Chapter 720: No Attachments

Su Zimo’s gaze was gradually fixed on a black-robed man in the crowd.

The man looked very young and had a sharp face with a cold expression. His gaze was as deep as the sea and he could not be read.

Although the black-robed man was neither tall, short nor muscular, his body gave off a feeling of agility, nimbleness and strength!

It was as though the man did not have a single piece of flesh or muscle that was excess.

The man stood on the spot motionlessly and seemed relaxed. However, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that he would be the first to react should anything happen!

Extremely dangerous!

Su Zimo could count with the fingers on one hand how many demon beasts of the same level could give him this feeling.

The black-robed man stared at Su Zimo fearlessly and calmly.

The glint in Su Zimo’s eyes intensified.

The eyes of the black-robed man turned deeper as well.

As their gazes met, a shuddering murderous aura spread through the air and monkey and the others felt their fur stand on end!

Against that pressure, everyone went silent instinctively with bated breath.

Just as everyone could barely withstand it, Su Zimo smiled and asked, “Night Spirit?”

There was finally some expression on the black-robed man’s face as he strode quickly before Su Zimo. Although his lips were pursed and he did not speak, he could not conceal the emotions and longing in his eyes.

“Hahahaha!”

Su Zimo burst into laughter and patted Night Spirit on the shoulder while nodding. “Thank you for taking care of Xiaoning for all these years.”

“It’s only right.”

Night Spirit spoke with a firm voice that resounded like metal.

Initially, Su Zimo did not dare to acknowledge Night Spirit since he did not emanate any demonic qi at all.

For ordinary demon beasts such as monkey and the others, although they could take on human form and speak in human tongue at Golden Core realm, they would inevitably emit demonic qi.

Cultivators could recognize them right away after unlocking their spirit eyes.

For demons, they would have to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm and refine an Essence Spirit before they can hide their demonic qi completely!

However, Night Spirit had a mysterious background and frightening bloodline – he must have awakened the legacy in his bloodline by now.

He must have inherited some secret skill that allowed him to conceal his demonic qi at the Golden Core realm!

In other words, nobody could expose Night Spirit even if he were to hide within cultivators!

“Huh? You’re Little Night Spirit?”

Monkey approached with curiosity and circled around Night Spirit, murmuring, “Not bad, although your body is rather skinny, it does seem rather strong.”

“You’ve changed so much! We couldn’t even recognize you in your human form!”

The spirit tiger’s eyes narrowed and he approached as well, sniffing and touching Night Spirit all around.

“Little Night Spirit, do you remember me? I’m Little Crane! I brought you the milk of so many demon beasts and even brought you out to play! You must have been picky with your food again, look how skinny you are!”

Qing Qing came over and rubbed Night Spirit on the cheeks with her slender hands as well.

His initially cold face was squeezed into odd shapes that looked amusing.

Monkey could not help but grab around as well while grinning.

There were many hands roaming around Night Spirit’s body.

Night Spirit could only roll his eyes in exasperation.

Su Zimo could not hide his smile.

Monkey, the spirit tiger and Little Crane once watched Night Spirit grow up and went out to hunt for food for him. None of them ever complained even if they were injured all over.

If it was anybody else, they would be rendered a corpse before they even approached Night Spirit, much less touch him on the body!

The four of them were delighted after their long awaited reunion and played together without caring about what anybody else thought.

Of course, Night Spirit loved to be quiet and was basically motionless.

Most of the time, it was the spirit tiger and Qing Qing who were snickering merrily.

Little Fox stood at the side and a hint of envy flashed through her eyes.

“Yes, he’s indeed just a cub without any temper and is easy to bully,”

The Golden Lion sized Night Spirit up and thought to himself, “I’ll let him have a taste of my power later on so that he’ll know what’s good for him and be Seventh obediently!”

He felt that among the seven of them sworn siblings, he had a noble bloodline and extraordinary combat strength. Yet, how was he ranked as the seventh sibling at the end of the day?

The Golden Lion was indignant!

“Right,”

The spirit tiger recalled something and patted Night Spirit on the shoulder. “Let me tell you, we’ve become sworn siblings and we’ve included you as well.”

“This is First,”

He pointed to Su Zimo then at monkey. “This is Second. I, Hu Batian, am Third. Qing Qing is your Fourth sister and you’re Fifth.”

“Yes,”

Night Spirit seemed nonchalant regarding it.

Even without vowing to be sworn siblings, he viewed Su Zimo and the others as kin.

He was even less bothered about the rankings.

“You’re not the youngest, you’ve got a sister and brother beneath you!”

Qing Qing snickered. “This is Foxy, she’s from the fox race and she’s Sixth. She’s your younger sister so you’ve got to take care of her in the future.”

“Hello, Brother Night Spirit.”

Little Fox greeted obediently.

Night Spirit nodded.

He was cold by nature and knew nothing about Little Fox at all. It was already a warm greeting for him to nod his head.

“You don’t have to worry about that,”

The spirit tiger waved his huge hand. “Foxy is close with First and nobody can hurt her with him protecting her.”

Night Spirit looked between Su Zimo and Little Fox.

“You’re spouting nonsense again,”

Little Fox said softly with flushed cheeks.

Monkey pointed to the Golden Lion at the side and said, “That’s Seventh and he’s your younger brother from the Golden Lion race.”

The Golden Lion walked over in huge strides with a smile on his face, greeting passionately, “Brother Night Spirit, although this is the first time we’re meeting, I feel as though I’ve known you for a long time! Shall we go somewhere else and get to know one another better?”

“Alright,”

Night Spirit looked at the Golden Lion indifferently and nodded.

He could naturally sense the Golden Lion’s hostility and took advantage of the flow.

The Golden Lion was delighted when Night Spirit agreed to it, yelling, “Brother Night Spirit, follow me!”

The Golden Lion headed towards his own cultivation room.

Night Spirit followed soon after.

Monkey, the spirit tiger and Qing Qing acted as though nothing was wrong and did not stop them, as though they were not bothered by what was happening.

Su Zimo could not sit by idly and coughed gently, whispering beside Night Spirit, “Be gentler, he’s your younger brother after all…”

Night Spirit nodded.

Bam!

The doors of the cultivation room were bolted dead!

Monkey, the spirit tiger and Qing Qing jumped on the spot and looked at the cultivation room far away with excited, gloating expressions.

The spirit tiger said deeply, “That stupid lion’s going to last for 15 minutes!”

Qing Qing said, “100 breaths at most!”

Monkey said, “30!”

Boom!

Before their words were finished, there was a loud bang from the cultivation room!

The next moment, the doors were pushed open with a creak.

Night Spirit walked out with a calm expression.

Behind him, on the iron door of the cultivation chamber, the Golden Lion’s entire body was stuck on it, sunken in.

A human-shaped dent was caved in the solid iron door!

The Golden Lion had a stumped expression and a lost gaze as sparkling tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes – he no longer had any attachments towards living…
