Although I am ugly, I am gentle

"Why is my elder brother's fur being used as your padding?!"

The burly man, tall as a tower, bellowed in a low voice. The fierce light shooting out of his pupils startled Duke.

That bear who he had just killed was this iron tower-like man's elder brother?

Got it wrong!

Wait, wait!

Duke suddenly recalled something he had heard before - the Qingxuan Sect Master and the other martial artists called Jia and Jiapojie he had met earlier also mentioned something.

They were chasing a barbarian who was raised by wild beasts in the mountains, and the beast who raised him was a bear.

In other words, this towering and burly man before him was that barbarian being chased by everyone, the fuse that attracted many martial artists to Steaming Cloud Mountain?

Damn it!

Realizing this, Duke shuddered. He had just escaped from the tiger's den, how could he bump into such a lone wolf again?

But now a lot of things he didn't understand made sense.

No wonder when he cleaned up the blood sprayed out by the badger he killed, that bear still came over there and trapped them in the tree hollow.

That bear wasn't just wandering around or attracted by the smell of the badger's blood. It was attracted by that Blood Essence Pellet at the second level of cultivation.

In other words, this barbarian must have been feeding cultivation pills obtained from martial artists to that bear for a long time.

Otherwise, a forest-born bear would not have reacted that way after eating the Blood Essence Pellet.

Moreover, the intelligence demonstrated by that bear was already close to that of an aberration or demonic beast.

In summary, it was very likely that the bear he pits and killed was another cub raised by the "bear mother" of this barbarian before him.

This barbarian was also carrying the Beast Transformation Grass that could make beasts understand human speech.

Now it seemed that the grass was prepared for that bear.

He had wanted to catch his breath here and habitually took out the bear fur to pad himself. But the lingering smell on the fur also attracted this guy over.

Thinking of this, Duke freaked out inwardly.

What were the odds that so many coincidences would make him run into this!

Why was reality even more absurd than fiction!

"Speak!"

Bear Aman roared again. "Why was my elder brother's fur with you? What happened to my elder brother?"

Facing Bear Aman's questioning, Duke's face stiffened, but he still tilted his head to reveal an ingratiating smile and waved his paws while meowing.

Seeing Duke trying to bluff his way through this, the pupils in Bear Aman's eyes quickly filled with blood.

"I'll tear you apart!"

The moment his fan-sized palm fell towards Duke, Duke also quickly jumped up from the ground.

At the same time, he didn't forget to push the puppy aside.

Knocked sideways by the cat, little Harry tumbled aside clumsily while the cat also leapt high into the air, his figure disappearing into the air.

Boom!

The heavy fist struck down like a cannonball, instantly shattering the ground, squeezing and stacking the soil downwards to form an impact crater. At the same time, the bear skin pads were also shattered instantly by the force.

As the fragments of bear fur pads fluttered around, the blood color in Bear Aman's pupils grew even richer.

"Elder brother!"

Just as Bear Aman, roaring like a bear, bellowed out, Duke's staggering body also shook as he reappeared, no longer invisible.

This roar made Duke's head feel like it was smashed by a huge hammer.

A buzzing sound exploded in his brain, followed by an irresistible dizziness.

That's not all. Blood also burst out of the cat's mouth as his inner qi and blood surged upwards, clearly injured by the impact of the roar.

"Damn..."

With a blurred vision and constant buzzing in his ears, the dizzy Duke complained bitterly: "How could I be so unlucky?"

"Why do I have to run into this kind of shit!"

Seeing the cat reappear, Bear Aman, who had just roared Duke out of his invisibility, strode towards him directly.

The heavy footsteps made the pebbles on the ground tremble and jump.

"Tell me!" Bear Aman reached out his palm towards Duke. "What exactly happened to my elder brother?"

Duke opened his eyes with difficulty and the swaying figure in front of him gradually approached. The cat spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Screw your granny! I was the one who killed him, so what?"

As the resentment rose in his heart, Duke also let out a shrill cat cry.

The cries were shrill and filled with anger and killing intent.

And a faint inexplicable aura also began to emanate from Duke's body. Although weak, it was still aroused.

Having lived with beasts since childhood, Bear Aman was very clear on the meaning conveyed by the roars and cries of beasts.

Sensing the implication contained in Duke's roar, Bear Aman snorted out a wisp of hot air.

"I'll stomp you to death!"

Lifting his foot, Bear Aman aligned it with Duke. At this time, little Harry Thirteen also struggled to stand up and stumbled to Duke's side, barking loudly at Bear Aman.

