Chapter 588 - 584: Vibrant Vitality
Upon hearing these words, Da Bao immediately showed an excited and expectant expression.
Su Muyao also wanted to see Xiao Jihan perform the Beast Taming Technique.
She said, "Alright, let’s go together."
Seeing Da Bao covered in snow, Su Muyao said, "Let’s get Da Bao changed first."
Su Muyao took Da Bao inside, found a new set of clothes, and helped him change into them.
At first, Da Bao was a bit shy, his face turning a bit red.
Su Muyao looked at his flushed cheeks, which looked like an apple, very cute, making her want to take a bite.
But she restrained herself.
Right now, Da Bao probably wasn’t familiar with her yet, so she couldn’t scare him.
Da Bao stood obediently, not moving a muscle, letting his mother help him change clothes.
He felt his mother was so gentle, making his heart feel warm.
He dared not move around, afraid his mother would think he was disobedient and senseless.
Once Su Muyao finished dressing Da Bao, she thought he looked even cuter and more adorable.
She picked him up, "Let’s go, we’re setting off."
Xiao Jihan watched this scene, his eyes filled with a gentle glow.
When they arrived deep in the North Mountain Forest, they saw many wild beasts along the way.
Su Muyao said, "The beasts here haven’t mutated."
Xiao Jihan explained, "This area is within the Qingqiu Mountain territory, with an outer Barrier blocking it, preventing much of the Dark Aura from entering. Therefore, there are few Spirit Plants and beasts affected."
"Usually, everyone hunts in the outer forests; the various forests within Qingqiu Mountain’s territory are the clan’s last sanctuary."
So generally, people don’t come here to hunt.
The Qingqiu Mountain territory is vast, with many forests, plants, and beasts, making it a relatively safe place to live.
Xiao Jihan did not plan to hunt, just wanted to test the Beast Taming Technique.
He also hoped his wife could stay here for a while to rest, relax, and not always be busy and on the move.
It pained him to see her like that.
While talking, Xiao Jihan saw a ferocious wild beast. He quickly formed a spell with his hands, using his superpower, as if invisible threads wrapped around the beast.
The fierce beast, which had initially charged aggressively to attack them, suddenly became docile, laying quietly beside Xiao Jihan’s legs.
Su Muyao felt she had witnessed something incredible, "It really works."
"The Beast Taming Technique is so effective. In the future, if we encounter fierce beasts when we go out, we won’t need to fight; we can just use the Beast Taming Technique."
Unfortunately, only Xiao Jihan could use such a handy Beast Taming Technique.
"That’s right."
After trying it out, Xiao Jihan felt like he had a handle on it.
For him, controlling a few beasts was very easy.
To control more beasts, he would need to enhance his strength.
At this moment, another wild beast attacked. Xiao Jihan controlled the ferocious beast to fight but used his Divine Soul to control its Beast Soul, letting it know not to kill the opponent.
This ferocious beast obeyed and went to fight but didn’t use its full strength.
Later, Xiao Jihan stopped both beasts from fighting further.
When the Beast Taming Technique is cultivated to Great Divine Power Perfection, it is a realm only the Beast God can achieve. At that time, it can control the rules of the entire mountain forest beasts, maintaining balance in their numbers.
However, Xiao Jihan is far from being able to achieve such a realm now.
He can only exert the power of the first level of the Beast Taming Technique.
Xiao Jihan also found a pretty little white beast in the forest to be Da Bao’s pet.
Xiao Jihan used the Beast Taming Technique to form a Beast Contract between Da Bao and the little beast, so it would not harm Da Bao, and could protect him once its strength improved.
Da Bao really liked the little beast. When he spoke, the little beast could understand, "Xiao’s father is amazing."
Su Muyao was also somewhat shocked, surprised it could be done this way.
She exclaimed, "Your Beast Taming Technique can even impart a Beast Contract?"
Xiao Jihan nodded, "Yes, but my current strength is insufficient, so I can only use it on small beasts like this. For those large fierce beasts, it’s impossible to use."
"This is already very impressive."
If she hadn’t seen Xiao Jihan use the Beast Taming Technique herself, she couldn’t have imagined that the Beast World had such capabilities.
It also broadened her horizons.
The system said, "Host, if you form a Contract with Xiao Jihan, it could help him quickly enhance his strength."
Listening to the system, Su Muyao thought of Wei Jinmo.
After forming a Contract with Wei Jinmo, the Sea God’s Ascension Road was opened.
Thus, she wondered if forming a Contract with Xiao Jihan at this moment could also allow him to enter the Ascension Road.
She felt reluctant as it would mean they quickly become gods, but reason told her that for the Beast World, for the survival of the beastmen, they needed to ascend, enter the Divine Domain, and restore the laws governing the Beast World.
Thus, it wasn’t just her responsibility; it concerned the entire Beast World.
Su Muyao communicated with the system through her mind, "Let’s wait a few days to discuss it."
Anyway, she planned to rest for a while at the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan and spend time with Da Bao.
Seeing the increasing snow, Xiao Jihan said, "The snow is getting heavier, let’s head back first."
"Okay."
The three quickly returned to their residence.
The Great Elder and others had already learned of Su Muyao’s return, and everyone was waiting at the door.
"Greetings, Miss Su."
"Greetings to the Clan Leader and Young Master Xiao."
Everyone greeted Su Muyao respectfully.
Su Muyao didn’t expect to alarm the elders, "There’s no need for such formality, thank you all for taking care of Da Bao during this time."
The Great Elder and others were humbled, "It’s our duty, as he is our clan leader."
Da Bao’s talent filled them with hope for the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan’s future, believing they could surely return to their glorious days.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Muyao initially wanted them to return but, seeing the injuries and old ailments on some of them, went with everyone to the Fox King’s Council Hall.
The hall’s large space allowed everyone to sit down.
Su Muyao said, "Everyone, sit cross-legged, and I will heal your wounds."
The elders, startled, eager with excitement due to Su Muyao’s capabilities, quickly sat cross-legged as she advised.
Once everyone was ready, Su Muyao activated her Wood Element Ability, releasing her Level 29 Wood Element Ability all at once.
Previously, Su Muyao had a Level 28 Ability, but it was enhanced by one level after forming a Contract with Wei Jinmo.
The system said that the stronger one gets, the slower the progress, thus achieving an additional level was impressive.
In the council hall, as the elders sat cross-legged, operating their channels, their complexions were poor; some had stagnant auras.
Not long ago, while rescuing clan members, they encountered Insect Clan experts.
The Insect Clan was constantly evolving their Secret Techniques, and the elders received varying degrees of severe injuries, with some having ruptured meridians and others with damaged inner organs.
Fortunately, before Su Muyao left the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, she gave them some elixirs.
Those elixirs were life-saving during critical times, enabling the elders and the rescued clan members to survive well.
Everyone felt thankful and respected Su Muyao.
They were grateful that Clan Leader Hua Linye had found such a good wife master.
Of course, the Great Elder and others hadn’t gone out, but had residual old ailments. Though seemingly harmless, they effectively hindered their cultivation pace.
Whenever they tried to advance their power levels, they easily got stuck at a certain phase of strength.
If their old ailments could be healed, their strengths would naturally improve.
Su Muyao, unaware of their thoughts, focused her ability, surrounding her with gentle green light — as fresh as spring sprouts, full of vitality.
In the next moment, countless delicate green strands of light flowed from her palms, intertwining into a huge green light net, gradually enveloping all the elders in the hall.
