Chapter 3, Encounter

The divine archer Hou Yi, carrying his formidable bow that instills fear in all the spirits of the world, walked quietly through the mountains and forests

The forest is filled with a rich fragrance, countless colorful petals are flying in the air, and layers of mist composed of pollen are drifting in the atmosphere

Some malevolent spirits hid in terror behind the rocks, and even a mere glance from the celestial being caused them to feel excruciating pain throughout their bodies

With some effort, he helped lift the tooth, while Li furrowed his brow and dragged him toward the lawn where he usually resided. That place was Li's territory, the safest spot within the hundreds of miles of mountains and forests.

"A woman is just a woman. What is wrong with being a woman?" With a proud lift of her chest, Li Meili pouted her small mouth fiercely and shouted, "Do you really think there is something wrong with women?"

In the hazy pink mist, the creature struggled in a disheveled manner. Countless delicate flower branches continuously entwined around its body, attempting to pull it down. The rich fragrance of the flowers permeated its nostrils, causing waves of dizziness, making it long to simply collapse and sleep. However, it bit through its own tongue, struggling to tear apart those flower branches, allowing the pain to sharpen its senses as it trudged forward with great difficulty

The figure of Hou Yi was no longer visible, yet the great bow was already in his hand, with a long arrow crafted by the master artisan under the command of Emperor Yao, made from elite materials, also nocked on the string

A loud bang echoed as the long arrow shot forth, trailing a dazzling beam of colorful light.

Hou Yi's expression darkened, and a heavy aura of killing intent slowly emanated from his eyes

However, what Li is doing at this moment perfectly aligns with the impression in Hou Yi's mind

Hou Yi paid no attention to these ineffectual spirits, as they posed little threat to humanity. The beings he sought to eliminate were the enormous monsters that could inflict significant harm on humans. For instance, the nine-headed serpent, or the brutal Roc; only they were worthy of Hou Yi's intervention

The keen gaze swept across the surrounding mountains and forests; under the watchful eyes of the deity, nothing could remain hidden.

The long, jet-black hair cascades casually over his shoulders, and his thick, dark eyebrows resemble two sharp swords piercing the temples. He has a high, straight nose and a tightly pressed mouth, with a rigid facial contour. The divine archer Hou Yi is an exceptionally handsome yet extremely cold deity. He is tall, towering two heads above an average person. Around his hips, he is wrapped in a colorful snake skin, and a vine radiating golden light serves as his belt.

Hmph, hmph! Li does not understand why his teeth cannot lift their heads; his neck is not injured, is it? This is a very complex issue for Li.

Furrowing his brows and tilting his head, he glared at the tooth for quite a while in anger, when Li suddenly let out a soft whistle.

Hou Yi is one of the most powerful deities on the primordial earth.

The two white leopards silently pounced, striking with a single blow that knocked the prey unconscious onto the ground

As he walked, not a sound was made, and all the beasts kept their distance in fear. The sharp aura of his arrows made these sensitive creatures extremely uneasy

Li Le jumped down from the pine tree with a cheerful demeanor, walked over to Ya with a smile, and gently stroked his face. "Be good and take a nap; I will go prepare some fruits for you. Yes, fruits as plentiful as mountains, much harder to obtain than those wild beasts. The Dragon Balls, those are the Dragon Balls of the divine beast, the dragon. Do you think they are so easy to acquire?"

There are some malevolent mountain spirits who have devised a vicious cultivation method, which involves draining the vital essence of male humans to rapidly enhance their own power. In certain regions, Hou Yi has witnessed the brutal sight of a tribe's men being drained into desiccated corpses, as depicted in illustrations.

As he struggled forward, he shouted loudly: "I am a man. If I bring back many fruits as the prey for my coming-of-age ceremony, I will be ridiculed. I will never be able to hold my head high in front of my people. Li, do not concern yourself with me; let me go."

They will say that I am a woman

Not far ahead, Hou Yi saw Li slowly moving towards the lawn, supporting the unconscious Ya.

Li stood atop a tall pine tree, with two little squirrels perched on his shoulders. The squirrels curiously watched Ya, who was moving forward, occasionally picking up a pine cone to nibble on. Li shouted angrily, "Ya, you are not allowed to go; stay here. Even if it is a coming-of-age ceremony, you can still become an adult by gathering plenty of fruits."

Suddenly, Hou Yi stopped in his tracks

But I am a man
