Taotie’s existence left Wu Yao and Shen Jueyang speechless. This is a ferocious beast that only exists in the primordial era. One of the oldest existences in ancient time. It possessed the ability to devour. It can eat everything and because of this is, the heavenly dao feared his insatiable hunger and asked someone imprisoned on him one of the gates connected to the ancient lands which is now the territory of the Black Cloud Academy.
Whimpers~
{You’ve woken me up! I complained a bit and got hit. I was only sleeping throughout my hunger. Wuaa~}
The large dog was wailing while holding its head like a beaten child. The sound of the beast crying resounds in the whole academy even towards outside the academy. To prevent outsiders from knowing it, Shen Jueyang had to use his real realm and isolate the whole academy almost immediately.
The Immortal Sun Emperor covered Yue Xuexia’s ears and even suppressed the Taotie itself. This Taotie had been suppressed for a long time. Its realm had regressed quite a lot ever since it was imprisoned.
"Cry and shout again, I will beat you myself!" said the Immortal Sun Emperor.
As for the old man, Wu Yao, he had already taken a thin branch and was hitting the chained Taotie with bleeding ears.
"Shout again! Since this old man’s eardrums had already been burst by you then continue shouting! I can’t hear it anyway!" said Wu Yao.
The Taotie knew that he was wrong and could only cover his head, whimpering no longer crying so loud. Seeing the dog-like ferocious beast acting like a child, Yue Xuexia who likes animals felt bad for it. She gently took down the hands covering her ears and looked at the Immortal Sun Emperor.
"Let’s go down. I need to check my Master’s ears," said the Moon Goddess.
"Alright," said Shen Jueyang as he carried Yue Xuexia down to where Taotie was.
The Moon Goddess gestured to the Immortal Sun Emperor making him pull back the angry old man then Yue Xuexia cured his ears. Once the old man could hear again, he finally calmed down and then checked his ears. Yue Xuexia used sacred healing to instantly cure his burst ears.
Wu Yao sounds delighted, "Oh~ I can hear again!"
The Moon Goddess looked at the pitiful Taotie and felt as if staring at a bullied dog. Just under her stare the supposed ferocious beast started trembling. Seeing the traces of wounds caused by the chain made Yue Xuexia stare at these unhealing wounds then at its bruises and now its crying face. She really felt bad. Moreover, she cannot sense any evil coming from this ferocious beast. After hesitating for a while, she finally materialized silver lotuses and let it fly towards the chains around Taotie. These silver lotuses were her sword’s intent after materialization. As soon as the small silver lotus flowers touch the chains, countless sword slashes enough to match the number of petals on the lotus flower equal the number of each sword slash.
Clang. Clang. Clang.
The next moment the chains with the law of suppression were cut off. Leaving everyone in the area dumbfounded, for the Immortal Sun Emperor and Wu Yao, the two of them didn’t expect that the Moon Goddess would let the ferocious beast free. As a ferocious beast, its standing among the beast is no different as demonic cultivators among the cultivators. Their existence screams chaos and calamity itself. The Taotie upon sensing that the things restraining him are gone plus the scary aura of the Immortal Sun Emperor, what comes to its mind first was to escape. He didn’t want to be captured for the second time and wanted to run away from Shen Jueyang who emits a dangerous aura that frightened the Taotie. It even shrinks to the size of a puppy in fear.
Now, it looked like a lost child looking around at the things that were pulling him down and leaving wounds all over his body. As if terrified by the presences in the area, it tried to runaway only for it to be hugged by Yue Xuexia ignoring the blood tainting her robes and gently patting the back of Taotie while using her healing skill to the fullest to cure all its physical wounds.
"It’s alright. No one is going to hurt you anymore," whispered the Moon Goddess as if she was afraid that the little one in her arms would start crying next.
This ancient monster as old as this universe itself had been feared and treated as a menace after being reborn as a ferocious beast. However, this kind of beasts born from heaven and earth itself cannot choose what their origin would be as they were born. Divine beasts or Ferocious beasts, any of their ancestors were born from the power of the heavens. No one gave birth to them and their titles were only made by the other beings who called them with names. It’s just that the ability to eat anything and endless hunger wasn’t a good ability and is considered monstrous. That’s why Taotie was considered as a ferocious beast as after he was born, without anyone to guide him, he could only eat anything and everything. Whether this is good or bad no one taught him about it. In the end, he was treated as a beast that can only bring calamity dubbing him a ferocious beast instead of divine one.
Only when the taotie felt that the pain all over its wounds had disappeared and the warmth of the embrace cradling him didn’t bring him any suffering that Taotie finally opened its eyes which was filled with silent tears when he thought he would be killed.
{Warm... What is this?} Taotie mumbles as he meets the silver eyes of the Goddess of the Moon.
Yue Xuexia gently pats Taotie’s head and says, "Don’t be afraid. I will never let you get chained again. There will be no more pain or hunger."
She pulled a high-grade bigu pill from her storage space and carefully fed the little one. But the rumors about Taotie’s insatiable hunger is also real, even after eating a high-grade pill that will not allow a taotie to feel full. Seeing the little one still rubbing its tummy, it looked at the Moon Goddess with round eyes.
Taotie asked, {Is there more?}
Yue Xuexia smiled and with a wave of his hand a pile of pills, food and anything nourishing for the taotie had been piled up into a few small hills. The moment these things appeared, the eyes of the taotie glowed and immediately jumped down to run directly to those small hills with delicious scents and started devouring things without stopping. The three humans watched as they saw a small puppy jumping through the small hills of resources and before their naked eyes, each and everything had ended up in Taotie’s tummy. Its mouth was like a blackhole, endless and unknown.
The Immortal Sun Emperor commented, "Where did this little thing came from? Well not eating properly in years. This reaction is not surprising. I won’t be surprised if it decides to eat a whole mountain."
Blurps~
After all the small hill of resources was gone, what replaced it at the center is a small puppy with a very round stomach. Its tummy had increased in size and was even bigger than the puppy’s head. It looks both ridiculous and funny.
Wu Yao rubbed his chin and said, "Whoever, this little guy accepts as his master, that person would be unlucky in life. Look at how much it eats."
"Old man, don’t jinx yourself. Seeing how much Xue’er likes it, you might truly have to watch over this kid in the future," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.
Wu Yao’s smile disappeared and then looked at his disciple and the piglet-like puppy on the ground while had now fallen asleep.
"Is this truly Taotie? After eating, the little one went to sleep. If it continues like this it won’t truly turn into a pig, right?" said the former principal of the Black Cloud Academy.
In the end, Yue Xuexia had picked up the sleeping taotie and closed off the whole formation one again until the split mountain once again turned into the whole mountain.
The Moon Goddess said, "Master, I still want this mountain peak."
Knowing that Yue Xuexia is choosing this place as the location of her abode in the Black Cloud Academy just to make sure no one would accidentally venture on this peak and accidentally activate that area where the Taotie was first imprisoned.
Wu Yao said, "Alright. This whole mountain peak is yours." He was smiling at his disciple and then turned his head to look at the Immortal Sun Emperor and asked, "When are you going to start working on this place?"
Shen Jueyang said, "The construction will start tomorrow after I called the people later."
"Since there is nothing much for us to do, let’s go back to the main peak and start making lunch," said Yue Xuexia.
