Chapter 236 The Dwarf Tiger
Upon hearing its master call it a dwarf, the Snow Shadow Tiger barked in dissatisfaction.
"Awoo, awoo~"
I'm not a dwarf! I'm not a dwarf tiger!
The Snow Shadow Tiger nibbled at Gu Yan's clothes in dissatisfaction. Gu Yan stroked its head and laughed, "You're thousands of years old, and you're still a baby?"
This guy is shameless.
"Awoo, woof~"
It's the baby, it's the baby~
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yan conjured a massive bronze cauldron. Inside the cauldron was blood, the crimson blood radiating an ancient and powerful aura. This was the blood of the White Tiger Clan's chief god, whom he had killed in the Five Elements Mountain Secret Realm. He intended to use this blood to enhance the cultivation of his spirit pet.
The blood of the gods exuded an incomparably powerful aura and shone with a ruby-like luster, making it look quite extraordinary.
"Come on, jump in," Gu Yan said to Xue Yinghu.
After sniffing the scent of blood, the Snow Shadow Tiger leaped into it. With a splash, its entire body was submerged in the divine blood. The blood soaked its fur and seeped into its body.
This Snow Shadow Tiger is currently only at the Spirit Venerable level. Although Gu Yan diluted the divine blood, it was still too strong for it.
It hurts! It hurts so much!!
The divine blood seeps into the body, a process that is extremely painful.
The Snow Shadow Tiger let out a mournful howl and immediately tried to jump out. But before it could even peek out, a long, slender, fair hand pressed it back down.
"You're not allowed to come out. You have to stay inside for at least an hour."
"Awoo, woof~"
Snow Shadow Tiger protested, struggling fiercely.
But its master is now a Great Immortal, so how could it possibly succeed in its struggle?
"Awoo, woof~"
The Snow Shadow Tiger cried out pitifully, but Gu Yan recalled the scenes of being brutally beaten by Qing Xuanzi. A fledgling eagle must be ruthlessly pushed off a cliff to learn to fly. He was doing this for its own good, so he mercilessly pressed the Snow Shadow Tiger entirely into the bronze cauldron.
"Don't cry out in misery, don't act pitiful! Stay put and behave yourself."
"I'm a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and you only have this much cultivation? It's truly shameful!"
"Awoo—"
"Screaming won't help. Even when I'm cultivating, I get beaten up. What's a little pain? You just have to hold on!!"
"Awoo~"
Gu Yan showed no mercy in tormenting his spirit pet, and in the process, he seemed to understand Qing Xuanzi's feelings about beating him up. After soaking it for an hour, Gu Yan pulled the nearly dead Snow Shadow Tiger out of the water. The creature looked at him pitifully, but soon its body underwent a strange change, and then it fell into a deep sleep.
Once I wake up, I'll probably be able to level up.
So Gu Yan left it in the secret room and let it sleep there.
Stepping out of the secret room, I saw a sky full of stars.
Gu Yan went to take a shower.
After bathing, Gu Yan put on a moon-white robe with wide sleeves embroidered with silver patterns. His black hair was draped behind him, with a few strands falling on his side of his neck. Under the moonlight, his face was incomparably beautiful.
He climbed the winding white jade steps and reached the highest observation deck on the west side of the palace.
Above us was a breathtakingly vast starry sky.
The deep blue sky resembled an inverted giant bowl, studded with countless diamond-like stars. A full moon, like a silver plate, hung high in the sky, its cool moonlight pouring down, coating the glazed tiles and jade railings with a layer of frost-like radiance.
A gentle night breeze, not cold, carried the fragrance of flowers.
Countless firefly-like butterflies fluttered and danced among the flowers. They were no ordinary creatures; their wings, as thin as cicada wings, shimmered with a lustrous glow. Some were pale turquoise, like flowing jade; others were light purple, like drifting wisps of smoke. They intertwined in the night sky, forming flowing ribbons of light, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, sometimes gathering like a radiant feast, sometimes scattering like falling stardust, adorning this royal garden like a dream.
Gu Yan stood leaning against the railing, gazing up at the endless Milky Way. The night wind stirred his clothes and hair, making them flutter and dance in the moonlight.
Suddenly, a presence appeared behind Gu Yan.
It was a man dressed in a magnificent black robe. He had long white hair and beautiful purple eyes. He was tall and had an extremely strong aura. He appeared silently like a ghost.
"Brother..."
Gu Yan turned around and smiled slightly, a smile more mesmerizing than the stars and the moon in the sky.
Dugu Xun looked at the young man who haunted his dreams. More than three thousand years had passed. He had changed yet remained the same. His temperament was still as clean and holy as before, but it seemed as if something had been added to it. His appearance had not changed, but he looked even more handsome than before. His strength had undoubtedly reached a level that Dugu Xun could not fathom at all.
"Zirong..."
Dugu Xun had a lot to say, but in the end he only called out this name.
"Zirong, it's been a long time," Dugu Xun said.
"It really has been a long time," Gu Yan said with a smile.
Dugu Xun approached and looked at Gu Yan: "All these years, I've been looking for you, afraid that something had happened to you. Luckily, you're alright."
Gu Yan had anticipated that if Dugu Xun heard about her return, he would definitely come looking for her. The fact that she's only coming now is probably because of Dugu Meng.
"Brother, have you met Senior Dugu Meng yet?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.
Dugu Xun nodded, his expression changing slightly.
"Senior Dugu Meng, what's wrong?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.
Dugu Xun wore an expression that was hard to describe. The ancestor of all ancestors, the ancestor whom even the founding emperor of the Tianyin Empire had never met, suddenly appeared in front of them. He didn't say anything, but first beat them all up, and then criticized and disliked them in every way.
You can say he's just picking on his grandfather and the others, why is he picking on him too?
He had cultivated to the peak of the late-stage Spirit Emperor realm for over four thousand years, yet he was still called a "waste," which made the eldest brother indignant.
However, Dugu Xun couldn't refute it, because Dugu Meng compared him to Gu Yan.
"I heard you and that little brat Gu Yan are sworn brothers. How come you only have this much strength? He's already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and you're not even a god. How dare you be his older brother?"
"Qing Xuanzi can take on such a powerful disciple at will, so why are all my descendants useless? Big useless, little useless, tiny useless, they're all useless."
The above are Dugu Meng's original words.
In reality, Dugu Meng was really just nitpicking. He clearly knew that Gu Yan possessed the Chaotic Overlord Physique, something no one else could compare to. He also knew that Dugu Xun was a top-tier genius across all the realms, but he still felt unbalanced. Why did Qing Xuanzi get such a beautiful and talented disciple like Gu Yan?
So he deliberately made things difficult for his descendants, taking his anger out on them.
