l techniques, learn by yourself! Not bad..." Xiang you casually replied.He was indeed a self-taught prodigy, sneaking to observe others' techniques and then diving into books before delving into his o...Chapter 218 Because, It's Chichi!

One has only one chance to choose a life companion, so this is very important for both humans and beasts!!

However, given Xianyao’s situation, Eastbound Wunian and the elders believe that Xianyao should accept this life beast because it's incredibly powerful!!

Generally speaking, a life beast will only bond with someone if they are willing to or have been tamed. Otherwise, even if facing death, they won’t sign a contract, meaning usually, the life beasts one gets are weaker than oneself.

Xianyao, however, has an entire demon tribe as his life beast, which is a stroke of incredible luck. Moreover, Xianyao practices the Divine Farmer’s Technique and lacks offensive capabilities; hence, his life beast is his best attack method.

Having this life beast should only bring immense benefits to Xianyao without any drawbacks!

At this point, Eastbound Wunian and others even think that the ten-thousand-year ginseng was worth it. If comparing a ten-thousand-year ginseng with Snow Wolf as a life beast, everyone would choose Snow Wolf, perhaps even trade another ten-thousand-year ginseng.

Therefore, Xianyao is fortunate, extremely fortunate; at least Eastbound Wunian and the elders feel this way. They believe there’s no reason for him to refuse!

Unless Xianyao doesn’t know the situation!!

But Xianyao's answer surprises them. Not only does he reject, but he also knows about life beasts!!

"I know what a life beast is! But I still can't accept it; you cannot be my life beast. Go back!" Xianyao said to the Snow Wolf.

“Why” Everyone wanted to know the reason.

"Because, I can't have another life beast anymore!!" Xianyao said indifferently.

“What do you mean” Eastbound Wunian was puzzled.

“It means that I already have a life beast. A person can only have one life beast, not two!” Xianyao smiled and answered calmly.

"You already have a life beast Where is it What is it" Eastbound Wunian asked consecutively, then discarded the thought immediately.

How could that be. No one would choose such...

“It’s this little glutton right here!” Xianyao patted Chichi who had jumped into his arms, while Chichi looked proud.

"Ah..." Eastbound Wunian and the elders gaped with mouths wide open; Snow Wolf frowned. No one expected it to be Chichi, but somehow felt it was reasonable that Xianyao would give up a ten-thousand-year ginseng for Chichi, who he could understand even others couldn’t.

Now they somewhat understood why Xianyao hadn't broken through the basics; there’s Chichi. But why did Xianyao make Chichi his life beast

The reason was already given: due to spiritual fire, he needed a way to release excessive internal energy. Practicing Divine Farmer's Technique alone wasn’t enough; he had to find another method or risk losing his life.

So Xianyao went to the pet shop and bought this small beast Chichi on a whim, then signed a contract with it to make it his life beast. Such low-level beasts were extremely easy to bind into a contract with no difficulty at all.

After becoming a life beast, Chichi started consuming half of Xianyao’s internal energy, which was precisely what he wanted. The rest was controlling himself.

No one knew why after that Chichi gradually began to consume internal energy; apart from the half already consumed, it could still eat away at any excess internal energy Xianyao needed to release.

This might be due to a life beast's evolution; as Xianyao released his internal energy, it made Chichi start evolving bit by bit. Over these years, Chichi kept evolving and gained some incredible abilities.

Perhaps only by nurturing a life beast from childhood can such an ability occur, yet no one on this continent would raise a life pet like Xianyao; even if they knew Chichi's abilities, unless someone was determined to have it as a helper, warriors wouldn't keep a life pet.

Because doing so might lead to significant losses!!

"Chichi!!" Chichi called proudly, seemingly very proud of being Xianyao’s life beast. At the same time, it didn’t allow others to take its place; naturally, it didn't know this position was unassailable.

At this moment, Eastbound Wunian felt a pity for Xianyao who had a powerful beast like Snow Wolf but ended up with Chichi looking useless.

If Xianyao knew about Eastbound Wunian's thoughts, he would only smile. He doesn’t think Chichi is without use; on the contrary, its role has always been there, and now it’s still evolving. Who can guarantee that in the future, its importance won't surpass Snow Wolf

If time could be rewound, Xiaoyao would still choose to make Chichi his destined demon beast, and he wouldn't regret this decision in his entire life!!

