When the panda heard their conversation, it turned a deaf ear to it. It seemed to know the principles of ‘don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear’ and ‘don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask’.
The panda jumped to a latitude and roared. Its deep voice made Yu Huang’s scalp tingle.
This was completely different from the pandas she used to be familiar with.
In the Doomsday Era, the panda, which was once a national treasure, was initially fed at regular intervals every day. In the later stages, people couldn’t get enough to eat anymore, so they looked at the national treasure as if they were looking at a delicious piece of meat.
During those years when food was scarce, no matter how precious pandas were, they became viewed as food.
Fortunately, pandas were huge. Although they looked cute, their combat strength was very strong.
The police chief of the base even specifically held a seminar on pandas. There were two discussion points—
First, eat the pandas.
Second, train them to assist in battle.
After an hour of discussion, the survivors of the base finally gave up on the idea of eating panda meat. They trained the pandas for a period of time before using the pickup truck to drag them out to fight.
Before the Shanghai base was completely destroyed, the pandas had all died in battle already.
At the thought of this, when Yu Huang looked at the unfamiliar mount under her again, she suddenly felt the feeling of seeing a ‘person’ from her hometown.
“Lord Beast.” Yu Huang asked it, “Why do you have the ability to devour space?”
The Void Swallowing Beast said, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When you reach the Cang Lang Continent, you will become a demon of the Cang Lang Continent. As a demon beast, you naturally have to have some ability to protect yourself. As a panda from Earth, I can’t embarrass my kind.” The Void Swallowing Beast spoke the Cang Lang Continent’s language, but it had a Sichuan accent.
It was quite wondrous.
It was born and raised in Sichuan. At that time, humans even sent a few people to take care of it. Those days were so blissful.
The Void Swallowing Beast had a deep impression of its hometown.
Nodding her head, Yu Huang asked, “Which era did you live on Earth in?”
The Void Swallowing Beast said, “2022 A.D.”
When Yu Huang heard this, she was silent for a long time before muttering, “I was born in the year 2153.” Yu Huang’s adoptive father was born in the year 2123. He adopted Yu Huang when he was 30 years old. When Yu Huang was born on Earth, there were already signs of doomsday on Earth.
Hearing this, the Void Swallowing Beast asked curiously, “Did Earth’s development become very impressive more than a hundred years later? Was the epidemic over at that time? I remember that when I left Earth, the epidemic was very serious. The staff of the base who took care of me wore masks every day, and the tourists who came to the base to watch the panda were all fully covered.”
The Void Swallowing Beast’s tone was filled with anticipation and yearning for the future of Earth.
Yu Huang couldn’t bear to tell it what happened after that, so she smiled and said, “Earth developed very prosperously. The people were living in peace, and technology is advanced. They even realized the immigration plan to other planets.”
The Void Swallowing Beast exclaimed, “How impressive.”
AsnSheng Xiao listened to Yu Huang and the Void Swallowing Beast communicate, he leaned close to Yu Huang’s ear and asked softly, “The… panda you’re talking about is a creature from Earth?”
Yu Huang nodded and told Sheng Xiao, “It’s a wild animal unique to our country. It’s called a national treasure and it’s very cute.”
As Sheng Xiao stared at the huge and fierce Void Swallowing Beast under him, he felt that the demon beast seemed vicious, and he didn’t find it cute at all.
Knowing what Sheng Xiao was thinking, Yu Huang explained, “In my world, there are no Beast Tamers, no cultivators, so naturally, there are no demon beasts with demonic techniques. The national treasure only needs to act cute to be popular.”
Sheng Xiao smiled.
He asked again, “Why didn’t you tell it what happened to Earth after that?”
Yu Huang pursed her lips as she stared at the lines below. She stared at them blankly for a while before saying, “I want it to continue being a carefree panda.”
She would carry the burden.
Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand silently.
“Sit tight. I’m going to bring you guys across space!” After the Void Swallowing Beast shook its mighty and huge body, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao hurriedly climbed down and grabbed the Void Swallowing Beast’s fur tightly.
The Void Swallowing Beast raised its head and roared angrily. When it lowered its head again, it opened its mouth.
Its fangs looked extremely sharp.
The Void Swallowing Beast took a bite at the longitude and latitude lines below them and bit off three latitude lines in one bite. After it chewed up the latitude lines, it opened its mouth to bite at the other latitude lines. After it bit off a few latitude lines, the distance shortened greatly.
Yu Huang sat on the back of the Void Swallowing Beast with a bored expression while listening to it chewing continuously.
The sound of it made Yu Huang want to eat snacks.

Cang Lang City, intercontinental finals.
On the last day of the grand finals, the rankings between the participants were basically all out, and there would be no further changes.
Currently, the first place was still Jing Jiaren, the second place was still Zhan Jianxue, and the third place was a male disciple of the second strongest faction in Cang Lang City, the Murong Family, called Murong Jiangcheng. After Ye Qingyang successfully entered the intercontinental finals and obtained the qualifications to enter a Beast Tamer academy, he didn’t challenge any participants again.
Originally, everyone thought that Ye Qingyang would publicly challenge Jing Jiaren and ruthlessly crush her so that all the participants could see that the man who was once mocked by Jing Jiaren was already powerful enough to defeat Jing Jiaren.
They all thought that Ye Qingyang would teach them a lesson in front of them and let them understand what ‘what goes around comes around’ meant.
Even Jing Jiaren thought so.
However, ever since Ye Qingyang passed the challenge, he had been sitting quietly on the railing at the highest point of the spectator stand. No one dared to approach him. Only a crow lingered on his shoulder.
No one knew what he was thinking.
As Yin Rong stared at his lonely figure, she felt a little uncomfortable.
This fellow wasn’t scary at all. Why did everyone treat him as a jinx and keep a distance from him?
Yin Rong buried her head and started to write. She wrote to Xiao Shu, who was far away in the Demon Beast Continent—
[Xiao Shu, we met a very strange male cultivator called Ye Qingyang. This person has such a complicated background story that it’s enough for me to write a million words…]
During the tense finals, everyone had a special way to relieve their nervousness. Yin Rong’s way of relieving her nervousness was to write letters. She used a humorous tone, as if she was writing a novel, to record what she saw and heard every day and her performance in battle. Then, she edited it into a book and prepared to send it to Xiao Shu when she had money.
After all, she couldn’t be like Feng Yuncheng, who could hold Beatrice’s hand whenever he wanted.
They couldn’t gather together and mutter secrets to each other, like Estelle and Donor did.
