Chapter 20: The Leopard's Kindness
The roar of the blue-eyed saber-toothed tiger stopped abruptly, the breath leaked out of the severed throat, and blood oozed from the cyan eyes, revealing incomprehension and unwillingness, the king of beasts struggled for a moment and finally fell.
Li Yao put away the knife, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at the red-dyed clothes with a disgusted expression: "This tiger blood is really smelly." Seeing that the tiger fell under his own knife, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart: "A little monk of the Yellow Realm killed a demon beast of the Xuan Realm, and he is still a powerful big insect, I'm afraid no one will believe it when he says it." Thinking of the hard battle just now, it was also a sigh, if it weren't for the demon tiger who put all his mind on dealing with the female leopard, his own knife would be ineffective, "Let's think about it, this trick is called cutting the tiger's head." ”
The moon worship leopard had crawled out from under the corpse of the blue-eyed saber-toothed tiger, and at this time it was already exerting more qi and less in, and it was difficult to drag its wounds towards its child. After trembling a few steps, he fell down, barely got up and continued, fell down again after two steps, got up again and fell again, and finally crawled forward little by little, dragging a bloody path on the ground. Li Yao couldn't bear it, so he ran to the female leopard and stopped it: "Don't move, I'll bring your child over." Without waiting for the female leopard to respond, Li Yao appeared next to the leopard in a flash.
The leopard was gray-black, furry, and not as black and shiny as its mother. Li Yao saw that the little leopard was the size of a calf when it was born, but its eyes had not yet opened, and it was screaming. Li Yao picked it up from behind, and the little leopard was a little longer than himself: "It looks strange and cute, I didn't expect it to be so heavy, I'm afraid it has more than 100 catties." Li Yao didn't dare to delay, so he trotted all the way to the female leopard with the little leopard in his arms and put it next to the female leopard. The baby pig instinctively burrowed into the mother's arms, followed by greedy sucking, and this was her first milk after birth. The female leopard propped up half of her body, lowered her head and licked the body of the little leopard, her eyes were full of the softness of maternal love, mixed with the reluctance to part.
Li Yao stood aside, looking at this warm scene, and muttered happily in his heart: "How do you say that word? It seems to be licking what calf and what affection, anyway, it almost means that." We've done a good thing. Just as he was about to leave, a weak voice stopped him: "Engong, please stay." ”
"Huh?" Li Yao looked at the female leopard in surprise: "Can you speak human language?"
"Our demon beasts have opened their spiritual wisdom, and when they reach a certain level of cultivation, they can speak human words, and if they reach a level of cultivation equivalent to your human heavenly realm, they can incarnate into human form. The female leopard gasped, apparently speaking also consumed a lot of her remaining physical strength: "Today, I have to be rescued by the graceful princess, and the concubine has nothing to repay......"
"Eh, you don't have to be so polite. Let's just pass by, and when we see that the tiger is not pleasing to the eye, we cut it down, so you don't have to worry about it. Li Yao couldn't stand being thanked by others, so she hurriedly excused herself.
"Kindness does not expect reciprocation, and it is naturally different from those treacherous and sinister human beings. But our demon beasts have always had revenge and revenge, and kindness must also be avenged. The female leopard showed a look of shame: "Engong saved our mother and son, even if you confess the Lord, it will be difficult to repay this kindness." It's just that the concubine is not long in life, not only can she not repay the favor, but she also has something to ask for the grace. After speaking, he looked at the little leopard in his arms.
Although the female leopard had not yet spoken, Li Yao knew what she was asking for: "Do you want me to help you take care of your child? Li Yao has always been most afraid of trouble, let herself be a mother to raise a little leopard, that is what you don't want to say, and looked down at her "flat" breasts, and sighed in her heart: The key is that we don't have milk!
