Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 4890: Meeting again
Chapter 4890: Meeting again
Yue’er looked down from the tree. He had placed her high up, and as she gazed downward, she could only make out vague shapes through the dense foliage. Below, Xiao Junyan, sword in hand, attacked the fierce beast that had lunged at him.
She had initially wondered if this man was weak. But witnessing his unrestrained attack, she realized he wasn’t weak at all—he was formidable. Judging by his skill and prowess, he likely surpassed even her Big Brother!
It made sense. He was several years older than her Big Brother, so being more skilled was natural. But who could say that her two brothers wouldn’t surpass him someday?
The beasts’ agonized screams and roars echoed through the forest, while the scent of blood spread on the wind. Watching from her perch in the trees, Yue’er saw Xiao Junyan below handling the beasts with ease. She immediately suppressed her aura and slipped away silently.
She wasn’t a true member of the Xiao family. If the men he summoned brought her back to the Xiao residence, who knew if she might be killed? At least in this forest, no fierce beast could harm her. Once the little fox’s spirit energy recovered, perhaps it could carry her away from here.
She still wanted to see her Mother!
After Xiao Junyan dealt with the fierce beasts, he gathered his strength to climb the tree and bring the little one down. But when he reached the top, he discovered the creature he’d left there was gone!
“Slipped away?” He frowned, scanning the surroundings. How had that little thing vanished without a sound?
Recalling how the little one had secretly followed him out, and how he’d told her family members were coming to take her back… She must have slipped away because she didn’t want to be taken back.
Thinking of how tiny she was, and how this place was filled with unknown dangers, if she encountered a fierce beast, that little thing could be swallowed whole in one bite.
Without hesitation, he mounted his sword and soared into the sky, searching for the little doll’s trace…
After slipping away from the tree, Yue’er wandered through the forest. Having stayed here for several days, she rarely needed to fight the fierce beasts. Whenever she released the ancient Sacred Beast’s aura from her body, those beasts would avoid her like the plague.
Humming an unknown little tune, she swung a branch picked up from somewhere, her steps light and brisk. Since leaving the great tree, she had been using the Swift Stride technique. In just a short while, she had covered a considerable distance, so she needn’t worry about being caught by Xiao Junyan.
Arriving beneath a tree, she paused to rest. Glancing around, she leapt up to perch on a branch, pulling a fruit from her spatial pouch to eat while dangling her legs in midair.
The tree’s foliage was dense, and her small frame made her nearly invisible when silent and still.
After eating a fruit, Yue’er yawned. Seeing the sun blazing overhead while the tree provided shade and a cool breeze, she found a comfortable spot in the branches and fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she’d slept when the sounds of combat in the forest roused her. Opening her eyes, she saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen being attacked by two lion-like beasts of Sacred Beast rank. Though covered in wounds, he gritted his teeth and fought on.
Sitting up to observe more closely, she confirmed the attackers were indeed two Sacred Beast-level lions. Yet several other lions circled nearby, watching intently as if guarding against their prey escaping. Among them stood one lion—a peak Sacred Beast-level lion.
