Chapter 29 The Mischievous Kid
After that, Li Muyang got on the horse smoothly and there were no further difficulties caused by Brother Ma.
Seeing how quickly Li Muyang adapted, Feng Ling'er felt even more bored. "Brother Ma! Why didn't you throw him?"
Back then, when Shen Feiyan taught her to ride a horse, she was thrown off countless times by that old horse! Why was it so easy for Li Muyang on his first try?
"How strange, is this really Young Master Li's first time riding a horse?" This surprised a nomadic brother standing nearby. This horse belonged to his family, and he knew its temperament all too well. If it were a complete novice rider, how could it get used to riding so easily?
Seeing how obedient Brother Ma was, the ethnic minority brother was also frustrated. He had been feeding this guy for so many years, serving him good food and drink every day, but Brother Ma's attitude towards him was not as good as his attitude towards Li Muyang. Sometimes he couldn't even tell the difference between the two!
"Haha, maybe I just have a natural affinity for animals?" Li Muyang smiled smugly, scratching his head and saying "modestly."
Okay, Li Muyang cheated secretly. Before mounting the horse, he channeled some spiritual energy into the horse's body. Unexpectedly, the horse, which was originally a bit unruly, suddenly became docile.
Hey bro! Mount up! Brother Ma will take you galloping!
After bidding farewell to the group from Tianya Haige, Li Muyang, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er set sail again and returned to the Cui residence.
Along the way, Li Muyang experienced the thrill of horseback riding! Although it was far less smooth and comfortable than riding a white horse, the feeling of galloping at high speed had its own unique charm!
really not bad!
Ma Ge had a blast! This new master is a good guy! He must have injected something into Ma Ge right away, because Ma Ge feels better than ever before!
It wasn't some kind of performance-enhancing drug; rather, it was the spiritual energy that Li Muyang injected into Brother Ma's body, actively helping Brother Ma circulate his Qi! Unintentionally, this helped an ordinary horse embark on the path of cultivation!
Developing its intelligence will certainly not be a quick process, but it's enough to transform this originally ordinary horse! It needs plenty of exercise to burn off its energy!
This was tough on Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er's horses. They were panting heavily the whole way, their tongues practically lolling out! Looking at their energetic companions, they were utterly bewildered! "Dude! We only get so much fodder a month! Why are you pushing yourself so hard today?"
Brother Ma (￣^￣): Hmph! What do you vulgar, lazy bums know! A fine horse is common, but a discerning eye is rare! Brother Ma has met a benefactor today! This new master is like a second parent to me! I've chosen him!
If you do not abandon me, I, Ma, am willing to become your godfather!
Ahem! The above is purely speculation!
They arrived at the Cui residence at an even faster speed, and what they saw shocked the three of them!
Beside the Cui residence, a large fan-shaped ruin appeared! In the distance, a huge hole was blasted into the high mountain!
"What happened?" Li Muyang asked Cui Xilai and his group, who came to greet him, in shock. "Are you all alright?"
"We're fine..." Master Cui smiled wryly at Nan Ying, who was holding Xiao Bai. Beside her was a girl who looked very much like her, Nan Sheng, the leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, who was also her daughter.
“Young Master, this is what happened.” Nan Ying pondered for a long time, then smiled and explained, “Just as you predicted before you left, the people from the Netherworld did indeed come to the Cui residence to cause trouble. There were three of them. Master Cui and Steward Mo had already defeated two of them, but then they consumed the Crimson Sun Blood Essence…”
"I had to step in to barely keep the battle going, but fortunately Nan Sheng arrived in time to help..."
"Get to the point, what exactly is going on here?" Li Muyang interrupted, pointing to the ruins beside him.
Nan Ying timidly touched Xiao Bai, lowered her head, and explained somewhat guiltily, "Uh... because I wasted some time fighting with them, I just missed the time you instructed me to feed Xiao Bai, so..."
At this point, Li Muyang understood. With a dark face, he grabbed Xiaobai, who was still sleeping in, by the back of the neck.
Little White Fox, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened. A human-like displeasure appeared on the little fox's face. What kind of demon dared to disturb Little White Fox's sleep? Who has grabbed my fate by the scruff of my neck! How dare you! Watch as the Great Fox Immortal subdues you!
Turning my head... uh... brother~ when did you get back~ my voice suddenly became soft and tingling.
"When did you learn to destroy things?" Ignoring Xiaobai's cute antics, Li Muyang pointed incredulously at the ruins and asked, "You learn bad things pretty quickly, but you don't learn good ones?"
Xiaobai (T_T): Waaaaah~
Actually, she felt guilty as soon as she finished dismantling it. The area was so large, Li Muyang would definitely be angry when he came back, the commotion was too big!
Especially those three bad guys who disturbed the Fox Immortal's meal!
No trace of their remains! Reduced to ashes!
It's possible to control the power.
Are you kidding me? A cricket who reached the Grandmaster level through Red Sun Blood Essence, could it withstand a strengthened version of the Immortal Technique Tailed Beast Ball head-on? Little White cultivates primordial spiritual power! It's comparable to natural energy! Its destructive power is only stronger, not weaker!
