“Don’t get any crazy ideas!” Zhou Jinjiang seemed to have an idea about what Cheng Biyuan was about to ask, “Don’t you worry, his majesty merely wanted to know whether the Cheng’s truly has a beast tamer. This is very important and you must be honest to me. Biyuan, you know it as well as I do how important are beast tamers to Dafeng!”
“I understand!” Cheng Biyuan felt better after he heard that. His look lingered on his eldest daughter and he smiled, “Brother Zhou, if it was any one else, I wouldn’t’ breathe a word. But I don’t need to beat around the bush with you, the real master beast tamer is Xiao Xiao. She can definitely command tens and thousands of beasts!”
“It’s Xiao Xiao?”
Zhou Jinjiang was more than a little bit surprised, he never expected the beast tamer to be the eldest and most timid Cheng Xiao Xiao.
In his mind, Cheng Xiao Xiao was the most timid of them all. Every time he seen her in the past, she just sat there quietly, never talked much.
By now Cheng Xiao Xiao had a pretty good idea what was the old Cheng Xiao Xiao like previously. Zhou Jinjiang’s expression has given his thoughts away. Smiling tenderly, she said, “Uncle Zhou, do you not believe it? Would you like me to summon them to play with you?”
“Play with me?” Zhou Jinjiang didn’t understand what she meant by that.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled mysteriously, a wave of her arm and a fiery bird appeared. This was a new species that appeared after the dimension had levelled up. After cultivated by little Yuteng, it was no longer just a regular bird, it has gained the ability to battle.
In addition to being able to fly, it was also able to breathe fire. This was the ability of the fiery bird.
“This is a mystical beast!”
Zhou Jinjiang’s eyes widened with both surprises and excitement on his face. He now believed in the words of the Cheng’s. The once little brat had truly became a beast tamer.
“Good, good, good. Awesome, awesome. This is great!” exclaimed Zhou Jinjiang ecstatically. He was happy both for Cheng Biyuan and also for the fact that there’s now a beast tamer in Dafeng.
Everybody at the Cheng’s smiled and Cheng Xiao Xiao was quite fond of this Uncle Zhou as well. After little Yuteng had peeked into his heart, she had discovered that he was genuinely nice toward her family.
“Uncle Zhou, this is a fiery bird. It could carry it’s own in flight and also a.s.sist you in battle. I am gifting it to you as a pet, please do accept it. Otherwise, my feelings will be hurt!”
“For me?”
Zhou Jinjiang was very surprised. But he was quite fond of the fiery bird in front of him. Under order, the fiery bird walked toward him and nuzzled him gently with its head. One could tell it was trying to please him.
“HAHAHA! Okay, Xiao Xiao, Uncle Zhou thank you. I will accept your gift!”
“I am glad Uncle Zhou is happy with his gift!” Cheng Xiao Xiao gave a sweet smile.
Cheng Biyuan was equally happy. Smiling, he said, “Brother Zhou, it’s okay. Xiao Xiao had plenty of mystical beasts. It’s rare that she was willing to give them away as gift, if you don’t accept it, it will be your loss!”
“Dad! I am not that frugal!”
“I don’t know if you are frugal or not, I only know that you charge others mystical stones to eat our food!”
“HAHAHA…..”
The conversation between the Cheng’s father and daughter made Zhou Jinjiang laughed wholeheartedly, “I have heard about that too. About how you are using those jerks from the School of Divine Condor as labors for days and even made them pay for their meals with mystical stones. Everybody had heard about that on the outside already. HAHAHA….”
“HOHOHO….”
Everybody started laughing. The laughter surprised the guards waiting outside the courtyard. Of course, those who had heard the conversation was not so surprised.
