Once the grave was completed and the Echo Lion was buried, Qing Tian heard Magica's transformation complete.

[Evolution of Horned Knight compete.]

With an expectant gaze, Qing Tian looked at the Horned Knight.

With a spear in her hand, Magica looked around with a curious face before facing Qing Tian. She started at him for a while before breaking out into a large smile.

"Greetings Master!"

The enthralling voice of Magica entered his ears and Qing Tian felt his desire for her burn.

"Looks like your evolution went great," said Qing Tian as he checked her information.

[Horned Knight: Super Pet Beast Soul (Can evolve further.)

Gender: Female…]

'My theory was correct,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the little tag that says that Magica could evolve even further.

"Yes Master!"

Magica seemed very happy as she conversed with Qing Tian, ignoring the poor cub off to the side.

Rau!

Qing Tian turned to look at the cub and smiled, "What will you do now?"

The cub looked at Qing Tian for a second before jumping on Qing Tian and licking him.

"Ah! Alright! I get it, you're coming with us," said Qing Tian as he threw off the cub.

Magica frowned and glared at the Echo Lion cub, "Be glad Master let you come along."

The Echo Lion was still a child, so it didn't understand what Magica was saying. The only way it could answer was to meow and try to jump on her.

Ignoring both the Lion and Magica, Qing Tian went over to check on the remains of the Wise Guardian.

He had checked with his Heavenly Vision Technique that its body still contained a large life force, prompting Qing Tian to check its dead body.

Qing Tian smirked and remembered that there are many mysterious beasts and beings in the universe. It wouldn't be weird for one to be born from the corpse of a creature or to be reborn.

With a smile, Qing Tian grabbed the dead body of the Wise Guardian and cut it into four separate pieces.

Whilst Magica glared at the cub and the cub played with Magica, Qing Tian headed into his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal with the four wooden pieces of the Wise Guardian.

Planting them in four separate places, Qing Tian made sure they were watered before standing back and watching the process.

And sure enough, in just a few seconds after being planted, the Qi in the air of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was being sucked into the four wooden pieces.

Qing Tian used his Heavenly Vision Techniques and watched as the life force within the woods solely began to shine bright and grow.

It was a very slow process, but Qing Tian was confident in his Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to accomplish the task.

Exiting the Realm, Qing Tian returned to Magica and the Echo Lion cub.

The time hardly passed for both Magica and the Echo Lion, so all they saw was Qing Tian walking away and returning a short while later.

"If you're going to be with us, you will need a name," said Qing Tian with a serious look on his face as he put a finger on his chin.

Magica saw this and quickly said, "We don't need to think of a name for him Master, we can just ditch him and save our energy!"

Qing Tian glared at Magica and watched as she got down on her knees and slammed her own head on the floor.

"I apologize for my words, Master! Please forgive me!"

"Get up, you're forgiven," said Qing Tian as he waved his hand. 'Looks like I don't need to worry too much about her loyalty.'

Magica lifted her head and smiled brightly, a bit of blood trickling down from her forehead, "Thank you, Master!"

"Now, for your name… it will be Silence. It matches perfectly with your sound element and how quiet you've been compared to many young beasts I have met in the past," said Qing Tian as he patted the head of Silence.

"Be grateful, beast. Master has granted you your pet name," said Magica with a smirk.

Shaking his head at Magica's antics, Qing Tian turned her back into her non-combative form, her child-like version.

"…" Magica remained quiet as she looked at her smaller stature that her master had her return to. She loved looking mature, drawing in her master's attention on her body and alluring him.

However, she soon didn't mind being small as Qing Tian lifted her and placed her on top of the Echo Lion and he sat behind her.

She leaned back on Qing Tian and enjoyed the slow walk of the Echo Lion cub as they went back to the two girls.

The mother Echo Lion's life essence was with them and so were the wood and sound Life Essences.

'These will serve good for the two girls so that they can increase their Super Geno Points instantly,' said Qing Tian as he thought about completing the Restoring Balance Array.

He just needed four points to complete and now he can justify their speed increasing with the Super creature Echo Lion.

'I can increase his speed with the Youth Cherries I got earlier. This cub is barely a year old,' thought Qing Tian as he thought about bringing out five Youth Cherries. 'It might bring some unexpected effects and it might prompt me to give it a Divine Marionette Pellet instead of saving it for Han Sen so that he can feed it to the Silver Fox.'

Qing Tian continued thinking about it and decided to use it. After all, he might be able to make the Elixir version of the Divine Marionette Pellet. Since he couldn't make flames with his energy in this universe, he should still be able to make Elixirs by slowly using his energy whilst making the Elixir.

A potion could work fine too in case the Elixir doesn't work out.

However, Qing Tian decided to wait a bit before giving the Echo Lion cub a Divine Marionette Pellet. It wouldn't do much to give it to the Echo Lion cub now.

As they traveled on it's back, Qing Tian noticed that the Echo Lion cub was getting sad. Obviously still not over the death of it's mother.

Qing Tian sighed and patted the head of the Echo Lion cub before saying, "It's okay little guy. We'll make sure you live a life your mother would be proud of."

