A Thought Through Eternity

Thus, every single time Bai Xiaochun went out during the following half a month, he would consistently bring back a spirit beast which he had carefully chosen. He watched as the Rearing Beast Flower swallow those spirit beasts, then those spirit beasts would leave with an infatuated and reluctant look. Within half a month, he had chosen almost 200 spirit beasts for the Rearing Beast Flower to swallow.

As for the following two hundred spirit beasts, Bai Xiaochun wouldn’t choose any of them, unless it was a special spirit beast.

At the end, he wanted to nurture the strongest combat beast possible, and so the ones that he had chosen were either strong or had enormous potential.

At the end, all of the spirit beasts that had dedicated themselves were unexpectedly gathered outside the formation array of Bai Xiaochun’s pavilion. Every time they saw Bai Xiaochun come out, they would all howl, wishing that they could have another chance to enter again.

“Not possible, giving your energy once is enough, if you give more, it will harm your bodies.” Bai Xiaochun steeled his heart and refused. This went on for another few days, and even the pangolin had came to dedicate its energy. After that, Bai Xiaochun realised that there were no more beasts within the Hundred Beasts Courtyard that he could choose anymore.

He was especially worried because he knew that the blossoming period of the Rearing Beast Flower wasn’t that long, and once this period of time passed, it would start producing its offspring.

“This won’t do, these beasts aren’t enough to cultivate the strongest combat beast that I want.” When Bai Xiaochun thought of this, he hurriedly left the Hundred Beasts Courtyard. While he was previously walking around the North Bank to observe spirit beasts, the understanding that he had towards the spirit beasts of the disciples of the North Bank was not considered as perfect, but he still had a rough impression of them. He knew which disciple’s combat beasts had a huge potential, and he knew which of them had a strong combat beast.

“I remember that there was an outer sect disciple that had a peacock as her combat beast? It seemed to have a high potential, this peacock should be fine?” Bai Xiaochun quickly went to the living quarters of that female disciple.

Only after he waited there for half a day did he then see that this female disciple’s reputation was not small. When the beautiful disciple returned, Bai Xiaochun immediately used what he thought was the most gentle smile and quickly walked up to her, tactfully expressing his wish to pay some contribution points to let him borrow his peacock, so it could dedicate something special for him. Besides the Rearing Beast Flower, he detailedly told her everything else.

Bai Xiaochun was worried that the other party would reject him, and so, he even gave another line of explanation.

“Don’t worry, whatever your combat beast would dedicate will absolutely not hurt it. You don’t know, but all the other combat beasts that had given it before would be infatuated and would want to go again. But I was worried that it would severely harm their Yuan Qi, and so I rejected them.

That female disciple was originally at a loss and didn’t know what ‘dedicating’ meant. But after she listened, her eyes went wide, blankly looking at the Bai Xiaochun in front of her. Finally, fear appeared in her eyes.

“You… you lewd and evil thief.” She didn’t know what to say, and she stamped her feet, hurriedly leaving.

Bai Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, he slightly felt wronged.

“Am I not just borrowing it for a moment? If you don’t agree, then that’s fine. But you actually scolded me and called me a lewd and evil thief. I, Bai Xiaochun, am not a lewd and evil thief!” Bai Xiaochun was gloomy, so he just decided to go to the next person. But after several days, he had found over a hundred people, but unexpectedly, not even a single one agreed. And there were even many people that had a weird look in their eyes when they looked at him.

Bai Xiaochun sighed. He was thinking in his mind that since everyone doesn’t agree, then it was fine. Its hopeless anyway, and he could only settle for second best and use the other beasts in the Hundred Beasts Courtyard.

But just at the moment when Bai Xiaochun was about to give up, a rumor was spread within the sect. When many disciples looked at Bai Xiaochun, they would have a weird look and would whisper in another person’s ear, all discussing about him.

“Did you hear? Bai Xiaochun has an unusual hobby…”

“During these few days, he’s been trying to borrow combat beasts from everyone, saying something about dedicating. You don’t know the meaning of dedicating, come, I’ll give you an explanation!”

