Brownie who had wanted to protest saw that Jun Wu Xie actually ordered all the things he had wanted and the bear immediately quietened down.
Nalan Shan who was seated beside Brownie had a face of utter hopelessness. How had he come to attract such a proud and thuggish big brown bear…..
Qiao Chu then ordered a few other things right after Jun Wu Xie. Ever since they had come to the Spirit World, he had not eaten a single mouthful of anything. Although he did not feel any hunger, but he still missed the feeling of eating.
The little bunny waiter then hopped skittishly away from danger, hugging the menu tight against its tiny breast.
Nalan Shan breathed a great sigh, and then looked at Brownie who seemed to be ignorant of what had happened before he said: “Remember from now on, you must not bully those weaker than you alright? If you do that again, I will throw you out.”
Brownie blinked at Nalan Shan, and before Nalan Shan could continue with his admonishment, it just grabbed Nalan Shan’s slender figure into a big wide hug with it enormous paws.
“…..” Nalan Shan was at a loss for for words.
[Besides this one move, can’t this rascal think up something new?]
Several other Beast Spirits who had just been watching at the side immediately saw that Brownie being the only Beast Spirit in Jun Wu Xie’s group had not only not been bullied, but had with its lone might of a single bear, instead oppressed the several human spirits, all of them immediately set their minds at ease, secretly smiling to themselves inwardly as they continued with their meals.
Following the construction of the Serene Spirit Towers, the status of the the human spirits in the Spirit World was greatly elevated which also caused the actions of many human spirits to become increasingly uninhibitedly wilful and arrogant, which brought about quite a number of instances of conflict between human spirits and the other spirit races.
In just a while, the little bunny waiter came back bringing the companions the dishes they ordered. This time Qiao Chu and the rest had gotten smarter and they did not even dare to take a whiff at the honey roasted waxed meat and other things that Brownie had ordered, but to push them all right before Brownie, letting the bear enjoy everything it wanted.

On the Spiritual Spirit Loft’s second level, one could see a massive sized brown bear using its fat and enormous paws holding a tiny little spoon as it wrestled with the honey roasted waxed meat in the dish before it.
Jun Wu Xie and the companions merely looked at the bear for a while before they all went on to eat as well.
“I haven’t eaten anything for so long that I am almost about to forget the feeling of having food melt in your mouth.” Qiao Chu was so moved he almost cried.
“Good for nothing.” Fei Yan said as he rolled his eyes at Qiao Chu. Although that was what his mouth said, the actions of his hands did not once stop.
Jun Wu Xie merely slowly tasted the food a little. She did not crave for food all that much and only ate to fill her stomach. Not that she was in spirit form, that one essential need was no longer a requirement and hence, she did not show much interest in it, but her gaze was instead fixed upon Brownie, looking rather thoughtful.
Nalan Shan who was seated beside Brownie did not move his chopsticks all that much as well, his gaze similarly staring at Brownie like Jun Wu Xie.
They had all seemingly missed out on one point earlier. As a new spirit soul and as a Beast Spirit here at the Spiritual Spirit Loft for the first time, wouldn’t the way Brownie had ordered his food seem like the bear was a little too familiar with it? It had not even looked at the menu and it already knew what it wanted to eat. Wasn’t that….. a little strange?
However, only Jun Wu Xie and Nalan Shan had realized that problem. The two of them exchanged a glance and saw the same doubt in each other’s eyes.
Gouging happily into the food and heaping large spoonfuls into its mouth, Brownie suddenly pricked its furry ears. It raised up its head from its food as its gaze turned to look towards the stairs. Before Qiao Chu and the others knew what was happening, Brownie suddenly stood up, and ran on all fours maniacally towards the windows on the second floor.
“Hey! Fatty bear! What are you do…..” Qiao Chu jumped to his feet in shock, and before he could finish his words, Brownie had with a mighty leap jumped out through the second floor’s window.
Qiao Chu was stunned.
Wasn’t such vigorous exercise right after eating a little too violent?
