Click, click, click
On the second floor of the study, the light was even dimmer, and shadows covered almost everything within sight.
The little skeleton was like a fish in water in such an environment. It followed Mu Chuyue's shadow to the outside and swam from the wall to the ceiling.
Mu Chuyue thought for a moment and summoned Bai Ya from the beast taming space.
The dark little cloud dog shook its fur in the shadows, stretched its body and felt very comfortable.
"Woof?" White Fang flapped his long tail, not quite understanding what the beastmaster wanted him to do.
"Click, click." Allen emerged from the ceiling, jumped down, and briefly explained the current situation to White Fang.
From the moment she entered the study, Ellen felt the strong emotions swirling around it.
Most of them are warm and happy memories, the wish to be with everyone forever, the determination to protect this study with all my strength, and the unspeakable regret and guilt mixed in.
The remaining emotions of the dying man were extremely huge in Allen's perception, covering the area where the study was located like a vortex. Under the resonance and blessing of the divine pet Yanluo's book page, it became long-lasting and solid, and it has not dissipated at all until now, half a year after Boss Luo's death.
That's why Mu Chuyue asked Luo Yin why she felt Yanluo Shuye was disappointed in her. Ellen did not sense any similar emotions from the vortex of emotions lingering in the study.
"Click, click." (So, our task now is to find the source of those vortices.)
The little skeleton raised a thin finger bone and explained seriously to the white-haired puppy.
"Woof?" (Source?)
White Fang tilted his head.
Mu Liuyue squatted down and touched its furry head.
The Little Cloud Dog has the innate keen sense of smell of canines, and White Fang is a Little Cloud Dog with dark attributes, and his perception of emotions is more accurate than that of extraordinary creatures of other attributes.
She just had a sudden idea and wanted to ask White Fang to try to combine the two characteristics to find the source of the surging emotions in the study.
After listening to the beastmaster's words, White Fang finally understood something. He spread out his tail like a cloud of smoke and raised his head.
"Woof!" (I'll try my best!)
It closed its eyes and, relying entirely on its sense of smell, walked slowly toward the place where it thought the emotional fluctuations were most obvious.
Mu Liuyue and the little skeleton also followed Bai Ya step by step.
The little cloud dog finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous little door. This was a small attic on the second floor, only half the height of an ordinary room. It was difficult for Mu Liuyue to get in with her height.
She opened the door of the attic, and saw only scattered books and photo albums on the floor. It looked empty.
White Fang put his little paws on the attic door frame, raised his head and sniffed carefully, then shook his ears.
"Woof..." (I can't find a more specific location...)
Yanluo Shuye was probably under the effect of the invisibility skill. This C-level spiritual skill could completely conceal the user's figure and breath. Unless it was actively released, it would be difficult to find the trace even with modern sensing equipment.
Now that White Fang has narrowed down the scope to here...
Mu Chuyue thought about it, took out the divine consciousness attribute fruit from the beast taming space, and placed it on the wooden board in the attic.
I don’t know what the recipe of Yanluo’s book page is, but fruits of the same attributes should be of some appeal to it.
Not long after, Mu Chuyue heard a gentle rustling sound, like the wind turning the pages of a book.
The fruit with divine consciousness attribute suddenly rose up a bit out of thin air, and then slowly disappeared piece by piece, as if it was eaten by some invisible small animal.
The shadow of the little skeleton had already sneaked under the attribute fruit, but Mu Huiyue shook his head and asked Ellen to return to his side.
After the attribute fruit was completely eaten, Mu Chuyue and the two pets just waited quietly without disturbing the invisible Yanluo Shuye.
After a while, probably seeing that Mu Chuyue had no intention of leaving and that he had indeed eaten the delicious fruit that the other party brought, Yanluo Shuye took the initiative to cancel his invisible state and appeared on the floor of the attic.
It was a thick book with a hardcover cover, the size of an ordinary A6, ten centimeters thick, like a big brick.
There is a delicate eye pattern on the cover of the book, with two thin legs like bookmarks extending from under the pages, and two thin bookmark arms extending from the side pages. At this moment, they are intertwined and twisted together, looking very hesitant.
"You are Xiaoshu, right?" Mu Chuyue squatted down and gently touched the cover of the book.
The bracelet sensed the new extraordinary creature and displayed its illustrated information.
