Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 235 - Unholy Matrimony Between Rhino & Dragon

Yuanshi Yi didn’t know why, but she felt boundless confidence in his words and so, as if compelled by some invisible will, she took his hand.

****

Yuanshi Yi stood up, hopping on one leg as the other one was still badly mutilated.

However, she didn’t react to this and stared straight into Long Di’s eyes. The eyes, to her, were the best way to judge a person. They were the windows to the soul.

The issue here was that she couldn’t discern anything from Long Di’s eyes. Then why did she trust him so?

Her face suddenly twisted into a grimace, and she looked down to see her current state.

“M-My le—”

“About that.” Long Di fished around his storage ring for something to help deaden her plight.

After a while, he took out a vial with a pink pill inside that had a swirling line on the outside.

When Yaomu Shou saw the pill, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.

“Stop!” Yaomu Shou clambered atop Long Di like an overzealous chipmunk to get the pill.

Of course, seeing this Long Di kept the pill safely out of reach as he observed her treating his body like the world’s most interesting oak tree.

“What are you doing?” he finally asked.

“Look, just use this!” She quickly took out another medicinal pill from her own storage ring.

This one was dull red and emitted a faint, sweet medicinal fragrance. This was the same one she had prepared to give Tie Lang before.

“So, you’re going to use that?” Long Di asked with a raised brow. “If I remember correctly, you called it the bone-forming blood-siring pill?”

“Better than what you were going to do! That’s a high-grade bone-forming blood-siring pill you crazy son of a—”

“Leave my parents out of this,” Long Di requested calmly.

Yaomu Shou snorted before she flicked the pill towards Yuanshi Yi who clumsily caught it with a questioning look on her face.

The latter then looked towards Long Di as if looking to him for confirmation that this wasn’t poison.

When Yaomu Shou saw this, her anger flared in an instant, yelling out. “If you don’t want it, then just give it back!”

Long Di replied as he held Yaomu Shou back. “It’s fine. It’s a high-quality medicinal pi–”

Yuanshi Yi heard all she wanted to and swallowed the pill with little hesitation.

Shu!

Yaomu Shou brandished her sword, whipping it through the air several times before, bringing it down towards Yuanshi Yi’s leg.

Pu Ci!

The little skin and flesh that connected the rest of the foot below the ankle fell to the ground with a low thud.

Yuanshi Yi’s face went pale at the sight of this. “What are yo–”

“The pill works best if the affected area is cleared out,” replied Yaomu Shou coldly before turning around to leave.

Before anyone else could react, the bone that stuck out from Yuanshi Yi’s leg emitted cracking sounds before it extended out from her ankle at a swift rate, followed by the growth of flesh at an accelerated rate around it.

“Urkh!” Yuanshi Yi gritted her teeth in pain as the process of healing was not smooth sailing.

Long Di closed his eyes for a spell as if he paid no heed to Yuanshi Yi’s strain before his eyes slowly opened once more.

“Heal and get better,” he advised.

…

“You’re going to get in trouble for this at some point you know?” Yaomu Shou stated as Mina and cut through the jungle. Mina trailed behind slightly as she read another chapter of a manga Long Di had given her.

“Why? Is it because I seem to go around collecting the help of all the cultivation world’s most hated and tabooed races?” asked Long Di.

Yaomu Shou sighed as she held up her hands in feigned surrender. “Well, don’t come for me so hard. Plus, you can’t blame me for thinking that way since you just collected a Mofang Dao while you have… whatever Shen Ling is.” the last part she said in a whisper while paying close attention to Long Di’s reaction.

The surrounding temperature fell a few degrees when this question was asked.

Giving her a side-eyed glance, Long Di asked, “Are you trying to say that you know what race she is from and that it is of a tabooed nature Yaomu Shou?”

Yaomu Shou felt a lump form in her throat under Long Di’s gaze. She had wondered before how Tie Lang, Feng Yu, and the others were able to tell what mood Long Di was in when his expression never changed.

Now, however, a semblance of an idea came to mind. They didn’t use his expression at all. It was his body language, the way he carried himself, and above all, the feeling of the surrounding air.

Before she asked this question, the atmosphere between them was, if nothing else, relaxing and quite convivial.

Seeing that she went silent, Long Di pressed his question, “What would your actions be in the face of such a revelation Yaomu Shou?”

“I-I…” The lump in her throat grew, making it hard for her to even breathe much less answer.

Long Di could see her difficulty in answering, so he cocked his head to the side before supplementing his question. “What would you do to your friend in the face of such a thing?”

Hearing this, Yaomu Shou forcefully swallowed the lump and bravely answered. “Stand by their side of course! I would never betray my friends just because of who they are!”

The temperature suddenly went back to normal and Long Di’s mannerisms lacking any visible changes went back to normal.

He shrugged his shoulders upon hearing her answer as he replied. “There you go. Why don’t you try answering these questions on a purely surface level in the future? Excessive thinking about things like this isn’t necessarily a good thing. Sometimes the answer isn’t as hard as we make it out to be.”

C-C-Crack!

“Gah!”

Multiple cracks stole both Long Di’s and Yaomu Shou’s attention, but not Mina who Long Di had to grab by the neck of her robe, choking her before she unknowingly ran past them.

She went red with rage when he did this. “You nearly killed me you—”

“Shhh!” Yaomu Shou shushed her so they could see what that sound was.

They rushed over to the source of the disturbance and hid behind a cover of bushes.

A fair distance away was the vicinity of a battlefield. Countless trees were broken down, which was most likely the origin of the cracks they had heard earlier.

They could see over a dozen demon race experts fighting against a magical beast.

The demon race experts could barely hold their own. Of course, holding it down here meant that they were getting violated in the worst of ways. Their fade was getting ran and there wasn’t a barber for miles.

Its nearest comparison to a normal animal would be a rhino. The only difference was that it was larger than a normal one by several magnitudes.

Its white skin had smooth and rough parts all over while a feeling of heaviness permeated every inch of its flesh. Even with the safety wrought by the distance between them, Long Di, Mina and Yaomu Shou could still feel the powerful pressure it exuded.

Its eyes were similar to that of a serpent, and faint flickers of lightning flashed furiously.

What was most eye-catching about it was its horn. It was curved like a treasured sabre with odd rune-like markings all over it.

Even more terrifying was the lightning that coruscated the length of the horn every now and again.

The air quivered whenever it moved, warning others of the intense power that lay within.

“That’s a Mammoth Thunder Rhino! Why is it so strong!?” Yaomu Shou was shocked by the aura it gave off.

Mammoth thunder rhinos were magical beasts whose strength was in the upper echelons of rank 3 magical beasts.

For one to be so strong was something Yaomu Shou had never heard of.

However, Long Di shook his head. “That’s not a Mammoth Thunder Rhino. That thing is the result of the unholy matrimony between rhino and dragon.”

Yaomu Shou’s brain blew a fuse when he said this. “Come again!?”
