The Ninth Sister is a Prodigious Beast Master

Chapter 1520: Chapter 1520: There Are No Weaklings By My Side

After dashing two steps away, Zhuu Shu seemed to remember something. He halted his steps and turned to look at Beiting Huang, his eyes gradually filling with complex emotions. There was excitement, gratitude, and an impulse to repay with his very life—all these feelings made it suddenly difficult for him to lift his feet and walk away.

His knees buckled slightly as he attempted to kneel deeply before Beiting Huang. A gentle force supported him and made it impossible for him to move.

“There’s no need to thank me. Your life still belongs to me as I will have need of your services in the future. A man’s knees are planted with gold, and there are no cowards by my side,” Beiting Huang said indifferently.

“Yes!” Zhuu Shu gave Beiting Huang the salute of a subordinate and then ran out of the cave.

Standing outside the cave, as he faced the morning glow and looked into the distance, he felt that the sky was so vast and the earth so expansive. He had never before stood to witness the world; indeed, the world seen from different perspectives was so different. With the ground beneath his feet, he wanted to measure and conquer it step by step, a strong feeling rising in his heart.

He wanted to become stronger. Now he was just like everyone else, for he had legs, and of course, he could not be weaker than others.

...

Zhuu Shu took a deep breath, feeling the demonic energy and spiritual qi between heaven and earth. Rich demonic energy surged into his body, circulating through his meridians and rushing toward his dantian. At this moment, the lingering effect of the medicine in his dantian converted into energy and was stored within, endowing him with the strength of a second-grade professional.

“Although the people who were brought out have died, perhaps this is fate, I’ve encountered the noble person in my life. Although he appears fierce, as long as he’s not a man of wrongdoing, that’s enough!” Zhuu Shu couldn’t help but feel extremely grateful.

By the time Zhuu Shu had cleaned himself and returned, the villagers had already had their breakfast, and the aroma of Deep Sea Jade Blue still lingered in the cave.

Initially, when Beiting Huang came from the Central Continent, Teacher Nan Ling was reluctant to part with him, preparing a full space of bread and fine wine, as well as garments. Beiting Huang felt unsatisfied at the time, as Teacher Nan Ling treated him like a child, worried he might go hungry or cold outside. No one expected that the bread and wine would come in handy at such a time.

Everyone thought the food was delicious and quickly ate their fill.

Only Lingfeng’s mother chewed slowly, savoring each bite, as if reflecting upon something, and even tears welled up in her eyes.

Passing the canyon, they would enter the Dark Demon World. Perhaps because Zhuu Shu was with them, the villagers, who had been worried, were now completely at ease, appearing exceptionally happy and relaxed.

Beiting Huang let Zhuu Shu ride one of the Snow Wolves, but Zhuu Shu insisted on walking on his own. Fortunately, the Snow Wolves were not in a rush, and Zhuu Shu could keep up with them by running quickly. Even if he ran with sweat pouring down, he felt very happy.

“If you don’t want your legs to suffer from sequelae in the future, I advise you to rest a bit first,” Beiting Huang, seated on the Snow Wolf King, led the way at the front. He looked back and said to Zhuu Shu, “Since birth, these legs of yours have been unused. You’ve just recovered, and although I’ve strengthened your meridians, they can’t endure such sudden, intense use.”

Zhuu Shu was stunned, but he realized the logic was sound; moderation was necessary in all things, and he truly couldn’t overexert his legs like this.

“For now, it’s best if you don’t walk for more than two hours each day. In a few days, you can gradually increase the duration based on your body’s condition,” advised Beiting Huang. “Once you advance to a 3rd rank professional, you can live like an ordinary person.”
