In the early hours of dawn, the eastern sky was tinged with a pale white.
It was time for the lynx tribe to take turns guarding.
However, last night was especially unusual; the desert lynxes were extremely anxious and restless, unable to sleep.
They dared not make any noise and occasionally glanced towards the sleeping man and lynx under the tree, fearful of waking the two Godslayers.
To the eyes of the desert lynxes, this scene did not follow the usual norms.
Humans were undoubtedly their prey.
Desert lynxes generally adhered to "consume upon capture," rarely keeping food overnight.
From a human's perspective, this scene was also quite unsettling.
If Du Yu was resting against the big cat, the scene would be appropriate.
But now it was the other way around.
Poor Du Yu was pressed down by the giant beast, squeezed under the tree, only half of his upper body visible.
His breathing was difficult, and the Demon Breath around him was incredibly dense, almost as if the breath within him was forcibly being squeezed out.
It was very peculiar!
"Meow~" The silent morning was suddenly broken by a soft moan.
The silver lynx opened its drowsy eyes, lazily stretching, fully enveloped in pure Demon Breath, enjoying its comfort immensely.
"Uh." Du Yu was instantly awakened by the pressure.
He reached his hand out to his chest, pushing hard to create breathing space, and took a deep breath.
"Meow?" The silver lynx sensed some mischief afoot; Demon Soul emerged from her body, detecting the struggling tiny human.
Unexpectedly, the silver lynx's playful side emerged, and she slightly tilted her body...
Du Yu: "..."
He was completely drowned in the silver ocean, reminiscent of a dark and sunless day.
Du Yu's Demon Soul floated out: "Isn't the bet over by now? It's already morning."
"Loser doesn't get to speak."
"Wasn't it me who taught you the Twin Desolate Lynx, and this is how you treat your mentor?"
The silver lynx paid no attention to what Du Yu said; she comfortably leaned against the tree, burying the human cushion within her: "Did you release this Demon Breath?"
"Yes, I was cultivating... Well, I need to leave."
"Hm?"
Du Yu helplessly said: "You've acquired the Twin Desolate Lynx, and your strength has significantly improved.
If I don't summon the Demon Pet, relying solely on my own power, it's tough to contend with you."
The word 'contend' was used quite accurately.
Even in a 1V1, Du Yu could only fend off attacks from the lynx king; he didn't have the means to win.
Of course, Du Yu is a Demon Tamer.
Having him go one-on-one with the beast king would be incredibly unfair.
The world's assessment of a Demon Tamer's power is mostly focused on the strength of their Demon Pets rather than themselves.
Du Yu continued: "I'll challenge you once more after my strength makes a breakthrough."
As he spoke, Du Yu's heart sank.
No, this idea is wrong; aiming for another breakthrough means heading towards becoming a Great Demon Tamer.
The Thousand Blade Mountain Demon Spirit Realm does not permit those at the Great Demon Tamer stage to enter.
The silver lynx suddenly stood up.
Du Yu felt a lightness on his body, as the massive mountain of flesh finally moved, making his breathing much smoother.
A giant beast head slowly lowered, and a pair of beast eyes fixed on Du Yu: "Human, you are my prey, captured alive.
You think you can leave just because you want to."
"Stop joking." Du Yu tapped her nose with his hand and suddenly proposed, "Do you want to come home with me?"
Upon hearing this, the silver lynx was visibly taken aback.
Du Yu shrugged his shoulders: "My strength grows rapidly, and if I level up, I won't be able to enter this desert any longer.
We won't be able to meet in the future.
Are you willing to come home with me? My home is very safe; you can enjoy a leisurely life and the pleasures of being a cat.
You won't have to worry about food anymore; I'll buy you lots of delicious things..."
The silver lynx quietly watched Du Yu; such a proposal would undoubtedly alter her life path.
Du Yu continued to tempt: "You've seen Xiaoyan, who defeated you; she's the Three-tailed Fire Fox."
"Meow!" The silver lynx was very dissatisfied, her heart full of unwillingness, "I didn't lose; you all ganged up on me."
She still believed Du Yu's victory that night was undeserved.
Du Yu's face was peculiar: "Weren't you the one ganging up on me with two against one?"
"It's different! The Twin Desolate Lynx is a part of me; that's my own ability!"
Du Yu laughed: "Twin Desolate Lynx? Didn't you refer to it as the king in the desert... uh, what did you call it again?"
Silver lynx: "..."
Du Yu: "Speak up?"
The silver lynx gave Du Yu a fierce look and turned her head aside: "I forgot."
Du Yu couldn't help but grin; my goodness~
Not justified, but still confident?
Du Yu was too lazy to argue with her: "You've also met the Dust Spirit Deer and the Chi Bear; they're both my Demon Pets, and you can cultivate together in the future.
We will visit many places, discover more battlegrounds and creatures; how about it?"
Silver lynx: "I have clansmen; they need my guidance."
Du Yu: "You've already led your tribe to the mountain peak, enjoying the Sandstone Fruit Tree; there's no need to worry about food and drink.
"Moreover, as an oppressive ruler, do you really think they like your rule?"
Du Yu was quite sure that this group of Desert Lynxes were eager for the Silver Lynx to leave!
"Hmph." The Silver Lynx glanced at the clansmen nearby. Wherever her fierce gaze met, the Desert Lynxes all prostrated themselves in submission.
