Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 143 Imperial Jade Liquor?

"...Brother!" Lin Manman hadn't seen him with his eyes open for a long time, and her eyes stung slightly. Then she grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"You're finally awake! Without you taking the blame for me, I wouldn't dare cause any trouble!"

Lin Ruochen was still immersed in the warm atmosphere just now. As soon as he heard those words, he was brought back to reality. Memories of the times he had taken the blame for her and the scolding he had received for her came flying at him like snowflakes.

He remembered! He remembered everything!!

"Cough... She's a good girl, it's a pity she has a mouth." Lin Ruochen tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a dry smile.

"Tsk, how dare you talk like that? I risked my life to save you, and now you're making me take the blame?"

Lin Manman rolled her eyes. Although saving his life was a bit of an exaggeration, it was indeed her doing that he woke up early, right?

Moreover, the process of obtaining the diluted Fountain of Life was fraught with danger for her!

Lin Ruochen glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Qi beside her, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, and asked hesitantly, "You've awakened to become a Beast Tamer?"

Upon hearing him mention this, Lin Manman raised an eyebrow at him smugly, then took out a professional badge from her spatial bracelet.

"Oh, it's nothing. It only took me more than three months to reach the third level of Beast Tamer."

Lin Ruochen's expression turned to disbelief, "Three levels in three months??"

For a normal professional, advancing from Awakening to Level 3 within two years is already considered exceptionally talented; advancing to Level 3 in three months is unheard of!

Lin Manman chuckled, "How about it? Aren't you amazed by your little sister's extraordinary talent?"

Lin Ruochen looked at her strangely, "Are you sure this is a matter of natural talent, or not cheating?"

Lin Manman's expression froze. In this world, everyone is busy making a living and doesn't have much time for entertainment, so there are no large-scale online games like those in her previous life, and naturally, there are no cheat codes.

How did her brother know the term "cheating"?

"Open...open what? Brother, what did you mean just now?" she asked Lin Ruochen tentatively, while scanning Lin Ruochen with the system.

Could this guy's soul undergo a mutation and give her a fellow villager?

After Lin Ruochen finished speaking, he was stunned. He held his forehead and tried to think carefully, but suddenly couldn't remember what he had just said.

"I don't know, something just flashed through my mind and I blurted it out unconsciously. What did I just say?"

Seeing that Lin Ruochen's confused expression didn't seem to be feigned, Lin Manman's heart sank.

What made things even more difficult for her was that Lin Ruochen's system panel had an extra option in the "Occupation" section...

Lin Ruochen

Cardinality attribute:

Qi and blood: 568

Spirit: 3667

Soul: 2112

Class: Ice Elemental Mage (First Class)

Beastmaster (Second Job)

Talent: Double Boost: All attributes and skill effects are doubled.

Soul Control: Can implant soul control in any creature whose soul power is not higher than one's own.

Upon seeing Lin Ruochen's awakened second talent, Lin Manman gasped in astonishment.

What's going on?

According to Meng Wenbin, normal professionals only have a chance to awaken a second profession after breaking through level nine, while her brother is only at level four.

Not only did he awaken a second profession, but judging from his current soul power, he has already reached the level of a fourth-level beast tamer.

Putting all that aside, what's even more outrageous is whether this soul control talent is a bit too ridiculous.

Are these all benefits gained after the soul mutated?

Based on the familiar word her brother had just uttered, Lin Manman reasonably suspected that her brother might have been possessed!

I've heard that time travelers all have their own secret codes, what are they again?

"Brother... Imperial Jade Liquor?" Lin Manman looked at Lin Ruochen with an indescribable expression, hesitantly probing.

"Huh?" Lin Ruochen frowned, a look of utter confusion on his face, which had just recovered.

Silk, isn't it?

Worried that her brother might notice something, and after her initial probing attempt failed, Lin Manman quickly looked away and cleared her throat. "Well, you just woke up, would you like some water?"

Lin Ruochen looked at her suspiciously, "It's not that it's impossible."

Lin Manman immediately turned around and ran off to pour herself a glass of water, thinking about how to change the subject.

"Hey...bro, tomorrow you can pretend you woke up on your own, and don't mention I was here, okay?"

After helping Lin Ruochen sit up, Lin Manman tactically changed the subject.

Lin Ruochen took a sip of water, looked up at her, and asked, "You just said you risked your life to save me?"

"So you've gotten into trouble again outside, and Mom didn't know?"

Lin Manman's smile faltered. Otherwise, how could they say that birds of a feather flock together? Her brother and mother were both so good at getting straight to the point.

"It's a long story..." How could she have let it slip out before she even thought of it?

"Then let's get to the point." Lin Ruochen had no intention of letting her go. He had been unconscious for so long, and in his fluctuating consciousness, he seemed to have heard his mother and sister's voices, but now he had no memory of it at all.

He hoped to hear what had happened at home and among her family members during this time.

"You just woke up, why don't you rest a little longer..."

Lin Manman scratched her head, feeling that if she told the truth, her brother would not only want to beat her to death, but also use this weakness to make it impossible for her to ever regain her dignity in front of him again.

"Manman, I just want to know, how have you been coping these past few days?"

He sighed. Judging from Lin Manman's attitude, a lot must have happened during this time, and to the extent that she was unwilling to tell him.

Although his younger sister was lazy and unambitious, she, like their father, valued family and kinship very much. Afraid that her family would worry about her, she often preferred to report good news and not bad news.

Lin's father and he had both encountered misfortunes, and now seeing that she had not only awakened her profession but was already a level three beast tamer, he could guess that she must have done a lot for this family.

Lin Manman sensed his disappointment and self-blame, so she could only tell him the general events of the past few days, omitting the fact that she had been kidnapped twice and encountered a beast tide.

"Then where does the story of risking your life to save me come from?"

Lin Ruochen didn't dwell on the fact that she had taken a big shot as her teacher, nor did he worry that their family might be heading north to the capital soon. Instead, he focused on asking about this matter.

Lin Manman wanted to slap herself for saying those words. She gave a dry laugh and said, "It's an exaggeration. If Mom finds out I gave you random medication and still haven't woken you up, she'll definitely want to beat me to death."

"Take out the medicine that saved me and let me see it." Lin Ruochen didn't believe her nonsense at all and reached out to ask her for the key evidence.

Lin Manman: ……

Is this situation insurmountable today?!

Has her brother become even more difficult to deal with since he woke up this time?

She slowly placed the bottle of diluted "Fountain of Life" in his hand, betting that her brother wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Who knew her brother genuinely couldn't recognize what it was, but he never played by the rules.

"I'll wake Mom up and ask her if she knows what this is, and where you got it from. I'll also ask her if she knows where you've been lately."

Although Lin Ruochen didn't know what the thing in his hand was, he was familiar with his younger sister.

Her unusual reaction suggests that the matter concerning the object in her hand is far from simple.

"Brother!! My dear brother!! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, okay?!" Lin Manman quickly pulled Lin Ruochen back down as he was about to get up.
