When Sect Leader Xiao heard his daughter say that the little beast in front of him could speak, he didn't believe it. A monster beast can only speak after it reaches the Nascent Soul stage. This little beast doesn't have a trace of spiritual power in its body and is so weak, so it can't possibly be a monster beast in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although there is another possibility, that is a divine beast, most divine beasts have cultivation as soon as they are born, so it is obviously unlikely.

However, Sect Leader Xiao and the others did not know that Lilia actually had some skills, but her physique was too weak and she was still young, so her strength was not high. Now she might not even be able to defeat an apprentice swordsman.

She was an alien beast, storing magic power in her body, not spiritual power, so they could not see her cultivation level and just thought she was an ordinary beast without any spiritual power.

"Lilia, please say something quickly so that my father can see if I am lying to him." Seeing that her father obviously did not believe her, Xiao Lingyu decided to let Lilia speak to prove herself.

Hearing this, Lilia opened her mouth and said, "Sister Lingyu is telling the truth. Lilia really can speak."

The soft voice of the little beast fell into the ears of Sect Leader Xiao, which made him believe that the little beast in front of him could really speak.

"I heard that there is a kind of bird called parrot in the mortal world that can speak human language. Maybe this little animal is like the parrot and is born to speak human language." Master Xiao said after thinking for a moment.

Unlike Lin Xu and others who had never been to the mortal world, Sect Leader Xiao had been to the mortal world and knew that there was a kind of mortal bird that, although it could not practice cultivation and had no cultivation, could speak human language.

He was in the world of cultivation, so when he heard about talking animals, the first two that came to his mind were the two mentioned above. He almost forgot that there were also talking birds in the mortal world.

I think this little animal must be like the bird called parrot, it is special and can talk.

"Is there such a strange bird?" Xiao Lingyu and others were surprised when they heard it.

This was the first time they had heard of it. Thinking about it this way, perhaps Lilia was really just an ordinary beast, not some special monster.

Sect Leader Xiao nodded and said, "The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things."

Although she knew that Lilia was an ordinary beast, Xiao Lingyu was not too disappointed. After all, she was attracted to Lilia only because she was beautiful and had a unique appearance. After knowing that it could talk, she was very surprised, but they could see from the beginning that there was no spiritual power fluctuation in Lilia, so even if she knew that Lilia was an ordinary beast, she did not feel too disappointed.

"If you like it, you can keep it around for fun, but didn't you ask for a spiritual pet? If you have a spiritual pet, you can't keep this little beast anymore." Sect Leader Xiao said.

"Why is that?" Xiao Lingyu asked curiously.

Originally, she thought that she could only contract one spiritual pet. Lilia, the little beast, did not need a contract and could be kept as a pet by her side. Then she could contract another spiritual beast.

But from what her father said, if she contracts a spirit beast, she can no longer keep Lilia.

"Since you want to contract a spirit beast, you must cultivate feelings and develop a tacit understanding with it after the contract. If you have other pets around you, the contracted spirit beasts have high IQs and will have a strong possessiveness over their owners like humans. They don't want their owners to have other animals around them to snatch their place in their owners' hearts." Master Xiao explained.

"Besides, the higher the level of the demon beast, the more arrogant it is. It naturally does not want to associate with other spirit beasts."

"Is there such a saying?" Xiao Lingyu was surprised.

Not to mention her, even Lin Xu and Song Ziyan had never heard of it.

"Then why can the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect contract so many monsters? And those monsters can coexist peacefully?" Song Ziyan on the side raised his doubts.

The Beast Taming Sect he mentioned uses beast taming as its main method of training. Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect can improve their strength by signing contracts with spirit beasts.

Ordinary cultivators can only contract one spirit beast, but disciples of the Beast Taming Sect are not subject to this restriction. The higher their cultivation level, the more spirit beasts they can contract.

"This is related to the practice of the Beast Taming Sect. The practice they practice is quite special, which allows them to contract multiple spirit beasts, and these contracted spirit beasts can live in peace. This is also their secret method that is not passed on. But you also know that although the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect can contract multiple demon beasts, they can only contract one of their natal spirit beasts." said Sect Master Xiao.

After hearing what Sect Master Xiao said, Song Ziyan suddenly felt that the question he asked was indeed a bit silly. If the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were the same as ordinary cultivators, then there would be no such sect as the Beast Taming Sect. Since they use beast taming as their main method of cultivation, they are naturally different from other cultivators in this respect.

The conversation between the few people did not avoid Lilia, so she heard clearly what Master Xiao said to Xiao Lingyu that she could not be supported anymore, which made her feel a strong sense of crisis in her heart.

Although she was reluctant to follow Xiao Lingyu and the others out of the forest at first, after a day of getting along with them, she had let down her guard against them and accepted the fact of being with Xiao Lingyu. She even felt that there was nothing wrong with being with Xiao Lingyu. They would give her delicious fruits and beautiful jewelry.

But now he suddenly said that he could no longer support her, which made her feel betrayed.

Moreover, she had now left the forest she was familiar with and came to this strange place. What would she do if she was abandoned?

Thinking of this, Lilia's eyes suddenly became moist, and she choked up and said, "No, don't lose Lilia..."

The voice is as aggrieved as it can be.

Hearing Lilia's voice, Xiao Lingyu lowered his head to look at her. Seeing the little girl's sad look, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

She hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't lose you."

She was the one who abducted Lilia back home, so she had to be responsible for her. How could she just abandon her and not care about her?

Even if she had contracted her own spirit pet and could not keep Lilia by her side, she would have someone take good care of her and would not abandon her.

In fact, it was normal for Xiao Lingyu and the others to kill Lilia at the beginning. After all, she was just a beast, not one of their kind.

It was just because Lilia was special. Not only could she speak human language, but her voice sounded like that of a three or four-year-old child, so soft and cute that they felt pity for her.

After all, who can resist such a cute little animal?