At the same moment that Brownie jumped out of the window, several figures appeared at the top of the second level’s stairs.
They were several human spirits dressed in the same clothes, all of them around twenty to thirty years of age, and a familiar figure stood among them.
“Eldest Senior, you had shut yourself in seclusion for so long, it’s time you should come out to walk around a little. Let me play host today, to treat you to a good meal.” Meng Yi Liang said earnestly to a man looking to be about thirty years of age, the smile on his face exceptionally sycophantic.
Jun Wu Xie had a little bit of an impression of that man. When Meng Yi Liang brought Jun Wu Xie to the Serene Spirit Tower’s twelfth level, that man had been cultivating in there.
Jiang Yun Long had come up to the Spiritual Spirit’s second level under the urging of Meng Yi Liang. He had just appeared there when several of the Beast Spirits on the second level turned their eyes upon him, their gazes filled with animosity. The second level that had been noisy and bustling with activity suddenly quietened down.
Jiang Yun Long’s brows creased up slightly as he looked at the several Beast Spirits who were staring at his sharply. His eyes then swept across the room, to look around the surroundings, like he was searching for something. But after searching through an entire round, he did not find what he was looking for and a sliver of doubt rose in his eyes.
“Eldest Senior please have a seat first.” Meng Yi Liang said with a smile.
Jiang Yun Long sat down upon a chair, his eyes still sweeping across the entire floor. The demeanor of the several Beast Spirits tensed up, all of them clenching up their claws as they continued to stare at Jiang Yun Long.
“Wu Xie? You’re here too?” Meng Yi Liang glanced around the place and saw that Jun Wu Xie was also here, immediately breaking into a smile. But when he saw Nalan Shan sitting right across Jun Wu Xie, the smile on his face quickly congealed.

“Could it be Master Uncle Nalan? Why, you’re in such great spirits these days that you do not just stay in the Tranquil Dream Forest but have instead come running outside so diligently.” Meng Yi Liang said as his lips curled up with a sneer.
Nalan Shan’s brows furrowed up slightly, not wanting to bother with Meng Yi Liang’s taunting ridicule.
Meng Yi Liang saw that Nalan Shan was not going to retort and he went on to smile more gleefully. He turned to walk over to Jun Wu Xie’s side and said: “Wu Xie, I have not seen you go to the Serene Spirit Tower throughout this period, are you feeling unwell? The Serene Spirit Tower is the most suitable place for human spirits to cultivate and it is definitely much better than you cultivating under some hopelessly obstinate fellow.”
This was the first time Qiao Chu and the rest of the companions were seeing Meng Yi Liang and all of them were staring in surprise at this fella who was acting too familiar.
[Wu Xie?]
[Addressing her so intimately? From which rock had this scoundrel popped out from that he dared to address Jun Wu Xie like this. Was he tired of living?]
Jun Wu Xie swept her gaze over Meng Yi Liang, but did not respond to him.
But Meng Yi Liang was not about to give up.
“I accompanied my Eldest Senior
to come out to walk about today and if there is anything that Wu Xie does not understand with yoru cultivation, you can just ask my Eldest Senior. My Eldest Senior’s power of the spirit is now only second to my Master’s and is much stronger than someone else.”
“No need.” Jun Wu Xie said with an eyebrow raised, feeling a little impatient.
Nalan Shan took a deep breath, trying hard to disregard Meng Yi Liang’s ridicule.
Jun Wu Xie’s rejection was cold as ice, without leaving any leeway for discussion. That made Meng Yi Liang lose face as Qiao Chu and the others sat there stifling their laughter.
Fortunately for him that this was the Spirit World. For if this was in the Middle Realm or the Lower Realm, a snively scoundrel like Meng Yi Liang would already have died from a single palm strike from Jun Wu Xie.
Meng Yi Liang had wanted to say something more when sounds of a commotion broke out downstairs. A man wearing the same uniform as Meng Yi Liang came rushing up and said highly anxiously: “Eldest Senior, Senior Meng, we found the Spiritual Bear!”
