The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Edamame, which has been missing for so long, is finally back.

At this moment, Maodou exudes a wild aura, and its glossy fur and muscles give it an even more untamed feel.

Maodou grinned at Jiang Ning, baring his big front teeth, and snuggled into his arms.

Jiang Ning smiled and stroked its head, saying with a smile.

"I haven't seen you in so long. I thought you had been captured and made into donkey meat sandwiches. I was thinking it was such a pity that my own donkey was made into donkey meat sandwiches and I didn't even get to taste a few bites."

Maodou immediately huffed and puffed to express his dissatisfaction.

"Where have you been all this time? Do you know I've been looking for you all over Mount Hua and I couldn't find you. I thought you were lost."

Maodou immediately shook the donkey's head and pointed in a direction.

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "You went deep into the Qinling Mountains?"

Maodou grinned, showing off his big front teeth.

How did you get inside?

Jiang Ning inquired.

Maodou immediately started huffing and puffing, while the donkey's hooves drew on the ground.

It's been so long since we last met, and Maodou seems to have become even more perceptive, actually able to communicate with him like this.

It's just that the drawing is so ugly, it's unbearable to look at.

Jiang Ning finally understood after Maodou's painstaking drawing.

However, after understanding what Maodou meant, Jiang Ning showed a strange expression.

According to Maodou's explanation, one day it was idly strolling down the mountain when it smelled a terrifying aura—a terrifying beast hiding at the foot of Mount Hua.

In addition, Maodou also smelled the scent of another equally terrifying beast. Startled, Maodou immediately turned tail and ran into the depths of the Qinling Mountains, beginning its adventure.

It wasn't until recently that it finally found its way back.

After reading Maodou's explanation, Jiang Ning couldn't help but show a strange expression.

If he guessed correctly, the scents of those two terrifying beasts that Maodou smelled should be those of the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake.

"Um……"

Jiang Ning didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize with Maodou's plight, and asked, "You've been deep in the Qinling Mountains for so long, you haven't encountered any danger, have you?"

Maodou immediately raised its donkey head high, indicating that it was impossible. Although it was a donkey, its agility and hoof movements were not to be trifled with. It could be said to move freely in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

"That's fine."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

However, Maodou kept huffing and puffing, as if it had something to say, and finally turned its head and barked at the back.

To Jiang Ning's astonishment, another donkey and several smaller donkeys came into view.

Maodou looked at Jiang Ning smugly.

"You mean you found a wife inside? And even had a child?"

Jiang Ning stared at Maodou in astonishment, his face filled with shock.

Chapter 800: That damned idiot!

Maodou chuckled triumphantly.

Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly.

"Since they are your... um... wife and daughters, then let them live on Mount Hua as well."

To be honest, although Maodou is a donkey, Jiang Ning really couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Ning didn't know what expression to make, and said with a wry smile.

"You always manage to come up with something new and interesting."

Maodou squinted at Jiangning with his donkey-like eyes, as if to say, "What's wrong with me being your mount and taking care of my wife and kids?"

Seeing its smug look, Jiang Ning, who was originally going to remind it, suddenly changed his mind.

Jiang Ning patted Maodou's head and said with a smile, "I'll introduce you to two friends later. I'm sure you'll like them."

friend?

Maodou looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously, but still had no doubts. He raised his donkey hoof and patted his chest to reassure Jiang Ning.

Its social attributes are undeniable; before it even ventured deep into the Qinling Mountains, it had almost become buddies with Feng Qingyang, who hated it to the core.

Although Jiang Ning found it hard to understand why a donkey's hooves could be so agile as to pat its chest, once he thought about how this donkey was Maodou, all the seemingly absurd behavior seemed reasonable.

Jiang Ning smiled without saying a word.

Jiang Ning led the way with Maodou, while the donkey Maodou brought and several other donkeys followed behind.

And so, Jiang Ning led Maodou to a place where there was a pond not far ahead.

Upon arriving here, Jiang Ning hesitated slightly and looked back at the donkeys.

Maodou looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

Forget it.

The harm should not extend to the wife and children.

Jiang Ning turned around and shouted to the donkeys, "You don't need to follow me, just stay here."

The donkeys did not react.

They were just ordinary donkeys, lacking the intelligence of Maodou, and couldn't understand Jiangning's language.

Jiang Ning glanced at Maodou, who understood and turned back to his wife and daughter, humming a few times before signaling to Jiang Ning that it was okay.

"Let's go."

Jiang Ning patted Maodou's head and led him to the edge of the pool.

"Master."

At this moment, several Huashan disciples who were guarding the pool came forward and bowed to Jiang Ning.

At this moment, Maodou looked around curiously, searching for the friend Jiang Ning said he would introduce to it, completely unaware of what would happen next.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning nodded, signaling them to step back, then looked at the pool and called out.

"Spirit Serpent".

As Jiang Ning spoke, ripples suddenly appeared on the once calm surface of the pool, as if some enormous creature was swimming underwater.

Ok?

Maodou sensed something was wrong; it seemed to smell a dangerous aura.

Before Maodou could react, a huge creature burst out of the water, splashing the pool everywhere.

Upon seeing the enormous creature before him, Maodou's donkey eyes widened suddenly, and his body stiffened, remaining motionless.

The serpent's enormous head peeked over, first affectionately nuzzling Jiang Ning's hand, then its snake eyes looked at Maodou beside it with great excitement. Without a word, it opened its mouth to swallow Maodou whole.

"You can't eat this."

As soon as Jiang Ning's voice rang out, the snake stopped moving instantly, then retracted its blood-red maw and looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

"It was my previous mount, and it was quite intelligent. You should get to know it."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the spirit snake's expression immediately fell.

It thought this was a gift specially sent to it by Jiang Ning.

The serpent shook its enormous head to indicate that it understood.

Jiang Ning turned to look at Maodou and smiled, "So, what do you think of this friend?"

Maodou remained motionless, his body stiff, his large, protruding teeth still clenched, as if his soul had flown away.

Until a slippery snake tongue licked its face, Maodou's stiff donkey head looked at the snake's head so close to it, those vertical pupils staring at it as if to say something.

Bro, you smell so good.

"Ang ang ang!!!!"

Maodou darted away in a flash, making terrified hooting noises as it ran.

Its speed was so fast that it left afterimages and kicked up a cloud of dust.

"Hey?"

Jiang Ning shouted.

Why are you running so fast? There's still one friend you haven't seen yet.

Maodou ignored him and ran off, leaving afterimages on all four legs.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh as he watched Maodou run off into the distance.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing Jiang Ning's happy smile, the Huashan disciples responsible for guarding the area looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their sect leader... seems... a bit cunning?

……

Maodou ran wildly until she had run a great distance before stopping to catch her breath.

That's terrifying!

Maodou was still in shock.

It never imagined that the friend Jiang Ning introduced to it would be the strange beast that had scared it into running deep into the Qinling Mountains.

That's terrible!
