"Stop, s-stop fighting..." Ma Pengming stammered, looking at his girlfriend who was being pinned to a tree and beaten in the distance.

"Bang!" Another Flaming Heavy Fist!

"Ugh, mmm..." Jia Yongxin's mouth filled with muffled, indistinct groans as the back of her head slammed heavily against the tree.

Her eyes were dazed, blood trickling from her nose and mouth, making her appear pitiful and tragic.

Beside the Thick-Armored Earth Rhinoceros, the endlessly stomping Flame Foal, upon seeing such a scene, didn't even dare to recklessly charge forward.

It was also very young. When it had just charged at the Black Raincoat girl, the fiery silhouette that suddenly sprang up in front of her looked like a fierce evil spirit, leaving a deep psychological shadow in the young Flame Foal's heart...

"Stop hitting! Enough!" Ma Pengming mustered up his courage and shouted, knowing his girlfriend indeed broke the Demon Taming World's rules and deserved to be taught a lesson, but he couldn't just stand by any longer.

At their master's stern shout, the Thick-Armored Earth Rhinoceros and Wealthy Pig grew tense, ready to attack at any moment.

Lin Shiwei turned to look at Ma Pengming, and a swirl of Fire Demon Breath gathered on her brow. In a flash, a beautiful Rose Double Spirit condensed before her.

The little creature swiftly unfurled its vines, wrapping around its master's neck, skillfully slipping into her raincoat hood, and then poked its head out to keep watch.

The Rose Double Spirit didn't know exactly what was happening outside, but through the Demon Pet Contract, it knew a fierce battle was brewing!

"You..." Ma Pengming's eyes widened slightly. The opponent's demon pet was a Rose Double Spirit!?

The Rose Double Spirit species is quite rare, and in the Ancient Pine Tower Territory, it's almost synonymous with the Lin Family.

Of course, the Lin Family couldn't monopolize such demon pets, but out of ten Demon Tamers who have a Rose Double Spirit, at least eight are Lin Family members.

Ma Pengming's face changed color, thoughts spinning rapidly. He immediately gave up on attacking and instead pulled his phone from his pocket. "I'll call the soldiers for help! We admit defeat, just stop hitting!"

Lin Shiwei glanced at the young man and finally lowered her leg.

Jia Yongxin collapsed headfirst to the ground, her body twitching slightly, her face staining the damp grass red.

"Stop." Lin Shiwei stepped back, and the half-formed fiery silhouette that burst from her body raised its fist, poised to continue pummeling the enemy on the ground.

But the Flame Soul Imprisonment seemed restrained by something. Its half-body froze for a moment, surged forward another centimeter or two, and then, as if yanked by chains, was forcibly pulled back.

"Hiss!" The Flame Soul Imprisonment howled, finally shrinking back into its master's body, faint fiery mist swirling around Lin Shiwei.

"Yes! Central-south Region of Zone Five, due south of Twin Trees! Get here quickly!" Ma Pengming called anxiously, eyeing his companion lying unconscious on the grass.

But Lin Shiwei remained where she was, so he only kept calling and urging the soldiers to hurry, not daring to rush over immediately.

"Hm?" Lin Shiwei frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping past Ma Pengming's side. Had she spotted something in the distant grass?

Was that... a snow-white deer antler adorned with beautiful blossoms?

Lin Shiwei was a little surprised, but soon noticed the antlers weren't alone; there were more among the grass.

She pulled down her raincoat hood to widen her field of view, and upon closer inspection, was utterly shocked!

Taking the battlefield of the Dust Spirit Deer and Two-tailed Fire Fox as the center, deer antlers emerged from the grass and behind trees in all directions!

As the drizzling rain gradually eased, a faint mist spread out.

Bear in mind, the battle here was still raging, with so many Demon Beasts and humans present, and yet this herd of Dust Spirit Deer—contrary to their nature of avoiding humans—were gathering around instead?

At that moment, Lin Shiwei's mind was blank.

Even the Rose Double Spirit on her shoulder wrapped more tightly around her neck, watching vigilantly as its master kept turning, surveying all around.

"Awoo~!" The Two-tailed Fire Fox let out a sharp fox cry, having run out of patience completely.

The speed it usually prided itself on meant nothing before a nimbler enemy.

Unable to break the deadlock and with its own master thoroughly humiliated, the Two-tailed Fire Fox was seething with rage. Its two swollen, long tails lashed the ground ferociously, and two illusory Two-tailed Fire Fox doubles shot forward.

"Slide sideways!" Du Yu shouted, "Don't get confused—whichever Fire Fox gathers a fireball in front of its face is the real body!"

"Nai~" Relying on her speed, Xiaobai zipped in a half-circle, her figure appearing behind the Two-tailed Fire Fox.

The Fire Fox had already mustered a fireball in its mouth. Twisting around as it rushed forward, it unleashed a vicious Spark Splash!

"Nai!"

Heroic Bronze· Dust Fog Assault!

A Dust Spirit Deer composed of white mist dashed out—just a bit smaller, about as big as Xiaobai in her Mortal Level state.

The Mist Little Immortal Deer charged head-on at Spark Splash, a veritable suicide squad assault.

