Overlord, Love Me Tender

By the time Ye Qing Luo returned to Di Mo Xuan’s side, the beast tide was already dispersed.

Under the orders of the leader, the remaining thirty over mercenaries were sitting on the ground to rest.

Ye Qing Qian and Leng Feng Hua were standing by the side, arguing over something.

When Ye Qing Luo returned, everyone watched her in anticipation, filled with admiration.

“That leopard beast….. can it be the same high-level mirage beast?”

“I heard that mirage beasts can transform their body size easily, it seems like it is!”

After a few comments, everyone’s sight glanced over.

Only to see a leopard beast leading a small petite leopard cub, their heads sticking closely to each other and followed behind Ye Qing Luo.

Earlier, Ye Qing Luo had left with three high-level mirage beasts, and now she had returned with one big and one small leopard beast instead.

It was natural to second-guess that these two leopard beasts were those high-level mirage beasts.

Ye Qing Luo did not pay attention to the group of mercenaries.

In a glance, her eyes had made contact with the man on the treetops.

He was leaning against the tree branches, holding his head with one hand, the long silky black ink hair flowing over his shoulders. His narrow charming eyes squinted slightly, reflecting a ray of sinister charm.

The loosely fitted white robe made him looked even more noble yet casual.

Ye Qing Luo smiled as she turned her head to look at the pair of mother and child leopard beasts. With a shift of her feet to leave more space for the mother and child to spend some time.

Presumably, the mother beast must still have a lot to talk to her little Jue’er.

Ye Qing Luo just shifted over under the tree, instantly she felt a tight grip over her waist and her dedicate back was covered by a scorching hot chest.

The man’s warm breath enveloped her neck: “What is the result?”

“I made a cotract with that little small mirage beast.” Ye Qing Luo shrank her neck away, feeling uncomfortable.

“Oh?” Di Mo Xuan raised his brows, “Little Luo’er, your luck is not too bad, it seems like a fruitful trip for you.”

It was indeed fruitful.

She had followed Di Mo Xuan to the magic beasts forest with the intention of finding an opportunity to advance through to the next level.

Now, not only did she break through, but also got promoted to the mystic mystic profound fourth grade in a go.

On top of that, she gathered a huge number of magic cores and a magic crystal.

Here and now, she had even bonded a leopard type mirage beast that was ready for growth.

“I signed a peace contract with it.” Ye Qing Luo’s eyes were fixated on the small mirage beast, who was still snuggling with its mother. With her heart melted by the scene, she continued on “I made a contract with it because I want to help it…”

Ye Qing Luo related the words that the mirage beast told her.

Xi Jue, the small mirage beast was not a pure leopard breed.

To be more precise, it had only half of the genes of a leopard beast.

That was the reason why it got abandoned by the other leopard beasts.

The reason why it has survived till date was because of its mother, the high-level mirage beast who was the king of the fifth level of the forest.

However, even such status was unable to conceal the fact that Xi Jue wasn’t a pure breed.

When the mother beast wasn’t around, it would be spurned with mockery, detest and jeers by their beast clan.

No leopard beasts were willing to play together with it.

All family except its mother had turned their backs on Xi Jue.

Especially when all the family members had been promoted to high-level mirage beasts.

Only it, remained a low-level mirage beast.

The mother beast felt that by continuing to keep Xi Jue by her side, it was not conducive to its growth.

Although Xi Jue had lived for hundred of years, in the magic beast’s age, it was merely equivalent to a six or seven-year-old child.

In the longing for the love from the same herd, those mockery will form a traumatic wound in the long run, leaving traces in its heart.

Like what has happened today.

Especially when none of the leopard beasts in the beast tide were willing to protect Xi Jue and hurt him instead.
