”Congratulations for getting well, young master,” said Duo Ji with a salute.

Xiang Shaoyun quickly stopped the salute and said, ”Don't act like that, old drunkard. If you guys had not arrived, I would have died.”

”That is our duty as subordinates,” said Duo Ji earnestly.

He was gratified to see that Xiang Shaoyun had reached the Transformation Realm. He still remembered back when he fled with Xiang Shaoyun that he was only a third-stage Basic Realm cultivator. It had only been two years, yet he had already reached this level. This was quite a shocking growth.

Prior to this, Xiang Shaoyun was an early ninth-stage Transformation Realm cultivator. But after half a month of transformation when he was unconscious, his strength had grown, and he had reached peak Transformation Realm. In truth, it wasn't a large increase, considering the fact that all the medicinal power had been squeezed out of his body. He could no longer grow the same way in the future. Most of the medicinal power had worked to cleanse his body, which was much more beneficial than pus.h.i.+ng up his cultivation level.

”Young master, where is the young lady?” asked First Eagle.

”She was too tired. Just let her have a good sleep,” said Xiang Shaoyun. He could see the disdain First Eagle had toward him, but he did not resent it at all. He had matured much and naturally understood the reason for the disdain.

This was a world where strength mattered above everything else. Only by becoming strong would one gain respect.

He scanned his surroundings and asked, ”Where is this? What has happened in recent days? Old drunkard, update me.”

Duo Ji nodded and gave a simplified version of everything that had happened.

”Little White is here too? Where are they?” Xiang Shaoyun asked, a look of pleasant surprise on his face.

Right after he asked that, Little White rushed out from a different direction while shouting in surprise, ”Boss, you're finally awake!”

Looking at the humanoid Little White, Xiang Shaoyun spoke in excitement, ”Haha, finally, us brothers meet again.”

Xiang Shaoyun ran forward and gave Little White a big hug. He had heard from the old drunkard that Little White had arrived and saved them all during their moment of crisis. If he had not appeared then, all of them would have died.

Xiang Shaoyun was filled with grat.i.tude. Because he had tasted betrayal before, he appreciated true friends.h.i.+p even more.

”Boss, come to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range with me! With the tiger clan protecting you, n.o.body will dare to harm you!” offered Little White earnestly.

Xiang Shaoyun replied, ”I know you are offering that to help, but I can't go with you. Some things we just have to face, and some weight we just have to carry.”

”But you can leave after you have grown even stronger! We have more than enough resources for you to cultivate there!” said Little White.

”Thank you for the offer, but I can't do that,” said Xiang Shaoyun firmly.

Although Little White's suggestion was good, he did not want to continue hiding himself. Perhaps he had to take more initiative to gain more room of growth and opportunities for himself. He did not want to rely on his sister to regain his family estate. No big brother with any self respect would want that.

When Little White saw how resolute Xiang Shaoyun was, he gave a different suggestion instead, ”I will leave Jin Wo behind to protect you instead. He is now a Demon Emperor.”

Xiang Shaoyun wanted to reject that as well, but Little White quickly added, ”He can be your temporary mount, boss. That will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble. When I'm done with my cultivation, I will rejoin you, and together, we will battle the world!”

”Fine, let him stay. I won't treat him unfairly,” Xiang Shaoyun agreed after giving it some thought.
