Chapter 349 Meeting An Old Friend

After the gryphons had chased her for so long, the woman finally felt very tired, and she leaned against a large tree while looking at the beasts that had surrounded her from all sides.

The woman gritted her teeth, took out a long spear, and gripped it tightly. ‘Fuck! This is really not funny! I managed to escape from the pursuit of those damn people, but now I’m falling into the hands of these damn gryphons!”

As the woman thought that, her heart suddenly thumped hard. She looked up at the sky as she felt something approaching them really fast.

Even those gryphons also looked up at the sky, they made strange noises as they continued to flap their wings, but it was obvious that they were trembling with fear.

*boom*

A loud explosion occurred between the woman and those gryphons. Dust and dirt scattered everywhere.

“Long time no see, Zoe.”

Zoe, the lamia, was stunned by the voice and recognized it. Somehow, she was relieved to hear the voice, but she frowned when she saw the man figure standing between them, not recognizing his face. “Who are you? I know your voice, but I have never seen your face.”

“It’s me-”

“Is she your woman too, Husband?” Ling Yu’er asked teasingly as she landed beside Ling Yun; she looked at Zoe. “She’s pretty! No wonder you were in such a hurry to save her.”

At first, Ling Yu’er was training Yun Mingyue and Ling Xiya, but Ling Yun suddenly came to them and took them flying without telling them anything.

Ling Xiya and Yun Mingyue also looked at Zoe seriously, especially seeing that her lower body was a snake body.

‘Husband?’ Zoe inwardly wondered, but she also admired Ling Yu’er’s beauty, which made her feel inferior. She then raised her eyebrows when she saw Yun Mingyue, recognized her identity as a demon, and her aura stifled her bloodline.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly, then he said to Zoe. “It’s me, Mo Chen.”

“Are you really Mo Chen? Your voice is indeed his voice, but your face is different from him.” Zoe asked doubtfully.

Ling Yun chuckled and transformed himself into Mo Chen’s figure. “Do you believe me now? Back then, you said you’d see me again soon, but you never showed up.”

Zoe was dumbfounded after seeing that. Even Ling Yu’er, Ling Xiya, and Yun Mingyue were also dumbfounded at his appearance, especially since Mo Chen’s form was more mature and handsome than Ling Yun’s true form.

Moments later, Zoe returned to her senses, ran to hug Ling Yun, and cried loudly. “Sob… Mo Chen! I thought that I would never be able to see you again.”

Ling Yun immediately hugged her back and rubbed her back gently. “What are you doing here? I thought you were still in your country.”

Ling Yu’er puffed her cheeks and pouted her lips, seeing them embracing each other like that, then she said while pointing at those gryphons lying on the ground and trembling in fear. “Could you two stop your reunion first? What are we going to do with them?”

Ling Yun immediately let go of Zoe from his embrace and turned towards the gryphons. Upon seeing them, his eyes immediately lit up, and a mischievous smile appeared. “Gryphons, huh?”

“Do you intend to tame any of them?” Ling Xi asked as she hovered above them.

“En.” Ling Yun nodded and opened his system shop.

Ling Yun sighed after reading that; he felt that all beast-related items and techniques were costly, but he decided to buy all of them.

Ling Yun felt that he would need all of them later, and he was aware that he couldn’t rely on Ling Xi forever.

After seeing that, Ling Xi smiled in satisfaction, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to help him, but she wanted Ling Yun to act like a real cultivator.

“What do you want to do with them?” Ling Yu’er was still curious, especially after Ling Yun had been silent for a long time.

Ling Yun looked at her and smiled. “Since Xiya is a marksman, and I think they will be useful to her, I want to tame one for her.”

“Eh?” Ling Xiya was surprised to hear that, but she also felt happy in her heart.

Ling Yu’er and Zoe were taken aback by his words. This was the first time they had heard of a cultivator wanting to tame a gryphon, especially since they were notorious for being wild and unruly.

As for Yun Mingyue, she felt no interest in those gryphons, and she looked down on them because her bloodline was superior to theirs.

However, Ling Yu’er remembered that Ling Yun possessed the Primordial Chaos Dragon Bloodline, so it should be easy for him to tame one of them, especially since they seemed frightened by his presence. “Which one do you want to tame?”

“Hmm?” Ling Yun scanned those gryphons individually, then pointed at the small one at the back. “That one!”

The female white gryphon that Ling Yun pointed at, stared at her; she became increasingly fearful and wanted to fly out of place immediately. Unfortunately, the fear from his aura overtook her, rendering her unable to move. 𝓫𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

They were again taken aback by Ling Yun’s choice, and Ling Yu’er teased him. “You chose that white gryphon just because it’s a female, right? So you also want a female gryphon as your harem?”

“Cough!” Ling Yun was choked hard by her teasing. “Since Xiya is a woman, there’s no way I’d pick a male gryphon for her, right?”

“Well, that’s true.” Ling Yu’er nodded in agreement, but she then burst out laughing. “There are two phoenixes, two foxes, one cat, and one infernal bird, and now you want to add a gryphon.”

Ling Yu’er then turned and pointed at Zoe. “Oh, I forgot to add a snake here.”

Zoe was stunned by Ling Yu’er’s words, and her face reddened. However, she was also shocked by her words, especially since Ling Yun had so many women; some were phoenixes.

Ling Yun just shook his head helplessly, pulled Ling Xiya before the white gryphon, and asked her. “Can you understand me?”

Philia nodded at him, but her body was still shaking with fear.

“That’s good.” Ling Yun said softly and caressed Philia’s head. “I want you to be Xiya’s contract beast, but you don’t have to be afraid; we will treat you well.”

Philia didn’t answer him immediately and turned to look at the other gryphons, and they nodded vigorously at her. They were frightened by Ling Yun’s dragon aura and feared that he would kill them if she refused him.

Seeing her family members were terrified of being killed by Ling Yun, Philia nodded resignedly at him, and he smiled with satisfaction at that.

“Hey, Ling Yun! Xiya can just use the Normal Contract Technique on him.” Ling Xi told him.

Ling Yun nodded and touched Ling Xiya’s forehead, and he imparted the Normal Contract Technique to her.

After a while, Ling Xiya pressed her forehead against Philia’s, and she used the Normal Contract Technique on her.

Before long, a white light appeared on their foreheads, and two symbols appeared on their respective foreheads, indicating that the contract between them was established.

“Hehe! Thank you, Brother! I finally have a beast contract!” Ling Xiya said as she hugged Philia.

“What are you thanking me for?” Ling Yun then turned to those gryphons. “All of you can go, and you guys don’t have to worry about her.”

Those gryphons were relieved to hear Ling Yun telling them to leave, and they turned to Philia one last time before they flew away.

After those gryphons left, the three women immediately approached them and petted her fur.

“What’s her name, Brother?”

“Philia, that’s her name.”

Ling Xiya smiled and hugged Philia even tighter. “Starting today, we will be partners and hunt together, okay?

Philia nodded at her, and she was relieved they didn’t mistreat her.

After that, Ling Yun brought Zoe to where he had been hunting before. Ling Yu’er brought Yun Mingyue with her to train her.

On the other hand, Ling Xiya was riding on Pihilia’s back, and they were hunting beasts from the air.

With Ling Xiya’s shooting ability and Philia’s flying ability, they were indeed a perfect match.

“Anyway, you haven’t told me how you ended up in this forest, Zoe.” Ling Yun curiously asked. Moreover, he had not seen her for a long time, and the last time she said she would see him again soon, but she never showed up.
