Kong Rui and Chao Bai entered the hall. As soon as they sat down, Little Lion’s voice sounded in Kong Rui’s divine sense.

“Master, let me out! This person is very dangerous. You can’t be alone with him anymore!”

Back on Spirit Mountain, Little Lion had tried its best to come out of Kong Rui’s storage space, but its cultivation level wasn’t high enough to break through the restrictions of the storage space.

Kong Rui wanted to deal with Chao Bai first. She knew that even Little Lion couldn’t contend against Chao Bai, so she didn’t plan to let it appear and cause trouble.

If Little Lion made Chao Bai unhappy, it might be annihilated!

Now that she had returned to the Li family and Chao Bai had an alliance with her, she naturally wasn’t worried about Little Lion’s safety.

As soon as Kong Rui released Little Lion, it roared and rushed towards Chao Bai.

“How dare you bully my master. Take this!”

Kong Rui wanted to stop Little Lion, but it was too late.

Chao Bai’s eyes lit up when he saw Little Lion. When Little Lion rushed forward, he actually reached out with both hands and grabbed Little Lion’s open mouth.

Kong Rui watched as Chao Bai effortlessly controlled Little Lion, which was charging with all its might. She blinked in surprise, and her mouth dropped agape!

Just like that, Kong Rui and Little Lion looked at Chao Bai, who suddenly smiled, with their mouths agape.

“This spirit beast looks very strange. I’ve never seen it before!” As he spoke, he twisted Little Lion’s head and looked it up and down.

Kong Rui watched as Little Lion was shaken until it was dizzy and suddenly burst out laughing.

Little Lion was forced to open its mouth wide and could only say in a muffled voice, “Master, help…”

Only then did Kong Rui say to Chao Bai, “If you pry open its mouth like this, you won’t be able to see its full appearance.”

Chao Bai felt that Kong Rui made sense, so he immediately let go of Little Lion’s mouth. Then, he stood up and circled around it twice.

“This spirit beast is really obedient!” Chao Bai praised when he saw that Little Lion was three times larger than an ordinary young spirit beast.

Kong Rui opened her mouth slightly and looked at Chao Bai in disbelief.

Most people were in awe when they saw griffins and almost worshiped them as gods.

Even if a small number of people coveted the griffin, most would describe it as heroic and domineering.

How could such a huge beast be described as obedient?

Wasn’t this a little too disrespectful to the ancient divine beast?!

Little Lion clearly didn’t agree with such an assessment.

It stood up, puffed out its chest, raised its neck, and roared again.

This roar for dignity was met with Chao Bai’s praise. “Listen! This sounds very similar to the roar of the shepherd dog I raised when I was young!”

Little Lion’s expression turned to shock and anger. However, it knew that its strength was far inferior to Chao Bai’s, so although it was secretly angry, it didn’t dare to take action again.

Comparing an ancient divine beast to a shepherd dog was simply the greatest insult to an ancient divine beast!

Little Lion looked at Kong Rui for help. Master, this person is crazy!

Kong Rui was also a little helpless. She felt that although Chao Bai was tall and strong, his EQ didn’t seem to be very high.

Chao Bai didn’t notice the psychological change in the master and beast. He only said to Kong Rui, “Did you deliberately hide it earlier?”

When Kong Rui saw Chao Bai’s excited expression, she knew that he was only asking out of curiosity. She was about to brush him off when she heard someone call Li Ling’s name outside.

Kong Rui and Chao Bai looked at each other. With a wave of her hand, she hid the griffin in her storage space again.

“Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon,” Kong Rui said to Chao Bai and walked out the door.

Kong Rui looked at the person who had come. It was Li Ling’s father.

“Father, are you looking for me?” Kong Rui’s tone was indifferent. She didn’t have a good impression of this man.

Father Li didn’t mind Li Ling’s attitude towards him.

After all, he had never liked this girl since she was young.

Father Li smiled at Kong Rui and said, “I heard that you just came back, so I wanted to see if you’re comfortable in your courtyard.”

Kong Rui knew that he was trying to make conversation, so she only said calmly, “Fortunately, I have everything I need.”

Mr. Li nodded in satisfaction. His eyes darted around before he said, “If you need anything, tell me. I will definitely…”

Before Mr. Li could finish, Kong Rui interrupted, “The Patriarch has already instructed the butler to arrange everything here. There’s nothing else I need.”
