JSCMU-Chapter 68: Iron-Eating Beast? Chi You’s Mount!

Gu Jinghong stood stiffly, his body straight and rigid in front of Yun Jin.

Yun Jin glanced at him with some distaste. “Seeing your master, and you can’t even manage a smile?”

Gu Jinghong: “……”

He forced out a smile with great effort, yet it looked even more miserable than crying.

Yun Jin was directly stunned by how ugly it was.

She curled her lip, then scooped the Iron-Eating Beast into her arms. “See this? This is Gun Gun. For the next three months, your main job is to serve it. If it’s ever unhappy or uncomfortable in any way, I’ll hold you accountable!”

Gun Gun’s eyes lit up.

What?

Master Iron-Eating Beast now even has a personal servant?

He definitely picked the right master!

Gun Gun sized up Gu Jinghong, his gaze full of judgement.

Heh.

So this is the future servant of Lord Gun Gun?

So skinny! Who knows if he even has strength!

“Gun Gun, remember this. Although he is our servant in name…” Yun Jin began.

Gun Gun blinked, feeling a little disappointed.

Oh.

Master must be saying not to make things too difficult for him?

“But in practice, you don’t need to treat him like a person. Do whatever you want with him,” Yun Jin said.

Gun Gun’s eyes lit up instantly.

There’s actually such a good thing?

Gu Jinghong: “…”

He really wanted to run.

But he couldn’t.

“You’re complaining about me in your heart, aren’t you?” Yun Jin unceremoniously activated a sliver of the contract’s power.

Gu Jinghong’s expression changed. His whole body instantly trembled.

After delivering a bit of punishment, Yun Jin said coldly, “Remember, with the master-servant contract in place, I can immediately sense any dissatisfaction you feel toward me. A servant who disrespects their master will be struck by divine punishment. Understand?”

What divine punishment!

It’s clearly you who used the contract’s power!

But Gu Jinghong didn’t dare to feel dissatisfied, not even in his thoughts. He could only silently nod.

But he couldn’t vent his inner frustration, so Gu Jinghong started cursing Ye Danxia in his heart!

If not for Ye Danxia, he wouldn’t be in such a miserable state!

Cursing her now wasn’t unjustified!

Yun Jin saw Gu Jinghong grinding his teeth but didn’t sense any backlash from the contract, so she let it go.

She asked Gun Gun, “Gun Gun, I’m going out tomorrow. Do you want to come with me, or stay here at the sect to supervise the servant?”

Supervise the servant?

Gun Gun was instantly intrigued!

As a little beast with chunnibyou, it had always dreamed of being the boss!

In front of Yun Jin, it wouldn’t dare be arrogant.

But!

It looked like Master has a grudge against this servant, and now she is giving it permission to torment him however it wants?

Gun Gun loves pulling pranks the most!

“I’ll stay and supervise him for you,” Gun Gun shouted. “Master, even at night he can’t slack off! I’ll monitor him all night!”

Gun Gun was highly enthusiastic.

Yun Jin smiled and instructed Gu Jinghong, “Take good care of Gun Gun. He needs milk at night and a bedtime story. If you don’t serve him well and he gets upset, I’ll skin you alive.”

Gun Gun eagerly jumped onto Gu Jinghong.

Yun Jin handed over all of Gun Gun’s things, packed in a storage pouch, to Gu Jinghong.

For a moment, Gu Jinghong was even a little dazed.

Yun Jin… seemed rather lenient toward him.

Just taking care of a little beast?

That didn’t seem too bad.

Gu Jinghong accepted the task and even felt Yun Jin was rather generous.

“Mount, move out!” Gun Gun lay on Gu Jinghong’s shoulder and smacked his head.

Although Gu Jinghong couldn’t understand Gun Gun’s words, its meaning was very clear. He had no choice but to obediently carry the little master out.

The disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak had already built a small bamboo hut near Yun Jin’s residence. Gu Jinghong moved in directly.

Yun Jin watched the pair’s retreating figures.

She smiled.

This was only the first step.

She had to let Gu Jinghong experience what kind of life she had in her previous life.

Back then.

If Ye Danxia cried, it was her fault.

If Ye Danxia was sad, it was her fault.

If Ye Danxia smiled at someone, and others got jealous, it was still her fault.

She became a permanent scapegoat. Anything related to Ye Danxia was always her responsibility!

In this life, let Gu Jinghong  properly experience it.

Gun Gun, being a brat, might be even more troublesome than Ye Danxia.

If Gun Gun throws a tantrum, he’ll get beaten.

If Gun Gun gets upset, he’ll get beaten.

If Gun Gun is too happy, he’ll still get beaten.

It’s time to let him learn what it felt like to constantly take the blame.

Yun Jin wasn’t worried Gu Jinghong would harm Gun Gun.

Gun Gun is spiritually linked to her. If he suffered any harm, one thought from her could kill Gu Jinghong instantly.

Although she promised not to take his life within these three months, if he dared to harm Gun Gun, she wouldn’t hold back.

That night.

Yun Jin refined a few more batches of Biling Pills and had Yue Zhao slowly sell them off.

Then she looked at her system panel.

Originally, the system only showed her information.

Now, beneath her name, another entry had appeared for the Iron-Eating Beast Gun Gun:

“Iron-Eating Beast (Gun Gun):

Mid-grade spirit beast

Level: Qi Refining Stage

Skills: Charge (Level 1), Roar (Level 1)”

Only two skills, and both were level one.

However.

After being contracted, Gun Gun could also use the system’s simplification functions.

Yun Jin tried simplifying them.

“Charge” became: Ram into a tree 100 times per day to rapidly increase mastery.

“Roar” became: Roar 100 times per day to rapidly increase mastery.

With that.

Gun Gun’s skill levels should improve quickly.

Yun Jin remembered that beast-controlling cultivators could also bestow additional skills onto their spirit beasts.

When the time came, she could learn how it works and give Gun Gun some divine-level skills.

Then again.

Even with these two basic skills, if trained consistently, should theoretically be able to reach divine-level.

At that time.

Gun Gun would unleash a divine-level Charge and a divine-level Roar. The scene imagined was beautiful

Yun Jin had made up her mind. Starting tomorrow, she will begin supervising the Iron-Eating Beast’s skill training. But since it was a mischievous brat, she still needed to think of a way to get it to practice willingly.

Yun Jin checked Gun Gun’s status again and suddenly noticed a hidden information button at the bottom of the data panel.

She tried clicking on it.

The system prompted her:

Spend 10 simplification attempts to view the hidden information on Gun Gun.

Yun Jin clicked without hesitation.

“Iron-Eating Beast: Mid-grade Spirit Beast (Can reach divine-grade upon bloodline awakening). In ancient times, there was a demon god named Chi You. The ancestor of the Iron-Eating Beast clan once served as Chi You’s mount, unmatched in bravery and peerless in battle. After Chi You’s defeat, the Iron-Eating Beast clan vanished. When they reappeared, they had already degraded into mid-grade spirit beasts.”

Yun Jin’s gaze flickered.

She had seen this legend in other worlds before. But legends were full of uncertainties, so she didn’t pay much attention.

Now that this information was confirmed by the system.

It meant that in this world, the Iron-Eating Beast really did have such a glorious past.

Chi You’s mount!

An unmatched warrior!

Without a doubt, her Gun Gun would one day evolve to that level!
