Chapter 153 The Pill of Ten Thousand Words
Xu Xiaoxiao summoned Lanxing out of the beast-taming bag. Lanxing, a wolf as tall as two people, appeared beside Xu Xiaoxiao. "Finally, I can come out. It wasn't comfortable in the bag at all, Master." It rubbed its head against Xu Xiaoxiao's hand.
Seeing the human and wolf getting along so harmoniously, Mu Zhusheng felt relieved. "Junior Sister, is this your spirit pet?"
"Second Senior Brother, let me introduce you to this creature. I met it in the Desolate Ruins. Its name is Blue Star, and it will be my partner in battle from now on."
"Blue Star, this is my second senior brother. Quickly say hello to him!" Xu Xiaoxiao patted its head. Its wolf tail was already sticking up in the sky. It was especially happy to hear its master acknowledge it.
The composed and handsome man in front of it, who smelled of medicine, was its master's second senior brother, and also its second senior brother. It circled around Mu Zhusheng and rubbed its big head against the other's hand.
"Since you're so smart, I'll give you a big gift." After saying that, Mu Zhusheng produced a pill in her hand and casually fed it to the wolf. Being recognized by her junior sister was a blessing for the wolf.
"So delicious!" Lan Xing hadn't even had time to react before the food melted in her mouth, leaving only a rich spiritual energy and medicinal aroma. She couldn't help but blurt out what was on her mind.
"Blue Star, you can speak now!" Xu Xiaoxiao was excited to see her spirit pet speak human language after eating the pill. The voice was very tender. She looked at her second senior brother with great anticipation.
"Well, seeing how smart it is, I gave it a Ten Thousand Word Pill so that it will be easier for you to communicate. As for the Transformation Pill, it can only be given to it when it is an adult, otherwise it will damage its foundation for cultivation later on." Mu Zhusheng looked at her junior sister's bright eyes and knew what she was thinking, so she explained.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I am very satisfied that I can speak." Lan Xing knelt in front of Mu Zhusheng and wagged its tail to express its gratitude.
"Well, you'd better follow your junior sister closely and protect it. You'll need plenty of pills, or you'll know how powerful I am." Mu Zhusheng looked at the wolf, worried that it might harm her junior sister in the future, and gave it a warning.
Lanxing looked at the ninth-tier alchemist before it. It wasn't foolish enough to oppose him. Moreover, it genuinely acknowledged Xu Xiaoxiao as its master. It patted its chest with its paw and said earnestly, "Second Senior Brother, don't worry. I will protect Master even if it costs me my life. My life was given to me by Master..."
"Alright, Second Senior Brother, don't scare it anymore. I, Lan Xing, don't need you to risk your life. We should both cultivate diligently and reach the end of our cultivation journey together."
Xu Xiaoxiao was also moved by what she heard. Every life is an independent entity, and she hoped that everyone and everything around her would have a good outcome.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Lanxing seriously, raised her hand and gently stroked its fluffy head, and said, "Lanxing, you've just arrived at our sect, so you must remember some of the rules. Your daily activities are limited to Chongyang Peak, so don't go anywhere else. I also have a master, my senior brother, and two friends from the first and second grades of junior high school. I'll introduce them to you later."
Lanxing tilted her head, looking puzzled, her ears twitching involuntarily, and asked, "Master, why? Aren't other places fun?"
Xu Xiaoxiao patiently explained, "In our cultivation sect, each peak has different disciples who cultivate. The disciples on other peaks have different temperaments and strengths. If you accidentally offend them, you will definitely suffer. If you get injured, I will be heartbroken."
Lan Xing nodded as if she understood, her wolf tail swaying gently behind her. She nuzzled Xu Xiaoxiao's hand with her head and said in a muffled voice, "Master, I know. I'll stay on Chongyang Peak and not go anywhere. I don't want to worry you, and I don't want to get hurt. I can't not protect you."
Mu Zhusheng, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly with approval in her eyes and added, "Lan Xing, your master is right. This cultivation sect may seem peaceful, but it actually hides many rules and competitions. If you stay obediently on Chongyang Peak, you can ensure your own safety and avoid unnecessary trouble."
Lan Xing looked at Mu Zhusheng, then turned to Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes filled with determination: "Second Senior Brother, Master, don't worry, I will definitely be obedient and cultivate well on Chongyang Peak. When I become stronger, I will be able to better protect Master!"
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled with relief and reminded him again, "Lanxing, remember, don't wander off. If you want to go anywhere, be sure to tell me first."
Blue Star obediently let out a "woof" and nodded its big head heavily, indicating that it had remembered.
