Adorably Cute Beasts: The Ultimate Beloved Pet Who Captivates the World

Chapter 125: A False Alarm

Tao Tao caused a huge commotion by devouring a low-level demon beast in the back mountain, which led Yun Youzi and Qian Wenyang to rush over, intending to subdue the demon beast as soon as possible and then go to preside over the martial arts competition.

Unexpectedly, after searching all the way, they caught up with a white shadow that darted away, but it was so fast that even the two of them couldn't catch up.

How strange! There's such a powerful monster? It seems to be of a very high level.

So Qian Wenyang suggested, "Why don't we release the little monster to lure it out?"

“The method is feasible.” You Yunzi nodded, waved his sleeve, and released three small demon beasts. He then set up a magic array around the demon beasts, waiting for the legendary Devouring Beast to walk into his trap.

The two hid in the woods, concealing their presence, and were ready to strike at any moment.

In no time, the white figure darted back, its target the three demonic beasts. It plunged in headfirst, completely unaware of the surrounding magic array, and swallowed all three beasts whole at once. Just then, You Yunzi whispered, "Seal!"

Suddenly, the magic circle activated, trapping the white shadow inside, preventing it from escaping no matter how much it struggled.

"What is this?" Tao Tao panicked and suddenly transformed into human form, taking out the Ice Thunder Sword to chop it down. At the same time, Qian Wenyang summoned a sword formation, preparing to kill it. But in that instant, You Yunzi noticed something amiss and quickly stopped him.

"and many more!"

"What are you doing? Do you want to subdue this monster? Didn't you see it devouring other monsters everywhere? Such an evil creature must not be allowed to live."

Qian Wenyang had a fiery temper and was too lazy to waste words, so he directly activated the sword formation. This angered You Yunzi so much that he waved his sleeve and a cloud of black mist appeared to block the sword formation. Seeing that You Yunzi almost revealed his true form, Qian Wenyang was very shocked. "What are you doing? Don't you want to get rid of that monster?"

"Demon beast, demon beast, you bastard! That's my grand-disciple!" You Yunzi roared and pushed Qian Wenyang aside. Although they were both elders of the Annihilation Frost Sect, You Yunzi's cultivation was much higher. Qian Wenyang was pushed so hard that he stumbled and almost lost his balance.

"Little one, what are you doing here?"

You Yunzi hurriedly arrived at the magic circle, casually removed it, and walked up to Tao Tao, who had just transformed into human form, and asked him worriedly.

If it weren't for his sharp eyes, Tao Tao would probably have died instantly in Qian Wenyang's sword formation.

"Grandmaster!" Tao Tao didn't expect it to be You Yunzi. She quickly ran over and hugged him, saying with a wronged tone, "I was chasing a demon beast, but I was trapped by this magic array in the blink of an eye. This magic array is so powerful that I can't break it no matter what I do."

“Silly child, that’s your grandmaster Qian Wenyang’s magic array. How could you, with your meager cultivation, possibly break through it?” You Yunzi shook his head slightly and sighed.

Qian Wenyang ran over with a bewildered look on his face, looked Tao Tao up and down, and showed a very strange expression. "So the Devouring Beast they were talking about is this little one? No, I mean, Senior Brother, why do you guys in Immortal Spirit Valley always have these kinds of problems? Wasn't she the one who ate the Luo Cui Jade Marrow Bamboo Shoots from Emerald Bamboo Peak last time?"

"So what? What's wrong with my Tao Tao eating something? You have a problem with that? Next time, come to your Xiao Huanfeng and eat your mushrooms!" You Yunzi was fiercely protective of her daughter and couldn't stand any bad words about Tao Tao. Qian Wenyang, standing to the side, curled his lips and said, "You're just spoiling her. Be careful she doesn't cause a huge disaster in the end."

"Well, this old man is here to protect us. Besides, our Tao Tao is so well-behaved and obedient, how could he cause trouble?"

"They haven't caused any trouble yet, so what about the Devouring Beast this time?"

"It's those blind fools talking nonsense. They can't even tell the difference between Tao Tao and the Devouring Beast. Besides, what is a Devouring Beast? Have you ever seen one, Junior Brother?"

"..."

Faced with You Yunzi's fallacies, Qian Wenyang had nothing to say. Everyone knew that You Yunzi was protective of his own and doted on his little disciple, Letaotao. Saying more would be pointless.

"Alright, since there's no such thing as a Devouring Beast, I'll head back now. Senior Brother, you should also go back soon; there's still a lot to do." With that, Qian Wenyang transformed into a streak of red light and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing into the horizon.

As soon as Qian Wenyang left, You Yunzi immediately checked Tao Tao over and over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured. "You naughty boy."

"Grandmaster, I came here for cultivation."

"Cultivation?" You Yunzi pricked up her ears, her face full of surprise. It was common knowledge that the little one was greedy, and she herself hadn't hidden it. This was the first time she had heard her use such an excuse, and You Yunzi was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, the more you absorb, the higher your cultivation level will be. Tomorrow I will be participating in the C-level competition, so I have to improve my cultivation level in a short period of time."

"Our Tao Tao is so amazing, he's already participating in the Class C competition, so you should at least have 500 points by now." Hearing this, You Yunzi stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, but then he thought for a moment and felt something was off, "Who told you that the more you devour, the higher your cultivation level will be?"

"Ah..." Tao Tao almost blurted out Bai Yan's name, but luckily she realized what she was doing and quickly said, "It was the Ancestor who said it."

"Ancestor?" You Yunzi was dumbfounded. Which ancestor? Could it be their Annihilation Frost Sect's True Dragon Ancestor?

"Yes, he told me in a dream. I dared not neglect it and immediately did as he said."

Tao Tao can lie without batting an eye these days, but when you think about it, she doesn't seem to be lying. Bai Yan is indeed the True Dragon Ancestor, and these words weren't said to her by Bai Yan.

"Oh, I see..." You Yunzi twitched his lips. He knew about Tao Tao's connection with the True Dragon Ancestor. Although he felt that the old man would not go so far as to send her a dream for such a trivial matter, he could not refute the little one since she believed him. He could only pat her head and say earnestly, "You can come to me anytime if you have any questions. As for the martial arts competition later, I will give you something else."

As he spoke, You Yunzi took out a flute that was entirely emerald green, with a piece of chalcedony hanging from it, which looked very delicate.

"This is a flute made from the jadeite bamboo of your ancient master. I haven't named it yet. I'm giving it to you now. You might find it useful in the upcoming martial arts competition."

"Thank you, Grandmaster!" Tao Tao smiled sweetly, took the flute and examined it carefully. As expected of a flute made of Luo Cui Jade Marrow Bamboo, one could clearly feel the profound power contained within it just by touching it.

"Alright, you should go back early too. Don't wander around here aimlessly, or people will misunderstand you again. Good luck in tomorrow's competition. If you encounter a strong opponent, don't force yourself to fight. Know when to give up. Points are important, but safety comes first."

"I know."

Tao Tao nodded seriously, and You Yunzi left with peace of mind. As soon as he left, Bai Yan, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly appeared. He had actually been there all along, but Qian Wenyang and You Yunzi had not noticed his presence.

"You're getting better and better at lying, you little liar."

Bai Yan suddenly said something, and Tao Tao muttered softly, "I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth. Wasn't it the ancestor who told me the method?"

"..." Bai Yan was speechless for a moment. Sure enough, there was no chance of winning an argument with a little girl.
