Chapter Twelve: I Didn’t Push Her

Page 1/3

Jiang Wan: I just received the Extreme Yin Pearl, and now you want to give me the Extreme Yang Pearl as well.

She glanced at the little Jiang Yao, who seemed even more mature than herself, and nodded in agreement.

“All right, then let’s go together!”

I thought this little girl was unusually steady. Even though children in the cultivation world mature early, this little one seemed far too precocious.

It was a good opportunity to see what she was really up to.

Letting those two little short legs walk by themselves would take who knows how long to reach the destination.

Of course, Zixiang took her and flew on a sword to the Spirit Beast Peak.

Zixiang looked toward the Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator guarding Jiang Yao and transmitted her voice through spiritual sense.

“Junior Sister Jiang Yao, why did you suddenly want to come to Spirit Beast Peak? Lord Leng Feng is undergoing a tribulation, and after it, his cultivation will rise. He will definitely select better spirit beasts for the two junior sisters. There’s no need to rush the selection now, right?”

The Foundation Establishment cultivator accompanying Jiang Yao glanced at her with an air of aloofness and arrogance.

“The affairs of the two junior sisters are none of your concern. We are just here to accompany and look after them.”

Seeing such unfriendliness, Zixiang stopped speaking to her.

Jiang Yao, with an innocent and lively expression, pulled Jiang Wan to the Spirit Beast Peak. Upon seeing them arrive, some senior brothers from Spirit Beast Peak immediately came over to inquire.

“Junior Sisters, what brings you here?”

Jiang Yao’s voice was crisp and clear:

“Senior Brother, we came to see the newly arrived batch of little tabby cats. We both want to raise a tabby cat as our spirit pet.”

Jiang Wan looked around curiously. Had she ever mentioned wanting to raise a tabby cat as a spirit pet?

The Foundation Establishment stage senior uncle opposite, hearing this, enthusiastically led them to a large cage containing two tabby cats.

They were still tiny kittens, barely the size of a palm, covered in pure white fur, looking soft and fluffy, just perfect to cuddle.

Not just children’s hearts—who could resist melting at such a sight?

Jiang Yao looked at her and said:

“Junior Sister, these two cats look so similar. How about each of us picks one? You choose first.”

Jiang Wan squatted by the cage, troubled as she looked at the two kittens. She had no idea which one carried the White Tiger bloodline and silently called out:

“System, system, which one has the White Tiger bloodline? Huh?”

After a while, the system gave no reply.

Jiang Yao urged her from beside.

“Junior Sister, hurry up and choose!”

Jiang Wan picked one at random, since the two looked identical and she couldn’t tell the difference.

“I’ll take this one then!”

The pure white tabby cat was taken out and handed to Jiang Wan, while Jiang Yao immediately reached out to hold it.

“Junior Sister, this tabby cat is really adorable and so well-behaved! By the way, you don’t know how to contract with a spirit beast yet, right? I’ll teach you.”

Jiang Yao bit her fingertip, letting a drop of blood fall onto the kitten’s paw pad, then activated a formation and successfully formed the contract.

“See? It’s just like that. Ah, I forgot this is your choice. How about you take that one instead? They’re the same anyway.”

Jiang Wan watched her actions carefully. Was this little girl some kind of tea spirit? Had she just told her to choose, only to snatch the cat and claim it as her own?

Such subtle words and behaviors made Jiang Wan laugh quietly.

This little girl was suspicious—she wasn’t certain yet, so better keep observing.

“Oh, so that’s how you form a contract. Thank you for teaching me.”

Jiang Wan then pointed to the other tabby cat and said to the Foundation Establishment cultivator nearby:

“Senior Uncle, please help me take that one.”

This tabby cat looked no different from the other—covered entirely in white fur with no speck of color.

The kitten obediently meowed in her hands.

Jiang Yao urged again.

“Junior Sister, quickly contract with it!”

Contract it, contract it. In her past life, she surely would have chosen this one. Since Jiang Yao had snatched it away, she might as well contract with the one with the lesser bloodline!

In two years, the white fur on this cat would fade, replaced by mottled gray, becoming a true tabby.

But the one she held would awaken the White Tiger bloodline within, remaining pure white. With the divine beast White Tiger’s bloodline, other spirit beasts would be suppressed in its presence.

Jiang Wan, looking at Jiang Yao’s behavior, felt she might know something.

A drop of blood merged into the tabby cat’s body, and the master-servant contract was formed.

[Among many tabby cats, you have found the only one in the world with the White Tiger bloodline, proving your special affinity with it.

To revive the tabby cat with the White Tiger bloodline, you resurrected the entire tabby cat clan, spending much time and enduring great hardships.

Finally, you succeeded in bringing it back to your side, and it willingly signed the master-servant contract with you. The bond between you is profound and touching.

Mission accomplished.

You have taken a significant step toward redemption.

Mission complete.

Mission reward: Extreme Yang Pearl!]

Jiang Wan saw a pearl glowing with a pale golden light in the system’s inventory, shining in harmony with the black pearl in the adjacent slot.

One Yin and one Yang—her obsessive-compulsive tendencies finally felt at ease.

After playing with her newly acquired spirit beast for a while, Jiang Wan, holding the tabby cat, planned to return. She was hungry.

The Fasting Pill had no nutritional value, and she was only just over three years old, still growing.

“I want to go back and eat,” she said, then remembered and looked up at the senior uncle standing nearby.

“Senior Uncle, what do cats eat?”

“Spirit Feeding Pills. I happen to have two bottles here, one for each of you junior nephews. Each bottle contains ten pills, and one pill can sustain a month.”

Jiang Wan took the jade pendants handed to her and Jiang Yao.

Just as she received hers, Jiang Yao said:

“Junior Sister, your Spirit Feeding Bracelet is so beautiful. I want one too. Can I see it?”

Without hesitation, Jiang Yao reached to touch the bracelet on Jiang Wan’s wrist, but this time Jiang Wan didn’t indulge her—she reached out and pushed her down.

Perhaps due to her strong push, Jiang Yao fell to the ground and even rolled over.

“Wah! Jiang Wan is bullying me! Jiang Wan bullied and hit me!”

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes. What kind of brat wanted to touch her bracelet without permission? If she got hold of it, she’d probably want to take it away.

“Jiang Wan, why are you bullying Yao Yao?”

Xue Yun Fairy, having just witnessed Lord Leng Feng’s tribulation and now hearing that the two children had come to Spirit Beast Peak, had come over.

She saw Jiang Wan pushing Jiang Yao to the ground.

Jiang Wan looked at the flying Xue Yun Fairy, then glanced at Jiang Yao crying on the ground.

What a brat, falling and sleeping wherever she falls.

“Mother, I didn’t bully her. She wanted the Spirit Feeding Bracelet that Father gave me, but I wouldn’t give it, so I just pushed her a little. She fell and refused to get up.”

Xue Yun Fairy held Jiang Yao in her arms, frowning at Jiang Wan.

“If you didn’t want to give it, no one forced you. Why did you push her down?

It seems I really need to teach you some discipline. Starting tomorrow, I’ll arrange for someone to teach you reading, writing, manners, and etiquette for six months. Once you’ve done well, then you can start cultivation.”

Jiang Wan… tilted her head, countless question marks popping up above it.

Is this lady all right? She wasn’t like this before.
