Even hybrid monsters have their day

However, she didn't intend to argue with Liu Qingzhi about whether the Huangfu brothers actually possessed such abilities. She simply looked at Miao Renfeng and asked, "Has the Miao family ever heard of Cerberus?"

“Cerberus?” Miao Renfeng murmured. “I’ve seen a record of this ancient beast in the ‘Record of Ancient Beasts,’ but the details are very limited. I only know that it is an ancient ferocious beast that guards the gates of hell. It is extremely powerful and ruthless.”

Geng Miaowan glanced at Huangfu Aohan, who was clearly about to lose his temper. Although his behavior was somewhat eccentric, it was by no means related to being ruthless.

"Since Sect Leader Miao has heard of the Cerberus's abilities, do you still think that my contracted beast, now that it has regained its strength, won't be able to help me?"

Miao Renfeng thought to himself, they were just talking about the Hell Three-Headed Fist, so why did Geng Miaowan suddenly bring up her contracted beast? These are clearly two completely unrelated things.

He looked at the little white dog standing straight at her feet with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, at Geng Miaowan's prompting, Huangfu Aohan no longer concealed his aura. A profound aura, not belonging to this world, slowly spread from his body, carrying endless fear and despair throughout the hall. "Ignorant humans, you do not recognize me! I am an ancient spirit beast!"

His voice was extremely arrogant, carrying an innate sense of superiority and an aura of authority born from the vicissitudes of history. He didn't even want to hear about ancient ferocious beasts.

Miao Renfeng was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Huangfu Aohan, too excited to utter a word. "It...it..."

No one would assume that Miao Renfeng was frightened by the dog suddenly speaking human language, because Ershan and Liu Qingzhi also sensed the unique aura emanating from Huangfu Aohan. That aura didn't belong to the human realm at all, and it was different from that of the demons and monsters. Although they couldn't be sure whether Geng Miaowan's words were true or false, subconsciously they already believed in its extraordinary nature.

Seeing this, Geng Miaowan praised Huangfu Aohan in her mind, but he scoffed at her.

"My contracted beast is none other than the legendary Cerberus!"

Then, Miao Renfeng gave her the stone almost without hesitation, and said that if she needed anything else, she could let him know and he would do his best to help.

Finally, Huangfu Aohan left the main hall amidst his reverent gaze.

After returning to her residence, Geng Miaowan placed the stone she had borrowed from Miao Renfeng on the table. After setting up a protective barrier around the stone, Luan Hao emerged from the bead.

The group gathered around the stone and examined it closely. However, none of them had ever seen a real Nuwa Stone before, so they couldn't figure it out after a long time. Luan Hao seemed quite certain that the stone was indeed the Nuwa Stone, but when they asked him why he was so sure, he remained silent.

"How can this help you restore your cultivation?" Geng Miaowan thought she would find out if she tried it.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Aohan perked up. He rattled off the method to her; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Following his instructions, Geng Miaowan made hand gestures, channeling spiritual energy from her fingertips to envelop the entire stone. After a while, the stone released a powerful spiritual aura. She gently moved her hands, placing the stone in front of Huangfu Aohan, allowing the spiritual energy emanating from it to envelop him.

An hour later, in a corner of the Green Mountain Sect, in the courtyard where the sect leader's special guest was staying, a beastly roar erupted. The roar was deafening, piercing through the barrier and soaring into the sky. Accompanying the roar was a feeling of dizziness, and the entire Green Mountain trembled.

The disciples of the Green Mountain Sect all rushed out in confusion to see what was going on. Some even speculated that the demon race had invaded the Green Mountain Sect...

Only Miao Renfeng, Ershan, and Liu Qingzhi looked in the direction from which the sound came with reverence. They knew that Cerberus had indeed recovered, just as Geng Miaowan had said!

In other words, the most precious treasure that the Green Mountain Sect has always kept is the Nuwa Stone, the stone that Nuwa left behind after she mended the sky, according to legend.

Two days later. As soon as the barrier was removed, Miao Renfeng appeared outside the courtyard. He noticed that Geng Miaowan no longer had the same eagerness as before; instead, she kept glancing towards the house. "Miss Geng, um..."

Geng Miaowan knew what he wanted to know, but she didn't say it. She just took the box containing the Nuwa Stone and handed it to him. "This box does indeed contain the Nuwa Stone. Now I'm returning it to you."

"Oh, yes, yes, okay, okay..." Miao Renfeng's reply was somewhat incoherent. At this moment, nothing about the Nuwa Stone was as appealing as his desire to see the legendary ancient beast. "Um... I wonder if Miss Geng's contracted beast has recovered?"

Before Geng Miaowan could answer, an arrogant voice came from inside the house, "So your old man's broken stone is somewhat useful."

The voice that came from the doorway was accompanied by a man with a pair of golden-gray eyes. He was tall and muscular, and his presence almost blocked half of the doorway. Before Miao Renfeng could even react, a soft voice came from behind the man, "Big brother, you're so big, don't you know to stand to the side? You're blocking the way."

Then, to Miao Renfeng's astonishment, the burly man was pushed aside, and three more people emerged from the house. The one at the back was Xu Ruwen, whom he naturally recognized. However, he had no idea when the two leading figures, tall and handsome, had arrived at the Green Mountain Sect.

One of them, he had also been there several times three hundred years ago, was Huangfu Aoxuan, who was with Geng Miaowan at that time.

"You are..." Judging from what the big guy just said, that big guy should be Cerberus, but these two actually called him big brother, which made Miao Renfeng slightly puzzled. After a moment of doubt, he thought of a possibility.

"They are Cerberus, the three Huangfu brothers." Geng Miaowan smiled mischievously when she saw Miao Renfeng's somewhat absent-minded appearance.

She had assumed that even if Huangfu and the others had regained their strength, only one of them could appear at a time. She never expected all three to appear simultaneously—this was an absolute delightful surprise! (To be continued.)
