Chapter 30: ‘Ex-Husband’ and ‘Ex-Wife’ Meet Far from Home!
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, after Gu Fei fully unleashed his aura, the once chaotic and arrogant low-level magical beasts fell into an instant silence.
Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King paused momentarily.
Gu Fei lightly stepped forward, his movements as casual as a stroll. Yet, after a sudden burst of sound, he instantly appeared in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The speed was so terrifyingly fast that even the Lion King couldn't react in time.
Standing before the Lion King, Gu Fei appeared as small as an ant, but the Lion King sensed an extremely dangerous aura- a long lost feeling of death. After dominating this mountain range, the Lion King hadn't felt such a terrifying threat in a long time.

The rapid heartbeat made the Lion King's scalp tingle. It roared and instinctively extended its massive claw to strike Gu Fei.
The Lion King didn't hold back at all, using its full strength because its instincts told it that if it dared to underestimate Gu Fei, even slightly, it would definitely die.
Yun Yun's face changed when she saw the Lion King's sudden strike. Although she could sense Gu Fei's power, his body seemed too fragile compared to the Lion King's enormous frame.

'Will he be okay if that claw hits him?'
However, in the next moment, the Lion King's heavy claw, which was as mighty as a
mountain, suddenly stopped in mid-air as if it had hit a brake, unable to press down even an inch further.
At the same time, the sound of intense metallic collision echoed through the sky, the harsh noise and the massive energy explosion at the center of the clash causing nearby low-level magical beasts to spit out blood.
Yun Yun, not blinking, focused her gaze. She squinted and realized that Gu Fei had stretched out a single hand. That tiny hand, compared to the giant claw, was like an ant beside an elephant, yet it had intercepted the descending giant claw.

"How is this possible?" Yun Yun exclaimed.
Her seal had almost completely been lifted, allowing her to sense the external energy fluctuations. What shocked her was that she could feel that Gu Fei hadn't used any Dou Qi energy! He had merely stretched out one hand and blocked a full-strength attack from a sixth-rank magical beast using only his physical strength! And this wasn't just any sixth-rank magical beast!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a sharp pain from its claw the moment its attack was effortlessly blocked by Gu Fei.

It instinctively retracted its claw quickly, feeling a surge of fear. The Lion King, being more powerful than Yun Yun and a wise magical beast, had considerable knowledge. It could naturally sense that Gu Fei had blocked the attack using only his physical strength. Moreover, Gu Fei's expression remained calm, even showing a hint of ease.
Magical beasts were always known for their strong bodies, while humans often had a weakness in their physical form. But now, the roles were completely reversed. Gu Fei could easily block the Lion King's full-force strike without using any Dou Qi.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's fur stood on end, and its pupils shrank. How terrifying must Gu Fei's physique be?
Gu Fei shook his hand, feeling that the challenge was not even worth his effort. He remembered seeing on the system panel that his physique was at level 78, equivalent to the physical strength of a late-stage seventh-rank magical beast with a royal bloodline.
In the later stages of a magical beast's cultivation, each rank was a qualitative leap. The gap between the sixth and seventh ranks was already vast, not to mention the added strength of a royal bloodline. If Gu Fei got serious, he could easily defeat the Amethyst Winged Lion King with just his physical strength!
Finding a magical beast that barely matched his preferences was not easy, so Gu Fei decided to try persuading it one more time before his patience ran out.
"Believe me, becoming my mount will be the most intelligent decision you've ever made in your life."
"In the future, reaching the seventh rank or even the eighth rank is possible, which is far better than staying confined in this mountain range."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels hesitation. Emotion Value +50
After using his strength to intimidate the Lion King, Gu Fei understood the importance of combining threat with reward, so he offered some conditions.
Gu Fei smiled faintly as he noticed the Lion King was still hesitating and spoke again, "I'll also give you a Body Transformation Pill."
With such a perfect blend of threat and reward and the potential Gu Fei had shown, the Lion King finally wavered.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels uncertainty. Emotion Value +50
Following such a future peerless expert, even as a mount, didn't seem too disgraceful. Moreover, Gu Fei had already given him enough respect. If the Lion King still refused, it would likely face death today. Even worse, its cubs in the cave would be in danger too. "Greetings, Master!" the Lion King said. Thus, after weighing its options, the proud Amethyst Winged Lion King finally chose to bow its head and submit to Gu Fei.
"Good!" Gu Fei nodded with a smile.
Below, Yun Yun witnessed the entire scene.
Yun Yun feels astonishment. Emotion Value +100
She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak. Gu Fei's power constantly shattered her understanding, far exceeding her imagination. Yun Yun couldn't help but wonder, "Does such a monster really exist?"
In the sky, Gu Fei continued to instruct the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "Now that you've submitted, prepare to leave this mountain range with me. As for your cub, take care of it
yourself."
Then he descended to the ground, approaching Yun Yun.
Yun Yun feels embarrassed. Emotion Value +100
It was rare for Yun Yun to feel awkward. She had thought he was boasting earlier, yet now, her attitude toward Gu Fei had quietly changed. She no longer regarded him as a young, immature warrior. This was a natural reaction of the weak to the strong. Also, thinking about how she had even suggested recommending Gu He to him earlier, she couldn't help but find it laughable.
Gu Fei smiled slightly, about to tease the usually emotionless ice-cold beauty. Suddenly, his brow furrowed as he looked eastward.
"Why is she here?" he muttered.
Yun Yun, puzzled, followed his gaze but remained silent.
Gu Fei frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. "What are these two doing here to disturb me?"
Even though Xun'er and Ling Ying hadn't intentionally revealed their aura, Gu Fei's powerful soul sensed that they were approaching this location.
