Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Gu Ling looked around to make sure no one else was nearby before stating her plan: "For the next two nights, you guys go to the Fiery Birds' habitat and harass them. Teasing them once and then running away, then continue teasing them so they can't get a proper rest."

"Be careful, it's best to target those that are only at the extraordinary level of the Fierce Bird. The Lesser Fierce Sparrow is fine."

After hearing the whole plan, Xianjiu and the mischievous boy were both very excited and raised their hands in agreement: It sounds so fun! (ω)y

Soon, Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost ran off arm in arm, whispering amongst themselves about what they should do that night.

Gu Ling did not disturb the two little ones.

Having experience working in haunted houses, I believe that Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost will be able to complete this task excellently.

Gu Ling turned her head and caught a glimpse of a small bird that was wobbling as it flew. Her expression changed abruptly.

"...Hehehe~ Little bird~"

Gu Ling rubbed her hands together, a malicious smile on her lips, and pounced on the little bird.

A hug! A touch!

Points +1

"Keep going!" Gu Ling's spirits lifted slightly, and he excitedly released the little bird to search for the next target.

"..."

……

night.

Somewhere in the habitat of the mad shrew.

"Fierce~"

A powerful, sturdy bird with a flower in its beak and glossy, beautiful feathers stood on a large rock, striking various poses and occasionally soaring into the sky to perform a series of spinning and gliding dances in mid-air, its movements exuding unparalleled elegance and charm.

Even without an audience, the Mad Bird's face is full of confidence.

I must look incredibly handsome right now!

When Xiaomei comes over in a little while, it will definitely attract her and make her like it.

In order to perform better on the date, the Fiery Bird only rested for a short while before continuing to practice its aerial dance diligently. Meanwhile, in a direction it couldn't see, a blurry white shadow flickered in the nearby grass.

In the shadows, a pair of mysterious blue eyes stared intently at the raging bird.

Whoosh!

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing from behind.

The mad bird standing on the big rock was suddenly kicked off by something.

Zzz~

A bolt of lightning struck, and the mad bird flew up in a daze, only to be struck squarely on the head.

"Fierce, fierce, fierce..." The raging bird convulsed all over and quickly collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the Mad Bird faint, Xian Jiu, who was preparing to launch the next attack, paused for a moment, then curled her lips in disgust.

"Meow~" Too weak, too weak~

Xianjiu was still thinking of scaring him a bit more, but... that's it?

Xian Jiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. Her cat-like eyes lit up, and she turned to look at the unconscious Mad Bird with a cunning expression.

The cat's sharp claws emerged like merciless blades, scratching the mad bird's body and causing large patches of feathers to fall off.

A few minutes later, Xian Jiu looked at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that another mad bird seemed to be flying in this direction, so she quickly left the spot.

After Xianjiu left, the unconscious Kuanglie Bird slowly awoke.

Everything was blurry before my eyes. I could only vaguely see a dark shadow flying towards me before landing on the ground not far away.

"……strong!"

The newly arrived mad bird stared in shock at the bald bird in front of it, which had only a few pitiful feathers left on its body.

Without its feathers, the meat inside, glistening with oil, looked greasy and ordinary, completely lacking any aesthetic appeal, more like a plate of "white-cut chicken" about to be slaughtered and served.

The newly arrived Fiery Bird immediately looked disgusted.

It's so ugly~

It rejected Big Head, Two Head, and Three Head from coming on a date, and this is...?

Growing angrier the more she thought about it, the new scorching bird uttered a single sentence before turning and flying away without a second thought: "Scorching~" I've already memorized your bald look; it's too awful to look at. There's no future for us~

"Lie—" The bald bird, regaining its senses, looked down at its white body and let out a mournful cry that echoed throughout the land, each sound filled with blood!

...Xiaomei! No! Don't leave me!!

The "culprit," who had already slipped away, twitched its furry ears upon hearing this sound, and then continued searching for its next "victim" as if nothing had happened.

……

the other side.

Under several fruit trees, a flock of little finches lowered their heads to peck at the fallen fruit, occasionally letting out cheerful gurgling sounds.

Meanwhile, a little scorpion in the corner rummaged through the fruit at its feet, turned its head to look around at its companions, and only after confirming that all the pets were eating its fruit and no one would come to steal it did it happily lower its head.

The little peacock had its eye on the biggest and roundest fruit. Just as it opened its mouth to take a bite, the fruit vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Lie?" Little Lieque's face froze.

What about its fruit?

The little finches glanced suspiciously at its companions, only to find them all engrossed in eating their own fruit, oblivious to its presence...

Suddenly, the little scorpion became somewhat confused again.

