Chapter 20: Third Disciple, Wang Qiuer
Chapter 20: Third Disciple, Wang Qiuer
In the Starry Sky Forest, Bai Yuan and Bai Yu hurriedly made their way back.
The Three-eyed Golden Chi calmly waited in Bai Yuan's arms. It would occasionally affectionately rub its head against him or lick his face.
Bai Yu looked on with a hint of jealousy. She felt that her master's affection for her was being taken away, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
They ran all the way back, perhaps due to the Three-eyed Golden Chi's enhanced luck, as they encountered no dangerous situations.
Outside the big tree, Bai Yuan didn't plan to take the Three-eyed Golden Chi inside. Instead, he directly fed it a Beast Transformation Pill.
This time, Bai Yuan didn't pinch its face, leaving everything to the Three-eyed Golden Chi to transform on its own.
After swallowing the Beast Transformation Pill, the Three-eyed Golden Chi seemed to understand what changes it would undergo.
It then carefully observed Bai Yuan from all angles, and after scrutinizing Bai Yu for a while, it melted into a burst of white light and transformed like liquid before solidifying again.
In the end, a girl who looked very similar to Bai Yuan and Bai Yu appeared in Bai Yuan's arms. She had an average height, taking the average of both Bai Yuan and Bai Yu. She had golden eyes and golden hair, with vertical pupils on her forehead.
Bai Yuan's mouth twitched.
Why did everything have to take the average of him and Bai Yu?
Couldn't it have a bit of its own uniqueness?
Moreover, why did it manifest vertical pupils on its forehead?
As if it was afraid that others wouldn't know it was not human?
Bai Yuan looked at the girl speechlessly. He casually waved his hand, and a clothing artifact appeared out of thin air.
It was something he had prepared for his disciples a long time ago. It didn't have any special abilities; it was just not easily damaged, and it wouldn't get dirty easily. It could also adjust its size according to the person's body shape.
Bai Yuan draped the clothing artifact over the girl. With his thoughts, the artifact changed, finally becoming a beautiful ancient-style dress.
Bai Yuan placed the Three-eyed Golden Chi on the ground and helped her stand firmly. He said, "From now on, you are my third disciple, Wang Qiuer. Do you understand?"
As an Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-eyed Golden Chi was favored by heaven and earth. It was born with intelligence and could understand human language.
Wang Qiuer threw herself into Bai Yuan's arms, rubbing her head against him while saying in a childish voice, "Understood, daddy."
Bai Yuan corrected her with a speechless expression, "Qiuer, I am your master, not your daddy."
Wang Qiuer nodded and said, "Understood, master daddy."
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully accepting a disciple."
After receiving the system's prompt, Bai Yuan, even though he felt speechless, didn't have any intention to continue correcting it. Anyway, he just wanted Wang Qiuer as his disciple. Whether to call him "Master" or "Master Daddy" was secondary; Bai Yuan didn't mind at all. The third rank was given to Wang Qiuer because he didn't include Xiao Wu in the count.
"Bai Yu, from now on, you'll be responsible for taking care of Qiuer. Remember to teach her human habits like eating, drinking, going to the restroom, and grooming, just like I taught you before. Understand?" Bai Yuan looked at the girl, who was much taller than Bai Yu, and then turned to Bai Yu.
"Master, how am I supposed to teach her? She's so much taller than me; how can I discipline her?" Bai Yu looked helplessly at Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan didn't care and said, "I don't care. After all, I already taught you, and now you will take care of your Third Junior Sister and Second Junior Sister."
Bai Yuan patted Wang Qiuer's head and said, "Go find your senior sister to guide you; I have something to do."
Wang Qiuer looked up at Bai Yuan for a while, but in the end, she let go of his hand and turned to hug Bai Yu. While affectionately licking Bai Yu's face, she asked, "Mother, how should you teach me?"
Bai Yu corrected her, saying, "It's Big Senior Sister."
