"Go on, eat!" Ke Chongbo held a stick-like item and teased several of the cubs. "This is tasty, really tasty!"
Little Tiger Baby squatted several meters away from him, licking its paw with a wary look, ready to flee at any moment.
Ke Chongbo tossed the beast feed stick over, "Try it, it's really tasty!"
Little Tiger Baby lowered its head and sniffed it, then actually opened its mouth and started eating.
Ke Chongbo immediately became happy.
It really worked!
That's right, this is a very tasty beast feed stick!
These things were literally piled up with spirit stones. One stick cost one low grade spirit stone.
It didn't look expensive, but his father's contracted beast, the Xuanling Azure Beast, would eat dozens at a time!
That's truly eating spirit stones!
If the Xuanling Azure Beast liked these beast feed sticks so much, other spirit beasts would definitely like them too.
See? Even Little Tiger Baby couldn't escape it!
Ke Chongbo had already started imagining the cute scene of it coming over to act spoiled and beg for food.
But just as this thought formed, Little Tiger Baby spat out the beast feed stick it had put in its mouth and kicked it away with one paw, looking extremely disgusted.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
That shouldn't be happening!
Oh right, maybe Little Tiger Baby just didn't like this flavor!
Ke Chongbo went to look for Little Sesame.
Little Sesame's reaction wasn't any better than Little Tiger Baby's.
It also took one or two bites, then lost interest and was immediately distracted by something else.
Ke Chongbo frowned deeply and went to find Ah Lang.
Ah Lang sniffed it and opened its mouth to eat the beast feed stick.
Before Ke Chongbo could be happy, Ah Lang spat the stick out again, snorted loudly, and showed a look of disdain.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
His face turned green.
This shouldn't be happening!
Such good beast feed sticks, how could they not like them?!
"What are you doing?" Qin Yiwei, who was walking by, asked curiously.
She knew about Ke Chongbo being rejected by the cubs and couldn't help getting curious when she saw him running around everywhere.
Ke Chongbo explained the whole situation, indignant, "…Such tasty beast feed sticks, and they don't even like them!"
Qin Yiwei looked at the item in his hand and gave him a new idea.
"Maybe they're still young. Why don't you give them to Da Yanzi and the others?"
Ke Chongbo's eyes immediately lit up, "Right! This is adult beast feed, maybe the cubs don't like it!"
Thinking of this, he immediately ran toward where Da Yanzi was.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten that his original goal was to placate the cubs.
Now he just wanted to prove a point, this beast feed is definitely tasty!
It's so expensive!
He excitedly found Da Yanzi.
Da Yanzi was sitting on the ground with its back against the spirit tea tree, a pile of bamboo by its side. It was crunching away at the bamboo, looking especially carefree and comfortable.
"Senior, there's something tasty here. Would you like to try it?" Ke Chongbo said respectfully.
Da Yanzi glanced at him and didn't move.
Ke Chongbo immediately obediently offered the beast feed stick.
Da Yanzi took it, sniffed it, saw no problem, and directly tossed it into its mouth.
Seeing it swallow it without spitting it out, Ke Chongbo was instantly thrilled.
As expected, only adult spirit beasts could appreciate the benefits of this beast feed!
The cubs just didn't understand how good it was yet!
After a while, the crack crack chewing sounds rang out again.
Ke Chongbo came back to his senses from his excitement and looked at the Iron-Eating Beast in confusion.
This reaction… wasn't it a bit too indifferent?
He remembered that every time the Xuanling Azure Beast ate these beast feeds, it was very happy and would absolutely not stop without eating many of them.
But the Iron-Eating Beast showed no desire to eat more at all.
Something wasn't right!
Ke Chongbo took out another beast feed stick and handed it over.
Da Yanzi accepted it, stuffed it into its mouth, and quickly finished it.
But after eating it, it went right back to eating bamboo, showing no craving at all.
This looked exactly like a scumbag—didn't refuse, but also didn't take initiative.
Ke Chongbo shook off this absurd thought and asked in confusion, "Senior, do you like eating these beast feed sticks?"
Da Yanzi continued munching on bamboo, giving him no response.
Clearly, it wasn't very interested.
"Moo~"
The Spotted Spirit Cow came over.
Ke Chongbo's eyes lit up. He took out a beast feed stick and handed it over, "Senior, would you like to try it?"
The Spotted Spirit Cow looked at the item in front of it and opened its mouth to eat it.
But after finishing it, its reaction was the same as the Iron-Eating Beast's. It didn't ask for more and instead walked toward the spirit tea tree.
"This…" Ke Chongbo was dumbfounded.
What's going on with these two?
Such indifferent reactions?
Were these beast feed sticks really that unpopular?
After hesitating for a moment, Ke Chongbo took out the… steamed buns Mu Shiyue had given him earlier.
They were called steamed buns, but he felt like they were some kind of weapon, on par with metal!
Would they really like something like this?
"Roar~"
Only when a shadow loomed over him did Ke Chongbo suddenly realize that the Iron-Eating Beast had somehow appeared in front of him!
When the Iron-Eating Beast stood up, it directly blocked all his light, bringing with it an overwhelming, sky-darkening sense of ferocity.
Ke Chongbo's face turned pale.
"Roar~"
Da Yanzi directly reached out, snatched the steamed bun from his hand, and tossed it into its mouth.
The crack crack chewing sounds snapped Ke Chongbo back to his senses.
He stared in shock at the Iron-Eating Beast, which was eating with great relish, his heart shaken.
"Ang!"
After quickly finishing one steamed bun, Da Yanzi's cry even became coquettish.
It stretched out its paw toward Ke Chongbo, the intention to beg for food was extremely obvious.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
He blankly took out another steamed bun.
Smack smack.
The Iron-Eating Beast stretched out its paw again.
Ke Chongbo: "..."
He came back to his senses and nervously smiled at it, "Sorry, there's no more. They're all gone."
No more?
Da Yanzi stared at him closely for a long time. Just as cold sweat was about to break out on Ke Chongbo's forehead, it finally turned around and left.
Ke Chongbo let out a long breath of relief.
Good heavens, the pressure of a fourth-rank spirit beast is really intense!
However, thinking about how much Da Yanzi liked the steamed buns, his brows furrowed again.
Then he went to look for Little Tiger Baby.
When it saw him coming, Little Tiger Baby immediately became alert.
Is he going to rub it until it puffed up again?
Ke Chongbo directly took out the steamed bun Mu Shiyue had given him, "Eat?"
Smelling the familiar fragrance, Little Tiger Baby immediately calmed down, its eyes fixed on the steamed bun. It quickly ran over.
"Aowoo~" it cried in a milky voice.
Ke Chongbo didn't do anything else and simply handed it over.
Then Little Tiger Baby immediately hugged the steamed bun and started munching away.
That eager appearance was in stark contrast to its earlier disdain.
Ke Chongbo then went to Little Sesame and Ah Lang. The two cubs had the same reaction to the steamed buns.
After that, he went to find the Spotted Spirit Cow.
Finally, he even went to look for the Soul-Devouring Tiger and the Black Abyss Falcon.
Without exception, they all preferred the steamed buns Mu Shiyue made and showed no enthusiasm at all for the beast feed sticks he brought out.
If there were some, they'd eat it. If not, forget it.
In the end, Ke Chongbo went to find Mu Shiyue, "Sect Master Mu, I want to buy some of the steamed buns you make!"
Mu Shiyue was stunned, "Buy them?!"
"Yes, I want to send some to my father."
