Yan Qing remembered how he had once seen Shi Dixuan’s little buddy and mocked its size. And before that, he even smacked Shi Dixuan’s buttocks. Yang Mu felt a faint pain in his neck.
He had done these things, and given Shi Dixuan’s personality, he was sure to hold a grudge, especially now that he was in front of Shi Dixuan, witnessing him transform into a beastman.
When Shi Dixuan wakes up, sparing Yang Mu’s life would be a surprise.
However, Yang Mu estimated that Shi Dixuan had definitely used some sort of secret method of the Beast Clan to forcefully elevate his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. Now, suddenly falling into a coma and reverting to his beast form, it was likely related to that secret method.
When Shi Dixuan wakes up, his cultivation might have already returned to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Yang Mu squatted down, gently cradling Shi Dixuan’s beast form in his arms. The little dog in his arms had snow-white fur, soft and fluffy, incredibly comfortable to touch.
No matter what, Yang Mu couldn’t connect this small body with the tall and imposing Shi Dixuan. The fact that Shi Dixuan’s true beast form was a little dog was surprising.
Holding Shi Dixuan in his arms, Yang Mu vaguely felt that, although this appearance resembled a little dog he had seen in a past life, it was certainly not like that.
Yang Mu couldn’t figure out what kind of beast Shi Dixuan really was.
Yang Mu settled Shi Dixuan on a tree somewhere, placing him to the side. He stood on the sturdy branches, changing into a clean and neat set of clothes and adopting his previous outwardly indifferent appearance as Elder Yang.
Shi Dixuan’s small body lay quietly beside him, and his round belly was rhythmically rising and falling. In his slumber, his tiny nose would occasionally wrinkle, making him look rather cute.
The current Shi Dixuan was utterly defenseless in case of danger. A gentle squeeze of his neck by Yang Mu would easily end his life.
From now on, Yang Mu didn’t have to worry about his life being threatened by Shi Dixuan. Even though Shi Dixuan had almost killed and raped him earlier…
As if there was a voice in his heart luring him, Yang Mu’s fists clenched hard and then loosened up.

It’s just that, even though the opportunity to kill Shi Dixuan was within his grasp, Yang Mu still couldn’t be ruthless.

Shi Dixuan swallowed the pill, and Yang Mu himself swallowed a pill that could restore his power. Leaning against a tree trunk, he waited for Shi Dixuan to wake up while quietly recovering his own power.
At the moment Yang Mu closed his eyes to meditate, Shi Dixuan in his arms suddenly opened his pair of dark eyes. His eyes glittering.
Shi Dixuan had awakened when Yang Mu was searching for a large tree to rest in. Upon waking up, his memory stayed in the moment he killed Shang Jie and strangled Yang Mu’s neck.
As for what happened afterward, he couldn’t remember. The cost of the secret method of the Beast Clan was mentioned vaguely, but it didn’t specify the actual details. However, at this moment, Shi Dixuan knew what the cost was. Not only did he forget certain things, but there was no trace of his cultivation left in his body.
Apart from his awakened consciousness, he was now no different from ordinary wild beastman.
But one thing Shi Dixuan could be sure of was that Yang Mu had already realized he was no longer a human. This was the reason he had initially wanted to kill Yang Mu because he didn’t know how long the forcibly elevated cultivation from the secret technique would last. So, in desperation, he killed Shang Jie first.
As for Yang Mu, Shi Dixuan was hesitant.
Even though Yang Mu had mocked his size and smacked his buttocks, after spending these days together, Yang Mu’s attitude towards beastmen was not like that of other humans.
But humans could be deceptive.
They could maintain an air of righteousness and carry out sinister deeds behind a façade of kindness.
Thinking this way, Shi Dixuan decided to kill Yang Mu to ensure his identity remained concealed.
However, why had he fainted? Why had he transformed back into his beast form? What had happened in the meantime?
