"Too cute!"
Looking at the black-and-white bear cub, Lu Wenjun's eyes lit up.
She was a Yao and had seen all kinds of little Yao cubs. Yao cubs were cute, and this spirit beast cub was also cute, each had its own kind of cuteness!
She couldn't resist reaching out and directly picked up Little Sesame.
"Oh my, so soft!"
The little ball of fluff was furry, and because it was young, its fur was especially soft. It felt so comfortable in her arms!
"Ying~"
Little Sesame was used to being held, so it let Lu Wenjun pick it up.
Seeing how obedient it was, Lu Wenjun's eyes grew even brighter.
Too cute!
How could there be such a cute little cub!
"That's Little Sesame," Jiang Yunnuan introduced, then pointed at the other two. "That's Little Tiger Baby, and that's Ta Xue."
"Ta Xue is Brother Zhen's contracted beast. Little Sesame and Little Tiger Baby's mothers are both here."
It was clearly just a few short sentences of introduction, but Lu Wenjun felt like her brain had been burned dry.
"Wait, I saw the big Iron-Eating Beast, but… there's also a big Soul-Devouring Tiger?!"
She stared at her fellow disciples in disbelief.
"Yes." Qin Yiwei nodded. "Senior Hu Niu didn't come out just now."
As long as there's no danger, Hu Niu generally wouldn't come out. She usually hid in her room eating and drinking.
Everyone had previously complained, not knowing when she would finish "confinement".
Little Tiger Baby was already over a month old, but judging from Hu Niu's posture, she seemed ready to stay in confinement until the end of time!
Maybe she would only come out after the chickens, ducks, and geese outside were almost eaten?
But those free-range spirit poultry were extremely fierce, and their growth speed was also extremely fast.
Perhaps by the time the previous batch of spirit poultry was eaten up, a new batch would grow again.
Whenever they talked about this, everyone couldn't help but sigh at how resilient those spirit poultry were, just like the spirit tea tree in the backyard that was growing sturdier and sturdier.
Previously, Ke Chongbo had been curious on how they raised them. After learning that those spirit poultry ate the left over dishwater Mu Shiyue made, he directly began doubting life.
Anyway, back to the point.
Hu Niu rarely showed herself.
So Lu Wenjun hadn't seen her earlier.
"Senior Hu Niu?" The corner of Lu Wenjun's mouth twitched. "Who thought of that name?"
"Master." Everyone looked as if it were only natural. "Master named them all."
Lu Wenjun: "..."
"A fourth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger?" she couldn't help asking.
"No, fifth-rank."
"Fifth-rank?!"
Lu Wenjun's eyes nearly popped out. She stared blankly at the little tiger cub in Chu Jingzhuo's hands and went numb, "It's so obedient?"
The little tiger cub's mother was a fifth-rank spirit beast. Shouldn't it be walking sideways here?
But it's too well-behaved, isn't it?
"It doesn't dare not listen. Master will deduct its snacks." Jiang Yunnuan laughed loudly.
"Deduct its snacks?" Lu Wenjun still felt like it was surreal. "Then its mother…"
"If its mother doesn't listen, master will deduct her snacks too."
Lu Wenjun: "..."
She understood all the individual parts, yet somehow didn't understand them.
For the first time, she doubted her own intelligence.
"Don't worry, you'll understand soon." Qin Yiwei patted her shoulder. "You've been gone for a while. It's normal not to understand everything at once."
"Ying~"
Little Sesame was already bouncing in Lu Wenjun's arms.
"It wants to go down?" Lu Wenjun made a motion to put it down.
"No." Qin Yiwei shook her head. "It wants food."
"Huh?"
Although Qin Yiwei didn't understand what the spirit beasts were saying, after interacting for so long, she could also guess the general meaning from their actions.
"It wants food from you," she explained again.
"Huh?" Lu Wenjun looked uncertainly at the little Iron-Eating Beast in her arms. "What does it want to eat?"
"It usually eats bamboo, fruit, and steamed buns."
"Steamed buns?"
"Yes, the steamed buns master makes."
"..."
Lu Wenjun had even more questions in her heart.
But she had no time to think about them, because Little Sesame began whining again.
"Ying!"
"Alright, alright, alright, I have something tasty here!" Lu Wenjun quickly took a fruit out of her storage bag.
It was a peach, with a very rich peach fragrance.
As soon as she took it out, Little Sesame's eyes instantly lit up.
"Yingying! Ying!"
Want to eat!
It even stretched out its paw to grab it.
"Here, here." Lu Wenjun hurriedly stuffed the peach into its paws.
Little Sesame hugged the peach and began munching on it, extremely happy, its voice even sounding a little sweeter.
As it bit into it, the peach's fragrance became even stronger.
"Yo yo~"
Ta Xue also called out, it wanted to eat too.
Lu Wenjun hesitated for a moment, then still took out another peach and handed it over.
"Ao wu~"
Little Tiger Baby started drooling too.
"Moo~"
Surrounded by cubs, Lu Wenjun hurriedly took out several fruits.
Even Xiao Qing received one.
After getting their fruit, the cubs found a place and began eating.
Lu Wenjun finally let out a sigh of relief.
"So many cubs are too scary!" She wiped a hand over her forehead.
Cubs were cute, but it's different when a whole group surrounded her, all calling out.
Jiang Yunnuan laughed, "You'll get used to it."
"Little Junior Sister, I also want to eat fruit." Meng Fanzé couldn't help saying after smelling the sweet fragrance in the air and watching the cubs eating so happily.
"I want some too." Qin Yiwei said as well.
The smell was too sweet.
Their sect had planted several kinds of fruit trees, but not peach trees.
"Wait." Lu Wenjun began rummaging through her storage bag again.
Soon, she took out a few peaches, "These are the last few."
She blushed a little, "These Moon Immortal Peaches are too delicious, I don't have many left."
They were her favorite fruit, she had specially brought some back from home this time.
But she had eaten quite a few on the way, and now only these were left.
After giving some to the cubs, there were even fewer.
"Peaches?" Mu Shiyue walked in, smelling the sweet fragrance, and was also very interested.
"Master."
Meeting master, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Lu Wenjun felt a little unfamiliar.
Especially after hearing what everyone had said earlier, the way she looked at master became even stranger.
Indeed, Master seemed… a little different from before.
But thinking of what they said about Grandmaster and Grandmaster's wife having perished, she also thought that master's changes were quite normal.
After all, she had suffered a major change in life.
"Master, please have one." Lu Wenjun handed over a peach.
Mu Shiyue accepted it without ceremony.
The peach's fragrance was really sweet.
She casually cleaned it and took a bite.
Then she nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, really delicious!"
The others also nodded repeatedly, "Really delicious!"
"Sweet and juicy, crisp and refreshing, so tasty!"
"Little Junior Sister, where did these peaches come from?"
Facing the question, Lu Wenjun's smile stiffened a little, "These… someone gave them to me."
She wasn't being stingy. It's just that these Moon Immortal Peaches were a product of the Yao Realm.
They couldn't be bought here.
"It's fine, aren't there seeds? We can plant them later," Mu Shiyue said.
"They won't grow here!" Lu Wenjun immediately shook her head.
