I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

At this moment, Lin Che, along with the old patriarch of the Fujiang Crocodile Turtle clan and the Cangming Flood Dragon and other spirit beasts around him, all looked at the Golden Lion Beast, which seemed somewhat dazed and confused, with a mixture of surprise, realization, and a bit of sympathy.

Lin Che shook his head helplessly.

He did not release the Golden Lion Beast from the Azure Mystic Realm to observe the battle immediately.

It was precisely because they were worried that this proud and arrogant clan leader, who had just submitted, would be disheartened and lose heart after witnessing the whole process of being "usurped" from his position.

Who could have predicted that something like this would happen?

"My daughter?! What... what on earth is going on?!"

The golden lion beast's voice trembled slightly, filled with disbelief and shock.

The enormous head turned back and forth, its gaze shifting between the female golden lion beast blocking the Yaren beast's path and the Yaren beast, whose fierce aura clearly carried a protective intent.

"Daughter? Isn't she a wife?" The old patriarch of the Alligator Turtle Clan beside Lin Che muttered in a deep voice.

Cangming Jiao and the old patriarch of Fujiang Crocodile Turtle exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes. They turned their heads away at the same time, pretending to study the patterns on the cave walls.

It turns out they misunderstood and got excited for nothing.

Lin Che couldn't help but chuckle.

So this isn't a drama about seizing family property and stealing a wife, but rather a family ethics drama where "a powerful son-in-law comes to the door and 'invites' his father-in-law out!"

This plot development might seem unbelievable in human society.

But in the world of monsters, where the law of the jungle prevails and strength reigns supreme... well, you know what, it actually fits their simple and straightforward nature.

After all, two tigers cannot share one mountain, and a tribe usually only has one strongest leader.

Lin Che had a slight doubt in his mind just now.

According to the beast-taming inheritance records attached to the "Ten Thousand Beasts Paying Homage to the Ancestor" manual, ferocious beasts like the Ya Ren Beast are violent, arrogant, and vengeful.

Most of them are lone hunters, and very few have the habit of taking the initiative to lead a group or become the "leader".

So that's the root of the problem—it's all about being with the female beast he desires.

Judging from their posture, the two spirit beasts have probably known each other for quite some time and have a deep bond.

Judging from the strength that the Yaren Beast just displayed, which almost completely overwhelmed the Golden Lion Beast Chieftain, it's clear that...

He was fully capable of killing or severely injuring his opponent, but he only "drove" him away, clearly showing mercy, mostly out of consideration for his partner.

As for whether interracial couples can reproduce?

This is not a problem at all in the vast and magical world of cultivation.

Just look at the many "Dragon Blood Beasts" in the world that possess a thin layer of dragon blood.

While the probability of offspring being born from the union of different species of spirit beasts is relatively low, it is by no means impossible. It is even possible that powerful individuals with mutated bloodlines and the advantages of both parents could be born.

……

At this moment, the anger, resentment, and flames of revenge on the Golden Lion Beast's face had long since died down, replaced by immense bewilderment, astonishment, and a hint of suppressed frustration.

He looked at his daughter, who was standing in front of the Yaren Beast with a stubborn look in her eyes, and then at the Yaren Beast, which was still struggling to stand up despite being seriously injured, trying to protect his daughter behind it. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Seeing this, Lin Che knew that this was a good opportunity to resolve the conflict and deepen understanding.

He waved his hand, signaling all the spirit beasts to step back a few steps with him, leaving the center of the arena to the Golden Lion Beast family of three (or perhaps soon they would be a family of three).

Clearly, the spirit beasts present understood that the patriarch intended to subdue this group of metal-attribute demon beasts with considerable potential.

They had gone through a similar process to join the Lin family back then, so they resonated with this scene and were happy to see it happen.

Although they retreated, not a single spirit beast suggested returning to the secret realm. They all pricked up their ears, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and gossip, ready to listen to the details of this family drama.

The golden lion beast slowly approached.

The female golden lion beast, standing in front of the Yaren beast, became even more resolute, raising her head and saying, "Father! Whatever you're doing, come at me! Don't hurt him!!"

Upon hearing this, the Yaren Beast behind him hurriedly used its bone blades to prop itself up on the ground, struggling to straighten its body further, and growled:

"Little Jin, step aside! This is a matter between your father and me, and I should bear it myself! Chief Yue... Chief Jinni, this is a battle between us, don't make things difficult for her!"

