Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

The little beast smiled endearingly, its head tilted slightly as if to greet Ling Fei. The adorable sight was enough to lift anyone's spirits.

Seeing the little beast's charming smile, Ling Fei's mood lightened considerably.

He smiled in understanding, casting aside all his worries.

"Ya!" As if it had heard Ling Fei's unspoken praise, the little snow-white beast gave a soft cry. Its long eyelashes fluttered, its cheeks blushing as it took on a bashful expression.

The sight filled Ling Fei with affection. 'I've never seen a creature so brimming with spiritual energy!'

WHOOSH!

The snow-white beast sensed the shift in Ling Fei's emotions. With a bashful smile, the little one flashed out of the Dragon Bone Space.

Then, it landed on Ling Fei's shoulder.

"Yiya!" The little guy nuzzled Ling Fei's neck with its fluffy little head.

Its gesture seemed to say, 'I like you a lot, too.'

"Heh." Seeing this, Ling Fei grew even more fond of the little beast. He reached out and gently stroked its little head.

His palm met soft, silky fur, a touch that felt incredibly pleasant.

Originally, the little one's body had been wreathed in Five-Colored Light Patterns, making it look like an auspicious beast.

But after the previous battle, it had consumed too much of its Power of Origin. The Five-Colored Divine Patterns had vanished, as if its very source had been depleted.

Although it had lost some of its sacred aura, its pure white, fluffy, snowball-like appearance was all the more lovable.

"Yiya!" The little beast was very docile. It stilled as Ling Fei stroked its head, letting out a soft cry before giving another endearing smile. It looked up at Ling Fei with an expression so cute it could melt one's heart. Ling Fei felt a stir in his own heart, and the thought of keeping the creature with him began to form.

"Little guy, what's your name?" Ling Fei asked.

"Yiya, yiya!" The little guy's eyes showed confusion. It gestured with its small paws, then looked up at Ling Fei, seeming not to know what a name was.

'No name?' Ling Fei realized.

The Evil Demon in the coffin had mentioned that the Five-Colored Crystal Stone was originally a World Origin Stone that it was using to restore its own Essence Qi.

But unexpectedly, it had instead nurtured this little beast.

So, this snow-white little beast probably didn't have a name yet.

'Then what should I call you?' Ling Fei mused.

"Yiya!" The little beast cried out, then stared at Ling Fei with a face full of anticipation, clearly looking forward to having a name of its own.

"Yiya?" Suddenly, an idea struck Ling Fei. He smiled and said, "Since all you can say is 'yiya,' how about I call you Yiyi?"

"Ya, yiya!" Hearing this, the snow-white little beast was stunned for a moment before its small eyes narrowed and it began to chirp happily.

It looked very pleased with the name.

"Alright, from now on, I'll call you Yiyi. Will you come with me?" Ling Fei asked.

"Ya, yiya!" The little guy nodded, then nuzzled Ling Fei's neck with its head in a gesture of goodwill.

Clearly, it wanted to be with Ling Fei, too.

Because of the Dragon Bone, the snow-white little beast had felt a special closeness to Ling Fei from the very beginning.

Furthermore, Ling Fei was the first person it had communicated with after being born.

It was inevitable that an inexplicable sense of intimacy would develop.

Seeing this, Ling Fei couldn't help but gently stroke the little beast's head and smile knowingly.

Although he had only known this little beast for a short time, they had faced a great enemy together, a trial of life and death. An intangible bond had already formed between them.

Besides, the little beast was so cute that even though Ling Fei was a guy, he found it absolutely adorable.

Then, Ling Fei's gaze shifted, his eyes falling on the Ancient Coffin suspended by iron chains up ahead.

The previous battle here had been heaven-shaking, but the Power of both the Ancient Beast and Yiyi had been controlled and confined to a specific area, not allowed to erupt completely.

Thus, the nine pillars were intact, and the Ancient Coffin still hung suspended on the iron chains.

"Ya, yiya!" Seeing Ling Fei's gaze fall upon the coffin, the snow-white little beast hurriedly waved its paws, signaling for Ling Fei not to advance.

Ling Fei froze for a moment before understanding dawned in his eyes.