Seeing that its master Xu Xiaoxiao and its second senior brother Mu Zhusheng seemed to have a lot to talk about, Lanxing obediently wagged its tail and thought, "I can't disturb my master and second senior brother's conversation. Chongyang Peak is so big, I'll just wander around nearby."
So it strolled around Chongyang Peak with light steps.
Before long, Lanxing arrived at a magnificent sea of flowers, where colorful butterflies danced among the blossoms, creating a scene resembling a flowing painting.
Lan Xing was immediately captivated, her eyes widening as she exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, so many beautiful butterflies!"
It couldn't resist reaching out its paw to catch one, but the butterfly fluttered gracefully, skillfully dodging it each time. Blue Star was having so much fun that it didn't notice that its big paw had accidentally trampled several flowers in the process of chasing them.
Just then, the first and second year students came to tend to the flower field. They saw Lanxing running rampant through the flowers, making a mess of their beloved flowers, and they were furious.
Chu Yi's almond-shaped eyes widened as she pointed at Lan Xing and shouted angrily, "Where did this wild wolf come from, daring to run wild in our Chongyang Peak's sea of flowers!"
The second-year student was also furious, her face turning red as she chimed in, "That's right! This is the owner's favorite flower, and it's so awful that it's been ruined like this!"
Without saying a word, the two grabbed flower hoes and rushed towards Blue Star, trying to drive it away.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Lanxing dodged while frantically explaining, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to! I just thought the butterfly was fun, I wasn't paying attention..."
But the first and second-year students wouldn't listen to its explanation at all; they only wanted to teach this "troublemaker" a lesson.
They brandished their flower hoes, pressing closer and closer. Lanxing had no choice but to dodge left and right, but the sea of flowers was only so big, and in the process of dodging, she accidentally knocked over even more flowers.
Now, the first and second year students were even more enraged and launched an even fiercer attack. In order to protect itself, Lanxing had no choice but to adopt a defensive posture. The two sides went back and forth, and the scene became chaotic for a time.
Just then, Xu Xiaoxiao heard the commotion and a bad feeling welled up in her heart. She hurriedly flew over on her sword. When she saw the chaotic scene in front of her, she was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop fighting!"
Upon hearing their master's voice, Chu Yi and Chu Er immediately stopped what they were doing and ran to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, panting as they complained. Chu Yi said aggrievedly, "Master, this wolf is too much! It ruined all your favorite flowers!"
The second-year junior high student was also full of anger: "Yes, master, we tried to make it leave, but it resisted, so we had to take action."
Lanxing also hung its head and walked dejectedly to Xu Xiaoxiao. With its ears drooping, it pitifully said, "Master, I really didn't mean to. I saw the butterflies and wanted to play with them for a while. I didn't expect to hurt the flowers. Then they came and hit me. I had no choice but to fight back..." As it spoke, tears welled up in Lanxing's eyes, and it looked very remorseful.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the destroyed flower sea and felt a little heartache, but seeing Lan Xing and Chu Yi and Chu Er's nervous and aggrieved expressions, she gently comforted them, "Alright, don't worry, things have already come to this, let's solve the problem first."
Then, she looked at Lanxing and said earnestly, "Lanxing, I know you didn't do it on purpose, but look, because of your playfulness, you ruined the flowers that the first and second year students worked so hard to take care of. That's wrong."
Lanxing lowered its head, scratched the ground with its paws, and whispered, "Master, I know I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future."
Xu Xiaoxiao then turned to the first and second year students and said gently, "First and second year students, Lanxing has just arrived here and doesn't know the rules yet. Don't be too angry. It's not a wild wolf, it's my spirit pet. From now on, we'll all be family."
Chu Yi and Chu Er exchanged a glance and nodded somewhat embarrassedly. Chu Yi said, "Master, we understand. We were too impulsive just now."
The second-year junior high school student quickly chimed in, "Yes, Master, we shouldn't have acted without asking questions first."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled with relief: "Since everyone has realized their mistakes, then it's alright. Lanxing, you should apologize to the first and second grades and help them tidy up the flower field, okay?"
Lan Xing nodded quickly and said sincerely to the first and second grades, "First and second grades, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I will pay attention in the future and I will help you to fix the flower sea."
Seeing Lan Xing's sincere expression, the first and second-year students calmed down and said with a smile, "Alright, it's good that you know you were wrong. Let's fix it together."
And so, with Xu Xiaoxiao's mediation, this small conflict was resolved satisfactorily, and everyone worked together to repair the damaged flower field.
