“Mom, we are doing all these to ensure a better future!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled beautifully at her mother.
“Haha, you are right!” Thinking about the days to come, Mrs. Cheng also put up a happy smile. “Oh, by the way, Xiao Xiao, I almost forgot to ask you. Didn’t you say the villagers will be heading out of the village today? What kind of arrangements have you made? Will that cause any trouble?”
“Mom, I have already assigned that to Yuteng. Don’t worry, it will be fine!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao has already had the discussion with little Yuteng the night before. Yuteng will be commanding the mystical beasts, large and small, to hide along the mountainous roads and observe the villages and surveil for intruders. If any villagers is harassed, the mystical beasts will appear and help out.
Little Yuteng had been bored out of her mind lately. After accepting the assignment, she happily left with the mystical beasts to have some fun.
Mrs. Cheng knew that little Yuteng was a very capable fairy. She was much less worried now that she knew Yuteng was out there protecting the villagers.
“Mom, where’s Lan Lan?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised that the naughty Lan Lan was not around to be seen.
“That little hoyden? She went with Zheng Yuan and Zheng Bin on their surveillance duties!” complained Mrs. Cheng with a smile, but her love for her children was unmistakable from her look.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled also, “Then let her go play. They can’t study right now anyway. She should take this opportunity to have some fun!”
“That’s too much playing!” said Mrs. Cheng, but she also understood that their current environment wasn’t conducive to the kid’s studying and learning, might as well let them have some fun.
“They should have fun in their childhood!”
“Nonsense, they need to study too!”
Both the mother and daughter’s faces were filled with slight smiles. They chatted softly while gazing through the courtyard at all the busy silhouettes in a distance and looking forward to the elegant environment that would soon be done. All the graceful buildings that they could soon call home.
“Young mistress, we have a situation!”
Suddenly she heard little Yuteng’s voice. Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up right away and said, “Mom, you stay home, I will be back shortly.”
Then, before Mrs. Cheng could respond, she was already out of the courtyard. The abruptness caught Mrs. Cheng in surprise.
“This kid, what’s with the urgency? I hope everything is alright!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not stay long enough to hear her mother’s words. Soon as she was outside the house, a red fiery lion appeared out of nowhere. Cheng Xiao Xiao mounted the lion and told it to take off.
Innkeeper Zhu, who was instructing the servants, just happen to witness that. When he saw the appearance of the fiery lion, he was shocked speechless.
Since when did level three mystical beast became so worthless and would just appear on demand?
Everybody on this continent understand the ranking of magical beasts, for the most part they were divided into: regular vicious beast, mystical beast, sacred beast, immortal beast, and godly beast. But the residents here have only seen the regular vicious beasts and mystical beasts. Sacred beasts and immortal beasts exist only in folklore; as for godly beasts, those only existed in old text scrolls, it has been tens and thousands of years since they were last seen.
Vicious beasts evolve into mystical beasts, any vicious beast that cultivate would be considered as mystical beasts. Once they become mystical beasts, they further divide into 9 levels. Levels 1-3 are junior mystical beasts, 4-6 are mid-level mystical beasts, 7-9 are apex mystical beast. Mystical beasts that exceed the apex level would become sacred beasts.
Sacred beasts become immortal beasts in similar fashion. According to the legend, once a immortal beast becomes a godly beast, it would be able to resume a human form. Nobody on this continent has yet to witness a godly beast in it’s human form.
