ACER-Chapter 46: Giving Rise to Cute-Pet Enthusiasts

“Waste spiritual root, waste bloodline.”

When Long Yanche’s aptitude was tested, Di Yange was very calm, because she had long known about the result.

But Nangong Zhi and the surrounding crowd found it a bit unbelievable.

Because they had never seen aptitude this poor before.

After all, no matter how poor one’s aptitude was, mixed spiritual roots and ordinary-grade bloodline were already the bottom line.

For waste spiritual root and waste bloodline to appear at the same time, this refreshed the bottom line of being a piece of trash.

So a person could actually be this useless.

Nangong Zhi immediately no longer had any hopes for Long Yanche.

But she still comforted him, “Ah Jin, actually, even if you don’t cultivate, that’s still pretty good. Living a plain and ordinary life as a normal person for a lifetime may not necessarily be a bad thing.”

“Thank you.”

Long Yanche sighed.

Actually, he had already been an ordinary person for more than ten years, so what was there to look forward to?

At this moment, Xiao Li in his arms nudged his hand with her little head. He knew that Xiao Li was also comforting him.

He carried Xiao Li and sat in the corner. While watching everyone discussing their cultivation insights in a chattering manner, he smoothed Xiao Li’s somewhat messy fur.

And Di Yange narrowed those pitch-black round eyes in satisfaction.

When the fur isn’t smooth, it feels uncomfortable.

And truly, this boy’s fur-brushing technique was very good, but unfortunately, days like this probably wouldn’t last much longer.

After all, once this fellow started cultivating in the future, how could he still have time to smooth out her fur?

Long Yanche watched everyone chattered about their cultivation insights, his eyes full of envy.

After watching for a while, he prepared to leave dejectedly.

At this moment, he didn’t even know where he should go.

No, he had already been bought by the Nangong Family as a slave, so even if he wanted to leave, it’s impossible.

Just as he was about to leave, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

The moment they saw Long Yanche’s face clearly, they obviously froze. One of them said, “Boy, I heard you’re a slave of the Nangong Family? I’m warning you, don’t cling to Third Young Lady. Don’t think that just because you raised a pet that even the Family Head likes, you can do whatever you want.”

Long Yanche had seen these people before. They had been in the training ground the whole time just now, pointing and whispering about him.

In their eyes, he was just a piece of useless trash with a strange appearance.

Long Yanche smiled bitterly. Before he could even open his mouth, Di Yange in his arms had already pounced over.

A white shadow flashed by, and the three people blocking Long Yanche had their faces clawed up by Di Yange.

Each of their faces had at least dozens of wounds added to them.

Not only Long Yanche, even those three people were somewhat dumbfounded.

Long Yanche immediately protected Di Yange in his arms.

And the other three people felt deeply aggrieved.

They’d only wanted to make trouble for Long Yanche, and really never wanted to trouble that beast.

The problem was that that beast was even actively provoking them with a contemptuous little look.

Who could endure such humiliation?

At least the leading person among the three couldn’t endure it.

However, just as he was about to charge at Di Yange, he was pulled back by the other two.

“Brother Yu, that little beast is deeply favored by the Family Head. If you beat it to death, the Family Head will blame us. Why don’t we go back first?”

The man called Brother Yu immediately glared fiercely at Long Yanche, his eyes full of jealousy and hatred toward him.

Why was it that they were both men, yet this fellow could look so stunning?

Fortunately, he was a waste. Sooner or later they would find a chance to kill him.

When Di Yange saw that the three of them were always looking at Long Yanche with ill intent, she immediately bristled again.

She was so small, weak, pitiful, and innocent. Why did these people not target her, and instead insist on targeting Long Yanche, this grown man?

So she rushed at the three people again and clawed at their faces until they were even more torn up.

Zhi!!!

After clawing at them, Di Yange even bared her teeth and brandished her claws arrogantly at them.

“Xiao Li, come back quickly.” Long Yanche rushed over and held her in his arms, helping her wipe her claws.

Yet the three people still didn’t spare Di Yange a single extra glance.

After glaring at Long Yanche, they directly left.

Di Yange was stunned from head to toe, could her presence really be this weak?

