Chapter 384: Chapter 384

In the end, the only ones willing to learn were Tian Que, Bai Ya, Li Kui, and Da Bai.

Looking at the four beasts before him, Chen Jiuge said with satisfaction, "You are all good children, eager to learn."

Once he had activated the inheritance using the previous method, the four beasts went into seclusion.

The sun shone brightly; it was a beautiful day. Although Chen Jiuge himself controlled the weather in Eden Garden, it still uplifted one’s mood.

Swaying gently on a V-shaped bed, Chen Jiuge had a long straw in his mouth connected to a coconut tree one hundred meters away, streams of white coconut milk flowing into his mouth.

On the other side of the bed, Chen Ziteng and Yaoyao were happily romping around.

"Hahaha, Little Brother Jiuge, I’m here!" a hearty voice rang out.

Just as Chen Jiuge found the voice familiar, Yaoyao’s face lit up as she exclaimed, "Daddy!"

The figure of Ba Tianba appeared in the courtyard. He picked up Yaoyao and said, "Sweet daughter, Daddy’s here to pick you up."

"Get out of my sight!" A voluptuous woman in revealing attire appeared, sending Ba Tianba flying with a kick.

Looking at the large hole in the wall, Chen Jiuge’s mouth twitched. This must be Ba Tianba’s Daoist couple, he guessed.

"Little brother, thank you for taking care of my daughter. If there’s anything in the future, just give us a shout. My husband and I can surely lend a hand," Ba Jingjing said, looking at Yaoyao with a face full of motherly love.

Chen Jiuge silently nodded, not daring to interject. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noⅴelfire.net

"Jingjing, what’s this all about? How can you not give me face in front of an outsider?" Ba Tianba, a black footprint stark on his face, said with dissatisfaction.

"Get lost! It’s merciful enough that I haven’t beaten you to death. You actually dared to forget our daughter!" Ba Jingjing said fiercely.

Pulling Chen Jiuge into the house, Ba Tianba gave an awkward smile. "Don’t mind her; that wife of mine just has this temper."

"The main reason I’ve come to see you this time is to deliver the Sect’s rewards for the war in the Beastman Territory," Ba Tianba said, his face serious.

"Didn’t I say there was no need?" Chen Jiuge was not particularly interested in the reward.

"Come on, Jiuge, we’re old acquaintances. The Sect is rolling in it. Even if you don’t lack resources, it’s always good to have a little extra for the family. Besides, this time the rewards include some Spiritual Beasts."

"Hybrid Spiritual Beasts from the Infinite Star Sea are quite valuable," Ba Tianba reminded him.

"Oh, Spiritual Beasts? Now that’s something I’m interested in," Chen Jiuge said, his eyes lighting up.

Handing over a pinecone-shaped core, Ba Tianba said, "There’s no rush with this. The Cultivators from the Sect have already processed it. You just need to integrate this core into your Eden Garden’s core, and it will fuse directly."

"I’ve also come to see you about a personal matter," Ba Tianba said, looking somewhat sheepish.

"A personal matter?" Chen Jiuge asked, puzzled.

"My clansfolk also came up with us this time, and I’d like to place a batch of our young in your Shadowhorn City."

"Big Brother Ba, you don’t have confidence in the Myriad Beasts Sect?"

"That’s not it. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket, can you?" Ba Tianba sighed.

"Compared to other Divine Beasts, the Ba Snake clan has indeed weakened considerably. I also want them to spread out, to give them more chances, more hope for the future."

Chen Jiuge nodded in understanding. He would look after those Ba Snakes a bit.

The Ba Snake couple left quickly, without even checking how the little Ba Snakes were being settled.

After integrating the Pinecone Core into the Green Ox, Chen Jiuge also saw the Ba Snake younglings.

The Ba Snake younglings had eaten until their bellies were round, and now lay on the ground. With their plump bodies, round heads, and adorably silly eyes, they looked quite cute, resembling chubby, spicy red snacks.

Chen Jiuge stroked the head of a lazy Ba Snake and smiled. "I never expected Ba Snake younglings to be so cute. What a surprise."

But they are still a bit small now, he thought. I’ll have to let them grow a bit more before putting them in Shadowhorn City.

The largest among these Ba Snake younglings were only about two meters long, with a Cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm. The smallest were merely at Foundation Establishment, less than a meter in length—they must have been born very recently.

After settling the young Ba Snakes in a safe place, Chen Jiuge specifically instructed the Golden Iron Back Apes to remember to come and feed them every day, as the little ones were still young and needed good care.

Chen Jiuge had not initially intended to enhance these Ba Snakes, but he couldn’t resist. He casually drew upon the Bloodline of one of them. Damn this obsessive perfectionism! It compelled Chen Jiuge to enhance it completely.
