"Mother!" She called out, and Su Yaogeng, upon seeing her, was almost in tears.
As soon as She got down from Youyou, Su Yaogeng grabbed her arm and looked her over from head to toe, her face full of concern.
She hurriedly said, "Mother, I’m fine, it’s just a few scratches from branches, it’s nothing!"
Though She did look somewhat disheveled, she was indeed not seriously injured. It was mostly just exhaustion and feeling weak all over.
"How can you say it’s nothing? Look at you now..." Su Yaogeng was heartbroken.
"Mother, Mother, I’m really fine. It’s just that I lost the horse, got lost, and was too tired from walking, so I rested nearby for a while. Then I encountered a pack of wolves, but luckily it saved me. Mother, can I take it back with me?" She said, stroking Youyou’s head.
Only then did Su Yaogeng notice the imposing Silver Wolf standing by She’s side, which was twice the size of a regular wolf and had Spiritual Energy swirling around it. Su Yaogeng was very surprised, yet Youyou was very obedient, letting She pet its head like a docile big dog.
Su Yaogeng knew that such a spiritual animal could understand human speech, even being smarter than many humans.
So Su Yaogeng didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked Youyou, "Do you like her? Do you want to stay by her side?"
If it were an ordinary beast, Su Yaogeng would never agree to let She keep such a dangerous wolf by her side, but this Silver Wolf was different. It had Spiritual Energy, likely with cultivation higher than hers. Having such a Spiritual Beast by Jing’er’s side, if it could protect her, would indeed be the best thing!
Many cultivators like to have spirit pets because good spirit pets can exhibit combat power even stronger than humans. However, taming spirit pets depends on fate, as spirit pets have intelligence not inferior to humans, making them not easily tamed.
Moreover, Spiritual Beasts are rare, and not everyone can encounter them.
Youyou could see the close relationship between She and Su Yaogeng. Hearing her question, Youyou nodded and even rubbed its head against She, indicating it really liked her.
Su Yaogeng was finally assured, smiled, and said to She, "From now on, keep it by your side, and if anyone troubles you, let it bite them! Let’s see who dares to mess with you!"
She felt speechless; it seemed her mother also saw that Youyou was a good help in fights!
"It’s cold here; let’s hurry back. Mu Jin and Dongbao are still searching elsewhere. I’ll send someone to find them and have them return quickly!" Su Yaogeng had brought only two people with her, while the others were still searching elsewhere. She moved faster, leaving them behind.
She nodded, "Alright, I’ll go back with you. Let them inform the others."
Su Yaogeng quickly instructed the two who came with her to notify the others, then led a horse over and mounted it. The horse she brought was quite scared of Youyou, refusing to go near it, and if not held by the two guards, it would have already run off.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard the sound of hooves. Soon, a group of people arrived, and their horses began to stir at the sight of Youyou.
"Are you all alright?" The newcomer was Han Si Que.
