Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 209 You Must Learn to Control Your Talent

The bird, resembling a wild duck, was plump and seemed to have plenty of oil hidden under its feathers. It was leisurely circling in the air, completely unaware of the impending danger.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Sunflower King's lips. The butcher's knife gleamed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and with a whooshing sound, it traced a silver trajectory, piercing the bird's heart with unerring accuracy.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. With a soft but deadly "thud," the butcher's knife pierced the bird's chest, and blood spurted out.

The impact of the thrown knife propelled the bird high into the sky. It let out a mournful cry before falling helplessly to the ground, its feathers stained with blood.

The Sunflower King's gaze was cold and stern. It slowly withdrew its butcher's knife, its movements swift and decisive, as blood gushed from the wound.

It now wielded another butcher's knife, working it back and forth.

Feathers flew everywhere, and drops of blood fell to the ground, forming small puddles.

A short while later, a plucked 'duck' appeared.

Ye Bai weighed the prepared duck in his hand with satisfaction; it weighed about ten kilograms.

"I'm telling you beforehand, I'm clumsy, and accidents always happen when I cook."

"And the food I cook can poison people."

Yunluo quickly followed up with Ye Bai's explanation.

"You don't need to handle it; the Sunflower King will take care of it himself."

"It's dusk in the secret realm now, we need to find a place to rest for the night."

"One of the rules of the secret realm is to find a safe place to hide at night."

The sun was already gradually setting.

The sun's afterglow lingered in the air, turning the entire sky red.

The light in the woods gradually dimmed.

Ye Bai carefully observed the animal trail on the ground.

Beast paths are the tracks left by exotic beasts. Experienced beast masters can judge whether a powerful exotic beast has passed by, and whether it passed by a few days ago, by looking at the beast paths.

Since acquiring the Eye of Insight, he has gained the ability to see at night.

There are few traces of strange beasts in this area, and the surrounding tree trunks show no signs of being broken.

This proves that there are no powerful alien beasts in the vicinity.

At the same time, Ye Bai lay down on the ground and listened carefully to see if there was any sound of water around him.

The rule of wilderness survival is to avoid choosing locations near water sources.

Nocturnal creatures will approach water sources at night to replenish their body fluids.

"Very good, this place is quite nice."

"Wanbiancan, gather some branches, let's start a fire and cook."

"Sunflower King, wash this wild duck; we'll eat it tonight."

"Little Charcoal Dog, light the campfire later."

The ever-changing silkworm opened its mouth, and countless strands of silk gushed out.

The silkworm silk clung to some dry branches, and with a little effort, the ever-changing silkworm pulled the branches over.

Before long, a mountain of dry branches appeared on the ground.

The sunflower queen had already selected a branch about the thickness of a thumb, and the sharpened end of the branch pierced the wild duck.

At this moment, the sky completely darkened, and countless stars appeared in the sky.

Night fell, and a thin layer of mist enveloped the surroundings. Only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard in the distance, and faintly, there seemed to be a mournful cry, as if some unlucky soul had encountered something terrible.

After the sun sets, the temperature in the secret realm drops significantly.

By the light of the stars, you could even see a puff of white breath coming out of his mouth.

The little charcoal dog opened its dark mouth, and sparks spewed out, causing a faint flame to flicker at the bottom of the pile of firewood.

The flames spread rapidly among the firewood, and the growing fire consumed the dry branches.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of smoke rose up, carrying the aroma of wood, and slowly drifted into the air.

The fire grew larger and larger, and the warmth of the campfire began to dispel the surrounding chill.
In the campfire, occasionally a branch crackled as it burned, and sparks leaped out and quietly fell to the ground.

The little charcoal dog used its paws to push round stones around the campfire.

Sunflower Queen then found two sturdy tree branches and quickly built a simple frame.

The wild ducks were placed on a rack and rotated.

Flames licked the wild duck's skin, and streaks of golden fat oozed out as the flames scorched.

The oil emitted a rich aroma in the air, and locusts carrying liquid on their backs leaped over, drawn by the firelight.

"Aaaaaah, a bug, a huge bug!"

Yunluo let out a deafening scream.

Ye Bai smiled when he saw the soy sauce locusts.

"Yunluo, stop calling, the natural seasoning has arrived."

