92: Yu Xiaotang begins to show her femininity in Chapter 92.

"It's so beautiful, it must be worth a fortune on the market!"

The captain's words immediately drew the attention of the other Cultivators; the Dynasty had clear regulations that wild Spirit Beasts could not be sold at will!

They had to be sold at designated exchanges or within organized trade fairs! Otherwise, it was a violation of the rules!

At best, one would be locked up; at worst, it was immediate execution.

"Ah! I only saw an article published by a high-level Cultivator saying these mutated Spirit Beasts are worth a lot, I wasn't advising him to sell it!"

"I just wanted to say... this Ice Seahorse is really beautiful!"

The captain suddenly realized this was a public place and began to explain himself in a panic.

After hearing the explanation, the others' gazes refocused on the Ice Seahorse.

"Yeah! It really is beautiful!" Yu Xiaotang softly approached the back of the Ice Seahorse, wanting to take a closer look.

Just as Yu Xiaotang got close, the Ice Seahorse shot a blast of ink right into her face.

Her vision suddenly obscured by the ink, Yu Xiaotang began to panic! Luckily Lin Kuang was right beside her; he caught her by the waist, otherwise she would have tripped over her own feet and fallen.

"This ability is pretty good! It can interfere with others!" Lin Kuang remarked, seeing the Mutated Ice Seahorse launch an attack instantly.

While Lin Kuang was marveling at the Ice Seahorse, Yu Xiaotang was in his arms marveling at his quick reactions, protecting her in an instant.

Truly, even though she had slipped in a split second, Lin Kuang was able to catch her.

Being held by him felt so secure! And so comfortable! It wasn't in vain that I've been learning how to be feminine for so long!

Hmm? Wait! Yu Xiaotang suddenly remembered what Sister Liu Ruyan said: a woman must be gentle!

Moreover, before boarding the ship, she had been telling herself to treat Lin Kuang gently. Why did she end up bickering with him again while fishing today?

How? How... Oh my!

Now, now... what should I do?

Lin Kuang had already wiped Yu Xiaotang's face clean!

As soon as Yu Xiaotang regained her sight, she saw the Mutated Ice Seahorse looking alert, so she immediately stood up gently to help Lin Kuang inquire.

"Captain, the Dynasty regulations state that in Dynasty waters, whoever captures or hooks a Spirit Beast first owns it, right?"

"Ah! Yes! The Dynasty has clear regulations! This Mutated Ice Seahorse belongs to Mr. Lin!" The captain replied to Yu Xiaotang's question.

"Lin Kuang! Did you hear that? This Mutated Ice Seahorse belongs to you! Hurry up and convince it!"

"Only a powerful Cultivator like you can tame it, so you and it are a perfect match!"

After saying this, Yu Xiaotang tilted her head and winked at Lin Kuang; this was a skill she had learned from Sister Liu Junsha.

That is, one must learn to praise! Especially in public, one must provide plenty of emotional value to one's Dao Companion, which will greatly increase his favorability and make him unable to leave you.

Lin Kuang looked at the dazed Yu Xiaotang, his face turning to stone: What's wrong with her? Did something trigger her? I only just caught her; it's not like she hit her head?

What's with this soft, sweet voice and that expression?

Wasn't she just the violent girl who hauled up a Green Demon Fish?

Now? What's going on? Did she lose her edge?

Such a soft voice doesn't sound like her at all!

Forget it! I'll tame this Mutated Ice Seahorse first! Since Pei Yuhan is nearby, I'll teleport it to her once it's tamed.

After all, the number of Spirit Beasts and Tool Spirits his current cultivation could control had reached its limit; he couldn't risk controlling more!

Xiao Wu delivered a direct slap, knocking the Mutated Ice Seahorse unconscious.

[Mutated Ice Seahorse]

[Racial Value: 305]

[Cultivation: first realm Middle Stage]

[Potential: half-step heavenly king]

[Trait: Weakness Empowerment — If a vital point or weakness is hit, the host's attack power is increased by 20%]

[Hidden Trait: Smoke Interference — Can interfere with a Cultivator's Divine Sense, making it impossible to pinpoint the host's location!]

Lin Kuang glanced at the Mutated Ice Seahorse's panel and marveled inwardly.

"As expected of a mutated Spirit Beast, its racial value alone is over 100 points higher than a normal Ice Seahorse! Such a Spirit Beast even has half-step heavenly king potential!"

And with such traits! It's truly Heaven-Defying! No wonder mutated Spirit Beasts are so rare!

Moreover, Ice Seahorses and Blue-Shelled Crabs generally only reach the Advanced Spirit Pet level at most, but these two had long since broken through that limit.

The key was that these two types of Spirit Beasts were particularly easy to level up; perhaps because they were common, their experience bars were shorter! So it was very easy to achieve a Breakthrough!

But these were all Lin Kuang's conjectures; after all, he couldn't see their experience bars, only his own at most! If he could see them, that would be too Heaven-Defying!

Furthermore, this Ice Seahorse's traits were incredibly Heaven-Defying. When the time came, he would just need it to land a Weakness Empowerment before launching his strongest strike himself! He couldn't imagine how powerful that would be.

But it was a pity! Its current cultivation was too low; it still needed to be slowly nurtured! And he also had to improve himself to control more Spirit Beasts!

After taming the Mutated Ice Seahorse, Lin Kuang had originally planned to teleport directly back to the Sword Sect to let Snow Fox nurture it properly!

After all, she had given him a recording Jade Slip when he left, wanting Lin Kuang to fulfill Ye Linyuan's dream of obtaining data on all Spirit Beasts!

This Mutated Ice Seahorse would be perfect for her to study first!

However, to admire this Ice Seahorse, Yu Xiaotang exhausted all her efforts to get Lin Kuang to delay teleporting back by a day.

Of course, this was a new skill Yu Xiaotang had learned.

Although some of her words felt strange to Lin Kuang, and some of her body language made him feel a bit uncomfortable, it was something Yu Xiaotang had learned for him, so he couldn't dampen her spirits.

After all, for a Sect's young miss, it wasn't easy to give up her lofty arrogance and turn into a soft, sweet little girl.

So Lin Kuang naturally indulged her, letting Yu Xiaotang observe it properly!

...

Inside the Sword Sect's Treasure Pavilion.

Snow Fox had also learned that Yu Xiaotang and Lin Kuang had discovered a rare Spirit Beast.

She was currently urging Zhao Nian along.

After Lin Kuang left, Fairy Pei went into seclusion. Zhao Nian had only entered the Sword Sect because of Fairy Pei!

Once Fairy Pei was in seclusion, he found guarding the Sword Sect alone too boring and chose to set out on a journey of experience!

Snow Fox didn't like glib Cultivators like Lin Kuang; she preferred down-to-earth ones like Zhao Nian, so she favored him a bit more.

"Zhao Nian! I praised you last time! Are you getting cocky again?"

"I asked you to help me collect Spirit Beast data. Although you've sent back quite a bit, none are as rare as Lin Kuang's!"

"A few days ago, he sent back a small Blue-Shelled Crab with immense strength; it's clearly a mutated species! And he also uploaded data for the rare Spirit Beast Pink Nine!"

"And now he's discovered a rare Spirit Beast with Yu Xiaotang! The whole Dynasty is reporting on it now!"

"Oh, Senior Snow, don't be in such a hurry! I'll catch a rare Spirit Beast for you in a few days! I'm a bit busy right now!"

The environment on Zhao Nian's end wasn't very good; it was extremely noisy!
