Chapter 600 - 276: Cola and Sprite! New Farm Companions! (Part 2)

"You’re leaving too?" Chen Yuan looked towards the leader of the Cold-Biting Oxen.

"Moo~"

The leader of the Cold-Biting Oxen gazed deeply and led a group of Cold-Biting Oxen down another path.

A misstep brought them to meet Chen Yuan and the others unexpectedly;

A snowstorm then allowed everyone to form a new bond with them.

At Pudaxue Mountain, stories between humans and Pet Beasts keep happening, but when the snowstorm recedes, everything will return to peace.

But beautiful encounters always happen; after one snowstorm, there will be another.

After bidding farewell to the Cold-Biting Oxen herd, four students also voiced their goodbyes.

While sheltering from the snowstorm in the cave, they once again issued a challenge to Chen Yuan and the others, only to be refused again.

Though they were filled with curiosity about Chen Yuan and the others, they clearly understood that in human interactions, one must maintain a sense of propriety; excessive disturbance equals harassment.

Thus, after a discussion, the four students decided not to continue traveling with Chen Yuan and the others.

As a result, the climbing team reverted back to Chen Yuan and the others plus a group of little ones, only now with an added Cola’s following tail.

"Orange, are you going to take it back to the farm?" Jiang Wenning looked at the Winter Dog following Cola enthusiastically and asked out of curiosity.

Chen Yuan mused out loud, "Not sure for now, let’s see how things go."

Looking ahead, he watched the Winter Dog frolicking in the snow with Cola and smiled slightly, "Perhaps this little one is just impulsively playful now, after all, it’s never experienced parental love since birth."

"Maybe its enthusiasm will fade soon."

"What if it doesn’t?" Jiang Wenning’s beautiful eyes flashed as she continued to ask.

"Hmm..." Chen Yuan pondered for a while and smiled lightly, "If not, then it means it has a connection with Cola, taking it back to the farm is fine."

After becoming an Association Consultant for the Qin Province Beastmaster Association, Chen Yuan had become quite wealthy and could fully afford the daily expenses of a group of Pet Beasts.

Not just one Winter Dog, even a herd wouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, their appetite can’t compare to the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, otherwise, even Chen Yuan would be overwhelmed.

"By the way," Chen Yuan suddenly brightened his eyes and muttered under his breath, "If this little one is really brought back to the farm, properly nurtured and trained, it could battle Zhuang Jianbai when he challenges me next."

Winter Dog versus Winter Dog, just thinking about it is interesting.

If Zhuang Jianbai’s Winter Dog doesn’t win against this little one, it’d only be more amusing.

But given Zhuang Jianbai’s current mental resilience, he should quickly come to terms with this harsh fact.

With these chaotic thoughts quickly passing through his mind, the group continued traversing the snow, steadily advancing toward the Snow Mountain Peak.

After a while, as dusk approached, specks of starlight spilled from the night sky.

"Let’s find a place to camp and rest first," Li Junyue glanced at the time and suggested.

The three had no objections, so they found a leeward slope to set up camp and lit a bonfire.

The cold wind howled, night descends into darkness, while bright flames reflected in their eyes.

Reaching the top of Pudaxue Mountain wasn’t particularly difficult, but the journey was rather lengthy, so they decided to rest here tonight and attempt the final ascent at dawn tomorrow.

If everything goes well, they might witness the spectacular sight of sunlight illuminating the mountain’s golden peaks.

Feeding Pet Beast Food to the little ones, the Winter Dog ate with great joy, burying its head into the bag filled with food, munching away rapidly while its wagging tail resembled a propeller.

The life of wild Pet Beasts is usually not very good, hence they are easily attracted by carefully made Pet Beast Food.

Chen Yuan even heard of companies developing enticing Pet Beast Food aimed at specific Pet Beasts. By placing this food where these beasts often appear, it draws them in to eat, allowing Beastmasters to enhance Favorability or capture them.

"Awoo..."

Seeing the Winter Dog’s worldly naive demeanor, Cola shook its head in helplessness while joyfully sipping the Cola that its master rewarded.

I’ll need to take this little brother out to eat more good stuff in the future, otherwise, it’ll disgrace the Puppy Team!

"Whimper..."

The Winter Dog ate too quickly and got choked accidentally, letting out a pained, childish cry.

Cola promptly nudged the bowl with Cola in it, signaling the Winter Dog to taste the most delicious drink in the world.

"Whimper..."

Winter Dog leaned forward to Cola, sniffed the scent carefully, then turned its head away disdainfully.

"Awoo!"

Seeing the Winter Dog’s reaction, Cola was infuriated, slamming its two paws onto the snow.

This is Cola!

My absolute favorite Cola!

As my little brother, you mustn’t speak ill of it!

Chen Yuan gently tapped Cola’s head with his finger, his tone slightly stern, "As the leader of the Puppy Team, you can’t be autocratic; that’s the dregs of the old era."

"Awoo..."

Cola lowered its head in grievance, letting out a whimper.

Chen Yuan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured it into a bowl, pushing it in front of the Winter Dog, "Try drinking this."

"Whimper?"

The Winter Dog sniffed the scent of the mineral water, yet turned its head unsatisfied, setting its gaze on the Sprite in Chen Yuan’s hand.

This is the drink famous alongside Cola—Sprite.

Drinking one after vigorous activity offers a refreshing sensation straight down the throat, spreading throughout the body.

Of course, this feeling often only occurs with the first sip.

"Do you want to drink this?"

Chen Yuan waved the Sprite in his hand, raising an eyebrow.

"Whimper!"

The Winter Dog stuck out its tongue, wagging its tail with eager frequency.

Chen Yuan’s expression turned odd, yet he poured Sprite into the bowl.

"Whimper whimper whimper!"

This time, the Winter Dog didn’t choose to refuse, stretching its head forward, licking the Sprite with its tongue, while its tail wagged wildly.

Jiang Wenning observed the Winter Dog’s every move from the side, resting her chin on one hand, her laughter crisp, "A Winter Dog that loves to drink Sprite, that’s quite rare."
