Chapter 1004: The Trembling Holy Beast (4)

Of course, Gu Ruoyun was not aware of his thoughts at all.
The reason why she had saved Uncle Ying was entirely due to the fact that he never did anything to harm her although he had been suspicious of her from the very beginning.
However, the actual reason why Gu Ruoyun helped was because she had been observing the situation of the rest of the mercenaries. Hence, she managed to pick up on the embarrassed look on Uncle Ying's face! Seeing that he was already aware of his mistake, there was nothing wrong with saving him this time.
If he did not feel any embarrassment, perhaps Gu Ruoyun would merely fold her arms and watch from the sides.
Perhaps Uncle Ying was not aware that it was the humiliation on his face that had saved his life!
Hong!
Just as the battle had slowly become easier due to Gu Ruoyun, a growl was heard further ahead in the forest. At the same time, a powerful force pierced through the skies. With a loud whoosh, it turned into numerous rays of white light and spread out everywhere.
At that moment, the spiritual beasts, which had been locked in a fierce battle, stopped whatever they were doing and collapsed to the ground and knelt to the ground, worshiping toward the direction of the source of power. Their eyes filled with piousness and reverence.
Hundreds of beasts making a pilgrimage!
That is also to say, that spiritual beast had successfully broken through to the state of a holy beast!
With that knowledge in mind, every face of the World Destruction Mercenaries turned into an ugly shade. They never thought that this spiritual beast would have achieved its breakthrough so quickly!
A holy beast?
Even a hundred high-level Martial Supreme would not possibly be able to defeat a holy beast!
What more if it came down to them?
"Finished, we're most definitely finished this time!"
"Run, perhaps we can still get away. Even dying of hunger in Nemesis Forest is a better option, I don't want to die by the teeth and claws of a holy beast."
"Prior to this, we still had some hope of escaping this place. However, once this beast king has had its breakthrough, we would be goners for sure!"
The crowd glanced at each other, then ran in the direction behind them instantly.
Do battle with a holy beast? That's just an act of digging your own grave! They would not be so foolish as to strike a stone with an egg!
However, just as they turned around to try and escape, they heard footsteps coming from inside of the forest. The footsteps were like stones weighing a thousand catty, slamming onto the ground, causing the entire ground to shake.
At that moment, the crowd who had initially planned on running away came to an abrupt realization. They felt as if the feeling in their legs had completely disappeared, they did not even have the strength to move their legs, and could only stare in shock at the trembling forest.
"Hahaha!"
A wave of a laughter that was rather smug and egotistical filled the air, coming from the direction of the sound of the footsteps. It echoed throughout the entire forest, causing everything to shake, a terrifying sight indeed.
"Which little bastard is digging his own grave, setting foot into your grandfather holy beast's land, and even has the audacity to cause harm onto grandfather holy beast's slaves! As the saying goes, pay regard to the status of its master before beating a dog. You've harmed my servants, hence, you shall pay for it with your lives."
The smug voiced created a look of absolute terror on everyone's face. They trembled as they stared at the middle-aged man who stepped out from the deep end of the forest.
The man was rather chubby, as if he were filled with a ton of fat meat. He wore a torn and tattered sackcloth, simply draped over his body, looking poor and haggard like a beggar. However, if you underestimated him based on his exterior, you would be sorely mistaken.
The man emitted an extremely sharp aura from within. You only needed to look at him once, and you would be filled with complete dread.
If all guess were right, the middle-aged man before them, who had addressed himself as grandfather holy beast was the Beast King himself!
"Oh, there are actually two little ladies, they're quite pretty! Haha, it seems that things will not be so boring from now on!" The middle-aged man burst into laughter a few times. His voice slammed into the whole of Nemesis Forest like a bolt of lightning, "Servants, leave the women. Kill all the men!"
Just as he gave the order, his eyes stopped at Gu Ruoyun. He looked shocked. Then, a sense of astonishment appeared in his gaze. He then asked, seeking confirmation, "You... Is your name Gu Ruoyun?"

