The Leopard seemed to be annoyed by Yao Yuan's question, and directly placed a claw on Yao Yuan's shoulder and said.

"Aren't you asking too many questions?"

Maybe because he felt that his body was not in too much danger, Yao Yuan spoke more frequently on a whim.

Seeing the impatient expression on the Leopard, Yao Yuan laughed. Even if he stopped the topic and turned to look at the Leopard: "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"

Yao Yuan realized that talking with Leopard was still pretty good. At least, it made people's heart comfortable when they spoke with it, so there wasn't much animosity between them. Although the Leopard in front of him looked like an animal speaking with a human, it was actually like a child.

"I'll follow you."

The Leopard's words were direct, causing Yao Yuan to feel extremely shocked.

"You're not joking, are you?"

Yao Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had never thought about this kind of thing. Although he didn't know the true identity of this Leopard, just looking at it from the Mount Li's perspective, one would think that this Leopard was definitely not simple.

Such a mysterious "person" taking the initiative to say that he wanted to follow him, Yao Yuan wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

The Leopard seemed to want to prove its innocence and ran up to a big tree not far away. From the looks of it, it seemed to be the tallest tree in the entire forest, and in a few seconds, it ran down from the tree with a letter in its mouth.

After Yao Yuan received the letter, the Leopard immediately followed up: "Although I don't know how I recognized these words, when I opened my eyes, this letter was right beside me. It should have been written by my parents, they told me to follow you."

Hearing the Leopard's words, Yao Yuan was skeptical for a moment. He slowly opened the envelope and started to read it carefully.

It did not say much. It only said that the Leopard should take good care of itself and not try to leave. After a few years, the first human that saw it would follow him.

Yao Yuan was extremely shocked, as though the reason Liu Neng had brought him back home to be his son-in-law was all because of fate.

Was this really his fate?

Yao Yuan could not help but laugh bitterly.

The words seemed to be said like it, but Yao Yuan did not dare to believe it too much as there had been such an example before. However, when he saw the look of anticipation in the Leopard's eyes, Yao Yuan could only nod and say: "Alright, from today onwards, follow me."

On the Leopard's body, there seemed to be a lot of questions. After all, how did one live alone for so long, why did they speak the human language the moment they were born, understand the human language, etc., but there were still plenty of time.

When he knew that Yao Yuan had promised to bring him out, the Leopard became extremely happy and directly threw itself into Yao Yuan's embrace, rubbing its head against Yao Yuan's face non-stop, making the latter's face itch.

"Alright, alright, let's stop messing around. Let's go out now."

Yao Yuan inexplicably accepted a pet. The most important thing was that this pet could speak human language, and there were no obstacles in the way of communication.

From the Leopard's mouth, Yao Yuan knew that in this small forest, other than the Leopard itself, there were no other living beings. It could basically be determined that there were no substantial threats.

Bringing the Leopard out of the small forest, they returned to Miao Ling's side.

When she saw Yao Yuan coming out, Miao Ling seemed especially excited. Just as sshe was about to ask Yao Yuan about the situation inside, he suddenly realized that there was already a leopard following him.

Miao Ling, who was usually afraid of these ferocious beasts, was so scared that she did not know how to move hherhands and feet. She hurriedly walked over and hugged Miao Ling in his arms.

"Ah?" "Friend?"

Miao Ling never thought that in just a few minutes of time, Yao Yuan would bring out a Leopard from the forest, saying that it was his friend.

Is this true?

Miao Ling looked at Yao Yuan strangely, and the latter nodded. At this time, the Leopard slowly walked to Miao Ling's side, extended one of its front claws and said: "Hello, nice to meet you."

The Leopard seemed to want to get on good terms with Miao Ling, and the way she spoke had even changed a bit. If she didn't know that the Leopard was still young, Yao Yuan would even suspect that the Leopard had some other motive.

Of course, Yao Yuan wasn't very sure about the authenticity of this age.

Miao Ling was surprised once again. She looked at the Leopard and asked: "You still know how to speak?"

"Isn't talking normal?"

The Leopard pretended to be magnanimous and said: "This is nothing, you still have many things to be shocked about. There is no need for this."

Seeing the Leopard's appearance, Miao Ling seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Yao Yuan and slowly said: "This seems to be …"

"What is it?"

"It looks like a Spiritual Beast!"

There were four great beasts in the ancient times. Other than the four great beasts, in an era where the density of spirit energy was extremely high in the ancient times, not only were there large amounts and masses of Cultivator s that exploded, even many ordinary plants and animals gradually absorbed the essence of heaven and earth.

According to the historical records, a certain major power, upon seeing a single flower absorb spiritual energy by itself, suddenly felt something. He immediately sat down cross-legged next to the flower, explaining his insights into the Great Dao as he began to train.

Slowly, more and more plants and animals gathered around the major powers. In the end, the major powers were able to ascend into the Dao. The plants and animals around them began to gain insights into the Dao, and they learned many cultivation techniques.

From that time on, Spiritual Beast began to appear.

After Miao Ling finished speaking, she looked at Yao Yuan and said: "Obviously, you picked up a Spiritual Beast today."

Yao Yuan nodded, looked at the Leopard beside him and said: "Today, I'll give you a name."

"I have a name, Hua Hua."

The Leopard seemed to be very arrogant and spoiled, especially after hearing that she was a Spiritual Beast. It was as if her entire being had risen to a whole new level as she said proudly.

"Alright, alright, alright. You're called the Hua Hua. From today onwards, just follow me."

Since the letter from Hua Hua's parents had already been written as such, Yao Yuan naturally had nothing else to say. Bringing along Leopard and Miao Ling, they prepared to pass through the forest in front of them.

It had already been almost a day, and night had started to fall slowly. Yao Yuan had to hurry to find a large group of people before it completely turned into night, and go to a relatively safe place to comfortably and peacefully sleep for the night, in order to prepare for his upcoming trip.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left."
