Shen Yuan, who was preparing to lead his Maine Coon up the hill, turned his head at the sound and saw a young man in a blue shirt waving him over with a hint of fear hiding under his cheerful expression.
Shen Yuan paused, realising that there was more to this place than met the eye. After a moment of hesitation, he conveyed secretly to the Maine Coon:
"We should split up."
"Yes!"
The Maine Coon pretended not to know Shen Yuan and arrogantly sauntered toward the mountain peak.
Small monsters flocked to the Maine Coon to guide it, and amongst the diverse faces, human-like flattery shone. For most of the small monsters present, a cultivator in the Qi Transformation Stage was indeed a being to look up to.
As for Shen Yuan who started walking towards Hoe Yao, he had already been forgotten.
Before Shen Yuan could catch up, Hoe Yao grabbed him and pulled him aside into a secluded corner, an enthusiastic expression of reminiscence on his face.
