They departed from Pengshan City.
After bidding farewell to Wang Ji and his wife, the journey became slightly somber.
When they passed through a mountainous area——
With a whooshing sound.
A grotesque beast leapt out from the wilderness, shrinking to the size of a regular steed, and galloped toward Chen Jichuan.
"The Red-scaled Beast."
"Are you coming with us too?"
Wang Yan approached and patted the head of the Red-scaled Beast, visibly delighted.
Having just parted from his grandparents, and uncertain when he might return after leaving the West Sea, parting from the familiar stirred some sadness.
Now, seeing the Red-scaled Beast helped dispel some of these emotions.
"Snort!"
The Red-scaled Beast turned its head and sneezed, spewing flames from its mouth and nostrils. Its usual aloof demeanor showed no interest in Wang Yan.
Wang Yan didn't seem to mind.