Because it's Chichi!

Because there was no choice!

Because it's fate... damn it, I should have never given the Second Miss her soup!!”

Xiaoyao has been a bit annoyed lately, just a tiny bit annoyed!!

However, his annoyance is something that many people would desire. There are countless individuals in Heaven Gate who envy his treatment.

Pity, jealousy, hatred!!

These three words can express the feelings of most people!

After returning from training, Xiaoyao originally believed he could quietly and secretly open the treasure vault. But unexpectedly, since returning, everything has become busy. Not only does he have to do work in the herb garden but also work in the kitchen.

As a peripheral staff member of Heaven Gate, Xiaoyao feels that he should follow orders from above, so he started running between the two places.

The reason for working in the kitchen was mainly to cook something for Dongfang Wuniang because besides what Xiaoyao cooks, she seems unable to eat anything else.

Xiaoyao finds this a bit strange. There doesn't seem to be any reason; if she has started eating again, shouldn’t she be able to eat everything Why does she only like food he makes

For this reason, Xiaoyao tried making different dishes and discovered that Dongfang Wuniang can’t finish them if they are not tasty. If the dish is a bit unpalatable, she won't even take a bite!

Damn it, this Second Miss really is hard to please; I have to cook for her and make sure it’s good too!!

When Xiaoyao realized he only needed to handle Dongfang Wuniang's meals, he stopped doing other tasks. He can reasonably arrange his schedule so that he need visit the kitchen once a day or even every two days. He can also arrange for others to help with tasks like watching the fire and doing things that don't require special skills.

No one dared to object to this arrangement. As long as Dongfang Wuniang can eat, they wouldn’t mind at all. They would be glad if Xiaoyao handled it like this because then they could learn his cooking techniques and perhaps replicate some meals for her themselves.

If their kitchen could make food that Dongfang Wuniang could eat, in the future, the credit would belong to them and they might even get a reward from the Sect Leader!

However, something puzzling happened. No matter what they did or how accurately they replicated Xiaoyao’s process and ingredients, the result was that Dongfang Wuniang couldn’t eat any of it.

Why Nobody could explain this phenomenon, not even Xiaoyao or Dongfang Wuniang herself.

Xiaoyao didn't care about this matter either. He would just do his part and casually help out in the kitchen. If he needed to leave, he wouldn’t stay because of this reason. If one day Dongfang Wuniang couldn’t eat anything else, Xiaoyao would tell her that she could continue taking辟穀丹 (pellets for fasting).

Whether she can keep eating or not is none of my business; I certainly won't cook for her all my life!

Since he now receives attention and his actions generally go unchallenged, especially regarding the herb garden. Even if Xiaoyao does nothing, there would be no problems. And since he always manages to handle things well, nobody would bother him.

Xiaoyao usually spends most of his time in the herb garden now, and only occasionally visits the kitchen. No one disturbs his life, allowing him to slowly implement his plan for opening the treasure vault.

He utilizes Chichi’s unique abilities to dig a secret passage from his small house directly into the vault without even needing to open the main door, making it seem as if no one had ever entered it before.

The tunnel isn't very large and especially through the part of the vault wall, there's only a hole big enough for Chichi. Xiaoyao used bone-muscle softening techniques to enter, but he first ensured with Chichi that there was no danger inside.

Chichi acts as a great scout for Xiaoyao, and he doesn't worry about any traps harming Chichi; not only does it have its special ability to consume everything, but also can handle any mechanism encountered.

To Xiaoyao, the mechanisms within this vault are treasures themselves and very valuable ones at that. This is why for some time after entering the vault, he hardly touched anything inside and focused on studying those mechanisms instead.

If anyone found out about this, they would be shocked because it's hard to believe someone entering such a large treasure vault would find its mechanisms more interesting than the treasures within.

But value is subjective. If the mechanism designers were here, they might also study these mechanisms, especially those who are solely focused on mechanics and not swayed by money.

To Xiaoyao, this vault itself is a treasure; its mechanical designs and structure are all precious treasures!ittle bit of everything without being experts.If that's the case, then the slogan makes sense and is not worthy of being wondered about in surprise."Boss, buy some walnuts!""Coming..."The businessman...