[Name]: Smoky Book Pages (Hardcover)
[Attribute]: Divine Mind System
[Racial Level]: Low-level warrior
[Growth Level]: Maturity Stage 2
[Talent Core]: Travel Diary (Divine Mind System C-level)
[Normal hidden energy value]: 11wP
[Race Introduction]: A book spirit supernatural creature born from the A-level secret realm "Xinghai Library". Five different forms have been discovered so far, and each form has different innate core skills.
Mu Huiyue remembered that the "Xinghai Library" was an A-level secret realm in the Nova region that was still in the advent period and had not been fully integrated. Therefore, the number of Yanluo pages that had drifted into the Great Yan territory was very scarce.
Hearing someone calling its name, the hesitant Yanluo page stopped moving. The eye pattern on the cover blinked and its gaze fell on the human girl in front of it.
Eating the delicious fruit brought by the other party without saying hello, from the perspective of human etiquette, is this a very rude act...?
Yanluo Shuye looked at the white-haired puppy beside the girl and the little skeleton lurking in the shadows, and the two little bookmark-like hands twisted together again.
Does it need to apologize at this time... ?
Or should I ask what the other person is here for...?
Ellen emerged from the shadow and looked at the hardcover book in front of him with some curiosity.
It originally thought that a human had died next door, so it set up a mini mourning hall to facilitate worship. It didn't expect that it would hide in this small attic. It turned out that the puppy's nose was more sensitive.
"Woof~" White Fang intuitively heard the praise from Senior Eren's heart and accepted it by wagging his tail.
"It was White Fang who found this place. He is very powerful." Mu Liuyue smiled and touched the puppy's head.
The little cloud dog walked forward and curiously sniffed the strange thick book with small arms and legs.
Yan Luo took two steps back nervously, and the pages turned in a rustling sound.
"Don't be nervous, we just want to see you." Mu Yuyue remained squatting at the door of the attic and said patiently, "Because Ellen felt an unusual depth of emotion, he wanted to know...why are you hiding from Luo Yin?"
She didn't have the contract book pages and was not sure how much the other party could understand, so she asked the little skeleton to help translate it.
Judging from the emotions that Allen sensed, Yanluo Shuye had a very good relationship with the Beast Tamer and his family. He was also very happy to continue protecting Yanluo Study and was not disappointed with Luo Yin at all.
Logically speaking, it should be willing to sign a contract with Luo Yin and continue to run the study together.
Why are you hiding from her and refusing to sign the contract?
The hardcover book listened silently, the eyes on the cover drooped, and the little hand like a bookmark also drooped.
It made the sound of gently turning pages.
"Click, click?" Ellen seemed a little surprised, and the clicking sounds became more rapid.
Yanluo Shuye nodded slowly.
"Click...click, click." Allen turned around and explained to his beastmaster.
Mu Liuyue also showed a bit of surprise after hearing this.
Yanluo Book Page refused to sign a contract with Luo Yin... Is it because even if the contract was signed, it would not be able to help Yanluo Bookstore continue to operate?
Its core talent skill, [Travel Diary], is a skill that can clearly present the scenes recorded in the pages of a book in the reader's mind.
With Grandma Luo Yin's beast taming talent [Skill Induction], the skills you have mastered can be recorded on the pages of the book, and then presented in detail to the pets reading the pages through the [Travel Diary], greatly improving their understanding of the skill and allowing them to learn new skills.
The original [Travel Diary] of the little book contained teaching pages for more than a hundred skills.
This is Grandma Luo Yin's life-long accumulation, and it is also the biggest capital that enables Yanluo Shuzhai to gain a foothold in skill teaching institutions.
Luo Yin also inherited her grandmother's beast taming talent of [Skill Induction]. As long as she made a contract with the little book, she could continue to use these skill pages and allow Yanluo Study to continue.
It should have been like this, but not long after the Beastmaster passed away, Xiaoshu discovered that his [Travel Diary] had all disappeared along with the termination of the contract.
Those precious skill book pages and the memories left with the Beastmaster seemed to have become the backlash of the termination of the contract. Although Xiaoshu's body was not harmed, he lost his most important and precious things.
It was so sad that it couldn't control itself. More importantly, it had turned into a blank page of Yanluo Book. Even if it made a contract with Luo Yin again, it could no longer help her continue to run Yanluo Bookstore.
The life in the study and the memories we spent together will sooner or later disappear like its [travel diary].
And there is nothing it can do about it.
The eyes on the cover of Yanluo's book were half-closed in a lost look.
