The moment the sky brightened, Chen Ling'er was already up, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth and continuing her journey.
Although the outside world was indeed colorful and varied, she had begun to miss her master and Senior Brother.
After traveling non-stop for Five Thousand Li, Chen Ling'er finally arrived at her destination.
It was a Swamp. In the middle of the Swamp was something resembling an Island. According to Senior Brother, the very friendly divine beast was there!
Chen Ling'er cautiously made her way to the Island and found a not-so-high Hill on it. On the Hill was a Cave Entrance that was more than three yards high.
"Excuse me... Is anyone there?"
She asked three times, but there was no response. Chen Ling'er decided to go in and take a look. However, just as she was about to step into the Cave Entrance, a monster that was entirely emerald green suddenly rushed in front of her, scaring Chen Ling'er so badly that she fell directly onto the ground!
However, the monster didn't do anything. It just stared at Haha, who was sitting beside Chen Ling'er, but Haha didn't react at all, which made the monster very wary!
In fact, this Water Qilin was Lin Feng's target. It was unowned and an Early-Stage Immortal Emperor, perfectly suited for the current Little Mystic Sect. Lin Feng had been eyeing this divine beast since it appeared on the Exotic Beast Ranking and had been deducing its whereabouts. He had only found its hiding place recently.
Chen Ling'er stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, and pouted.
"You're so rude! You just pop out like that, why did you have to scare me!"
The Water Qilin suddenly spoke.
"Who are you, and what business do you have here?"
Chen Ling'er was very surprised to hear it speak. She replied,
"I am Chen Ling'er. I'm here to ask you to go back and guard the gate!"
The Water Qilin's eyes flashed with anger.
"What?!"
Chen Ling'er suddenly realized she seemed to have said something wrong and quickly explained.
"No, no, no, we want you to go back with us to be our Guardian Divine Beast!"
Even though it sounded nicer, the meaning was the same! Having lived for so many years, the Water Qilin naturally understood their intentions. It turned and glanced at Haha on the ground.
However, Haha had put away its previous lazy demeanor and was staring intently at the Water Qilin!
The Water Qilin quickly pondered. That little girl, only in the Celestial Immortal Realm, is actually with a Peak-Stage Immortal Emperor-level spirit beast, and I've never seen, or even heard of, this spirit beast before. Could it be the one ranked first on the Exotic Beast Ranking?
Seeing that the Water Qilin didn't react, Chen Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She turned to Haha and said, "Haha, it doesn't want to. Let's go back!"
With that, she turned to leave! However, just then,
"Wait!"
The Water Qilin suddenly called out to Chen Ling'er, saying, "I was actually considering it just now. I've thought it through, and I'm willing to go back with you!"
Hearing this, Chen Ling'er was immediately overjoyed and threw her arms around the Water Qilin's neck.
"From now on, we're family!"
One person, one dog, and one Qilin left the Swamp.
On the way back, the Water Qilin tried all sorts of ways to amuse Chen Ling'er, even carrying her to fly through the sky and across the earth, having a great time!
Soon, Chen Ling'er returned to the Little Mystic Sect!
And when Chen Ling'er, riding the Water Qilin, appeared above the Little Mystic Sect, the entire sect felt the pressure of a Celestial Immortal Realm!
"What... what monster is that!"
"The enemy is here!"
"Shut up, can't you see that the person on the monster's back is Junior Sister Ling'er?"
"Huh? It really seems to be!"
At this time, Chen Chengren had already led the elders out of the Main Hall. Looking at the Water Qilin in the sky, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva!
