Chapter 164: Are You Handling Matchmaking Now?
Yu Beixuan figured Si Er had most likely been teleported to Vermilion Bird Mountain again. So while picking spiritual plants, he headed east.
Si Er already knew that Yu Beixuan was on Black Tortoise Mountain. As he gathered spiritual plants along the way, he led Lu Taiping northward.
In the end, they met at the border between Vermilion Bird Mountain and Black Tortoise Mountain.
At that moment, Si Er and Yu Beixuan saw only each other. Si Er forgot about Lu Taiping. Yu Beixuan didn’t even notice Lu Taiping.
“Xuanxuan!”
Si Er happily threw himself into Yu Beixuan’s arms. Yu Beixuan embraced him just as joyfully.
At the same time, Yu Bei Tiger pounced forward and gave Mengmeng a hug.
“Mengmeng, I missed you so much!”
Mengmeng nodded blankly. “Oh… oh…”
It didn’t quite understand why this little black tiger missed it. Weren’t their attributes in conflict?
Still, one doesn’t slap a smiling tiger. The little black tiger always looked delighted to see it. Mengmeng couldn’t bring itself to give it the cold shoulder.
Besides, with the other party liking it so much, it couldn’t really hate him either. Sometimes, it even thought the little black tiger was kind of cute.
Yu Bei Turtle jumped from Yu Beixuan’s shoulder onto Si Er’s head and began transmitting frantically to Mianmian.
“Mianmianmianmianmian…”
“Mianmian, I miss you! Say something to me!”
Mianmian: [(??)]..zzZ
Yu Beixuan got a headache hearing the nonstop calls. He reached out, took Yu Bei Turtle down, and knocked it unconscious.
Since Yu Bei Turtle was still very young, he couldn’t knock it out with a single punch like he would an Ice Python.
He first gripped its shell, then curled his fingers as if about to flick its forehead.
Yu Bei Turtle knew its forehead wasn’t protected by the shell and couldn’t withstand his flick.
So every time, it instinctively withdrew its head into the shell—even though that didn’t really help.
Because once it tucked in, Yu Beixuan would simply flick the shell instead, vibrating it until it passed out.
Si Er watched in confusion. “What are you doing, Xuanxuan?”
Yu Beixuan smiled. “It’s Yu Bei Turtle’s nap time. But it can’t fall asleep on its own, so I helped it a little.”
Si Er glanced at the sky. “It’s evening.”
Yu Beixuan adjusted smoothly. “As long as the sun hasn’t set, it still counts as afternoon.”
“And if it’s still afternoon, it can continue its nap.”
Si Er frowned slightly. “What if it’s morning?”
Yu Beixuan replied, “Morning also has ‘noon’ in it. It can still be called a nap.”
Si Er pressed on. “And at night?”
“At night it’s already bedtime. A freshly hatched little turtle should sleep obediently.”
“So it just sleeps the entire day like this?”
Yu Beixuan nodded. “Yes. A turtle’s life lies in stillness. Sleeping is perfectly normal.”
Si Er tilted his head. “But it doesn’t look like it actually wants to sleep.”
Yu Beixuan said firmly, “It’s still just a child! What does it understand?”
“It doesn’t know what’s best for itself.”
“But that’s fine. As its soul pet master, I know. I’ll properly supervise its sleep.”
Si Er looked at him. “You just find it noisy, don’t you?”
“….” Yu Beixuan was silent for a moment before nodding. “Er’er is so smart.”
Si Er grew a little worried. “But it seems similar to Mianmian. Mianmian can never sleep enough; this one can never eat enough.”
“If you keep knocking it out and not letting it eat more, won’t that cause problems later?”
Yu Beixuan shook his head. “It won’t. I feed it three full meals a day. After eating, it needs time to digest.”
“But it’s still young. Its behavior is driven by instinct. It only knows to keep eating and doesn’t understand moderation.”
“If I let it eat freely, it would absolutely stuff itself to death.”
“I see…”
Si Er gently patted the little turtle in Yu Beixuan’s hand. “Then let it sleep properly.”
Watching the two of them so immersed in each other—and recalling the earlier paired-off scene—Lu Taiping felt painfully superfluous. He wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Yu Bei Eagle, who was also being ignored, reacted differently. It looked at its love-struck master, then at the two equally love-struck teammates, and finally flew shyly in front of Si Er.
“Er’er, could you contract another eagle?”
“Huh?” Si Er stared at it in confusion. “Why would I contract another eagle?”
I don’t really want one… Even though eagles are cool and majestic, Xuanxuan already has one.
If Xuanxuan has one, I can look at it or pet it anytime. No need to contract the same thing.
I contracted the turtle because it can extend lifespan. The little white tiger was a coincidence, not intentional.
I think contracting spirit beasts should depend on fate. If I deliberately choose, I prefer not having duplicates around me.
Yu Bei Eagle, unaware of his thoughts, said shyly, “Yu Bei Turtle likes your little white turtle. Yu Bei Tiger likes your little white tiger.”
“I think you have good taste. If you contract a little white eagle too, then I’ll have a partner!”
“Of course, it doesn’t have to be white. I actually prefer something low-key and luxurious.”
Si Er was stunned speechless.
What does that mean? Am I running a matchmaking service now? I don’t handle that kind of business!
Guagua asked curiously, “What does a low-key luxurious bird look like?”
Yu Bei Eagle thought for a moment. “The feathers should be like a crow’s—colorful black.”
“But I don’t think crows look that good. Eagles look better. So the overall shape should still resemble an eagle. That way we’ll look like a proper couple.”
No sooner had it finished speaking than a black shadow shot toward it at high speed.
Yu Bei Eagle dodged quickly. “Who’s that? Which rascal is trying to ambush me?”
The black shadow, seeing it had missed, lunged again—only to be slapped to the ground by a wing.
Yu Bei Eagle looked down at the small crow beneath it in confusion. “A mere second-tier crow. How does it dare ambush me?”
Guagua laughed. “Crows hold grudges. It heard you say crows aren’t good-looking, so it wanted to teach you a lesson.”
“It figured that if it pecked all the feathers off your head, maybe you wouldn’t be so arrogant.”
“What’s there to fear?”
Though Yu Bei Eagle didn’t want to go bald, it refused to show weakness.
“My skin and feathers are black. Even if the feathers on my head are pecked off, others might not even notice!”
“Besides, that crow is weak. It can’t even peck me.”
