Mo Yan appeared behind the Golden Beast in an instant, and the Golden Beast imdiately sensed her presence. With a swift turn, it faced her, its golden eyes glaring intensely at her. Despite suffering such grievous injuries and losing so much blood, its movents were still so quick.
Confronted with that pair of golden eyes she had never seen before, Mo Yan felt a chill run through her body. She stood as if frozen, unable to move. She nervously watched the Golden Beast, her hand gripping the bucket handle turning slightly white as she prepared to dart into the Space at any mont.
The Golden Beast stood its ground, staring unwaveringly at Mo Yan. Holding the wooden bucket, its nose, not unlike a feline’s, twitched subtly. Its crimson tongue unconsciously stuck out, licking around its furry lips. That greedy look unexpectedly made it seem less ferocious.
Mo Yan didn’t miss any of its subtle reactions. Her nervousness eased slightly, and she gently set the bucket down on the ground, slowly backing away. She ensured she was far enough to dodge into the Space before the Golden Beast could pounce and bite her. Then she softly said to the wary Golden Beast, "This is Spirit Spring Water, which can strengthen the body and is beneficial for your injuries. If you trust , go ahead and drink it!"
It was unclear whether the Golden Beast understood her words or not; it simply kept its gaze on Mo Yan without moving, emitting a suppressed growl from its throat. The sound was sowhat like a lion’s roar, but its appearance was nothing like a lion’s. More precisely, its eyes, nose, and ears were strikingly like a tiger’s, its body sowhat like a wild ox, and its tail was bushy, shaped like a fox’s large tail. Overall, its appearance was quite strange.
Mo Yan confird that it was none of the wild beasts she had ever seen or known of. Seeing its great restraint, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of admiration. Noticing its fur already dyed red with blood, she pulled out the packet of Sanqi Powder, spreading it out, and the thick scent of dicine wafted into the air, "This is a dicinal powder for injuries; it can stop bleeding and heal the wounds on your body. If you like, I can help you apply it."
The Golden Beast’s furry, aty round ears twitched slightly, and it sniffed even more intensely, but its sturdy limbs did not move forward an inch.
Mo Yan was in no hurry. Holding the open packet, she serenely faced the Golden Beast. Regardless of whether it understood her or not, she directly stated the purpose of bringing the water and dicine, "The Spirit Spring Water and dicine are an apology. I hope you can forgive those people’s unintentional offense earlier. The man you bit is my father, and they truly ant you no harm. If you accept these two things, it ans you are willing to reconcile and won’t co down the mountain to trouble us. Does this seem acceptable to you?"
The Golden Beast quietly watched her, showing no anger or other reaction. Just as Mo Yan thought it did not understand her, it finally moved its forepaw, nonchalantly walked over to the bucket, and began to lick and drink the Spirit Spring Water.
A full bucket of Spirit Spring Water quickly diminished by a third. The Golden Beast intended to drink it all in one go, but before it was even halfway finished, its massive head got stuck in the bucket handle, unable to go down any further. Annoyed, it extended its paw, twice as large as an adult human’s palm, and started digging the ground in irritation, quickly creating a small pit, a foot deep.
Mo Yan watched with alarm. Such sharp and strong claws easily digging through the solid mountain ground—if not for the group’s earlier restraint and Han Zhiyun’s martial presence, the injuries might not have been limited to just a few people!
Thinking of this, she beca even more determined to reach an agreent with the Golden Beast. If it indeed harbored a grudge, once healed, it could descend the mountain in search of vengeance, and Liu Yang Village might be helpless against it.
As the pit grew deeper, Mo Yan tentatively took a step forward, and seeing that the Golden Beast rely glanced at her with no other peculiar reaction, she retrieved a wooden basin from the Space. After filling the basin with Spirit Spring Water, she stepped back, signaling for the Golden Beast to continue drinking.
