"Come quickly and greet Lord Leo and Lady Yaoyao Yao."
Benji naturally dared not be presumptuous in front of Leo, and immediately revealed Leo on his back, as well as Little Black Charcoal Yaoyao on Leo's shoulder, whose eyes were shining as she looked at the Gulu Beast.
"Greetings, Lord Leo."
"Greetings, Lady Yaoyao."
The Gulu Beast is no longer the ignorant beast it once was. The entire Jeft World trembles at the wizard's feet, and anyone who angers the wizard faces only the fate of extermination.
Over the years, countless lives have been wiped out. There was even a resistance force of hundreds of thousands, but they were all slaughtered in less than a month. Although they had the protection of their ancestor and the legendary Great Wizard, they also knew that the wizard was someone they absolutely could not offend.
Seeing the Great Wizard who protects the propagation and inheritance of the entire race descend upon us now is even more heartwarming than seeing our own ancestors.
Although these Gulu Beast didn't know how to cook human food, they still treated Leo Leo their best food.
Piles of wild fruit and rivers of blood from wild beast carcasses—this must be the most delicious food in the eyes of the Gulu Beast.
"Sir, they don't understand anything, please don't take it to heart."
Benji nearly fainted when he saw the scene. On top of the pile of wild animal carcasses, he also saw many insects that had been dug out of the ground and were trying to run away.
I wonder which unlucky kid dug this up. Could this really be something for Lord Leo to eat?
Benji apologized repeatedly, realizing that the current situation could completely shatter his perfect image in Leo's eyes.
"It's alright, we've had plenty of barbecue before."
Leo was content as long as he could sense the intentions of these Gulu Beast; he never cared what they ate.
How can a superior demonstrate their magnanimity in front of a subordinate? Leo has a good grasp of this.
Just as he said, Leo seemed to have come to accompany Benji on a family visit, spending half a month in the forest without going anywhere else.
Leo spends his free time thinking about his combat system and flipping through the wizard books he always carries with him.
As for Yaoyao now, Leo gets a headache just thinking about that name...
Yao Yao, Yaoyao a blank slate, couldn't stay still at all. Leo couldn't get her to sit still for even a minute.
I've been hanging out with a bunch of underage Gulu Beast ever since I arrived here.
Even though the Gulu Beast weren't adults, they were still several sizes bigger than Yaoyao. Yaoyao sat directly on the heads of these Gulu Beast, leading tens of thousands of underage Gulu Beast to cause trouble all day long in the forest.
Today, they drive some race from their homeland; tomorrow, they strip hundreds of trees of their leaves; and the day after, they are chased all over the world by bee-like creatures.
Yaoyao, who used to be afraid of everything, has now turned into a little rascal who bullies men and women!
Leo might not care about Yaoyao's safety, but Benji can't. If something happens to this ancestor on his own turf, Leo won't lift a finger; he'll have to skin himself alive and apologize to Leo.
Therefore, Benji dispatched almost all of its level 1 or higher Gulu Beast to protect this little ancestor. As long as this little ancestor was having fun, nothing else mattered.
Leo felt truly helpless in the face of Yaoyao.
When Yaoyao a blank slate, Leo didn't know how to teach her. Since he didn't have any children, he simply taught her using the educational methods available on Earth.
They started with cognitive learning. Yaoyao and Leo shared the same soul and learned very quickly, completing the basic education on Earth in just one day.
Then he went to learn about wizardry. Leo hoped to cultivate Yaoyao into a capable soul partner who could share some of his work, just like Gavarci's soul partner Lilith, who was a master potion maker.
Leo simply thought reading was too slow, so he had Yaoyao look through his memories. These memories, directly imprinted on the soul, would be absorbed faster and better.
But somehow, Yaoyao stumbled upon film and television materials from Earth and picked up a whole host of bad habits before Leo even noticed.
When Leo discovered this, it was all over Yaoyao could even unleash more authentic Chinese curses than Leo!!!
Although Leo later forced her to learn the necessary knowledge, some bad habits seemed to be etched into Yaoyao's soul and couldn't be changed...
Sometimes Leo wondered whether Yaoyao learned to be bad later in life or was born with a bad gene.
If one is born with bad genes, doesn't that mean there's something wrong with one's soul?
To prevent Yaoyao from offending people by making a sudden remark, Leo had already given Yaoyao a gag order. He had thought that once they arrived in Benji's territory, Yaoyao would relax a bit, but in less than an hour, she revealed her true colors and started causing trouble everywhere.
"I hope he's going through a rebellious phase right now."
Leo couldn't change Yaoyao's personality, so he could only pin his hopes on a vague and unfounded excuse.
Counting from when she first met Leo, Yaoyao is indeed at an age where she's disliked by everyone, from her maternal grandparents to her uncles and even dogs. What if things improve in a few years?
