Yang Mu always felt that this person’s face was somewhat familiar. He tried hard to capture the figure of this person in his memory, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
He couldn’t remember this person in front of him, but this black-clothed person in front of him felt like a thorn in his throat.
This black-clothed person is Xiao Hei.
After Xiao Hei discovered that Yang Mu was from the Xianling Sect, he kept thinking about it. Xiao Hei always harbored a deep hatred for this human who had robbed half of Shi Dixuan’s cultivation.
These days, Shi Dixuan has been busy teaching the beastmen how to cultivate more quickly, so he has not gone out to battle with humans again. Xiao Hei had some free time and decided to wait at the entrance of the Xianling Sect to catch Yang Mu off guard. Unexpectedly, after only a few days of waiting, he finally saw Yang Mu leaving the Xianling Sect.
Xiao Hei had exceptional talent, and under Shi Dixuan’s guidance, he quickly reached the Nascent Soul stage. On the other hand, after Yang Mu reached the Nascent Divinity stage, he intentionally or unintentionally concealed his cultivation. So Xiao Hei could only vaguely sense that Yang Mu’s current cultivation should be similar to his own, but he couldn’t make an accurate judgment.
Driven by hatred and influenced by the oppressive aura of Shi Dixuan, Xiao Hei, without hesitation, came to seek revenge from Yang Mu. With his advantage in speed as a beastman, even if Yang Mu were to notice someone following him, he wouldn’t be able to pinpoint Xiao Hei’s exact location in a short time.
However, when Xiao Hei finally saw Yang Mu, he noticed that there were two more people with him. He quietly followed them all the way, and it was only after they arrived at this plain that Xiao Hei realized the figures beside Yang Mu were not humans, but beastmen.
Therefore, Xiao Hei, who had originally planned to follow them a bit further, couldn’t help but reveal himself.
“Who are you?” Yang Mu asked coldly.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Xiao Hei sneered and did not answer Yang Mu’s question. Instead, he asked Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, who were with Yang Mu, “As beastmen, why are you following this human? What is he using to coerce you two?” He carefully examined Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang’s necks but found no beast control collar or similar items.
‘This person actually knows, Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang are beastmen?’ Yang Mu was surprised and suspicious. However, upon further thought, since this person had been following him all the way, he must have seen the scene where he had Xiao Huang look for the Transformation Grass. Guessing that Xiao Huang was a beastman wasn’t that strange. But…

“…” Seeing the indignant look on the person in front of him, Yang Mu probably guessed that this person was most likely not a human but a beastman who had consumed the Transformation Grass.
To his surprise, a beastman had found his way here, which made Yang Mu feel somewhat uneasy. He couldn’t help but speculate: Was this a beastman sent by Shi Dixuan to track him? Had Shi Dixuan already discovered that he was in the Xianling Sect?
“What are you talking about?” Yang Mu remained silent, but Xiao Huang beside him couldn’t help but speak up. The young boy, with a slightly chubby face, spoke in a crisp voice, “Why are you following us for no reason?”
Xiao Huang looked at Xiao Hei with impatience. In his mind, he had finally managed to have a peaceful time with Yang Mu without being disturbed by outsiders, but now this person had inexplicably appeared out of nowhere, ruining his good mood.
Xiao Hei, feeling irritated, sneered and pointed at Yang Mu. “You’re quite something, gaining the trust of a beastman to this extent.”
Yang Mu remained expressionless, feeling unjustly accused. He hadn’t intended to have Xiao Huang in the first place; Shi Dixuan had sent him over. Strictly speaking, he felt he was rather irresponsible, spending all his time either cultivating or training. He had raised Xiao Huang as a little duck, and when Xiao Huang transformed into a human, he unexpectedly gave birth to Xiao Bai, whom he then entrusted to Xiao Huang to raise.
Xiao Hei angrily pointed at Yang Mu. Xiao Bai, who had been silent, quietly moved closer and stood in front of Yang Mu. However, Xiao Bai was only ten years old, much smaller than Xiao Huang, let alone compared to the adult Yang Mu.
