Chapter 950: Chapter 950

"It’s the Spirit Pet Bag," Nanli remembered that they had gained a new "family member."

She quickly opened the Spirit Pet Bag. A furry head with two horns poked out. Its bright red eyes were wide open and lively. It opened its mouth and let out a cry. Likely because it was still a young one, its voice was soft and cute, lacking any ferocity.

"Is this a Spirit Pet?" Shandu was amazed and approached it. "This is a Spirit Pet?!"

Since the Nine States’ spiritual energy had gradually dried up, this land had not been able to give birth to any Spirit Pets. Hence, he had never even seen a Spirit Pet Bag, let alone know what breed this little creature was.

Nanli brought out the little one and said, "It’s not a true Spirit Pet. Its mother is a Primordial Mythical Beast, but it has been nurtured by a bit of my divine power, and it can slowly cultivate an inner pill in the future."

Shandu marveled at the many opportunities that their couple had.

However, the little one was restless in Nanli’s hand, seemingly searching for something and crying out urgently. He sternly said, "You must not be naughty, Spirit Pet."

The little one turned to look at him. It seemed to have discovered something and suddenly rushed over.

Shandu was startled, but he didn’t dare to move inside the room, nor did he want to hurt the little one, so he didn’t dodge.

The little one didn’t harm him either.

It just bit onto the Qiankun Bag at his waist.

But because it was still small, its strength was insufficient, and its teeth were not sharp enough to tear off the Qiankun Bag.

It hung there like that.

Despite the discomfort, it refused to let go.

Shandu asked, "What’s wrong with it?"

Nanli called out, "Little one, let go."

The little one wouldn’t.

Nanli emphasized, "Stop fussing. I know you can understand. And even if you try harder, you won’t be able to bite through the Qiankun Bag."

Reluctantly, the little one let go.

It fell to the ground with a thud.

Its tail drooped, and it looked listless, as if it had no energy left.

Nanli finally figured out what it wanted and asked, "Are you hungry?"

The little one perked up and quickly wagged its tail.

Nanli felt a bit guilty. She had been so busy saving Cinian that she had neglected this little creature.

Although it was small, it still needed to eat.

She asked, "What do you want to eat? I’ll get some for you."

The little one turned and stared at Shandu’s Qiankun Bag, crying out.

Nanli tilted her head, "Shandu, what do you have in your Qiankun Bag?"

"Nothing much, just some spirit stones," Shandu replied. "Does it eat spirit stones?"

The little one quickly wagged its tail again.

Nanli sighed, "It’s not that it wants to eat spirit stones; it needs spiritual energy to fill its stomach, which is similar to how ocean beasts work."

However, the little one had its own bit of divine power, which had already formed its small Dantian, and it could transform spiritual energy into spiritual power. Cultivating an inner pill was just around the corner.

Moreover, Shandu was magnanimous and immediately took out more than ten high-grade spirit stones and placed them on the ground.

"Little one, right? Don’t be shy, go ahead and use them. If you need more, I’ll add some."

The little one was overjoyed.

It rushed straight towards the pile of high-grade spirit stones.

But it bumped into them and fell to the ground.

It looked pitiful, crying out in a sad and pitiful manner.

The little one was very hungry and, despite the pain, used its front paws to drag a spirit stone over, biting into it with its teeth.

It thought that by doing so, it could absorb the spiritual energy.

Shandu realized, "Nanli, it seems it doesn’t know how to absorb spiritual energy from the spirit stones."

Nanli: "I’ve noticed that too."

"From what I’ve read, spirit beasts can absorb the spiritual energy from the sky and earth as soon as they’re born. Why doesn’t it know how to do that?"

Nanli was both amused and frustrated, "Because it’s not a true spirit beast. Its heritage is from a mythical beast. Moreover, even spirit beasts need to learn how to absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones, which is different from absorbing the spiritual energy from the sky and earth."

He looked at it and felt a deep sense of compassion for the adorable creature, "So how do we teach it?"

The little one realized the problem as well.

No matter how hard it tried to bite and break the spirit stone, it couldn’t absorb the spiritual energy.

It looked up at Nanli with a sad expression, almost on the verge of tears.

Shandu became even more anxious, "Nanli, you have to teach it quickly! You are its master!"

How could he bear to see such a cute creature go hungry!

Nanli was also at a loss and said, "I’m half its master, but I’m not a spirit beast. My previous form wasn’t a spirit bird or anything like that."

"Didn’t you used to be a Divine Sovereign? Surely you must have had a divine beast or two under your command?" Shandu asked.

Nanli hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, I was the Death God. Although I had divine power, I often guarded the Nether World, and my body was tainted with a lot of underworld energy. A divine beast following me wouldn’t have much of a future."

"Moreover, there was a great upheaval in the Deity Domain. Many divine beast species were either wiped out or left with only a few eggs. Later on, there were hardly any Divine Sovereigns in the Deity Domain who could contract with a divine beast."

Shandu was bewildered by the information.

He didn’t know much about the Deity Domain, but he was concerned about the little creature’s ability to absorb spiritual energy!

He asked, "So what do we do? Can we just let it starve to death?"

Nanli wanted to look for some books.

But she suddenly had an idea and rummaged through her Qiankun Bag.

She took out a small bag of pills.

These were the pills she had previously made for the ocean beasts to eat.

The pills contained a significant amount of spiritual energy, which the ocean beasts could use to fill their stomachs, and the little one should be able to do the same.

She poured out a pill and said, "Little one, can you eat this?"

Before she finished speaking, the little one had already rushed over.

With lightning speed, it bit and swallowed the pill.

It licked its lips and wanted to grab the bag of pills to eat its fill.

"Be careful!" Shandu was startled by its sudden ferocity.

However, Nanli quickly restrained it and sternly scolded, "You are by my side now. You must remember that you are a spirit beast and not act like you did in the North Wilderness."

The little one blinked, not quite understanding.

It just wanted to eat its fill.

Nanli continued, "You must not grab food with your hands. Do you understand?"

The little one still didn’t understand and kept staring at the bag of pills, crying out pitifully.

Shandu, still shaken, said, "Since it is a Primordial Mythical Beast, it may be difficult to tame and educate. Nanli, you and the Celestial Sovereign may have the power to control it, but once your child is born, it will be a threat."

He had once accompanied his master to deal with a mythical beast and had witnessed them devouring humans.

It seemed that this little creature had an unchangeable wild nature.

The little one understood what was being said.

They were hated it and wanted to get rid of it?

It became anxious and scared.

Its mother was already gone. It had come to see them as its father and mother.

But if its mother also hated it, it could...

It could just go back to the North Wilderness and live with the other mythical beasts.

Boohoo, it would be a bit sad, wouldn’t it...
