Chapter 44 Melty reunion (1/2)
What is even this beastmaster that they are muttering about?
Thinking about the name itself, it would imply that I have some strange ability to tame the fucking demonic beasts! But who would want to do such a thing? While I admit that its fur was insanely soft and I would love to pet it for the rest of my life, that doesn't prove anything!
In this world where the strength remains supreme, only a stupid person would risk their entire life trying to subdue a monster of similar strength! While it is true that for cultivators and beasts on the same level, the beast will always be physically tougher, stronger or faster, with the addition of various techniques and martial arts, the balance between those two sides of a coin was saved.
That's why I couldn't wrap my head around the faces of the sect cultivators when they heard sect master's muttering as well. Instead of ridicule, their expressions were filled with awe! But wait, that means they think I actually negotiated with this penguin instead of fighting it?
Right now, the even better question was how did they manage to find me in such a short amount of time? While this fight might seem long for me because of how intense and dangerous it was, in the end, it didn't take more than just twenty or thirty minutes! If we didn't go in circles while hunting gyuarnas with Eve, it was damn impossible to go to the sect and back in that time, even if one were to know the exact route and destination!
I remember this strange voice from the visions proclaiming that I will understand everything about the matters tackled by the mortal realm cultivators. It seems that it couldn't be further from the truth as I'm as flabbergasted by the situation as are the sect cultivators with their master leading them in the contest of making a weird face!
But at this moment, all of that didn't really matter. The only thing that could get my attention was the calmness born from Eve's body hugged tightly into mine! While I could feel her softness all around, my hand involuntarily moved on top of her head and started rubbing her hair in an attempt to calm her down.
”I don't know what they think about me being a so-called 'beastmaster', but I had to give all the loot from our hunt to this strange demonic beast so that it can recover at least a bit of its strength.”
With my hand still brushing her head, I pull her even closer to prevent her from jumping out in fright. I can only imagine how will she interpret those words, so denying her the chance to do so and explaining myself is the way to go.
”While it sounds ridiculous, this forest needs this big… Oh, little guy to function properly. If such a powerful figure suddenly disappeared, the power balance among the beasts would crumble. I don't want to be the one responsible for such an event!”
Upon hearing those words, Eve suddenly flared with strength and managed to raise her head from my breast. With drops of tears lingering in the corner of her eyes and trembling mouths, she stared in my eyes as if unable to look anywhere else.
”Why do you care about such minor details!”
Hit!
As if angered by my concern over the forest well-being, she started hitting my chest with her small fists.
