Chapter 117: Shall We Raise It Together?
However, no matter how it was said, Jiang Lin's words made the handling of the incident easier to manage.
"Indeed, I agree with your words. Quickly put Princess Yao Yue down. That is indeed a loyal beast." With one sentence, Fa Ma turned the cunning and deceitful Storm Eagle into a loyal and brave magical beast. Well, at least this saved the life.
"Xiao Lan! Do you still remember the bond we had? Xiao Lan! It's me! This time, I won't let you go!" Hearing Fa Ma's words, Jiang Lin, who knew how to take advantage of a good moment, instantly started acting, his eyes welling up with tears as he trembled and called out to the eagle in the sky.
The Storm Eagle looked down at Jiang Lin on the ground with a strange expression. However, the reappearance of the purple-robed old man seemed to surprise the eagle more than expected. Hearing Jiang Lin's sincere call, the eagle slowly began to descend, hovering above Jiang Lin's head, and gently lowered Princess Yao Yue, who was lacking oxygen. Jiang Lin, in perfect timing, caught her in a princess carry.
At this moment, Eagle Sauce, sensing something was wrong, shifted back into its previous submissive behavior. It landed next to Jiang Lin, rubbing its head against Princess Yao Yue's hand as if apologizing for its earlier aggressive behavior.
Gradually, Princess Yao Yue regained her senses. She cautiously tried to pull her hand away from the eagle, but Eagle Sauce, like an overly clingy dog, kept pushing towards her. Unable to resist the eagle's enthusiasm, she gently patted its head.
Fortunately, this time, Eagle Sauce didn't suddenly lash out or attack her.
Under the envious and jealous eyes of the surrounding onlookers, Jiang Lin was startled when the soft and fragrant Princess fell into his arms. He quickly crouched down carefully and gently set Princess Yao Yue on the ground. As he checked her neck, he found that fortunately, Eagle Sauce had shown restraint and hadn't applied much force. There were only the inevitable marks from the eagle's claws, but no other wounds.
"Princess, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Jiang Lin quickly apologized softly.
At the same time, the surrounding Gama guards also kneeled on one knee to apologize, but out of fear of making too much noise, no one spoke. They silently knelt in front of Princess Yao Yue, acknowledging their failure in guarding her.
Even Yao Bai, the dignified Dou Wang in the eyes of outsiders, had to kneel on one knee, adjusting his attitude in front of Princess Yao Yue.
Perhaps, to the outside world, there was only one Dou Wang among the three major families of the Gama Empire, and Yao Bai, as a Dou Wang, shouldn't be bowing down before Princess Yao Yue. However, Yao Bai was an elder in the Gama Imperial Royal Family, with potential only reaching the Dou Wang level, while Princess Yao Yue's sister, the First Princess Yao Ye, was the future empress of the Gama Empire with the potential to become a Dou Huang.
The cultivation resources on Dou Qi Continent were deeply influenced by the established system of alchemists. As a result, the cultivation resources directly affect the strongest experts in each faction. The three major families of the Gama Empire had enough resources to nurture Dou Wang level experts, but for the Gama Empire's royal family, the Dou Huang was only the starting point. Their true potential could even produce terrifying Dou Zong-level experts. Currently, the Emperor of the Gama Empire, the Empire's Guardian, and the grandfathers of Princess Yao Yue and Yao Ye, known as Ma Pao Jia Lao, was a peak Nine-Star Dou Huang.
"This Spirit Nurturing Pill, have Princess Yao Yue take it," Fa Ma said, tossing a small vial to Jiang Lin from the city wall. When Jiang Lin opened it, a pleasant herbal fragrance filled the air, and he quickly handed it to Princess Yao Yue.
After receiving it, Princess Yao Yue bowed slightly to Fa Ma in gratitude, "Thank you, Senior," before taking the pill. Her mind quickly settled, and she felt a sense of calm.
At this moment, she looked at the Storm Eagle, who was still obediently next to Jiang Lin, then glanced at him, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes. "It's not going to suddenly attack again, is it?"
Jiang Lin, a little unsure, replied, "No, no, it's been tamed by love."
"If it's not going to attack, and you said this Storm Eagle once belonged to you, then now it is still without a master."
"Abo," Jiang Lin was a bit confused, not understanding why Princess Yao Yue was so fixated on his large bird.
Jiang Lin didn't understand because the Gama Imperial Royal Family had a Six-Star Magical Beast, the Youhai Jiaolong, as a guardian. Yao Yue knew for sure that this mutated Storm Eagle could eventually grow to be at least a fifth-tier magical beast. And as a flying magical beast, once it reached the fifth-tier, its speed could rival a sixth-tier beast. If it reached the sixth-tier, its terrifying speed advantage would allow the Gama Empire to always be in the driver's seat during foreign wars.
Yao Yue understood well that the key to a magical beast's ascension was whether its soul power could keep up with its Dou Qi growth. This Storm Eagle, based on its intelligence level, could easily ascend to the fifth-tier with enough resources. With time, reaching the sixth-tier would be no problem.
Princess Yao Yue's sharp eyes saw through the eagle's potential. Originally, the eagle's soul power was already strong, and when Jiang Lin fed it the residual soul power from the Purple Cloud Wing technique, the eagle's soul power grew to the level of a fifth-tier beast, meaning it could understand everything, except for speech.
"Junior Brother, the Gama Empire has high-tier magical beast companions," Yuan Bao noticed Jiang Lin's confusion and whispered a reminder. Honestly, he too had noticed Eagle Sauce's potential and didn't want Jiang Lin to be misled by Princess Yao Yue so easily.
Jiang Lin understood after Yuan Bao's reminder. "Princess, you think Eagle Sauce has potential?"
"The Gama Royal Family can afford it. What about you, little master?" Princess Yao Yue gracefully stood up, adjusting her silver-patterned purple gown, using the collar to cover the marks on her neck.
"I can provide Eagle Sauce with better resources, allowing it to grow faster than your training speed and become the second-generation guardian magical beast of the Gama Royal Family. Can you do that, little master?"
This time, Princess Yao Yue had learned from her previous experience. She looked at the still subservient Eagle Sauce and said, "I know you can understand human speech. What do you think? If you follow me, you can enjoy a life of luxury and quickly improve your cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Eagle Sauce immediately raised its head, looking between Jiang Lin and Princess Yao Yue, hopping back and forth with excitement.
Sometimes, Jiang Lin felt that Eagle Sauce understanding human speech was both a blessing and a curse.
But, as always, this little difficulty wouldn't trouble Master Jiang Lin.
He came up with a clever line that left Princess Yao Yue stunned:
"Or... shall we raise it together?"
