According to the legend, the founder ofPalace of Mystical Beasts was an emperor beast tamer, which was why their secttook the name ofPalace of MysticalBeasts.
Cheng Xiao Xiao had not expected anyonefrom Palace of Mystical Beasts would show up here, let alone inviting her tomeet up with them via a letter. She was quite surprised by it all.
The scholar beauty seemed to havealready gotten used to Cheng Xiao Xiao’s reactions. Smiling, she said, “Littlesister Xiao Xiao, you are younger than me, and a master beast tamer. I am justtwo years older than you. You can refer to me as big sister Zixuan, my familyname is Gong.”
Gong Zixuan!
That’s a pretty nice sound name. ChengXiao Xiao quickly took her advise and said, “Big sister Zixuan, did you comeall the way here just to meet me?”
“Exactly, Jun’er and I were traversing jianghu when we heard about youinadvertently. Jun’er fussed about wanting to meet you and, of course, I wa.s.somewhat curious myself as well. I hope you didn’t mind us coming unannounced!”
Zixuan smiled with one hand covering hermouth, but didn’t sound unapologetic at all.
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t too bothered bythat, “Our meeting was meant to be. It was unfortunate that our house is simpleand messy right now so I won’t be able to invite you back. I hope big sister Zixuandon’t mind that we well!”
“Okay, we don’t need to be so polite. Wehave a pretty good idea what has been going on at your house!”
Zixuan removed the jade ornament thatshe has with her and handed it over to Cheng Xiao Xiao. Smiling, she said,“Little sister Xiao Xiao, I am gifting you this jade ornament. You can comevisit me at Palace of Mystical Beasts in the future!”
“Thank you, big sister Zixuan!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not decline hergift. She didn’t have any precious jewelries on her, so she produced a vinefrom little Yuteng and handed it over to her, “Big sister Zixuan, I am going togift you this vine. No matter where you are, when you run into trouble, justtake this out. It will be able to help you out!”
“Oh? What kind of vine is it? Thatpowerful?” Gong Zixuan was a bit surprised. She took the lush green vine fromCheng Xiao Xiao. It looked like a vine but also like a whip. More importantly,it felt nice and smooth like a jade in her hand. It felt more like a whip madeout of jade than a vine.
Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell that shereally liked the gift, smiling she said, “Big sister Zixuan, try swinging it atthat large tree over there!”
Zixuan turned and look and saw a largetree not too far from them. She nodded and said, “Okay!” She waved the vine atthe tree like a flash of thunder.
BOOM!
A loud noise and the tree that wouldtake two to hug was broken mid-length. The power of the vine startled both GongZixuan and her maid.
“Oh so powerful!!” shrieked the littlebook servant after she’d recovered from the initial shock.
Zixuan looked at the tree trunk that wasblown apart and then at the vine in her hand. Smiling, she said to Cheng XiaoXiao, “What an amazing gift from little sister Xiao Xiao. Big sister likes it alot. Thank you so much!”
“I am glad big sister Zixuan is happywith her gift!”
As for the jade vine, as long as she hasYuteng with her, Cheng Xiao Xiao could have as many as she wanted. Of course,these were not items that she’d casually give away as gifts normally.
She wouldn’t have given away a vine fromlittle Yuteng had Gong Zixuan not given her a keepsake of Palace of MysticalBeasts – the jade ornament. Her principle has always been that if someonetreats her nice, she will treat them even better.
After they have arranged for the nextmeeting, they parted ways in the little book servants longing look (longinglook for the snow leopard).
After they have departed, Cheng XiaoXiao entered the dimension with the snow leopard.
“Well, Yuteng, how many levels did we advance?”
