Eternal Tale

Chapter 221: Dao Title: Xiao Chi

Aboard the flying boat, three figures of varying sizes stood at the stern, beneath the Crane Spirit Five-Element Tree.

The Flameglow Ancient Lion was filled with excitement, gazing at the clouds drifting by. It had never flown this high before. The higher they ascended, the stronger the flying spiritual beasts they encountered.

But after the initial thrill, a wave of fear washed over it. The vast expanse of the Heaven’s End Plains below was becoming increasingly faint, and it was starting to wish it could return to the ground…

"Moo moo~" The black bull nudged the lion, snapping it out of its daze. A bead of cold sweat rolled down the lion's face as it shuddered, turning to look at the black bull.

"Lion, do you have a Dao title?" Chen Xun asked, leaning against the tree with a soft smile. He was cloaked in the shadow of the Crane Spirit Tree. "I thought Nascent Soul cultivators usually have some sort of Dao title."

"Elder, I’ve always lived in the Heaven’s End Plains. I never needed a Dao title," the Flameglow Ancient Lion replied with an awkward grin. It had taken on the form of a Tibetan Mastiff, but with a strange, mystical air. A faint red mark ran down the middle of its forehead.

Its mane was a tangled mess, shaking with every movement, and combined with its somewhat sleazy expression, it gave off a "harmless, bumbling" appearance—despite its true power.

"You haven’t been properly introduced yet. Old Bull, come over here."

"Moo~" The black bull took a few steps forward, rubbing against Chen Xun. Behind them, the Crane Spirit Five-Element Tree glowed faintly with soft light.

"I’m Chen Xun. From now on, call me Brother Xun. The black bull here is Ximen Heiniu. You can just call him Brother Ox," Chen Xun said with a hearty laugh, motioning behind him. "That over there is Xiao He, your future Brother He. It’s not sentient yet, but it will be one day!"

"Moo moo~~" The black bull lifted its head proudly, feeling quite satisfied with its newfound seniority.

"Greetings, Brother Xun! Brother Ox! Brother He!" the Flameglow Ancient Lion exclaimed joyfully. It even ran a quick lap around them, bowing to each one in turn. This meant they had truly accepted it, not as a mere mount, but as a companion.

"I’ll give you a name," Chen Xun said thoughtfully.

"Please, Brother Xun, bestow me with a name!" the lion replied eagerly.
