Chapter 1033: She Became the King of Spirit Beasts I
Some time passed.
The big rabbit under the setting sun had finally calmed down. It looked weak, but it stared at Feng Ruqing with a grateful gaze.
“Well, if you’re doing fine, then I should leave now.”
Feng Ruqing glanced at the big rabbit and saw that it was already doing fine. She held Little Qing Han’s hand and turned around, prepared to leave.
The group of spirit beasts came and surrounded her.
Feng Ruqing frowned. “What? Do you still want to fight me?”
A pack of black wolves kneeled first.
They moved synchronously like well-trained wolves.
When the black wolves kneeled, the other spirits beasts immediately followed them and kneeled in front of Feng Ruqing.
Their eyes were filled with respect.
“Mother,” Little Qing Han tugged at Feng Ruqing’s sleeve. “These spirit beasts are treating you as their king.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
She was just a passerby. How did she become the king of the spirit beasts?
Feng Ruqing hesitated for a while. “I won’t stay here longer. You don’t need to serve me. There is no way I can bring you along with me.”
The little rabbits of the tribe were all anxious. They made an imploring whimper and pathetically stared at Feng Ruqing.
“Mother, these little rabbits said that only you could save the beasts forest. They like you and only you can be their king.”
Feng Ruqing held her forehead. “There is nothing you can do to subjugate me. I really can’t stay here.”
If only she could take away the spirit beasts from the secret realm. What was the point of being their king if she could not take them with her?
There was a disappointment in the rabbits’ eyes. They knew that Feng Ruqing was unwilling to stay. Even if they forced her, there was no way they could stop her from leaving. They could only retract the outstretched claws.
“Chee-chee.”
The big rabbit crawled up weakly. It rubbed its head against Feng Ruqing. Deep in its azure eyes showed the heaviness in its heart in parting with her. It did not know what she was talking about.
Feng Ruqing turned to Little Qing Han.
This time, Little Qing Han instantly understood. She continued saying, “The big rabbit told me that she wants to send you off. There is a shortcut to leave the beasts forest.”
“Good.”
Feng Ruqing lowered her gaze. She raised one of her hands and rubbed the big rabbit’s head. “After this, you can’t run around anymore. You must find a place to hide so that the people will not hurt you again. Maybe one day I will come back to you.”
She had more important things to do.
It was impossible to stay in the beast forest.
And because of that, she was unable to guard these spirit beasts.
The big rabbit smiled, satisfied, and rubbed its fuzzy head against Feng Ruqing. It squeaked and headed off in a certain direction.
Feng Ruqing held Little Qing Han’s hand and walked behind the big rabbit.
Behind her was a large group of spirit beasts seeming as if they were guarding her, slowly following her steps.
The number of spirit beasts in the beast forest was no longer large, but the beast forest’s territory was quite big.
They walked from dusk to midnight and from night till dawn to leave the beast forest.
All the spirit beasts stood in a row. They watched Feng Ruqing’s departing figure until her figure disappeared and they did not turn back…
***
On the mountain road, Little Qing Han turned her head and looked at the spirit beasts that were left behind them. She bit her finger and her eyes were filled with regret.
“These spirit beasts were all good. It’s too bad. If they were evil spirit beasts, they could have become my snacks.”
