Gulu gulu, gulu gulu.

 

The red oil was boiling in the small copper pot, and the whole cave was filled with a fragrant aroma.

 

A woman with long hair tied up sat by the pot, holding a big bowl and slurping the noodles. Just then, a silver lightning bolt flew in, and the woman looked up in surprise.

 

Chu Liang entered the cave and saw this scene.

 

This was a not-so-large cave hidden behind a waterfall, but it was quite dry. There were many luminous jade stones on the walls, and with many air vents, it was bright and transparent.

 

There were no other decorations in the cave except for a table with a copper pot, wine cups, and a white stone bed with a soft cushion. The beautiful woman sat with one foot on the ground and the other curled up on the bed, holding a bowl in one hand and using chopsticks to slurp the noodles in the other. When Chu Liang entered, she was surprised and stopped for a moment, the noodles still hanging in the air.

 

Her hair was simply tied behind her back, with a few strands floating on her earlobes. Her profile was perfect, like a watercolor painting. Her features were clear and refreshing, and her skin seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light. Perhaps because she ate too much spicy food, her cheeks were still flushed.

 

Judging from her swinging long legs, she should be quite tall. But her muscles were well-proportioned, and she wore a light white casual dress that did not show any excess fat. Her figure was graceful and undulating, like the mountains and rivers.

 

A woman who was beautiful enough to be out of this world, even when she was sitting carelessly, with noodles in her mouth, and a blank look…still stunning.

 

After seeing everything, Chu Liang's body was still in the air, jumping with the Hakutaku cub.

 

The airborne youth and the noodle-slurping girl completed their first eye contact.

 

Then…

 

Bang.

 

The Hakutaku cub landed, seeming very excited, and brought Chu Liang to the woman's side, jumping around her happily.

 

The woman finally came back to her senses and quickly slurped a big mouthful of noodles, "Gululu…"

 

After finishing the noodles and wiping her mouth, she turned her head back.

 

During this time, Chu Liang had already patted the Hakutaku cub's neck to make it stop, then turned and landed, standing up straight.

 

The two looked at each other, both feeling a bit awkward.

 

Only the Hakutaku cub seemed to have no emotional intelligence at all, unable to feel the awkwardness of the two humans, still happily spinning around.

 

"Sorry…" Chu Liang spoke first, "Hakutaku suddenly took me up, and I don't know why he brought me here to disturb the lady.""It was indeed disturbing. I'm sure no young girl would want to be seen with powder all over her face…"

 

"It's alright…" The woman was caught off guard, but seeing that Chu Liang was polite, she couldn't help but return the gesture.

 

However, when she turned to look at the white cub, her eyes were filled with visible embarrassment and anger.

 

The jumping white cub, upon being glared at by her, immediately stiffened and had a frozen expression. His eyes darted around, as if he was trying to figure out what he had done wrong.

 

Chu Liang suddenly asked the woman, "Sister, are you Jiang…?"

 

In Shu Mountain, when it comes to beautiful appearances, the first name that comes to mind is naturally the one known as the Fairy Jiang, Jiang Yuebai.

 

Chu Liang had seen Jiang Yuebai from afar once before on Tongtian Peak, and her figure and appearance were no different from the woman in front of him.

 

However, at that time, Jiang Yuebai had a cold and ethereal temperament, which made it difficult to associate her with the girl who was applying powder in front of him. It took him a few more glances to remember.

 

"No!" The woman immediately raised her eyebrows and denied it loudly.

 

Chu Liang blinked, but I didn't even say who it was yet…

 

…

 

"This shouldn't be happening?" "Why is this?" "This is unreasonable!"

 

In the thicket, Shang Ziliang and his two companions were huddled together, their faces filled with question marks.

 

Although many days had passed, they still remembered the painful torture that the white cub had inflicted upon them.

 

They had only taken a few steps on the Pagoda Peak when a silver lightning bolt suddenly struck them, knocking them to the ground. The cub then proceeded to stomp on them mercilessly, not stopping until all three of them were crying out in pain. It was only then that the cub used its horn to lift them up and toss them out of the Pagoda Peak.

 

But they had no complaints.

 

After all, it was the descendant of the mountain guardian deity, the legendary beast that would grow up to protect Shu Mountain Sect.

 

However…

 

You can hit us, but it's too much to only hit us, right?

 

They had finally managed to lead Chu Liang here, and this was the result… Look at your worthless appearance!

 

Are you still a short-tempered mountain guardian deity?

 

When they saw the white cub pounce on Chu Liang, their hearts were filled with anticipation.

 

But then, they saw it rubbing and licking Chu Liang. Every time it licked him, Shang Ziliang felt like his face was being stepped on.

 

And that wasn't all.

 

The cub even voluntarily let Chu Liang ride on its back.

 

This was a divine beast!The meaning of riding a divine beast is completely different from that of an ordinary mount. In a larger sense, it can even be understood as the carrier of the Shu Mountain's spiritual energy.

 

Of course, it's not to that extent with just a Hakutaku cub.

 

But it's still hard to accept.

 

"Sigh…" Shang Ziliang sighed heavily. "What could it be?"

 

His follower, Jia, pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Boss, do you think it's possible… because he's handsome?"

 

After much thought, it was the only possibility he could think of.

 

Smack.

 

Shang Ziliang gave him a big slap. "Are you saying that I'm not handsome enough compared to him?"

 

"Of course not, it's just…" Follower Jia explained while covering his face. "It's just that it's possible that Hakutaku doesn't like your type…"

 

Shang Ziliang turned his head angrily and looked at follower B. "What do you think?"

 

Follower B scratched his head and said, "I'm hungry."

 

"Get lost." Shang Ziliang kicked follower B.

 

Just as the three of them were puzzled, they suddenly felt a shadow over their heads. A huge black cloud covered them.

 

"Hmm?" Shang Ziliang looked up and saw a scaly and ferocious black cloud falling towards them.

 

It seemed like a giant monster was about to land.

 

"There's still the aura of the demon-sealing tower in the Pagoda Peak. No demon has ever set foot here. What's going on?" Shang Ziliang wondered.

 

"Boss, why don't we stop thinking about this for now?" Follower Jia looked up at the approaching black cloud and suggested.

 

"What should we do then?" Shang Ziliang asked.

 

"Let's hide first, just in case we get hit." Follower Jia said.

 

"Hmph, ask if it dares." Shang Ziliang sneered. "In the entire Shu Mountain, whose mount dares to land on my head…"

 

Boom.

 

The trees collapsed, and the earth shook.

 

It seemed to be a giant lizard with a body length of seven or eight zhang and a height of more than two zhang. However, it had a pair of rugged flesh horns on its forehead, narrow wings on its back, thick and dark scales with strange patterns.

 

It landed on the ground, and then with its bulky body, it moved forward at an agile speed that was completely incompatible with its size, as if it was flying close to the ground. It disappeared in a flash.

 

Only a mess of a pit that it flattened was left behind, with human shapes buried in it.

 

One, two, three…