Wang Qiuer nodded and said, "Big Senior Sister Mother, how do you teach me about human habits?"
Bai Yu didn't want to answer, but Bai Yuan had already entered his Second Disciple's consciousness.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was eating the millet porridge she had cooked. On the side, there were two extra bowls, seemingly prepared for Bai Yuan and Bai Yu.
Pushing open the wooden door, Bai Yuan looked at Ning Rongrong, who was eating, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
According to his expectations, Ning Rongrong should have run away while he was away and gotten trapped in the illusion array. Then, when Bai Yuan returned, he would let her out, completely cutting off her escape thoughts. But surprisingly, Ning Rongrong hadn't run away.
"Master Bai, you're back," Ning Rongrong stood up, turned her head, and filled a bowl of millet porridge for him, looking like a delicate little wife.
Bai Yuan walked expressionlessly to the dining table, sat down, and began to drink the millet porridge with a wooden spoon.
To be honest, Ning Rongrong's cooking wasn't that great, and it could even be described as barely edible since she had just started learning. But millet porridge was easy to make, and Ning Rongrong managed to make it edible; it was not as unappetizing as the vegetables she cooked last night.
"Master Bai, where's Sister Bai Yu?" Ning Rongrong asked while serving Bai Yuan a plate of pickled vegetables he made.
Bai Yuan continued eating the vegetables and replied with a mouthful of millet porridge, "She's busy taking care of the little one."
"Little one?" Ning Rongrong was puzzled.
At this moment, Bai Yu entered with Wang Qiuer.
Ning Rongrong hurriedly went to the kitchen and took two more bowls and spoons, filling them with millet porridge.
"Big Senior Sister Mother, what is this?" Wang Qiuer held the small spoon and wobbled it around. She looked more like a two or three-year-old child than a teenage girl.
Ning Rongrong almost spit out the millet porridge in her mouth.
Big Senior Sister Mother?
Ning Rongrong looked at the short, white-haired little loli and then shifted her gaze to Wang Qiuer, who was almost her height.
At this moment, she also noticed the vertical pupils on Wang Qiuer's forehead.
"What are you looking at? I'm much older than her. She's just a little kid who was born not long ago," Bai Yu said expressionlessly, not answering Wang Qiuer's question at all.
A little kid who was just born?
Ning Rongrong lowered her head, her eyes flickering. She could see that Wang Qiuer was not human!
Bai Yuan had no choice but to say, "Qiuer, that's a spoon, and this is how you use it."
Bai Yuan demonstrated it, then took Wang Qiuer's spoon and fed her a mouthful of porridge with great patience.
"Thank you, Master Daddy," Wang Qiuer said with a slight smile, showing her innocent and pure smile.
Then she imitated Bai Yuan's actions, but her movements were slow and clumsy, making her look foolish.
Ning Rongrong's expression became even more peculiar.
At this moment, a loud rumble suddenly came.
Bai Yuan and the others felt the earth tremble slightly.
"What's going on?" Bai Yuan was puzzled.
Bai Yu put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "Master, Second Junior Sister said she saw powerful beings fighting high up in the sky."
Bai Yuan's face darkened. For such a loud commotion, it had to be a Title Douluo-level expert or above.
"Is it people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Spirit Hall? Or are they all here? And who are they fighting?" Bai Yuan analyzed in his mind.
After all, the news of "Reincarnating the Beast, Ten Thousand Years of Cultivation" had been leaked, and the Spirit Hall could not afford to not send anyone. However, whom were they fighting? It couldn't be that the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were fighting with Spirit Hall's Title Douluo-level experts, right?
"Roar!"
A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth. Even though the place where the intense battle was taking place was still far away from them, Ning Rongrong felt dizzy from the impact.
In an instant, Bai Yuan had made a judgment.
This wasn't a fight between humans; it was a battle between humans and Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts, or maybe even savage beasts.