The Echo Lion cub's ear perked up and mewed lightly, understanding Qing Tian a small bit. Despite not knowing, from Qing Tian's days of being a beast himself in his past life, Qing Tian was more or less still able to speak with animals that had intelligence.

Although he won't be able to understand them much if it wasn't for his high EQ and his understanding of various emotions. His inhuman sense only made it more simple to understand what the Echo Lion was thinking.

Thank you.

Qing Tian widened his eyes before chuckling and patting the Echo Lion cub's head once more.

"No problem kiddo."

"Please pat my head too, Master!" begged Magica as she reached for Qing Tian's hand and then placed it on her own head.

"Haha," chuckled Qing Tian as he patted Magica's head too.

…

Qu Lili and Ji Yanran had already finished packing their things. Qing Tian was gone for a long time, which was only as long as it was because of the slow ride back to the girls.

"Looks like you girls finished with setting up everything," said Qing Tian as he jumped off the Echo Lion cub with Magica.

"Yeah! Wait, who's the little girl in armor?" asked Qu Lili as she looked at the girl with wonder.

"I'm not a little girl! I'm a grown woman! I'm Master's Knight!" said Magica as she separated herself from Qing Tian and proudly announced herself as she puffed up her chest and slapped her hand on her chest.

'Grown woman?' Qing Tian thought about it for a minute. 'How old is she? Does the time before she was a beast soul count? Or is it from when she gains intelligence?'

"..."

Qu Lili and Ji Yanran were shocked by Magica, surprised by the fact that she could talk. They both knew for sure it wasn't a human since humans who enter the Sanctuaries before they're 16 either die or are disabled for life.

So they knew that she was either a beast soul pet or a humanoid creature.

"Wow! So cute!" Qu Lili said as she hugged Magica and rubbed her cheeks against Magica's.

Ji Yanran also did the same but instead pinched Magica's cheeks.

"Let go! Let go! Letgoletgoletgoletgo...!" Magica began complaining like a little girl, waving her arms around as she wished to be put down by Qu Lili.

Qu Lili only smiled and slowly let Magica down with a bubbly aura around her. Ji Yanran was a bit more reserved and stood behind Qu Lili with a smile of her own.

"Only Master can hug me and pinch my cheeks!" said Magica with a blush on her small face.

Qing Tian chuckled and shook his head before introducing them to each other.

"Qu Lili… Ji Yanran, this is Magica, my Super Pet beast soul- ahem, my knight," said Qing Tian as he felt Magica's cute glare. "Magica, like before, this is Qu Lili and Ji Yanran. Treat them well, okay?"

"Okay!" said Magica as she nodded to Qing Tian with a smile.

Qu Lili and Ji Yanran both heard Qing Tian and turned to look at him.

Ji Yanran asked the question on both their minds, "Like before? What does that mean?"

"Yeah, Magica met you both when you had fallen asleep for a whole day. She helped keep me some company," said Qing Tian before giving them a smirk. "So, tell me why it doesn't surprise you that she's capable of speech despite being a pet beast soul?"

"Well, because you said she was a Super beast soul," said Ji Yanran with a tilt of her head.

Qing Tian smiled and shook his head, "Despite that, pet beast souls shouldn't have the ability to speak at all. She's an exception because she has extraordinary intelligence."

"What?"

Both girls were shocked by Qing Tian's words and turned to look at the proud Magica with wide eyes.

"So Super beast souls aren't that different from normal beast souls?" asked Qu Lili.

Qing Tian nodded and said, "That's right. Though I'm not too sure about Super Pet beast souls. Mount beast souls on the other hand are rather special. They keep their special features from when they were alive, like their abilities and their personality/aura. They're allowed to attack other creatures like pet beast souls, except that their damage output is really low."

Qu Lili and Ji Yanran were even more shocked at the words of Qing Tian's. However, Qing Tian was also mildly surprised by what he said.

'Super pet beast souls… why can't they evolve further?' thought Qing Tian. 'Do they need a special requirement to evolve to the next Sanctuary?'

Qing Tian remember's how Han Sen had super pet beast souls in the other sanctuaries, however they never had the ability to further evolve. Qing Tian began to think whether there was some requirement they perhaps needed to be completed before evolving.

Pet beast souls can continue eating even after they evolve and unlock their battle forms. So there's a huge chance that there is either a Fruit or life Essence that they need to eat in order to continue evolving.

'I can try with the Super Sea Monkey,' thought Qing Tian as he looked at the various Life Essences he has and the various fruits he had already gathered before.

He had various life essences he had gathered around in this trip, but none were of the water attribute sadly.

'Will I have to travel to the sea or something?' Qing Tian thought as he began to think of ways to get the Super Pet Beast souls to evolve further.

Qing Tian began to think about various solutions, preparing for the future and for methods to take care of his family and future wives.

Besides seeking strength, Qing Tian also searched for ways to protect his women and family. He had arrays that could help to protect, but having some pet Beast souls would also serve well for further protection.

'But this is also to satiate my own curiosity,' thought Qing Tian with a smile on his face.
