Chapter 449: We Have Done Everything We Can

In the lazy afternoon sunshine, the sky garden on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel seemed to be coated with a soft amber halo. The water droplets in the fountain pool splashed tiny rainbows, and under the pavilion wrapped with vines, the white gauze curtain was lifted by the wind and slowly fell down.

Mu Xing leaned sideways on the back of a huge golden soul beast, her black coat casually slipped down to her waist, revealing the black gauze petticoat underneath. Her hair, as white as fresh snow, gradually turned black from the roots, like a drop of thick ink falling into a clear spring. Two black dragon horns snaked up from her forehead, emitting a cold iron-like glow, forming a sharp contrast with the pale skin that was faintly visible under the translucent black gauze petticoat.

As the warm afternoon breeze blew by, she yawned lazily, her fingertips unconsciously fiddling with the golden mane flowing around the big cat's neck - those hairs were like melted liquid gold in the sunlight, and fine ripples appeared as it rose and fell with its breathing.

The huge body occupies most of the viewing platform, and the crystal-like translucent body is almost dazzling under the strong light. It looks like a carefully carved golden lion, but it is unusually vivid because of the golden flames under the dragon claws. The flames are like flowing molten gold, casting jumping spots of light on the marble floor tiles. When it occasionally swings its tail, the friction between its scales makes a crisp sound, startling a few butterflies perched in the flowers.

The most breathtaking thing is the third vertical pupil. In the daytime, the scarlet eye no longer emits a strange red light, but looks more like a pigeon blood ruby ​​embedded in gold. As it turns its head and stares at the person coming, the pupil shrinks into a long and narrow slit.

“This is… the three-eyed golden lion?!” Zhang Lexuan, the former senior sister of the inner courtyard and current dean of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy, also saw the legendary auspicious beast for the first time.

She was worried about Xiao Xiao leaving with Wang Dong, and Fan Yu also wanted to see his disciples. After settling the other team members, they hurried to the sky garden on the top floor of the hotel, and were shocked by the scene in front of them.

"Senior Sister!" Xiao Xiao pounced on Zhang Lexuan as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She had no idea where this soul beast that looked like a big golden cat came from, but the one who was concentrating on petting the cat was actually a real dragon!

The teachers and students who experienced the destruction of Shrek City all have more or less traumatic stress disorder towards dragons, even though it was not the same dragon that breathed fire into the city.

"Teacher, why are you here?" He Caitou's honest voice made Fan Yu feel much more at ease.

"I came to see you. I hope we won't disturb this... Excellency." Fan Yu really didn't know how to address this inhuman creature who buried his face in the fur on the back of the golden cat's neck. In the end, he chose a title that would not offend the other party.

"Now that I'm here." Mu Xing raised her eyes lazily and casually pulled her black coat to her shoulders. Her voice was a little lazy and hoarse.

Wang Dong, who was sitting opposite her, felt as if his heart was gently scratched by a cat's claws. This was still too much for Xiao Xiao and the others. Although there had been rumors that Long Ge had cooperated with ferocious beasts, the shock brought by seeing it with one's own eyes was by no means comparable to the rumors.

Zhang Lexuan felt cold sweat on her palms. She tried to stay calm, but found that she couldn't look away.

"Senior Sister?" Without Long Xiaoyao's permission, Beibei could not easily come out to see her.

A familiar voice brought Zhang Lexuan back to her senses. She turned her head suddenly, her nails almost digging into Beibei's shoulder blades, but she suddenly relaxed her grip when Beibei apologized in a low voice.

"Sit down, don't worry about them." Long Xiaoyao pointed at the sofas around him and sat down first. "Don't be nervous. No one here has a hobby of eating people."

"I left in such a hurry that I didn't thank Long Ge for saving my life, and Senior Long Huang for taking care of Bei Bei. I would like to thank you today. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" With Long Xiaoyao's assurance, Zhang Lexuan reacted quickly and knelt down to salute. At the same time, she was also scared, after all, Yan Shaozhe's death was related to her.

Fan Yu also hurriedly bowed to Long Xiaoyao to express his gratitude. After all, his eldest son was a freeloader at Long Ge.

Xiao Xiao timidly looked at the tall old man. Although he was old, he was still energetic. His silver-white hair was neatly combed back his head. His face was solemn and kind, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked neither too serious nor lacking the dignity of an elder.

Think again about that sloppy old beast Xuan Zi. The difference between an old bitch and an old man is obvious at a glance.

"I, an old man, have also heard about Xiao Xiao's affairs. It's so pitiful! Just like you back then, although Moon and I didn't get along very well and have fought for most of our lives, based on my understanding of him, he would never do such a thing. Please don't resent him." Long Xiaoyao's tone was a little heavy, "Beibei will follow me from now on, you don't have to worry about his cultivation. Since Moon En is dead, there is no grudge between him and me, and I will take good care of his descendants. Speaking of which, it's not that I don't want him to go back with you, but because..."

He recounted the story of how Tang Ya and Ye Xishui forced Bei Bei to absorb a spirit ring that conflicted with his martial spirit and set up a fatal test, but he omitted the part about the Qiankun Questioning Valley. After all, for mortals, it is better to say less about matters involving gods.

"This is too much! I told you that Tang Ya is not a good person. Beibei treats her wholeheartedly, but she actually wants to drag Beibei into this?!" Zhang Lexuan said angrily.

"Could it be that the Tang Sect team participating in the competition is just the evil soul masters in disguise?" Fan Yu boldly guessed.

"Young man, you guessed correctly. The Tang Sect has been outsourced to the evil soul master Tang Ya. But considering that the founder of the Tang Sect is a person who is both good and evil..." Long Xiaoyao chose his words carefully to avoid ending up like Moon En.

"Bastard." Mu Xing chuckled, and the ends of his inky black hair seemed to come alive. A few strands of black hair climbed up the big cat's golden paws, and then slyly retracted before touching the golden flames.

Wang Dong did not comment on this. It was not wise to speak out at this time. In case Mu Xing also considered her a bastard, she could not guarantee that she would not cry on the spot.

Long Xiaoyao smiled and nodded to Mu Xing, then turned to Zhang Lexuan, Xiao Xiao and Fan Yu, "That's pretty much what I meant. Those who understand will understand."

"Mr. Long, since Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong are good friends, this is the only way for her to go. Please take good care of this child in the future. Shrek Academy owes her too much..." Zhang Lexuan tried her best to control herself from looking at those non-humans. "As for the other participating team members, my elder said that as long as I stay in the Sun Moon Empire, he will ensure their safety. This is the last thing I can do for them."
