CHAPTER 589: CHAPTER 353: LITTLE NIAN BEAST, HAI FAN MOUNTAIN, SPIRIT HEART LAKE

On top of its head, a violet blaze soared into the sky, like a crown tightly clinging to its head, burning endlessly, as if symbolizing the sovereignty of the Demon Realm.

When the Little Nian Beast was just born, the Year Beast Monarch often carried it to this cliff, then released its furry body onto the ground.

At those times, father and son would silently gaze at the ocean at the foot of the cliff, listening to the waves ebb and flow.

Whenever it was time to leave, the Little Nian Beast would point to the distant city and ask the Monarch, "Dad, why can’t we live in those tall buildings like humans?"

The Year Beast Monarch would always respond with silence, only saying, "You’re still young, there’s no need to know about these things."

Later, under the guidance of the Year Beast Monarch, the Little Nian Beast grew strong, but at the same time, its curiosity about the human world never subsided. The Year Beast Monarch was very wary of it getting close to the human world, so the Little Nian Beast had to pile up this curiosity in the dark corners of its heart.

Yet the more it did this, the deeper the curiosity grew day by day, until one day when this curiosity exploded along with adolescent rebellion.

The Little Nian Beast ran away from home.

It left Hai Fan Mountain, disguised itself as a human, and traveled to various countries; whether China, Japan, or the United Kingdom, it had visited them all, feeling quite pleased.

But after a few years, the Little Nian Beast grew bored with the human world, and wandered to places like the North Pole and Antarctica, where it caught some penguins to roast and eat along the way.

Finally, at the age of twenty, having wandered for many years, the Little Nian Beast suddenly returned to Hai Fan Mountain.

The reason was simple, as it had met many Northern European demons during its travels, those demons kept saying that the Year Beast Monarch was about to lead the "Zodiac Team" to war with "Lake Hunting."

And the strongest Northern European demon "Seven Deadly Sins" had also gone to China to help, claiming they would assist the Monarch in annihilating the world’s strongest exorcist organization.

Upon hearing this news, the Little Nian Beast hesitated for a long time, eventually deciding to return to China for a look.

On one hand, it worried the Monarch wouldn’t be a match for Lake Hunting, and on the other, it feared "Seven Deadly Sins" might secretly do harm to the Monarch.

So the Little Nian Beast rushed back to China overnight, climbed Hai Fan Mountain along the path of childhood memories, wanting to see the Year Beast Monarch again. Thus, it arrived at the current scene.

Browsing through the Little Nian Beast’s memories, Ji Minghuan suddenly paused slightly.

"Wait a minute... the Little Nian Beast actually knows the captain of Lake Hunting?" he thought.

Indeed, within the Little Nian Beast’s decade-long wandering memories, the name "Lin Xingshi" appeared, something Ji Minghuan had never anticipated.

And Lin Xingshi, is the captain of the world’s top exorcist group "Lake Hunting," famously known in the Exorcist Realm as the "Lion Dancer," the acknowledged world’s strongest exorcist.

"Things just got interesting... the Child of the Year Beast actually knows such a figure."

As thoughts reached this point, a task panel in a mixture of purple and red suddenly popped up in Ji Minghuan’s pupils.

[Primary task number one for Unit Four "Little Nian Beast" has been initiated.]

[Task content: Obtain recognition from the "Year Beast Monarch" and "Zodiacs," thereby succeeding the Year Beast Monarch and obtaining leadership over all demons on Hai Fan Mountain.]