"Bang!" The instant the Mist Little Immortal Deer touched the fireball, Spark Splash detonated, exploding in midair between the two demon pets.

"Nai!" Xiaobai seemed dissatisfied with such a result; she believed she could be even faster!

Her master had been guiding her all along, yet she couldn't break through. She felt disappointed in herself—and more, she dreaded Du Yu's disappointment.

Next moment, Bai Yujing activated Wind Dance and shot forward at full speed.

She actually began circling around the Two-tailed Fire Fox?

As Bai Yujing sped, Mist Little Immortal Deer after Mist Little Immortal Deer charged at the Two-tailed Fire Fox—a flawless 360-degree assault!

"Awoo!" The Two-tailed Fire Fox refused to yield. Abandoning Spark Splash, it whirled its huge tails in a spinning sweep.

"Pa~pa~pa~"

The sounds of the Mist Little Deer shattering rang out one after another. The Two-tailed Fire Fox fought all the more fiercely, its big tails smashing enemies to pieces as it howled, "Awoo~!"

It's spinning now!

Bai Yujing circled the Two-tailed Fire Fox—while the Fire Fox spun on its own axis!

The battlefield froze in a stalemate—a Deer-Fox rotational standoff... or was it? No, something was off!

The mist swirling around them thickened and spread...

Unyielding Silver· Dust Mist Confusion!

Guided by Du Yu's opening advice, Bai Yujing, with her outstanding talent, comprehended a racial demon skill mid-battle!

The ever-spreading mist could now not only let Bai Yujing hide, but also obscure the enemy's vision.

This, however, presented a problem. If used to escape or disengage, this skill was certainly practical.

But as an offensive tactic, it was naturally a double-edged sword.

Because Bai Yujing's level wasn't high enough, she hadn't yet learned a demon skill allowing her to sense enemies within the mist, so both Deer and Fox now struggled with impaired vision.

"Listen carefully, Xiaobai. Use your racial advantage!" Du Yu gave a gentle reminder and fell silent, afraid his voice would distract Xiaobai's sound localization.

The Dust Spirit Deer race had lived in flight since birth—tracking by sound was second nature long ago.

"Awoo~!" The Two-tailed Fire Fox finally lost it, fed up with the endlessly advancing Mist Little Immortal Deer and the vision-blocking fog.

The Two-tailed Fire Fox leapt, trying to clear the charging Mist Little Immortal Deer out of experience. It "reversed" while madly whipping its tail behind, determined to retreat from the misty melee.

"Nai!" Suddenly, a deer's call exploded from its flank.

The Fire Fox, still swinging behind, suddenly felt something slam hard into its shoulder—a headbutt!

"Wmmm..." The Demon Breath Battle Robe trembled. The Two-tailed Fire Fox howled as Bai Yujing sent it flying.

The Fire Fox staggered back several steps, then dug in its claws and skidded across the wet grass, sliding all the way to the mist boundary.

"Awoo~!" The Two-tailed Fire Fox howled, barely regaining its stance when a fireball rapidly formed before its snout.

"NAI!!!" Amid layers of mist, a Mist Little Deer suddenly charged straight at the Fire Fox.

The Fire Fox's vertical pupils narrowed almost to slits: !!!

On instinct, it jerked around, swinging its tail to try and bat away the misty deer that had shot out.

But... the Mist Immortal Deer was too close—much too fast—and collided headlong into the fireball!

"BOOOMMM!"

"Awooo~aoo~" The Two-tailed Fire Fox let out a mournful cry as Spark Splash detonated right in its face, blasting its small body hard through the air.

The Mist Little Immortal Deer also shattered to pieces from the blast, but it didn't matter—it was just a demon skill projection.

"Tap, tap, tap." Out of the mist, Bai Yujing walked forward calmly.

She gracefully stretched her elegant neck, lifted her beautiful deer head with pride, and let out a deer's call: "Nai~~~"

"Nai!"

"Nai~!"

"NAI!!!" Unexpectedly, after Bai Yujing's cry, deer calls erupted everywhere behind trees and bushes, echoing through this whole woodland.

Bai Yujing paused, blinking her bright, lively eyes in confusion as she looked around the forest.

Suddenly, snow-white, graceful shapes revealed themselves—at some point, the Dust Spirit Deer tribe had fully surrounded them.

Xiaobai stared blankly, then, upon seeing her kin, joyfully leaped about, exclaiming in excitement: "Nai~"

Over by a giant tree ahead to the right, two adult Dust Spirit Deer appeared, one left and one right, each revealing half their bodies.

One held his head high, broad-chested, appearing valiant and majestic, his snow-white antlers blooming with white flowers.

The other was graceful and delicate, her antlers adorned with blossoms of fantastical colors.

She gazed at Xiaobai with eyes full of love and yearning.

"Nai~" Xiaobai cried out joyously, sprang and bounded over, ignoring her Clan Leader father, coming straight to the adult doe's side, straining to lift her small head.

The tall, mist-shrouded doe lowered her beautiful head, closed her gentle eyes, and dearly nuzzled Xiaobai while softly murmuring in her ear.