" Leo, Leo, what do you think of my new little brother?"
Yaoyao rode a Gulu Beast that was only a size bigger than her and seemed to be still nursing. She shouted and charged wildly towards Leo. The little Gulu Beast was too small and could not control its body well. It crashed directly into Leo's leg.
Even without unlocking his Bloodline Power and becoming Hunter, Leo's physical attributes were still top-notch. For a Gulu Beast that hadn't even been weaned to crash into Leo's leg was no easier than hitting a steel plate at full speed.
" Gulu... Gulu "
The little Gulu Beast was in so much pain that tears streamed down its face, and it kept making Gulu Gulu.
The name Gulu Beast Gulu Beast comes from the fact that when it was young, it could only make Gulu "Gulu, hence the name Gulu Beast.
"Damn, my little brother's no good, he doesn't even know how to brake."
Cursing, Yaoyao disappeared from the head of the 'car accident' Gulu Beast and instantly appeared on the body of another Gulu Beast.
It's remarkable that his calves, which are shorter than fingernails, could hold onto the fur of the Gulu Beast and prevent himself from falling off.
Yaoyao caught a throbbing vein on Leo's forehead out of the corner of her eye, and immediately covered her mouth and ran away.
"Watch me, the King Yaoyao, charge in and out of him seven times!"
Hearing Yao Yao's foul Yaoyao, Leo was so angry that he stomped on the large blue stone beneath him and crushed it. How could she do this?! How could she do this?!
Seeing Benji approach, Leo forcibly suppressed his anger and tried to calm himself down. There would be plenty of time to discipline Yaoyao later.
Leo swore that if he didn't train him, he wouldn't be human!
"They've left?" Leo asked.
"Let's go, Lord Leo."
Benji handed the still-crying, unweaned Gulu Beast to the adult Gulu behind him. He was used to it; Yaoyao had made an average of two hundred little Gulu Beast cry every day recently.
The only good news is that not a single Gulu Beast has died yet!
"It's good that you're gone. You've been secretly observing me for so long, it's time for you to leave."
Leo, a wizard, suddenly returned to the Jeft World. Although he had a perfect reason, there were still wizards secretly observing Leo.
After observing Li Xi in secret for a full two weeks, the wizard finally left only after confirming that Leo had indeed made no further moves.
However, this wizard, who thought he hadn't been discovered, had no idea that his clandestine actions were being observed by Leo and Benji.
"Sir, should we...?"
Benji's single eye looked towards a spot in the forest, the exact location that Leo had obtained from the Crystal Heart.
"No rush, wait another half month. During this time, you should keep busy and don't let anyone see through your act."
Leo has no shortage of time, nor any shortage of patience. He can treat this as just a way to relax, and he will do everything he can to be safer.
After half a month had passed and no wizards were secretly observing, Leo stood up, reached out, and pulled Leo, Yaoyao was wandering around somewhere, out of the shadows.
Leo hadn't wasted these years; he had been secretly pondering the matter of soul partners and had already discovered many ways to Yaoyao.
Just like what he did just now, no matter where Yaoyao is, Leo can use the connection between the two to bring her back.
"What are you doing? Do you know what you're doing? You've ruined my chance to unify the forest! You've crushed the grand ambition of a man who was about to become the king of the forest!"
Yaoyao's Xiao Si struggled incessantly in Leo Leo's hands, trying to break free and continue his great work.
Leo plucked a few ants from Yaoyao's body and teased, "What, your so-called unification of the forest is just defeating these ants?"
Yaoyao looked at the ant so close to her and fell silent for a moment, then immediately retorted loudly, "What do you know? Heroes all start with small difficulties and hardships. What hero encounters a world-destroying demon king right after starting their conquest?"
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."
"But we need to get down to business now. If you can handle this for me, I'll be willing to call you the King of the Forest."
Leo was powerless to argue with Yaoyao. After this happened three times, anyone would give up arguing.
Because what Yaoyao doing wasn't a discussion at all, it was just arguing for the sake of arguing!!!
"Is it about to begin? Great! Other heroes start with small difficulties, but I, the Forest King Yaoyao, am born to face the world-destroying Demon King!!"
" Leo, it's an honor for you to be with King Yaoyao today..."
Yaoyao was still shouting loudly when Leo pointed at her, and all the words Yaoyao was about to say stopped in her throat.
Leo has once again given him a gag order!!
Leo slung Yaoyao over his shoulder and walked towards his destination with a sigh.
Feeling the tingling sensation on his cheeks, Yaoyao used his short arms to frantically pound Leo's cheeks.
Leo Xifu
This little thing is so torturous!!!
He's so energetic that Leo wishes he could sleep for ten or eight years!
Benji cannot go with them this time. He needs to lead the Gulu Clan to guard the forest and report any unusual situations to Leo immediately.
The only people involved in this operation are Leo and Yaoyao!
