189: Chapter 191 More Than Just the Fiery Pegasus Can Be Ride
Lin Kuang looked at the Blazing Pegasus, recalling the mission: It seemed Song Qingyun could not win the competition, and it was up to him to coordinate with it to secure the victory.
The Beast Taming Sect seemed to sign equal contracts with Spirit Beasts, which was different from ordinary master-servant contracts. Would this Blazing Pegasus be affected by his Spirit Beast-friendly buff?
The 50% favorability seemed to relate to wild Spirit Beasts. He wondered if he could calm the creature down a bit; after all, he did not want to experience the feeling of having his buttocks scorched.
Lin Kuang slowly raised his hand, and his powerful "Friend of Spirit Beasts" buff spread out, instantly creating an emotional resonance with the Blazing Pegasus.
Gradually, Jiang Yu's hand touched areas other than its mane...
Flames slowly covered his palm. As the fire engulfed his entire arm, Yu Xiaotang's eyes widened further and further.
"Lin Kuang, I was just joking! Don't push yourself so hard, or you'll burn your hand to a crisp! Hurry and take your hand out!"
Fearing that Lin Kuang would get burned, Yu Xiaotang began to worry.
"It's fine. This bit of flame causes me no harm at all. See! Look! Isn't my hand perfectly fine?" Lin Kuang pulled his hand out, then thrust it back in again.
He began to stroke it beneath the flames.
Yu Xiaotang watched this scene closely, her eyes widening even further. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "It's really okay?"
"Good heavens! Lin Kuang, how did you do that?"
Just as Yu Xiaotang and Xiao Rou were shocked, their eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity.
"Lin Kuang, do you have some special ability or a hidden Bloodline?"
Song Qingyun immediately discovered Lin Kuang's secret. Lin Kuang felt his hair stand on end, but he just chuckled and explained, "I'm not sure either; I just feel a sense of kinship with it!"
Lin Kuang was panicking inside. How had she guessed he had a special ability in an instant!
"Maybe it's because I used to rescue wild Spirit Beasts often, so Spirit Beasts are generally more affectionate toward me!"
Song Qingyun was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly became very interested in the things surrounding Lin Kuang. She immediately followed up, "Rescuing Spirit Beasts? What a touching story!"
"Can you tell me about it?"
When it came to the stories of rescuing Spirit Beasts, Yu Xiaotang was exceptionally excited, gesturing as she recounted them to Song Qingyun.
"What? There are such scumbags? Bullying wild Spirit Beasts!"
This was also the first time Xiao Rou had heard about Lin Kuang's past deeds of rescuing Spirit Beasts, so she let out an exclamation of shock.
After hearing Lin Kuang's secret, Song Qingyun's eyes brightened. "Lin Kuang, perhaps you could try interacting with the Blazing Pegasus for a couple of days! You might even learn how to ride it!"
Song Qingyun felt curious about Jiang Yu's secret for attracting Spirit Beasts. On the surface, it looked like she was letting Lin Kuang learn to ride, but in reality, she had already been conquered by Lin Kuang.
She even had thoughts of letting him ride...
Lin Kuang had been worrying about how to get inside the Beast Taming Sect, and now the opportunity had come to him! Not bad!
At this moment, the Blazing Pegasus's emotions suddenly became agitated. Lin Kuang felt his hand... and suddenly, a wave of warm, scorching sensation struck him.
Song Qingyun also noticed her old partner's shyness and immediately began to soothe it.
Damn! This is a mare! Lin Kuang only then realized that he seemed to have touched something he shouldn't have.
At this time, a large cloud of dust rolled up in the distance. A little boy with a braid, riding a Three-Headed Dusk Duck and leading a herd of Wasteland Cattle, came charging over.
The Three-Headed Dusk Duck commanded by the boy did not slow down in the slightest; it looked like he wanted to show off his skills.
The constantly accelerating Three-Headed Dusk Duck made the Blazing Pegasus sense a dangerous aura. This was the real reason it had distanced itself from Lin Kuang; it wanted to protect Lin Kuang and Song Qingyun.
Lin Kuang flicked his fingertips, channeling his Holy Beast Bloodline. The powerful force instantly froze the legs of the Three-Headed Dusk Duck, and Jiang Yunsheng, who was still preparing to show off, was sent flying, landing face-first in the dirt.
"Damn it! What's going on! You idiot!" Jiang Yunsheng crawled over, cursing, and then began to beat his Three-Headed Dusk Duck.
Afterward, he tidied his messy hair, glanced at Lin Kuang and the others, and then walked over. "Yo? Isn't this Song Qingyun? Not Cultivating properly, but chatting with others here?"
Song Qingyun rolled her eyes at Jiang Yunsheng and said with dissatisfaction, "What? Was your head caught in a door? You almost injured someone!"
"Let's see how you explain this to the Elder later! Every day you just command the Spirit Beast you raised to run around. If you hadn't fallen face-first, you would have caused big trouble again!"
The sudden change in Song Qingyun's tone took Yu Xiaotang and Xiao Rou by surprise.
It was completely different from the tone she had used when talking to Lin Kuang earlier.
"I... I didn't eat dirt!" Jiang Yunsheng retorted, embarrassed and angry. "Today was just an accident, I just fell by mistake! Just wait and see how I crush you in the competition!"
"With that little wild horse of yours! How could it possibly be a match for me!"
Upon hearing this, the Blazing Pegasus angrily spewed flames, then glared viciously at the other party.
Terrified, Jiang Yunsheng hurriedly mounted the Three-Headed Dusk Duck and nimbly dodged away.
After putting some distance between them, Jiang Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately mocked, "What's so special about breathing fire? My Three-Headed Dusk Duck can Flash! Hahaha..."
Jiang Yunsheng rode the Three-Headed Dusk Duck and instantly put distance between them.
"That arrogant guy!" Song Qingyun took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and then turned around, returning to her lively demeanor.
"Sorry, please excuse that. That guy is just like that, extremely arrogant!"
"It's affected your mood for the outing!"
"That guy is really annoying!" Yu Xiaotang had a simple personality and spoke her mind when she was unhappy. "Fellow Daoist Song must win against him! Give him a good retort!"
"Exactly, just say to his face that your duck is just as lame as you are!"
"We will cheer for you!" Lin Kuang was also very unhappy seeing the other person's arrogant demeanor.
"Really?" Song Qingyun looked at Lin Kuang, a new vitality slowly rising in her. "With you cheering for me! I will definitely lead it to win the championship!"
"Alright! Don't let that unlucky guy affect you. I'll take you into our Beast Taming Sect's care station!"
"For these two days, I'll take you to eat well! And by the way, I'll tell you which areas have which Spirit Beasts!"
Song Qingyun brushed past the brief interlude and led Lin Kuang and the others toward the Beast Taming Sect's care station.
After entering the care station, Lin Kuang and the others discovered that Song Qingyun was especially warm toward Lin Kuang, while she only responded with a bland smile to others who greeted her.
Only when facing Lin Kuang did she smile very warmly, her admiration flowing out without reservation in her eyes.
Along the way, many people supported Song Qingyun; many Cultivators within the Beast Taming Sect felt that she was the true champion.
Song Qingyun brought them to a vendor whose business was particularly good.
