Beast Taming Chapter 4: The Girl Who Traveled Across Time

The woman giggled for a long moment before she stopped and realised her current situation again, shrinking back inwards.

Shi Yan shed tears again. Am I that scary? The girls from Huajian Sect usually stick to me, but this girl shivered at the sight of me. Forget it, forget about her. Let's dry the clothes first. I feel so uncomfortable being wet all over.

Although the woman was curled up on the big-leaf water lily, her vigilant eyes never left Shi Yan, making him feel like thorns on his back and uncomfortable all over. Seeing Shi Yan picking up some firewood nearby, she took out a red cocoon-like object and touched it on the firewood, which actually ignited it.

Curiosity kills the cat. Although she was still very scared, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity when she saw something strange, "Hey, you big pervert, what's that round thing in your hand?"

"This is a fire cocoon, used to make fire." Shi Yan said with a smile: "No wonder you don't know it. This is something only people with low cultivation use. Naturally, you don't know it."

"What's going on? He speaks so strangely." Only then did the woman realize that he was different. He was actually wearing ancient costume!

Because she had been in a state of panic, she did not pay attention. Now that she had calmed down, she realized how special the clothes he was wearing were. It was actually an ancient costume.

"Hey, why are you wearing ancient costumes? Is there a movie being filmed nearby?"

Shi Yan was stunned. Ancient costume? He looked at the clothes he was wearing. They were not ancient at all. They were the most popular styles this year. Could it be that he was cheated by the owner of the clothes shop? Damn, this cost me two first-grade spirit stones! I knew that people with shabby looks must have problems with their reputation! Next time I go to Konghai, I must make him spit out the spirit stones!

Thinking of this, he took off his coat.

When the woman saw him taking off his clothes, she panicked and instinctively crossed her arms over her chest. Her face turned pale and she shouted, "What...what do you want to do?"

Shi Yan gave her a strange look, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm taking off my clothes?"

The woman shrank back in fear when she heard this. "I mean...why...why are you taking off your clothes? I've practiced Taekwondo and I'm a good fighter. Don't come over here!"

Shi Yan rolled his eyes at her and said, "My dear aunt, can't you see that I'm soaked to the skin? Of course I have to take it off and dry it. What do you think I want to do? I'm not as strong as others. My small body needs careful care!"

The woman remembered that she had kicked him into the lake just now, and now his clothes were soaked, which was indeed uncomfortable to wear, so it was understandable that he took off his clothes to dry them. Knowing that she had misunderstood, she embarrassedly stuck out her tongue at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan only took off his coat and hung it on the wooden rack next to the campfire, while he also warmed himself by the fire.

"Hey, do you want to come over and warm yourself by the fire?" Shi Yan was afraid that she would misunderstand him, so he explained, "I won't do anything to you. Believe me, I'm a good person."

"No, I'm not cold." Just as she said that, a breeze from the lake blew, bringing with it a hint of moisture, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Haha...ha." Seeing her like this, Shi Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Come here, the wind is harmful to your health, don't get sick."

The woman hesitated for a while, and finally could not stand the cold wind anymore, so she stood up, bit her pink lips, and sat down by the fire. As soon as she sat down, a warm current flowed through her body, the coldness dissipated, and she moaned in comfort.

Shi Yan fiddled with the firewood, trying to smile and look like a good person. "What's your name? Why are you here alone?"

"You suddenly asked my name. Do you have any intention?" The woman looked at him warily.

Shi Yan was speechless. "What intention could I have? If I had any intention, would you still be able to sit here and warm yourself by the fire peacefully?"

She tilted her head and thought for a while, "That's right, my name is Ye Yier, what's yours?"

"Ye Yier, Willow Leaf Yiyi, what a nice name." Shi Yan praised: "My name is Shi Yan, Shi for time, Yan for language."

"Shi Yan... Well, your name doesn't sound like a bad person's!" Ye Yier nodded seriously.

Shi Yan nearly fell down with a thud, and said with a wry smile: "My name doesn't sound like a bad guy, so do I look like a bad guy?"

Being handsome is not as good as having a good name, you need to learn!

"Hehe, that's what you said, I didn't say it!" Ye Yier laughed and said, "By the way, you haven't answered my question just now. Why are you wearing ancient costumes? It's so weird."

"Strange? I think your clothes are strange. Your skin is exposed, and you are not afraid of being seen." Shi Yan took a quick glance and said with a blushing face.

"You are so conservative!" Ye Yier looked around and asked curiously, "By the way, where is this place? I remember I fell asleep on the beach. How did I end up here after waking up?"

"This is a place between the mountains in Huajian Valley, but I don't know what it's called."

Although Shi Yan felt strange, he did not show it and answered.

"Huajian Valley?" Ye Yier repeated it, frowning as she searched for matching information in her mind, but in the end she found nothing. "What is Huajian Valley? Is there a place called Huajian Valley in the Maldives?"

Shi Yan looked at her strangely, "What groom? This is Zimu Liuhua Territory, Huajian Valley to which Huajian Sect belongs. Why are you bringing up the groom? In this age when everyone is cultivating, and mounts, magic weapons, and flying swords are everywhere, who still needs a groom?"