Cultivators often take great pains to make demon beasts recognize their masters, and the best way is to find a young beast and raise it from an early age. For this reason, many sects will hunt and kill the mother beast at any cost, and take the young beast to raise it, which will become a great help on the path of cultivation. This moon worship spirit leopard is an extremely rare demon beast, and the bloodline grade is not low, even if it is placed in Tianzhou, it can be regarded as a strange commodity to live in. The female beast in front of her took the initiative to entrust her young son to Li Yao, but Li Yao was unwilling and troublesome. If this thing is to be spread, it is estimated that the spit from the people who scolded him can drown her.
The female leopard shook her head bitterly: "The concubine's body is too seriously injured to survive tonight, even if there is an elixir in front of her, it will be difficult to survive." ”
"Don't worry, we don't have anything else here, there are many elixirs, you eat first, it's really not good, let's think of other ways." Li Yao couldn't say anything, so he took out dozens of medicine boxes from his arms, opened them one by one, and displayed them in front of the female leopard.
The female leopard was frightened by this battle, and she didn't expect that this person would carry so much elixir, and finally a glimmer of hope was born in her heart. However, after reading it again, I could only let go of my yearning for life again: "If I can live, how can my concubine be willing to abandon my child." Although these elixirs are good, most of them can only promote cultivation, and although there are a few things that can cure diseases, they can't cure my mortal wounds. ”
Li Yao was quite frustrated when he heard this, and he took out so many elixirs, but none of them were available. She pestled aside, scratched her ears and cheeks, looked at the mother leopard, and then at the baby leopard, and her heart was entangled. Finally, she thought of something: "Why did I forget this baby, Mao Badao ate one and even lost the scar on his face, it must be excellent for healing." Li Yao hurriedly took out the box containing the pure heart and lotus seeds, took out the lotus seeds, peeled one out at a very fast speed, and threw it directly into its mouth without waiting for the female leopard to come to her senses.
Before the female leopard could see what it was, she felt an extremely rich aura spread out in her mouth, and the cool air flow surged all over her body, and the pain on her body weakened a little.
"This ...... What kind of elixir is this? It's so wonderful!" the female leopard had never heard of this elixir, and watched as the wounds on her body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the broken internal organs were slowly repairing.
"You're too big, you're too badly injured, and one isn't enough. Li Yao peeled another one and stuffed it into the mouth of the female leopard. Only then did the female leopard see that it was actually a lotus seed, and with its decades of cultivation experience, she knew that this lotus seed was probably beyond the scope of the elixir, and it could be regarded as an extremely rare treasure in this world.
In less than a stick of incense, all the wounds on the female leopard's body have healed, and the bites that were originally deep to the bone have been scarred, and even the postpartum weakness has been swept away. The little leopard had already eaten enough and fell asleep beautifully. The female leopard removed it from her arms, got up gently, looked at Mingyue with a decisive look, and then bowed her head to Li Yao and knelt on the ground: "Engong is above, please accept the concubine." ”
Li Yao panicked: "Get up, don't worship, we can't stand others to worship me." Don't be kind and gracious, just call me Li Yao. "I don't know what Li Yao says, no matter what Li Yao says, he still refuses to get up.
"Engong is a concubine, mother and son have the grace of life, and just now you did not hesitate to take out the magic medicine to save me, and this kindness is even more difficult to repay. The moon worship spirit leopard paused, and without waiting for Li Yao to speak, he suddenly said in a very solemn tone: "The moon god is a reference, the essence and blood are the basis, and the concubine Leopard Chan voluntarily recognizes the grace of Li Yao as the master, life and death go hand in hand, and never rebel!" After the oath was finished, he saw a little red light fly out from the forehead of the moon worship spirit leopard, and went straight to Li Yao's chest. Li Yao hurriedly dodged, but the red light seemed to have a spirit, and it disappeared when it turned around and landed on Li Yao's chest.
"Oh, what are you doing! I said I don't want you to repay any favors, you person, no, why are you so tough?" Li Yao was so anxious that he was about to cry, thinking that he would take such a big leopard with him wherever he went in the future, it was too eye-catching, and it was difficult to sneak into something bad.