“It’s actually this meaning. Heavens. Bai Xiaochun is actually, with beasts... heavens, this can’t be true.”

This rumour was spontaneous, as if this rumour contained all of the malice of the disciples of the North Bank after they couldn’t do anything about Bai Xiaochun. This rumour got worse and worse, and by the end, even the meaning of it had changed. Only, the disciples of the North Bank were extremely interested by this rumour and spread it with an extremely fast speed. Several days later, almost a great majority of disciples had heard of this matter.

“Do you know why Bai Xiaochun came to the North Bank? It’s because he has a special love for beasts.”

“I’ve finally understood. The reason why he could research and create that Aphrodisiac Pill is actually this reason. Because he wants it, so he develops it…”

“Heaven’s Chosen all have strange hobbies. I’m just curious, his targets don’t seem to be female beasts, but male beasts?”

“Heavens, you even thought of this. Hush… we should quiet down a bit. I’ve faintly guessed a reason…”

Bai Xiaochun had also heard these rumours, and he turned muddleheaded. The most outrageous thing was, one evening, when night had descended, he had seen a female disciple carrying a blue eyed black cat. He merely curiously looked at it a bit more, and that female disciple unexpectedly shrieked and quickly ran away.

Bai Xiaochun was stunned and felt extremely wronged. He wanted to explain it to them, but he realised that these people would seem to suddenly see the light after he explained it to them, yet they would still secretly spread the rumours even more.

“You guys are bullying too much!” Bai Xiaochun was angry.

“I, Bai Xiaochun, don’t have it easy! I had to come alone to the North Bank to cultivate, and I’ve been cautious the whole time, not daring to offend anyone, staying low! But you guys actually bullied me like this! And you guys also slandered me!” Bai Xiaochun’s eyes turned red as he clenched his teeth.

“This is what you have forced me to do! Since you are slandering me, those beasts of yours, I’ll take it myself!” When Bai Xiaochun’s rage was burning, he suddenly heard a sound of wind behind him. When he turned his head, he saw that there was nothing behind him, just a big tree not far away that was swaying.

Following that, there was a black shadow that unexpectedly used an extremely fast speed to charge directly at him at the moment that he turned his head. That black shadow’s target was his lower abdomen… It suddenly used its mouth to ruthlessly bite down, as if it wanted to thoroughly bite it off to pieces.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaochun was presently at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation, and his mind was clear, especially after achieving enlightenment. It also seemed like his senses had improved a lot; he immediately felt that something was not right and suddenly retreated.

Chi! Chi! In the instant that he retreated, a large mouth that was full of dense, sharp teeth was only half a zhang away from Bai Xiaochun’s body, directly biting the air where he once stood. The strength of that bite was too great, actually causing a sonic boom and carried boundless hatred.

This black shadow was precisely that Nocturnal Beast. It was nighttime, and its speed was much greater than its speed during the day. Seeing that its second sneak attack against Bai Xiaochun was still not successful, this big Nocturnal Beasts immediately turned around and ran away without the slightest hesitation.

“It\'s you again!” Bai Xiaochun’s scalp was already numb, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead. He could only feel that there was a chill behind his back. Earlier, if he was just a bit slower in his dodging, he would\'ve been directly bitten by that Nocturnal Beast.

Once he thought about the consequences of being bitten, Bai Xiaochun’s mind trembled. He didn\'t dare to test out the Undying Longevity Technique to bet his...

“This damned Nocturnal Family. It almost exterminated an Honourable Family!” Bai Xiaochun looked at the Nocturnal Beast running away, and his rage immediately overflowed the heavens.

“This is too much bullying! It\'s fine that the disciples of the North Bank are bullying me, but you, a mere black dog, actually dare to bully me too! Last time, I pitied you. This time, you won\'t run away!” Bai Xiaochun angrily roared as wings appeared on his back. His body flashed, and his speed explosively increased as he instantly chased after the dog.