'Although the Evil Demon's remnant soul is sealed, its body is still inside the Ancient Coffin. I'm afraid its body also contains supreme might,' Ling Fei murmured to himself. 'If I open the Ancient Coffin, the Corpse Qi alone would be enough to annihilate me, and Yiyi's strength is not what it used to be.'

'Under these circumstances, rashly opening the Ancient Coffin would be courting death.'

After all, Ling Fei had only succeeded before because Yiyi had exhausted its Power of Origin to activate the Dao Patterns within the Dragon Bone Pen.

Now, without this vast Power of Origin, how could he activate the Dragon Bone Pen?

"Ya!" After hearing Ling Fei's murmurs, the snow-white little beast nodded solemnly.

"Alright, we'll leave the Ancient Coffin alone," Ling Fei nodded, deciding not to take the risk.

Perhaps Yiyi had enough Power of Origin left for one more strike.

But the price might be its demise, and Ling Fei naturally didn't want that.

After all, he had only survived this time because the snow-white little beast had intervened.

"Yiya!" At this, the snow-white little beast's eyes narrowed into a cute smile.

"Then let's leave this place!" Ling Fei said.

"Ya!" The snow-white little beast nodded, then glanced toward the ceiling of the cave.

The Array Pattern there was still active, connecting to the outside.

The rainbow light that had shot into the sky earlier came from here, an act of the little beast.

It had discovered the anomaly with the Ancient Coffin long ago. That's why it created the strange phenomenon—to lure someone here to investigate and help it kill the Evil Demon in the coffin.

However, an ordinary person coming here would have been courting death.

That's why it set a Realm restriction; anyone who could break through the seal to reach this place would naturally be very strong.

Furthermore, with the restriction of the Seal, it could make this place seem extraordinary and attract truly powerful experts.

Of course, Elder Ling was the first to discover this place, but he gave the little beast a sense of danger, so it had rejected him.

After all, it had just been born. Like a child suddenly encountering a powerful expert bearing down on it, it would naturally feel fear.

Ya!

Yiyi let out a soft cry, and a Light Pattern swept out from its little paws. This Light Pattern enveloped Ling Fei and carried him toward the Array Pattern, where they vanished.

Then, Ling Fei felt his body pass through space and appear outside the hill.

'I'm outside.' Ling Fei's heart stirred as he felt the fresh air.

This expedition into the Ancient Tomb left him sighing with emotion.

Four people had entered together, each with their own agenda, hoping to obtain a Supreme Treasure. In the end, they encountered an Evil Demon of unimaginable power. Wang Zhongtian and Liu Rulong had died instantly. Shangguan Wan'Er was unconscious and still inside the Dragon Bone Pen. Even Ling Fei himself had only managed to escape unscathed thanks to the little snow-white beast and the Dragon Bone Pen.

Shangguan Wan'Er had survived thanks to Ling Fei and the little beast, but he had not woken her up yet.

The appearance of Yiyi and the Dragon Bone Pen involved too many secrets he didn't want anyone else to know.

'It has been ten days since I jumped off the cliff,' Ling Fei thought, his face grim. 'Those people must think I'm dead and are probably rushing to report it. That's enough time for them to reach the edge of the ancient ruins. The people outside will soon know about Wang Dongyang's death. At that time, I will face pursuit from Primordial Pill Realm experts.'

'So, I must Escape this place immediately.'

At this moment, Ling Fei could no longer afford any entanglement with those people.

Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to predict.

'But I can't fly. I have no way to directly escape the notice of the experts from the Three Great Academies,' Ling Fei's brow furrowed tightly.

Flying…

This was a skill only Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators possessed.

If one's Soul Power was strong and their Essence Qi was abundant, they could also achieve Flying with a Spiritual Artifact.

"Ya!" The snow-white little beast seemed to sense Ling Fei's worries. It let out a soft cry and looked up at Ling Fei with an adorable expression.

It seemed to be indicating that it could solve this problem.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Ling Fei's heart filled with joy.

YA!

The snow-white little beast let out a soft cry and then disappeared into the Dragon Bone Space.

Immediately, some of the Essence Qi in its body flowed into the Dragon Bone.

The next moment, Ling Fei injected his Soul Power into the Dragon Bone to coordinate with it.

BUZZ!

The Dragon Bone Light Pattern flashed, transformed into a long rainbow, and flew into the Void, disappearing into the Qi Vortex that connected to the world outside the ancient ruins.