Watching the trembling Desert Lynxes, Du Yu stood up and wrapped his arm around the Silver Lynx's head, forcing her to look away: "Stop scaring them."
Du Yu wouldn't criticize the oppressive actions of the Silver Lynx.
You can't judge the creatures surviving under the law of the jungle from the perspective of civilized society and modern people.
Generally speaking, wild beasts living in groups have leaders, and the hierarchy within the group is extremely strict.
This is the law of nature, and it's the foundation for a group to continue, thrive, and grow.
Du Yu stroked the big cat vigorously: "Here you have nothing to do, spending day after day watching the sunrise and sunset, living off Sandstone Fruits.
Why not come back with me to enjoy a more comfortable and cozy environment.
If you want to fight, I can guarantee you right now. My future will definitely not lack battlefields nor enemies."
With that, Du Yu moved his steps and cupped the Silver Lynx's head with both hands, gazing into the huge beast eyes: "Come with me."
Du Yu's tone was sincere, and his eyes even more so.
He didn't paint an unrealistic picture, his heart was absolutely certain: This king of heterochromatic should not be confined to a small Thousand Blade Mountain!
On the mountain peak, silence prevailed.
The huge beast eyes quietly gazed into Du Yu's.
No one knew how long, accompanied by the screeching cry of a Gale Eagle slicing through the sky, the Silver Lynx gently nodded.
Du Yu felt a surge of excitement in his heart and hugged the huge beast head.
A wild Spirit-level Divine Beast is not something ordinary people can tame, let alone one that is a king of heterochromatic!
Even if one were lucky enough to tame it, the Divine Beast might not necessarily obey its master's commands.
The Spirit-level Demon Pets of the Liu Family siblings during the final exams half a year ago were the best proof!
Du Yu didn't know how the Liu Family siblings succeeded, perhaps with the help from family elders or some other transaction.
Regardless, Du Yu was certain that his Silver Lynx was different from the unruly and indifferent Spirit-level Demon Beasts of the Liu Family!
Because he did not use any underhanded methods.
The nod from the Silver Lynx this time was exchanged by Du Yu's sincerity and dedication!
"Let's go home!" Du Yu hugged the furry large head, his cheeks nestled deep in the silver fur, rubbing back and forth.
Silver Lynx: "..."
She was somewhat disdainful, leaning back, evidently aware of the transformation in the Human Race's attitude.
Ever since she nodded, the little Human Race's actions have become quite presumptuous, even intimate?
"Meow~" The silver big cat finally got annoyed being rubbed against, she raised her head trying to break free from Du Yu's embrace.
However, Du Yu took advantage of the momentum, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on her back.
"Haha!" Du Yu laughed heartily, his joy was uncontrollable, and all the creatures on the North Peak could feel it.
...
When Du Yu rode the Silver Lynx to the Otherworld Gate, several guards at the gate were dumbfounded!
Heterochromatic Demon Pet?
Moreover... this seems to be the Mountain Guardian Beast of North Peak?
Under the stunned gaze of the guards, Du Yu walked straight out the gate.
Thousand Blade Mountain is not a Newbie Realm, Demon Tamers pay entrance fees to cultivate, and the Demon Spirit Squad doesn't interfere much.
Of course, Du Yu had a ring, granting him free passage through all the level-three realms under the Ancient Pine Tower's jurisdiction.
There were not many Demon Tamers on the street, but the exclamations were very loud!
Du Yu couldn't care much, urging the Silver Lynx to speed up, heading towards the car.
"Ring ring~ ring~"
The door of the Demon Spirit Bookstore was forcefully pushed open.
Qi Shanshan quickly walked out, watching as the Silver Lynx got into the car's trunk, her excitement was beyond measure.
"Congratulations, Du Yu!" Qi Shanshan said with excitement, waving continuously on her tiptoes.
Half a month ago, Lin Shiwei's advice still lingered in her ears.
Half a month later, Du Yu indeed took away the heterochromatic king of North Peak!
Du Yu stretched out his hand from the car, waved goodbye to the store assistant, and the vehicle headed straight for the highway entrance.
The Silver Lynx crouched in the back trunk, watching the fast-retreating street scene until the trunk door slowly closed, then turning to look ahead.
Just right, Du Yu's gaze met her beast eyes through the rearview mirror.
Slowly, a phantom of a giant lynx emerged, passing through the seats, covering toward Du Yu's body: "This is the outside world."
"Haven't you seen it before? Just now the street and that bookstore building?"
"I once observed from inside, all Beast Race creatures trying to break out were forced back or killed by the Human Race.
The Human Race didn't stop me because I'm with you, right?"
Du Yu: "Yes, we are partners now. All your actions and the consequences will be my responsibility."
"Hmm?"
Du Yu suddenly said: "If your clansmen attack you, trying to replace you as the new king, what would you do?"
"It will die."
Du Yu nodded: "Like yours, the Human Race also has its rules, and if violated, there will be corresponding punishments."
The Silver Lynx licked her lips, remaining silent.
Du Yu comforted: "Don't feel restricted, I will help you integrate into the new world. Trust me, you will live comfortably and brilliantly."
Feeling Du Yu's sincerity again, the huge Demon Soul slowly receded: "Alright."
"Hehe." Du Yu chuckled, looking at the endless road ahead.
