Ye Lingyue’s rapid progress in her cultivation this time would no doubt raise her mother’s suspicion, so she had long prepared her explanation.

The bottle of Hundred-fruit wine was different from the wine Ye Lingyue found in the tree hole. Ye Lingyue already purified it once with the Qian cauldron, and it enhanced the effect of the wine.

The wine aroma filled the whole room after they opened the cork. Ye Fengyu’s expression changed and she looked at the bottle of wine in surprise. Was this what they called monkey wine?

Ye Fengyu heard from an old hunter before that there were iron-armed apes in the Seven Star Mountain. They were particularly good at brewing monkey wine, which is very nourishing and good for repairing damaged bones and muscles.

She had been on the mountain countless times but never had she encountered a drop of monkey wine. It was her daughter’s first time in the mountain, but she managed to find some?

No wonder Lingyue’s strength soared so much!

Could it be that even God thought that she was too decadent these years, that He let her daughter find the monkey wine instead?

“I still have several bottles with me. Mother, try the Hundred-fruit wine first,” Ye Lingyue said. And as she did, a rustling sound came from her clothes.

“Squeaky.” A small head poked out of her robe.

Ever since forming a spiritual contract with Ye Lingyue, Squeaky was not willing to stay in Hongmeng Sanctuary alone.

Ye Lingyue could only hide it in her clothes, and surprisingly, it ate and slept well. When she was fighting in the ring earlier on, it was just sleeping soundly.

The little fellow had woken up and felt its stomach growling, so it stuck its head out to find something to eat.

“Mother, I still have one more thing to tell you. I saw this spiritual being on the mountain and I want to raise it.” Ye Lingyue looked at Ye Fengyu and pulled a face as if to plead.

Squeaky also understood the meaning of Ye Lingyue’s words. It then pulled a pitiful look towards Ye Fengyu using its baby blue eyes. It held its forelegs together, assuming a pleading stance at the same time.

Seeing how her daughter and the cute little dog looked, Ye Fengyu was caught between laughter and tears.

Just like that, the northern estate had a new member.

After she took the Dark Yin Jade in her possession, Ye Lingyue went back to her room. As she looked at the Dark Yin Jade, she thought to herself that with the cauldron breath, she would be able to refine medicine.

But she didn’t know whether the cauldron breath could swallow other things besides the black spots inside the jade.

Ye Lingyue looked around and found a cup. Holding it in her hand, the cauldron breath lazily went to the object.

A porcelain white image briefly flashed past her mind. After that, the cauldron breath rushed out and went back to the cauldron. As for the cup, there were no color changes.

Ye Lingyue tried it on all kinds of things in the room and she soon found a pattern.

The cauldron breath could easily enter smaller things, especially those that are alive or spiritual. However, Ye Lingyue noticed how the cauldron breath was weak. If it wanted to enter things with a larger dimension, there would only be a blurred image inside her mind.

“The cauldron breath is still weak. I can only refine medicine and purify things to strengthen it in the future,” Ye Lingyue said to herself.

Ye Lingyue was sleepy after the day’s event, and she fell into a deep sleep that night.

The next day, Ye Lingyue had just woken up when Ye Yinshuang excitedly came to the northern estate.

“Congratulations, Lingyue. Yesterday was so exhilarating! You don’t know how happy I was when Ye Qing was crawling like a dog.” Ye Yinshuang’s face was full of joy.

Ye Qing had always been fearless because of his status in the family. But yesterday, someone finally taught him a lesson for the first time.

And that person was Ye Lingyue, the person he looked down on. Such news spread like wildfire throughout Autumn Maple town.

“Lingyue, what a cute little fox you’re carrying!” Ye Yinshuang saw the small head that had poked out from Ye Lingyue’s clothes.

‘You are the fox. Your whole family is a skulk of foxes.’

As Squeaky saw Ye Yinshuang reach out her hands, it grabbed at her with its little claw with a quick swoosh. It then puffed out its cheek as if fruits were stuffed inside. Squeaky’s reaction meant that it was angry, and with just one touch, there were serious consequences.

As such, there were several scratches on the back of Ye Yinshuang’s hand.

Its speed and ferocity were not in line with its cute appearance.

What a fierce little fellow!

It surprised Ye Yinshuang. She was already at the fourth level of body tempering, so that meant her skin was tough. But after Squeaky had given her a causal scratch, and it was strong enough to wound her.

“Yinshuang, this is the little beast I’ve just started raising. It’s called ‘Squeaky.’ It’s shy around strangers, so it’s better not to pet it,” Ye Lingyue said with some embarrassment. Perhaps it had been in Hongmeng Sanctuary for too long that Squeaky was wary of people. It also did not allow Ye Fengyu and Aunt Liu to touch it.

What Squeaky liked the most other than eating was to stick close to Ye Lingyue.

When Ye Yinshuang heard this, she could only draw back her hand and dared not to provoke Squeaky.

“It’s getting late. It’s time for us to go to the martial arts school. I haven’t been there for a month,” Ye Lingyue said with a smile.

“Why are you still going to the martial arts school? I almost forgot about it. My father asked me to inform you to go to the martial arts tower. Don’t forget that the top three of the competition can enter the martial arts tower and choose a new martial arts skill. This is much more important than going to the martial arts school.”
