Chapter 1988 A Furious Mother

The Light Claw's power spoke for itself, and Lin Mu could tell that it had come from no normal weapon.

"A Peak Grade Immortal weapon." Lin Mu felt a bit tense.

The number of such weapons were limited and most of them were well known. But what was more concerning was the fact that anyone that could use a weapon like this was not weak or simple either.

Now that Lin Mu had first hand witnessed its power, he knew they had to be careful.

'It's Light Elemental Immortal Qi too… there aren't many people who have an affinity with it.' Lin Mu recognized as he watched the claw continued to destroy the forest as well as hate beasts that were coming in wave after wave.

Little Shrubby was also forced to stop, as the Light Claw continued to move.

~WHOOSH~

He easily dodged it while the twins did the same.

"Return, you three!" Lin Mu called them back knowing it might just get worse.

While Lin Mu had confidence, the three beasts would have no issues dodging the attack of the light claw, he still didn't wish to get them caught up in the conflict.

'It would be bad if the woman thinks they are involved too.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

~SHUA~

Little Shrubby along with the twin snakes returned to Lin Mu's side. He first sent the twins to the Sleepscape while letting Little Shrubby stay by his side in his smaller form.

~CHIRP~CHIRP~

Ashy also went to Lin Mu, sitting on his shoulder.

"Fluff-fluff says thank you." She spoke for the fox.

Lin Mu turned around to face the girl and the fox in her arms.

"It's fine. I just did what I was suppose to." Lin Mu replied. "Though it seems like I wont have to do much now." He said looking at the rapidly deteriorating numbers of the branch horn wolves.

But Lin Mu was still concerned about the behavior of the wolves. Ideally speaking, they should have long since run away after sensing the threat. They were not that stupid as to continue rushing to their deaths.

Especially after so many of them were slaughtered by Lin Mu and his companions earlier, and now by the woman who was raging.

Lin Mu still hadn't seen her first hand, as it was clear that she had launched the attack from afar.

"HOW DARE YOU ALL TRY TO ATTACK MY DAUGHTER!" Her furious voice thundered across the forest. "I'LL ERASE YOUR KIND TODAY!"

~HONGLONG~

Lin Mu watched as giant five hundred meter tall Light Claws flew through the sky. They didn't land where they were though, instead they flew to different parts of the forest.

"She's really intent on following through her words." Lin Mu pursed his lips.

"Mommy's angy." Meihua said showing some surprise on her face too. "Last time she was angry, daddy didn't come down from the sky for a week."

"Uh…" Lin Mu didn't know what to make of it.

He just hoped the woman would still be thoughtful enough to know who the enemies were and who was not.

But it was now that Little Shrubby spoke something that caught Lin Mu's ears.

"The little girl… she smells nice." Little Shrubby spoke.

"What do you mean?" Lin Mu asked for clarity.

"She smells like… something that would be good to eat." Little Shrubby replied.

"Huh?" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes finding it strange. "Is it the same for you, Ashy?" He asked.

"She smells as good as a juicy beetle larva." Ashy replied.

"Okay… I don't think that's what I meant, but I get it." Lin Mu stated.

He asked the twins the same thing through their link and got a similar answer.

'So it isn't just Little Shrubby but all beasts.' Lin Mu understood.

He now had a hunch that the way the Branch Horn wolves were acting was due to the girl herself. Of course, Lin Mu still didn't know the actual cause, just that the girl was linked to it.

Though Lin Mu also understood why the wolves acted so aggressively, while his own beasts were fine.

'It is either the fact that they are tamed beasts and would not react that badly, or that there is the involvement of Beast Qi.' Lin Mu guessed.

But then he looked at the Immortal fox and didn't know how true the guess was.

'It isn't a tamed beast but is still not aggressive and it hasn't consumed any beast Qi from me either.' Lin Mu thought. 'Perhaps there's more to this.' He reckoned.

A couple more minutes passed, and no more Branch Horn Wolves appeared. The light claws had taken care of them all, and silence filled the Evergreen Pillars forest.

At least for the time being.

"MEIHUA!" A frantic voice was heard, as a woman's figure appeared in the sky.

Lin Mu looked at the woman who was dressed in light blue robes. She had long black hair that was tied in a broad braid, and had several ornaments attached to it. She had a young yet mature face, but as it looked at the girl, it was filled with a motherly passion.

"MOMMY!" The little girl called back.

~WHOOSH~

The woman quickly flew down seeing that her daughter was safe and picked her up.

"Are you okay, Meihua?" the woman asked, while also checking on the girl's condition with her immortal sense.

She ignored Lin Mu for the time being, and was fully engrossed with her daughter. But this also gave the man some time to identify who this person was.

The answer came easy to him too. As all he had to do to confirm her identity was to look at what she was wearing on her hands.

They were the very same peak grade immortal tools that had devastated the Branch Horn wolves. They looked like they were claws made out of transparent glass.

'Tearing Glass claws, so this must be…' Lin Mu almost couldn't believe his luck. "I greet the Princess Feng Lan." He cupped his hands.
