“That’s not surprising given the rarity of such physiques even once in a century. Anyone will be insane.”
As they listened to those around them talk, the faces of the Old Patriarch Ruan and the Patriarch grew increasingly unpleasant. When he saw the Ruan family guards standing in a trance, he could not contain his anger. “What do you continue to stand for? Didn’t you hear you were told you had to bring her back?”
Those people from the Ruan family quickly came to their senses and stepped forward. When the people around them noticed it, they said nothing. After all, this was their family business, and it was not their place as an outsider to intervene. Even if Ruan’s Fourth Miss was truly imprisoned and turned into a cauldron, it would have nothing to do with them.
“No, no, I don’t want to go back. I don’t want to…” Ruan’s Fourth Miss muttered in despair, her vision blurred by tears, desperate and helpless.
When Xie Yan and his wife thought that Feng Jiu would not save Fourth Miss Ruan, they saw Feng Jiu sweeping her limpid gaze over and shouted coldly, “Stop!”
Perhaps her shout was what caused those people to stop and not move forward again.
Patriarch Ruan looked at Feng Jiu sternly and asked, “What? Do you want to manage our Ruan family’s affairs?”
Feng Jiu’s lips curled up as she looked back at him. “Patriarch Ruan has a short memory. Have you forgotten that she just slandered me and you’re going to take her away? Haha, you think too simple.”
“A mere Foundation Formation cultivator, it would not be too much to kill you! It is nothing more than slander. Just you by yourself, what can you do?” Patriarch Ruan disregarded Feng Jiu’s words with a scornful sneer.
“Really?” She chuckled as she stared at Patriarch Ruan and called out, “Silver Ingot, exercise your muscles and bones!” A wolf howled as soon as her voice faded, leaving everyone stunned.
“Awoo!”
An ear-piercing howl suddenly rang out. The sound directly soared into the sky, where it reverberated powerfully and intensely. When the people below heard the wolf howling, they all screamed in shock, hunched over with their hands covering their ears, and looked around in terror.
But, when the silver-white puppy crouching not far behind Feng Jiu suddenly stood up and changed shape with a burst of light, everyone panicked!
“Oh, my goodness! That’s a wolf! The Wolf King! Hiss! It’s at the level of the Sacred Beast!”
They couldn’t help but stare as the originally inconspicuous puppy transformed into a silver wolf more than one metre tall and pounced on Patriarch Ruan with a ferocious look.
Patriarch Ruan was still pondering what the silver ingot Feng Jiu had mentioned when the wolf pounced on him. For a brief moment, he had the impression that he was wholly covered by a massive thing from above his head. The pressure of the sacred beast and it’s dreadful bloodlust’s breath made him unable to dodge. He watched in horror as the wolf swooped down to bite him.
“Get out of the way!”
Old Patriarch Ruan yelled loudly. Before the silver wolf could bite Patriarch Ruan, he quickly reached out and pulled him back, thus averting the silver wolf’s attack.
The unexpected blow startled the Ruan family, particularly Ruan’s Fourth Missi, who stared blankly and forgot to cry. She had no idea Feng Jiu would be willing to help her. Hope rose in her heart for a brief moment.
When Old Patriarch Ruan saw the not-yet-contracted sacred beast was staring at them while baring its sharp teeth, he asked Feng Jiu with a stern gaze. “Who the hell are you?”
