Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

Kong Rui reached out as Kong Yao’s soft body pounced into her arms.

Kong Shu transformed into a little girl and rushed into Kong Rui’s arms as well.

As Kong Rui sized up the two little fellows, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Have the two of you… grown taller?”

!!

Kong Yao looked up at Kong Rui excitedly. “Master, you just realized it?! The two of us have grown up!”

Kong Rui let go of the two little fellows and took two steps back to size them up.

As expected, the two little fellows had already grown from three to four years old to seven or eight years old.

“How did this happen?” Kong Rui asked curiously. “Could it be that you two encountered some fortuitous opportunity?”

“How impressive of you to guess it!” Kong Yao’s eyes lit up.

Kong Shu also smiled, revealing two rows of perfectly aligned teeth. “We encountered a Night Beast and even sucked it dry!”

When Kong Yao heard Kong Shu reveal it all on her own, he immediately roared angrily, “How can you do this?! We agreed to tell master together!”

Kong Shu stuck out her tongue. “I couldn’t help it!”

“You’re always like this! You just want to snatch our master’s attention!” Kong Yao was even angrier.

Kong Shu wasn’t to be outdone and she shouted at Kong Yao, “You’ve been by master’s side for so long. I just returned…”

…

Kong Rui was exasperated by their argument.

Kong Rui couldn’t help but separate the two little fellows who were about to fight and she shouted at the two of them, “Stop! Stop arguing! Which one of you will tell me what the Night Beast looks like? Where did it come from?”

Kong Rui had seen records of Night Beasts in ancient books before, but most of those records were very vague. Even what the Night Beast looked like was unclear.

Although Kong Yao and Kong Shu were young, they were the descendants of ancient spirit beasts after all, so they naturally knew the species and levels of spirit beasts much better.

When Kong Yao heard Kong Rui’s question, he immediately grabbed her hand and said, “Master! I’ll tell you! The Night Beast first came from the distant Western Continent. It’s called a reindeer over there. The Night Beast is huge, much larger than the spirit beasts we usually see on the five continents.”

Kong Shu glared at Kong Yao and continued, “Night Beasts are famous for their nocturnal activities and are rarely ever tamed. Therefore, most of them appear alone in dark forests. We didn’t expect to encounter a Night Beast on Spirit Mountain this time! It was simply too unexpected!”

Kong Yao interrupted again. “Moreover, that Night Beast appeared to be an adult and was close to breaking through. If not for the two of us joining forces, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to defeat it so easily!”

“If Night Beasts are so powerful, why haven’t I heard of it in the Demon Abyss before?” Kong Rui couldn’t help but be curious.

If such a terrifying spirit beast really appeared on Spirit Mountain, the Demon Abyss should have sensed it long ago!

Kong Yao frowned as he pondered over it seriously.

Kong Shu had never lived in the Demon Abyss, so she naturally didn’t know the situation in the Demon Abyss. However, Kong Yao had been following Kong Rui, so he was also puzzled by Kong Rui’s question.

“Master, you’re right! If this beast was already on Spirit Mountain, it should have been discovered very quickly!” Kong Yao shook his head and looked like he was thinking hard about it.

“Did someone else bring it over?” Kong Shu suggested.

Kong Rui bit her lip as she thought about it for a moment. “In that case, this Night Beast probably has a master.”

“As for who its owner is and how that person actually raised such a spirit beast…” Kong Rui frowned as she pondered over it. She felt that this matter was related to the five great clans.

“Since we sucked that Night Beast dry, will its master find trouble with us?” Kong Shu was a little worried.

Seeing the frown on her face, Kong Rui immediately smiled and reached out to gently smooth out the creases. “Don’t worry! I’m here! Let’s talk about it first. Has the matter I asked you guys to do been settled?!”

Kong Yao spoke first, “Master, we discovered that there are many corpses that have been bitten clean by spirit beasts in the periphery of Spirit Mountain.”
