Chapter 389: Chapter 389

"What do you do at the Xuanwu Family?" Wang Yanyu asked, looking for a topic to chat about instead of thinking about those awkward things.

"I'm mainly responsible for the monster beast pens, taking care of monster beasts." Xiaoyao replied. There was no need to mention the secondary things—saying them all would be a long list and too troublesome. Google seaʀᴄh novelꜰire.net

"Taking care of monster beasts—what kinds are there?" Wang Yanyu asked curiously.

"The ones I take care of are all very ordinary, like Fire Cloud Beasts, Snow Mountain Foxes..." Xiaoyao wasn't annoyed and listed the names one by one. It was all just casual conversation anyway.

"Those? I've read some books about monster beasts..." Wang Yanyu began revealing things that surprised Xiaoyao again. She was actually proficient in knowledge about these monster beasts—at least she knew all the theoretical knowledge.

This Wang Yanyu really was a wonderful person. She seemed to understand a bit of everything. However, it appeared that what she knew should all be from books—just theoretical, with seemingly zero practical experience. Xiaoyao had specifically tested this.

This made Xiaoyao like Wang Yanyu more and more. He wasn't as resistant to chatting with her as before. Actually, talking about topics he was interested in was quite interesting.

"It's almost the third watch. Those servants will soon start work. Let's end here for today. Come here early tomorrow—this queen can still teach you quite a few things." Time passed unknowingly, and Wang Yanyu also ended this conversation.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!" Xiaoyao bowed.

"Then court is dismissed!"

Hearing Wang Yanyu's laughter, Xiaoyao shook his head and went to the beast pens to start preparing things. His energy was now sufficiently restored—he didn't need to rest anymore. He'd finish work early, visit other places early, then chat with that "Your Majesty the Queen" at night.

Now, Xiaoyao's life had this additional routine: every day after finishing work, he would cultivate until dawn, then go to the top of the wall and continue cultivating while chatting with Wang Yanyu.

Every day, Wang Yanyu would share one or two mental cultivation methods or martial techniques—this was what she had promised Xiaoyao. Basically, these never repeated, and most were unknown to Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao hadn't been on this land for very long. He had only occasionally encountered some mental cultivation methods and martial techniques, but not many, and they were all relatively ordinary.

Although what Wang Yanyu shared was all basic, it wasn't ordinary. They were all things Xiaoyao had never seen. Although some had realms that overlapped with what he knew, he could still gain some benefits.

Even when encountering things Xiaoyao already knew, he didn't say anything and continued listening. What she described here was also somewhat different from before—Wang Yanyu seemed to explain things more comprehensively.

After finishing with cultivation methods and martial techniques, Wang Yanyu would chat with Xiaoyao about everything under the sun. From these conversations, Xiaoyao further understood that this Wang Yanyu not only knew cultivation methods and martial techniques, but also understood astronomy and geography, ancient and modern history, and so on. As long as you could think of it, she knew it.

This Wang Yanyu was simply a walking library. He didn't know why she read all kinds of books and had photographic memory. Her theoretical knowledge was extremely powerful—even Xiaoyao felt inferior in some aspects.

At the same time, Xiaoyao discovered that Wang Yanyu had read so many books and had photographic memory, which was why she remembered so much theoretical knowledge. But in practical matters, she was a complete zero—she knew nothing practical.

But this seemed irrelevant to Xiaoyao. Now that he had such a human-shaped library, he naturally wanted to dig deep into it, or it would be a waste.

Thus, the time Xiaoyao spent chatting with Wang Yanyu at night grew longer and longer, almost two or three hours every day, sometimes even more!

Such nights continued. Xiaoyao didn't ask Wang Yanyu why she was here every night, nor did he ask why she seemed to never need sleep.

First, there wasn't much opportunity—he didn't want to waste time on this. Most importantly, he wanted to hear useful things. Second, he felt it would be better if she told him herself.

Another three months passed. Xiaoyao continued his daily studies, periodically sending pills and martial insights to Guxing and the Young Miss.

The Young Miss finally broke through to Saint Level two months ago, slightly faster than Nangong Suxin. Their status at White Deer Academy rose dramatically. They were already key figures before, but now they were the key among keys.

The Young Miss and the others were different from Guxing—they acted very high-profile. Almost everyone at White Deer Academy knew of their existence, knew of these two prodigious talented girls who had defeated all former genius figures one by one.

Now it wasn't just White Deer Academy that knew them—other sects all knew too. Girls in their early twenties becoming Saint Level—they had to pay attention. Moreover, two appeared at once, demanding even more attention.

