Adorably Cute Beasts: The Ultimate Beloved Pet Who Captivates the World

Chapter 70 The Temperamental True Dragon Ancestor

A red light pierced through the smoke. Although Tao Tao couldn't see it clearly, her ears were sharp. Upon hearing the sound, she immediately transformed into her beast form and quickly dodged.

Then came several more red lights. Tao Tao was responsible for dodging them, while Bai Yan stood there calmly. With a slight reach of his hand, he easily caught three cloud fire needles between his fingers.

“Your cultivation is profound, and I do not wish to be your enemy. However, there is one thing I must ask you. If you can answer my question, I will leave immediately.”

Perhaps seeing that they couldn't be hurt even like this, the other party temporarily stopped. An old voice came from not far away. The voice sounded like it belonged to someone who was seventy or eighty years old. It was probably an old monster with profound cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to make such a blatant move.

"You are not qualified for me to answer your questions." Bai Yan said calmly. With a wave of his hand, he launched three cloud fire needles, which broke through the smoke and were aimed directly at the brown-robed old man in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the opponent acted so decisively, and the cloud fire needles that came out were far more powerful than his own, forcing him to take out his defensive magic weapon. But the defensive magic weapon was useless. The cloud fire needles struck it with a crisp impact, mixed with a powerful force, and instantly destroyed the defensive magic weapon.

The fire needle pierced the old man's left shoulder, and bright red blood instantly gushed out. He clutched his left shoulder in pain, staring at Bai Yan in disbelief, "You..."

"Awoo!" His attention was focused on Bai Yan, and he didn't notice that Tao Tao had quickly arrived behind him. It kicked off with its two hind legs, soared into the air, and opened its blood-red mouth to bite him.

"What!?" The old man in the brown robe was shocked and turned around abruptly, only to see that the white beast had already bitten his right shoulder, its sharp teeth piercing into his flesh, causing him to gasp in pain.

That doesn't make sense. His physical body has already been tempered; it shouldn't be so vulnerable. What kind of demonic beast is this? Why is it so powerful?

"Pah!" Tao Tao let go of him, stepped back, spat, and said with a look of disgust, "You're not tasty!"

The old man in the brown robe was completely bewildered. He thought that two mere cultivators were no match for him, but before the fight even started, he had already suffered a hidden loss, clearly no match for them at all.

"I apologize for my rudeness, senior. I hope you will forgive me. However, I have to complete the task assigned by my superiors. I hope you can answer a question for me: Did you obtain the orange-grade alchemy furnace that you traded at the trade fair from Xiao Bietian?"

Knowing he couldn't win, he didn't dare to force a fight, so he lowered his stance and asked, hoping the other party could answer his questions.

However, Bai Yan had a fiery temper. The other party had already angered him by attacking without saying a word, so he was unwilling to answer his question. Bai Yan's face darkened, and the surrounding air reached a critical point, as if it would be frozen at any moment. A layer of frost formed on the ground and spread to the man's feet.

As the frost spread, the old man in the brown robe sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat, but the frost instantly froze, turning into ice pillars that blocked his retreat. In the blink of an eye, he was locked in place by the ice pillars and could no longer move.

The old man in the brown robe deeply regretted not having experienced this feeling of being at the mercy of others for a long time. He had acted rashly without first assessing the other party's strength, resulting in being countered and having no power to retaliate.

Just then, Bai Yan raised his hand, and dozens of ice shards condensed, pointing directly at the brown-robed old man. Sensing the danger, the brown-robed old man hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, "Please forgive me, senior. It was my fault. I will never dare to do it again. I will leave now and will never dare to disturb you."

"Shut up." Bai Yan's eyes turned cold. With a slight movement of his fingers, an ice shard pierced through the brown-robed old man in an instant. He didn't even have a chance to cry for help before he turned into a corpse.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yan acted so cleanly and efficiently. Tao Tao transformed into human form and came to his side, looking at his face and realizing that he was really angry.

Indeed, the True Dragon Ancestor is not to be offended lightly, or one's life will be in danger.

"A Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator should have plenty of good stuff. Go and loot it yourself." Bai Yan said coldly, then turned and left indifferently. Tao Tao nodded, ran over and took off the brown-robed old man's storage bracelet, then searched his body thoroughly, not even letting go of a single spirit stone.

After taking all the items, Tao Tao looked at the corpse in front of her and thought that leaving the body here was too conspicuous. So she took out a fireball talisman and threw it out. Instantly, several fireballs flew and burned the old man in brown robes to ashes. Only then did she clap her hands in relief and leave.

Back at the inn, Song Chaofeng had already returned. He had completed the task his master had assigned him and was meditating on the bed when he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening in the next room. He knew immediately that Tao Tao and the others had returned, so he got up excitedly and ran over to ask what was going on.

As soon as Tao Tao sat down, he opened the food he had bought from the market and began to wolf it down.

"Tao Tao, did you manage to buy the Heavenly Origin Pill?" Song Chaofeng asked in confusion.

Tao Tao, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly looked up and said happily, "I bought it, but Ayan said it's not enough."

"Not enough?" Two Heavenly Origin Pills were already extremely rare, yet they were still not enough, which greatly surprised Song Chaofeng.

"Yes, that's not enough, so we went to Uncle Wu's place and collected some materials."

What material?

"These are the materials for refining the Heavenly Origin Pill."

"Why collect this? We don't know how to refine pills. Besides, it's a third-grade pill. Only a third-grade alchemist can refine it."

Song Chaofeng was confused and wondered if alchemy was such an easy thing, especially the Heavenly Origin Pill, unless that senior was an alchemist.

If it's an alchemist, that's terrifying. Any cultivation family or even immortal sect would pay a high price to hire a high-level alchemist, even if it's just as a guest.

Tao Tao shook her head. "I don't know, anyway, Ayan is working on it."

"So he really does know how to refine pills..." Song Chaofeng's admiration for Bai Yan grew even stronger, and he became even more curious about who he was and where he got to know such a senior.

Thinking of this, Song Chaofeng leaned closer and, taking advantage of Bai Yan's absence, secretly inquired about his information, "Tao Tao, what exactly is your relationship with that senior? What level of cultivation does he possess?"

"Ayan? He is..." Tao Tao didn't think much of it and was about to reveal Bai Yan's identity when she suddenly realized that she couldn't say it, not even Song Chaofeng. So she quickly changed her words, "He is my artifact spirit. We met by chance and he is temporarily staying in my artifact."

"A spirit? Are you kidding me? He doesn't seem like a spirit at all."

"Yes, he's not. He's just staying in my magical artifact. As for why, I don't know. Why don't you ask him later?"

"Forget it then. It's already quite presumptuous of me to inquire about the seniors' affairs, so how could I dare to ask? But you should be careful. Who knows what these seniors are thinking, especially the old monsters with high cultivation levels? If they attack you one day, you won't even have anywhere to hide."

"Ayan, don't worry, Senior Brother."

Tao Tao wasn't worried about that at all. She patted her chest and explained earnestly that since she had said so, Song Chaofeng could rest assured.

Just then, a loud bang came from next door, and the ground shook. Tao Tao and Song Chaofeng looked up at the same time, "Isn't that Ayan's (senior's) room?"

"Let's go take a look."
