Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 146 Door-to-Door Visit

Afterwards, Lin Manman led Lin Ruochen to visit the underground training room she had built at great expense, while taking the time to send messages to Meng Wenbin.

According to Xia Ming, Meng Wenbin should be able to finalize everything in three days at the fastest and a week at the slowest.

In other words, her whole family will be heading to the capital in a week at the latest.

Before going to the capital, she needed to tell Meng Wenbin about her brother's situation so that he could be prepared.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced you to the other members of our family yet."

After carefully sending a message to Meng Wenbin, Lin Manman opened the door to the training room and summoned all her spirit pets.

"You met him last night, Xiao Qi. This is Honey Badger. He's fearless and will fight anyone who disagrees. He's incredibly fierce in fights."

The honey badger, which was nearly four meters tall when standing upright, proudly raised its head.

"This is Rainbow Jade, a spirit beast with both spatial and water elements. It's the strongest support for petty thieves and has saved my life twice."

Rainbow Jade was wagging its tail happily when it suddenly became dumbfounded. Why did this sound like a compliment?

"Ah-Dai, the strongest scout. With him keeping watch in the air, I'm never afraid of getting lost when I'm up to no good or trying to escape..."

Ah-Dai stared at Lin Ruochen with a wise look in his eyes.

Lin Ruochen rubbed his forehead speechlessly. "Are you introducing me to your spirit pet, or are you introducing me to your ill intentions?"

Lin Manman blinked. Oh no, she was so busy showing off to her brother that she accidentally blurted out her true feelings.

"Haha, just kidding. This is just to give you a more direct feel for how powerful they are. This is Silvermoon, a Howling Moon Wolf King, specializing in group battles."

"Next to her is Amber, a mythical white tiger, who is now considered a minor celebrity in the beast world."

Lin Manman pulled Silver Moon and Amber's heads close, hugged them tightly, and inhaled deeply.

Unfortunately, mythical white tigers are too rare, so it's probably hopeless to upgrade Amber through the bloodline devouring method.

I wonder when I'll have the chance to upgrade Amber into a Winged White Tiger.

"Finally, let me introduce the treasure-hunting rat, Ruyi. Its history is a bit special, and it's quite afraid of people. The medicine that saved you was found by it, so strictly speaking, it's half your savior."

Lin Manman retrieved the Ruyi from the shadows of amber and silver moonlight and presented it to Lin Ruochen.

"Don't be afraid, Ruyi. You saw my brother when he was unconscious before, didn't you? It was because you guided me to find that treasure that I saved him, so you indirectly saved him too. I'll have him buy you lots of delicious food from now on."

Because of its past hardships, Ruyi has become extremely obsessed with food. It can't help but want to eat even human food that doesn't help with cultivation.

Ruyi cowered in Lin Manman's palm. It had indeed seen Lin Ruochen before he woke up, but that didn't mean it wasn't afraid of him when he woke up.

Because the Treasure Hunter organization only accepts men, it sees any man who is even slightly tall as extremely frightening.

Looking at the small, weak treasure-hunting rat, Lin Ruochen said helplessly, "You should put it away; it seems afraid of me."

Lin Manman was aware of Ruyi's inner conflict and had hoped that her older brother could help Ruyi gradually alleviate it, but it was clearly not the right time yet.

With a sigh, she had no choice but to put Ruyi back into her spirit pet space.

"Huh?" Amber asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just not out of the shadows yet. Don't worry, we should have faith in it."

Lin Manman touched Amber's big head.

"Honey Badger, you train here with your younger brothers and sisters. I'll bring you some good food later."

When Lin's mother saw the two people who had just come out of the basement, she quickly called them over to help.

"Why are you two siblings taking so long to come out? Hurry up and help, dinner will be ready soon!"

Lin Manman took a look and, wow, her aunt Xu Yuemei, her eldest aunt Xu Yueyun, and her eldest uncle Ruan Guangke. Even their children, their eldest daughter Ruan Jinfeng and their youngest son Ruan Jinlong, had come along.

The brother and sister greeted all the relatives in the room one by one. The twins, Ruan Jinfeng and Ruan Jinlong, pulled Lin Ruochen to the sofa to rest.

Lin Manman followed the adults to the kitchen to help.

Qiu Xiangjing probably got the news from Ke Ke, and also rushed over with his family.

Now the kitchen was even more lively, and Lin Manman was squeezed out.

Lin Manman stood at the kitchen doorway, feeling grateful that the kitchen in the house she bought was big enough, and also relieved that her home hadn't had this kind of warm, homey atmosphere in a long time.

After a lively family dinner, the family was sitting together chatting when Xia Ming brought Lin Manman some news.

Her teacher, Meng Wenbin, will be arriving soon.

She paused for a second, then subconsciously opened her bracelet to check the messages.

More than three hours after she sent the message, her teacher did not reply to her at all.

She assumed he was busy with other things and didn't have time for her.

Could it be that he saw her message and rushed over to her place?

Thinking of this, she glanced back at her brother Lin Ruochen, who was being pestered by her aunt's twins. "Goodness, it looks like he's had quite a shock."

Just then, Ke Ke led Meng Wenbin in.

Meng Wenbin wasn't wearing the alliance's uniform; he was just dressed casually in a shirt and suit pants, appearing at first glance to be just an ordinary, refined old man.

As the family sitting in the living room wondered who he was, Lin Manman approached him and respectfully called him "Teacher."

When Lin's mother and Lin Ruochen heard her call her "teacher," they immediately stood up as well.

Because of the spirit beast shop, Qiu Xiangjing had some contact with Lin Manman's sect. Although he didn't know the old man's exact identity, he figured he must be a very powerful figure.

So after the Lin family members all stood up, he quickly stood up as well.

Seeing that the family's originally lively and warm atmosphere had become reserved because of his arrival, Meng Wenbin spoke up somewhat awkwardly.

"Madam Lin, I have taken your daughter as my apprentice, but I have not yet formally met you. This is truly inappropriate."

"I originally planned to wait a couple of days until I finished my work before making a formal visit. But I suddenly received a message from Manman with an important question about cultivation that I couldn't explain clearly online, so I came over in a hurry."

Lin Manman and Lin Ruochen exchanged a glance.

The siblings didn't tell their mother that Lin Ruochen had awakened a second profession, so their mother genuinely believed that Meng Wenbin had rushed over because Lin Manman was having difficulties in her cultivation.

Seeing how much he cherished and valued Lin Manman, her concerns about her daughter becoming the disciple of such an important figure were greatly alleviated.

"Sir, you're too kind. It's a blessing that you've taken a liking to our child. We understand that you're busy and have little time. Besides, it should have been me who went to see you first regarding the matter of her becoming your apprentice."
