Chapter 13 Invincible Parents
The mundane task of lying flat was thus completed.
"...Boss Goose, you didn't skimp on my reward, did you?" Li Muyang looked at the small white fox in his arms, barely the size of his palm, and asked incredulously, "Isn't it supposed to be the Nine-Tailed Beast? Where did this white fox come from? Are you sure you didn't just grab an Arctic fox from some random corner and give it to me?"
Goose: "How is that possible! Apart from the color not matching, everything else is definitely the configuration of a juvenile nine-tailed fox!"
With such a guarantee, and given that the system template indeed showed a nine-tailed fox, Li Muyang, who was feeding the little fox, had no choice but to accept reality. In any case, this little white fox was definitely much cuter than Kurama! Its looks were definitely on point!
If you take him out, I wonder how many girls' hearts he'll steal.
As long as the configuration is the same, as for the color... wouldn't a white fox be better?
This little thing doesn't drink milk; it drinks a special spirit liquid for spirit beasts that Li Muyang bought.
Goodness, this little thing looks small, but its appetite is comparable to that of the Shennong Beast!
The Shennong Beast, who had downed three bottles of spirit liquid in one go, looked at Li Muyang expectantly: "Muyang, is there any more?"
"You should digest this first!" Li Muyang rolled his eyes and complained, "Don't drink it like a beverage! It's not that we can't afford it! I'm just afraid you'll overeat!"
"Cough cough, how could that be!" Shennong Beast patted its round belly, and then realized with its forelimbs that it had indeed drunk a bit too much, so it stopped. Can you imagine what a jade-spirited Shennong Beast looks like with its round belly? It's almost like a three-dimensional sphere!
The spirit liquid, specially made for spirit beasts, contains more spiritual energy and vitality. Its drawback is that it is also more violent, and its energy is difficult for normal humans to absorb. Only spirit beasts can withstand it.
When buying the elixir, Li Muyang specifically consulted a professional to have a simple and general check of the Shennong Beast's condition and to determine the appropriate amount it should drink, emphasizing that it shouldn't drink too much.
"By the way, is this little fox a brother or a sister?" Shennong Beast turned its attention to the little white fox in Li Muyang's arms, its eyes filled with a meaningful look.
If it's a little sister, she's so cute, she'll definitely spoil her! If it's a little brother... hehehe, cross-dressing isn't out of the question! Ahem, maybe that'll be the younger brother!
Li Muyang raised an eyebrow: "Don't you dare bully it... Let me see... Uh, Nine-Tailed Fox should be male, right? Little White seems to be female? Shennong Beast, are you male or female?"
The Shennong Beast complained, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by male and female? I'm a divine beast! Created by the Goddess Nuwa! Strictly speaking, I have no gender! In my subjective judgment, I should be male... oops! Male! You've got me all confused!"
After calming down the somewhat sullen Shennong beast and feeding the little white fox, Li Muyang took the two little ones and prepared to return to school. He was still at home.
Since we got this little white fox, it hasn't even opened its eyes. It just keeps gulping down spirit liquid, let alone speaking human language. It probably won't learn such advanced skills anytime soon. After all, it can't compare to the Shennong Beast. In a sense, this thing should be considered an ancient divine beast.
Before leaving, I successfully obtained the cells of the First Hokage. They were given to me by Hashirama Senju himself, but he repeatedly warned me to be careful. He knew all too well how dangerous his own cells were!
However, before studying this thing, Li Muyang first needs to settle one thing: sign an equal contract with these two, that is, a contract between spirit beasts and beast tamers.
Otherwise, Li Muyang wouldn't dare let the Shennong Beast live outside, always fearing that someone might have ulterior motives. In the days leading up to the mission, the Shennong Beast stayed inside Li Muyang's body. Now that there's a little white fox, she doesn't have the Shennong Beast's abilities, so she definitely has to be placed outside.
I'll probably have to contact my mom.
"Hello? Xiaoyang? What's up?" Li Muyang's mother, Xiao Xuanyan, spoke with a sharp and clear voice.
"I've met two spirit beasts that I click with, and I'd like to sign a contract with them." Li Muyang didn't waste any words. His mother didn't like nonsense; he just wanted her to get straight to the point. Beating around the bush would only annoy her.
Simply put, she's a straight woman.
"Where are you? I'll be right there."
"We'll be at the school gate soon."
The phone call ended as soon as I finished speaking.
Soon, just as Li Muyang reached the school gate, a special vehicle from the Public Security Bureau pulled up smoothly and steadily in front of him, no more, no less, just right.
"Get in the car." Li Ma rolled down the car window with an air of dominance.
Li Muyang calmly opened the door, picked up the little white fox, and got into the car.
"Is this little white fox the spirit beast you mentioned?" Li Ma glanced at the rearview mirror and could tell that this fox was no ordinary creature. While driving, she asked, "This fox... is it probably not a native creature of our Blue Star? It doesn't seem to be from the Qingqiu Secret Realm either? Its origin should be reliable, right? As long as it's trustworthy, that's fine."
