Chapter 585 - 287: Sandstorm
Hong Yi reminded, "Try pulling some grass to feed it and see if it eats."
Lin Wu casually plucked some grass nearby and held it up to the Black Horse’s mouth, which the Black Horse unceremoniously accepted. Lin Wu was not jumping for joy and asked, "Hong Yi, is an exclusive mount good or not?" He had a feeling it was a trap.
Hong Yi replied, "It’s good and not so good. From my perspective, not very good. According to the Horse Breeding Book, mounts have a hidden affection level. Chasing Wind is not an exclusive mount; even if I, who had the highest affection with it were to die, it would not revert to a wild horse but would accept Shuihua or Qinglang, who have the next highest affection, as its new masters."
"Additionally, once you have an exclusive mount, you cannot have other mounts. Even if you and Chasing Wind have the highest affection level, you cannot ride Chasing Wind, or it might break the master-servant relationship with you and return to the wild. It might even attack Chasing Wind." Hong Yi summarized, "From a personal standpoint, having a horse that’s extremely loyal to you is a good thing."
Lin Wu said, "In reality, it restricts me to do more things while binding itself to do less." He could have enjoyed romantic horse rides with his girlfriend, but this creature was refusing.
"That’s how it is. Horses are quite different from dogs; for example, you can’t entrust them with temporary guardianship. But as long as the master ties it up, it will always stay put." Hong Yi took out the Horse Breeding Book and flipped through it, "That’s right, an exclusive mount cannot be placed in temporary custody, and if you need to leave it, it’s best to leave it in a safe place." Chasing Wind, as a non-exclusive mount, does not need to be entrusted. If the person with the highest affection leaves, the next highest affection person will become Chasing Wind’s master.
Maya reached out to pet the Black Horse, but Hong Yi hurriedly said, "Don’t touch."
Maya withdrew her hand, asking, "Can’t I even touch it?"
