I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 302 Just call me Xiaoyangzi
“I know that I offended you a lot in the Water Fairy Forest before, and I didn’t speak up against them when they abandoned me after they had served their purpose, which left a very bad impression on you.”

Feng Yang clenched his fists nervously, trying to steady his slightly trembling voice: "But I still want to fight for myself again, Sister Nanran—"

"I truly want to become your disciple!"

He swallowed a few times: "You may not know, but before today, I never thought I could be promoted again in such a short time."

"When I first returned to the sect, I also went into seclusion to study for a long time, but it did not improve my cultivation at all."

"I know my talent is limited, so I don't push myself any further. I just keep telling myself to be content and satisfied with the present moment."

"But today, with just a few words from you, you enlightened me, allowing me to once again achieve enlightenment and advance in my cultivation—"

Feng Yang lowered his head somewhat embarrassed: "This is something that other inner sect elders cannot do."

"Indeed, I did have my own selfish motives..."

Thinking that by staying by Nan Ran's side, his cultivation would definitely improve faster.

Before today, his desire to become Nan Ran's apprentice stemmed primarily from gratitude.

He was grateful for Nan Ran's guidance in the Water Demon Forest, which enabled him to quickly become one of the best among them, advance three ranks, and secure a spot in the special training team.

But after his promotion today, his desire to become Nan Ran's apprentice has become even more urgent, because he wants to climb higher and go further.

Only Nanran could guide him on these things...

Furthermore, Nan Ran not only guided him to advance, but also enabled his contracted beast, a low-level demon beast that everyone, including him, thought had no chance of advancing, to advance again!
Tell me, who in this world can do that?
This is clearly the strongest of the strong!
Feng Yang lowered his head in embarrassment, worried that he would see Nan Ran's disdain for his overly pragmatic nature.

"...I want to latch onto Sister Nanran's coattails."

He lowered his head and spoke in a very low voice.

Nan Ran: ...

If she remembered correctly, she was supposed to be a cultivation failure, right? To this day, she herself hadn't even learned how to skillfully use spiritual power, so how could she guide Feng Yang?

However, the earnest and sincere plea in Feng Yang's eyes made her feel a little reluctant to refuse.

"Senior brother, please allow me to think about it..."

This time, Nan Ran didn't completely rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

Feng Yang, who had already prepared himself for rejection, felt as if he had suddenly heard heavenly music.

His mouth gaped open, his eyes wide with disbelief: "Nan... Sister Nanran, you... you agree? No, no, no, you're willing to test me?"

In a sect, if you want to become an apprentice, you can only do so if the master comes to you to accept you as a disciple. If you want to actively become an apprentice of someone, you have to show them courtesy and respect.

If the other party intends to take you as an apprentice, they will allow you to follow them around, do some chores, take care of your daily life, and observe you for a year or two before deciding to accept you as an apprentice.

Nan Ran's decision not to refuse at this moment gave him an opportunity.

Feng Yang was overjoyed, wishing he could jump three feet high on the spot.

Nan Ran: ...

When faced with someone's enthusiasm, I really want to simply refuse, so as not to leave them with any lingering thoughts, which could ultimately lead to resentment.

"Senior brother..."

Before she could say anything, Feng Yang slid down to his knees with a thud: "Sister Nanran, please don't call me senior brother anymore, it's too much of a generation difference. Just call me, call me—Xiao Yangzi!"

Feng Yang had a sudden inspiration and gave himself a nickname.

Nan Ran: ...
