Cheng Zheng Yuan let out a long breathe and said determinedly,“Big sister, let’s work becoming the most powerful and special individuals!”


“Ho ho ho….,” laughed Chang Xiao Xiao happily and asked again, “Ofcourse, we will be the strongest!”


Casting a glance at him, she suddenly thought of something, “ZhengYuan, what kind of beast do you like?”


“Beast?” Asked Cheng Zheng Yuan, perplexed.


“Yes, what do you like? Wolf? Tiger? Lion? Just don’t ask for azuredragon, white tiger, black tortoise (“xuanwu”), vermilion bird1,kirin, or giant eagle. Those I don’t have!”

Well, it wasn’t that they didn’t exist, but the dimension haven’tleveled up enough. She couldn’t quite produce them just yet.


“Big sister, what do you mean?” Cheng Zheng Yuan still didn’t knowwhat her intention was.


Cheng Xiao Xiao patted him on his shoulder, “Zheng Yuan, nevermind why I ask, just tell me what you like the best right now?”


“Wolf? Tiger? Lion?” Cheng Zheng Yuan mumbled to himself, thenwith the most seriously tone, he said, “Big sister, I like wolves!”


“Wolf? Okay!”


She had already collected and tamed an azure wolf a while back.Smiling, she said, “Zheng Yuan, you know, there will be turmoil coming our wayshortly. So I am going to give you an azure wolf for a pet!”


“WHAT?”


Cheng Zheng Yuan shouted out uncontrollably. But before he couldsay anything else, a flash appeared next to his sister and a gigantic,ferocious azure wolf now stood in front of him.


“This…”


He was stunned. The azure wolf eyed his new master with disgruntlement.


The azure wolf and his young mistress could communicatetelepathically, he knew full well that he has been gifted to the rug rat infront of him. He wasn’t pleased with that decision, but also knew that how hefelt was irrelevant.


“Zheng Yuan, to tell you the truth. I am a beast tamer!” ChengXiao Xiao chuckled at the dumbfounded look on her brother.


“Tame… tame…. Big sister, you said you are a beast tamer?” ChengZheng Yuan couldn’t quite comprehend what he had just heard.


How did he now know when the sister that he grew up with hadbecame so powerful? He had no idea. And she’s a beast tamer?


“That’s right. I am a beast tamer!”


Cheng Xiao Xiao continued to ask, “What, don’t you believe me?Hasn’t the appearance of the azure wolf convinced you of that? Xiao Ching2,go to your new master!”


“That.. that’s not what I meant!” Cheng Zheng Yuan shook his head,then turned and looked at the azure wolf. He knew his sister wasn’t lying tohim.


But this surprise was too huge! He couldn’t quite process thatjust yet! He knew there were azure wolves in the hidden parts of the mountains.He had hunted one before when he went he went hunting with his father in thepast, but that one was much smaller than this one in size.


“Big sister, thank you so much!” Cheng Zheng Yuan calmed down andaccepted his gift and thanked his sister gratefully.


“You are welcome. Having this king of all wolves, I am also goingto delegate to you the responsibilities of taking care of the entire clan of wolves.I trust that you will do a good job project our place, right?”


“Yes!” He replied decisively.


“Good, take the azure wolf for walks whenever you have free timeand guard our land. I think we are expecting quite a few visitors shortly!”


“Big sister, I understand. I will do a good job and not disappointyou!”


“Okay, I am putting my trust in you!”