Some had already predicted that these two girls had limitless futures and would achieve excellent results in future sect competitions!

White Deer Academy, having the Young Miss and the other girl, valued them more and more, providing the richest resources. They could access all of White Deer Academy's books, including those of the highest level.

This was easy to understand. They had hope of reaching the highest levels, so those highest-level books were stepping stones prepared for them. As long as White Deer Academy could read the situation, they would give them these stepping stones. It was just borrowing anyway—no real loss.

White Deer Academy wanted that limitless glory of being in the top ten of the great competition, becoming one of the ten great sects!!

Back to the main point: whether it was Xiaoyao, Guxing, the Young Miss, or others, everyone was working hard, moving forward courageously on their own paths!

On this day, with bright sunshine, Xiaoyao was about to complete his great undertaking—finishing all the professional materials of the Xuanwu Family. Now only the ones he was least interested in remained.

When reading books, naturally you start with what interests you most. Xiaoyao was no exception!

While Xiaoyao was walking, he noticed some young masters and misses of the Xuanwu Family ahead. Under normal circumstances, Xiaoyao should go over, bow, and go around them.

But the current situation seemed somewhat abnormal. Xiaoyao felt he should return the way he came, because a dispute was happening ahead. Regardless of the reason for the dispute, as a servant, one must know to flee.

These disputes were often signs of danger. They would affect innocent bystanders, and most sadly, after their dispute, they might make up, making people feel it wasn't worth it.

Therefore, when encountering such situations, Xiaoyao would always avoid them. He didn't even have the thought of watching the excitement—he would flee decisively.

However, this time he encountered something special. A very cute little monster beast appeared beside him, with mysterious patterns of black and red, plus that red tail—very beautiful.

This was an ornamental pet monster beast with some ability, but almost negligible. It was called Fire-Tail Fox!

"Aowao..." The little Fire-Tail Fox called to Xiaoyao and rubbed against his pants leg, acting spoiled.

"Little thing, what's wrong? Let me take a look!" Xiaoyao habitually picked up the little Fire-Tail Fox and examined its condition. He didn't find this Fire-Tail Fox's behavior strange, because he had taken care of this little Fire-Tail Fox before.

Many of the little monster beasts in the Xuanwu Family had been cared for by Xiaoyao. Being affectionate with him was very normal.

"Have you been eating too much lately? Eat less!" Xiaoyao looked at the little Fire-Tail Fox's condition. Everything was fine—it just had some indigestion. He helped massage it a bit and treated it.

"Aowao..." The little Fire-Tail Fox immediately made sounds like laughter.

At this moment, Xiaoyao still didn't know that the young master and miss who had been in dispute earlier had stopped and were looking toward him, because the miss among them had been staring in Xiaoyao's direction, leaving the young master no choice but to look toward Xiaoyao as well.

The reason Xiaoyao hadn't noticed them was because they were quite far from him. What he was doing here shouldn't attract their attention. But he hadn't thought that this little Fire-Tail Fox belonged to that miss.

That miss looked at Xiaoyao with great surprise. She hadn't expected her little Fire-Tail Fox to be so close to this little servant Xiaoyao. This had never happened before. Not just with such a little servant—even with her close female friends, it had never acted spoiled .

This little Fire-Tail Fox had quite a personality. Except with her, it had never acted spoiled with others. No matter how you coaxed it, it wouldn't respond. Though those with good relationships could get close to it.

Now it was acting this way with a little servant she had never seen before. This puzzled her greatly.

So that miss walked toward Xiaoyao and looked at him...

Xiaoyao wasn't surprised why she would do this. It should be for the little Fire-Tail Fox in his hands. But since he was still massaging it, he didn't immediately return the little Fire-Tail Fox.

"Miss, this is yours, right? It has some indigestion. I massaged it a bit to help digestion. Please wait a moment—it'll be quick." Xiaoyao said while continuing the massage.

That miss looked at Xiaoyao and asked, "Are you from the monster beast pens?"

"Yes, miss!" Xiaoyao nodded. Just then the massage finished, so he put the little Fire-Tail Fox on the ground. He felt this miss probably wouldn't hold it—better let it follow on the ground.

After being put down, the little Fire-Tail Fox still rubbed against Xiaoyao's pants leg, acting spoiled for a moment before leaving Xiaoyao to follow its own master.

"Miss, young master, please continue with your business. This humble one will take leave first." Xiaoyao bowed to the miss in front and the young master who had come over, then excused himself to leave.

Under normal circumstances, Xiaoyao should now be able to escape and leave, just as the young master was thinking—he wished Xiaoyao would leave quickly so he could continue talking with the beauty before him.
