Chapter 1072: The Wolf in Sheep’s Skin (1/2)

“Don’t disturb me! Go away, ugly beast!” Miluya snarled like a frightened kitten when the Guardian Lion approached her.

“You dare talk to me like that!?” the Guardian Lion roared. Never in its life had anyone treated him with such disrespect. He was the infamous Ten-Headed Guardian Lion. His strength was formidable and known throughout the Celestial Realm. Even though he was not as strong as the Four Elemental Primordials, he was still a Primordial Celestial. No one could hope to match his strength, not even the other Primordials, lest the Four Elemental Primordials.

Enraged with such treatment, the Guardian Lion stomped towards Miluya, wanting to teach the insolent little girl a lesson. At that moment, a smaller NPC appeared beside him.

“My lord, there’s no need to sully yourself for this small matter. Please allow this one to teach her in your stead,” said a Primordial Celestial that looked like a squid.

The NPC was an Intermediate Celestial, at Level 118. He most certainly had no problem dealing with Jiang Fei but not Miluya. The man was staring at Death herself and yet he failed to realize it. Then again, it could not be helped. NPCs never had the ability to identify others like how players were able to, with name tags and status checks. The squid NPC did not know who it was going up against.

“Come now, little one. It takes two hands to clap. Or in this case, 10 limbs to slither you around…” said the squid NPC as he walked towards Miluya with eyes that gleamed with lust. Even though they do not have a gender, they still have a certain preference when it came to… personal interest. Anyone that had seen enough would know where this was going…

Repulsed by the NPC but not the lustful and suggestive moves, Miliya retreated back. The girl might still be young but she was intelligent enough to know that anything that was coming towards you with such movements was bad! Stranger danger!

“Eww! Get away from me! I’m warning you! I will beat you up!” Miluya shrieked.

“Come at me, little beauty! I shall thoroughly enjoy it! Nyeh hehehehe!”

The squid NPC laughed menacingly before extending its limbs towards her.

“No! Go away!” Miluya screamed. At that moment, Miluya’s entire body burst in a grayish flame. The flame was large and strong, yet it did not harm her at all. The squid NPC, on the other hand, did not manage to retract its tentacles in time and got its tentacles caught in the flames.

“Urgh! What is this sorcery!?”

The NPC quickly tried to put out the flames by slamming its tentacles on the ground. However, no matter how hard it tried, the flames kept on burning. It did not take long for the flame to spread throughout its entire body.

“Help me!” cried the squid NPC.

“I’ll save you!” the Guardian Lion responded. Unfortunately, before the Guardian Lion could do anything, the squid NPC went poof, turning into a pile of ash.

“You killed him!” the Guardian Lion roared furiously, glaring at Miluya with all of its ten heads. His low solemn voice reverberated with the air, sending chills to all that were intimidated by it.

“I- I told him not to come close!” said Miluya, defending herself even though she knew she was at fault. She was, after all, a little girl at heart. Being threatened by a huge ten-headed lion was terrifying.
