So this group of monsters became greedy and pounced on him, wanting to catch Ji Mingyu and cook him together.
The result is predictable.
The entire group of monsters was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the four little beasts were also saved.
These four little animals are obviously divine beasts at first glance.
And if you carefully distinguish their breath, you can find that they are actually adults.
Adult divine beasts, whether their flesh and blood are used to refine elixirs or their bones, horns and claws are used to refine weapons, are extremely precious materials.
Not to mention, if it could be tamed into a spiritual pet, it would be a priceless treasure.
However, Ji Mingyu didn't even look at the four little ones, and turned away.
Instead, the four little ones looked at each other, transformed into human form, and followed.
Xi Yue had already guessed the identities of these four little ones, but when she saw the human forms they transformed into, she still smiled.
These four mythical beasts are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.
However, unlike the maturity and stability they would have ten thousand years later, the human forms transformed by the four beasts at this moment still looked like boys and girls in their teens.
Strictly speaking in terms of age, they are a thousand years older than Ji Mingyu.
Just like Xiaoli is a thousand years older than Xiyue.
But the age of monsters cannot be calculated by the age when they hatch. Their minds will only mature slowly after they transform.
Therefore, even though the four little ones are old, they still follow Ji Mingyu like little followers.
No matter how sternly he drove them away, the four little ones were so silly and cute that they refused to leave.
Occasionally, when Ji Mingyu drove the little Suzaku too far, the little Suzaku would shed tears pitifully, and the little white tiger would lie on the ground, acting coquettishly and cutely, which made Xi Yue simply unable to bear to watch.
It turned out that this was how Qinglong and the others met Ji Mingyu.
This time, Xi Yue was not as nervous as when he saw Xiaotian, because he knew that Qinglong and the others would not leave Ji Mingyu.
Until ten thousand years later, she stayed by this lonely man's side.
Sure enough, as time passed, Qinglong and the others grew older and their personalities became more stable.
However, she always stayed by Ji Mingyu's side and never left him.
During this period, Qinglong and his companions summoned four more ferocious beasts, namely Hun Dun, Taotie, Taowu and Qiongqi, who later followed Ji Mingyu.
They all called Ji Mingyu "Master".
However, because Ji Mingyu's cultivation progressed too quickly, his appearance remained that of a teenager over the past few decades.
They started out by acting cute and coquettish in front of the boy and giving him the cold shoulder, but then they began to feel sorry for his strength and independence and took on the role of taking care of and protecting him.
With the company of these eight divine beasts, Ji Mingyu no longer risked his life at every turn and disregarded his own life and death.
However, it was impossible for him to open his heart as he did to Xiaotian.
The boy's face always showed coldness and aloofness, and he never allowed anyone to touch or get close to him.
Even Qinglong and the other eight were no exception.
Xi Yue felt extremely distressed watching from the side, but at the same time, there was a faint sweetness in her heart.
Ji Mingyu is truly aloof from the crowd. He doesn't trust anyone and doesn't want to get close to anyone.
However, from the very first time they met, Ji Mingyu would take the initiative to touch her and get close to her.
Such affection and trust are so rare for this man.
How lucky is she to be loved by Ji Mingyu
As time went by, Ji Mingyu's cultivation became higher and higher. It took him only forty years to reach the peak that others could not reach in their entire lives - the Mahayana stage. (To be continued)
