Chapter 555: Chapter 555
It took awhile before Tan Bingyu returned after beating up the bastards who insulted her before. When she got back to check on her dao companion, she saw the meat grilling over the fire but her lover was not around. Tan Bingyu felt a bit worried thinking that maybe that spirit beast at Huashen Realm had decided to eat him while she was gone. The snow around her slowly turned into ice as her emotions were almost out of control.
Until she heard Xue Renxue calling her from somewhere.
"Bing’er, I’m over here!"
"Where are you?" Tan Bingyu asked as she looked around and the snow around her returned to normal.
Xue Renxue responded, "Wife, look up. I’m here! The meat on the grill is almost cooked. Bring it over as well!"
Tan Bingyu glanced at the meat first and grabbed it, then she flew towards the cave which was owned by the snow leopard. She passed the meat to the Snow Leopard.
She only glanced at the Snow Leopard lying on his chest and said, "Here, eat more."
{You are giving it to me? Why?} The Snow Leopard Spirit Beast didn’t expect this as they intentionally left this part for her to eat.
Tan Bingyu said, "I might not be expert like my Mistress when it comes to medicine and treatment but based on the dullness of your fur and its texture, it means that you are greatly lacking in nutrition and haven’t eaten properly for days. Moreover, your wound is so deep that even though the surface has started to heal, the inner part is still fresh. Eat more to regain your strength."
After receiving the meat from Tan Bingyu the Snow Leopard was stunned for a moment and saw the female human bring out two glasses and fill it with something fruity yet filled with energy that makes him drool more than the meat.
Tan Bingyu served two glasses of flower and herbal milk tea for herself and her lover. "Drink this to help you digest the meat." Then she noticed the snow leopard staring at the cup in her hand and saw his drool strolling down.
She knew that the tea from her mistress is not ordinary but to think that even spirit beasts are attracted to it, this is something she didn’t expect.
Tan Bingyu offered her tea, "Do you want to drink tea as well?"
{Is it alright? It seems more precious than the grass outside.} The Snow Leopard Spirit beast said.
It had eaten a lot of immortal herbs and knew that even these herbs had a perfect way to eat it. But he is a beast that can’t control fire, that’s why cooked food is so attractive to him. But this tea is much more than that, there is a hint of divinity in it.
Tan Bingyu said, "It’s alright. This is something our mistress gave us. We can receive one every time we meet her. It was distributed to the family."
She brought out a huge bowl and filled it up with milk tea before giving it to the Snow Leopard. This Snow Leopard is a female and it loves flowers the most. That’s why it ventured into that polar bear’s territory because it had beautiful lilies grown on his land. Who would have thought she would get wounded in a fight and be unable to leave her cave until she is fully healed.
{Oh~ this is so delicious. The scent of flowers and herbs plus a bit of tangy fruit. This is amazing!} The Snow Leopard is openly praising the teas which it seems to like a lot.
Tan Bingyu also brought out a healing pill and placed it beside the bowl. She said, "This pill will fully cure your wounds. You should be careful next time."
"So that’s why you look so thin. Wait a minute, I will cook more meat for you," said Xue Renxue as he went down the ice wall and started cooking again.
Now that the Snow Leopard is more like a friend to them of course they are willing to treat them well. This made the Snow Leopard a bit awkward that she stopped drinking her milk tea.
Tan Bingyu noticed her actions and asked, "What’s wrong?"
{Why are you helping me? That grass is not that much useless. I ate it before and it gave me diarrhea. It’s not a good thing.}
"Don’t worry. To others this Ice Phoenix herb is nothing useful but for me and him, this is a treasure we couldn’t have. This immortal herb can help us purify our bloodline. We are descendants of Ice Phoenix. But as you see, the blood of humans is stronger in us, preventing us from wielding the powers of our ancestors." Tan Bingyu explained.
The Snow Leopard seems to know the use of this herb and was a bit surprised that the two humans who fed her were descendants of the Ice Phoenix. For as long as she could remember, maybe from her inherited memories, she can recall that her tribe had been saved by the Ice phoenix and sent them to the Nature Goddess to keep them safe. It was rather unfortunate that the Goddess of Nature still fell and to save them she could only lock them in her inner world which only had this much left safe after the death of her vessel. In short, she is a servant that serves the Ice Phoenix.
{Ice Phoenix’s descendant. You are talking about the real one from the Immortal Realm? Is he still alive!?}
The inquiry of the snow leopard spirit beast had left Tan Bingyu dumbfounded. Sadly, she had no idea what had happened to their ancestor after leaving this star. She is much more surprised as she felt that this snow leopard seems to know about their ancestor.
Tan Bingyu responded, "We don’t know what happened to our ancestors. The elders said that after picking up his bride, he left this world and went beyond. We don’t know his current situation."
{That’s too bad. Well, if he is alive you guys would most likely not need this grass. This is something that was born from his drool after sleeping on the grass and causing it to mutate.}
Tan Bingyu’s eyes narrowed when she heard how the Ice Phoenix Immortal Herb was grown. Even Xue Renxue who just returned with trays of meat in his hand almost fell off when he heard their conversation. Especially the one that involves the drool of the ice phoenix and all.
Xue Renxue mumbles, "I remember touching it before.
{Come on. Hundred years have passed. The drool no longer exists and the plant has already mutated for your use. No wonder it’s so effective on you two. After all, he is still your ancestor. Hahaha~}
After eating to her fullest and the healing pill took effect, the Snow Leopard which was just laying in the cave just now finally stood up. It looked so energized that it ran around its den.
{Woohoo~ my wounds are fully healed. Your medicines are so effective!}
"Of course. Those pills were made by the Divine Doctor herself. Of course, it’s potent," said Xue Renxue. "By the way, are you sure you don’t want to sign a contract with us and leave this place? In this hidden dungeon, we are among who are sure to come out alive~"
This is actually one of the reasons why the Snow Leopard chose not to sign a contract with them. She had tried signing a contract with one of the humans who visited this hall before. But after that human died in the other halls, she can only return to this place. After failing a few more times she already gave up leaving this dungeon.
The Snow Leopard Spirit Beast was bewildered as she couldn’t understand why these two are confident that they can leave this dungeon alive when only a few had escaped before.
{You are lying. You are even weaker than this sister. Moreover, aside from the Divinities Trials there are those Evil Divinities who wished for your deaths. It’s hard to come out and the last time one did was 1000 years ago and those were all successors of Divinities. This dungeon didn’t have any Ice or Snow God to accept you as successor.}
Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue didn’t expect that there would be no God or Goddess of Ice or Snow in this dungeon. They thought all kinds of divinities exist in this world.
"No God of Ice or Snow? Really?" Xue Renxue asked.
{Yes. I have been the Main Altar a few times before but... I didn’t see any Gods that possessed the dao of ice element or something like that. There are many treasures suitable for you little blue grass here.}
Tan Bingyu said, "So that’s why the Mistress is not telling us to actively do the trials as there is no way for us to become a successor." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovelfire.net
{Yes. Something like that. After I eat I will show you a place where more immortal herbs that fit you grow. Though it might not be as effective as the grass, it will be completely compatible with you. Especially this brat who had both fire and ice in his body. It’s insane that he hasn’t exploded yet. That is thanks to your cultivation technique I guess.}
{Also about that contract thing, I will think about it again.}
The couple was delighted to hear that this new fur friend of theirs would think of signing a contract with them. Just a bit more of a push, more likely when we showed the fact that we can survive and come out alive of this dungeon that this cute friend will definitely sign a contract with them. Actually, that was a bit easy. They only need to let her meet their mistress or that dangerous man beside her.
