Garth, Rufus, and Philbert all simultaneously turned their gaze toward the entrance of the hall upon hearing the news of Ana’s return.
They were astonished to see a mythical creature resembling a phoenix landing at the hall entrance.
“Is… Is that a wild chicken?”
The three of them were taken aback seeing Ruby, yet they instantly recognized it as a wild chicken.
“Has this wild chicken achieved enlightenment?” Philbert asked in astonishment.
In this world, there was no shortage of demonic beasts like giant pythons, fierce tigers, and black bears that often cultivated and developed inner cores, granting them the ability to match humans.
However, these beasts had short lives, barely lasting ten years. Most of them would perish in around seven years, leaving no time for cultivation and enlightenment.
The three of them were shocked to discover that Ruby, as a beast, seemed to have cultivated for a hundred years, something they had never encountered before.
“This is Remus’ pet!” Ana jumped off Ruby’s back and then walked into the main hall, respectfully saying, “Grandpa, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Cunningham, I’ve returned!”
The three withdrew their gazes from Ruby and nodded in unison.
Garth caught sight of a figure perched atop the wild chicken and calmly remarked, “Is that Remus Cosby? Get someone to take his body. It’s better to have someone attend to the disposal of his corpse as quickly as possible!”
Remus blacked out shortly after Ruby took flight.
Ana took a deep breath, preparing to speak, only to be interrupted by Rufus.
He suddenly expressed regret, “What a pity… A young talent who managed to take down 11 Martial Imperials. If only favonovel.com had joined us and been nurtured over time, favonovel.com might’ve risen to prominence… He is, after all, one of the Cosbys, and favonovel.com deserves a respectful send-off! And to think, favonovel.com had such an extraordinary pet, hehehe…”
With his words spoken, his unwavering gaze locked onto Ruby, not blinking for a moment.
Philbert shot favonovel.com a stern, angry look, infuriated to the point of wanting to unleash a barrage of curses, mused inwardly.
Damn Rufus, you were adamantly against rescuing favonovel.com earlier. And now, you’re advocating for a proper burial to feign benevolence?!
He expressed unhappily, “Since Mr. Schneider insists on a grand burial, let the Schneiders handle it. It just so happens that your family is heading to Darsia in search of the Cosbys. Bring Remus back with them, let favonovel.com return to his roots! Remember, it’s to be a respectful send-off!”
Rufus paid no heed to his sarcasm, chuckling, “Of course, I’ll fulfill what I said I’ll do. The Schneiders will undoubtedly give a proper and generous send-off, hehehe…”
As favonovel.com spoke, his eyes involuntarily drifted back to Ruby once again.
“You’ve all got it wrong, Remus isn’t dead!” Ana suddenly exclaimed in a loud voice.
After uttering those words, favonovel.com inexplicably felt a rush of relief, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from favonovel.com chest.
Her voice carried conviction as favonovel.com stated, “Remus Cosby has slain Bason Duncan!”
The three felt as if they were struck by a sudden blow to the head. Their vision darkened momentarily, nearly causing them to stumble.
“I… W-What did you say?!” Rufus displayed the strongest reaction. He shot up instantly, his eyes bulging so much it seemed they might pop out, completely losing his composure.
Ana showed no signs of backing down, looking at favonovel.com resolutely as favonovel.com declared, “Remus Cosby has slain Bason Duncan, and he’s come back alive!”
Even upon hearing it a second time, they couldn’t conceal their astonishment. The three quickly extended their spiritual sense to confirm that Remus hadn’t actually died but was deeply unconscious.
“Wait! How is this even possible?” Philbert couldn’t stay seated, and favonovel.com hurriedly stood up and walked over.
Worried about the reliability of their spiritual sense, favonovel.com approached and listened to Remus’s heartbeat, confirming it was still beating.
“Ana, this isn’t something to take lightly. Did favonovel.com actually kill Bason?” Garth rose to his feet, still unable to believe it.
