#921 - Chapter 921 Ye Ling Collects Spiritual Beasts

The little thing was round, with small, black eyes and an interesting, long tail. It looked like a glutinous rice ball.

Faced with this sudden little thing, and such a cute and adorable one at that, Ye Ling's eyes lit up. She wanted to reach out and hug the little glutinous rice ball, but Ye Kong stopped her.

Ye Kong hurriedly consulted the system in his mind about the origin of this little glutinous rice ball. The beasts in this Hundred Beast Garden were no ordinary creatures. Beneath their seemingly harmless and cute exteriors often lay the greatest danger.

"Ding! Information for the host has been found. This is a silver-throated beast, a rare species, non-toxic and harmless. When raised to adulthood, it becomes extremely aggressive and can be taken as a spiritual pet."

After receiving the system's explanation, Ye Kong allowed Ye Ling to approach the little glutinous rice ball.

Ye Ling reached out and picked up the little glutinous rice ball. Its whole body was fluffy, making Ye Ling extremely addicted to touching it. Moreover, the little glutinous rice ball's eyes were exceptionally clear and bright. Ye Ling felt an inexplicable fondness for it.

Seeing that Ye Ling couldn't put down the silver-throated beast, Ye Kong simply gave it to her as a gift.

"This silver-throated beast is a rare breed, seldom seen in the world. It is its fortune to meet you today. I will give this silver-throated beast directly to you as a gift. Are you willing?" Ye Kong said to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling looked down at the little glutinous rice ball in her arms. The little glutinous rice ball looked at Ye Ling with a hopeful gaze. Ye Ling's heart fluttered, and she agreed.

"Since that's the case, give this silver-throated beast a name," Ye Kong suggested to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling stroked the little glutinous rice ball's fur, pondering for a moment.

"This was given to me by your逍遥 Peak, so let's call it逍遥 (Xiaoyao). Ye Kong, what do you think?"

"This… this cute little guy is called Xiaoyao. It doesn't quite match the silver-throated beast's adorable appearance. I think, since this silver-throated beast likes you so much, let's call it多多 (Duoduo)!" Ye Kong presumptuously came up with a very cultured name.

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth twitched slightly. Ye Kong's name was even more casual than hers. However, "Duoduo" was quite fitting for the little glutinous rice ball's cute appearance, so Ye Ling happily accepted it.

The two strolled around the Hundred Beast Garden again before leaving.

By the time they came out of the Hundred Beast Garden, it was already 戌时 (7-9 PM). Ye Kong remembered the stunning sunset he had seen when practicing on the summit of Peach Mountain before, so he thought of taking Ye Ling to see it. Ye Ling happily agreed. With the official business finished, she could stroll around逍遥 Peak more.

Ye Kong and Ye Ling arrived at the summit of Peach Mountain. The red sun hung in the west, surrounded by a large expanse of floating clouds. The clouds above pulled and tugged, while those below supported the sun, trying their best to keep it from falling, so much so that the clouds' faces flushed red. The sun could not help but set, only shamefully lengthening the twilight and making the weather cooler. The other clouds were happy, relaxed, and donned their whitest clothes. In groups of two or three, they pushed and shoved each other as they wandered to the edge of the sky, then quietly watched the scene below from the blue sky.

Ye Kong and Ye Ling stood on the summit of Peach Mountain, enjoying the infinitely beautiful sunset. A refreshing breeze swept over them, as if all worries and fatigue were left behind. Ye Ling felt every tense nerve in her body gradually relax. The wind ruffled the surface of the Bitter Sea, creating layers of ripples, reflecting the crimson sunset like a sea of red agate, sparkling and shining. The bamboo forest on逍遥 Peak shimmered with a green glow, gently swaying its leaves in the breeze. The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was like a beautiful song. The wind in the high sky chased, teased, and tore at the floating clouds.

Gradually, the sun disappeared, and the afterglow of the sunset dyed the white clouds wandering in the blue sky red, and even inlaid them with glittering edges. In a moment, several white clouds transformed into rose-colored sunset clouds.

Ye Kong and Ye Ling greedily enjoyed the last of the afterglow before returning to逍遥 Peak.

The disciples had already prepared dinner. Ye Kong warmly invited Ye Ling to eat dinner before leaving. Ye Ling initially wanted to refuse, but under Ye Kong's repeated invitations, her heart softened, and she agreed to eat dinner at逍遥 Peak before leaving.

In the dining hall, there were more than a dozen more delicious dishes than usual. The disciples, seeing this, sighed in gratitude for Ye Ling's blessing, as they got an extra meal.

Ye Kong sat in the main seat, Ye Ling sat in the side seat, and Feng Qingqing sat next to Ye Ling.

Feng Qingqing saw the adorable little glutinous rice ball in Ye Ling's arms, soft and cute.

"Lord Ye, what is this? It's so cute!"

Feng Qingqing's reaction made the other disciples very curious, and they immediately gathered around to take a look.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the little glutinous rice ball in Ye Ling's arms slowly turned its small body, revealing two clear, bright eyes. Duoduo seemed afraid of the crowd and kept stuffing its little face into Ye Ling's arms, burrowing into them.

Ye Ling hurriedly stroked Duoduo to comfort it.

"This is a little glutinous rice ball I met in the Hundred Beast Garden today. Your master saw that I had a connection with this little glutinous rice ball, so he gave it to me. This little glutinous rice ball is now called Duoduo," Ye Ling introduced to the curious逍遥 Peak disciples.

When the disciples heard that it was given to Ye Ling by Ye Kong, they surrounded Ye Kong, enclosing him in a circle.

"Master~ That little glutinous rice ball is so cute, so cute. Master, give me one too!" Little Lori Ye Hongxue coquettishly said to Ye Kong.

"Master, I like this little glutinous rice ball too. Master, give me one too," Bai Wuchen imitated Little Lori Ye Hongxue's appearance and performed a tough guy acting cute for Ye Kong.

Ye Kong nodded. After Ye Ling's Imperial Guard came to pick her up, Ye Kong watched Ye Ling get on the palanquin before preparing to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Ye Ling got off the palanquin and shouted to Ye Kong, who was turning away.
