Chapter 11
Divine Beast Breaks Out Of Its Shell
“She’s here!” Kong Rui fell from the sky above the Demon Abyss. A strange-looking demon beast immediately turned into a fat balloon and caught Kong Rui steadily.
Kong Rui hugged her and got off her.
“Thank you, Fat Auntie. I still haven’t grasped the right amount of strength to return to the Demon Abyss.” Hearing this, Fat Auntie shook her head and smiled brightly.
Seeing that Kong Rui was unharmed, the demon beasts hurriedly came forward and started asking questions.
“Rui Rui, is it fun outside? You seem so happy.”
Kong Rui chuckled. “It’s indeed quite interesting outside.”
“Follow me.” Kong Niang interrupted their conversation.
Kong Rui followed her obediently.
“Rui Rui has just returned. Let her play with us before leaving.”
“Boss Kong, she has just returned but you’re going to torture her already? Ruirui is too pitiful.” The demon beasts spoke at once.
“Shut up!” Kong Niang turned around and cursed.
The demon beasts immediately shrank their heads and didn’t dare to speak anymore.
Kong Rui walked behind Kong Niang, but didn’t forget to turn around and gesture to the demon beasts to wait for her to return.
The demon beasts were excited again.
In fact, most demon beasts weren’t bad by nature. They were unable to choose their birth. However, because they were demon beasts, they were locked in this dark Demon Abyss and couldn’t leave for the rest of their lives. Because they were demon beasts, they were feared by humans. Because they were demon beasts, it was extremely difficult to even be seen as a good creature.
One day, the heavens sent Rui Rui to them. She was kind-hearted and didn’t discriminate against any demon beast. She treated them as family. How could they not love her?
After they returned to Kong Niang’s residence, she asked seriously, “Did anything strange happen along the way?”
Kong Rui thought about it. “I met a rather talented person with a ninth level spiritual body like me. I heard Li Ling call him Brother Nie.”
“The Nie family?” Kong Niang suddenly raised her voice, her eyes filled with killing intent. The Nie family was her enemy!
“What’s wrong?” Kong Rui asked in confusion.
“It’s nothing.” Kong Niang avoided the topic. “Tell me, what else did you encounter?”
“There’s a man with terrifyingly powerful spiritual power in the cave in the middle of Spirit Mountain.” Kong Rui said with lingering fear, “Even you aren’t his match.”
Kong Niang nodded. “The commotion on Spirit Mountain has stopped. I guess the person inside hasn’t woken up yet. Did you bring the Soul Return Flower back?”
Kong Rui took out the Soul Return Flower from her storage ring.
The storage ring was one of the apprenticeship gifts Kong Niang had given her. In it, there was a space about as large as a room that could be carried with her. It was very convenient.
Kong Niang carried the beast egg out. “Come, it’s time for it to break out of its shell.”
Kong Rui used her spiritual power to crush the Soul Return Flower into fine powder and scattered it on it. The beast egg immediately shook a few times.
Then, as if a small hand was knocking on the eggshell, Kong Rui and Kong Niang looked up at each other. “Don’t help it. Let it come out with its own strength.” Kong Rui nodded and continued to look at it gently.
When she lost her first beast egg, Kong Rui felt extremely heartbroken, like a mother who had her child kidnapped. Just as she was feeling disheartened, another beast egg was quietly born. However, because she had twin beast eggs, the beast egg was relatively weak when it was born. The baby needed to grow in the beast egg for a while longer since it couldn’t break out of its shell with its own strength.
And now, with the Soul Return Flower, the little divine beast in the beast egg had its physique strengthened and could finally break out of its shell. Kong Rui couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart.
With a cracking sound, a furry claw reached out, followed by the head, then the entire body stuck out and looked at Kong Rui curiously.
“It’s a lion!” Kong Rui carried the palm-sized lion dotingly.
It stared fixedly at Kong Rui, its eyes like ice crystal blue gems that flashed with a dazzling light.
It had bright feathers and fur. The lion-like back half of its body was covered in yellow-brown beast fur, and its head and front limbs were all covered in golden feathers. The feathers on its chest were red.
“How cute!” Kong Rui rubbed it against her ear. It was soft to the touch. She liked it so much!
“Are you sure it’s a lion?” Kong Niang frowned and took it.
The little divine beast was still staring at Kong Rui.
As expected, Kong Niang saw two small wings covered by fur at its waist.
