I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 318: Chapter 267: Seeing Elder Wei Again

In a lifetime, one meets many people. Some come and go without a trace, while others pause to leave an indelible mark. Even if they later fade away, the impression they left is remembered, cherished by some even after long years have passed.

For Meng Wuan, the Yang Mengying he spoke of was his spring sunlight, his regret, an unattainable, unforgettable memory, and a part of his Dao Heart.

Now, with that single strike of his sword and the words carved upon Si Jian Cliff, the curtain had fallen on it all. What remained, as Yu Changsheng had said, was the brilliance of the coming spring tide.

"We should leave something behind, too."

Li Minghan thought for a moment and made the suggestion. With a few swift strokes, SCRAPE, SCRAPE, SCRAPE, he too carved something in a corner of Si Jian Cliff:

"Si Jian has its bounds, but when does longing end? May the rest of my days be a smooth and open road. ———Li Minghan"

"There, not bad at all." Li Minghan dusted off his hands with a chuckle, nodding in satisfaction.

Yu Changsheng fell into thought. He looked at the lines Li Minghan had carved, considered for a moment, and then engraved a line of his own:

"If the heart faces the sun, there is light everywhere. Follow your heart, and all will be beautiful. ———Yu Changsheng"

Li Minghan read it word for word, then gave Yu Changsheng a thumbs-up and nodded. His eyes were filled with admiration. Then, he raised an eyebrow at Yu Changsheng with a slight smile and whispered:

"Speaking of this, have you seen that love letter our Peak Master wrote? Tsk, tsk... that was really something else..."

Li Minghan clicked his tongue in amazement. Clearly, seeing that thing for the first time had been a huge shock to him as well.

Yu Changsheng nodded, but before he could say anything, Meng Wuan, having settled his affairs, cupped his fist in salute to them. His expression had returned to calm as he spoke.

"Since that’s settled, I’ll take my leave. The Secret Realm won’t close for a while yet. During this time, Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you shouldn’t wander about. Stick with Fellow Daoist Li; that will be much safer. Your body is in no condition to take another beating."

"I have other things to attend to, so we’ll part ways for now. When the Secret Realm event is over, if we have the chance, let’s get a drink together. And if you ever come to the Purple Rainbow Sect, feel free to use my name."

"Alright. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Meng." Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan smiled and nodded at him.

"Oh, right. I ran into Zhang Tianwen east of Si Jian Cliff before. For safety’s sake, you could try to meet up with him."

After a moment’s thought and one last word of advice, Meng Wuan stepped onto his Long Sword, which transformed into a streaking rainbow that shot into the heavens, leaving Si Jian Cliff behind.

There was still a day and a half left in the Secret Realm; they couldn’t afford to waste it all here.

"Changsheng, if you’re up for it, we should get going too."

Watching Meng Wuan fly into the distance, Li Minghan turned to Yu Changsheng and asked after a moment of thought.

"I’m fine. It’s just... I’ll be a burden to you on the way."

Yu Changsheng gave a wry smile, assessed the state of his body, and let out a soft sigh.

Although the two Life-Returning Pills had saved him from death’s door, his injuries this time were far too severe. Even a part of his heart had been pierced through. It was no exaggeration to say that if not for the timely treatment and a Life-Saving Elixir like the Life-Returning Pill...

...Yu Changsheng feared he would have truly died here with regrets. For the foreseeable future, he couldn’t even think about using his Cultivation. At this moment, he was no different from a helpless cripple. Without someone to protect him in this Secret Realm, any random Fog Beast could finish him off.

"Don’t talk about being a burden. What’s there to be so polite about between us?" Li Minghan said with a wave of his hand and a chuckle.

"The Secret Realm closes in a day and a half. While we still have time, we should hurry and hunt some more Fog Beasts. An opportunity like this is rare. Along the way, we can see if we can meet up with Senior Brother Zhang. That would be safer."

"Alright. Let’s do it your way." Yu Changsheng nodded, giving Li Minghan an apologetic smile.

’It was obvious that in my current state, I’ll be a distraction for Li Minghan,’ he thought. ’And here in the Illusion Mist Beast Valley, every single second counts when you’re fighting for opportunities. An ordinary person would never be willing to drag along someone who’s just dead weight.’

"It’s a small problem," Li Minghan muttered. With a wave of his hand, the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon appeared. The majestic creature gently lowered its body to the ground, dipping its proud head before the two of them, its massive form rising and falling with its breath.

"Truly majestic. Its draconic aura is immense. Minghan, you must continue to raise it well."

Yu Changsheng gently stroked the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon’s head, his eyes filled with wonder. He truly never expected that the Pangolin he had casually helped raise back then would one day have such a fortuitous encounter and evolve into this.

’It can only be said that it met the right master.’

The Red Mountain Sub-Dragon did not resist Yu Changsheng’s touch. Its eyes were gentle, and it even nudged him affectionately in return. Within its pair of lantern-like eyes was a human-like expression of fondness and gratitude.

Clearly, it still remembered Yu Changsheng, the one who had first changed its destiny. If Yu Changsheng hadn’t helped its bloodline achieve its first evolution, none of what followed would have been possible.

Moreover, Yu Changsheng himself exuded an aura that it found appealing, making it feel a natural affinity for him.

This aura was a result of both his innate Physique and his acquired Cultivation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique.

"It has only just been promoted; its evolution isn’t complete yet. But it’s close,"

Li Minghan said with a chuckle. He looked at the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon with a hint of pride, which then turned to slight bewilderment. ’Why does it feel like my own tamed beast is more affectionate toward Yu Changsheng than me?’

"A Red Mountain Sub-dragon has limitless potential."

Yu Changsheng nodded. Li Minghan helped support him as they leaped lightly onto the Red Mountain Sub-Dragon’s head.
