C10 Dream-eating Cubs

"Awoo!" When the small black beast saw Zhou Heng reaching towards it, it suddenly let out a strange cry and bit towards Zhou Heng's finger.

Zhou Heng immediately retracted his hand. Seeing the sharp teeth in the little guy's mouth, he was afraid that if he managed to bite his own finger off, he would also bite his own finger off.

"It's not that big, but it's pretty fierce." Zhou Heng still couldn't think of a good way. This little beast was lying on top of the boy's head, so he didn't dare to use force like before to deal with ghosts and spirits.

"What does Taoist Master mean by this?" Ding Loong, who was behind Zhou Heng, asked.

"Boss Ding, this is — no, I mean, how long has your son been ill?" Zhou Heng wanted to ask how long this Dream Eating Beast had been pestering your son, but the words on the tip of his tongue suddenly changed.

"My son, Ding Dang, has never been in good health since he was young," Ding Loong said. "Last year, I took him to the mountains in search of the Buddha, and when I came back, he was even more ill. Last month, the hospital already … already …" He couldn't finish his sentence in front of his son, but the other adults already understood. The hospital has given up treating Ding Dang.

"Could it be that I'm not sincere in begging for Buddha," Ding Loong made a wild guess. He was truly in a panic, "So I was punished by the heavens?"

Zhou Heng shook his head. The Dream Eating Beast belonged to the category of Mountain Spirits. It rarely came to human cities, so this was his first time seeing one. This dream eater must have been brought back by Ding Loong when he took his son to the mountains to beg for Buddha. Normally speaking, the Dream Eater wouldn't have such a strong attack power, so it should be very easy for a young beast like this to be driven away. This little dream beast must have entered a strange environment in the city and felt a sense of fear towards the surrounding humans, which must have led to the current situation.

"The situation now is very complicated," Zhou Heng honestly replied. "Even if I do it, it will be a little tricky."

Ding Loong immediately came to his senses. He smiled at Zhou Heng and said, "Taoist Master, please be at ease. As long as you can cure my son, my surnamed Ding will definitely bring you benefits!"

Xiang Yunhai twitched his mouth. He felt that Zhou Heng was most likely a fraud: "The benefits can only be discussed after you've cured the young master. If you can't, hmph." He snorted coldly.

Ding Loong quickly stopped him, and spoke calmly, "Bro, don't say that. Zhou Taoist Master, you just need to try your best. Whether it succeeds or not, I have a gift for you."

Zhou Heng saw that both of them misunderstood him, but it was hard for him to explain the current situation. He couldn't tell Ding Loong that there was an invisible little monster lying on top of your son's head, so it wasn't convenient for him to use force, right? If it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding. Zhou Heng no longer explained himself and looked towards the little boy lying on the bed, Ding Dang.

"Little friend," Zhou Heng smiled and asked him, "Are you afraid of pain?"

Ding Dang shook his head and said calmly, "I am Ding Loong's son, I am not afraid of anything."

His answer made Ding Loong, who was standing behind Zhou Heng, shudder. Ding Loong had never told his son anything about himself. Presumably, his son heard something from a babbling nurse while he was in the hospital.

"Young master, well done!" Xiang Yunhai applauded the little boy for the first time.

Zhou Heng looked at the strong gaze of the little boy, then moved a little closer to the top of the little boy's head. "Little friend, hold it in." Zhou Heng said.

Ding Dang nodded in response.

Zhou Heng suddenly made a move and grabbed at the Dream Eating Beast's body from left and right.

"Awoo!" The black little Dream Eating Beast roared at Zhou Heng. Its mouth bit towards one of Zhou Heng's hands.

"It's time!" Zhou Heng shouted, then pulled his hands back at the same time.

A black shadow appeared on the head of the small Dream Eating Beast and took the shape of a woman. It was Zheng Li. The little Dream Eating Beast was only concerned with guarding against Zhou Heng and forgot Zheng Li's existence.

Zheng Li's hands grabbed the little dream-eating beast's body. When she tried to grab it, its four limbs suddenly clasped tightly onto the top of the boy's head.

"Ah!" The boy screamed in pain.

"Ding Dang!" Ding Loong was anxious to get close to her.

