Yang Mu stared expressionlessly at the little dog. He must have gone crazy thinking that this little dog could talk.
After wiping off the saliva from his face thoroughly, Yang Mu decided to temporarily take care of this little dog. Yes, and he named it Wang Cai. He touched Wang Cai’s fur with his hand and felt a warm, slippery sensation when he reached Wang Cai’s hind legs.
Wang Cai struggled in his hand, baring a row of sharp teeth, growling softly at Yang Mu.
Since Wang Cai kept moving around in his hand, it was challenging for Yang Mu to examine his body.
Frowning, Yang Mu lightly slapped Wang Cai’s head, saying, “Quiet down.” He didn’t use much force, just gently patted Wang Cai’s head with his palm.
After all, Wang Cai’s body was quite small, and Yang Mu was afraid that he might hurt the dog if he used too much force.
Wang Cai’s little head drooped slightly after being lightly tapped, and then it raised its head on its own, looking at Yang Mu with watery eyes, as if it had been momentarily stunned.
Taking advantage of Wang Cai’s temporary stillness, Yang Mu quickly gave him a full-body examination.
Wang Cai had a deep wound on his left leg that was bleeding profusely. Although the meridians in the bodies of beastmen were different from humans, Yang Mu could still sense that Wang Cai’s cultivation was in turmoil, severely disordered.
During this examination, Wang Cai began to struggle desperately again. Growling, it tried to break free from Yang Mu’s grasp and lunged to bite him.
However, it had no cultivation at all now, and even though Yang Mu was only holding it lightly, it couldn’t break free.
Ignoring Wang Cai’s struggles, Yang Mu found a healing pill for internal injuries in his storage ring and then took out a healing pill for external injuries.
While these two pills were meant for human consumption, Yang Mu figured that their effects on beastmen should be similar.
Thinking this way, he handed the pills to Wang Cai’s mouth.
Wang Cai turned its head away disdainfully.
It refused to eat!
“Don’t you want to eat it?” Yang Mu asked directly. Awakening to sentience, beast races could understand human language. Yang Mu gently moved his fingers towards Wang Cai’s ears. When the little head still remained turned to the side, he switched his grip on Wang Cai’s petite body, held its chin with his other hand, and placed the pills into Wang Cai’s mouth.
Yang Mu could confidently feed the pill into Wang Cai’s mouth without fearing it would get stuck in the throat because the pill dissolved upon contact. As soon as the pill entered Wangcai’s mouth, it flowed down its throat and was swallowed.

Relieved, Yang Mu cradled Wang Cai in his arms and patted its back. With the pill ingested, the wounds would heal soon.

Maybe this was Wang Cai’s version of a birthmark that brings wealth.
Wang Cai let out a low growl and pulled its little head back, as if it didn’t want Yang Mu to touch the black fur on its forehead.
Seeing Wang Cai’s comical expression, Yang Mu couldn’t help but smile. He placed his hand on Wang Cai’s back and gently stroked it. “Alright, alright, be good. I won’t touch your forehead anymore. Stop growling.”
He petted Wang Cai, and without realizing it, he used the same tone he had used with Wang Cai in his previous life.
Wang Cai eventually settled down in Yang Mu’s arms, no longer moving, seemingly recovering from its injuries. Yang Mu had no intention of putting it back into the Beast Storage Bag. Its size was small enough to carry in his arms without much trouble.
*
Initially planning to leave, Yang Mu changed his mind after finding Wang Cai. The discovery of a beastman in this Secret Realm suggested the possibility of encountering another one.
Yang Mu intended to search for it.
If he could find another beastman, he would bring it back as well. He would adopt Wang Cai, and would leave the rest to Shi Dixuan to take care of.
Returning to the spot where Wang Cai had been pinned down by the rocks, Yang Mu began searching the area.
In his arms, Wang Cai, who had previously had its eyes closed, now opened its eyes. Its jet-black eyes sparkled with vitality, almost as if they could speak.
Wang Cai fixed its gaze on Yang Mu’s hands cradling it, observing quietly for a while before closing its eyes again.
As Yang Mu searched around the area near the boulder, he suddenly realized that he might not have been here before. This place felt unfamiliar.
After walking for a while, Yang Mu felt like he was going in circles. Every so often, he would find himself back near the same stone he started from.
Yang Mu: “…”
Is he experiencing a “maze” here? But on this continent, everything can be solved with absolute strength. The situation he’s facing now does seem somewhat like being trapped in a maze, but fundamentally, it’s a completely different scenario.
This is an illusion. This place must have been subjected to a special array, causing this situation.
Taking out his flying sword from his storage ring, Yang Mu intended to use his sword flying technique to break free from this place. The flying sword, with Yang Mu on it, smoothly soared into the air. Just when Yang Mu was full of hope and about to leave this place, the ground suddenly seemed to exert an infinite force of gravity.
