Not to mention Ningbao, Li Qinglan is craving it too! She hasn't had any of the things Mumu mentioned in decades, and to make matters worse, there's that little dumpling next to her constantly nagging:

"Pan-fried dumplings, are they filled with pork and have corn kernels in them? They're so incredibly delicious with every bite!"

Little Ningbao cupped her cheeks in her hands, and just thinking about it made her smile foolishly.

"Or what?"

Mumu chuckled and patted Ningbao's head. She'd always used the same recipe. Besides, the dumplings were all pre-made and stored in her spatial bag. Even if she changed the recipe now, Ningbao would still have to eat the old one first.

Li Qinglan: ...

She pinched Ningbao's chubby cheeks, feeling both amused and annoyed. Why did she have to say it to tempt her? There's still a long time before lunch!

Little Ningbao, who was used to being pinched, didn't struggle at all. She just stood there and let Li Qinglan pinch her as she pleased, which made Li Qinglan feel guilty. How could she bully such an obedient child?

She coughed, changing the subject:

"Weren't we talking about what happens to the leftover porridge?"

"That's right."

Ningbao scratched his head. His silly look was cute and endearing, but it was also really worrying! He always gave off the feeling that he could be easily fooled.

Little Ningbao, who looks and really is easy to fool, patted her bulging belly with a worried expression:

"But Ningbao can't eat anymore."

This scene inevitably reminded Mu Mu of the beginning, when Ning Bao was tricked away by the Little Heavenly Dao of the Beast Taming World with a small ball with her and Feng Yuan's patterns drawn on it.

No, Ningbao still needs to study. It seems Ningbao didn't read before breakfast this morning, but it's not too late to start now!

Ningbao stared in shock at the book that Mumu had suddenly shoved into her hand. Her chubby face was filled with disbelief, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears, like a virtuous young girl who had been betrayed by a scumbag, filled with resentment.

But Mu Mulang is as hard as iron. With the same intellect, but possessing more knowledge, he should be a bit smarter, right? Isn't it said that reading makes one wise?

Ningbao's mind can't develop any further, so the only thing we can do is help her gain knowledge. Otherwise, if every little world is like this, it's really worrying. It's fine if she's around, but what if she can't get out?

I have no idea what's wrong with Ningbao. Why can't she summon her pet?

To be honest, Ningbao isn't actually stupid; her thought process is just a little different from most adults. That's why even offering Ningbao's favorite candy didn't work for the Beast Taming Heavenly Dao; instead, a ball tricked her away.

If human traffickers really do appear in the future, given Ningbao's fighting skills, it's hard to say who will be unlucky enough to suffer. Moreover, Ningbao has her own set of logic, and she might even be able to make things very difficult for the human traffickers.

But! It's still very important to use your brain! So I absolutely have to read this book today!

Ningbao, with a scrunched-up chubby face, looked miserable and reluctantly opened the book. Lately, life has been too good; the child has been playing like crazy. He's like a student returning to school after a summer vacation, facing his textbooks for the first time.

The only good thing is that Ningbao doesn't have the worry of summer homework. Oh, wait, Ningbao does have homework, doesn't she?

"Ningbao, did you do the math problems I asked you to do before?"

The little dumpling was already stiff all over; she... she forgot!

"Ningbao should study hard; Ningbao loves learning."

She immediately sat up very straight, her eyes fixed firmly on the textbook in her hands.

Mumu immediately understood; he definitely hadn't done it, and she didn't even know if the workbook had been opened.

Li Qinglan, always eager for a good show, stood by with her arms crossed, watching the spectacle unfold.

What else can she do? When the older sister is disciplining her younger sister, she can't just step in and act as a peacemaker, saying, "Oh, the child is still young, it's okay if she doesn't learn." Letting Ningbao not learn is actually harming Ningbao.

Moreover, she felt that with Mumu's shrewdness, if she were truly that kind of person, Mumu would quickly find reasons to distance herself from her. After all, such words sounded very provocative. Don't ask her why she knew so much; it's because someone actually said something like that when she was disciplining her younger sister.

However...

"Ningbao, study hard, at least get your kindergarten diploma."

A few jokes are fine.

"Ningbao is in junior high school now~"

Ning Bao answered very seriously.

Mumu, who was packing up her belongings from last night one by one, felt helpless after hearing this. "My dear, your junior high school education wasn't just superficial, it was an ocean!"

Because it's a world of beast taming, Ning Bao was admitted exceptionally due to her outstanding performance in beast taming battles. All the entrance exam papers were written by Mu Mu, the pet beast Ning Bao had a contract with.

So, Ningbao's junior high school education has absolutely nothing to do with her academic level; it's all thanks to her fighting skills and Mumu's external brain.

Mu Mu was even more worried. Although she didn't know what the other pets in Ning Bao's spiritual sea were thinking, she felt she would go crazy if she had to stay in Ning Bao's spiritual sea and couldn't come out to help.

Meanwhile, Wen Ya is currently playing mahjong in his mental world:

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Ha, it's burnt!"

"I told you to listen to me!"

Tao Tao, who has two souls in one body, finds the other lost child inside her really noisy:

"We still lost the last game even though we listened to you!"

……

As for worrying about Ningbao, well, Sister Mumu has already gone out, so there shouldn't be any problems.

It's really not their fault. How old is Ningbao? The longest contract they've had is less than a year. Emotionally speaking, they can't compare to Mumu, who raised Ningbao from a young age.

After all, the Beast Taming Contract doesn't suddenly make the Beast Tamer and the Beast become particularly close. It mainly depends on the gradual adjustment over time, and that takes time.

So, apart from Mumu, the other kids and Ningbao are in a situation where they are very important, more important than ordinary friends, but not quite that important.

Of course, this feeling is mutual, because Ningbao doesn't care about the other kids as much as Mumu does. It was Mumu who raised Ningbao, and it was Mumu who worried about Ningbao every day, so how could they be the same? They simply can't be the same.

Mumu values ​​Ningbao and Fengyuan more than her own life, and vice versa.

As for the other kids, let's take it slow and see how things go. You can't rush things. After five or six years of getting to know each other, our relationship will naturally grow closer.

Well, if things don't fall apart along the way.

There will only be one update today because I'm packing my bags to go home for New Year's Day ('ω')

Other pet cubs will appear later, one cub per small world, randomly selected.

With more experiences and shared hardships, Ningbao's relationship with the other children will improve. She's been too comfortable before, so her relationship with the other children hasn't made any significant progress; it's remained in a delicate state of being close, but not quite that close.
