Chapter 5: Death of the Demon Beast

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the Soaring Python arrived, the demon beast believer praised Gu Xiao in all sorts of ways. However, it was extremely sincere and was not as exaggerated as the girl.

After that, it told Gu Xiao how good the Soaring Python was and how much it had helped it over the past year.

After that, it asked Gu Xiao if he could take the Soaring Python as a believer and teach it a cultivation technique.

It turned out that this was the reason. Gu Xiao could not help but laugh. However, he felt that the demon beast believer who was a little careful now was a little cuter than before.

As expected, experiences were useful in molding character.

Gu Xiao sighed and happily agreed to its request.

After becoming a new believer, the Soaring Python could also communicate with Gu Xiao.

It was not as shy as the demon beast believer in the early stages. Perhaps it had been in the outside world for too long, so it could chat about anything. It was also quite curious about Gu Xiao’s existence.

It was rare for Gu Xiao to meet a socialite, and it was not as unreasonable as a girl. The words that he had been holding back for decades were poured out just like that.

Seeing that the friend it introduced was even closer to the divine tree than it, the demon beast believer did not say anything and continued to do its own things silently.

However, occasionally, it would privately say to its companion, “Lord Divine Tree is supreme. Don’t be too impudent to it.”

The latter only snorted. “I’m not as stupid as you.”

They had known each other for more than a year, so it naturally knew about the matter between the demon beast believer and the middle-aged man.

After listening, it only felt that the former’s head had been hit by a tree. What was the point of handing over something that was obviously beneficial to it? It didn’t get any benefits at all.

It thought about this the first night and mentioned it to Gu Xiao the next day.

After a year, Gu Xiao’s reaction to this was not as huge as before. He only said calmly, “That should be a bloodline enhancement. It’s a little powerful. You can’t use it now.”

The Soaring Python did not believe him, but it still agreed with a chuckle.

However, the moment it turned around, it told the demon beast believer about this.

It said that it had already figured out Gu Xiao’s background and had a way to get that thing.

The demon beast believer did not leave it and warned it not to have any crooked thoughts.

“What are you pretending for?”

The two beasts parted on bad terms.

After a night, the demon beast believer wondered if it had been a little ruthless. After all, the other party could not control that mouth.

In the end, when it was about to reconcile with the Soaring Python, it saw that the other party was lying in front of Gu Xiao in pain and its body was disappearing bit by bit.

This scene was too horrifying. Even the usually calm beast believer was a little flustered. It asked in surprise, “Lord Divine Tree?”

Gu Xiao snorted. “I didn’t do anything, but why don’t you ask your good friend what kind of feelings it has for me?”

As soon as he thought about what happened this morning, Gu Xiao felt very unhappy.

He was originally waiting for the Soaring Python to chat with him, but what came was the other party scattering some strange potions on his tree trunk.

It even mocked him as it spoke, saying that his current glory would all belong to it later.

Gu Xiao thought that it had taken the wrong medicine, but in the end, he understood the other party’s confident attitude.

It didn’t suddenly go crazy, but it had ulterior motives from the beginning.

Why else would they say that villains died from talking too much?

The Soaring Python continued babbling about its scheme. It said that metal countered wood. Under the alchemy potion in its hand, the tree could not use any methods.

Gu Xiao was so amused that he wanted to laugh. He really wanted to tell the other party that alchemy had nothing to do with metals.

Moreover, it was such a big tree. Wasn’t it dreaming if it thought that it could deal with him with some lousy potion?

However, before Gu Xiao could do anything, it vanished on the spot.

[Believers are unable to be disloyal to their god. Once they are disobedient to their own gods, they will be killed. This is the law of the world.]

Gu Xiao responded indifferently. He naturally knew this, which was why there were so many fanatical believers in this world.

“I’m just curious. Didn’t you say that it would die if it had the intention of betrayal? Why did it only react when it attacked me?”

The system’s response was: [That’s in the case of a god. Are you a god?]

Gu Xiao: “…”

How could he not be? He was only 97 levels away from becoming a god.

After the Soaring Python incident, the demon beast believer was still as usual, but it was even more silent than before.

After this incident, Gu Xiao also realized that he had attracted too much attention.

An ordinary demon beast dared to attack him. Fortunately, he was safe this time. However, what if he encountered an expert who was not his believer?

For his own safety, the first thing Gu Xiao did was to shrink his body size.

The thousand-year-old tree was nothing impressive. It would only put him in a dangerous situation.

When he was as small as the other willow trees around him, Gu Xiao was still worried.

After all, this willow forest was his incarnation. It was nothing more than the difference between his main body and the branches.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao felt that this willow forest needed other trees to confuse enemies.

In any case, all the willow trees were under his control. It was not a big deal to move a problem now.

As for the place to move, Gu Xiao asked the demon beast believer to find other trees to plant.

He wanted to be able to hide completely before he was strong enough.

Under the hard work of the demon beast believer, Gu Xiao finally achieved his goal.

Moreover, because of the change in the environment, this willow forest… or rather, this forest could no longer attract just small animals. There were also some demon beasts settling down.

Not just passing by, but settling down.

There were also some powerful demon beasts, such as the one that had caused him to fail earlier.

The other party had a partner now and even gave birth to two cubs.

The timing was just right. Without a word, Gu Xiao took the two children in as new believers.

If I can’t deal with your father, can’t I deal with you?

Regardless of its bloodline, a newborn baby did not have much strength.

Gu Xiao secretly thought about it and even had a beautiful fantasy of the father following his son.

Returning to reality, Gu Xiao once again proved the importance of juvenile education.

Compared to the natural growth and slow enlightenment of the demon beast, the demon beast cubs that were born with inheritance grew very quickly.

In less than two years, they almost caught up to their parents.

Although there was an inheritance, this speed was too abnormal. In the end, Gu Xiao could only attribute it to talent.

After the two children grew up, the feedback they gave Gu Xiao was really comfortable.

Moreover, they seemed to have a habit of hoarding things. They liked to bring everything to Gu Xiao. He did not reject them. Anyway, he could fit them in his space.

Under the demonstration of the previous demon beast believer, the two brats also fell in love with planting trees. Gu Xiao’s side was already filled with all kinds of strange branches.

He spent every day watching these cubs plant trees. It really felt like a game.

Another spring came, and Gu Xiao finally met the fifth living person in his life.

However, that would end quickly.

Because, as soon as he arrived, he rushed straight to the cliff and acted like he was going to jump down.
