Chapter 28

Jiang Ping'an was shocked at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised.

This demonic beast had a low realm, yet its speed was terrifying.

If this demonic beast were to grow, how powerful would it become in the future?

If it could be tamed, it would be faster than anyone else when fleeing!

Jiang Ping'an's life philosophy was the same as his name: everything for peace and safety.

Seeing how powerful the demonic beast was, he was even less likely to give up.

"You should get down quickly to avoid danger."

Jiang Ping'an lowered his head and reminded Meng Jing, who was hanging on his body.

"No! If you're not afraid of danger, I'm certainly not afraid either!"

Meng Jing said she wasn't afraid, but her body clung even tighter to him.

She suddenly noticed something and shouted, "There's a cliff ahead!"

Jiang Ping'an opened his eyes and saw a steep cliff ahead, towering over a hundred meters high.

The white demonic beast, upon seeing the cliff, not only did not stop but also accelerated even more.

Jiang Ping'an's heart sank.

Could this demonic beast be planning to die with them?

At this speed, crashing into the cliff would mean certain death or severe injury!

Jiang Ping'an instinctively wanted to abandon the demonic beast and jump down, but in the end, he didn't run away. He decided to take a chance.

Even if this demonic beast had a bad temper, it wouldn't die so easily.

Even if it really wanted to die with them, with his current physical condition, the probability of death was not high.

As they got closer to the cliff, Meng Jing panicked, "Hurry up and get down! It's going to die with us!"

Jiang Ping'an's eyes were filled with determination. He activated the Blood Qi Technique, preparing to resist.

Seeing that he had no intention of getting down, Meng Jing shouted loudly, "You idiot! If I get hurt, you'll have to take care of me for the rest of my life!"

After scolding him, she quickly closed her eyes, waiting for the terrifying impact.

After a while, she didn't feel any pain but instead felt her body leaning back, as if a force was pulling her down.

"What's happening?"

Meng Jing opened her eyes in confusion and saw an even more shocking scene.

The white, horse-like demonic beast was actually running up the cliff!

This was a cliff almost perpendicular to the ground!

The demonic beast was running as if it were on flat ground!

What kind of demonic beast is this?

Even Meng Jing, who had some knowledge, had never seen a creature like this.

A few meters from the top of the cliff, the white demonic beast leaped up.

At that moment, the moonlight and the white demonic beast complemented each other, looking incredibly beautiful.

Jiang Ping'an clung tightly to the neck of the demonic beast, while Meng Jing clung tightly to Jiang Ping'an.

"Thud~"

The demonic beast landed on the top of the cliff and ran away at high speed.

A soldier from Ping Shui County who was using the toilet just lowered his head and felt a white shadow pass by, which scared him.

He looked up but saw nothing.

He turned to the soldiers drinking and shouted, "Old Zhao! Did you see a white shadow just now?"

"There's nothing. You've had too much to drink. Hurry up and finish peeing, then continue drinking." Old Zhao urged, holding a wine bottle.

"Oh, maybe I saw wrong."

The soldier shivered, pulled up his pants, and returned to continue drinking.

This cliff was one of the connections between Lian Shan County and Ping Shui County.

Because it was too steep, it was difficult to attack from this side, so the defense here was not strict, with only a few soldiers on duty.

The white shadow that just passed was the white demonic beast that Jiang Ping'an was riding.

Meng Jing clung tightly to Jiang Ping'an, her face pale. "Jiang Ping'an, we seem to have run to Ping Shui County."

Jiang Ping'an didn't respond, looking at the galloping horse with affection.

Seeing that he didn't comfort her or even respond, Meng Jing was so angry that she bit Jiang Ping'an's neck.

"Dead log, you'll never find a wife in your life!"

Jiang Ping'an ignored her. As Old Li said, girls always get angry for no reason.

Old Li said to comfort her at such times, but Jiang Ping'an didn't think this was right.

If she gets angry for no reason, why should men have to comfort her?

This demonic beast is really strong, and it must be tamed!

Inside the Lian Shan County General's Mansion.

Meng Kuo, touching the scar on his face, stared at the map, studying the winter battle plan.

"General! Something's wrong!"

A soldier suddenly ran in.

Meng Kuo scolded the soldier, "How many times have I told you to stay calm no matter what? You're making a mess of things."

"It's the young lady who's missing!" the soldier shouted.

"What! What happened! Where did the young lady go?"

Meng Kuo forgot what he had just said, his face changing.

"Not only that, but Captain Jiang... Captain Jiang is also missing!" the soldier said in a panic.

Meng Kuo, who was originally very worried, suddenly paused and then sighed in relief.

"Alright, don't worry. If something happened, they wouldn't both be missing. Young people always have their moments of disappearance at night. Go back."

Meng Kuo said meaningfully.

His daughter has grown up.

Jiang Ping'an is a good kid, talented, serious about cultivation, and has no bad habits. He's very suitable to be a son-in-law.

The white demonic beast ran until dawn, finally exhausted, and collapsed beside a pond.

Jiang Ping'an still clung to its neck, afraid that it was pretending and would run away once he let go.

At this demonic beast's speed, he couldn't catch up.

"Will you be my mount?" Jiang Ping'an asked.

Demonic beasts have intelligence, and this one seemed even smarter, able to understand human speech.

The demonic beast closed its eyes, panting heavily, ignoring him.

Jiang Ping'an took out a Qi Gathering Pill and put it in the demonic beast's mouth.

The demonic beast wanted to spit it out but, feeling the power, swallowed it.

"Follow me, and I'll give you a Qi Gathering Pill every day." Jiang Ping'an said.

"Qi Gathering Pill! You're giving it a Qi Gathering Pill? That's a waste!" Meng Jing suddenly exclaimed.

One Qi Gathering Pill was equivalent to thirty to forty spirit stones and had the effect of accelerating cultivation.

Although this demonic beast was powerful, it was too wasteful.

One Qi Gathering Pill a day was equivalent to thirty to forty Blood Qi Pills in value.

Even if their General's Mansion wanted to raise this demonic beast, it would be a strain.

Is Jiang Ping'an deceiving the demonic beast?

Meng Jing didn't believe Jiang Ping'an had so many resources and thought he was deceiving the demonic beast.

"Two pills, okay?" Jiang Ping'an said again.

The white demonic beast's head turned, clearly disdainful.

"Three."

"Four."

Jiang Ping'an kept raising the offer.

Meng Jing sighed, "Don't waste your effort. This demonic beast is not ordinary and has its own pride. It's not as easy to tame as other demonic beasts."

She could tell this demonic beast was not simple. At just the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, its speed was almost on par with a Foundation Establishment cultivator who couldn't fly.

This was likely a rare demonic beast.

These rare beasts were extremely proud, just like human cultivators. The stronger the talent, the heavier the pride.

You can kill a genius, but it's hard to make a genius bow their head.

"Final offer, five Qi Gathering Pills a day. If not, forget it." Jiang Ping'an said.

"Already told you, don't waste your effort. This is a rare beast..."

Meng Jing's voice suddenly stopped, her mouth agape in shock.

Because she saw the proud rare beast suddenly turn its head and open its mouth wide.

Meng Jing: "..."

How shameful, you're a rare beast! How can you give in so easily!

Where is your pride? Where is your dignity?
