Seeing Jiu Ningyang's nervous and frightened appearance, Shushu thought for a moment, then crawled out of Lu Li's clothes, flew to the other side of the table, and carefully comforted him from a distance.
"Don't worry, sheep, we won't hurt you."
After saying that, Shushu didn't try to get closer, but carefully controlled a milk fruit to pass by.
Perhaps sensing the goodwill emanating from the glutinous rice, or perhaps because the aroma of the milk fruit was too enticing, this Jiu Ning sheep glanced at the milk fruit that had stopped in front of it several times.
Finally, as if making up her mind, she uttered three words: "Thank you."
The voice was barely audible, but both Shushu and Luli heard it. Sensing the timidity in the childish voice, both Shushu and Luli were speechless.
Finally, it was Shushu who came to her senses first. She added softly to Jiu Ningyang, who was staring at the milk fruit but hadn't dared to touch it for a long time.
"This milk fruit is for you. Drink it quickly, and your injuries should be fully healed after you finish it."
I don't know if it's because I heard that the wounds on my body can be fully healed, but it's too tempting for Yang.
In short, after hearing what Shushu said, Jiu Ningyang first glanced at Shushu, and then at Lu Li, confirming that they had no malicious intent or other actions.
It finally mustered its courage, slowly stretched its little head over to get closer to the milk fruit, carefully picked it up and held it in place with its two front paws, which were still throbbing slightly.
Then, I gently bit open the skin of the milk fruit with my teeth and began to drink the juice.
The whole process felt nerve-wracking, as if if Lu Li or Shushu showed even the slightest displeasure, it would immediately return the milk fruit.
Such a cautious attitude left Lu Li and Shushu somewhat at a loss, and an eerie silence fell over the air.
Fortunately, the silence didn't last long. After finishing the milk fruit, Jiu Ningyang mustered up her courage again and began to talk to Lu Li and Shushu about her usefulness.
"Thank you. I've finished my drink. Is there anything I can do for you? Don't worry, although I'm not very good at fighting, my fur can keep me warm. I'll grow more fur in the future. Also, I can fly, so I can help pull carts or carry people."
Although Jiu Ningyang's voice was still timid, it was very fluent, obviously because he had said it many times or had rehearsed it for a long time. His fluency was so good that it was heartbreaking.
At the same time, the tension in its eyes was also exceptionally obvious.
Seeing this, the senior and junior disciples exchanged a glance, and then Shushu stepped forward and gently comforted them, "Let's talk about these things after you've recovered. We're not in a hurry. By the way, my name is Shushu, what's yours?"
"My name is Jiu Ruo. Is there really nothing you need me to do?"
Jiu Ruo, also known as Jiu Ning Yang, was incredulous when she heard that Shu Shu didn't list a bunch of conditions like the others had. She stared at Shu Shu in disbelief.
After receiving a very affirmative nod from Shushu, Jiu Ruo's already watery eyes began to shed tears.
The sight of her silently shedding tears made Shushu's heart ache. After thinking for a moment, she went over and gently patted Jiu Ruo's head, offering silent comfort.
Then, as if some terrible switch had been flipped, Jiu Ruo burst into tears, unable to hold back any longer, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered recently.
While crying, it rubbed its little head against Shushu's little paws, which, if Shushu understood correctly, meant that it wanted Shushu to pat its head more!
So, having figured things out, the little potato could only stretch out its paws and gently pat the pitiful little thing again and again, its face showing a very helpless expression.
Lu Li, standing to the side, smiled as he watched her pretend to be a little adult. Of course, out of consideration for Jiu Ruo, he didn't make a sound and just watched quietly.
Finally, after Jiu Ruo had cried enough, she apologized to Shu Shu, saying, "Um, I'm sorry."
After it finished speaking, two light pink blushes appeared on its sheep face, which stunned Shushu. Is it possible for a sheep to express its emotions so openly?
Flipping through the inherited memories, well, Jiu Ning Yang is just that straightforward. All I can say is that the spirit beasts in the cultivation world are truly bizarre and varied, with all sorts of things.
However, she felt that this Jiuning sheep had a trace of the aura of a divine beast. Could it be that the Jiuning sheep in front of her was actually a divine beast?
Shushu scratched his head, still unable to see through Jiu Ningyang's true form. The only mythical beast that could be thought of that resembled Jiu Ningyang was the Qilin clan.
But she clearly remembered that the Qilin clan were not creatures with sheep heads, wolf hooves, musk deer bodies, five-colored fur, and dragon scales, were they? (Note here is from Baidu Encyclopedia)
To her, Jiu Ruo looked just like a Jiu Ning sheep, not a Qilin at all.
Thinking about this, unable to understand or see through it, Shushu simply turned to Lu Li for help, wondering if his senior brother knew what was going on.
Fortunately, Lu Li was very reliable and understood Shushu very well. When he saw Shushu looking for help, he immediately gave Shushu an answer.
'Jiuru is a descendant of a Qilin and a Jiu Ningyang, but due to generations of inheritance, its Qilin bloodline is extremely rare. Without a fortuitous opportunity, it will likely never awaken its full potential.'
Actually, if Shushu hadn't given the other party a milk fruit, which stimulated the Qilin's bloodline to fluctuate, Shushu probably wouldn't have been able to smell this divine beast's aura.
As for why the millet and yam are not like Lu Li, which can be seen with the naked eye.
All I can say is that, as a child who has only reached the Golden Core stage, even with a lot of inherited memories, Shushu still needs to come into contact with things to gradually understand them. This is the importance of experience. Shushu still has a lot to learn.
Back to the present, after learning that Jiu Ruo was actually the offspring of Qilin and Jiu Ning Yang, Shu Shu looked at it curiously for a few moments and then asked about its situation.
Only then did they learn that Jiu Ruo had been living with her parents and the Jiu Ning Sheep Clan in the inner perimeter of the Spirit Beast Forest outside Wuzhou City.
Just a year ago, their clan was targeted by a group of cultivators, and a fierce battle ensued, during which their parents perished.
Having lost its protection, it was quickly captured by humans and sold to the Spirit Beast Shop in Wuzhou City.
After passing through several buyers, it finally ended up in the hands of Qin Na, the youngest son of the city lord's family, who was the boy from before.
The reason Qin Na bought it was actually to fight against his nemesis, specifically the kind of beast fights in the juvenile spirit beast arena.
Unfortunately, Jiu Ruo was not a combat-oriented spirit beast, and coupled with the fact that it hadn't eaten its fill or cultivated for a year, it naturally suffered a crushing defeat.
Then, Qin Na was furious after losing the game and decided to torture it to death, which was the scene that Shushu had seen before. Shushu knew what happened after that.
When Jiu Ruo finished speaking, she fell silent for a while. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she lay prostrate under Shushu's paws with shining eyes.
