Chapter 1072: The Wolf in Sheep’s Skin (2/2)
“Kill her,” said the Guardian Lion before turning his back. The rest of the underlings jumped forward to attack. ‘
Miluya’s appearance was a little girl at the age of 12 or so. Besides the perverted squid NPC, the rest of them were merely jumping at her with the sole intention to kill her. Nothing else. As mentioned, Primordial Celestials had no lust in their spectrum of emotions. Only a few were special but most of them were completely… sexless.
The rest of the Guardian Lion’s underlings jumped in quickly, but they retreated just as fast. The gray flames on Miluya were still burning. Besides the Ten-Headed Guardian Lion itself, all nine of the other Primordial Celestials were burned into ash. All of them tried their best to put out the flames before they died but none of them succeeded.
The Ten-Headed Guardian Lion did nothing but stood silently when his underlings were writhing in pain as they were burned to death. He had only managed to put out the flames that had accidentally spread to him when he tried to attack Miluya. If Miluya had intentionally tried to burn him, he might not be able to put out the flames…
From the start, besides retreating from the perverted squid NPC, Miluya had barely moved. Without actually moving, she had single-handedly defeated nine Primordial Celestials! And that was not done intentionally! When the Guardian Lion realized that truth, he started to question his position then. What sort of situation did he put himself into? Just who was this girl that had just burned all his underlings without even lifting a finger? Was she just as strong as the Four Elementals?
Alone, the Guardian Lion tried to pace backward, away from Miluya as slowly as possible. Right then, she was distracted. When the giant Guardian Lion approached her with powerful killing intent, she squirmed and started to cry whilst squatting. When the wails of pain were over and even the Guardian Lion had retreated a few steps back, she came to and looked up. This time, instead of a gaze fueled with killing intent, Miluya saw the Guardian Lion’s eyes, shivering with fear.
“Hmm? Where are the rest of the ugly beasts?” Miluya asked, standing up.
The Ten-Headed Guardian Lion stopped pacing when Miluya stood up. At that moment, he had only managed to get a few meters away from her. When she stood up, the frightened Guardian Lion was frozen stiff. The powerful aura that the girl was giving off made his legs weak, rendering him immobile.
“How unlucky of me! What kind of monster is that?! She’s literally a wolf in sheep’s skin! If I knew just how strong she was, I would have run!” thought the Guardian Lion. Looks can be deceiving. It was one of the life lessons he had learned but completely forgot about. The display of power by the girl was just… instead of defeating her, running away might be a problem now.
“Ah! You!”
“Heeeeeee!” the Guardian Lion shrieked when Miluya was addressing him.
“Could you please move aside. I’m walking here,” said the girl politely as the Guardian Lion was peeing on the ground!
“I’m sorry! Forgive me!” cried the Guardian Lion as he had misunderstood what the girl was conveying. He even knelt on all fours!
“Eh?” Miluya gasped. She was surprised at the sudden change of attitude. How could one expect to see a giant lion monster begging for its life to a little girl?
At that moment…
“There you are! Miluya! I’m glad you’re alright! How could you walk around without me?” said Jiang Fei, appearing from behind. He had spent too long thinking about what to do next. It was when he realized Miluya was missing did he quickly descend the mountain to search for her. Currently, Miluya had grown slightly older again. However, Jiang Fei understood that such a phenomenon was nothing out of the ordinary. Or, in a crude way of saying, Jiang Fei did not give a f*ck anymore.
