Chapter 986: Peak Master Lao Xu

At the Beast Taming Peak...

The Moon Goddess and her two sisters are escorted by the eldest disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, Fang Ji. Welcomed by the scene of an ancient mansion by the right side of the courtyard is a sleeping winged lion of Peak Indigo ranked spirit beast. There is also a shadow like black wolf guarding at the other side with the strength of late-stage Indigo ranked demonic beast. Others would be surprised seeing such high level beasts after all such ranked for spirit beasts are rare. However, not from big families like the Ancient Moon Clan.

In the Core Haven, Spirit Beasts are no different from livestock and people of that place only accept divine beasts as mounts and contracted beasts. So even indigo ranked spirit beasts were actually normal things in their eyes. They only thought it was cute and that’s all. Fang Ji actually noticed that and only introduced them briefly towards the white winged lion and black shadow wolf.

"These are the Master’s spirit beasts. A winged lion and a black shadow wolf. They were both indigo ranked," said Fang Ji.

"So cute~~" said Yue Ruxia.

The youngest moon princess, Yue Ruxia’s eyes glows upon seeing two spirit beasts and almost runs towards them as if it was almost instinct. However, before she could run away someone had grabbed the naughty princess at the back collar of her robes. She hanged like a cat that was about to steal food. Yue Ruxia raised her head only to meet her elder sister’s cold eyes and immediately deflated. That one gaze was a warning not to run around and be careless.

Pfft~

Seeing Yue Ruxia like this, Yue Jixia tried to hold back her laughs but still got caught by the youngest. Yue Ruxia glares at her second sister.

"Jie~, Erjie is laughing at me~," said Yue Ruxia.

The Moon Goddess let go of her younger sister and said, "Be good. We are about to meet the elder."

Fang Ji was amazed that the famous Twin Moon Princess of the Ancient Moon Clan seems to listen to the instructions of the Holy Saintess. Though he didn’t know how and when or what their relationship was, just based on this short interaction, the relationship of these three young ladies are definitely not simple at all. They are definitely closer than ordinary acquaintances or else why would a proud princess like Yue Ruxia be listening to the holy saint.

The Moon Goddess asked, "Do those beasts bite if someone hugs and rubs them?"

"Ah? Them... We can ask if they will agree?" Fang Ji said as he noticed the eyes of his future junior sister staring at him with anticipation. He can only bite the bullet and try asking.

With Fang Ji in lead, they first approached the Black Shadow Wolf, who immediately opened its eyes when it noticed them approaching. The Black Shadow Wolf was napping before they arrived, it immediately opened its eyes when it felt an overbearing presence that made him want to approach yet fear at the same time. Its violet eyes had landed on the figure of the Moon Goddess. Looking at her with both vigilance and reverence.

"Senior Black, this is our future disciple in our beast taming peak. Can you let her hug you for a bit?" Fang Ji whispered.

The Black Shadow Wolf moved to glance at this familiar looking human and then looked at the youngest among the group who was staring at him like she wanted to jump on him like a child. It wanted to decline and turn its head as a sign of rejection only to feel another sharp gaze falling on him. This gaze felt dangerous and it made the Black Shadow Wolf surrender. When it looked up it met the cold eyes of the Moon Goddess falling on him. It stiffens only for a moment before making its move.

On the other hand, Fang Ji thought that the senior spirit beasts didn’t agree and was about to explain to the Moon Princesses and the Holy Saintess.

"Shimei, sorry. It seems that they are not..."

Before Fang Ji could complete his words, the Black Shadow Wolf who was lying on the grassy patch just now had suddenly stood up. It walked slowly towards Yue Ruxia and carefully rubbed his head on the youngest moon princess’s hands. The moment the fluffy had entered the hands of Yue Ruxia, the latter had immediately jumped on the wolf and hugged it with the most peaceful expression on its face.

"Woa~ so soft! Sisters, its fur is as soft as clouds!" Yue Ruxia exclaimed.

The Second Moon Princess, Yue Jixia, didn’t believe her sister right away. After all, a wolf’s fur would never be soft in reality. So curious about it, Yue Jixia can’t help but reach out a hand as well. The soft and smooth feeling under her hands surprised the second moon princess. Only then did she believe that her youngest sister was not lying at all. So from one person hugging the black wolf it became two, then finally three as even the Moon Goddess had joined the fun. In the end, they had wasted so much time that the Peak Master, Elder Lao Xu, who was waiting for their arrival had to come out and find them himself.

When Peak Master Lao Xu came out of his own house, he noticed other people’s presence in his courtyard and went there to look and as expected his eldest disciple, his future youngest disciple, a moon princess and the holy saint were now gathered in one place. He also noticed the presence of his two tamed spirit beasts unexpectedly not fighting at all and instead lying on the grass belly up with three young ladies lying on them. As for his eldest disciple, he was being pinned by his own Spirit Crane. It seems to be stopping him from waking up the napping three ladies.

As he approached closer, the first one to react were actually the three spirit beasts. They collectively turned their heads to the direction where Peak Master Lao Xu was standing. Having three pairs of fierce eyes landing on him, Elder Lao Xu stopped for a moment.

Fang Ji said, "Master, save me~."

The voice of Fang Ji was enough to wake up the ladies. The Moon Goddess was the first one to open her eyes and realized that a Martial Uncle of her had arrived. She had forgotten about the fact that the Peak Master had called them over. She immediately woke up the two who were asleep with her and immediately greeted the elder.

"Disciple Yuelei greeted Martial Uncle Lao Xu," said the Moon Goddess.

Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia said, "We greet Peak Master Lao Xu!"

Elder Lao Xu accepted the greetings of the three disciples and was especially smiling at the Holy Saintess who had just given him a Divine Beast egg as a gift.

"Martial Niece Yue, welcome to my Beast Taming Peak. Though I haven’t hatched the egg you have given me, I’ve been taking good care of it. Would you like to visit it?" Peak Master Lao Xu said while smiling.

Fang Ji finally understood that the precious divine beast egg his master had brought back before was a gift from the Holy Saintess. This is the first time he had heard about this and never thought that the background of their Saintess was not simple at all. He had seen that Divine Beast egg and it was definitely not a low level beast. So the way to get this kind of beast egg was never simple. It might come from some hidden treasure land or ruins of some big family.

Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia who were listening to the conversation didn’t expect their elder sister to give away a beast egg to someone aside from their family. The Qilin Eggs brought home by their uncle the last time just recently hatched and they were all qilin with pure bloodline that excels in controlling lightning.

The Moon Goddess said, "We can see it together next time. I come here to send over your disciple, Martial Uncle Xu."

Only then did Peak Master Lao Xu recall the chosen disciple he had just asked his eldest disciple to pick. Who would have thought he would forget about her precious disciple because the holy saintess had come for a visit? Seeing the innocent eyes of the youngest moon princess, Elder Lao Xue felt a bit guilty.

Cough

"Of course, I didn’t forget! Disciple, what is your name?" Peak Master Lao Xu asked for the youngest moon princess. He asked her because he could feel his token was in her possession.

"Answering to the master, my name is Yue Ruxia. Nice to meet, Master," said Yue Ruxia. "Master, I like cute baby beasts. Can you give me some?"

When the Peak Master heard the family name ’Yue’, it wasn’t hard for him to recognize the young lady as the youngest moon princess of the Everlasting Moon Empire. He never expected that the one who would take his token would be someone from the Ancient Clans. The tokens of the seven peaks were given as rewards to some school tournaments and the disciple who can receive them meant they had won that certain competition that meets the criteria for each peak.
