Upon hearing the voice, Nanli spun around to see Fang Qingyuan leaning against a tree, smiling at her.
It was only then that the Foundation Establishment Bear Beasts beside Nanli noticed the presence of a human Cultivator. They immediately bared their fangs and roared.
But before they could pounce on Fang Qingyuan, Nanli pecked them a few times. The Bear Beasts howled in pain, their aggressive posture deflating instantly.
Only then did Nanli dart to Fang Qingyuan's side, lowering her head to nuzzle his shoulder.
Fang Qingyuan patted Nanli's long, slender neck. He hadn't seen her in years, and she had certainly put on a little weight. However, compared to her days in the Qi Cultivation stage, she had also grown much more beautiful.
The fiery red feathers on Nanli's body gleamed with a brilliant luster. She was immaculate, and even her gait was elegant—nothing like the crude, wild beasts of the Barbaric Wilderness.