Hearing Yaren Beast almost blurt out "father-in-law" in his haste.

Seeing his daughter's unwavering protectiveness, the Golden Lion Beast felt his head buzzing, and a huge question mark almost materialized above his head.

I was the one who was robbed of my position as clan leader and driven out of my home, so why am I being made to look like the villain who tried to break up a loving couple?!

He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, wanting to question, but a thousand words reached his lips, ultimately turning into a long sigh filled with helplessness and vicissitude: "Alas—!"

He steadied himself, looked at his daughter with a serious expression, his tone softening slightly, yet still carrying an undeniable parental authority:

"Forget about that... Girl, tell me, what's going on between you two? How did you meet?"

Now that things have come to this, he gradually comes to terms with it.

The other party did not intend to hunt down his tribe, but rather to use the methods of a demon beast to compete for the leadership position through strength, thereby gaining the right to mate with the best female beast in the tribe.

This is exactly the same thing he did when he defeated the old chieftain and took over the tribe.

His daughter had clearly accepted and chosen this powerful outsider.

Reflecting on the previous battle, I realized I was no match for my opponent; they clearly held back at the end.

Simply asking someone to leave is a sign of strength and tact, and in the world of monsters, it's already a form of recognition and respect.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had actually acknowledged the other party's strength.

My daughter has made up her mind again...

Well, perhaps it's not such a bad thing that my daughter has found such a powerful partner.

But deep down, I still felt a little uneasy.

Sensing the relaxation and concern in her father's tone, Xiao Jin's tense nerves relaxed slightly. She lowered her head, somewhat shy yet determined, and began to recount the past of how the two spirit beasts met.

The spirit beasts watching immediately perked up, exchanging glances that said, "There's definitely a story here," and "Listen carefully," their ears pricked up as if they wanted to stick even closer.

The story is actually not complicated; it even contains a touch of fateful coincidence and a kind of fantastical romance.

Many years ago, the Yaren Beast was trapped in a dangerous place for many years due to some reason, and it was only after exhausting its strength that it was able to barely escape.

At that time, his demonic power was exhausted, he was covered in wounds, and he lay dying in the wilderness, almost starving to death.

Just then, a young and lively little goldfish, who was out hunting for food, passed by. Seeing his pitiful state, it shared some of the food it had hunted with him and then left on its own.

The Yaren Beast is fierce and vengeful, but it also remembers kindness and believes in repaying kindness tenfold.

He left a unique mark of "grudge" on Xiao Jin.

The signer can sense when the person being marked is in mortal danger or experiencing intense emotional distress.

Later, during a hunt, Xiao Jin unexpectedly encountered a powerful enemy and found himself in danger.

It was this mark that alerted the distant Yaren Beast, who, despite his own unhealed injuries, forced his way across the vast distance to save Xiao Jin at the last minute.

It was this scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress, and that powerful figure that always appeared "just in time" when she was in danger, that left a deep impression on Xiao Jin's heart.

Two equally powerful, proud, and lonely spirit beasts thus began to make contact.

Hunting together, fighting enemies... In the process of fighting side by side and supporting each other, feelings quietly grow, and eventually, they develop feelings for each other.

However, Yaren Beast knew that in order to stay with Xiaojin for a long time, it had to gain the approval of its clan.

The simplest and most direct way is to follow the laws of monsters, challenge and replace the clan leader, and become the new leader.

Therefore, he chose the most extreme method—to directly challenge the Golden Lion Beast Chieftain.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jin was away from the clan at the time, so the scene of "son-in-law beating father-in-law and seizing the mountain" unfolded.

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he looked at his father with a complicated expression and pleading in his eyes:

"Father, that's how it is. Please let him go. If you can't accept it, we can leave the tribe, go far away, and never come back to disturb your lives again."

After hearing this tortuous story, which was filled with the straightforward emotions unique to monsters, the golden lion beast's expression changed again and again, finally turning into a complex sigh.

Can he blame his daughter?

In the world of monsters, admiration for the strong is innate.

Can he blame the Yaren Beast?

The other party won over his partner in the most honorable way, even showing leniency to his "father-in-law".

This feeling was stuck in my chest, I couldn't get it out or down.

