The wolfhound was very excited when it saw that Feng Ruqing liked that big bone. To surpass the big rabbit, it took out a piece of feces that it had privately stashed away and offered it to Feng Ruqing.
That was the feces of a phoenix that it had accidentally found a few years ago and had been hiding, reluctant to eat it. Now it wanted to give its beloved treasure to the woman that it loved the most.
'Master will love it. '
The wolfhound was waiting for a compliment, but what would come to it was a blow on its head.
Feng Ruqing nonchalantly took the stick of bone given by the wolfhound and knocked it on its head."Take this piece of feces and get out of here!"
'This dog has gone overboard!'
The stick of bone at least could be used to hit people...
But this piece of feces... How was she supposed to take it?
"Howl!"
The wolfhound howled miserably and rolled aside while rubbing its small head. It stared at Feng Ruqing with glistening eyes.
'The higher tier spirit beasts have tastier feces, so why doesn't Master like it?'
That was how it had survived when it was hungry back then...
'Is it because Master feels sorry about it that has made her reluctant to take that piece of feces?'
The more it thought about it, the more it made sense. The wolfhound raised its head."Master..."
Feng Ruqing also lifted the stick of bone on her hand. The wolfhound suddenly trembled. It lowered its head to the ground, wagging its tail pathetically, but did not dare to speak again.
"This time, I'm leaving."
Feng Ruqing stared at the spirit beasts that had accompanied her for a long time before she began speaking.
All the spirit beasts raised their heads and looked straight at Feng Ruqing.
"Little Doggy has already reached Tier-7, and I have left some spirit herbs for you guys. So... It is enough for all of you to break through to a few more higher tiers. With your strength now, nobody will dare bully you anymore."
The beasts stood around in silence.
Before this, they just wanted to stop being bullied, but now... All they wanted was to follow her.
But she would leave eventually and no one could stop her.
"I'll come back. It's just that I don't know how long it will before that happens." Feng Ruqing smiled."I promise that after I've settled everything there, I'll come back to you and find a way to take all of you with me."
"Howl!"
The voice was tinged with reluctance, like soldiers sending their leader off.
"State Preceptor, let's go."
Feng Ruqing did not look at these spirit beasts again. She was afraid that she would miss them even more if she did.
Humans and spirit beasts were both emotional. At first, they would unite for their own purposes, but once they had spent more time together, they would eventually care for each other.
"Howl!"
"Chee-chee!"
"Roar!"
Numerous spirit beasts stood behind Feng Ruqing. They let out a barking sound that carried a thousand feelings, seemingly responding to her words.
They would wait for her no matter how long it took.

The mainland consisted of eight powerful kingdoms.
Besides Haitian Kingdom and Tianyue Kingdom, which had been destroyed, there were six other kingdoms in this mainland.
And among these kingdoms, Tianyue Kingdom was at the bottom of the list. It was said that there were countless skilled masters from other kingdoms.
