JSCMU-Chapter 63: Miracle Reappears

“Shall we go to a smaller room to do the treatment?” Ling Fei confirmed once again.

The Iron-Eating Beast glanced at Yun Jin, then shyly nodded its head.

Ling Fei couldn’t help but give Yun Jin an astonishment.

Did this girl truly sense the Iron-Eating Beast’s thoughts?

This was…

This was simply a natural-born beast-taming genius!

There were too many tasks to complete, so Ling Fei didn’t have time to ask more questions, but the way he viewed Yun Jin completely changed.

Once he calmed these spirit beasts down, he would definitely ask how Yun Jin understood them.

Inside the small room, the Iron-Eating Beast became very cooperative.

Ling Fei’s acupuncture healing technique was extremely precise and he quickly treated its internal injuries. The little Iron-Eating Beast happily rubbed against Ling Fei, showing a content expression.

Ling Fei looked at it gently and patted its head. “All right, go rest well.”

The Iron-Eating Beast obediently nodded its head.

Yun Jin had watched the whole process and felt even more admiration for this old man.

He had truly devoted his whole life to these spirit beasts. Every single beast here saw him as family and relied on him deeply. For this old man, that was probably the best reward.

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer, I still have other spirit beasts to treat,” Ling Fei said apologetically after settling the Iron-Eating Beast. “If you don’t want to wait, you can come back tomorrow. I’ll be here all day waiting for you.”

“Senior Ling,” Yun Jin took the initiative to say, “I think I can vaguely sense some emotions from the spirit beasts. Maybe I can help. Please let me accompany you.”

The look in Ling Fei’s eyes shifted slightly.

If Yun Jin said this right from the start, he wouldn’t have believed a single word.

After all, the talent for communicating with spirit beasts is incredibly rare. Even if one had it, they need constant training and refinement to truly be able to communicate with spirit beasts.

Yun Jin is a new disciple. Before today, she had no way of interacting with spirit beasts. If she suddenly said she could communicate with them, wasn’t that just nonsense?

But with the example of the Iron-Eating Beast in front of him, Ling Fei thought for a moment, then nodded. “Very well, you may follow me.”

He brought Yun Jin to the next group of spirit beasts.

It was a group of five Brightlight Beasts.

All five had more or less sustained injuries. At the moment, they were quietly licking their wounds.

Ling Fei sensed their emotional states. Overall, the group’s emotions were fairly stable, except for the smallest one, who seemed a little depressed.

Ling Fei began treating the stable Brightlight Beasts first while gently trying to soothe the little one’s emotions with spiritual energy.

Yun Jin looked at the small Brightlight Beast curled up in the corner, her expression shifting slightly.

The group of Brightlight Beasts was chatting, and their words were clearly heard in her ears.

“Hah, little sister, don’t be sad. That Lightning Beast isn’t worthy of you!”

“Exactly! There are so many spirit beasts here. With your beauty, you could get anyone you want!”

“It’s just a Lightning Beast. So what if he looks powerful and imposing? So what if his attributes match ours? I’m saying this now, our little sister doesn’t need him!”

“Right! She’ll definitely find someone better.”

The little Brightlight Beast spoke weakly, “Someone better? Like who?”

The Brightlight Beasts suddenly all fell silent.

The little one sniffled and almost burst into tears.

Wuwuwu… so the Lightning Beast really was the best.

Ling Fei glanced at the little Brightlight Beast, stunned by her sudden sadness…

Was this the famous “a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea”?

Even female spirit beasts are like this?

Ling Fei tried to comfort her, but to no avail. For now, he could only proceed with treating the little Brightlight Beast’s injuries.

Its wounds weren’t severe, and once treated, they visibly improved. But its mood remained extremely downcast.

Ling Fei couldn’t help but feel a little troubled.

Suddenly, something came to mind. He asked Yun Jin, “Xiao Jin, perhaps you can sense something?”

The moment he spoke, he let out a bitter laugh.

He really was grasping at straws in desperation.

Yun Jin being able to guess the Iron-Eating Beast’s thoughts was already a miracle.

How could he expect her to replicate that miracle?

Yun Jin smiled and said, “Senior Ling, I’m not certain yet, but I’d like to ask if there are any Lightning Beasts in this area?”

Eh?

The little Brightlight Beast immediately looked up at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin winked at her.

The little Brightlight Beast quickly lowered her head in embarrassment.

Ling Fei was a bit surprised at Yun Jin’s sudden question but replied, “I only have one Lightning Beast, but it’s at the Foundation Establishment Stage and normally isn’t in this area.”

“Oh?” Yun Jin looked surprised. “Then when did this little Brightlight Beast see it?”

“How did you know they’ve met?” Ling Fei was startled, then explained, “The areas aren’t entirely separate. Sometimes I take them out to the back mountain for some fresh air. Last time, this Brightlight Beast was together with that Lightning Beast. Why? Did the Lightning Beast bully it? It didn’t seem so. Last time, the little Brightlight Beast was clinging to it.”

As Ling Fei spoke, the little Brightlight Beast became anxious.

Roar roar roar roar!

He didn’t bully me!

Yun Jin smiled and said, “There’s no bullying. Senior, would you be willing to take me to meet that Lightning Beast? I have a few things I want to ask.”

Ling Fei was completely confused, but seeing how confident Yun Jin was, he nodded in agreement.

The little Brightlight Beast looked at Yun Jin, slightly worried.

Yun Jin reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you find out. If it really doesn’t work out, we girls know when to hold on and when to let go!”

The little Brightlight Beast didn’t completely understand, but still nodded.

Ling Fei observed the interaction between Yun Jin and the spirit beast with an odd expression.

Why did it feel like she could understand what the spirit beast was saying?

If she’s truly capable of that, what an extraordinary beast-taming talent!

Are those from the Four Holy Lands also capable of this?

Probably not!

Suppressing his shock, Ling Fei led Yun Jin to the area where the Foundation Establishment spirit beasts were kept.

Several Foundation Establishment spirit beasts were also affected this time, but they had all been treated and were now resting.

Following Ling Fei, Yun Jin immediately saw the Lightning Beast, flamboyantly grooming its fur.

“This is the one,” Ling Fei said, stepping aside. He was really curious on how Yun Jin was going to communicate with it.

“Senior Ling,” Yun Jin said with an apologetic smile, “this is the little Brightlight Beast’s private matter. It probably doesn’t want you to know, so could I trouble you not to eavesdrop?”

Ling Fei: “…All right.”

He reluctantly blocked off his hearing.

Since he couldn’t hear anything, all Ling Fei could see was Yun Jin seemingly saying something to the Lightning Beast. Then she suddenly reached out and plucked a tuft of fur from it, surprisingly the Lightning Beast didn’t resist.

After receiving the fur, Yun Jin waved at Ling Fei. “Senior, we can go back now.”

Ling Fei held back his curiosity and walked with Yun Jin back to the Qi Refining area.

Then, Yun Jin gave him another apologetic glance.

Ling Fei: “……”

Got it.

He understood, alright?

Fine, he’ll continue to block off his hearing.

He was feeling incredibly wronged.

Why were the children he had painstakingly raised suddenly keep secrets from him?

Ling Fei didn’t know what Yun Jin said, but he could see the little Brightlight Beast’s mood visibly brighten.

Which made him even more jealous.

Is his status as their father figure already being threatened?