The moon worship spirit leopard didn't know Li Yao's thoughts, thinking that she was worried that this oath was harmful, so she hurriedly explained: "Don't panic, lord, this is the natal essence blood of the concubine's body, and it is only beneficial and harmless to you." Just now, the concubine made an oath to recognize her master as a slave, and this oath is unilateral, whether the lord accepts it now or not, this oath has been established. The future life and death of the concubine are in the master's hands. ”
"I don't want to control your life and death, we are all free people, what kind of slaves should we be! If you really want to repay the favor, just give me some natural treasures. ”
"If the Lord wants treasures, the concubine has some, and she will take them for the Lord later. It's just that this contract has been completed, but it is not something that the concubine can dissolve. If the lord really doesn't want to take the concubine as a slave, and when he cultivates to be taller than the concubine in the future, he can force this drop of natal essence blood out of the body and return it to the concubine. "Most of the monsters are innocent, and they don't know how to tell lies. Li Yao tried to feel the drop of essence blood that fell into his heart, and sure enough, he could easily sense the location, mind, cultivation and other states of the moon worship spirit leopard through it, and the other party's life and death were also in his own thoughts, but if he wanted to force this drop of essence blood out of his body, he couldn't do anything: "Hey, we also obeyed you." But we also have to say okay, you can't follow me, it's really inconvenient to take you with you. Besides, your child is still young, and you have to stay and take care of it. ”
"Don't be anxious, Lord, since you have confessed the Lord today, it is natural that it is all sent by the Lord. Since the Lord does not need a concubine now, the concubine will stay and take care of the child, and when he can stand on his own feet in a few years, and the concubine can almost incarnate into a human form, he will come alone to accompany the Lord. ”
Li Yao saw that this moon worship spirit leopard was quite smart, and he thought about it so properly, so he couldn't shirk it again: "Okay, it's up to you." Your name is Leopard Cicada, I will call you Sister Cicada in the future, my name is Li Yao, you can call me Xiaoyao. ”
Although the demon beast does not follow the rules like humans, the distinction between master and servant cannot be messed up: "It doesn't matter how the lord calls the concubine, but the concubine doesn't dare to call the lord's name." The leopard cicada glanced at her sleeping child, and immediately changed her words: "The concubine has not yet chosen a name." His life was saved by the Lord, and I hope the Lord will give him a name. ”
Choosing a name is the most nerve-wracking, Li Yao is a little big when he listens to it, but since people let themselves help choose a name, it is all kinds of trust, and they can't help but shirk it. After pondering for a moment, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky: "Since it was born on the night of the full moon, what do you think of the name Yue'er?"
The leopard cicada smiled: "He's a boy." ”
Li Yao was a little embarrassed: "I didn't pay attention to it just now, so do you want to change it?"
Leopard Cicada smiled: "I can't change it, this name is already the best." We moon worshippers worship the moon as a god, and the Lord gives the name of the moon, which is the greatest blessing for my children. In the future, he will be called Leopard Moon, Leopard Moon Hug Moon, and Hug Moon in his arms, which is really a good name. Unexpectedly, the lord not only excelled in martial arts, but also had such outstanding literary talents, and the concubine thanked the lord for giving her a good name on behalf of Yue'er. ”
How could Li Yao withstand such praise, haha smiled: "You're polite, you're polite, hahahaha......"
"Lord, you wait here for a while, and the concubine will go and fetch something. ”
Li Yao was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that the leopard cicada must be taking the treasure for himself, and he was not reserved, so he agreed. I saw the leopard cicada pick up the sleeping leopard moon, jumped up, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared in an instant: "It's so fast, if I don't use space to jump, I won't be able to beat her." ”
While waiting for the leopard cicada to return, Li Yao walked to the side of the blue-eyed saber-toothed tiger and looked around the hill-like corpse: "The skin, flesh, bones and blood of the Xuanjing Demon Beast are all treasures, and such a big size will definitely be able to sell for a good price." With a slight wave of his left hand, the entire blue-eyed saber-toothed tiger was collected into Li Yao's stomach like a trick.