"Don't come near me!" Zhou Heng shouted. If Ding Loong came to make trouble at this time, then all the previous efforts would have been for naught.

"Daddy, it's okay." Ding Dang clenched his teeth, "It's not painful at all." Tears seeped from the corners of his eyes.

Ding Loong stopped walking. He bit his lower lip and stared fixedly at his son.

Zhou Heng pointed his right index finger and middle finger at the little dream-eating beast's forehead.

"Summon Mountain Spirit Subduing Spell." Zhou Heng said in his heart.

"Summoning successful." Accompanied by the system's cold voice, Zhou Heng's stamina began to flow towards the two fingers that were extended from his right hand.

Feeling a strong pressure coming from his forehead, the small dream-eating beast tightened its grip. Panic caused it to grab Ding Dang's head, almost crushing the top of the boy's head.

"No, I'm not in pain." The boy kept repeating this.

Zheng Li grabbed the little dream-eating beast's body and lifted it up, wanting to make it quickly leave the boy's body. However, she didn't dare to use too much strength, fearing that it would harm the boy's fragile body.

No matter how the small dream-eating beast struggled, Zhou Heng's fingers were still pressed tightly on its forehead.

"Awoo —" The little dream-eating beast broke the sound barrier with its last cry. Ding Loong and Xiang Yunhai, who were present, heard the beast howl that came from above Ding Dang's head.

Before they could react to the sudden howl, Ding Dang had already closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side.

"Ding Dang!" Ding Loong yelled, ran to the bed, and wrapped his arms around Ding Dang.

"Hey!" Xiang Yunhai excitedly grabbed Zhou Heng's collar, "Young Master, what happened to him!"

"Let me go." Zhou Heng frowned. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiang Yunhai's hand that was holding his collar. Then, he gently opened it.

"Let go of Taoist Master," Ding Loong's voice suddenly lowered, "Ding Dang just fell asleep."

Xiang Yunhai was surprised by Zhou Heng's strength, but at the same time, he turned to look at Ding Dang on the bed.

Ding Dang slept peacefully in his father's arms with a sweet smile on his cute face.

"Whap." A small wooden tablet fell to the ground.

Zhou Heng picked up the wooden token. A small beast was carved on the thumb-sized wooden tablet. The carver only needed a few brushes to draw the small beast's grimacing expression.

"Ding" the system notification sounded in Zhou Heng's mind.

"Successfully subdued, Reward: Merit + 1."

"Turn off all mana buffs." Zhou Heng thought silently in his heart. Maintaining an enhanced state is a waste of physical strength. Normal people can't withstand such consumption of energy.

He turned the wooden tablet over in his hand over, looked at it for a while, and then put it away in his bosom. Ding Loong and Xiang Yunhai's attention was all on Ding Dang on the bed, so they didn't notice Zhou Heng's actions.

Ding Loong gently put Ding Dang on the bed, covered him up, and said: "Thank you so much, Taoist Master." He wasn't sure if Ding Dang had really been cured, but ever since he had come back from that prayer, Ding Dang had nightmares every time he went to sleep. He had never slept so peacefully before.

"Let's go out first." Ding Loong said.

The three of them arrived outside the room. Zheng Li floated in the air, looked at the boy on the bed a few more times, then followed Zhou Heng out.

"Zhou Taoist Master, you wanted to ask me about Zheng Li previously, right?" Ding Loong said.

Zhou Heng nodded, "How much does Boss Ding know about Zheng Li's past?"

Ding Loong was about to start the conversation when Xiang Yunhai cut in. "Taoist Master must have had a hard time saving the young master, so why don't we go to the table and talk about it?"

Ding Loong smacked his head, "Yes, yes, yes! The old man was right! Zhou Taoist Master, from your accent, I can tell that you're not a local! "

Zhou Heng smiled and nodded, "I just came."

"Since the Linhai City is here, let me be the host, I will bring you to experience the night life of the Linhai!" After saying this, he ruthlessly laughed out loud. He had once again changed back to the spirited Linhai Dragon King.

"Sure." Zhou Heng agreed immediately. As long as he could complete the task of bringing Zheng Li back to her memory, eating a meal would be nothing special.