Unable to figure it out, the little shrike simply stopped thinking about it, lowered its head to aim at the second fruit on the ground, and was about to happily swallow it in one gulp—

Whoosh!

It felt as if a cold wind was blowing in front of me.

The little peacock took a bite, but it bit into nothing but air; the fruit had vanished just like before.

"Lie~" This time, Little Lieque was truly enraged!

who?!

Who stole its fruit?!

The little finches glared angrily at their companions, who were still happily eating fruit. Their anger flared up, and they charged headlong into them!

The little speare next to it was knocked to the ground. When it came to its senses, it jumped up angrily and glared at the first speare that had bumped into it: "Speare~" What are you doing? Want to fight?!

"Hey! You stole my fruit!"

"Hey~" When did I steal your fruit? The fruit is on the ground, whoever gets it first gets it, right?

The little finless ...

So he rammed into it again.

boom!

The little shrew, knocked to the ground for the second time, was completely enraged! Without a second thought, it flapped its wings and retaliated with its still-developing [Wing Attack]!

The two little finches were wrestling and fighting, and the fight got more and more intense, with no sign of stopping.

They started slapping each other, their eyes turning red with rage. Even the other little scorpions watching from the sidelines were caught off guard and got slapped several times.

"strong!"

"strong!!"

More and more little scorching sparrows, who were being attacked for no reason, became increasingly angry as they thought about it, and eventually joined the melee.

Some of the cunning little finches tried to steal their companions' fruit while they were fighting.

One, two...

After discovering that their fruit had been stolen, the short-tempered little finches couldn't hold back any longer and started fighting!

In the end, all the little speare sparrows were caught in a chaotic battle.

"Hehe~" On the fruit tree, the mischievous boy watched the little scorpions fighting below and covered his mouth to chuckle.

Go ahead and fight! Go ahead and fight!

The mischievous boy watched the battle from the tree while reaching out to pick a fruit from the side and stuffing it into his mouth, looking quite content.

After eating all the fruit from the tree, the mischievous boy slowly floated away...

"..."

This night was destined to be a sleepless one.

……

The next morning.

As soon as Fang Miao arrived at the peacock's habitat, she saw Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost sitting under a tree, yawning incessantly, their eyes dull and empty.

Even though it's a mischievous ghost, it looks listless and lethargic, a stark contrast to its lively state as it roams around everywhere these days.

Gu Lingyi, who had just finished petting a batch of pet beasts, returned and saw this scene. She wasn't surprised at all, but simply suggested, "Are you all alright? Why don't you go back and get some sleep?"

Upon hearing this, both Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost shook their heads.

"Meow~" This cat is staying here to keep the beast tamer company~

"Hehehe~" A beast tamer can't be without the protection of ghosts~

Seeing Gu Ling arrive, Fang Miao asked with a puzzled look, "Gu Ling, why are your pets all listless? Are they sick? Should we get them checked out?"

"Cough, it's not that I'm sick..." Gu Ling coughed lightly, then explained in a low voice, "Actually, it's just..."

When Fang Miao heard that Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost had dressed up as ghosts to scare the Mad Bird last night, she was astonished: "This..." Can it be like this?

Gu Ling looked at Fang Miao without any guilt: "This is also to exhaust the energy of the Mad Birds. When it's time for the Blue Peacocks to mate tomorrow, those Mad Birds will be exhausted and might not be able to come and bother us."

Fang Miao paused for a moment: "...Yes, it is indeed a method." It's just a bit unethical.

"Then I'll tell Uncle Lin and the others... By the way, are we going tonight?"

Before Gu Ling could answer, Xian Jiu and the mischievous boy, who were almost asleep, suddenly nodded excitedly.

"Meow~" Let's go! We have to go! This is so much fun... This tactic, with such strategic vision, must be firmly implemented!

"Hehehe~" It's all for the blue peacocks! It's just a small sacrifice of sleep time, nothing to worry about!

Gu Ling's eye twitched.

She knew it... these two would ultimately treat her flawless "plan" as a game!

o(≧口≦)o Oh dear! She wants to play too... cough cough...

Not wanting to hold anyone back, Gu Ling reluctantly severed that last shred of 'delusion,' then nodded to Fang Miao with a smile: 'Of course I'll be there tonight.'

"Don't worry, Xianjiu and the mischievous one can handle it, they won't mess it up."

"..." Fang Miao fell silent again.

Is this a question of whether the characters in "Chinese Paladin 9" and "The Mischievous Ghost" can handle it?

She was afraid the mad birds would be driven mad by the torture!

But seeing Gu Ling's confident expression, Fang Miao couldn't bring herself to say it.

...Gu Ling should know what she's doing, right?
