Forsaken Immortals Chapter 348 The Zheng Beast

Chapter 348 The Zheng Beast

Li Moyun was aware of the importance of a soul imprint, but he did not mention it to Bai Rouyun. The young woman had experienced many unfortunate things throughout her life, and although this man, her father, was not aware of her existence before, he still owed her what a parent should give his child.
Yan Wenxiu smiled, he felt relieved when he noticed the knowing glance from Li Moyun, but he did not mention the risks involved with the imprint.
As Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun left the Forgotten City, a gentle and happy smile adorned their lips, and happiness was radiating from the young woman, while adoration and pampering flew from the eyes of the handsome man.
Having found a doting father was a great bonus, and Bai Rouyun's emotions could be said to be on a rollercoaster ride. She was happy to know that not all parents were ruthless and willing to sacrifice their children, but that even among the strongest experts, true family love was still possible.
"Are you sure you want us to move forward on our own?" Li Moyun could not help but ask gently, as he took her hand into his. Although he understood the reasons for her wish to move forward on her own and stand on her own two feet with her own family, he still needed to make sure that she had thought it through.
"Don't worry." Bai Rouyun's eyes were glistening with happiness but also contained a firm will. "Although I have found my father, and I am very happy to know that he cares about me, I still need to move forward on my own two feet.
"I already have an outstanding husband by my side, but if I also bring an overpowered father, then I will never be able to challenge myself and stand out amongst the many heroes of the world."
Bai Rouyun was never willing to become a gentle flower raised in a greenhouse. Her origin and past life had made it clear that only the strong wildflowers were able to stay alive. Although her husband was by her side, and her father was powerful, no one could be by her side for every moment of the rest of her life. Depending on herself was much more reliable than depending on others.
That being said, she did not look down on her two important family members, and was more than willing to accept their help. Before leaving behind her father, he had given her many items that could be used for self-preservation, and she would never refuse to use them, should the need arise.
However, there was a difference between using an item that could save her life in a critical moment, and hiding behind her family members no matter what happened.
"What should we do now?" After walking for some time, and reaching a part of the road where few people would travel, Li Moyun wanted to ask Bai Rouyun about their future plans. Although he could have asked this question before, he was still more cautious, as they had heard about the Lotus of the Nine Heavens.
"We have to be careful." Bai Rouyun looked around, and as she ensured that no one was around, she quickly released their adopted children from the Primal Chaos Pagoda.
Out of nowhere, a group of children and beasts suddenly appeared, making the road seem much more crowded.
"Mother, do we really have to leave grandfather behind?" Xiao Bao had become much more immune to considering its contractor a parent, and after knowing that she was the reincarnation of his creator, he had fully accepted her.
Initially, he still held some unwillingness towards calling Li Moyun for his father, but this dislike had soon vanished after their reunion, as Li Moyun had brought out numerous treasures and nutrients for spirits.
When Yan Wenxiu had found the benefits of buying goodwill, he had also tossed many great treasures and herbs to these adopted grandchildren, and all of them had become much more amiable and even liked their adoptive grandfather. Leaving him behind also meant leaving behind the delicious and nutritious resources he owned.
"We have to part at some point, but we will meet again later." Bai Rouyun was somewhat exasperated as she looked at the sparkling eyes of her children. Although it was Xiao Bao who had spoken out, all of them looked at her with pitiful and hopeful expressions, trying to make it clear that they wanted to stay for some more time.
Xiao Bao and Xiao Jin had absorbed the most of the treasures, but it was also the two of them where you could see the least change. However, Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua had both undergone extreme changes.
Xiao Mao was a Cloud leopard, and they were usually limited by their bloodline. However, Yan Wenxiu had given it the blood essence of the Zheng beast, a leopard-like beast with five tails and a horn, which was known for its overwhelming power and fierceness.
The Zheng beast was not an ordinary leopard. The bloodline was much purer, and it was able to reach the same heights with its cultivation as even many humans could not.
Although Xiao Mao had not become a Zheng beast after consuming the blood essence, he had still gained a great boost in strength and talent. He had also grown a few extra tails, so that now he had three. Yan Wenxiu had said that the higher his cultivation grew, the more tails he would gain. When he had gotten five tails, he would have used the full potential of the consumed blood essence.