Its little hand, like a bookmark, reached out and opened its body. It started from the first page and turned the pages one by one. Every page was blank.
Mu Huoyue gently stroked the blank pages of the little book, then helped it close.
"Even so, Luo Yin will be sad if you keep avoiding her, right?" the human girl said slowly, "Even if you are a blank page of Yanluo, she still hopes to continue living with you."
Luo Yin was worried that Xiaoshu would be disappointed in her, and Xiaoshu was afraid that Luo Yin would be disappointed in her empty self, so she avoided her for so long and refused to sign a contract.
Both the person and the pet cared too much about each other, which is why they misunderstood each other for so long.
The eyes on the cover of the little book blinked and turned into tearful shapes.
"Click, click, click!" (You should have more faith in humans. Luo Yin is the child you watched grow up!)
Ellen also advised that although there are many beastmasters who contract pets simply for power and convenience, there are also humans like Hiiragi who value the will and emotions of pets more and are willing to contract with lower elite races for this reason.
"Woof!" Bai Ya agreed with him. There are also beastmasters who are willing to contract with those whose talent cores have no potential at all!
"Do you want to go meet Luo Yin?" Mu Yuyue touched her two little ones and asked Yanluo Shuye, "Can life in the study continue? Is Luo Yin willing to sign a contract with you?...No matter what outsiders say, it will be useless. Why not confirm it with her in person?"
Yan Luo Shu Ye slightly widened the eyes on the cover, then revealed a determined look, stood up on its small bookmark-like feet, tried to straighten its body, and nodded vigorously.
…
…
Luo Yin, who was waiting on the ground floor, was very anxious at this time.
Did Mu Shuyue see Xiaoshu? Could she convey her feelings to him? The memories she had with her grandmother and Xiaoshu in the past, how Xiaoshu had been hiding from her since her grandmother passed away, and how the Yanluo Study was becoming increasingly deserted...
All kinds of thoughts and memories were mixed up in a mess. Just when Luo Yin was about to give up waiting, footsteps were heard at the stairs.
She turned her head to look at Mu Liuyue who was walking down from the second floor, and the thick hardcover book in her hands, and cried out in disbelief.
"Little book!"
The hardcover edition of Yan Luo's book also saw her. The eyes on the cover turned into tearful shapes again, and a circle of light blue light representing telekinesis wrapped around her body. She flew up from Mu Chuyue's hand and pounced into Luo Yin's arms.
Luo Yin grabbed the Yanluo book page that she hadn't seen for a long time and hugged it tightly.
The young study owner burst into tears and it took her a while to calm herself down. She heard from Mu Chuyue the reason why Xiaoshu was avoiding her.
"Just for this reason? Xiaoshu, you are such an idiot..."
Luo Yin wiped her tears and looked at the cover of the hardcover book sitting on her lap, which was also covered with tears. She said angrily and amusedly, "It's a pity that the diary left with grandma disappeared...but why would I mind that you are a blank page?"
"The memories we spent together in the past will not disappear. Even if the pages disappear, we can just create new memories together and collect new skills."
The pages of the book made a continuous rustling sound, and the eyes on the cover cried even more fiercely.
The eye was just a pattern drawn on the cover and would not shed real tears, but Luo Yin still reached out to wipe the tears from Xiao Shu's eyes.
"Are you still willing to make a contract with me, Xiaoshu?" she asked softly.
Yanluo Shuye nodded, and the eyes on the cover turned into a circle of complicated array patterns, with a circle in the center left empty, waiting for the beastmaster to imprint his own pattern on it.
Luo Yin placed her hand on the cover of the book.
The array patterns on the pages of Yanluo's book were closely combined with her imperial patterns, forming a brand new pattern. A summoning array with triple imperial patterns appeared on the little book, and it disappeared on the spot.
Luo Yin quickly summoned it out from the beast-controlling space.
The newly born pages of Yanluo's book dangled their small legs like bookmarks, sat on the hands of the beastmaster, and the eyes on the cover smiled into a crescent shape.
It stretched out its slender little hands and opened its body. A new record appeared on the originally blank first page - it was Luo Yin holding the Yanluo page and crying with joy.
Luo Yin reached out and touched the page of patterns. Tears were still in the corners of her eyes, but she finally smiled.
The pattern on the small book page was blurry for a while. When it became clear again, the expressions of Luo Yin and Yan Luo on it turned into happy smiles.