In an instant, his vision blurred, and Yang Mu couldn’t react in time. He, along with his flying sword and his pet dog, Wang Cai, fell heavily to the ground.
There was still some distance between the flying sword and the ground. As he plummeted, Yang Mu instinctively protected Wang Cai in his arms. He adjusted his position while free-falling and landed firmly on the ground.
Steadily standing on the ground, Yang Mu silently breathed a sigh of relief. Then he raised his head, and his eyes widened.
‘Where is this?’
It seems like he’s returned to the Yuan Sect. At this moment, he was standing on the sect’s square, cradling Wang Cai in his arms.
The entire sect appeared to be deserted, eerily quiet.
Yang Mu held Wang Cai, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully in his arms, unmoving. He gently shook Wang Cai, but the dog showed no signs of stirring.
Wang Cai’s belly was faintly rising and falling, and the faint, rhythmic breathing was especially pronounced in this quiet environment.
Could it be that those two pills he took earlier had a hypnotic effect as well? Yang Mu pursed his lips, adjusted his posture to make Wang Cai more comfortable, and decided to let the dog sleep.
However, Yang Mu found it strange. Just a moment ago, he was in a different environment, and suddenly, a powerful force from the ground pulled his flying sword down from the sky. Now, he seemed to be back in the sect… Had he really exited the Secret Realm?
Yang Mu furrowed his brows slightly, picked up his flying sword, and planned to use sword-flying to return to his own quarters.
Clank.
Clank.
Clank.
Several heavy footsteps resounded abruptly in the vast square, drawing Yang Mu’s attention. He raised his head and looked towards the steps on the square.
As the footsteps drew closer, a figure gradually emerged.
He had a tall and slender figure, with long limbs. Even in ordinary sect attire, it couldn’t conceal his excellent physique. This simple outfit somehow gave him an imposing presence.
This person lifted his head and gazed toward a pavilion not far from the Yuan Sect, his starry eyes filled with hatred. His straight nose and slightly reddened lips curled up with a hint of disdain.
This person was… Yang Mu widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief. Wasn’t this person an older version of Shi Dixuan? Why did he appear in the sect in this older form?
Shi Dixuan’s eyes burned with furious flames, but his movements remained calm and composed.
Slowly, he reached into his storage ring and retrieved a pitch-black sword. He lifted the sword lightly and aimed it at the pavilion not far away. With a powerful swing, the shockwave generated by Shi Dixuan’s sword destroyed half of the nearby pavilion.
It’s worth noting that the structures within this sect were far from ordinary. Yet, with a single stroke, Shi Dixuan had reduced half of it to rubble, demonstrating his immense power.
Stirred by the intrusion, the elders and disciples of the Yuan Sect rushed to the scene. Even the Sect Master arrived at the square.
The Sect Master, Yushi An, who had always been mild-mannered, now appeared fiercely enraged. He glared at Shi Dixuan and shouted, “You dare to return to the Yuan Sect and destroy our buildings. Today, I will definitely capture you, throw you into a cage, and drain every ounce of life from your body until you wither away!”
Shi Dixuan chuckled disdainfully, planting the sword firmly in the ground. He stood there, emanating an overwhelming aura. He calmly said, “Today, I don’t need any weapons to take the lives of everyone here.”
“You’re boasting loudly!” one of the elders roared at Shi Dixuan.
“Save your breath.” Shi Dixuan replied impatiently. Before anyone could react, he swiftly moved and appeared next to the elder who had just spoken.
With his hand around the elder’s neck, he brought him back to his original position.
In a low voice, Shi Dixuan asked, “Did you perhaps hunt down and kill a beastmen couple?” Though phrased as a question, his tone carried the weight of a statement.
The elder, now in Shi Dixuan’s grip, faced the overwhelming aura emanating from him and felt a sense of fear. But with so many people watching, he had to maintain a facade of composure. He sneered, “I’ve hunted down many members of the Beast Clan. Which pair are you referring to?” While speaking to Shi Dixuan, he secretly gathered his strength.
He had originally thought that Shi Dixuan would hesitate before attacking in front of so many people. In that moment of hesitation, he could escape from Shi Dixuan’s grasp and deliver a blow.
This fiend’s cultivation had grown too fast, and the elder was feeling anxious.
Upon hearing the elder’s words, a cold glint flashed in Shi Dixuan’s eyes. He gave a faint, cold laugh, leaving no room for the elder to react. He applied pressure to his hand.
*Crack.*
With a crisp sound, Yang Mu instinctively covered his own neck. The elder had already lost his breath and was discarded by Shi Dixuan.
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Thank you for the update 💛
Thanks for the update!
I have no idea how my mind thought that Wang Cai was Shi Dixuan. Isn’t he like, a tiger or something??
Where are all these brain holes coming from??