Forget it. As long as she stayed with Long Yanche the entire time, she didn’t believe it.

After all, this boy’s fate was full of hardships, following him would definitely bring bad luck.

So Di Yange rubbed his hand with her fluffy head, indicating that she needed her fur brushed.

Long Yanche was also very quick to understand.

He immediately began smoothing out her fur.

What a good villain, this fur-brushing technique was truly excellent. In the future, she would definitely cover for him.

While brushing her fur, Long Yanche looked at Di Yange with eyes full of determination.

In this world, only Xiao Li treated him the best.

Although Nangong Zhi had treated his wounds, the only one who would protect him like this was Xiao Li.

In the future, he would also protect her for a lifetime.

Di Yange shivered all over from that look. When she raised her head to look over, she just happened to fall into Long Yanche’s gentle eyes.

“…”

She understood this look. For such a cute pet like her, which pet owner wouldn’t like her?

It seemed that Long Yanche was also a veteran cute-pet enthusiast.

…

In the dead of night, Di Yange secretly slipped out again.

The moment she slipped out, Long Yanche woke up.

Looking at her lively departing figure, he only smiled indulgently.

Perhaps staying in the Absolute Forbidden Land would give a spirit beast like her a better life, yet she was willing to stay in a place like this for his sake.

After Di Yange slipped out, she discovered that the guards here had evidently become more numerous, and when these guards saw her, they directly ignored her no matter what she did.

After sneaking around for a while, Di Yange found it a bit boring.

Just as she was about to go back, she discovered that she had once again appeared by the pool where she transformed last time.

By chance, Nangong Ruoling walked over, preoccupied with worries.

That appearance of a young girl thinking of spring, it was obvious that she was in love at one glance.

Tsk, she was definitely in love with that annoying Xiao Jue, carrying the sour smell of love.

Just as Di Yange was about to dash away and leave, Nangong Ruoling saw her and immediately spoke, “Xiao Li, why are you here? Right, have you seen a white-haired boy here? He…”

As she spoke, she felt like she had become possessed.

It was just a boy who had the seductive appearance of a demonic spirit, what did she want him for?

Even if she found him, he was still so young, what could she do?

Helplessly, she looked at Di Yange’s smooth white fur and the tuft of purple fur on her forehead.

She couldn’t help linking the two together.

Because it was too coincidental. Both had a patch of purple, and both were all white.

“You… are you him…”

Di Yange let out a zhi sound and ran extremely fast.

Watching a white shadow flash past, Nangong Ruoling sighed helplessly.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

Not long after Di Yange ran off, she suddenly smelled a detestable scent.

She crashed into a person head-on.

This person’s scent was very familiar.

“Zhi!!!”

It was actually Xiao Jue.

What an unlucky day to go out.

What was Xiao Jue still doing here?

Thinking of how badly this fellow had screwed her over, her good mood vanished completely.

So she turned and ran.

She was very fast like a puff of smoke and instantly vanished, leaving behind an angry Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue glared at the little white-eyed wolf, but didn’t chase after her. Instead, he was busy handling his important business.

After Di Yange returned, she lived through two days of peace and calm.

Being able to feel that her injuries had recovered a bit more, she was about to mentally collapse .

So she could only place her hopes on Long Yanche.

She remembered that merely awakening the dragon clan bloodline would require him to go through many hardships, hovering on the edge of life and death.

So when exactly did he recover the dragon clan bloodline?

That, she wasn’t too clear about.

Several days later, Nangong Zhi came in a panic to find Long Yanche.

Looking at Long Yanche, dazzling and moving, holding a little white milk puppy and brushing its fur, while the little milk puppy narrowed its eyes in enjoyment, the person and beast gave off a feeling of years being peaceful and calm.

For a moment, Nangong Zhi actually didn’t want to break this tranquility.

However, she still told Long Yanche that the head of the Nangong Family wanted him and Xiao Li to go out together.

After Long Yanche heard this, he only nodded helplessly.

“Ah Jin, I heard that this trip may be to explore some kind of tomb, and it is said to be very dangerous. My father wouldn’t even let Elder Sister and me go, why does he insist on bringing you and Xiao Li along?”
