Brush your teeth!

"Pika!" (Electro Ball!)

Conjuring up a huge ball of electricity, Wang Shòu throws it down at the 400-year-old Winged Tiger.

Swoosh!

The Winged Tiger flaps its huge white wing, trying to escape by flying away, but it is useless as the Electro Ball has already hit it in the next instance.

Roaring weakly, the Winged Tiger moans as its consciousness slowly becomes hazy until it becomes unconscious.

'Phew, that should be the last orange spot spirit beast so far.'

Landing softly on the ground and wiping the non-existent sweat off his face, Wang Shòu then looks at the map.

'Yep, I have beaten the last orange color threat so far on this map.'

'Now it seems that my next target should be the red color threat...'

Looking at the nearest red color spot that is 32 meters away, Wang Shòu quickly heads toward that direction.

Quickly arriving close to where the red color should be and hiding behind the tree, Wang Shòu quietly peeks out of the tree.

'....Is that the Blazing Demon Lion?'

Looking at the lion and its dark demonic appearance with blazing fire as its mane, Wang Shòu frowns as he tries to remember if that is the same spirit beast from his memory.

'Hmm...if I remember correctly...Blazing Demon Lions are known as one of the strongest spirit beast races on land, with the ability to control powerful fire element.'

'They often go in packs, and the head of the pack known as Blazing Demon Lion King without exception is a 1,000 years old spirit beast, and the rest of the packs such as lionesses are usually between 100 years old to 1,000 years old...'

'But that's weird...there's only one Blazing Demon Lion out there by itself...but Blazing Demon Lions always go in a pack...so why?'

Looking carefully, he suddenly notices traces of injuries and scars on the lone Blazing Demon Lion. Seeing this, Wang Shòu suddenly understands.

'I see...it was probably the previous Blazing Demon Lion King, but it got defeated by a new Blazing Demon Lion King, and got kicked out of the pack, forced to fend for itself...'

'Judging from the somewhat weak aura and the injuries it endured, this lion is probably between 700 to 800 years old...'

Realizing this, Wang Shòu begins to consider the question.

Is he strong enough to beat this weakened Blazing Demon Lion even if it was the King before?

Possible, but it will require a careful plan.

But does he want to?

After all, while Wang Shòu carries no hatred or hostility for Blazing Demon Lions, he knows that in the Xianxia world, native creatures follow the Law of the Jungle where the strong eat the weak.

And it is even more apparent among spirit beasts. If he knocks out the Blazing Demon Lion who was injured, he is definitely sure that the moment he walks away, another spirit beast will come and devour the unconscious, injured Blazing Demon Lion.

So...he can choose to knock out the Blazing Demon Lion regardless of the consequence, or he can give up and go for the other Red threat spirit beasts, but he will face the same problem with them too.

Actually, now Wang Shòu thinks about it, his previous actions are actually really stupid. Yes, he always knocked out the spirit beasts he encountered against since he didn't want to kill, but is that really kindness?

Perhaps it was actually just him being a hypocrite, forcing his ideas upon the spirit beasts who always live by the Law of the Jungle.

Knowing this, Wang Shòu instantly feels guilty. And at the same time, he feels stupid too. He had lived for 35 years, and yet he made such a dumb, dumb choice.

Damn...what should he do?...

"..."

Closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Wang Shòu opens his eyes again, having made his decision.

'I will take responsibility for the spirit beasts.'

Yes, he will not choose to kill unless forced to, but he will take responsibility and make sure that spirit beasts will not die because of him.

But how will he do that?

Glancing at his status window and seeing his level, which is infinitely close to level 20, Wang Shòu already has an answer.

Yes, he will pin his hope on that when he levels up to level 20, he can choose another Pokémon to transform into.

And he is betting that among the Pokemon that he can choose, there will be a Pokémon that has the power to heal.

But if there is no Pokémon that he can heal, then Wang Shòu will be willing to guard the unconscious spirit beasts until they wake up. Even if it slows the speed of Wang Shòu leveling up.

'Alright, let's do it!'

Pumping his cute small paw, Wang Shòu quickly retreats from the area where the Blazing Demon Lion was.

Yes, Wang Shòu decided to take responsibility, but that's only after he beats them. If he can't, he will definitely become a meal for the Blazing Demon Lion.

So in short, Wang Shòu needs to set up a trap if he wants to beat the Blazing Demon Lion.

---------------------

A few hours later, the Old Blazing Demon Lion, who has recovered to a certain extent, is wandering in the forest now.

"Roaar!" (Damn it...if I wasn't careless, I wouldn't have lost to that arrogant challenger!)

The Old Blazing Demon Lion roars, expressing his unhappiness, full of resentment in his voice.

Not only did he lose to an arrogant brat, but he also got kicked out of the pack with his harem stolen! He, the proud Blazing Demon Lion King, got NTRed by a brat!

Though admittedly, he also did NTR the previous Blazing Demon Lion King before too. But that's not important, what's important is that he got NTRed!

And to make it worse, he is weak and starving! Blazing Demon Lions always hunt in packs, but he is seriously injured and got kicked out. He is lucky that he managed to escape the hungry spirit beasts and recover enough to at least battle.

Mark my words! One day, this Blazing Demon Lion will get my revenge on you, brat!

Venting for a while, the Old Blazing Demon Lion walks through the forest sulking when he suddenly notices a peculiar scene.

"Roar?" (Is that yellow mouse...dead?)

Yes, what the Old Blazing Demon Lion saw is a yellow mouse lying face down on the ground, seemingly dead.

Roaring to express his confusion, the Old Blazing Demon Lion comes close to the 'dead' yellow mouse.

Poking the yellow mouse with his foot, the Old Blazing Demon Lion frowns.

"Roarr..." (This is weird...I don't think I've seen this creature before. And why is it a full corpse?)

Sniffing and licking lightly at the yellow mouse's corpse, the Old Blazing Demon Lion finds to his surprise that it seems very fresh! He smells no scent that creatures should have when they are dead!

It's almost as if this yellow mouse is not dead!

"Roar!" (Finally, I found my first meal in days!)

Not caring about this weird scene that almost screams trap, the Old Blazing Demon Lion's brain, which is occupied by food, happily accepts it.

Opening his large mouth that is drooling, with saliva over the yellow mouse, the Old Blazing Demon Lion is about to eat.

'Thunder Wave!'

Suddenly, a small jolt of electricity emits from the 'corpse' of the yellow mouse and hits the Old Blazing Demon Lion in the face.

"Roaar?" (W-what just happened??)

Stiffened and paralyzed, unable to move, the Old Blazing Demon Lion watches as the supposed 'corpse' of the yellow mouse slowly stands up.

Turning around, the yellow mouse doesn't have any expression on its face as if it is indifferent to everything.

Then suddenly the yellow mouse's eyebrows are brought together and the forehead is wrinkled as if scowling.

"Pika! Pika!" (At least brush your damn disgusting mouth! God knows what I had to endure when you licked me and drool your disgusting saliva over me!)
