The End Times as a Song

Chapter 48 Northern Foothills of Mount Li

Lin Yin and Huan Rugo continued to enjoy the moon in a calm and peaceful manner, remaining silent, seemingly living a carefree and happy life.

After a long while...!

Lin Yin suddenly spoke up and asked Huan Ruge.

"Are you bored?"

"What do you think? You can't even see a bug inside the barrier! How can you not be bored?"

Huan Rugo pouted and complained.

"You just want to see insects...!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it...?"

"Who would like to look at bugs...? This is just an example to show you how boring I am...!"

Lin Yin glanced at Huan Rugo, a glance that sent chills down her spine and made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Lin Yin put down his white jade wine cup and stood up. Huan Rugo looked at him, puzzled.

After her passionate and impassioned speech, Huan Ruge turned her head away guiltily. She always felt that Lin Yin's eyes could devour everything in the world, and in front of Lin Yin, Huan Ruge always had a strange sense of fear, and she just couldn't stand up straight.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Lin Yin caused all the leftover food on the white jade table to disappear. Lin Yin tilted his head and stared at the corner of the white jade table for a long time. With a gentle flick of his finger, a silver-white light flashed by, and two specially made miniature animal cages appeared.

Inside the two cages, two different Da Nian beasts were imprisoned. These two Da Nian beasts were the same two that Lin Yin had captured before, one of which had even saved Huan Ru Ge.

When Da Nian saw Lin Yin, she grinned with hatred, staring at him fiercely, her eyes never leaving him.

"Lin Yin...!"

"You're quite stubborn, aren't you, you darling of the beasts of the year...!"

"Lin Yin...! What exactly do you want to do...? You know perfectly well that it's impossible for me to acknowledge a master, so why are you still forcing me...? The Da Nian Beast clan has never had the concept of one master and two beasts. This is the will of Heaven. Do you intend to defy the will of Heaven?"

"You're overthinking it...! Arresting you was just a side effect."

"What did you say……?"

Da Nian, with even more agitation, stared at Lin Yin.

"You really are untamed; compared to your brother, you're even more wild...!"

"Lin Yin, you are not allowed to talk about my brother like that."

“Ah Yuan, little sister…! Don’t get agitated. Save your energy and calm down. The angrier you get, the more this cage will absorb your spiritual power. This is a beast-taming golden cage of the gods, specially designed to deal with disobedient immortal beasts like us, so please don’t get angry…”

"Aqi...brother...next time...please tell me earlier."

Before Da Nian could finish speaking, he collapsed, limp and listless.

"Little sister Yuan, little sister Yuan, are you alright?"

The Da Nian beast also started to get anxious, pounced to one side of the beast cage, stretched out its little beast feet, and reached for the Da Nian beast.

"Brother Qi, I feel terrible, I feel so... terrible..."

"Little beast...!"

Huan Rugo also stepped forward with concern.

"Don't worry, she's fine. Some of her spiritual energy was absorbed by the Beast Taming Golden Cage. If she listens to her brother, stays put, keeps a cheerful mood, and doesn't get angry, the Beast Taming Golden Cage will return the spiritual energy to her."

Lin Yin, however, remained indifferent and calmly comforted Huan Ruge.

"But! She doesn't look like she's alright."

"Since you're so worried about her, let her keep you company!"

Lin Yin pointed to the dragon-shaped beast on the white jade table and said to Huan Ruge.

"The Da Nian Beast, such a precious celestial beast, you're willing to let her stay with me?"

"I've already taken it out, what do you say?"

"Are you really willing to give it up?"

"If you don't want it, then I can take it...!"

"No! I want her, I really want her! I want her to keep me company, at least she'll have some company and help me pass the time. I knew you wouldn't be that generous, I thought you were going to give her to me!"

Huan Rugo's eyes darted around, intentionally or unintentionally provoking Lin Yin, hoping to use this goading tactic to save the weak little beast in front of her.

"Give her to you? What do you want her for?"

Lin Yin stared intently at Huan Ruge and asked warily.

"No, we didn't do anything? What else could we have done? We're all inside your barrier, where can we run to? Don't you have even this much trust?"

"Don't try anything funny...! This isn't right for you...!"

Huan Rugo sensed the hidden meaning in Lin Yin's words and took a few steps back guiltily.

"I am a human, and even if I could use my cunning, it would be useless inside the barrier of the gods!"

Huan Ruge was a little embarrassed.

"You're quite smart... you understand immediately."

Lin Yin noticed Huan Ruge's predicament and stepped forward to threaten her again.

"..."

Huan Rugo sensed the hidden meaning in Lin Yin's words and dared not speak further.

At this moment, the bodies of the two dragon beasts in the cage underwent subtle changes, emitting exceptionally bright and colorful glows, dazzling and flashing.

"Brother Qi, please take a look at your body...!"

The weakened Da Nian beast called out to the male Da Nian beast in the next cage, gesturing for it to look at its own body.

"Ah...! What's going on...? What's wrong with my body? How could this happen...? What is this thing...?"

"What's wrong with you? Brother Qi, don't scare me...!"

The Dragon Year Beast stood up shakily, weak and panicked, looking at the Dragon Year Beast Qi.

"I...! I don't know either...! Look at you, your body is radiating a colorful glow just like mine!"

"Me? What happened to me...? How could I...? Brother Qi, what's going on?"

Da Nian looked down at his own body, which was now also covered in extraordinary colors.

"Could it be...?"

"Brother Qi, what is it? Tell me quickly...?"

"Could it be that we've all come to acknowledge the Lord...? And that we're experiencing a resonant glow...!"

"They all recognize one master...? Brother Qi, that's impossible...! You know we can't possibly recognize one master...!"

"I know that the only possibility is that your master is the girl in front of you."

"You mean Miss Huan'er...?"

"She's a human, she can't possibly form a contract with a celestial beast like me...!"

"Ah Yuan, accept your fate! Perhaps they really are destined for each other...!"

"Then what are we going to do? Are we going to have to follow those two forever and never be able to go back to our Dragon Beast Cave?"

"Well, maybe. It seems that this girl is the master you should acknowledge. This is probably for the best, so you won't be too upset. At least you and this girl get along quite well."

"Brother Qi, will we be separated?"

"Silly sister! How could that be? It's just that our masters are different. Actually, we were truly together back then."

"Brother Aqi, what do you mean by that?"

“Sister Yuan, you will understand in the future. This is the fate of the Da Nian Beast.”

"Brother Qi, what are you saying? The more I listen, the more confused I get."

"You'll understand... Grandpa said that all the Da Nian beasts are destined to recognize a master."
