Seeing that they were about to be discovered, everyone’s heart sank to the bottom.
They had finally managed to get in, yet at this mont, all their efforts could end in failure, and escaping might not even be easy. No one would feel good about it.
At this mont, a huge figure suddenly leaped from afar, landing lightly in front of Ye Haochuan and the others.
"Oh no, we’ve been discovered!" The three of them were imdiately alard, looking vigilantly at the newcor, ready to attack at any mont.
"Wait, it’s that Di Ting Beast!" Ye Haochuan stopped Fan Qingyin and Yige from attacking, curious as he spoke to the Di Ting Beast, "You’re here to save us, right?"
"Oh? Why couldn’t I be here to capture you?" the Di Ting Beast spoke in human language.
This Di Ting Beast had reached the Core Formation Peak in cultivation, so being able to speak was not a strange thing. Ye Haochuan even found it odd that the Di Ting Beast hadn’t transford into a human form.
"If you were really here to capture us, you wouldn’t have co alone!" Ye Haochuan laughed.
Among the three of them, Yige was at the Nascent Soul Stage, and Fan Qingyin and he were both at Core Formation Peak. If the three tead up, the Di Ting Beast probably wouldn’t last a single round.
Given the Di Ting Beast’s perception, it was impossible for it not to sense this. If it knew it would be defeated and still ca to et its doom, that would be stupid.
"Simple-minded demon beasts might act like that, but the Di Ting Beast, as an ancient beast, wouldn’t be so brainless! Right?" Ye Haochuan laughed again.
"You’re indeed quite smart!" The Di Ting Beast grinned with a wide mouth, "Moreover, I honestly didn’t expect your growth to be this fast."
"Oh? You know ?" Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
"If I didn’t know you, why would I bother helping you hide outside?" the Di Ting Beast replied irritably, "Now that we’re on par in terms of cultivation, you can’t claim I’m bullying you. Our bet, it seems, will soon be settled!"
"A bet? When did I ever make a bet with a demon beast..." Ye Haochuan muttered, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly rembered sothing.
He looked the Di Ting Beast up and down, speaking in an incredulous tone: "You’re Di Yan? You’re actually a demon beast?"
"Is that strange?" The Di Ting Beast snorted, curling its lip.
"I an, what are you doing here?" Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"I was, of course, brought in... by soone!" Di Yan replied sowhat awkwardly.
"Brought in? Haha, you an captured, right?" Ye Haochuan chuckled.
Di Yan’s face stiffened slightly, not explaining further, which was as good as an admission.
Ye Haochuan laughed heartily. This guy once acted so high and mighty in front of him, and now he had fallen so low that he ended up as soone’s mount.
"Hey, since you’re a demon beast, why are you competing with for Keyue? Why not just find a female beast and pass on your legacy?"
"Are only humans allowed to fall in love? Can’t we chase after beautiful girls too?"
Di Yan replied irritably, "Besides, when I transform into human form, how do I differ from your Human Clan? I already knew her. When I said it was fate, I ant it was fate with her. Why should I give that to you?"
"Fate? Is this not another Xu Xian and White Snake storyline? Where she saved you in a past life or sothing..." Ye Haochuan muttered.
"It’s not that lodramatic. We got acquainted through a fight, okay?"
Di Yan seed to sink into a mory, softly speaking, "Back then, I was a naive and ignorant handso demon beast, frolicking daily in Thunderstorm Valley. Just then, she appeared, so beautiful, like a little fairy..."
"Wait? Thunderstorm Valley? Isn’t that where I went looking for a necklace?" Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Back then, Long Keyue said her necklace was lost there and asked Ye Haochuan to help find it, even lending him the Golden Bell Shield for it.
"I rember now, Long Keyue said it was there where she had a fierce battle with a demon beast, which led to the loss of her necklace. That demon beast she was talking about, was it you?"
"Of course, it was . Who else could have such a fateful encounter with her?" Di Yan smiled happily.
Oh my gosh, can you stop being so cheesy? Can you talk normally?
Ye Haochuan cursed inwardly.
"I think you’re overanalyzing things. Your presence was arranged to create an opportunity for and her. Do you really think of yourself as the protagonist?" Ye Haochuan muttered.
"In the fate between and her, naturally, I’m the protagonist!" Di Yan said arrogantly.
"Alright then, whoever the protagonist is, let’s settle it with a fight, okay?"
Ye Haochuan didn’t want to waste ti arguing with a demon beast, so he said directly, "They’re about to sweep through here, you better take us to a safe place to hide."
"Why should I help you?" Di Yan squinted at Ye Haochuan.
Ye Haochuan beca angry at those words and said, "Why’d you co here if not to save us? To ss with us for fun?"
"I’m here to cooperate with you, not to be your free labor!"
"Damn, you’re not trying to exploit us in this ss, are you?" Ye Haochuan asked guardedly, "Don’t think that just because you save once, I’ll give up on Keyue. Even if I die here, that’s impossible!"
"What are you thinking? Keyue is too noble to be used as a bargaining chip," Di Yan said irritably, "I want to escape with you, and after we get out, we’ll settle the matter regarding Keyue."
"Escape? True, being a mount is a career with no future!" Ye Haochuan chuckled, "But, why should I help you?"
Fan Qingyin couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Seeing Ye Haochuan like this, it was clear his old habit had returned, trying to get so good stuff.
"You’re so ungrateful. Back in the Sub-Thunder Elent Dinsion Realm, if it weren’t for , you would have been killed by that tiger, got it? Now I’m asking you to save ... no, I an, to cooperate. If you don’t cooperate, you’re waiting to be captured and interrogated!" Di Yan replied irritably.
"Uh..." Ye Haochuan, thinking only of extorting sothing from Di Yan, had indeed forgotten about the current situation.
"Wait, did you say it was you who stopped the Golden Tiger from killing us back then?" Ye Haochuan was suddenly drawn in by the first half of the sentence.
The first ti they intruded into the Golden Tiger’s territory, the tiger had murderous intent towards them, but at a critical mont, they suddenly heard a roar, prompting the Golden Tiger to flee.
Ye Haochuan had always been curious as to why the Golden Tiger underwent such a sudden change of heart. Now he’s realized that it was thanks to Di Yan.
"Who else? Did you think a few small fry like you would keep the beasts in the Sub-Thunder Elent Dinsion Realm from attacking?" Di Yan said again, irritably.
Ye Haochuan was stunned to hear this. He truly hadn’t realized there was such a "fateful bond" between himself and Di Yan. It seed that if he didn’t help this ti, he’d be heartless indeed!
"Since that’s the case, this collaboration is sothing I reluctantly agree to!"