"This guy is called the soy sauce locust. It has top-quality soy sauce brewing on its back that can make your tongue sizzle."

"It usually feeds on matsutake mushrooms. Where there are soy sauce locusts, there are also a lot of matsutake mushrooms."

"Matsutake mushrooms usually grow under pine trees, but the aroma emanating from this duck has a strong pine scent."

"This proves that this guy grew up eating pine nuts."

"Sunflower Queen, weave a tree basket and go pick matsutake mushrooms."

"And bring back some soy sauce made from soy sauce locusts while you're at it."

"Note that you only need to gently squeeze the soy sauce on the back of the soy sauce locust; you don't need to kill it."

"It will continue to brew soy sauce."

"You can pick more matsutake mushrooms and put them in tree baskets; they should last for three days."

Ye Bai gave a few instructions.

The sunflower queen skillfully wove a tree basket, and carried it into the jungle.

She looks exactly like a little girl picking mushrooms.

"Ye Bai, your pet beast looks weak and helpless. What if it gets into danger if it goes deep into the forest?"

No sooner had Yun Luo finished speaking than Ye Bai shot her a dagger.

She seemed to realize something and quickly covered her mouth.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it."

Just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

The sound of trees falling could be heard from inside.

A hint of guilt flashed in Yunluo's eyes; she almost hated herself.

If something were to happen to the Sunflower Queen, she would probably never forgive herself.

"Don't worry, the Sunflower King is not weak."

"There won't be any problems."

"You just need to learn to control your talent."

"If you use your talent well, it's like a nuclear bomb."

"But it seems you haven't developed your talent at all."

"It's possible that this talent has made you feel bored, and you even hate yourself."

"Although you seem carefree on the surface, you are actually more sensitive than anyone else."

Ye Bai's words were like a sharp blade piercing Yun Luo's heart.

Yunluo's head was lowered, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Ye Bai felt that he might have been a bit too harsh, but his actions were correct.

Words become law; this is a rule that only deities can enforce.

In a world where the true form of a god cannot descend, Yunluo, who has deeply developed this talent, is the true god of this world.

"Sorry, I meant it a little harshly."

Ye Bai apologized to Yun Luo.

Yun Luo raised her head, her stubborn gaze fixed on Ye Bai.

"What do you know."

"Anyone who loves this talent can have it."

Have you ever experienced the suffocating pain and despair of choking even when drinking water?

Have you ever experienced the despair of falling and breaking your arms and legs in a single day?

"Have you ever experienced the despair of facing unexpected events no matter how hard you try?" "Have you ever felt the despair of having your mentor, who raised you, suddenly pass away?"

Yunlu shouted loudly, so loudly that his voice became hoarse.

"My original name was Yun Xiaocao because my master told me to learn from the tenacious vitality of grass."

"No matter if it's burned by fire, blown by wind, battered by rain, or struck by lightning, on the devastated land, new shoots of grass will always sprout soon."

"Just living is already very, very difficult for me."

"My master went to great lengths to find the Crow of Fate and help me suppress my misfortune."

“But he still had an accident. Before he passed away, he held my hand and said that he didn’t blame me and that it was his fate.”

"I really hate my talent. Why does fate have to torment me like this?"

"I would rather have ordinary talent, be an ordinary girl, and happily grow old with my master."

"You accompanied me as I grew up, and I will accompany you as you grow old."

"Unfortunately, by the time I grew up, my master was no longer here, no longer here."

"He died while protecting me."

Large tears streamed down Yunluo's face and dripped onto the ground.

She covered her face, squatted on the ground, and cried loudly.

Tears streamed down her face through her fingers.

Ye Bai felt a pang of sadness as he listened to Yun Luo's sobbing.

He could feel the regret of wanting to care for one's parents but finding them gone.

At that moment, Yunluo smelled a strong floral fragrance coming from behind her.

She looked up and saw the sunflower queen, covered in mud, walking up to her with a handful of soil.

On the yellow soil, there is a small, lush green grass.

The sunflower queen radiated a light green light.

The grass emitted a faint green glow.

A pure white flower sprouted from the grass.

The sunflower queen exuded a faint smile as she tucked her flowers into Yunluo's thick, silky black hair.

Yunluo just cried out all the grievances she had been holding in.

