Chapter 690: Are you really going to give me some?
...
Things were starting to get a bit complicated.
The surrounding air seemed somewhat scorching...
The Celestial Jade Lion sensed it.
Not one, not a few... but dozens.
Dozens of terrifying auras, deep as abysses, intense as erupting volcanoes, and dreadful as awakening ancient gods, instantly locked onto it firmly.
Each aura was as heavy as mountains, as profound as oceans, containing terrifying realm pressure.
Those cold, greedy, scorching gazes all fell upon it simultaneously, as if examining a piece of plump meat.
As a natural-born innate spiritual being, when had it ever been scrutinized with such blatant stares?
The Celestial Jade Lion lowered its claw, slowly twisted its neck, turning inch by inch with extreme stiffness as it looked around.
Its vision no longer showed the barren basin from before.
What came into view was a massive plaza.
At the edges of the plaza stood dozens of figures.
Some old, some young; some tall, some short; some fat, some thin.
Some had white hair and beards, with immortal grace and transcendent bones; some had cold, stern faces, with killing intent restrained within.
Some... even wore strange robes, sitting on a square, peculiar magical tool, watching it with keen interest.
But without exception!
The aura emanating from each one of them made the core deep within its body tremble.
It was absolute suppression at the life hierarchy level.
Especially that old monster kneeling at the very front, with densely packed flying swords floating around him and a cloth strip covering his eyes—his casual glance, even through the cloth, made the Celestial Jade Lion feel it would be sliced into jade marrow powder by those nine thousand swords in the next moment.
And then there was the man beside that little thief.
To have such an existence kneeling before him.
What level of existence was this man?!
Dozens of pairs of eyes.
Each pair frighteningly bright, like hungry fierce beasts spotting plump prey.
The greed and fervor surging within them almost materialized into actual flames that would melt it.
They even unconsciously leaned forward slightly, like a pack of wolves ready to pounce, waiting only for a signal to completely tear it apart and divide it up!
The air throughout the plaza seemed to have solidified into lead blocks, so heavy that the Celestial Jade Lion's massive body found it hard to breathe. Only the faint buzzing from the unconsciously vibrating flying swords, like death-dealing demonic sounds, drilled into its jade marrow crystal "ears."
Within the Celestial Jade Lion's throat, filled with destructive power—that dazzling purple-gold light sphere, like a punctured bubble, silently extinguished.
Its sharply raised claw, ready to smash everything, froze mid-air, then extremely slowly, extremely carefully... retracted.
The earth-shaking roar in its throat, as if choked by an invisible giant hand, completely changed tone in the latter half.
"Roar——……Woo……Awoo? (´;ω;`)"
Ultimately turning into a whimper filled with grievance, confusion, terror, and even a hint of fawning.
Its massive purple-gold body, extremely humbly, bit by bit lowered itself, finally burying its huge head between its two front paws, only revealing a pair of purple-gold eyes still flickering with panic, cautiously stealing glances at the terrifying figures surrounding it that made its soul tremble.
Right now, it just wanted to shrink into a ball of stone, invisible to everyone.
...
The Celestial Jade Lion was ultimately beaten up badly.
After all, it had threatened the sect master, and threatening the sect master meant threatening the ancestor. As old monsters of the Moon Shadow Sect, could they tolerate such a thing?
Of course not.
Moreover, if they didn't beat it up, the ancestor wouldn't see their 'effort' process, wouldn't witness their performance.
So they had to vigorously beat the Celestial Jade Lion, and since the Celestial Jade Lion was useful to the sect, they couldn't kill it either.
Given that the Celestial Jade Lion was a natural-born spirit of heaven and earth, even though its body was composed of Celestial Jade Marrow crystals, it was still flesh and blood.
So some old monsters secretly stuffed pills into the Celestial Jade Lion's mouth, and upon discovering it was effective, the group of old monsters immediately beat it even more enthusiastically.
Thus it became a cycle of a handful of pills followed by a beating.
Five hours later.
The Celestial Jade Lion's enormous body lay before Chen Huaian, not daring to move an inch.
"So you're the one who wanted to attack this venerable one's disciple? Hmm?" Chen Huaian tapped on the Celestial Jade Lion's huge horn.
"Woo woo woo..." The Celestial Jade Lion lifted a face deformed from beating, shaking its head repeatedly, then kowtowing fiercely.
"From now on, you'll stay in my Moon Shadow Sect and provide top-grade spirit jade for my Moon Shadow Sect. Any objections?"
The Celestial Jade Lion shook its head again.
What objections would it dare to have...
Better not get beaten up again later.
However, coming to this realm felt more comfortable to it than staying in the previous one.
Although the spiritual energy here was different from that of the Celestial Jade Marrow, it was much more concentrated.
Absorbing the spiritual energy here to produce Celestial Jade Marrow wasn't a loss for it, it just couldn't be as gluttonous as before...
The Celestial Jade Lion felt miserable inside.
"To ensure you behave properly in the sect when this venerable one isn't around, you must form a contract with me."
Chen Huaian extended a finger and pressed it against the Celestial Jade Lion's forehead. As a drop of vital essence seeped in, Chen Huaian's divine sense was imprinted deep within the Celestial Jade Lion's soul.
In reality, his divine sense couldn't affect the Celestial Jade Lion much.
But if in the Cangyun Realm, a single thought from him could determine the Celestial Jade Lion's life or death.
And the moment the soul imprint was established, the character information panel's pet section, besides Muscle Tyrant, now also included information about the Celestial Jade Lion.
[Celestial Jade Lion: Age 1 day - Natural-born innate spirit creature, refined into sentience from Celestial Jade Marrow, capable of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy to produce premium-grade Celestial Jade Marrow, feeds on spiritual energy and various treasure ores.]
Oh, it can even produce premium-grade Celestial Jade Marrow?
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes. Well now, the Moon Shadow Sect wouldn't lack resources anymore.
A situation like the Celestial Jade Lion's was the classic case of eating grass but producing milk. Expecting it to produce Celestial Jade Marrow without eating anything was impossible; even natural-born spirits of heaven and earth had to follow biological energy conservation.
Chen Huaian casually took out some ores from the Cangyun Realm that weren't very valuable.
These ores didn't contain spiritual energy, but they contained thunder elemental energy and fire elemental energy—heaven and earth energies that ordinary cultivators couldn't directly absorb. But if ordinary cultivators couldn't absorb them, perhaps the Celestial Jade Lion could?
He originally thought the Celestial Jade Lion would be very disdainful of these spirit-energy-less ores.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Jade Lion's eyes immediately lit up, gazing eagerly at Chen Huaian, its huge purple-gold eyes filled with disbelief.
As if asking Chen Huaian.
—You're really giving this to me to eat?
Seeing the Celestial Jade Lion's greedy expression, Chen Huaian couldn't help but form a thought.
Was it possible...
That the Celestial Jade Lion really loved eating these waste materials?
And not just premium items like Celestial Jade Marrow?
The reason it stayed on Earth Star guarding and eating Celestial Jade Marrow was because there was no other food available on Earth Star?