Zimu Liuhua Territory, Huajian Sect, Huajian Valley? Mount, magic weapon, flying sword? Oh my god, I am not being silly. And he doesn't look like a particularly stupid person. Could it be that he is a fool who doesn't show his true colors?

Ye Yier suddenly stood up, looked around in disbelief, and looked at Shi Yan, somewhat at a loss.

Ye Yier was unsure of her thoughts, so she asked again: "Shi Yan, what year is it today?"

"Oh, you mean what year it is now, right? Um... Now it should be the 3200th year of the Dragon Calendar." Shi Yan smiled awkwardly: "I haven't paid attention to time for many years, I almost forgot it!"

Ye Yier's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and she was shocked and incoherent: "Impossible, impossible, this is a dream, yes, I must have fallen asleep."

As he said this, he pinched Shi Yan's waist fiercely. Hiss! Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the sky, "It hurts!"

"Pain? Can you feel pain?"

"Nonsense, if you don't believe me, I'll pinch you!" Shi Yan took a look and immediately felt aggrieved, his eyes turned purple.

"Use so much force, you'd think it was made of flour paste!"

"This is not a dream. Have I traveled through time?" Ye Yier was stunned, tears streaming down her face.

Large drops of water dripped down.

Shi Yan was a little surprised when he saw Ye Yier suddenly started crying. "Why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry."

Hearing Shi Yan's persuasion, she cried even louder, "Wow...ah~~~"

Hey, she's crying even harder. Shi Yan had never seen such a scene before, and he panicked immediately, not knowing what to do. "Okay, I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have yelled at you!" Shi Yan had no idea why Ye Yier was crying, he straightened his waist, gritted his teeth and said, "If you like to pinch me, then pinch me as many times as you want, I won't scream, I can bear it!"

Shi Yan had been in poor health since childhood, and adults would not let children play with him. He had never seen children younger than him, let alone take care of them, and he could only be taken care of.

Ye Yier continued to cry, and her cries became more and more miserable, making everyone who heard her sad and shed tears.

Shi Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't blame me for taking advantage of you!" He picked up Ye Yier and put her on his lap, hugged her in his arms, and let her head rest on his broad shoulders. He stretched his right hand behind her and patted her gently, humming a vague little tune.

At first Ye Yier thought he was a beast and struggled hard, but as his singing became louder and he patted her gently on her back, she gradually gave up struggling and rested her head on his shoulder.

Shi Yan still remembers that every time he cried because of the extreme cold, his sister would hold him in her arms regardless of the cold and sing the nursery rhyme she composed for him. Whenever his sister sang this nursery rhyme, Shi Yan would feel the pain in his body gradually disappear and gradually fall asleep. So when Ye Yier couldn't stop crying, Shi Yan suddenly remembered this memory and used it on Ye Yier.

If even the pain from her own extreme coldness could gradually disappear, then the discomfort in her heart would also vanish!

Sure enough, Ye Yier gradually stopped crying. After she stopped crying, Shi Yan looked down and found that Ye Yier had fallen asleep quietly.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When Ye Yier woke up, she found herself in a strange house, lying on a strange bed. She got up in shock and looked around. It was an antique...thatched house.

Ye Yier was stunned for a long time before she remembered what happened before she fell asleep. She quickly checked her condition and found that there was no sign of her clothes being taken off, so she breathed a sigh of relief. After a comfortable sleep, her sadness also subsided a little. Now that things have come to this, being too sad will not solve the problem at hand.

However, recalling her ugly appearance before falling asleep, she secretly said, "You are so lucky!"

After Shi Yan carried Ye Yier back yesterday, he sat on the roof all night. When the sun just rose in the morning, he led the harvest to the inner gate mountain peak.

This mountain is the one Shi Yan visits most often. It is the place where Second Master Uncle lives. There is Nei Zi Tang, which is the important logistics base of the sect. All the supplies of the sect are in Nei Zi Tang and are managed by Second Master Uncle. You can also accept tasks and exchange transactions here.

The path of cultivation is not about practicing hard and practicing hard again. In addition to talent and hard work, entering the world is also very important, especially for those who have encountered bottlenecks. Therefore, when practicing in the world, cultivators take on some tasks and earn some spiritual stones to buy various materials needed for cultivation. This is also the reason why the Neizi Hall was established. Many large and small sects or families also have such institutions.

The tasks issued by Neizitang are mostly what the disciples within the sect need. Second Uncle is a Jindan cultivator. Although she is the weakest among the three Jindan cultivators in the sect, she is very good at business and manages Neizitang in an orderly manner. Neizitang also conducts foreign trade and has its own shop in Konghai, which is also one of the main sources of spiritual stones for the sect.

The Nei Zi Tang will also select some disciples with talents to study and work here, and Mingxiang, the eldest outer disciple, is the candidate favored by the Second Uncle-Master, and serves as the head of the hall. It is said that if Mingxiang breaks through the meridian transformation and reaches the foundation building stage, the Second Uncle-Master will accept him as a disciple, so he will focus on training him.

Although they had only heard about it, the outer disciples already regarded her as their uncle's disciple. After all, it was an indisputable fact that she was the head of the Neizi Hall.

As the chief guest of the outer sect, Shi Yan had a good relationship with Mingxiang, so he walked through the hall and the middle hall without any obstruction and went straight to the inner hall's master's room.
