Chapter 153: Feeding the Young
Hearing Yu Bei Tiger’s complaint, Yu Beixuan didn’t get angry. In fact, he preferred it this way—he had no desire to compete with Mengmeng. He only wanted to be on the same team as Mengmeng.
Si Er smiled. “Then let Yu Bei Tiger and Mengmeng be on one team—”
Before he could finish, Yu Bei Tiger said bashfully, “Er’er, we’re already so close. Calling me by my full name feels distant. Why not use my nickname?”
“Nickname?” Si Er didn’t react at first.
“Weiwei! As in the ‘wei’ from mighty and powerful! Did you forget, Er’er?” Yu Bei Tiger looked at him in disbelief. “I thought you had a good memory!”
“Enough.” Yu Beixuan smacked Yu Bei Tiger lightly on the head. “It’s such a trivial thing. What’s there to remember?”
“It’s trivial to you, but it’s a lifelong matter to me,” Yu Bei Tiger said aggrievedly.
Si Er couldn’t help laughing. “Alright then. Weiwei and Mengmeng will be one team. Yu Bei Wolf and Yu Bei Eagle will be the other. Let’s see which team brings back more Black Tortoise Tokens.”
“But don’t snatch anything from the students of Black Tortoise Academy.”
“Okay!” the little white tiger nodded obediently.
Yu Bei Tiger then asked, “Is there a reward for the winning team?”
Yu Beixuan replied, “The winners get double monthly allowances. As for the little white tiger, it belongs to Er’er, so that’s up to him.”
Yu Bei Tiger immediately raised a paw. “I think Mengmeng should be given some Flowing Light Moon Jade Dew. If that’s not available, Heavenly Star Jade Dew would work too.”
“Newly hatched cubs still need milk. But back then, Xuanxuan didn’t understand. Before my teeth had even grown properly, he made me chew dried meat. My teeth almost didn’t grow in!”
Yu Beixuan shot him a sideways glance. “Aren’t your teeth just fine? Keep talking nonsense and I’ll press them back in for you.”
Yu Bei Tiger quickly covered his mouth and shook his head frantically.
Si Er asked curiously, “That Flowing Light Moon Jade Dew—is it milk?”
Guagua shook its head. “Not exactly. But it has a milky taste and contains nutrients similar to breast milk. It also has less baleful energy than actual milk, making it very suitable for young spirit beasts.”
“Many spirit beasts don’t have mother’s milk for their young. In those cases, soul pet masters will find milk from a similar species—or even higher-grade beast milk.”
“If they have the means, they’ll search for Jade Dew.”
“Some people joke that Jade Dew is milk prepared by the heavens for younglings. It even has another name—Heavenly Milk.”
“The two types Yu Bei Tiger mentioned are both light-attributed, which would benefit Mengmeng the most.”
“Besides those two, there are Jade Dews of many other attributes on the continent.”
Si Er couldn’t help smiling. “It really does sound like heaven-sent mother’s milk. Alright, if we’re lucky enough to come across some, we’ll get a bit.”
It’s perfectly normal for babies to like milk. Mengmeng and Mianmian are both babies. Guagua isn’t that big either!
If we run into it, we’ll collect extra.
Yu Beixuan felt that Si Er was just too softhearted. Yu Bei Tiger had only mentioned it casually, yet Si Er had already taken it to heart.
Although it had been his fault to feed dried meat directly to a hatchling, that didn’t mean they should give soul pets whatever they asked for!
These little brats were experts at pushing their luck. Spoil them too much and they’d become little tyrants.
Si Er then asked, “If they aren’t fed something similar to mother’s milk, will it have any bad effects?”
Guagua shook its head. “Not really. It’s just better to have it. If not, they’ll still be fine.”
“I didn’t have milk when I hatched either, and I turned out alright.” Guagua licked its lips. “But I was lucky. There was a melon patch where I hatched. I had watermelon every day. It doesn’t wear down the teeth.”
It took another big slurp of juice. “Still, the watermelon juice here with Er’er is sweeter.”
After settling the reward issue, Guagua took both Si Er’s and Yu Beixuan’s maps and circled all the locations where Black Tortoise Tokens remained.
“Alright, go look for them. All the tokens that haven’t been found yet are marked here.”
After saying that, Guagua lay down on Benben’s back, looking thoroughly content.
Black Tortoise Mountain carried a bone-chilling coldness that made Guagua uncomfortable.
But lying on Benben’s back felt warm and safe.
In a low voice, Guagua said, “Er’er, I think something’s off about this place. Logically, aside from dark attributes that counter us, ice or fire shouldn’t affect us much.”
“So why have we been alternating between hot and cold ever since entering Four Symbols Mountain…”
As it pondered, searching through information about Four Symbols Mountain in its mind, Si Er spoke up before it could recall it.
“It’s because Four Symbols Mountain uses a special formation, similar to the one Di Lintian used. It gives people subtle mental suggestions.”
“But Di Lintian’s soul power is only at the level of an average genius in the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts, so it has no effect on us.”
“The one who set up the formation here, however, was apparently a powerhouse who nearly advanced to Soul Saint. With our current strength, we can’t resist it.”
Guagua asked curiously, “How do you know all that?”
It’s written in the script of that outsider Heavenly Dao.
Si Er couldn’t help complaining inwardly.
Even though a lot of the plot is written like trash, it does provide plenty of information.
Whenever he had free time, Si Er would go over that so-called “original script” again and again, practically polishing it smooth in his mind and extracting quite a bit of useful knowledge from it.
Yu Beixuan casually patted the Black Tortoise bouncing nonstop on his shoulder, pretending he was deaf and had heard nothing.
The Black Tortoise transmitted its voice to him: “Xuanxuan, can you stand a little closer to Er’er? I miss Mianmian. I want to see it.”
“What’s the point?” Yu Beixuan replied speechlessly. “It’s always sleeping. It won’t respond to you.”
“Whether it responds or not, I still want to look at it,” the Black Tortoise said seriously. “Just being able to see Mianmian makes me happy. If it responds to me, I’d be even happier.”
Yu Beixuan felt increasingly speechless. This love-brained turtle was even worse than Yu Bei Tiger.
Just then, Si Er beckoned to Yu Beixuan with a finger, and Yu Beixuan immediately moved closer.
“Er’er, you were looking for me?”
Si Er smiled. “Mengmeng and the others have gone to search for tokens. We can’t just sit idle.”
“The environment on Black Tortoise Mountain seems suitable for your cultivation, Xuanxuan. Why not cultivate here?”
“I’ll help you digest the baleful energy when needed.”
Black Tortoise Mountain contained a certain amount of dark-element energy that Yu Beixuan could absorb. However, in the process, he would inevitably take in some baleful energy.
He could absorb it, but it tended to cause indigestion for him. Fortunately, Si Er could help refine it.
Yu Beixuan sighed. “I remember your dream used to be becoming a salted fish supported by the academy—food and lodging included. But now you’re just…”
Si Er blinked. “How do you know that was my dream?”
Yu Beixuan’s expression didn’t change. “I guessed.”
“You guessed pretty accurately, Xuanxuan…”
Si Er looked at him suspiciously. Had Yu Beixuan really come to understand him that well already?