Jiang Yun Long who had been sitting quietly at the side started, and then shot up from his chair to rush straight to go right in front of the man.
“Where is the Spiritual Bear?”
“At the end of the second street downstairs. We encountered it earlier and it wanted to escape, but we managed to surround it. That beast seemed to have regained a bit of its strength and is now highly ferocious. As we fear we might not be able to hold it for long, I came here to get Eldest Senior.”
Jiang Yun Long did not remain there a moment longer but immediately rushed downstairs.
Meng Yi Liang stood stunned at the side for a moment and decided that nothing was more important than that before he went rushing down to follow.
“Spiritual Bear?” Hearing that man’s words, Qiao Chu could not help but become curious.
Nalan Shan and Jun Wu Xie arched up their eyebrow thoughtfully and the several Beast Spirits who had been sitting here on the second level suddenly stood themselves up, to go in hot pursuit of Jiang Yun Long and the other human spirits.
“What is happening? What is the Spiritual Bear?” Fei Yan asked as he looked at Nalan Shan curiously.
Nalan Shan’s brows furrowed up as he said: “The Spiritual Bear is almost like the Spirit Master among the human spirits, where they possess great spiritual gift, and could be considered to be a leader of a spirit race.”
“It’s that powerful?” Fei Yan was getting more intrigued.
But Nalan Shan’s brows were tightly furrowed together.
“But the Spiritual Bear’s spirit was dispersed due to an accident before and no Spiritual Bears had appeared among the Beast Spirits for a long time. How did it suddenly…..”
Just as Nalan Shan was feeling puzzled and confused, a bear’s roar that quaked the Heavens came in through the windows.
The sound fell into the ears of Jun Wu Xie and the others, which shook them entirely.
“That is the roar of the Spiritual Bear? But why do I feel….. that that roar sounds so familiar…..” Qiao Chu said with a gulp, as an ominous feeling of dread rose in his heart.

Chapter 2005: Spiritual Bear (2)

Jun Wu Xie and Nalan Shan stood up seemingly at the same time.
“It’s Brownie.”
That bear’s roar, was one that they were all too familiar with, as throughout the recent period, that sound had almost constantly rung in their ears. How could they not be able to recognize it?
“What? It’s really Brownie? Could Brownie be the Spiritual Bear?” Qiao Chu’s eyes were wide. Although he had felt that Brownie was a thuggish and domineering Beast Spirit, but he just could not link Brownie’s utterly shameless look to being one as the Spirit Leader of the Beast Spirits.
“I am not certain of it though. The Spiritual Bear’s fur is not brown in colour, and it has the mark of the Spirit Saint on its chest, but there was none on Brownie’s body.” Nalan Shan was still rather doubtful.
Brownie had been living with him throughout this period, so how could he possibly not remember such details on its body?
If there was the slightest suspicious sign, he would have immediately guessed Brownie’s identity but there wasn’t the slightest suspicious sign at all.
“Let’s go there first.” Jun Wu Xie said with an eyebrow lifted. No matter whether Brownie was the Spiritual Bear, the fear in that roar was undeniable.
Qiao Chu and the others did not persist on asking about the Spiritual Bear, and they immediately went rushing out.
Out on the busy and bustling street, a wide area was stood open and empty.
A bunch of human spirits dressed in the same uniform had surrounded a terrified looking brown bear, and that brown bear was the very same Brownie that had stuck itself to Nalan Shan all this while.
Jiang Yun Long and Meng Yi Liang were leading a group of their men that had Brownie completely surrounded. Brownie had attempted to breach the surrounding circle a few times but had failed. The circle was continuing to shrink and Brownie was struck by terror as it roared incessantly within the gradually contracting circle.
“What a sly and cunning beast this is. I would really like to see how it can possibly escape from here today.” The corners of Jiang Yun Long’s mouth curled up into a cruel smirk, and his body morphed into a streak of light, charging straight towards Brownie.
