Chapter 1018: Xiao Jin’s Metamorphosis

Ye Cang was speechless.

Because of Long Miaoyin's sudden appearance just now,

combined with Gu Yuefan's intense, fixed stare…

Ye Cang had completely forgotten to notify them of the time the Secret Realm would open.

"Sigh… fine, I'll just notify them later."

Ye Cang muttered to himself. Call everyone back now?

That definitely wouldn't do.

He was the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace; he had to maintain his dignity.

Even if he forgot to notify them,

he would just act as if he hadn't intended to notify them yet.

In any case, as long as he didn't say anything, no one would know.

"Damn it… not a single person with 'Fan' in their name is any good!"

Ye Cang was quite livid.

He now utterly loathed people with the character 'Fan' in their names.

Not only that, he also detested those with the surname Long.

And those with 'An' or 'Hai' in their names…

If he could, Ye Cang truly wanted to skin Long Anhai alive!

That bastard!!!

…

…

Regarding Ye Cang's mistake of forgetting to announce the Secret Realm's opening time,

quite a few people had naturally realized it.

They were indeed curious why the Palace Master hadn't told them when the Secret Realm would open.

However, they also felt it was only natural.

Whatever the Palace Master did was right.

It didn't even cross their minds that the Palace Master could make a mistake or forget such things…

On the way back,

City Lord Chen Xiong thought for a moment and said to Xiao Fan, "Gu Yuefan… in the future… when you go out, keep your head down and don't look around… be a bit more low-key, alright?"

City Lord Chen Xiong was truly speechless.

He had nearly been scared witless by Xiao Fan's actions just now.

The people nearby…

all nodded in tacit agreement.

They strongly agreed with what City Lord Chen Xiong said.

It was true…

Xiao Fan's behavior just now had been way too terrifying.

Damn it!!!

Never mind City Lord Chen Xiong being afraid of being implicated; even they were afraid.

If Ye Cang truly became enraged and slapped Xiao Fan to death, what if they were caught in the crossfire?

What would they do then?

Wouldn't that be incredibly unfair?

It wasn't as if such a thing were impossible.

"I… I'll try my best!"

Xiao Fan was speechless. What was wrong with him?

What he did had absolutely nothing to do with them.

Why were they bothering themselves with his business?

He could only laugh it off…

"Try your best…"

Hearing Xiao Fan's response, everyone's faces twitched.

They thought to themselves, 'Try your best'… isn't that the same as saying nothing?

Doesn't it mean you might still do it?

"Sigh…" City Lord Chen Xiong let out a long sigh and stopped paying him any mind.

The group returned to the inn.

A short while later, City Lord Chen Xiong's transmission Jade Slip received a message…

telling him that they would depart together in seven days…

and head to the Millennium Secret Realm.

City Lord Chen Xiong immediately informed everyone of this news.

He told them they would be staying here for seven days.

The group dispersed, each returning to their respective Immortal Caves.

Xiao Fan, in particular, was in an even greater hurry to return to his Immortal Cave.

There was no choice; he still had a Golden-Haired Lion undergoing an ascension in his Immortal Cave.

As soon as he entered the Immortal Cave,

he saw Xiao Jin howling there…

"Awooo… pain… it hurts…"

Xiao Jin's cries were miserable.

When he saw its appearance, Xiao Fan was startled.

At this moment, Xiao Jin was a bloody mess, and the new fur growing on its body was stained blood-red…

"This, this is…"

Xiao Fan was greatly shocked; he hadn't expected Xiao Jin to turn out like this.

It was covered in blood, which was still dripping down…

"It hurts, it hurts…" Xiao Jin wailed, as every piece of its flesh and blood was undergoing a startling metamorphosis.

Xiao Fan moved closer to check the Golden-Haired Lion's condition.

He found that the vitality radiating from its body was becoming even more vigorous.

Its spiritual energy was becoming more abundant…

Furthermore, the flesh and skin that Xiao Jin had just grown were even sturdier.

"Before, it used its fur for defense… now even its skin has become tougher?"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

The bodies of Yao Beasts were naturally stronger than those of the Human Race.

And the characteristics of each type of Yao Beast were vastly different.

Take Xiao Jin, for example…

Its previous fur was very sturdy, possessing super-strong defensive power that could block most attacks.

But now…

Xiao Fan felt that the new skin Xiao Jin had developed through metamorphosis was not much weaker than its fur.

"Endure it… once you get through this, you'll become even stronger," Xiao Fan encouraged.

"It hurts… Master… Big Brother…"

Xiao Jin cried out repeatedly, its face covered in tears.

To say it wasn't painful would be an absolute lie!

"Fine… as your master, I'll act as your Protector for now!"

Xiao Fan said, feeling that he should fulfill some of his responsibilities.

He simply stayed by its side to protect its safety and prevent it from being disturbed.

"Awooo…"

However, under Xiao Jin's various miserable cries, Xiao Fan eventually found it irritating and unbearable…

In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Fan who was annoyed.

Even the Enlightenment Seed, Wanxiang, and even the artifact spirit of Heavens Punishment and Earths Destruction thought Xiao Jin was damn annoying!!!

"Xiao Jin… finish your Breakthrough on your own, I'm going out for a bit."

"Mas… Master…"

Then, without looking back, he strode away…
