The Young Beast God
This is the Beast God, the being that He Lun has been plotting for years to reappear in the world, and also the being who uprooted her Spirit Root in the book.
Sang Ying rubbed her throbbing head. It wasn't until she had looked the guy over that she remembered that the Beast God named Bai Ji in the original book looked exactly like this when he revealed his true form to protect Su Fuyun.
However, by that time, Bai Ji had already reached adulthood, so its true form was dozens of times larger than the White Dumpling it is now, and its fangs were also very long, making it look nothing like its current silly appearance.
The smile on Sang Ying's face vanished completely. She slowly stood up, the spot where He Lun had hit her still throbbing slightly. Fortunately, the Floating River Sword fell with her as she fell.
Having a weapon in hand lessened Sang Ying's fear somewhat.
Seeing that the outsider didn't seem to be doing anything to him, the little Beast God gradually grew bolder and moved closer to her.
The Beast God is powerful; he was born with the ability to command all Demon Beast.
It is precisely because of this power that the Beast God is coveted by many cultivators.
To prevent the new Beast God from being exploited by those with ulterior motives before its successful descent, the deceased Beast God would create a space on its own remains that no one could enter.
The new Beast God will be reborn from the bones of the old Beast God and grow into adulthood in this hidden space. Only after absorbing all the energy from the bones will it tear open the space and appear in the world.
However, the previous Beast God did not die of natural causes; he perished in an accident in his prime. No one knows whether a new life could be conceived from the body of Beast God who died in this way, nor does anyone know where the bones of the former Beast God ended up.
Perhaps He Lun originally thought that a new Beast God would be born on its own, but after waiting for ten thousand years without any other movement on that calm sea, he took a risk and retrieved the bones of the Beast God himself, hoping to use this to give birth to a new Beast God.
But he never expected that a new Beast God had already been born. However, the sea was too deep and dark, and the previous Beast God had died too early and lacked sufficient energy. Therefore, even after ten thousand years of growth, the new Beast God had not yet come of age.
Sang Ying tilted her head and looked at the white ball in front of her. The ball didn't feel threatened by her and tentatively extended its claws.
Sang Ying's feelings towards the Beast God were actually somewhat complicated.
On one hand, she couldn't forget the pain Bai Ji felt when she personally dug out her own Spirit Root in that dream. But looking at the little Beast God who hadn't even come of age yet, Sang Ying felt that this seemingly foolish guy in front of her was nothing like the Bai Ji of the past.
She couldn't dodge the White Dumpling's claws in the end. The creature happily poked at the Storage Bag at her waist for a while, staring at her with its big eyes, as if expecting her to take the Storage Bag off and give it to it.
Sang Ying pondered for a moment, then reached out and took out some important items from the Storage Bag. She then tossed the bag to the White Dumpling and let it play with it.
Strangely, after the Storage Bag was given to the White Dumpling, the guy suddenly lost interest in Storage Bag and continued to excitedly fiddle with Sang Ying's hand.
Seeing this, Sang Ying sighed helplessly, "You really know how to pick things! You even know where to find good stuff."
But Sang Ying naturally wouldn't give it these good things easily. She was already being merciful by not harming the Beast God, so there was no reason for her to give it the good things she had to play with.
But the White Dumpling fluff was incredibly patient. No matter what Sang Ying did afterward, it followed closely, its round eyes fixed on what she was holding.
After stalling Sang Ying for a long time, Sang Ying finally gave in to its round face and said, "Fine, I'll show you, just a look."
Although she herself knew that in the end it would definitely be more than just taking a look.
Sang Ying laid out the good stuff one by one. The White Dumpling didn't even glance at the Realm Pearl, various Spirit Crystal, and many Law Artifacts in front of it. It wasn't until Sang Ying took out a jade box that it had forgotten what was inside that the White Dumpling suddenly twitched its nose, as if it had smelled something it liked.
The White Dumpling immediately became excited, its fluffy paws gently patting Sang Ying's Sang Ying, giving her the impression that it was being affectionate.
Sang Ying opened the jade box and discovered that it contained dragon scales and dragon teeth that Bai Qinglong had given her.
She had kept these things with her for many years. Although she used some at first, she kept them and refused to touch them again. She wanted to return them to the White Dragon Tribe when she sent the Dragon Abyss Sword back to the Upper Realm one day.
"So this is what you like," Sang Ying murmured softly.
As soon as the jade box was opened, the White Dumpling became excited and circled around Sang Ying even more happily than before. Then it came back and frantically rubbed against Sang Ying's arms and legs.
But it underestimated its size and strength, and with a few forceful rubs, it knocked Sang Ying to the ground.
Sang Ying was overwhelmed by the White Dumpling's enthusiasm, but still said, "I can't give you all of these things; I want to keep some for others as keepsakes."
The White Dumpling couldn't really understand what she was saying; it could only tell her refusal from the way she closed the lid.
This guy has a temper too. When he realized that all his efforts to please Sang Ying hadn't yielded any benefits, he immediately tossed his head, stomped his feet, and stormed off in a huff.
Sang Ying almost burst out laughing, but after thinking for a moment, she took out a dragon scale first, since there were quite a few. "Wait, I can give you one of these first."
The White Dumpling turned its head and, seeing Sang Ying's action, knew that the fragrant thing was going to be its own.
It immediately forgot its previous unhappiness, ran back happily, and swallowed the scale from Sang Ying's hand!
Sang Ying was startled; she hadn't expected that this guy would ask her for dragon scales just to eat them!
She looked at the White Dumpling with some worry, fearing that the dragon scales entering its belly might cause some unpleasant changes. But after observing it for a while, the White Dumpling fluff showed no abnormalities, and Sang Ying finally felt relieved.
But just as Sang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, the White Dumpling of joyfully climbing the tree, almost bending it over, suddenly grew to twice its original size!
With a "crack," the tree that had been with the White Dumpling for many years finally broke completely under the unbearable weight.
The White Dumpling of fluff on the tree was also thrown down, and because its body was so round, it even rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Sang Ying could almost hear the soft, delicate "chirp" it made as it fell.
Sang Ying: "Oh, that's what you call me."
White Dumpling:??! What did this Human Race discover?!
