Chapter 19

When Ai Xiaohai brought the袋狮 (pouch lion) to his new "friends," the forest wolves were completely terrified.

Although the pouch lion had been drained of its essence, its inherent majesty and aura still left the forest wolves without the courage to flee.

In the presence of the majestic pouch lion, the forest wolves all lay prostrate on the ground, emitting low, deep howls, as if expressing their submission to the king of the forest.

However, when they cautiously raised their heads, they saw an incredible sight:

A human was actually riding on the back of the forest monster!

The forest wolves doubted their eyes. A human, a real human, actually had the audacity to ride on the back of the king of the forest?

Although Xiaosen was afraid, he was still filled with pride, for he saw his master, Ai Xiaohai, slowly dismount from the forest monster.

The master had defeated the arrogant forest monster, the terrifying king that all the animals in the great forest feared!

He proudly glanced at his companions, as if asking them, "Was I wrong? I said the master would definitely win."

Ai Xiaohai stroked the pouch lion's head, and this creature, which made people tremble, rubbed against Ai Xiaohai like a gentle kitten.

The wolf pack was even more stunned. When they looked at Ai Xiaohai again, their eyes were filled with fear and reverence.

This human was the true king of the forest!

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, was an unshakable rule in the world of beasts! The one who is stronger and more powerful will be more revered by the animals!

And Ai Xiaohai had undoubtedly succeeded in this!

At this point, the Dragon Spirit Pearl had already broken through the first level, and Ai Xiaohai possessed the power of the "Spirit Pearl." He helped the forest wolves open the power of mental communication, which, to some extent, also opened part of their intelligence. Although this opening of intelligence was not comparable to Xiaoqi's evolution, it allowed the forest wolves to communicate with different animal species without any problems.

Xiaosen, who had been briefly endowed with intelligence before, was now the smartest in the wolf pack.

The old turtle, Ling, cautiously emerged from the leaves. It was a seasoned veteran and had to ensure there was no danger before coming out. The scene before it made it think of a phrase it had once heard from a box in a human home, and it immediately shouted:

"Long live the king!"

A thread of consciousness spread to all the animals' minds, and immediately, the forest wolves and the pouch lion all lay prostrate on the ground:

"Long live the king!"

King?

Ai Xiaohai touched his nose. Was he the leader of the monsters in "Journey to the West"? But the title "king" sounded much better than "boss" or "master."

Seeing that its words pleased the king, Ling became enthusiastic: "King, this is the west side of the forest. The king can order the forest wolves to tell all the animals to obey the king's commands. The same applies to the east, south, and north sides of the forest. If anyone dares to disobey, the king can order the forest wolves to be the vanguard, and the forest monster... "

It glanced at the pouch lion, not knowing what kind of creature it was, so it still called it "forest monster": "The king can appoint the forest monster as the general to sweep through the entire forest..."

Ai Xiaohai was at a loss, what was this? Vanguard? General? Had Ling watched too much TV?

However, Ling's words made him think for a moment: "The animals in the forest can choose to listen to me or not. But without rules, there is no order. Let's do this: the forest monster... ah, it's a pouch lion. In my absence, it will manage the west side of the forest. I appoint it as... "

Ai Xiaohai racked his brain for a long time and finally adopted Ling's suggestion: "It will be the general here."

"Long live the king! Long live the general!"

The forest wolves howled in a chaotic manner.

"You forest wolves are... forget it, you are all vanguards. Xiaosen, you are the vanguard commander!" Ai Xiaohai pointed at Xiaosen.

Xiaosen howled into the air: "King, rest assured, Xiaosen will definitely help the king manage all the vanguards!"

Seeing that his suggestions were all adopted by the king, Ling was very pleased, its head bobbing up and down, feeling an immense sense of superiority. Looking at the other animals, it seemed to be telling the forest wolves, "See? This is what wisdom is. This is wisdom. Otherwise, why would the king value my opinion so much?"

It was just that it had encountered Ai Xiaohai, who was terrible at naming things. If Ai Xiaohai were to come up with a better name, it would be as difficult as making him defeat another pouch lion.

The pouch lion was also extremely pleased. Although it didn't know what a "general" was, its master was the "king," and it was the general, which sounded only one character different. Below the king, it was the most powerful.

In the past, it was known as the "executioner," and the animals in the forest were afraid of it, but not many forest wolves obeyed it. Now, things were very different. Thinking about this, it felt even more grateful to the "king" and was eager to help the master conquer the entire forest, as the old turtle had suggested.

Ai Xiaohai glanced at Ling. The wolf pack was the vanguard, the pouch lion was the general, and what about the old turtle? What should he appoint it as? A thought came to him: "Ling, I appoint you as the prime minister!"

"Thank you, king! Prime Minister Ling will not let the king down!" Ling was overjoyed, feeling that its status was much different from that of the wolf pack and the pouch lion. This was a position personally appointed by the king.

Prime Minister Ling? Ai Xiaohai almost laughed. What was this, appointing a prime minister in the forest? He remembered that prime ministers were usually in the sea.

The animal world was much more interesting than the human world. He had actually appointed a bunch of generals, vanguards, and a prime minister here. If this were to be known, no one would believe it. Was he making promises and granting titles?

"King, what should we do in our daily lives?" Since Ling was the prime minister, it naturally had to understand the king's intentions.

Ai Xiaohai thought for a moment: "First, manage the forest and help me find any precious herbs or rare species. Second, cultivate yourselves. You are now very different from other animals. With your intelligence opened, you should cultivate well, which will help you live longer and bring many benefits."

The animals all cheered, but Ai Xiaohai felt like he was the Jade Emperor.

After the cheers subsided, he continued: "There is one very important thing. There is an incense burner with the general. Pouch lion, show it to them. Try to help me find where there are similar things. This is very important."

The incense burner had been on Ai Xiaohai's mind. He felt that the appearance of this Ming dynasty incense burner in the forest was not simple. Perhaps there was a hidden treasure somewhere in the forest.

Leaving a treasure unclaimed was not his style.

"King, rest assured. With me, Prime Minister Ling, assisting General Lion, we will definitely find the king's chamber pot!"

Ai Xiaohai spat out: "It's an incense burner, not a chamber pot!"
