Chapter 778 World 326
Of course, they didn't go when they were called back; the people had only been gone a short while.
But tomorrow morning, Shen Ruwan will inevitably be nagged by Sect Leader Qian for a while.
Firstly, to confirm that she did not have the same intention of prematurely establishing her foundation; secondly, to remind her to keep an eye on her younger sister.
Shen Ruwan didn't know what her master was thinking. At this moment, she and her sister had already entered the Beast Taming Peak.
Because he had received Chen Ling's message in advance, Peak Master Li of Beast Taming Peak specially sent someone to the foot of the mountain to pick up Shen Ruyin.
The Shen Ruyin sisters followed behind their senior sister, slowly walking uphill, and discovered traces of many small animals along the way.
Shen Ruwan looked on with envy: "Senior Sister, are these all spirit beasts raised by Beast Taming Peak?"
“Most of them are,” the senior sister said. “A small number of them are wild animals that grow in the mountains. They have just become familiar with us and have not done anything to harm us, so we haven’t cleaned them up.”
"Besides," the senior sister said somewhat tactfully, "survival of the fittest, some of the spirit beasts we raise also need to be kept in good condition."
Shen Ruyin immediately understood her meaning and felt somewhat in agreement.
Some fierce wild animals can easily lose their wildness if they stay in an environment where they have been domesticated for a long time.
Some cultivators who practice beast taming prefer such docile spirit beasts, finding them easier to control.
Some believe that if spirit beasts lose their nature, their combat power will weaken, and the taming of beasts will also be prone to problems, leading them to advocate for a greater respect for nature.
In retrospect, the Beast Taming Peak of the Supreme Sect is a practitioner of the latter concept.
Shen Ruwan has little resistance to fluffy little creatures. Hearing this and seeing their cute appearance, she felt a pang of pity and squatted down to reach out her hands, wanting them to come to her side.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruwan's desire to get close had the opposite effect; instead of approaching, the little spirit beasts disappeared in a flash.
The senior student glanced at her, not surprised, and comforted her: "They grow wild in the mountains and know best how to seek advantage and avoid harm. They are not usually close to strangers."
Shen Ruwan nudged her younger sister's hand: "Xingluo, why don't you give it a try?"
"Me?" Shen Ruyin keenly noticed that after her sister said those words, her senior sister, though seemingly still looking straight ahead, was intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to her.
Shen Ruyin's eyelids trembled, and she glanced around before her gaze fell directly on a white ball on the top of a tree.
It wasn't that other spirit beasts weren't cute, but once Shen Ruyin noticed this particular spirit beast, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
The mythical beast was tempting her.
Look at that soft, glossy fur, look at that beautiful big tail, look at those white ears with a touch of dark purple, look at those charming eyes with slightly upturned eyeliner, and those pink little paw pads that are casually opened a little bit.
If he wasn't seducing her, what was he doing?
“That is…” Senior Sister clearly recognized the spirit beast. “How did it get out?”
Shen Ruwan also thought it was pretty, and upon hearing this, she asked, "Senior sister, shouldn't this little fox be here?"
Senior Sister nodded: "This fox is the cub of the Peak Master's natal spirit beast. It is said that its bloodline has a tendency to revert to its ancestral form. Don't be fooled by the fact that it only has one tail now. As its cultivation grows, it may become the auspicious beast Nine-Tailed Fox."
"For this reason, countless senior brothers and sisters have wanted to gain its recognition and make it their natal spirit beast, but none of them have succeeded."
"This little fox finds us too annoying and bothersome, so it usually stays in the main hall and rarely comes out."
Shen Ruyin looked at the little fox's pointed ears and the dark purple tip of its tail that had just been revealed, and felt that the little fox's bloodline must have some mutation.
Shen Ruyin and the little fox on the treetop stared at each other for a moment, then tilted her head before slowly reaching out her hand: "I'm going to Uncle Li's place, do you want to come with me?"
When the senior sister saw that Shen Ruyin wanted to take the spirit fox away, she didn't think it was a good idea, and her expression inevitably showed her disapproval.
