Chapter 532 - 530: Beaten by a Rabbit
With a loud bang, a lot of hard stones fell from the top of the cave, and Chen Tianlong’s body was falling. At this moment, he was still able to maintain his balance, smoothly descending.
Just as Chen Tianlong was feeling relieved, the big white rabbit jumped up again.
Chen Tianlong was very frustrated. This damned rabbit, does it want to treat him like a ball? Can’t it let him land first? It’s very difficult to control one’s body in such a state of weightlessness.
No doubt, this spirit beast rabbit is somewhat smart. It knows very well that its opponent cannot exert full strength in mid-air, so it kept Chen Tianlong suspended, not allowing him to come down.
"Bang!"
Another loud noise, like a volleyball being hit, Chen Tianlong was pushed back up to the top of the cave, crashing into the cave wall again.
Chen Tianlong was frustrated. If this happens a few more times, he fears even his Protective Qi might not hold up.
However, in this situation, he has no say in the matter. After all, he was always in a state of weightlessness, unable to exert strength, with no way out.
If he could land, at least he could dodge. With his strength, dodging the dead rabbit’s attack is possible. But now, there’s really no way.
Besides Chen Tianlong’s frustration, Shen Yan was even more conflicted on the side.
She originally wanted to make a move but hesitated because if she did, her identity would be exposed. In case Chen Tianlong misunderstands her, thinking she’s hiding her strength to get close to him, with schemes in mind, she would rather not act if that were the case.
However, seeing Chen Tianlong getting hit over and over again, with his body covered in bruises, her heart ached.
At this moment, the situation was very severe. After getting hit five or six times, Chen Tianlong was slightly dizzy, and his body’s resistance was extremely low. He felt that if he were hit a couple more times, he would probably pass out.
"Damn it, am I going to die at the hands of this rabbit? Damn it, my beautiful life is going to end because of this damned rabbit, it’s so frustrating!"
Chen Tianlong thought to himself, angry and helpless. He could only close his eyes and wait, hoping that this dead rabbit would show mercy.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, Chen Tianlong thought he was finally finished by the rabbit spirit beast’s ultimate move.
But a few seconds later, he felt something was wrong. Shouldn’t he have crashed into a hard rock, his body falling apart, bleeding, and passing out?
Why was there no pain, no collision, but instead, he seemed to be wrapped in a warm body? What was going on?
Chen Tianlong hurriedly opened his eyes and saw, my god!
Isn’t it Shen Yan?
What’s going on, was he dreaming? Why was he lying in Shen Yan’s arms, was it a dying illusion, to be hugged by a beauty even in death?
No!
He wasn’t dead. Chen Tianlong could feel the softness in front of his chest and the heart beating rapidly.
Chen Tianlong instinctively looked up, only to see a delicate face staring into the distance, seemingly afraid to look at him. Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and said in surprise, "Shen Yan, you..."
"I’m sorry, Chen Tianlong."
Shen Yan knew what Chen Tianlong wanted to say and hurriedly interrupted, "I didn’t mean it, I have my secrets, and I assure you, I absolutely don’t have any ill intentions towards you."
"What?"
Chen Tianlong originally wanted to ask Shen Yan why she was so powerful, but he didn’t expect Shen Yan to reveal so much, which greatly surprised him.
Just because of this, Chen Tianlong was moved. Why blame her? Regardless of who Shen Yan is, just her life-saving grace earlier should be enough to forgive her, even if she is a villain.
"Shen Yan, why are you apologizing to me? You just saved me." Chen Tianlong said with a slight smile.
"Squeak squeak..."
Suddenly, a rabbit’s cry came from the side. Chen Tianlong quickly came down from Shen Yan’s embrace, then vigilantly looked ahead, only to find that the previously arrogant big-toothed rabbit had already disappeared.
In its place was a gentle and cute small white rabbit. This time the little white rabbit did not rush towards Chen Tianlong but walked to Shen Yan’s heel, extending its small paw to gently stroke her.
"Ah!"
Shen Yan was lost in thought, suddenly being touched by the spirit beast rabbit startled her so much she almost kicked it away. Fortunately, she instinctively looked down and was surprised to find it was an adorable little white rabbit.
Shen Yan knew the abilities of the Spirit Beast Realm. Besides cultivation, they could transform, distinguishing between their original and combat states, just like the lightning pig Chen Tianlong fought on the mountaintop before.
Chen Tianlong bent down to catch it, but the little white rabbit quickly hid behind Shen Yan, hiding sneakily.
Shen Yan covered her mouth, chuckling, knowing that this spirit beast was subdued by her. The spirit beast rabbit must have been subdued by her immense strength, thus pledging allegiance to her.
In the Spirit Beast Realm, recognizing a master also depends on strength; the winner becomes the king.
Clearly, Chen Tianlong couldn’t fight back against it, while Shen Yan knocked it out with just a casual move.
Therefore, the spirit beast rabbit recognized Shen Yan as its master, not Chen Tianlong.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly, also feeling a bit frustrated, realizing he had been looked down upon. He caught a lower-grade lightning pig, while someone else got a high-grade spirit beast rabbit, a real gain.
"Chen Tianlong, sorry, this little thing is coming with me." Shen Yan said, laughing.
"Oh, it’s fine, I have plenty of spirit beasts, I don’t care about this one."
Chen Tianlong acted nonchalantly, but inside he was very frustrated. Such a good spirit beast didn’t follow him. That silly little lightning pig was only Yellow Dao five-star, although fast, couldn’t withstand experts.
"Haha, really?"
Shen Yan could see through Chen Tianlong’s little tricks. This was a Yellow Dao six-star spirit beast, something even those in the Ancient Martial Cultivation Realm rarely have.
Who knows why this Lotus Village hides so many talents, not only having someone as powerful with unknown strength as Old Chen, but also producing two spirit beasts.
Moreover, both spirit beasts were extraordinary, one being Yellow Dao five-star, the other Yellow Dao six-star.
Such heaven-defying strength of spirit beasts is rare in the world. It’s worth knowing spirit beast cultivation, like human levels, is extremely difficult. The little white rabbit you see now might be one or two hundred years old.
Only when it reaches a certain level of cultivation does its body undergo a qualitative leap, retaining its youthful appearance. That’s why the rabbit and the lightning pig appear so cute when reverted to their original forms.
"Of course, when have I ever lied?"
Chen Tianlong pouted, looking unconcerned, then walked to the poolside, plucked a bunch of Anxin Grass, smiled, stood up, and walked towards Shen Yan, saying, "All done, let’s go back."
"Mm, alright."
Seeing that Chen Tianlong didn’t expose her, Shen Yan was very pleased, feeling that Chen Tianlong was exceptionally magnanimous.