In the instant that Jiang Yun Long was just about to strike Brownie, several beastly roars suddenly rang out. Several massive black shadowy figures charged through the surrounding circle, and a enormous rhino with thick and tough hide stood itself right in front of Brownie, to receive the strike from Jiang Yun Long in Brownie’s place.
And that ferocious strike struck the enormous rhino so hard it let out a howl, its tough and hard hide broken. Although spirit bodies did not bleed, but that huge wound that broke upon the rhino’s body was still terrifying to look at.
Those several Beast Spirits, were the very same ones from the Spiritual Spirit Loft’s second floor earlier.
With the several Beast Spirits jumping into the fray, they forcibly broke up the encirclement. They used their massive bodies to shield Brownie right in the middle of all of them.
“What a bunch of meddlesome beasts.” Jiang Yun Long’s strike had not hit the Spiritual Bear and his eyes were oozing with thick swirling murder. He stared at the rhino who had been heavily wounded by him to say with a sneer.
“You are the scoundrel who is worse than a beast! With us here today, you can forget about taking the Spiritual Bear away!” The heavily wounded rhino summoned up his strength to stand up, panting heavily as it stood itself right in front of Brownie, its horn on its snout facing Jiang Yun Long directly.
Hearing the two words “Spiritual Bear” spoken out loud, it caused the chaotic street to fall silent in an instant. Beast Spirits who had been puzzled what was happening were now mostly staring incredulously with their eyes, their gazed fixed directly upon the violent and restless brown bear.
Jiang Yun Long’s eyes narrowed up, and a glint of viciousness flashed within as he suddenly broke out in laughter.
“Spiritual Bear? Beasts would be beasts. You’re not even able to differentiate whether that is a Spiritual Bear or not. Let me tell you that is merely just a regular Beast Spirit.”

“The Spiritual Bear’s fur has a golden sheen to it. Does that brown bear behind all of you have that? Does it have the mark of the Spirit Saint on its chest?” Jiang Yun Long said with great composure.
The shocked Beast Spirits standing on the sides all turned to look at Brownie, the many pairs of eyes seeking to find signs of the Spiritual Bear on Brownie’s body. Unfortunately, right before their eyes, they could only see an ordinary br
own bear, without the slightest hint of anything special about it.
The rhino was not moved by those words but just stood there to stare sternly at Jiang Yun Long.
“You don’t need to muddy up the waters with your deceptive words here. If it was truly just an ordinary brown bear, how could it possibly have caused the Spirit Master, Wu Jiu’s First Disciple, to come all the way out here?”
Jiang Yun Long was not flustered in the least as he said: “This brown bear wounded my fellow disciples and it has a violent and untamable disposition. The reason I came here is merely to capture and imprison it, to prevent it from harming anymore innocents.”
“Utter rubbish!” The rhino was afterall, still a Beast Spirit, and when it came to a war of words, they were naturally disadvantaged against a human spirit.
“I’m spouting rubbish? I know that you Beast Spirits have always been cohesive. But I’m sure that all of you are also aware that though some Beast Spirits are powerful, but their minds have not yet fully developed, retaining some of their beastly instincts. Such Beast Spirits, needless to say for me, as even your big boss Flame Dragon would have restrained it, to not let its savage nature run wild. So what is wrong with what I am doing here?” Jiang Yun Long was not showing the slightest tinge of nervousness or anxiety, as faced against a Beast Spirit who had only gradually come to learn to grasp complicated thoughts and speech after they took on their spirit form, in a debate, they would always be the weaker one.
The rhino was stumped for words under the verbal assault from Jiang Yun Long. What Jiang Yun Long said was true. Beast Spirits whose minds had not yet developed were not suited to be released out into the Spirit World to roam freely. But it knew in its heart that Brownie was not just an ordinary Beast Spirit. Due to its lack of skill in its speech, it was unable to clearly express its thoughts and could only snort in frustration and anxiety in such a situation.
