Chapter 1739: Tao Tie

The thing that was occupied next to the barbecue grill was not a person but a strange beast.

Its body was about the size of an adult Tibetan Mastiff [1] with fur all over its body snow-white. However, the appearance of this wild beast was peculiar.

Its eyes were round and bulging, giving the impression of a human face. However, its mouth protruded with two sharp teeth sticking out, gleaming coldly. Its figure seemed to have the resemblance of a sheep breed, but its two front paws were long and could flex naturally, looking more like human hands.

Xi Yue watched dumbfounded as the white-furred beast kept bustling around the barbecue grill, occasionally flipping the charred meat and sometimes sprinkling some fine powder over it. It was fortunate that its front paws were as nimble as human hands. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to perform such delicate actions.

However, as more powder was sprinkled on the grilled meat, the smell emanating from the burnt meat became increasingly terrible and unpleasant. The white-furred beast howled incessantly as if it were about to go mad with anxiety.

Xi Yue was amused by the white-haired beast and subconsciously walked toward it.

Due to her close and affectionate relations.h.i.+p with spiritual pets like Little Egg, Little Golden Dragon, and Little Dumb Cow, Xi Yue had a natural affinity with animals. She was able to let down her guard more easily with animals than with people.

However, the two maids following Xi Yue turned pale and their bodies trembled with fear at the sight of the white-furred beast.

Seeing Xi Yue heading toward the white-furred beast, they became anxious and immediately stepped forward, saying, “Miss, please stop. Do not get close… to him, or it could be dangerous.”

Xi Yue glanced at the two of them. She noticed the maids looked very young, but they were over a hundred years old. At that moment, they were drenched in cold sweat. Their eyes nervously darted toward the white-furred beast, as if they were terrified it would pounce on them.

Although Xi Yue could not discern the cultivation level of the white-furred beast, she had an instinctive sharp sense for both cultivators and demonic beasts. Therefore, she naturally knew that it would be effortless for the white-furred beast to devour her.

But for some reason, Xi Yue had an inexplicable intuition that this white-haired beast would not hurt her.

Even the way it growled around the barbecue gave her a familiar feeling.

Xi Yue ignored the warnings of the two maids and continued walking toward the white-haired beast.

The two maids looked at each other, both seeing the hesitation and panic in each other’s eyes. However, in the end, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow Xi Yue.

The white-haired beast noticed Xi Yue and the others as soon as they appeared but ignored them.

It wasn’t until Xi Yue walked straight toward it that he raised his head in displeasure.

What he hated the most was being disturbed while preparing or enjoying his food. These people dared to break this taboo. Immediately, he had a strong urge to swallow them whole.

The closer Xi Yue got, the clearer she saw the true face of the white-furred beast, and the deeper the astonishment in her eyes became.

The appearance of this ferocious beast always gave her a familiar feeling.

With a human face and a sheep’s body, tiger teeth, human hands, a large head and mouth… That’s right, it’s Tao Tie!

Xi Yue slightly widened her eyes. Could this white-furred beast in front of me be the legendary beast, Tao Tie?

The white-furred beast was indeed one of the four legendary ferocious beasts under Ji Mingyu’s command, the Tao Tie.

Besides obeying his master’s orders, his biggest hobby was eating.