After having a good cry, she felt much better.

"I'm sorry, I was just too emotional."

Then Yunlu squatted down and, ignoring the mud all over the Sunflower King, picked it up.

"Thank you, Sunflower Queen, for showing me that even a small blade of grass can bloom into a beautiful flower."

Sunflower Queen gave an embarrassed look.

It looked at Yunluo's blue Taoist robe, which was covered in mud.

Suddenly, a yellow talisman appeared in Yunluo's hand, and in the blink of an eye, her clothes were completely transformed.

Ye Bai noticed that this yellow talisman was another type of equipment-type alien beast.

This proves that Cloudfall is not as simple as it appears, being only a mere third order.

Pet masters who possess four exotic beasts have generally reached the fourth rank.

Just then, a rich aroma wafted over from nearby.

That fragrance, as refreshing as a spring breeze, lingered around Yunluo's nose like a fishhook.

Before we knew it, the roast duck was ready, and a rich, savory aroma filled the air.

There were also strings of matsutake mushrooms strung together next to the campfire.

Each matsutake mushroom was drizzled with a sauce made from soy sauce and locusts.

It smells wonderful.

"dinner time."

Sunflower Emperor took out two large bowls of rice from his spatial storage.

At the same time, it brandished its butcher's knife, the blade slicing across the skin of the roast duck with a snapping sound.

A rich, sealed aroma wafted out from the cut skin of the roast duck.

Yunlu felt as if she had seen a Buddha from the heavens, and she couldn't wait to descend and dance and sing around the roast duck.

Please make yourself at home.

A series of cold glints flashed, and the meat of the roast duck was removed and neatly arranged on a woven plate.

The plate was also decorated with a ring of grilled matsutake mushrooms.

Yunluo couldn't wait to pick up a piece of crispy roasted duck meat.

The duck meat melts in your mouth, and the rich, savory fat lingers between your lips and teeth.

She felt a burning sensation all over her body, as if a handsome man with a duck's head and a human body was waltzing with her at a ball.

A sense of satisfaction, as if dying without regrets, traveled from Yunluo's tongue to her brain.

Her face flushed, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes once again.

She shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth, and this rice was extraordinary.

It is rice cooked using Longya rice, spring water from Qingliang Mountain, and simmered over charcoal fire.

Each grain of rice is like a crystal-clear dragon tooth.

Since Ye Bai awakened his dual talents with the help of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Jade, he has had to eat good food to replenish his energy consumption.

As for why Yunluo has always been so unlucky, it's probably because she didn't have enough to eat when she was a child.

Her talent is too extraordinary, and the energy it requires is enormous. If she had been born into a wealthy family, she would have already mastered her talent by now.

Unlike now, when talent is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Yunluo ate almost all of the roast duck and rice, and even ate every single matsutake mushroom.

This was the first time she had ever felt full.

"Are you full? Once you're full, we can talk about serious business."

"In the secret realm, I need you to be able to control your talent."

"Through continuous practice of one's talent, one can become familiar with and master that talent."

"Your talent is exceptional; you are that kind of person."

Ye Bai pointed to the starry sky above, which completely stunned Yun Luo.

Is my talent really that abnormal?

Why am I still living like this?

Ye Bai overestimated himself!

Yunluo was completely baffled.

"Your energy is insufficient, which is why your talent is in a semi-awakened state."

"So, the talent you were diagnosed with back then was being a jinx, right?"

"That's only a small part of your talent."

"If you can explore your talent in depth, you might become someone like the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

Yunluo was completely bewildered by Ye Bai's words.

She only understood one thing: that her talent was amazing, Plath.

It was only because of insufficient energy that the ability to jinx things was demonstrated.

"Then how should I practice my talent?"

Yunlu asked with great interest.

"What you need to learn is the skill of speaking."

"For example, you can tell it that you're not good."

Yunlu looked at a duck that was similar to the one before and said directly, "You're doomed."

At this moment, Yunluo felt a strange energy being drawn out of her body.

The duck was flying in mid-air when a falling branch crushed its head.

This is like getting a free duck!

Yun Luo felt a little hungry, which was probably a normal bodily reaction after using her talent.

I'm silently asking for votes. I got home too late today. From tomorrow until the end of July, I'll be updating four times a day.