The only difference might be that the total amount of power accumulated in Xiaobai's body is still not as much as that of Kurama, right?
Little White very obediently covered its eyes with its front paws, not daring to look directly at Li Muyang's face; it was scared.
Seeing this, Li Muyang's imposing manner immediately softened, and he sighed helplessly, "Sigh... I've spoiled you too much! You've been so reckless! Destroying the house is a minor issue; I wonder if any innocent bystanders have been hurt..."
"Ahem, Young Master Li, rest assured, there really is no such thing." Master Cui coughed lightly and said, "The houses next door are all empty, and the servants in the houses were all dismissed after we received the token from Youming. Apart from the three assassins sent by Youming, Little White Fox Fairy did not accidentally harm anyone."
Seeing that Xiaobai hadn't harmed any innocent civilians, Li Muyang didn't say anything more, only stating that he would compensate for the damage caused by Xiaobai, and that Mr. Cui didn't need to be polite about the amount!
This isn't about money. To ensure this little guy doesn't destroy his own home, Li Muyang must educate him properly from a young age! Destruction is often much easier than protection! Xiao Bai's mind is still like a child's; he doesn't have a clear concept of destruction versus protection. If he accidentally hurts his own people because of this, Li Muyang will likely regret it deeply!
Despite bearing the title of a Tailed Beast, Li Muyang and Shennong Beast both knew perfectly well that this thing was definitely not just a Tailed Beast! Its talent and destructive power were too strong! Without restraint, it was indeed extremely deadly! Possessing great power was not difficult; the difficulty lay in controlling and using it properly!
You can't gain power just to cause destruction, can you? That would easily turn you into a demon!
As parents, we naturally have to discipline our unruly children! Li Muyang is not an irresponsible person! He must compensate for the damage to other people's property!
Having understood Li Muyang's meaning, Master Cui also sighed that Young Master Li was good at educating his son... well, never mind, it's about the same. Raising spirit beasts and raising children are no different; both require guiding them in the right direction.
Li Muyang definitely didn't want to raise a Nine-Tailed Fox! Its arrogance had already faded! Just thinking about the little white dog constantly spouting "I'm the boss!" sent chills down his spine! He didn't want to raise a reckless and audacious destroyer!
This time, Li Muyang was careless again! Xiaobai is usually too well-behaved in front of him, and he overlooks Xiaobai's behavior in front of others, especially Nan Ying, who can't bear to scold Xiaobai at all. This little guy is already a master at playing the victim! His cute appearance often makes others forget that this little thing has earth-shattering power!
However, this time! Li Muyang's performance made Xiaobai realize that some mistakes must never be made! His brother will really get angry! He can't easily kill anyone other than an enemy!
After giving this little white fox a good talking-to, Li Muyang didn't actually punish her. Her mind was indeed too immature, and punishing her too early would be detrimental to her growth. As long as she realized her mistake, she could correct it in the future! The consequences should now be borne by him, the parent!
Watching Li Muyang take out his money, even though Xiaobai knew her brother didn't care about the glittering stone, she still understood that Li Muyang was paying for her actions! Xiaobai naturally felt guilty; she had caused trouble!
She wasn't afraid of anything, except disappointing Li Muyang!
Seeing Xiaobai's disappointed look, Li Muyang knew that was enough. Continuing to criticize her would easily cause Xiaobai's personality to become more introverted. So, he changed his previous indifference and gently comforted and encouraged her, saying, "Don't cause trouble like that anymore! That's not right!"
Xiaobai (〃'▽'〃): Okay~
After successfully dealing with the novice in education, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. Their initial shock at the novice's destructive power subsided considerably, and they quickly returned to their usual selves.
After dinner, the cult leader, Nan Sheng, pulled Li Muyang aside into the shadows.
"Thank you, Young Master Li, for waking my mother... Never mind, I won't waste any more words. Young Master Li, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know! I, Nan Sheng, will never waste a word!" Nan Sheng's expression was serious yet complicated: "...Even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming if I can see my mother again. How can the dead be brought back to life?"
"...At first I thought the Pavilion Master had been fooled by some charlatan! Until I saw my mother with my own eyes...hehe!"
Li Muyang wiped away non-existent cold sweat: "...Actually, I used to think so too."
"There's something I don't know if Pavilion Master Liu has told you," Li Muyang asked casually.
Nan Sheng smiled bitterly: "I know, I know... It's okay, I'm already very satisfied to be able to see my mother again! Even if it's only for a while, I just hope that Young Master Li can tell me in advance before he leaves so that I can be mentally prepared."
"Of course... What I mean is, there might still be a chance for things to turn around." Li Muyang solemnly told Nan Sheng about the mission, and reminded her, "...It concerns your mother, so please, Sect Leader Nan Sheng, keep it a secret! Including Sister Nan Ying herself! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
Nan Sheng still looked bewildered and incredulous: "Young Master Li means that as long as the task assigned by your sect is completed, my mother can be truly resurrected?"
Li Muyang nodded firmly, and seeing that Nan Sheng was about to shout out in surprise, he quickly reached out to cover her mouth: "Stop! Calm down! Calm down! Stay calm!"
