Chapter 17 Xiao Wu and Xiao Yu Fight Over Food
In the makeshift camp on the outskirts of the forest, the campfire crackled, tearing a warm yellow hue through the night. Yan Hu was counting the soul beast materials, while Su Qing used her Qinghe Martial Soul to treat the minor injuries Yan Hu had sustained while hunting soul beasts. The camp was filled with the faint scent of herbs and the aroma of roasted meat.
Yan Zu leaned against an ancient tree, and while everyone was busy, he quietly muttered to himself, "System, monthly check-in."
[Ding! Monthly check-in successful!]
[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: 500 Spirit Beast Pills (bottle)]
[Reward Description: This pill is specially crafted for soul beasts, containing pure vitality and spiritual nourishment. Long-term use can accelerate the growth process of soul beasts, gradually enhance their intelligence, and has no side effects. It is suitable for soul beasts of all grades.]
Yan Zu was overjoyed. Instantly, a bright white jade bottle appeared in his palm. The moment he opened the bottle, a sweet fragrance of herbs and trees filled the air.
Just as he was about to examine it closely, a sudden, urgent chirping sound came from his spiritual world. Xiao Yu transformed into a jade-colored stream of light and leaped out, landing on his shoulder. Her little nose twitched incessantly, her big, watery eyes were fixed on the jade bottle, and her little paws were tugging at his sleeve, looking like she was drooling.
"Looks like you know your stuff." Yan Zu chuckled, pouring out a round spirit beast pill from the bottle—the pill was pure white and slightly warm to the touch. He gently held it to Xiao Yu's lips, and the little guy immediately opened his mouth and took it. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, turning into a pale green energy that flowed through his meridians.
In a short while, a soft jade-like light emanated from Xiaoyu's body, and her already lively eyes became even brighter. She affectionately rubbed against Yan Zu's cheek, making soft "ee-ya" sounds, and her intelligence seemed to have increased slightly in an instant, with a hint of dependence and cunning in her eyes.
"The effect is immediate," Yan Zu thought to himself. Just as he was about to feed Xiao Yu another one, he suddenly heard light footsteps behind him. Xiao Wu skipped over, her nose twitching as she was immediately drawn to the fragrance emanating from the jade bottle: "Brother Zu, what are you holding? It smells so good!"
Yan Zu quickly put away most of the jade bottle, leaving only one in his palm: "It's nothing, just a spirit beast pill for Xiao Yu to help it grow."
"A spirit beast pill?" Xiao Wu's gaze was fixed on the pill, her eyes sparkling as if she had spotted a favorite snack. "It looks so delicious! Little brother A-Zu, I want to try some too!"
"This is for spirit beasts, it's not suitable," Yan Zu advised helplessly.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. Food for soul beasts? This is tailor-made for me!
Xiao Wu tugged at Yan Zu's arm and shook it gently, pleading, "Oh, just one! I feel so attracted to it, maybe I can eat it!"
Seeing Xiao Wu's expectant look, Yan Zu finally couldn't resist her and handed her the spirit beast pill in his palm. Xiao Wu immediately took it and took a bite without hesitation. The sweet taste exploded in her mouth, carrying a gentle energy that slid into her stomach. Her eyes lit up: "Wow! So delicious! Sweeter than the wild fruits in the village! And after eating it, I feel so comfortable, so warm."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu suddenly wrinkled her nose and scratched her scalp: "Hiss...why does my scalp feel a little itchy?"
Looking at her adorable, bewildered expression, Yan Zu couldn't help but tease her, "Is this elixir helping you develop your intelligence? Do you feel like you're growing a brain?"
Xiao Wu didn't quite understand at first, but nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! It's that feeling of having a clearer mind!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Yan Zu was mocking her. She glared at him, her eyes wide with embarrassment and anger, and reached out to tickle him: "Fine! Zu, you dare mock Sister Xiao Wu for being brainless! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Yan Zu was prepared and smiled as he dodged to the side, but Xiao Wu wouldn't let it go, chasing him around the campfire. Xiao Yu, who was on his shoulder, also jumped down to join in the fun, circling around the two of them, occasionally tugging at Xiao Wu's skirt with her little paws and making cheerful chirping noises.
Watching this scene, Yan Hu cracked open some sunflower seeds and remarked, "So, we've got two little beasts to raise now, haven't we?"
Su Qing rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't suppress the smile on her lips: "You're the beast."
"I'm the beast, and you're the beast tamer, alright?" Yan Hu said with a grin.
Su Qing ignored him and focused her gaze on the two children, her eyes filled with tenderness.
After their playful fight, Xiao Wu slumped onto the grass, still thinking about the bottle of spirit beast pills: "No way, these spirit beast pills are so delicious! I want to eat them every day!"
Yan Zu shook his head helplessly, looking at those stubborn yet expectant eyes, and finally couldn't bear to refuse: "Alright, three a day, no more."
"Yay! Brother Azu is the best!" Xiao Wu cheered, pounced over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then ran off to show off to Xiao Yu with satisfaction.
From then on, the spirit beast pills became Xiaoyu's daily rations and Xiaowu's exclusive "snacks." Every evening, the two "beasts," one big and one small, would squat in front of Yan Zu on time, eagerly waiting to be fed.
Xiaoyu ate elegantly, chewing each piece slowly; Xiaowu ate heartily, swallowing each piece in one gulp and then squinting her eyes to savor the taste for a long time.
As Xiaoyu consumed spirit beast pills daily, its growth rate became increasingly astonishing, its intelligence grew higher and higher, and it gradually became able to understand more of Yan Zu's commands.
A month later.
Xiao Wu rushed into Yan Zu's room, excitedly shouting, "Brother Zu! I'm level 14!"
Yan Zu, who was practicing his sword, stopped and turned around. Looking at Xiao Wu's flushed face from excitement, he smiled and said, "So fast? Half a month earlier than I expected."
"That's right!" Xiao Wu proudly raised her chin. "I mean what I say!"
Yan Zu nodded: "Alright, then I will keep my promise."
He took Xiaowu back to the room, closed the door, and his expression became serious.
"Sister Xiaowu, what I'm about to teach you is extremely precious, and you must never pass it on to anyone else," Yan Zu said earnestly.
Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Wu also stopped smiling and nodded vigorously: "I swear, I will never tell anyone!"
Yan Zu then took out two handwritten booklets from his storage soul tool—booklets he had spent several nights writing from memory.
The first book's cover reads: "Nine Yin Manual".
The second book is: "The Complete Guide to the Wind God's Leg".
Yan Zu slowly explained, "The Nine Yin Manual's Bone Forging Chapter is an internal energy cultivation method that can optimize the circulation of soul power and solidify the foundation; the Healing Chapter can accelerate the recovery of injuries; and the Wind God Leg is an external martial arts technique that, when combined with your Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, can unleash astonishing power."
Xiao Wu carefully took the booklet and turned to the first page.
The opening lines of the Nine Yin Manual state: "The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little..."
After reading just a few lines, she felt that the soul power within her body was beginning to circulate on its own.
"This...this is so precious..." Xiao Wu looked up, her big eyes filled with emotion. "Brother Azu, are you really willing to teach me?"
Yan Zu chuckled and ruffled her hair: "You're my little sister Wu, who else would I teach if not you?"
Xiao Wu's eyes reddened, and she rushed forward to hug Yan Zu tightly: "Brother Zu, you're so good... I will definitely protect you and Uncle Yan and Aunt Su from now on!"
