390 Many Beast Kings Gather to Celebrate with Jun Mo Xie! (1/2)
Big Bear came down to the ground after a long time passed. He then transformed into his human form again. He seemed very happy as he looked over his body. It seemed as if he was in a dream. A long, long time passed. However, it seemed as if this dream-like state of his' hadn't come to pass.
He examined him body very thoroughly a few times before he finally accepted that he had genuinely made a breakthrough.
Big Bear looked upwards, and let out a roar. Then, two tears rolled down his big eyes. He then took great strides, and stood in front of Jun Mo Xie. After that, he eagerly kneeled.
Jun Mo Xie was startled by this. Consequently, he didn't even get the time to stop Big Bear as he continually knocked his head on the ground. Meanwhile, Big Bear choked with emotion as he spoke, ”Thank you… thank you…”
Long Crane had been standing on the side this entire time, and his eyes had also somewhat reddened.
He was also a Xuan Beast King like Big Bear, and he had also been stuck at the same bottleneck. Therefore, he understood Big Bear's frame of mind. And, he also understood why the Bear King was kowtowing. Big Bear had acted like this because that mysterious person had given the two of them a new lease of life.
Jun Mo Xie hurriedly pulled Big Bear to stand upright, and said, ”What is this for? We had made an agreement. And, I was only honoring my commitment. There's no need to do this!” Jun Mo Xie felt somewhat embarrassed as he said this. In fact, he felt as if he was the typical sort of man who took cheap advantages of others…
[This isn't that big a deal. I could do this eight to ten times a day. And, I'd still have room for more…]
However, Big Bear and Long Crane didn't feel that way. And so, they spoke-up with tears in their eyes, ”This may have been an agreement, and it may not feel much to you… but, it means the world to us. In fact, it is similar to receiving a new lease of life! We don't have the words to thank you for this huge favor! The senior can send us on any errand without hesitation, and we would do whatever he says. The strength of our bodies isn't weak. We aren't called Beast Kings for no reason!”
Jun Mo Xie looked at Big Bear. His eyes were glittering with a luster of sincerity. In fact, Jun Mo Xie was left to feel that his future plans to exploit their strength were a bit despicable after he witnessed the genuine sincerity in their eyes.
He faced upwards, and sighed as he finally figured it out. [One may need many schemes to motivate their subordinates to face the enemy. And, one may need to use such scheme again and again. However, no such methods are required to seek help from a true friend. In fact, a little kindness would be enough to motivate them.]
And, Big Bear was obviously such a person…
He wouldn't forget someone's kindness until the day of his death.
And, such people were worth making friends with.
Jun Mo Xie's expression became peculiarly gentle as he softly patted Big Bear's shoulder and said in an earnest tone, ”Don't be like this, Big Bear. I genuinely consider you a friend!”
He let out a prolonged sigh, and spoke, ”I don't have many friends in this world. You are one of the very few… so you don't need to thank me!”
Big Bear's face lit-up since he became overjoyed at these unexpected words, ”Great! That's amazing! I was acting in a very unnatural manner, ha ha…”
Jun Mo Xie chuckled gently, ”Now it's your turn to keep guard while I help Crane King and fulfill my promise.”
Long Crane anxiously suggested, ”You must've become very exhausted. Why don't you rest for a while and recuperate?”
Jun Mo Xie replied, ”No, I can still do it. Come on.” He then extended his hand.
Long Crane hesitated at first. He repeatedly sized-up Jun Mo Xie to ensure he was alright before he eventually sat down.
...
Some time had passed. Jun Mo Xie looked at the ecstasy filled faces of Long Crane and Big Bear. And, he suddenly felt very happy inside. In fact, he couldn't even describe this strange and unspeakable happiness.
This kind of happiness was entirely different from the one he'd feel after his well-calculated plan had succeeded… or the ecstasy of suddenly discovering treasure… or even the relief after he had killed an enemy.
This was a very pure form of happiness! And, this strange happiness had surprisingly given Jun Mo Xie great joy.
[The struggle of fighting to death in very thrilling… But, helping people on the odd occasion also feels very good…]
Jun Mo Xie smiled as he pondered…
The Young Master Jun had been feeling cheerful and content the entire night.
Big Bear and Long Crane spared no efforts to invite their benefactor for a celebration. In fact, they even vowed that they already prepared some Monkey Wine as a token of their appreciation…
It was very difficult for Young Master Jun to decline the great kindness and repeated invites of the two Xuan Beast Kings. And, it would also be unreasonable to do so. Moreover, there was still a lot of time left before the break of dawn. Therefore, Jun Mo Xie gladly accepted their invite…
The Monkey Wine was considered legendary in comparison to the inferior wines of the rest of the world. Therefore, it would be too big a waste of the opportunity if he didn't try it…