With his head resting on Yang Mu’s lap, Shi Dixuan was torn inside. His identity was exposed, and his cultivation had disappeared. It would take several days, at least, for it to recover. If, at this moment, Yang Mu were to put a Beast Control collar on him, he would be completely powerless.
Was he going to suffer the same humiliation as the other beastmen?
Shi Dixuan closed his eyes, and at that moment, a gentle breeze brushed against him, lifting the black tuft of hair on his forehead. As it swayed in the wind, this black tuft of hair strangely appeared like the character “王” (king).
With his body mostly recovered, Yang Mu opened his eyes. Surprisingly, Shi Dixuan was still peacefully lying on his lap, unmoving from his position.
Yang Mu felt a bit concerned. Nothing had happened to Shi Dixuan, had it?
He lifted Shi Dixuan with his hand and examined him carefully. Shi Dixuan’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and their gazes met.
Both Yang Mu and the “dog” were momentarily stunned. Yang Mu felt as if Shi Dixuan’s eyes were deep and dark, like a whirlpool drawing him in.
While Shi Dixuan was carefully observing Yang Mu, he felt a slight sense of surprise.
Yang Mu’s face showed no sign of greed, and although his expression appeared indifferent, the faint glint of concern was visible in his bright phoenix-like eyes.
Is…he worried about me?
Seeing Shi Dixuan wake up, Yang Mu immediately set him down. Now that he had awakened, it meant he was fine, and Yang Mu felt relieved.
Yang Mu climbed down from the tree branch, looking around. With Shi Dixuan now transformed into his beast form, the responsibility of securing the jade tablet fell on his shoulders.
He was about to use this opportunity to train himself. His confidence had been greatly shaken by his previous battle with Shang Jie.
As Yang Mu prepared to jump down from the tree, Shi Dixuan remained curled up quietly to the side, not moving at all.
Yang Mu didn’t know what Shi Dixuan was thinking, but he could make some guesses.
With Shi Dixuan having exposed his true identity in front of him and being unable to harm him at the moment, Shi Dixuan must be worrying about whether Yang Mu would take this opportunity to put a Beast Control Collar on him.
Yang Mu didn’t know how to explain that he had no interest in the Jingye of the beastmen, and even if he said it, Shi Dixuan might not believe him.
Yang Mu didn’t bother explaining and was ready to demonstrate his attitude through actions.
Since he couldn’t bring himself to kill Shi Dixuan, he decided to make it clear through his actions that he wasn’t a threat.
He placed Shi Dixuan back in his embrace. The moment Shi Dixuan came into contact with Yang Mu’s arms, his entire body tensed up. Yang Mu remained silent and jumped down from the tree, searching for “prey.”
Perhaps Yang Mu had moved to a different area, or maybe the other party had come from another region. It didn’t take long for Yang Mu to spot a lone disciple from a martial sect not far away.
The martial sect disciple appeared to have a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage, and just as easily as Shi Dixuan had subdued Yang Mu, Yang Mu overpowered the disciple.
Engaging in a “legitimate” task like grabbing jade tokens, Yang Mu didn’t bother hiding his identity. He stood there and used the aura of his Nascent Soul stage to force the disciple to hand over the jade token.
As he held the first jade token he obtained in his hand, Yang Mu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. Using his Nascent Soul cultivation to dominate someone at the Qi Refinement stage was quite “over the top.” Nevertheless, while feeling somewhat embarrassed, he continued using this method to snatch jade tokens from several lower-cultivation disciples.
Of course, he didn’t spare the Foundation Establishment stage disciples either. Whenever he encountered them, he seized their jade tokens without hesitation.
In a short time, Yang Mu had collected seven or eight jade tokens. Of course, luck played a part in this.
Feeling the translucent jade tokens in his storage ring, Yang Mu’s mood improved. He walked through the forest with Shi Dixuan in his arms, his face showing a faint sense of superiority.
Just when Yang Mu was enjoying this feeling and planning to gather more jade tokens and challenge those with higher cultivation levels, Shi Dixuan, who had been quiet in his arms, subtly shifted his body.
What’s going to happen next I wonder.
