Feeling the murderous intent of the Golden-Furred Arhat, Ye Ling felt a chill throughout his body, his heart pounding in alarm. Damn, this creature is serious.
It's no wonder the Golden-Furred Arhat was so angry. After all, the Golden-Maned Hound Clan is astonishingly rare, almost as scarce as the Chaos Divine Beasts.
To have such a precious member of their clan willing to follow Ye Ling was enough to make the Golden-Furred Arhat nearly suffer from high blood pressure.
"Hey, what does this have to do with me? Why are you getting mad at me for no reason?"
Ye Ling quickly waved his hands, thinking if this creature really went crazy and accidentally slaughtered him, where would he go to cry about it?
Xiao Jin looked up at the elder in the sky, growling softly, "This is the fate destined for me, I should comply with the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, I fear I will face calamity!"
Crack, the Golden-Furred Arhat was stunned, then grinding his teeth in frustration, unable to speak, yet unwilling to submit, he shook his head: "I have a compromise for you."
"I'll take it back to Spirit Mountain first, to teach it Divine Skills and the legacy. After you return to the Immortal Realm, you can call for it."
"You must understand, all this is for its own good. It will certainly be stronger by my side than by yours!"
The Golden-Furred Arhat said to Ye Ling, who looked at the Golden-Furred Arhat beside him, his heart surging with excitement. If such a mystical beast truly followed him, he would be incredibly fortunate.
"Alright, I agree. But once I'm in the Immortal Realm, if it seeks me out on its own, that has nothing to do with me, okay?"
Ye Ling said, as the Golden-Furred Arhat in the sky nodded. Then, Ye Ling patted the Golden-Furred Arhat beside him: "You go with your elder to Spirit Mountain first. After all, your clan has its own legacy. When I get back to the Immortal Realm, I'll call for you right away."
The Golden-Furred Arhat beside Ye Ling nodded. Seeing this, the elder Golden-Furred Arhat in the sky, fearing Ye Ling might retract his promise, waved a paw, and a beam of golden light wrapped around Xiao Jin below. The two formidable beings instantly vanished from that part of the world.
After the two had left, Ye Ling sighed heavily. Geez, is he somehow the darling of the Demon Realm? Why do they keep tossing these terrifying demonic beasts his way?
"Fellow Daoist, you truly have enormous wealth. I believe that in the future, you'll certainly have a share in the territory of the Demon Realm."
Ksitigarbha King couldn't hide his envy. He knew that among those who had ascended in his presence, there had been a Chaos Divine Beast – a fearsome species not the least bit inferior to the Golden-Maned Hound Clan.
Now, there was a Golden-Furred Arhat who persistently wanted to follow Ye Ling, and it was said that there was also a formidable Hei Long by Ye Ling's side that was immune to Divine Skills.
One could imagine, in the future, anyone who clashed with Ye Ling – well, setting anything else aside, just the presence of these three powerful demonic clans would be enough to intimidate any power.
People of the Demon Race are fiercely protective; if they really started fighting, the Chaos Divine Beast Clan, the Golden-Maned Hound Clan, and the Dragon Clan together – my god, how could others even survive?
"Hehe, it's just luck, pure luck."
Ye Ling chuckled as well, and Ksitigarbha King nodded, "You should know that luck is also a form of cultivation."
"I think this life of yours will be even more splendid and brilliant than the last. Perhaps stepping into that mysterious realm is also within easy reach for you."
"With such a firm foundation in this life, and possessing a unique physique, coupled with such great fortune, it would be unjust if success didn't come your way!"
Listening to Ksitigarbha King flattering him made Ye Ling feel quite pleased with himself, he chuckled, "Bodhisattva is jesting. Aren't you also on the verge of stepping into that realm? Congratulations to both of us."
After chatting for a short while, Ye Ling left; he had intended to visit Qing Yi in Senluo City, but since Qing Yi was in closed-door cultivation, Ye Ling went straight back to the Imperial Capital.
Upon arrival in the Imperial Capital, Ye Ling returned to the Mo Family mansion, which was now a bustling hive of activity.
Mo Zidao from Donghai had even made time to come over because, after all, his daughter-in-law was about to give birth. That was his own grandchild being born—how could he, as a grandfather, not be excited?
The arrival of Ye Tian and the family of Li Ke had brought a full burst of vitality to the household.
However, after Ye Ling arrived, Ye Tian pulled him aside, "Tsk tsk, the old man really has an imposing presence, and I feel the tension of being as cautious as if I were serving a tiger every day."
Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He understood what his father meant very well; they were ordinary folks, and even though they had become relatives, they still acted with restraint and caution.
Actually, Ye Tian was getting by somewhat better; Li Ke's family was really on tenterhooks, living in this mansion without a day of peaceful sleep.
Having Elder Mo, who often appeared as a leader on television, living in the room next door, the couple could hardly fathom their feelings—a sentiment beyond the average person's imagination. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Let me tell you, Dad, the old man is actually very approachable. You'll see for yourself at the drink-up tonight. Don't be so awkward, relax a bit. Even if the sky falls, you've got your son here to hold it up."
Ye Ling chuckled, and Ye Tian promptly gave him a slap on the head, "What 'old man'? You should call him 'grandpa,' respect him a little more!"
Well, Ye Ling saw that his father was thoroughly scared, so he just smacked his lips and pulled back.
But really, at the evening gathering at the Mo Family mansion, with a group of people drinking at the same table, the elder had no airs about him and was very approachable.
Li Ke's parents and Ye Tian could finally take a sigh of relief—only then did they dare to breathe freely.
After filling up on food and drink, Ye Ling and Mo Xing, having nothing to do at home, went out for a stroll. Just so happened, Ye Wudao and Li Qing also returned to the Ye Family home.
Li Qing was now pregnant as well; among their group, only Li Tianhao was without a girlfriend, and only Shenfeng and the big star Bingbing remained unmarried.
The celebrity Bingbing was now hardly taking on any roles and was preparing to retire from the entertainment industry, with her relationship with Shenfeng being particularly sweet.
Ye Ling and Mo Xing, calling Ye Wudao along, went to a bar located in Houhai; this place was a hotspot frequented by the young elite of the Imperial Capital.
In front of the spacious bar, cars worth several hundred thousand were virtually beggars, and driving a BMW 320 to show off here would probably result in getting your face smacked without even knowing why.
"Tsk tsk, is Shenfeng that busy with work?"
"And you, Ye Ling, for heaven's sake, you're a general in the Bureau of Superpowers and you still don't have anything serious going on."
Getting out of the car, Ye Wudao glanced at the dazzling neon lights and said disdainfully, while Ye Ling just shrugged, "What's it to me? It's not the position I wanted."
The three of them laughed and entered the bar. At this point in life, all three of them were married and soon to have their own children, so they had matured quite a bit.
Sitting under the pounding music, the three reflected deeply and, observing the excited expressions of the people in the bar, couldn't help but smile.
