Chapter 557: Sacred Trials And Little Shrubby Awakens (2/2)

Lin Mu opened his eyes and saw some movement in front of him. Little Shrubby, who had been asleep the entire time, finally started moving. Low purrs came out of his mouth as his eyelids trembled. Finally, a minute later, the beast opened his eyes.

”Master…” Little Shrubby spoke.

”You're finally awake. You've been asleep for a while now.” Lin Mu said with a smile.

”Are you okay, master?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”I'm fine. I… also need to thank you for saving me at the Tri Cauldron peony sect.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Of course! I won't let anyone harm master!” Little Shrubby said with determination.

~pat~pat~

Lin Mu pat the head of little Shrubby, which was a lot softer due to the new and long fur that had grown there.

”How do you feel now? Are there any problems in your body?” Lin Mu questioned.

Little Shrubby closed his eyes for a bit before opening, slight confusion present in them.

”I broke through? And I feel different.” Little Shrubby spoke.

”Yes, you broke through. You've been absorbing the Beast Qi that I've been injecting into you.” Lin Mu replied.

”Beast Qi?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”Ah, yes you haven't seen it yet.” Lin Mu said. ”Let me show you and you can tell me what you feel about it.” He added.

While Lin Mu knew about Beast Qi and had seen its effects on Little Shrubby, he would still know better if Little Shrubby himself told him how it felt.

Lin Mu chanted the Nurturing heart sutra, which made Little Shrubby's ears perk up.

”What is that, master? It's so… good?” Little Shrubby said, finding the chants pleasant.

Lin Mu lightly nodded his head before completing the chant and refining the Beast Qi string in his Dantian.

”It is one of my abilities that allows me to make Beast Qi.” Lin Mu said before drawing out the string of beast Qi from his Dantian.

As soon as little Shrubby saw it, his pupils went wide, fully covering his eyes.
