Chapter 38 Little Seven's Background
Chapter 38 Xiao Qi's Background
"Honey Badger and Rainbow Jade made a great contribution today, they deserve extra food! Silver Moon and A'Dai too, you two need to work hard in the upcoming competitions. Oh right, and our newest member, Little Seven. You're still too young to eat much, so I won't give you extra for now." Lin Manman took out the spirit food she had prepared for her five pets. Today, she had specially added spirit beast meat to all the spirit pets except for Little Seven. Before, because Rainbow Jade and A'Dai had only recently hatched, she hadn't dared to feed them spirit beast meat, so this was their first taste of meat.
Not only did the spirit beasts get an extra meal today, but Lin Manman and her group of five also planned to treat themselves. So after the elimination rounds, Liu Ping and the other two went to the hotel to book a private room, and Fang Yaqi, being a foodie, went along to order food as well. Only Lin Manman remained in the guest room, so she took the opportunity to hold an awards ceremony for the little ones.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah~" The human world is so wonderful! I won't get eaten, and there's so much delicious food!
"Awoo? Awoo..." You'll get eaten? Little Qi, where do you live?
Lin Manman and her spirit pets formed a circle, watching them eat. Hearing Xiao Qi and Yin Yue's conversation, she became interested as well. Ever since Xiao Qi discovered the spirit pet space after being contracted, it had insisted that she put it inside and refused to come out. Therefore, aside from deducing from its few words on the first day that it had some connection to the Tree of Life, she knew nothing else about it.
Little Seven was stumped by Silver Moon's question. It struggled to think of a way to express itself while holding the spirit fruit that was about the same size as itself. "Waaah...waaah, waaah..." Hmm...that is, there are so many trees, and so many spirit beasts. They are fighting and they want to eat me.
"Waaah, waaah, waaah..." A white and black friend protected me, then it was locked up, and many people wanted to take it away. So I turned into a fruit and followed them, and then... and then... I arrived at a place with lots of fruits...
Lin Manman tried hard to understand what Xiao Qi was trying to say, and guessed that it might have been smuggled into the secret realm by a human expedition team. The human explorers had captured Xiao Qi's friend, and Xiao Qi, sensing that its friend would be taken away, used its simulation skill to transform into a spirit fruit, which was also brought over. After arriving here, the explorers must have sold its friend and Xiao Qi separately; the place with many spirit fruits was probably a spirit food shop.
It seems that the mysterious old man recognized and bought Xiao Qi at the Spirit Food Shop.
"Roar." I didn't expect you to be so brave and loyal at such a young age.
The honey badger recalled how it had helped Ah-Dai escape and felt a surge of admiration for Xiao-Qi. Even though it thought Xiao-Qi was so small and weak, it would protect it well!
"Hiss?" What about your friend?
"Waaah, waaaah..." I don't know why, but when I woke up there were only lots of fruit around me...
"Waaaaah, waaaah...waaaah." A person with white hair led me away, there was the scent of the mother tree...I wanted to get closer, but I couldn't move.
Lin Manman frowned. So the old man didn't want to give Xiao Qi to her; he sensed that Xiao Qi wanted to get closer to him, so he just went along with it.
Remembering the seed she carried, she hesitated for a moment, then took it down. The seed had withered; it was merely a constant reminder to her. But now she had Xiao Qi. As long as Xiao Qi was there, her brother would surely wake up.
She cut the necklace cord shorter and then put it around Xiaoqi's neck. "Xiaoqi, since you like it so much, I'll give it to you."
Hopefully, this necklace will bring some comfort and a sense of security to Xiao Qi.
Little Qi, fluttering its wings, stared blankly at the seed on its chest, the spirit fruit it was holding falling to the ground. When it realized what was happening and looked up at Lin Manman, its pair of bright black eyes were like obsidian soaked in water.
"Waaaaah? Waaaaah?" Give it to me? Really give it to me?
"Yes, this is for you. From now on, you must eat well and cultivate diligently. If there's a chance, I'll take you to find your friends, but I can't guarantee we'll be able to." Lin Manman looked at the adorable, elf-like Xiao Qi, her heart melting with tenderness.
"Hiss! Hiss!" Master! Now that we have Xiao Qi, we can't be too biased!
Hongyu's beautiful head squeezed between Lin Manman and Xiaoqi, interrupting the tender eye contact between the two.
Silver Moon slapped Rainbow Jade's beautiful and handsome snake head hard onto the hotel carpet with a "smack." "Ouch..." What a scheming little snake!
"Ouch! Ouch..." It hurts! Master, look at it, it hit me again...
Knowing she couldn't beat Yin Yue, Hong Yu raised her teary, pale pink eyes and tried to charm Lin Manman.
Lin Manman laughed heartily, then hugged Yinyue and rubbed Hongyu. Since having these precious babies, her life had become both fulfilling and interesting. She was very glad that when the system gave her the choice, she chose the Beastmaster profession.
"Alright, Silver Moon, you're the older sister, so be gentler next time. Rainbow Jade is so pretty, how will she find a boyfriend if she gets brain damage?"
Ah-Dai nestled next to the honey badger, closing his eyes to digest his food after finishing. Occasionally, he'd glance over. Ever since the honey badger evolved, Ah-Dai's mentality had become unstable. Who knew that Lin Manman's contracted spirit pets would all have better aptitude than his, driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown. So now, whenever he has a spare moment, he quietly improves, playing it safe.
Lin Manman was happily petting her pet when Fang Yaqi's message arrived.
"The food is being served! Come and eat, my hero!"
Lin Manman smiled slightly, "Mom has gone to cook too, so you can make do for a little longer and go into the spirit pet space to cultivate for a while."
When Lin Manman arrived at the second-floor lobby, she bumped into four or five teenagers who were walking out, chatting and laughing. Lin Manman instinctively moved aside, but to her surprise, the teenagers moved aside as well. Both of them were slightly taken aback and looked at each other.
"You... are that beast tamer Lin Manman?" the boy asked with a hint of doubt as he met Lin Manman's gaze.
Lin Manman blinked, and before she could decide whether to answer yes or no, the other person laughed happily. "You're the one who slammed Han Yue to the ground, right? Well done!"
"That immature young master deserves to be taught a lesson," a voice echoed from behind the boy.
"Ahem." The boy coughed, stopping his companion. "We're from Jinling University Affiliated High School, and we advanced today too. We're both considered local forces in Jinling, so let's exchange contact information. We might be able to share information."
Lin Manman thought about it and decided it was a good idea. She raised her hand and exchanged contact information with the other party.
"By the way, you'd better be careful of Feng Moyun from the Feng family in the capital. We lost to her in one of our matches today, and I felt like she wasn't even going all out. She's also a beast tamer, and she summoned three spirit pets when she fought us... I see you're here for dinner too, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll send you the video of our match later." The boy was about to say something more when his companion nudged him from behind, signaling him to be mindful of the situation, so he quickly ended the conversation.
That's quite a piece of valuable information. Lin Manman smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Then thank you, senior."
