Making the Dragon Clan Guard the Door? Awesome
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Duobao froze.
So-called spirit pets
were simply beings from the Demon Clan.
Many cultivators took beings from the Demon Clan as mounts or fighting companions.
But only powerful cultivators could do such a thing.
The current period was an extremely sensitive one.
If one had not even entered the Great Luo realm,
then one absolutely could not afford to provoke the Demon Clan.
Although the Demon Clan's reign had drawn to a close and they were no longer overlords of heaven and earth,
they still could not be trifled with.
Without some strength and backing,
taking a member of the Demon Clan as a pet would surely invite the clan's retaliation, wouldn't it?
Could it be that Lin Tian's true strength was already great enough for him to disregard the threat of the Demon Clan?
With that question in mind, he instinctively looked in the direction Lin Tian was pointing.
He was also curious about what kind of spirit pet this mysterious Fellow Daoist Lin Tian had raised.
Those thoughts flashed through his mind.
Duobao followed the direction of Lin Tian's finger.
Not far away,
a creature with dragon horns atop his head and the face of a wolf
had a body covered in snow-white scales that reflected a dazzling light.
He ambled over from the entrance.
A fish hung from his mouth.
After entering the courtyard,
Erha spotted Lin Tian sitting there from a distance.
His eyes lit up, and he ignored Duobao, who was sitting to the side.
He obediently walked over to Lin Tian.
Pat!
Erha pushed off the ground and jumped to Lin Tian's feet.
He put the fish down beside him, then rubbed his head against Lin Tian's pant leg.
He looked affectionate, as though he were trying to express something.
It was an ordinary enough sight.
But Duobao's eyes widened in an instant.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"What kind of demon is this?"
This is clearly Yazi, the Dragon Clan's second son!?
Why has he transformed into this form? Is he injured?
The dignified legitimate son of the Dragon Clan.
His strength should be at least at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal level.
Yet he's become someone else's pet, and he's so obedient?
That doesn't match the rumors!
As these thoughts ran through Duobao's mind,
a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
He turned his head slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Tian.
This is definitely Yazi. I saw him once a long time ago.
He can make the narrow-minded Yazi stay here obediently. Add to that the unusually abundant spiritual Qi of heaven and earth here, and this Lin Tian is definitely not as simple as he appears.
Just as Duobao was thinking this,
the next moment,
Lin Tian's words left him standing there in a daze.
"Well done."
"This fish will count as your apology."
"I'll find you something to eat in a bit."
"Go guard the door first."
Lin Tian casually picked up the fish beside him and gave Yazi an instruction.
Not long ago, Lin Tian had discovered that this Erha was different.
He seemed to understand what Lin Tian said.
Then again, this was the Primordial World.
If even Sages could exist, then Erha's fundamentally stupid nature could change too.
The Erha he had taken in had also had his intelligence upgraded.
Not only could he understand human speech, but he was also exceptionally obedient.
Now, when Lin Tian told him to catch a fish, he actually caught one.
That completely dispelled Lin Tian's desire to eat him.
Wouldn't it be great to keep such a smart Erha around to catch fish?
When Lin Tian's words fell,
Duobao, who was standing nearby, widened his eyes again.
His heart was filled with shock.
"Guard the door!!"
"Making Yazi of the Dragon Clan guard the door?!"
"Uh, this..."
The moment those thoughts crossed his mind,
he saw Yazi lower his head and give a whimper, then actually wag his tail and obediently walk to the entrance.
He lay down, looking perfectly well-behaved.
Seeing this,
Duobao was truly dumbfounded...
Yazi of the Dragon Clan was an obedient guard pet?
Wasn't he Yazi, narrow-minded and sure to repay every grudge?!
When had he changed his ways!?
Thinking this, Duobao abruptly raised his head, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Tian changed.
At that moment, he had only one thought-
Lin Tian! He's definitely not simple!
Just then,
Lin Tian's voice suddenly came from in front of him,
interrupting Duobao's thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist, now that we have a fish, why not stay and have a meal together?"
Hearing Lin Tian's words,
Duobao's expression tightened, and he hurriedly shook his head.
There was the presence of the Dragon Clan here.
Fellow Daoist Lin Tian had even made Yazi into a pet.
The Dragon Clan had always been arrogant. Even though they had fallen in the Great War of the Wu and Demons,
their pride remained.
The Dragon Clan's elders would certainly never stand by and let a legitimate son of the clan be someone else's pet.
If the Dragon Clan found out,
he might get dragged into it as well.
Although he was a Sage's disciple and did not fear the Dragon Clan,
during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, the best course was to stir up less trouble and focus on improving his strength.
Besides, he had now entered the Early-Stage Quasi-Saint realm. What need did he have for dinner?
What was more, his master had urgently summoned him back to Jin'ao Island. He had already been delayed for a long time, so naturally he could not stay any longer.
With that in mind, Duobao declined.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Fellow Daoist."
"I have urgent matters at home that require my attention. Let us meet again another day."
Seeing that Duobao was leaving,
Lin Tian did not press him and said,
"All right."
"Until fate brings us together again."
Lin Tian simply saw him off a short way, then carried the fish toward the bamboo house.
Duobao said nothing more. He slowly cupped his hands, turned, and headed for the courtyard entrance.
But before he reached the entrance,
he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
His primordial spirit instantly tightened.
He immediately looked ahead.
His pupils contracted sharply!
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes!
