"A whale is calling you father? You're into that kind of fetish?"

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the teacup, which was a magic tool, thereby indicating just how wildly her emotions were fluctuating.

"No, that's not even the point! You, you did something like that with the large whale?!"

She stared at An Lin with incredulity in her eyes as her cheeks were flushed red with rage and indignation.

An Lin immediately offered an explanation to prevent Xu Xiaolan from storming off. "I can explain, please give me a chance!"

An Lin revealed all the details about how he had plundered the Heavenly Void Beast's reproductive ability and his self-detonation as well as the process during which the Heavenly Void Beast gave birth to the small Heavenly Void Beast.

Xu Xiaolan's thunderous expression finally eased after hearing his story. A hint of melancholy crept onto her features.

She heaved a faint, forlorn sigh. "Your trip to the Ancient Tai Chu Realm sure was a fruitful one. Not only did you get new beast pets and a new disciple, you even have a kid now…"

An Lin knew that this wasn't the time to make retorts against what Xu Xiaolan was saying. The most important thing now was to express how he felt toward Xu Xiaolan. He immediately brought out a golden immortal fruit from his storage ring and said, "Xiaolan, this is Six Turn Phoenix Fruit, a fifth-grade immortal fruit that I obtained in the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. Consumption of the fruit can assist those with fire-type bloodlines to observe the Dao of fire as well as to purify their fire-type bloodlines. This will be quite useful to you, so please accept it!"

Xu Xiaolan held the immortal fruit in her hands, and she sensed the pure flame power within as her features were colored gold from the bright light exuding from the immortal fruit. "Who would have thought that you would remember to bring back a present for me…"

"Of course." An Lin replied, "And that snow soul beast… If you like him, then you can keep him. Aside from having a slightly prickly personality, he's quite a good beast pet."

Xu Xiaolan waved her hands in refusal. "That's ok, you can keep him. You've got so many beast pets already anyway, so at least they won't be lonely. If I want to see him, I can just go to your place."

"That's fine by me!" An Lin immediately agreed.

Thus, the two of them began to move on to different conversation topics. Xiaolan was quite understanding of An Lin, and she didn't seem too hung up on the little whale issue, for which An Lin heaved an internal sigh of relief.

After that, their conversation flowed very easily, and they completely forgot about the time.

Tina, Xue Zhantian, and Xiao Ze were getting a little bored of waiting, so they started to find something to do.

"Huh? It sounds like there's someone singing there." Tina turned to the neighboring dorm room. She hesitated momentarily before her curiosity got the better of her as she flew toward the source of the singing voice.

"Isn't that Master's house? He did tell us to wait for him so that we could go back together." Xiao Ze immediately cautioned Tina against seeking out the source of the singing voice.

However, Tina's heart was burning with curiosity. They were going there sooner or later, so what was the problem with going there a bit sooner?

She flew toward the source of the singing voice before arriving at a windowsill, where a little red flower was singing in a sweet, pleasant voice as it wobbled its body joyfully as it photosynthesized under the light of the setting sun.

"I may be just a little lamb, but the grass is greener because of me, the sky is bluer, the clouds are softer…"

Tina settled beside the red flower, and her pointy ears perked up as a look of amazement appeared in her emerald eyes. "Wow, a singing flower. How amazing…"

Xiao Hong's singing voice faltered as she turned her flowery head to look beside her before she too exclaimed with amazement, "Wow, it's a little person with wings. And she's so pretty too…"

Xiao Hong had never seen a fairy before, and although Tina was twice as tall as her, she was still a little person in Xiao Hong's eyes.

A buoyant grin appeared on Tina's face. All fairies were naturally drawn to plant life, and she was immediately quite fond of Xiao Hong. "That's right, I'm a little person; An Lin is a giant!"

Xiao Hong's wobbling flowery head faltered upon hearing this. "You know An Lin as well?"

"I do. My name is Tina, and I'm his fifth beast pet," Tina replied with a smug expression.

Xiao Hong: "…"

Does that mean that Master has abducted a little girl from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm to be his beast pet?

Xiao Hong thought this to herself, but she still extended a warm greeting along with a self-introduction, "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xiao Hong, and I am one of An Lin's beast pets as well."

"Ah! So you're Eldest Sister Hong!" Tina exclaimed as she stared blankly at the little red flower.

She had heard An Lin mention Xiao Hong's name before, as well as her number one ranking in his beast pet team.

She expected An Lin's first beast pet to be a queen that was full of vigor and intimidating majesty.

Queen Hong!

This cute little red flower was the last thing she would have expected to be Eldest Sister Hong!

"Has Master given you a nickname?" Xiao Hong asked with curiosity.

"Nickname?" Tina faltered slightly before replying with a smile, "He calls me Little Na!"

Xiao Hong: "Master is so good to you."

Confusion appeared on Tina's face. She was unsure of why Xiao Hong suddenly seemed a little depressed.

"Da Bai, Xiao Chou, Little Lang, come on out to meet the newest members of our beast pet team!" Xiao Hong suddenly yelled.

A commotion erupted from within the dorm room, and immediately after, Da Bai, Xiao Chou, and Little Lang all gathered by the windowsill before peeking out with their curious eyes.

They were greeted by the sight of a miniature person in a flowy white dress and a pair of golden wings on her back as well as features and a figure that were the epitome of perfection. She was also looking back at them with curiosity in her emerald eyes.

"Let me introduce to you all. This is Tina. She's Master's fifth beast pet, and we can call her Little Na." Xiao Hong introduced in a sweet voice, "This is Da Bai, this is Xiao Chou, this is Little Lang…"

"Gasp… What a hot chick!" Da Bai's eyes practically glowed as he stared at Tina before exclaiming after drawing a sharp intake of breath.

"Gasp… What a hideous Giant Godfiend!" Tina also drew in a sharp intake of breath as she exclaimed upon catching sight of Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou: "…"

Is she talking about me? What did I do to deserve this?

He had clearly not even uttered a single word, why would she hurt him like this…

Just as Xiao Chou was wallowing in hurt and despair, Xiao Ze arrived by the windowsill with Xue Zhantian in his arms before looking at all the beast pets with a curious expression.

All the beast pets instantly focused their attention on Xiao Ze and Xue Zhantian.

In particular, Xue Zhantian's adorable appearance immediately stole the show.

"Gasp… What an adorable ball!" Da Bai's eyes practically glowed as he stared at Xue Zhantian before exclaiming after drawing a sharp intake of breath.

"Gasp… What a hideous monkey!" Xue Zhantian also drew in a sharp intake of breath as he exclaimed upon catching sight of Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou: "…"

What did I do to deserve this?!
