Chapter 318: Be my mate (2)
Chapter 318: Be my mate (2)
Her eyes were fixed on Chen Tian's figure in the distance. She felt a surge of relief and joy as she watched him, easing her worries and hopes.
She didn't know how he escaped such an attack, but Baihu didn't care.
The most important thing was that he was alive.
At that time, Baihu was already prepared to fight Yecha, but before she could, her nose twitched as she recognized a familiar scent in the air.
Sure enough, this scent was none other than Chen Tian's fragrance. With him being the only cultivator Baihu had seen in her entire life, she wasn't going to let him slip away.
She had instantly familiarized herself with his scent, which is why, when Yecha's attack landed on Chen Tian, she had lost Chen Tian's scent amidst the vicious destruction.
The only thing she could think of was that he was dead. But Just when she was on the verge of losing hope, she caught a faint whiff of his fragrance in the distance.
That's why her anger was reduced; she didn't fight and just left in Chen Tian's direction.
Just when she was about to reach him, a loud explosion shook the ground and sent debris flying everywhere.
Chen Tian, with a speed that left a trail of thunder, flew in another direction and started creating more distance between them.
Baihu froze, confused and unsure of what was happening.
Ignoring the sting in her lungs from the dust, a smile formed on her lips as she watched Chen Tian's impressive display of speed.
"Heheh~ so my mate wants to play a game of chase, huh, ~?" Baihu thought to herself as she picked up the pace.
She surged forward like a tiger stalking prey. Dust billowed in her wake, momentarily obscuring her slender frame.
The earth seemed to blur beneath her feet.
To Baihu's surprise, despite her efforts, she couldn't catch up to Chen Tian, who maintained a considerable lead.
A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment realm was faster than a Nascent Soul cultivator, which made Baihu even more curious about Chen Tian.
A bright light shone in her eyes as she pushed herself harder, her speed increasing as green energy swirled around her body.
Whooshh~~!
The wind howled, morphing into miniature green blades that tore through the air, propelling her forward with unparalleled speed.
"Hehe, after this race, we'll definitely have to take our time to get to know each other," Baihu thought with a grin as she focused on closing the gap between her and Chen Tian.
She was enjoying the thrill of the chase, but Chen Tian was feeling the pressure mounting as Baihu kept following behind him.
"Fuck, is this woman crazy?! Why is she this persistent?!" Chen Tian cried inwardly, his heart racing as he tried to outmaneuver her.
But Baihu was relentless. With each stride, she closed the distance between them, the green energy around her crackling with power.
Chen Tian could feel her making use of the wind law close to her, and it wasn't a weak law at that.
Both of them had already traveled a great distance and arrived at another city.
Chen Tian's heart sank as he realized there was no escaping Baihu's pursuit.
Even with the lightning god mode (Crystal), his flying speed wasn't enough to evade a Nascent Soul realm expert.
Not to mention, this woman was probably a wind law divine beast, her speed far surpassing that of a normal Nascent Soul.
Realizing that the lightning god mode was already activated, he knew he was running out of time.
"What do you want?!" Chen Tian yelled, coming to a stop and turning to face Baihu.
It was clear that he had no choice but to confront her, even though he knew the outcome would likely not be in his favor.
He had already learned his lesson not to use too much spiritual energy, as others could sense his presence.
The earth was too small, so he had to be careful with how far other beings' senses could reach.
Baihu halted in front of him, her eyes radiating fierce determination.
"Are you truly a cultivator?" Baihu asked in an excited tone; she wanted Chen Tian to confirm his identity as a cultivator.
In her mind, she had already begun to imagine how many kids she would give birth to and how powerful they would become with a cultivator as their father.
'He's handsome too~'
Now that she took a closer look at Chen Tian, Baihu noticed that his looks did more than just explain how handsome he was.
His white hair with some black streaks gave him a mysterious and powerful aura. His eyes, the color of the deepest sapphire, held a spark that both captivated and intimidated.
They were like twin celestial bodies.
Baihu was completely entranced by him, feeling drawn to his presence in a way she couldn't quite explain.
Of course, it wasn't the only thing that made Baihu feel drawn to Chen Tian. Beauty doesn't mean everything to her, or she would have already been married.
The most compelling aspect for a compatible partner for Baihu was his strength. The way he carried himself, the confidence in his movements, and the unwavering determination in his eyes all spoke of a man who could weather any storm.
Although Chen Tian's cultivation was in the Foundation Establishment realm and was inferior in terms of strength, Baihu sensed that he was more complex than he appeared.
He was probably the last cultivator on earth, not to mention he survived the attack of someone considered the same level as her. Baihu couldn't help but be intrigued by Chen Tian.
"Huh?"
Chen Tian looked up, surprised by Baihu's sudden question, but he still decided to reply to her question.
"Yes, I am a cultivator."
He kept his focus on the woman in front of him, trying to understand what she was planning.
Hearing his confirmation, Baihu nodded, her lips curving into a subtle, knowing smile.
"Heheh, I knew it!" Baihu exclaimed, feeling a sense of excitement at meeting a cultivator of the legends.
She had many questions she wanted to ask him, and she couldn't wait to learn more about him.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about me; I am not here to hurt you," Baihu reassured him with a friendly tone.
She sensed that Chen Tian was a bit wary of her, but she hoped to put him at ease with her words.
"…"
"My name is Baihu, and I am a tiger divine beast," she continued, introducing herself to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian only kept listening to her and noticed the soft fur on Baihu's head as she spoke. It was a calming sight.
"The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew I had found the right one! So from now on… can you be my mate!"
"Heh!"
A weird expression crossed Chen Tian's face as he processed Baihu's unexpected proposal.
