosquito King did not answer back. Instead, he quietly retreated to Li Yan's side. He was clever enough to know that speaking up now would only invite abuse.
Watching the two Demon Beasts start bickering the instant they met, Li Yan felt as though he had returned to Fengliang Mountain. The two of them had been exactly like this back then.
The difference was that the little Purple God Dragon-Elephant now truly possessed a physical body and had advanced to become a third-tier Demon Beast.
Although their brief exchange had been no more than a tentative test, Li Yan could sense that the little Purple God Dragon-Elephant was probably only slightly weaker than an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator.
The little Purple God Dragon-Elephant's body had only just formed, and his cultivation was still somewhat unstable. Once he had some time to consolidate it, facing a mid-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator should be no problem.
The little Purple God Dragon-Elephant turned back to Li Yan, his eyes brimming with anticipation. Li Yan pondered briefly.
"You shall be called Zi Kun. In time, I trust you will possess the might of Kunlun, tearing dragons and tigers apart with your bare hands!"
"Thank you for granting me a name, Master. From now on, I shall walk the path of immortality under this name!"
Delight spread across the young Zi Kun's face.
"Master, you can't play favorites like this. What about me?"
The Snow Mosquito King stood on Li Yan's shoulder and immediately voiced his dissatisfaction, inwardly annoyed that he had not thought of this himself.
He was a complete Demon Beast, unlike that little elephant, who had previously been nothing more than a remnant soul and truly would not have cared whether he had a name.
