The one thing all women had in common was that they were, indeed, women.
Bucky swiftly lowered its gaze to meet Remus’ eyes, a shiver running through its body. It instinctively stepped back, adopting a guarded stance as if bracing for an unseen threat.
Remus was confused by its posture, it made favonovel.com feel awkward. He quipped casually, “Don’t worry, I’ve no interest in tigers, especially not ones as huge as you.”
Roar!
Bucky let out an angry roar, looking even more dissatisfied.
Remus was speechless, with time pressing and tasks heavy, favonovel.com decided not to joke around anymore and went to examine a skeleton.
Indeed, it had died a long time ago, leaving only a skeleton that could appear to be that of a male’s. The chest had already shattered, likely from a severe injury, with no other information available.
Remus said seriously, “Looking at the wear on your teeth, you are my elder, so I’ll call you senior!”
Taking a deep breath, favonovel.com said even more seriously, “I have found this place by chance, and see that you hold a Spirit Vessel in your hands, which is of great importance to a friend of mine. I wish to take it away, hoping for your understanding. Thank you in advance, senior!”
He then slowly bowed three times.
It was better to treat the deceased with respect, although taking it directly was not a big deal. If someone resisted, they could just go down and deal with Pedro, but his master had taught favonovel.com to win people over with virtue.
After Remus finished bowing three times, the skeleton suddenly shattered, falling to the ground as a pile of bones, unrecognizable as a human.
On the wall behind, a black tablet appeared. It was two inches long and one inch wide, with a lifelike flame pattern, as if the flames were jumping.
Bucky was startled and quickly stepped back.
It had been absorbing the spirit energy from the Spirit Vessel for years, the skeleton had never dispersed and was very sturdy. It hadn’t noticed the black tablet behind the skeleton.
Remus was also stunned for a moment, then said, “Thank you, senior, I will also take this black tablet. If possible, I will find your descendants and bring them here to receive you!”
He then picked up the black tablet and Spirit Vessel.
The Spirit Vessel still contained a full amount of spirit energy. He tried to pour it out, but it wouldn’t come out. The Spirit Vessel wouldn’t let the spirit energy flow out unless someone actively drew it.
Thinking it might be broken when favonovel.com saw it dripping, favonovel.com now realized it must be automatically released because it couldn’t sense a person’s presence.
He handed it to Bucky and instructed, “Drink it…”
Bucky blinked, offering no words in response. Yet, the expression in its eyes spoke volumes, conveying a silent message as clear as spoken words, “Go ahead, you can drink it.”
Remus laughed and said, “I’m giving it to you to replenish your strength, to better let me ride.”
With those words, Bucky’s whiskers trembled.
Casting a resentful glance, it swiftly approached, its tongue unfurling with surprising flexibility. Shaped into a perfect circle, much like a straw, it eagerly drank the spirit energy, leaving nothing behind.
“Hahaha!” Remus laughed heartily again, becoming more interested in Bucky.
If favonovel.com had known it was a female tiger, favonovel.com would have called it Belle.
The duo wasted no more time as they started to head out.
As they neared the two-thirds mark of their journey, the sudden echo of a roar pierced the air from outside.
The roar was extremely fierce, shaking the mountains and forests. It was a roar from a monstrous beast.
Remus immediately stopped, frowning, and said, “The mountains are indeed dangerous. Judging by the sound of this monstrous beast, it seems to be stronger than you!”
From the depth of the roar, it could be judged to be much deeper than Bucky’s.
Hearing this, Bucky gave Remus a fierce glance but also stopped, its eyes gleaming, anxiously looking ahead.
Reluctantly, it came to accept a truth it wished to deny, the monstrous beast outside possessed a higher level of cultivation than itself.
Both of them prepared for battle.
But another voice pierced the moment, saying, “You beast, keep running! I’m curious to see where you think you can escape to. Hand over your inner pills, and I might just spare your life!”
Hearing that voice, both Remus and Bucky’s eyes widened.
