Not just him.
He Ling's eyes revealed an even harder-to-conceal astonishment.
An Ning was still young. Naturally, she could not be like Chen Xun, casting her gaze upon those two little auspicious beasts and fencing off a patch of land for them to live on by themselves.
The following year, He Ling had already kept An Ning by her side, protecting it with her own body so it would not suffer the physical suppression of the Divine Mountain Continent's aura. Wherever she went, it followed like a little tagalong.
Upon the vast earth.
"Big Brother, Little An Ning..." Shock flickered in He Ling's gaze as she watched the White Body Little Elephant spinning and running in the distance. "It can actually devour Heavenly Foundation Stones?"
Gales howled here and dust billowed everywhere. Of course, Big Black Ox had caused all of it.
A hundred li away lay a great mine pit spanning ten thousand li. The Immortal Realm—Time Void Realm—was quite far from the World Breaking Ship, a hundred thousand li to the northwest. From here, only a blurred outline could be seen.
Today, He Ling had brought An Ning to "visit" Big Brother and Second Brother. They came once every year, but who could have expected that an unusual amount of fine Heavenly Foundation Stone fragments would be drifting through the air this year? An Ning had swallowed them by accident!
The heterochromatic pupils in her eye sockets emerged as she continuously observed An Ning's internal condition.
"...Damn it."
Chen Xun slowly swallowed, his eyes filled with astonishment. Then he said solemnly, "Third Sister, this is a purebred wastrel. It can even swallow Heavenly Foundation Stones whole."
His breathing quickened considerably. For years, he had strictly controlled the little elephant's food intake, fearing that it would develop an appetite.