All the senior brothers and sisters on Beast Taming Peak had spent so much effort offering tribute, yet they still couldn't get a glimpse of this little ancestor. Junior Sister Xingluo had just arrived, and hadn't brought anything with her yet. How could... possibly...?
To her senior's astonishment, the little fox nimbly leaped down from the tree, landing on a branch almost level with Shen Ruyin.
The senior sister's breathing became heavier, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound, lest she disturb this little darling.
Shen Ruyin still smiled, looking gently at the little fox.
The little fox's ears twitched, and it tentatively reached its little paw into her hand before pulling it back. After repeating this several times, it finally placed its foot firmly on her hand.
It didn't need Shen Ruyin to hold it; instead, it stepped on her hand and draped its arm over her shoulder.
It's still small and not heavy at all, but its tail always manages to brush against Shen Ruyin's cheek.
Shen Ruyin tilted her head: "Can I hold you?"
The little fox didn't look up, but it didn't refuse when Shen Ruyin reached out to move it down and hug it. It changed its position in Shen Ruyin's arms, closed its eyes comfortably, and enjoyed Shen Ruyin's service.
Shen Ruwan looked on with envy, but she felt even more honored.
What my sister couldn't accomplish even with all the senior brothers and sisters on Beast Taming Peak, she solved in a single glance.
She smiled and looked at her senior sister: "Senior sister, shouldn't we continue on our way? Let's not keep Peak Master Li waiting."
"Ah, yes, yes," the senior sister came back to her senses, glanced at it, and couldn't help but glance at it again.
After leading them uphill for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Junior Sister Xingluo, how did you do that?"
She twitched her nose: "You didn't bring anything with you, and you're not wearing any fragrance that spirit beasts like."
“I don’t need fragrance,” Shen Ruyin said naturally. “I just really like it, I think it’s cute and I want to get close to it, so I just asked it directly.”
"Whether it comes with us or not is its own decision."
The senior sister was starting to have doubts: "How can a spirit beast possibly see through my efforts?"
“Of course,” Shen Ruyin said confidently, stroking the little fox. “It’s very smart.”
In her arms, the little fox obediently opened its eyes slightly and glanced at this senior sister from Beast Taming Peak.
My senior sister believed it immediately.
"No wonder Master often talks about you, regretting that he couldn't take you as his disciple."
The senior sister looked at Shen Ruyin with pity: "If only you were my own junior sister, even the little ancestor likes you so much, what would the other men think?"
Shen Ruyin didn't respond to that; her ability to attract small animals was a matter of the soul.
Although she also loves small animals, looking at her future development, she still has the best prospects at Po Nian Peak.
Shen Ruwan changed the subject at the right moment: "Other men? Senior sister, are you referring to spirit beasts?"
“Yes,” knowing that Shen Ruyin has such amazing talent, her senior sister couldn’t wait for her to come to Beast Taming Peak more often. Once they got to know each other better, she could ask her for help. So, she started counting on her fingers the number of difficult beasts they had to deal with.
Senior sister is quite skilled at storytelling. She talked about how difficult these strange beasts are to deal with, as well as their good qualities and heartwarming aspects. Shen Ruwan even wanted to ask for one to take home and raise.
They chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the place where the disciples lived.
Shen Ruyin, holding her little darling, was very conspicuous. As she passed by a disciple, she would "steal" the soul from that disciple's heart.
After they left, the disciples burst into disbelief.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? That's the little ancestor?"
"Exactly! The little darling is lying so obediently in someone's arms, could he have fainted from being injured?"
"No, absolutely not, I just saw the little ancestor open his eyes."
"Waaaah, why doesn't my little darling even look at me?"
"That looked like Junior Sister Xingluo from Po Nian Peak. She must be here to see the Peak Master. Let's go check it out!"
Shen Ruyin was stroking the little fox's fur when she suddenly felt something was wrong and glanced behind her.
?
Are you all alright at Beast Taming Peak?