Suddenly, he remembered something and turned his gaze to Lin Che, who had been standing quietly by the side with a smile on his face.

He had not forgotten his promise to Lin Che.

Although things took a completely different turn from what was initially expected, the Golden Lion Beast still possessed its own pride and integrity.

Now that the other party has helped him take revenge, he will not go back on his word, nor will he have any other thoughts.

He had decided to follow this unfathomable human monk.

Lin Che understood immediately and knew it was his turn to step in.

With a gentle and infectious smile on his face, he slowly walked forward, while quietly activating the "Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts".

A peaceful spiritual wave spread out like a warm current.

The aura enveloped the Golden Lion Beast father and daughter, the Yaren Beast, and the six Golden Lion Beast clan members who had been watching nervously from a distance, not daring to step forward and get involved in the "family dispute."

"Hello," Lin Che's voice was clear and steady, carrying a reassuring power that resonated in the hearts of all the spirit beasts.

He looked at the Golden Lion Beast Clan Chief and nodded slightly.

"My name is Lin Che, your clan leader, and also your father. I have made an important decision."

He will leave this secret realm with me, to venture into a wider world, to seek greater power, and to witness a more wondrous realm.

His gaze drifted out of the cave, as if it could pierce through the rock walls and reach the boundless sky:

"This place, Burial Valley, is indeed your home, but it is ultimately just a limited secret realm."

The outside world is vast and boundless, with boundless oceans and majestic mountains, full of wonder and opportunities, far surpassing anything this small place can offer.

After a pause, Lin Che's gaze turned to the Yaren Beast:

"Ya Ren Beast, do you feel that your cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and no matter how hard you cultivate or how much evil energy you absorb, you can't make any further progress?"

The Yaren Beast's body trembled, a hint of surprise flashing in its vertical pupils, before it nodded heavily.

This has been his biggest source of confusion for many years; no matter how hard he tries, he just can't break through.

"This is the limitation of this place!"

Lin Che stated firmly, "The spatial laws of this secret realm can only support you at your current level. If you want to break through, become stronger, and witness the true vastness of the world, you must venture out!"

He gently patted the broad, sturdy shoulder of the Golden Lion Beast Chieftain:

"It was precisely because he wanted to break through his own limitations and pursue a stronger path that he chose to believe in me and walk with me. Together, we will explore that new world full of infinite possibilities."

Lin Che's words cleverly transformed the Golden Lion Beast's "choosing to submit after helping him take revenge" into "an active choice to pursue a higher realm."

This preserved the dignity of the clan leader while also painting an alluring picture of the future.

This action was clearly very effective. A hint of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the Golden Lion Beast Clan Chief, and he looked at Lin Che with even greater admiration.

The Golden Lion Beast Chieftain took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision. He turned to look at the still tense Yaren Beast, his voice booming with the air of a clan leader:

"Kid! I... I agree to you being with my daughter!"

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes, and the tense body of the Yaren Beast visibly relaxed.

But the Golden Lion Beast Chieftain abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious:

"But! You can't take my daughter away! If she wants to stay, she has to come with us! This is where she's lived for so long, this is her home!"

A familiar fighting spirit ignited in his eyes: "One day in the future, I will challenge you again, fair and square, in a fair contest, and defeat you!"

This last sentence seemed to be an attempt to regain face and also indicated his attitude.

Although I've accepted you, I'm not going to submit to you.

The Yaren Beast immediately looked at Xiao Jin.

Seeing the surprise and anticipation in her eyes, she was asking for his opinion with her gaze.

His last lingering doubts vanished, his expression hardening. He nodded emphatically to Little Gold, then looked at the Golden Lion Beast Clan Chief, his voice resounding:

"Okay! I promise you! Xiao Jin and I will stay and journey with our people!"

Then, his gaze turned to Lin Che. Although his breathing was unsteady due to his serious injuries, his eyes were exceptionally clear and solemn:

"Human cultivator, although the way you won against me..."

He glanced at the Fujiang Crocodile Turtle and the Cangming Dragon, who were rubbing their hands together, clearly having enjoyed their "siege" earlier, and his meaning was self-evident.

"It wasn't entirely aboveboard, but according to the rules, you and your spirit beasts proved your strength with your power."

I approve of you!

From this day forward, I will serve you as my Lord and follow you until you are no longer worthy of my loyalty!
