Li Wanji turned around and went back to her tent. She couldn't fall asleep, so she summoned her pet, the adorable iron-eating beast.
She named the iron-eating beast "Panda" according to the modern social term.
At this moment, Li Wanji was teasing the panda and suddenly felt that it had grown a lot bigger than before. Its body became rounder, and its fur became more distinct black and white, shining with a soft luster under the candlelight.
There seemed to be more liveliness in the panda's eyes. It was enjoying Li Wanji's caress leisurely and contentedly, occasionally uttering a few hums of satisfaction.
"Maozai, did you steal something delicious? How come you've grown so big all of a sudden? Did you eat too much of the 'immortal fruit' I gave you?" Li Wanji teased with a smile, gently pinching the panda's chubby belly.
The panda seemed to understand what Li Wanji said. It looked at her innocently with its black and white eyes, then suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a few sharp teeth, as if threatening her not to touch its belly again.
Li Wanji was amused by the appearance of the panda and laughed out loud. She knew that although this iron-eating beast looked honest and cute, its strength should not be underestimated.
As early as in ancient times, iron-eating beasts were one of the mythical beasts. They fed on iron, had great strength, and could easily tear steel apart. They were a terrifying existence that struck fear into the hearts of the enemies on the battlefield.
Li Wanji only used this spiritual pet as a reward from Heaven last time. It must be an extremely precious and powerful existence, but it has not yet fully demonstrated its strength.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Li Wanji patted the panda's head gently, then signaled it to be quiet.
"Grow up quickly, and then you can be my mount or something. Then I can ride you on the battlefield."
However, the panda seemed uninterested in her expectations. It yawned, lay down lazily, and closed its eyes.
Seeing this, Li Wanji could only smile helplessly, knowing the habits of this spirit pet. She gently closed the curtain of the tent, blew out the candle, and lay down on her bed.
Soon, Li Wanji felt a little sleepy. She closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
The panda beside her quietly opened its eyes, and a cunning light flashed in its eyes.
It leaped lightly and transformed into a handsome man with white hair and black clothes. He had stars in his eyes and an extraordinary temperament, yet also a bit unruly and wild.
He tiptoed to Li Wanji's bed and looked at her sleeping face tenderly.
He stretched out his hand gently, as if afraid of disturbing her dream, and his fingertips lightly stroked her cheek with a barely perceptible attachment.
His name is Jiu Che, he is the patriarch of the iron-eating beast clan, and he is also the ancient soul that Li Wanji accidentally awakened.
He was originally Chi You's mount, but in the ancient war, Chi You was defeated and Jiu Che was sealed. He was not awakened until Li Wanji accidentally triggered some mysterious opportunity.
Unfortunately, he is still in a semi-awakened state and cannot maintain his human form for a long time. Most of the time he can only exist in the form of a spirit pet.
An extremely powerful spirit once told him: "If you want to fully awaken, you need to find a master who is connected to you by heart and blood, and help him accomplish great things, before you can completely unlock it."
Jiu Che stared at Li Wanji's sleeping face, and ripples appeared in his heart.
This woman with an extraordinary beauty is the opportunity for his revival. Her potential and destiny give him endless hope.
Therefore, he was willing to do everything to help her accomplish her mission and to gain complete freedom for himself.
"Wan Ji! Are you looking for me?" Yan Yuhe's voice came from outside the tent, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Jiu Che withdrew his hand instantly, and his body shook, turning into a panda again. He lay lazily back beside Li Wanji, as if nothing had happened.
Li Wanji was awakened by Yan Yuhe's voice. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, looked at the panda beside her, and felt puzzled. She seemed to feel a powerful breath just now, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Wan Ji, are you asleep?" Yan Yuhe's voice came again, a little anxious.
"No, come in." Li Wanji raised her hand to remove the restrictions outside the tent. Yan Yuhe pushed open the curtain of the tent and walked in.
His eyes lingered on Li Wanji for a moment, then fell on the panda beside her, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Hey, isn't this an iron-eating beast? If I remember correctly, they seemed to have been extinct a long time ago."
You will be exterminated, and your entire family will be exterminated!
After hearing what Yan Yuhe said, Jiuche immediately straightened his upper body, showing his sharp fangs, widened his eyes, and slapped Yan Yuhe, but was stopped in time by Li Wanji.
"Maozi, don't be rude." Li Wanji scolded softly.
This guy looks honest and cute, but he is actually very arrogant and will not tolerate being looked down upon by others.
Yan Yuhe was startled by Jiuche's sudden action. He took a step back and smiled awkwardly: "Wan Ji, your pet is really interesting."
"This is a heavenly spiritual pet, so it's naturally different from others." Li Wanji responded with a smile, and at the same time gently patted Jiuche's head, signaling it to be quiet.
"Oh, no wonder it looks so extraordinary." Yan Yuhe nodded in praise, and was about to step forward to tease Jiu Che.
Jiu Che turned into a puff of green smoke on the spot and disappeared without a trace, leaving Yan Yuhe and Li Wanji looking at each other in shock.
"The cat doesn't like strangers, please don't be surprised."
"It seems that your pet really has a personality." Yan Yuhe also laughed. He shook his head and suddenly remembered something important: "Nanxing said you were looking for me. What's the matter?"
Thousands of enemies were killed on the battlefield today. Because of the Nine Cheats just now, a lot of the resentment in Yan Yuhe's heart was vented. Now his mood has calmed down a lot.
Li Wanji saw that her battle uniform was cut a few times and couldn't help but frowned: "Yuhe, are you injured? On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, you need to be careful."
Yan Yuhe looked down at his battle suit and smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, just some minor injuries. The battle today was intense, so it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises."
Li Wanji sighed softly, took out a jade bottle from her bosom, and handed it to Yan Yuhe: "This is a healing elixir refined by my clan. Take it and it will be good for your injury."
At this moment, Yan Yuhe seemed to be the same as before in the Biluo Sea. She was extremely meticulous and always able to perceive her most subtle needs.
So many times, he was determined not to let himself be bound by this tenderness, but every time she showed such concern, the defense in his heart collapsed again.
"Thank you, Wanji." Yan Yuhe thanked her solemnly and put the jade bottle in his arms.
