"Li! Previously, Master said he'd grant you your freedom and after much contemplation, I've finally thought of a suitable name for you."
Hei was overjoyed upon hearing Zhang San's words.
Although following Zhang San had been enjoyable, if given the choice, he wouldn't want to remain a mount forever.
Now, not only had he regained his freedom, but he even had his own name, so naturally, Hei eagerly asked, "Brother San, what's my name?"
"Your surname is Li, with the single character 'Jing' as your given name."
"'Jing'? As in 'essence'?"
Hei was utterly confused. While it was true that he had engaged in some indescribable but truly exhilarating incidents with Princess Ying Zhao and Khan Long Bo, it was rather unfair for Zhang San, his former master who had ridden him so many times, to use a name that suggested such implications!
"'Jing' means peace and stability."
It took Hei quite some time to realize which character Zhang San meant.
