AMSSO-Chapter 60: This Is an Ancestor, Right?

Mu Shiyue was a little angry.

Although these chickens, ducks, and geese were spirit fowl, they weren’t much different from ordinary livestock, they all had the same straight bowels!

Sure enough, when frightened by the Soul-Devouring Tiger, they immediately defecated.

The originally clean ground also became filthy.

Mu Shiyue wasn’t an especially fastidious person, but seeing so much dung lying around was really unpleasant!

She could clean it herself, but that would either consume her energy or her spiritual power.

Neither option was something she wanted.

As for her disciples, they were all busy with their own matters.

As a master, how could she let them toil away?

Besides, this was caused by the Soul-Devouring Tiger, so it should clean it up itself!

After all, all these spirit fowl were what Hu Niu demanded!

“You clean this place up for me. I don’t want to see this dung here!” Mu Shiyue said coldly to Hu Niu. “If I have to clean it up myself, don’t blame me for adding it into your food!”

“Roar!” Hu Niu’s pupils trembled violently. How could that be?!

That threat was too terrifying!

“Woo woo~” It whimpered and hurriedly drove its spiritual power.

In the next second, a small whirlwind appeared, directly sweeping the scattered dung into a pile.

Very quickly, the waste was blown aside.

The fleeing spirit fowl were also swept to one side.

Hu Niu then used its spiritual power to erect a wall there, trapping the spirit fowl inside.

The spirit fowl let out terrified cries, but under its pressure they quickly fell silent.

Seeing this series of actions, Mu Shiyue’s expression finally returned to normal.

“Very good. Well done.”

“Woo~” Upon being praised, the Soul-Devouring Tiger immediately perked up, its tail wagging a few times in excitement.

Bang!

Crash!

Everyone’s gaze fell to its tail.

A pile of bricks and stones was scattered there.

Ke Chongbo’s eyes widened, nearly in tears, “I just finished building that wall!”

He had spent quite a bit of effort stacking those walls!

It wasn’t like he was a professional bricklayer!

Hu Niu turned around, its eyes instantly guilty, neck shrinking back.

Wen Yan and the others were dumbstruck watching its expression change.

If they didn’t know for certain that this was a Soul-Devouring Tiger, they would’ve thought it was just some dog that had made trouble!

Wen Yan’s gaze toward Mu Shiyue grew even more serious.

Could she have misjudged?

This young woman wasn’t actually a little girl, but an old cucumber painted fresh green?

After reaching Nascent Soul, many people would reshape their appearance, making themselves look young again.

Of course, some thought being too young lacked authority, so they kept their older appearance.

Others, with odd tastes, would even reshape into a child’s body.

Fortunately, with each major realm, one could change their appearance again. Otherwise, those eccentrics would be stuck as children for life.

Thus, by appearance alone, one could not judge a person’s true age.

Wen Yan had previously thought Mu Shiyue was just a girl in her twenties. But seeing how she handled the Soul-Devouring Tiger, Wen Yan began to hesitate.

What twenty-something year old girl could make a Spirit Severing Stage Soul-Devouring Tiger this obedient?

spirit beasts were innately proud.

Even if they formed contracts with humans, that didn’t mean they would completely obey.

On the contrary, they were usually masters whom their handlers had to coax and serve.

At least in all of Wen Yan’s long years of experience, she had never seen anything like this!

For Hu Niu to be this obedient, Mu Shiyue’s strength must be far beyond it!

Beyond Spirit Severing Stage… wouldn’t that mean—she was a Soul Transformation Ancestor?!

At this thought, Wen Yan’s pupils shrank, her expression tightening.

Her gaze toward this place completely changed.

This place looked very simple and crude, even less impressive than her own courtyard.

The walls were freshly built—apparently by her foolish son.

At first glance it looked terribly shabby.

But after witnessing Mu Shiyue’s interaction with the Soul-Devouring Tiger, Wen Yan’s opinion shifted.

This was clearly a great expert living in seclusion!

And this place was right by the Myriad Beasts Forest!

It’s only a few hundred meters away.

Without some powerful reliance or life-saving ability, who would choose to live here?

That would be courting death!

This was absolutely a case of supreme skill giving supreme courage!

Wen Yan quickly ran her mind, trying to deduce Mu Shiyue’s identity.

In her view, Mu Shiyue had to be some great ancestor of a major sect, hiding here for leisure.

But the world had too many cultivators and too many sects, she couldn’t possibly know them all.

For the moment, she couldn’t figure out Mu Shiyue’s identity.

“Ying!”

While Wen Yan was deep in thought, a tender cry sounded.

Everyone turned their heads to see a black-and-white little spirit beast coming out of a room.

The threshold was a bit high, making it awkward for it.

Using all four limbs, it scrambled up, crying “ying ying” as if to cheer itself on.

Once it climbed up, it got stuck.

It immediately cried out, stretching its paw toward Mu Shiyue for help.

But before Mu Shiyue could go over, it lost its balance and toppled forward.

“Ying!”

“Ow!”

“Ah!”

“Hiss!”

Everyone couldn’t resist groaning in sympathy, their expressions contorted.

The little dumpling rolled forward twice, finally stopping, dizzy and dazed.

“Ying~”

The little dumpling sprawled flat on the ground like a pancake, pitifully looking up and letting out a soft, aggrieved cry.

“Ai ya, my little baby!”

Mu Shiyue, half laughing and half crying, quickly stepped forward. She picked it up with one hand and cast a cleansing spell.

The little dumpling was immediately clean again, a fresh fluffy cub!

“Ying!~”

Little Sesame clung pitifully to Mu Shiyue’s arm, voicing its grievances.

It had just been sleeping in the room with her.

When it woke up and didn’t see Mu Shiyue, it immediately panicked.

And before it could find her, it fell flat on its face.

It didn’t hurt, but it was so unfair!

“There, there, it’s okay~” Mu Shiyue cradled it, swaying and patting like soothing a baby.

This scene made Wen Yan and the others’ eyes nearly pop out.

That’s actually an Iron-Eating Beast cub!

A cub that’s only a few months old!

What kind of person was this?!

It was one thing to raise a fifth-rank Soul-Devouring Tiger, but to also raise an Iron-Eating Beast cub?!

Is she a beast tamer?!

Hu Niu watched the scene, extremely displeased. It glared wide-eyed at Little Sesame.

Both had dirtied themselves, why did this little cub get Mu Shiyue’s help to get cleaned?

“Ying!”

Just woken up and still groggy, plus dizzy from falling, Little Sesame flinched at its glare.

Mu Shiyue hurriedly patted it, then glared at Hu Niu. “You’re such a big tiger, bullying a little kid, don’t you feel ashamed?!”

Hu Niu just loved secretly picking on Little Sesame.

“Roar~!”

Hu Niu tilted its head innocently, as if to say, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. I didn’t do anything! Don’t wrongly accuse me!

Wen Yan and the others: “…”

Dear heavens!

There’s a Soul-Devouring Tiger that would pretend to be innocent!