"Aren't you going to ask me where I came from?" Li Muyang was a little curious. Why didn't his mother ask where he came from?
Li Ma smiled calmly: "Hehe, do you think your mother is naive? Our world is very complicated, with all kinds of secret realms emerging one after another, and countless extraordinary organizations operating in the shadows. Many of them are even outside the world, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them other worlds."
"You fox, it's obviously a newborn. This little guy, whose intelligence isn't even fully developed, you probably rescued him from somewhere, right? Which organization's laboratory?"
Well, Li Ma was very confident in her guess, but unfortunately she was wrong.
"Just take it that way." Li Muyang chuckled. "This little guy is just one of them. There's another one. We'll release him when we get to the Beast Tamer Association."
"Huh? I guessed wrong?" Upon hearing this, Li Ma knew her son well enough to know that if he said that, then she must have guessed wrong.
But she didn't mind, she just told him, "It's okay if I guessed wrong, as long as you trust me. You know how confidential your dad's work is, so don't touch anything from unknown sources."
"Of course I know that, don't worry," Li Muyang patted his chest and assured him.
Li Ma Xiao Xuanyan is now the head of the Public Security Bureau in North China. Before that, she was retired from the front line. It seems that she was injured during a mission and was transferred by her superiors. She has the cultivation level of the peak of the Integration Realm!
Currently, the cultivation realms on Earth can be roughly divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Body Integration, and Mahayana.
Above that are the legendary immortals.
The first two are foundational, equivalent to basic education. China emphasizes cultivation for all, with compulsory education, requiring at least a certain level of physical fitness. Otherwise, in this era, even self-defense is a major problem.
Li's father, Li Yunfei, works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The aforementioned spiritual liquid—well, he didn't invent it—but he increased its production and quality by more than ten times!
Moreover, according to Li Muyang's understanding, his father was also proficient in biology and mechanical engineering. The Spirit Liquid was an important task assigned by the Chinese government at the time, which he developed after a little research. He can be described as a superhuman genius in the scientific research field.
Therefore, there are quite a few spies, both overt and covert, which is why Li's mother reminded Li Muyang that although the information is kept confidential, it is hard to guarantee that no one will slip through the net.
With both his parents being so formidable, it's no wonder Li Muyang is under immense pressure!
They soon arrived at the Animal Trainers Association. With Li Ma leading the way, the association president personally came to greet them.
"Sister Xiao, are you here to inspect the work?" A burly man with a beard came running over with a smile.
Li Ma pointed to Li Muyang beside her: "Liu Liqun, Chairman Liu, you can just call him Uncle Liu. This is my son. He has adopted two spirit beasts. I would appreciate it if you could help him sign a contract, and also get a set of equipment for the spirit beasts."
"Okay!" Uncle Liu with the big beard looked obedient. Li Muyang was already used to it. His mother didn't look very old, but as far as he knew, she was probably over fifty... cough cough! His mother's age was a secret and couldn't be spread around.
If word gets out and she finds out, I'll get a spanking.
Being called "old man" by his mother meant that she trusted him, so Li Muyang naturally became even more polite.
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Liu." Li Muyang smiled shyly.
"Haha! No problem! Come with me." Liu Liqun laughed heartily, quite satisfied with Li Muyang's attitude. This young man is polite! He likes him! No wonder he's Sister Xiao's kid! He's so well-mannered!
They're much better than those nouveau riche who have little ability but are incredibly arrogant!
He enjoys entertaining wealthy, powerful, and well-mannered people like this. They are generous and can help build relationships. Not to mention, Sister Xiao in front of him saved his mother's life back then.
They soon arrived at a training room. The beast tamers in this world are somewhat like Pokémon trainers, except that as their intimacy with the spirit beasts increases and their level of skill improves, they can temporarily combine to enhance their combat power.
Most importantly, after signing the contract, the beast tamer can use some of the spirit beast's abilities!
Liu Liqun brought over a white gourd and handed it to Li Muyang, explaining, "This is the Spirit Beast Gourd, a small world for spirit beasts to live in. It's big enough for about six spirit beasts. Once your spirit beast enters it and you sign a blood oath, the contract will be automatically generated."
Li Muyang stared at Liu Liqun for a long time, blinked, and when he saw that Liu Liqun was silent, he asked curiously, "Is that all?"
"It's over." A slightly amused expression appeared on Liu Liqun's rugged face. "Is there a problem?"
Li Muyang looked at his mother in confusion: "Didn't you say that the process of signing a contract was very complicated?"
Li Ma was expressionless, but she seemed to be smiling. She explained, "Ever since your father learned that you were going to study veterinary medicine, he guessed that one day you would have to sign a spirit beast contract. So he did some research on the situation of beast tamers. Seeing that the process of signing a contract was too complicated, he took the time to study and simplify it."
"Oh, by the way, your dad's equipment hasn't been fully made public yet. You've got to pull some strings. This gourd was also specially made by him and given to your Uncle Liu as something to prepare for you."
Li Muyang's eyes widened, cold sweat pouring down his face. No wonder he's my father! As unreasonable as ever!
