Chapter 583 - 579: Talent
Food is an essential resource for Beastmen to survive.
Even if they don’t eat beast meat, everyone needs to eat some vegetables and grains to fill their stomachs.
If even these can’t be guaranteed, Beastmen will naturally fight with each other.
During these battles, many Beastmen inevitably die.
As a result, the Cang Beast Continent becomes increasingly chaotic.
After entering the space, Su Muyao discovered that the vegetables and grains she planted in the space were harvested batch after batch, with the nearby warehouse filled with food.
But even these foods taken out are useless.
Because it can’t fundamentally solve the problem.
Currently, the impact on the Mortal Beast Continent is relatively small, probably because the area invaded by darkness is small there, and there are fewer mutated plants and beasts.
The system spoke: "Host, wouldn’t it be great if Mei Qingchen became a Beast God now? He should possess Purification Power."
"Previously, the Moon Clan Chief also said that the Divine Domain originally had twelve Beast Gods, one of whom manages a Heaven and Earth Law that specializes in purifying resentment and resentful spirits in the world."
"Also, the Mei Family Master mentioned that his ancestor possessed the Power of World Purification, and because of helping purify some polluted areas in Cangxi Sea, the Dragon Clan Beastmen gave him some gifts in gratitude..."
The system mentioned these things to remind Su Muyao.
Su Muyao also knew that after fully awakening, Mei Qingchen’s true form is the Pure Lotus Golden Leopard.
And one of the twelve Beast Gods is the Pure Lotus Golden Leopard.
"I know, so I still have to find Mei Qingchen."
"Yes, help him become a Beast God. He controls the Rule Power to purify these atmospheres between heaven and earth, which makes beasts and plants return to normal. It’s more effective than anything you can do."
Su Muyao understood this point, "Mm, I don’t have much time left, better hurry back to the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan."
Xiao Jihan is still waiting for her at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan.
There’s also the child; she wants to see Da Bao.
Su Muyao really misses her Da Bao.
Additionally, she agreed with Wen Nanxi to meet at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan.
...
Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan
Xiao Jihan takes care of Da Bao meticulously every day.
He really misses his wife, but he suppresses this longing and love deep inside, focusing on taking care of Da Bao with love for all that reminds him of her.
Da Bao is very clever and sensible, requiring almost no effort to care for him.
Xiao Jihan likes to make various delicious dishes for him daily, adding milk powder to all kinds of food to ensure he eats well.
Today, Da Bao said he wanted dumplings, so Xiao Jihan personally cooked dumplings.
Da Bao also wanted to help, and Xiao Jihan taught him to roll the dough.
If possible, Xiao Jihan wouldn’t bear letting Da Bao do any work.
But he also believes that, as a male Beastman, learning more skills from a young age would benefit him.
Da Bao loves spending time with Xiao Jihan, feeling that even though his father isn’t great at expressing himself, he can feel his goodness.
The clan members always treat him cautiously, fearing he might get hurt.
He wants to practice cultivation, but the clan members think he’s still young and should learn theoretical knowledge first.
But Xiao’s father would seriously guide him.
When he enters the kitchen, Xiao Jihan would involve him in the tasks.
If the clan members saw this, they would probably be shocked to death.
They fear he would get injured or hurt.
He feels he’s not so fragile and feels quite helpless.
Even after emphasizing it with the elders, they still treat him with such caution.
Moreover, these elders are quite adept at changing expressions; they are strict with others but smile when facing him.
The elders assume they have a kindly smile, but he feels like making them smile seems challenging for them.
Xiao Jihan saw Da Bao’s face didn’t look very good and asked, "What’s wrong, are you unhappy?"
In the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, no one would allow Da Bao to suffer any grievances; everyone treats him like a treasure, afraid he might get hurt.
So Xiao Jihan wanted to know why he was unhappy.
"Xiao’s father, do people not dislike me?"
"How could they? Our Da Bao is so smart and adorable; everyone likes you, they can’t dislike you."
This is true, and Su Muyao left them at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan precisely because she saw this.
Da Bao said, "But I want to practice cultivation, the elders won’t teach me, only teach the most basic things, which I’ve already learned."
"And those little foxes, they seem quite scared of me."
This made Da Bao quite annoyed.
Xiao Jihan remained silent for a moment, then patted Da Bao’s head and said: "According to Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan’s rules, fox cubs can only cultivate after one year of age."
"Before one year of age, the young ones must be protected."
"Your talents are different from the clan members’. You could transform into human form from birth, while typically, even talented cubs in the Fox Clan need to wait until after one year to transform, so the leaders don’t know how to teach you and fear you might get hurt."
"They really like you, just don’t know how to express it."
Xiao Jihan could see that these elders were trying hard to be kind and friendly in front of Da Bao, but they’re inherently serious and not good at smiling, making them do this really puts them in a spot.
This made Da Bao feel they were being dismissive of him.
They were being overly cautious.
Xiao Jihan knows his wife and understands the responsibilities she faces.
He knows that since Da Bao has talents, teaching him cultivation is necessary to make him stronger and better protect himself.
Thus, Xiao Jihan approaches Da Bao with a normal mindset.
He also doesn’t want him to get tired, so daily rewards him with delicious food to balance work and rest.
"As for the young foxes in the clan, they have been instructed by their parents to respect you, not to be presumptuous in front of you. Hence, when interacting with you, they carry a fearful mindset."
From the moment Da Bao was born, the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan announced his identity as the future Clan Leader of the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, everyone’s little master.
He is also the child of the Fox God in the clan.
No one dared to act rashly before Da Bao, resulting in this situation.
Listening to Xiao Jihan’s words, Da Bao roughly understood what was going on.
He’s very intelligent; he understands the reasoning behind such statements in one go, and for the things he doesn’t grasp, he makes sense of them himself.
"Xiao’s father, will there be anyone who isn’t afraid of me and can play normally with me?"
Xiao Jihan said: "Of course, you will have many younger brothers and sisters later, they will play together with you."
"Actually, you even have a sister, although she’s still inside the egg. Once she’s born, you’ll have a chance to meet her."
Earlier, his wife mentioned to him that there was a Merfolk child with Wei Jinmo, just still inside the egg.
Hearing this, Da Bao’s eyes brightened, his heart filled with anticipation.
"I will be a good brother, and treat my sister well."
His sister must be very smart and adorable.
Da Bao imagined his sister’s appearance in his mind, feeling very happy.
He even couldn’t wait to see his sister.
Xiao Jihan wrapped up the dumplings, and Da Bao eagerly volunteered to start the fire.
"Xiao’s father, I will have better Fire Control now, the fire won’t go out of control."
Da Bao had True Sun Fire since birth.
It’s just that initially, he couldn’t control the fire well.
Later, Xiao Jihan taught him to start a fire while cooking.
Thus, Da Bao learned to control the flames, mastering the tempering of fire precisely.
This greatly aided his cultivation.
Once Xiao Jihan noticed he could control fire better, he took him to the valley to practice, teaching him to use True Sun Fire to fight and protect himself.
Seeing the flames in his hand, Xiao Jihan suddenly thought that perhaps he also possesses a talent for Alchemy.
