Chapter 781 World 329
Although she didn't know what Senior Sister Zhou was thinking, Shen Ruyin still considerately pretended to be asleep in bed, acting as if she knew nothing.
When Senior Sister Zhou pushed the door open and came in, she saw that she didn't move or ask anything, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more that she was considerate.
They weren't far from the house. It's impossible that Junior Sister Xingluo, at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, wouldn't have heard anything, but...
Senior Sister Zhou sighed inwardly, "Why isn't this my own junior sister?"
She's incredibly talented and suited for Beast Taming Peak; she's also considerate and sensible—what a wonderful junior sister!
Senior Sister Zhou, who ranked first in bringing children to the Beast Taming Peak, drifted off to sleep with this impossible expectation.
Only then did Shen Ruyin rub the head of Yu Xing, who had been reluctant to leave and had simply nestled against her neck to sleep, before closing her eyes and entering the jade slip space.
She took out a jade slip about beast taming and wrote down everything that Senior Sister Zhou had said that day, comparing it with the contents of the jade slip and adding to it.
Because it was quite a few small tasks, it was already past midnight when she finished everything.
There wasn't enough time to sleep, so Shen Ruyin exited the jade slip space and began to silently recite the cultivation method.
When Senior Sister Zhou got up in the morning, she saw Shen Ruyin lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She thought she was still resting, so she made sure to move gently.
Yu Xing, however, was already eager to go out. She nuzzled Shen Ruyin, trying to wake her from her cultivation.
As soon as Shen Ruyin opened her eyes, she met a pair of beautiful, deep eyes like amethyst crystals, and subconsciously showed a hint of appreciation and admiration.
Yu Xing understood her gaze and, overjoyed, lowered his head to touch her forehead.
Shen Ruyin and Yu Xing closed their eyes at the same time.
Senior Sister Zhou glanced over unintentionally and saw a burst of purple light around Shen Ruyin, which quickly intertwined with the icy blue spiritual energy. She immediately stopped what she was doing and stared intently at this side, protecting Shen Ruyin.
Just by looking at the frequency of her eye movements, you could tell that Senior Sister Zhou was not at peace.
After a while, Shen Ruyin opened her eyes again and found that she had a wonderful connection with Yu Xing. She could even understand Yu Xing's meaning with just a glance.
This feeling of mutual understanding was novel and something she really liked.
Shen Ruyin hugged Yu Xing, kissed him, rubbed against him, and took a breath.
Yes, from now on, Yu Xing belongs to her.
Senior Sister Zhou finally found her voice: "Congratulations, Junior Sister Xingluo."
If Zhou Shijie felt envious when she saw the spirit beast getting close to Shen Ruyin yesterday, then now that Yu Xing has taken the initiative to form a contract with Shen Ruyin, she is so envious she's almost crying.
This was initiated by the spirit beast!
Senior Sister Zhou pinched her fingertips to suppress her chaotic thoughts.
No, I'm still so envious.
For many people, the best way to form a bond with a spirit beast is, of course, a master-servant contract. This way, there is no need to worry about the spirit beast killing its master, and the spirit beast lives as long as the master lives, and dies when the master dies.
In this way, in order to survive, spirit beasts will willingly risk their lives for cultivators when faced with danger.
But for Senior Sister Zhou, a spirit beast obtained through such a contract cannot be called her natal spirit beast at all.
Moreover, how can a spirit beast, whose thoughts and personality are completely stripped away and suppressed, progress together with a beast-taming cultivator?
Spirit beasts that cannot improve will mostly be abandoned by these cultivators in the future and become consumables, which is truly tragic for spirit beasts.
Senior Sister Zhou believes that the ideal way to form a bond is through mutual consent and equality, just like Shen Ruyin and Yu Xing.
Only through mutual selection and mutual interest can we go further and further on the road ahead and have the possibility of achieving common success.
After congratulating Shen Ruyin, Senior Sister Zhou looked at Yu Xing with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to the little ancestor as well."
Yu Xing tilted her head in response.
Shen Ruyin could sense that Yu Xing was not averse to Senior Sister Zhou.
But I don't dislike it; I wouldn't say I like it that much.
Even though they've known each other for a longer time, Yu Xing only sees Senior Sister Zhou as a familiar human being.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Zhou," Shen Ruyin said reluctantly as she put Yu Xing down and got up to change her clothes. Yu Xing obediently lay on the pillow and watched her.
When Senior Sister Zhou saw this scene, her chaotic thoughts suddenly calmed down. Seeing that Shen Ruyin was about to comb her hair, she enthusiastically suggested that she do it.
Senior Sister Zhou has many junior brothers and sisters and spirit beasts under her command, and she is also very good at combing hair.
She had a lot of hair accessories for children in her drawer. She picked out two kinds and quickly styled two cute buns that ordinary girls often use for Shen Ruyin.
Shen Ruyin asked, "Senior Sister Zhou, where are we going later?"
Senior Sister Zhou said, "I originally wanted to take you to see other spirit beasts of higher rank and give you a general overview, but for now, let's go to Master first and ask her to take a look."
“You and the little ancestor have just formed a bond, and from now on you will have to work together in cultivation. In this regard, among all the members of Beast Taming Peak, only Master understands this best.”
Shen Ruyin nodded, feeling that she should seek guidance from her Uncle Li.
Without forming a bond, according to Yu Xing's original progress, it would probably take hundreds of years before he could get out of his cub state and make further progress.
But now that the contract has just been formed, perhaps due to her spiritual energy, Yu Xing seems to be about to make a new breakthrough.
Even she herself seems to have changed.
After she reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, she felt that she was fluctuating between progress and stagnation in her cultivation every time she practiced.
To advance further, she would build her foundation. Not advancing would waste the surging spiritual energy, which made her feel uncomfortable. So, each time she cultivated, she could only carefully add spiritual power to her dantian bit by bit, for fear of overflowing and losing control of her cultivation level.
As a result, she has practiced her self-control to be even more refined than before, but she is somewhat mentally exhausted.
The thought of having to live like this for many more years made her even more tired.
But now, her dantian, which seemed to be so small that adding even a little more would be inappropriate, suddenly began to absorb spiritual energy normally again.
If the dantian is a well, the amount of water it could hold before was limited, but now the well has become much deeper, allowing it to hold even more water.
As for how deep it was, Shen Ruyin hasn't found out yet.
On the surface, it appears that the leakage of spiritual energy from her body has almost completely disappeared.
Therefore, as soon as Li Fengzhu saw her, he nervously stood up.
"Xingluo, how did your cultivation level drop?"