One man and one beast were quickly playing a game of tag in the North Bank.

That Nocturnal Beast’s speed was just as quick as Bai Xiaochun’s flying speed, and it was more familiar with the terrain here. Bai Xiaochun chased after it for an hour, but even until the sky was already thoroughly dark, he still hadn\'t caught up with it. Originally, he was already angry, but after being sneak attacked by this Nocturnal Beast and discovering that he couldn\'t catch up, his anger once again surged.

This Nocturnal Beast had already taken second place in the rankings of things he hated in his heart. The third rank was Elder Zhou’s bird. As for the first rank… except for that parroting rabbit that would appear and disappear randomly, there wouldn\'t be anything that could take its place.

(ED Note: Bai Xiaochun… Ultimate V.???)

“Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will continue chasing you!” Bai Xiaochun’s whole body suddenly flashed, and his Undying Longevity Art was stimulated to the limit. The sweeping motion of the wings on his back also had bursts of Magnetic Yuan Force appear, and in this instant, the speed of his entire body explosively increased by twofold.

With a boom, he directly turned into a blur, instantly shortening the distance between them. That Nocturnal Beast was not making a single sound, and it was about to dig into a cave. However, before its whole body entered, Bai Xiaochun had already approached and grabbed it.

In the instant that he grabbed the Nocturnal Beast, its eyeballs turned red. With madness, it directly turned its head, ignoring its own safety to aggressively charge at Bai Xiaochun’s lower abdomen, trying to bite him again.

Previously, when it tried to sneak attack, the Nocturnal Beast was unable to succeed, and nothing more was needed to be said when Bai Xiaochun was currently full of anger. Before the Nocturnal Beast could bite him, it let out a cry as its neck was directly clamped by Bai Xiaochun.

His hands were like metal clamps, and despite how much the Nocturnal Beast struggled, it was unable to break free.

“Humph, I\'ll make you aware what’s terrifying this time!” Bai Xiaochun clenched his teeth and directly headed to the Hundred Beasts Courtyard. Quickly, he arrived at the pavilion When he was currently pondering how to punish this Nocturnal Beast, he suddenly swept his gaze across the Rearing Beast Flower.

His mind shook, and Bai Xiaochun cunningly laughed. He threw this Nocturnal Beast forward, and it was instantly swallowed by the Rearing Beast Flower.

After two hours, the Rearing Beast Flower loosened, and the Nocturanl Beast climbed out of it. There was still madness and hate in its eyes, but now it also had a strange expression. After it saw Bai Xiaochun, it still wanted to charge and tear him apart, however, it was caught by Bai Xiaochun and was thrown again into the Rearing Beast Flower.

Another two hours passed. When the Nocturnal Beast appeared again, its madness was still present, so it was thrown inside again by Bai Xiaochun.

After four times, when the Nocturnal Beast appeared again, its legs had gone soft as it lied there panting.

“Scared now?” Bai Xiaochun coldly snorted.

“Provoke me again, I…” Before Bai Xiaochun finished speaking, that Nocturnal Beast suddenly raised its head and forcefully tried to charge and bite Bai Xiaochun. Bai Xiaochun immediately flew into a rage and once again threw the Nocturnal Beast into the Rearing Beast Flower several times consecutively. Added onto the previous four times, he had thrown the Nocturnal Beast inside the Rearing Beast Flower 9 times.

After nine times, the body of the Nocturnal Beast had shrunk, and it was already listless. When Bai Xiaochun grabbed it again, the Nocturnal Beast let out a mournful cry, and Bai Xiaochun’s heart also became soft as it struggled.

“Are you scared now? In the future, don\'t provoke me. I also had no choice during that time in the Heaven’s Chosen War,” Bai Xiaochun warned it, and only then did he threw the Nocturnal Beast out of the pavilion then into the distance. The Nocturnal Beast used its little remaining strength to hurriedly run away. When it got to a secluded place, it stopped. A confused look appeared in its eyes, and faintly, it seemed to recall the aftertaste...