Standing in front of Yang Mu, his head barely reached Yang Mu’s lower abdomen.
Looking at the furry black head in front of him, Yang Mu couldn’t help but feel a warm sensation in his heart. His son was like his little cotton jacket. From initially not wanting to believe that he had a son to now liking him more and more, Yang Mu couldn’t help but raise his hand and pat Xiao Bai’s head.
When Yang Mu patted Xiao Bai’s head, Xiao Bai remained expressionless, but his ears quietly turned red. In the end, he couldn’t help but rub his head against Yang Mu’s hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Huang immediately bristled. He grabbed Yang Mu’s sleeve and said, “Me too, me too.” Yang Mu, helpless, reached out and also patted his head.
Xiao Huang’s height had grown rapidly. From his transformation to now, the difference in height between him and Yang Mu was only half a head.
The three of them were displaying affection here, which made Xiao Hei so angry he felt like spitting blood. In his mind, beastmen and humans should be enemies; it should be either you die or I live. Yet here, in front of him, were two beastman helping a human?
“Where is Shi Dixuan? Why hasn’t he come?” Yang Mu asked.
Instead of guessing in his mind whether these beastmen were from Shi Dixuan’s side, he might as well ask directly. He chose a straightforward and provocative question.
Xiao Hei took the bait and said, “Our king is busy. I’ll take care of you disgusting humans.” In his mind, he had already made up his mind that even if he couldn’t kill Yang Mu today, he would take the beastmen with him.
It was indeed a beastman from Shi Dixuan’s side. Yang Mu lowered his eyes. Knowing that the other party was from Shi Dixuan’s side, he didn’t feel as panicked as before for some reason.
“What do you want?” Yang Mu asked.
“What do I want?” Xiao Hei took out a weapon from his storage bag. “Naturally, to kill you.” With that, he rushed towards Yang Mu with his weapon.
As the fight progressed, even a small difference in levels could lead to a huge gap in strength between two people. Moreover, Xiao Hei was currently in the early Nascent Soul stage, while Yang Mu was in the late Nascent Divinity stage. Even with Xiao Hei’s talent as a beastman, he couldn’t win against Yang Mu, who was three levels higher, in one go.
Yang Mu protected Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang while unleashing his full strength, taking out his weapon to counter Xiao Hei’s attack. The difference in cultivation levels caused Xiao Hei to be knocked back by the force of Yang Mu’s weapon.
“You’ve already reached the late Nascent Divinity stage,” Xiao Hei looked at Yang Mu with a complex expression. “The essence the king gave you has actually helped you improve your cultivation so much.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Mu restrained the urge to roll his eyes. Who would want Shi Dixuan’s essence? If he could go back, he would never go to that grove.
Having been tricked into having a child and now having to hide from Shi Dixuan, Yang Mu had no interest in Shi Dixuan’s essence. Whoever wanted it could have it; he didn’t care.
Xiao Hei pursed his lips, glanced at Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang beside Yang Mu, and said, “You two should leave this human as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will regret it sooner or later.” He realized that the difference in cultivation between him and Yang Mu was too great, so he didn’t plan to fight hard and decided to leave early. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future; there was no need to focus on this moment.
With a flicker in his eyes as he looked at the beastmen around Yang Mu, Xiao Hei turned around and swiftly disappeared from Yang Mu’s sight.
He needed to report back to the King quickly.
Eh…
Thank You for the new chapter ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
Oh
So Shi Dixuan would know about Yang Mu in next chapter
The main character is honestly thicker than a 7th century castle wall. They seem unable to process anything, how do you forget the face of your killer?
Not everyone remember faces and names clearly after some times passing by. Case in point is me 😅
It was clearly stated in one of the last chapters that his killer was the rescued youth of the auction house and not xiao hei (correct me if I’m wrong)
Thank you for the chapter!
I wonder how the mc and his son will interact? We never really see any interactions at all.
Time for a family reunion…
