woof-
The fearsome howl erupted from Black Mountain, who was dashing towards the dark rift, and its sprinting pace abruptly halted, skidding several feet with its robust body. It let out a bark, a sound it hadn’t made in ages.
What scared it was the discovery that the minute fracture, initially almost imperceptible, had, in a blink, widened enough for it to fit in, even with its true form revealed.
What was even more terrifying was the dreadful aura emanating from the split rift the second it tore open—an aura as horrifying as a mountain god’s.
However, moments later, Black Mountain’s fear started to dissipate, replaced by relaxation, for it saw a “human” stepping out of the rift, whom it found very attractive.
What really put Black Mountain at ease was the scent of its master on this “human”—it could definitely detect it.
Feng Qing’an was utterly flabbergasted. He had been longing for the Innate Yin Spirit to come his way.
“My!”
The damsel who had descended to earth also noticed Black Mountain in front of her. The girl surveyed Black Mountain with curiosity in her eyes. She too sensed the strong presence of Feng Qing’an on the brute. It was so vivid.
As they examined each other, the boundless Yin Qi activated by the arrival of the girl startled the wandering deity that patrolled at night.
However, the deity that roamed at night got close to Feng Family Hill, and seeing two unmistakably non-human beings present. it stopped in its tracks- Tt
was easy to identify the beast, having morphed but the ghost deity could see its essence—it’s the dog kept by Feng Family.
Opposite to it, the girl who could also be identified as non-human should have been captured by him, the deity, as per his employment.
Yet, despite her seeming weakness that would classify her as one of those wandering spirits that he captured, the deity felt a gut feeling that if he dared take a swing at her, he would face something terribly horrifying.
The deity of the night chose to trust his instincts, so,
“I should report this to the City God!”
The deity turned around and left. The City God had once warned him, anything related to Feng Family Heir, as long as it did not cause a nuisance to the mortals, should be left untouched and allowed to unfold naturally.
It wasn’t that he was cowardly, but he was adhering to the guidance of City God.
With the deity’s departure, the bridges between the girl and the beast were slowly drawn down, focusing on one another. “Does Feng Qing’an keep this?”
“What’s her relationship with the master?”
The Yin Spirit and the beast guessed each other’s identity, however, the girl and the Black Mountain harbored no ill thoughts towards each other.
Because it was their first interaction, they were both a bit cautious, not sure how to break the ice.
“Black Mountain! ”
Just then, a figure darted out of the village. Both the girl and beast laid their eyes on him. The girl had a joyous note to her voice.
The eyes of Black Mountain, however, filled with confusion, it hadn’t seen its master go out at night before—wasn’t his master always at home commanding it? Why had he made an exception tonight? Black Mountain sensed something was off.
“Feng Qing’an!”
The confused Black Mountain saw the girl standing in front of it, calling its master’s name. The girl took brisk steps, dashing to its master, and bit his neck in front of it!
Growl!
A menacing low growl rose from Black Mountain’s throat as if ready to pounce when Feng Qing’an’s stern gaze came over.
“Black Mountain, what are you intending to do?”
Black Mountain, which had just revealed its fierce side, relaxed its body instantly, and its eyes reflected a sense of loss.
Why the reprimand? What did it do wrong? It was this random woman who was biting its master!
“Is this your mount?”
Then, Black Mountain saw the “person” they thought was extremely beautiful and perfect loosened her bite, turned her head to look at it, and asked its master curiously.
Only then did Black Mountain notice its master didn’t have any blood flowing from his neck. Actually, there was a crystal-clear liquid shining under the moonlight. It was not a bite at all.
The spectral hound’s eyes reflected deep thought.
“Black Mountain, what’re you still dazed about? The dark rift has already opened so wide, hurry up and go in!”
Just as Black Mountain was about to take action, Feng Qing’an’s voice came over.
Black Mountain, which was about to move, suddenly froze in its spot. It wanted to go over and lick its master, not for any other reason, but because it felt something was being taken away from Feng Qing’an.
But, the command from its master was absolute, and besides, it was also its own intention.
So, Black Mountain let out a somewhat annoyed growl and instantly transformed into the Ghost Wolf, stepped onto the azure flames, and rushed into the Netherworld’s chasm.
“Feng Qing’an, your mount seems a bit upset!”
The girl looked at the departing figure of Black Mountain, with slight confusion in her big eyes, as she turned towards Feng Qing’an.
“Leave it be, what could make it so upset? It has already entered the Netherworld and would soon have a feast!”
Feng Qing’an didn’t care. He could feel Black Mountain’s emotions, but that was just a case of Black Mountain’s temper tantrums. The girl standing in front was the one he needed to pay full attention to and treat seriously.
“Really?”
“Of course, come on, since you’re here, come and sit at my house!”
Feng Qing’an extended the invitation. Although his elder brother had left his expansive air to suppress others in his household, he didn’t think the girl in front of him fell into that category.
“Not going!”
But the cheerful-looking girl suddenly began to show her stubborn streak.
“What’s the matter?”
Feng Qing’an was entirely dumbfounded and did not know what was happening. Wasn’t she fine moments ago?
He needed to sign a contract with her soon. If he could sense her emotional changes, he would understand why.
“Why did you leave without saying anything yesterday? And you had told me that my singing had attracted you, but I sang the whole night and you didn’t show up, are you lying to me?”
The girl’s eyebrows furrowed, and her cheeks puffed out in anger, while Feng Qing’an found her adorable.
Despite her current elaborate attire, she gave off the vibe of a ruffled squirrel..