Just as the holy beast spoke, forget everyone else, even Gu Ruoyun herself was in shock.
"You know me?"
She was a little astonished. Has my name gotten so famous, that even spiritual beasts are aware of my existence?
Her answer had undoubtedly meant that she admitted to her identity.
The Beast King's initial shock had turned into fear. The fat on his body trembled, like a ball shivering from the cold. It was as if Gu Ruoyun were some horrifying monster to him.
The crowd was dumbstruck. What on earth is going on? When did the Beast King, who had acted with such majesty just a while ago, become so cowardly all of a sudden?
Furthermore, all of this, was because of this woman?
"This... This..."
Everyone watched as the Beast King finally steadied the fear welling up from within his heart. However, his body remained trembling against the gentle breeze. His fat-filled face broke into a flattering smile as he asked flatteringly, "A misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding! I'm a good person. Ah, that's not right... I'm a sincere, kind-hearted, and good spiritual beast. I have the friendliest relationship with humans. I was only joking with you a while ago. Hehe, you can all leave now!"
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at his surviving subordinates next to him, and growled angrily, "Are you not aware that we spiritual beasts are friends with humans? Who allowed you to harm our guests, who have come from afar? All of you, get out of my sight and receive punishment. Damn it, taking advantage of my breakthrough and attacking humans. Are you all f*cking tired of living?"
Sensing the fiery anger from within the Beast King, the spiritual beasts were so frightened that they threw themselves onto the ground and lay trembling on their stomachs, chirping pitifully.
The Beast King felt a little better at the sight of the spiritual beasts' trembling bodies! Whose fault is it that he himself had been scared witless as well? However, he never expected Gu Ruoyun to make an appearance here...
If that person were to find out that I had delusional thoughts of forcibly containing his woman, the whole of Nemesis Forest might cease to exist.
Gu Ruoyun mildly squinted her eyes and took one step towards the Beast King. A peculiar light flashed in her eyes, "You recognize me?"
"This..." The Beast King dug out a handkerchief out of nowhere, wiped the cold sweat off his brow. Then wiped it across his head as if he were rowing a boat against the waves, "Nope, definitely not!"
That Lord did not wish for Gu Ruoyun to find out about the instructions he had once left me with, so we mustn't tell her anything at all. Otherwise, if we end up provoking him, we would truly be done for!
"You really don't recognize me?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow, She could guarantee with a hundred percent confidence, that this Beast King recognized me!
"Really, even more real than pearls!" The Beast King nodded as if he were pounding garlic with his chin, his face filled with flattery as he spoke, "Do not judge me simply because I guard Nemesis Forest from day to night. I am also very well informed on the news in the secular world. I've merely heard of your name, oh great Gu Ruoyun, so I deeply admire you as well. I really didn't mean to offend you. I ask that you forgive me, my lord."
The Beast King sniveled as he spoke and his eyes filled with tears. He nearly threw himself, kneeling on the ground to beg her.
Gu Ruoyun smiled. "If you don't wish to tell me, I won't force you, but I'll find out sooner or later. I have some business to attend to at the moment, so I won't stay here. Yu'er, let's go."
Xia Linyu nodded, glanced at the Beast King, who was sniveling uncontrollably, then turned towards the woman ahead of him.

Spinny
Ah. Poor Beast King. Is it bad that I found his snivelling oddly entertaining? :P

Up to this moment, the World Destruction Mercenaries had yet to return to their senses. They stared, completely tongue-tied, widening their eyes in astonishment.
This... What's going on?
How is the Beast King's attitude so vastly different from how it was before? He was even screaming bloody murder so fiercely a while ago, yet he switched to acting so petty and lowly in an instant? Besides, no one thought that this Beast King would actually recognize Gu Ruoyun, and acted so fearfully towards her?
Where on earth did this woman come from?
Uncle Ying's gaze was a mess of complication. He really never expected that the woman whom he had suspected would be the one who ultimately helped the World Destruction Mercenaries to escape this place...
"Servants, escort Lord Gu Ruoyun and the rest on their way out of Nemesis Forest."
The Beast King finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Gu Ruoyun would force him into telling her the truth. At the same time, he had made preparations to die before submitting to her wishes! In the end, she let him off just like that.
Hence, his eyes were filled with gratitude, aside from fear.
Actually, what he did not know was that Gu Ruoyun already had an answer in her heart. That was the reason why she did not force him to provide her with an answer.
Aside from that man, who else would silently help her in this way?
Even if he were not by her side, he would still be concerned over her safety.
To have him keep her company in this lifetime, what more could she ask for?
"Let's go."
Ye Ying returned to his senses, saw Gu Ruoyun and Xia Linyu who were now at a far-off distance, and quickly chased after them as well.
Standing behind them, the spiritual beast that had previously besieged them, were now like docile little cats following behind, escorting them out of Nemesis Forest.
"Lord Gu Ruoyun, have a pleasant journey. If you have the time, do not forget to come back to my Nemesis Forest as a guest. The spiritual beasts of Nemesis Forest are very friendly and have always had a very good relationship with humans. When that time comes, I'll raise the banners to welcome your arrival."
The Beast King remained standing in the same spot, waving his pink handkerchief, looking completely broken-hearted at her departure as if he were extremely reluctant for them to leave.
Pu tong!
The mercenaries nearly fell somersaulting onto the ground when they heard the Beast King's words.
Friendly?
We certainly haven't seen the aspect of friendliness in these spiritual beasts! Let's not forget, that a while ago, all of these spiritual beasts wanted to fiercely rip us to shreds! If it were not for Gu Ruoyun, we might all actually be dead by now!
Also, this guy, actually carries a pink handkerchief around with him?
Can you imagine a scene, with a hundred and fifty kilogram fatty, waving a pink handkerchief? Every time it crossed their minds, they would feel an urge to puke!
"F*ck. The humans have finally left!"
Once every shadow had disappeared from sight, the Beast King could not help but hit himself on the chest in an attempt to steady his terrified heart.
"I hope they never come again! Otherwise, with Nemesis Forest being so vast, I'm not the only Beast King around here! What if some blind little bastard ends up killing Lord Gu Ruoyun? By then, all the spiritual beasts of Nemesis Forest would not be enough for that person's melting pot."
The Beast King could not help but shiver at the thought. Then, he decided to have his little brothers carry a portrait of Gu Ruoyun, in order to avoid offending her!
In the outskirts of Nemesis Forest.
Ye Ying paused in his steps, then joined his fists and bowed towards the spiritual beasts that had escorted them. "Thank you very much for escorting us over the past few days." He exclaimed with gratitude. "Now, we've reached the outskirts of Nemesis Forest and will be able to leave this place very soon so you can leave us here now. Please return to your homes."
