Cheng Zheng Yuan let out a long breathe and said determinedly,
“Big sister, let’s work becoming the most powerful and special individuals!”
“Ho ho ho….,” laughed Chang Xiao Xiao happily and asked again, “Of
course, we will be the strongest!”
Casting a glance at him, she suddenly thought of something, “Zheng
Yuan, what kind of beast do you like?”
“Beast?” Asked Cheng Zheng Yuan, perplexed.
“Yes, what do you like? Wolf? Tiger? Lion? Just don’t ask for azure
dragon, white tiger, black tortoise (“xuanwu”), vermilion bird1,
kirin, or giant eagle. Those I don’t have!”

rendition / interpretation of what they look like. Hope this will help give you
an idea of what a kirin looks like. J)

Well, it wasn’t that they didn’t exist, but the dimension haven’t
leveled up enough. She couldn’t quite produce them just yet.
“Big sister, what do you mean?” Cheng Zheng Yuan still didn’t know
what her intention was.
Cheng Xiao Xiao patted him on his shoulder, “Zheng Yuan, never
mind why I ask, just tell me what you like the best right now?”
“Wolf? Tiger? Lion?” Cheng Zheng Yuan mumbled to himself, then
with the most seriously tone, he said, “Big sister, I like wolves!”
“Wolf? Okay!”
She had already collected and tamed an azure wolf a while back.
Smiling, she said, “Zheng Yuan, you know, there will be turmoil coming our way
shortly. So I am going to give you an azure wolf for a pet!”
“WHAT?”
Cheng Zheng Yuan shouted out uncontrollably. But before he could
say anything else, a flash appeared next to his sister and a gigantic,
ferocious azure wolf now stood in front of him.
“This…”
He was stunned. The azure wolf eyed his new master with disgruntlement.
The azure wolf and his young mistress could communicate
telepathically, he knew full well that he has been gifted to the rug rat in
front of him. He wasn’t pleased with that decision, but also knew that how he
felt was irrelevant.
“Zheng Yuan, to tell you the truth. I am a beast tamer!” Cheng
Xiao Xiao chuckled at the dumbfounded look on her brother.
“Tame… tame…. Big sister, you said you are a beast tamer?” Cheng
Zheng Yuan couldn’t quite comprehend what he had just heard.
How did he now know when the sister that he grew up with had
became so powerful? He had no idea. And she’s a beast tamer?
“That’s right. I am a beast tamer!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao continued to ask, “What, don’t you believe me?
Hasn’t the appearance of the azure wolf convinced you of that? Xiao Ching2,
go to your new master!”
“That.. that’s not what I meant!” Cheng Zheng Yuan shook his head,
then turned and looked at the azure wolf. He knew his sister wasn’t lying to
him.
But this surprise was too huge! He couldn’t quite process that
just yet! He knew there were azure wolves in the hidden parts of the mountains.
He had hunted one before when he went he went hunting with his father in the
past, but that one was much smaller than this one in size.
“Big sister, thank you so much!” Cheng Zheng Yuan calmed down and
accepted his gift and thanked his sister gratefully.
“You are welcome. Having this king of all wolves, I am also going
to delegate to you the responsibilities of taking care of the entire clan of wolves.
I trust that you will do a good job project our place, right?”
“Yes!” He replied decisively.
“Good, take the azure wolf for walks whenever you have free time
and guard our land. I think we are expecting quite a few visitors shortly!”
“Big sister, I understand. I will do a good job and not disappoint
you!”
“Okay, I am putting my trust in you!”