"Woof woof woof!"

"Ruff ruff woof!"

Hearing the roars from this half-grown puppy, a fierce look flashed across Bear Aman's eyes.

"Crush you both!"

"What did you say you want to crush?"

As the hoarse voice sounded, Bear Aman froze. Before he could act, a freakish hand had pulled his head off his neck.

The huge body stiffened on the spot as the uneven slit on his neck gushed blood, spewing crimson liquid three feet into the air.

The spattered blood dripped down, dyeing the fur of little Harry Thirteen and Duke red.

At the same time, an enormous figure also appeared in front of Duke. In his hand he was gripping Bear Aman's ferocious severed head.

"I was just about to come over and take a look because I sensed demonic fluctuations here. Never expected me to show up right on time!"

The mysterious figure had a hoarse, unpleasant voice, but the look in his eyes as he gazed at Duke was gentle.

He threw Bear Aman's head aside and picked up the injured Duke from the ground. As the bloodstained freakish hand gently stroked Duke's fur, Duke also sensed an indescribable cooling sensation penetrating his internal organs.

The impact of the roar had damaged the cat's internal organs. He vomited fragments of flesh and blood.

The weird figure who had just killed someone also gently said, "Spit it out, that's it. Spit it out."

"This barbarian was using the warriors' sound wave skill. At great mastery, one can kill enemies from a distance with sound waves. You're just a little guy whose internal organs were damaged. Your cultivation base isn't bad, far above your peers."

As Duke's senses gradually recovered, he opened his eyes and saw an azure blue face right in front of him.

Not only that, his head was swollen and bumpy, as if layered with mountains. His hair was fiery red like cinnabar, and his huge fangs could stop a crying child at night.

This was a night fiend that existed only in legends!

Seeing the night fiend's face clearly, Duke shuddered. What had saved him?

"It's okay, don't worry!"

The night fiend gently said, while also stroking Duke's fur.

"Alas, little one, you haven't officially started cultivation or stayed in your cat clan's main base. How did you end up here?"

"This isn't a place you should have come! You should know that Steaming Cloud Mountain is a banquet spot that Bai specially reserved to reward all the blood demons. "

"You're just a weasel that has barely developed demonic energy. How did you get here?"

"Hmm!" As he stroked Duke's fur, the night fiend suddenly paused, seemingly discovering something. Lifting Duke's chin, the night fiend stared at Duke's golden eyes, his own brows shooting up.

"Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian practice?"

Seeing this reaction from the night fiend, Duke couldn't help but smile crookedly, using his signature head tilt slay.

Since there was no way to resist, maybe he could still try to bluff his way through!

It should work... right?

But Duke didn't expect that as soon as he made the expression for his head tilt slay, the night fiend's whole body began to tremble. With flaring nostrils, steam and white smoke even started billowing from the top of his head. Duke's fur also stood on ends as he felt like he was standing at the mouth of a volcano about to erupt.

"Sorry... scared... scared you!"

The trembling night fiend put Duke down and forcefully clenched his fists, stomping the ground.

Stepping down with one foot, the night fiend left behind a huge pit in the ground. Witnessing this, Duke's heart lurched violently.

Isn't this yaksha crazy?!

Yet who would have thought, this yaksha was actually squatting down excitedly towards Duke, reaching out his hand, looking like he wanted to touch but didn't dare touch, seemingly afraid of frightening Duke.

Du ke blinked, upon seeing Du ke's appearance, the yaksha immediately covered his own heart, his breathing once again becoming hurried.

This guy...

Du ke's eyes blinked again. Thirteen also came to Du ke's side, vigilantly looking towards the yaksha, afraid the yaksha would do something detrimental against Du ke.

Yet the yaksha still had that unrestrained, extremely excited appearance.

In the end, the yaksha let out a cheerful loud laugh!

"Hahahahaha!"

"Brother Qin, you said no matter how I try to show goodwill with my ugly appearance, there still wouldn't be a cat that would smile at me!"

"Yet now, not only did a cat smile at me, it's one of the four great spiritual cats of your fame, Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian!!"

"You thief, could you have thought of this?"

"Hahaha!"

"I'm extremely elated today!!"

Amidst the yaksha's unrestrained delighted laughter, a different kind of realization emerged in Du ke's heart.

This red-haired, blue-faced, huge fanged yaksha, seemed, possibly, probably, estimated, should be a cat lover.

Hmm, it's still I'm very fierce yet also gentle, that kind of extremely contrasting obsessive fanatic!
