All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Upon hearing this, Nian Zhao quickly turned his head and looked around in a panic.

He then quickly pulled her back, saying, "Hurry, hurry, shut your mouth, let's go inside and talk."

Feng Ning was pulled inside by him, looking completely bewildered. It wasn't until they returned to her courtyard that Nian Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? Did you really go and steal? Or are you being chased by a dog?"

Nian Zhao coughed lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to borrow it! Borrow it!"

Next, Feng Ning saw him secretly take out a fluffy little thing from behind his back.

Her eyes lit up immediately. "What an adorable kitten! Master, where did you get this?"

The kitten looked to be no bigger than the palm of my hand, its whole body curled up in a ball, sleeping very obediently, like a fluffy little ball.

If it weren't for the two ears sticking out, you really wouldn't be able to tell it's a kitten.

Nian Zhao handed the kitten forward, "Isn't it cute?"

Feng Ning quickly took the kitten from his hands and placed it in her own. It hadn't even changed shape; it was still curled up in a ball.

She felt her heart melt.

"So cute!"

She had absolutely no resistance to furry things and was instantly captivated.

Feng Ning held the kitten in her arms before bringing up another matter.

“Master, I have a pill that is said to be able to repair meridians, but I don’t know if it’s true or not. Could you take me to Elder Yu so we can ask him?”

Nian Zhaoteng suddenly stood up from his chair. "Are you telling the truth?"

Feng Ning nodded. "There is such a thing, but I can't be sure if it's real or fake. We need to have it appraised by the elders."

Nian Zhao didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the person and walked out. "What are we waiting for? Why didn't you say so sooner? Hurry up, I'll take you there now."

Feng Ning was rendered speechless by his impulsive manner.

Resigned to her fate, she followed him outside.

However, the two had barely stepped out of the courtyard and hadn't even left when they heard an angry shout.

"Nian Zhao! You come out here!"

Nian Zhao shuddered, while Feng Ning looked puzzled.

This scene... it feels so familiar...

Then a figure quickly appeared in front of the two of them. "Nian Zhao! You little brat, do you want to die? How dare you steal my little brat?"

Feng Ning was completely bewildered by his two sons, but she also understood why they seemed so familiar.

It seemed like this was the same when they went to the Thunderbolt Gate a couple of days ago.

So... these people outside are here to cause trouble too?

To be precise, they came to teach people a lesson.

If she wasn't mistaken, the "little brat" this person was referring to was her master, and the "little brat" was the kitten in her hand.

Just say it!

Why does Nian Zhao look so guilty? Did he really go and steal someone's kitten?

No wonder it got beaten. Such a cute kitten! If it were its owner, it would be furious if it found out its beloved little darling had been stolen.

Nian Zhao said somewhat guiltily, "Elder Long, please calm down and let's talk this out."

He pointed to Feng Ning, who was standing to one side, and the kitten in her arms.

"Look, there are still two children here. Let's talk this out and not scare them."

Feng Ning also guessed the man's identity. Elder Long should be the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, Elder Long Fei.

Long Fei glanced at Feng Ning, then at the sleeping kitten in her arms, and barely managed to compose himself.

He lowered his voice and cursed, "You deserve to die! You actually stole my beast while I was away! Do you know it's only a month old? What can you do with such a tiny little thing if you take it home?"

Nian Zhao quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, that's not what I wanted to steal. It's just a coincidence that this little brat happened to bump into me."

Long Fei gritted his teeth, "You want to steal something else? Nian Zhao! Haven't you had enough of being beaten? Wait for me to beat you up myself."

Before Nian Zhao could say anything more, Long Fei waved his hand impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and give me back my son, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Feng Ning quickly took a step forward, lifted the kitten up, and said with a fawning expression, "Elder Long, don't be angry, it's fine. I'll give it back to you right away."

After she said that, Long Fei's expression visibly improved.

"You're quite sensible; you haven't been corrupted by your master."

After saying that, he came down from mid-air and stood on the ground.

Feng Ning walked forward and placed the cat in Long Fei's hands.

Nian Zhao shrank her neck, her eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at the kitten.

Long Fei clenched his fist. "You still dare to look?"

Nian Zhao sighed helplessly, "I really didn't mean to, I just stole the wrong thing..."

"Nian Zhao!"

Feng Ning quickly stepped between the two, "Master, please say less."

She was really worried to death.

Long Fei was so angry he laughed. "Fine, fine, you look quite aggrieved. Then tell me, why did you steal my kid? And who were you trying to steal?"

Nian Zhao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Ning, "You go back first, I'll talk to Elder Long."

There was a hint of distrust in Feng Ning's eyes.

Will these two start fighting later?

Nian Zhao nodded slightly at her, his expression no longer as joking as before.

Feng Ning entered the courtyard with some skepticism.

After her figure disappeared from sight, Nian Zhao said, "Elder Long, please forgive me. I didn't mean to steal it. I originally wanted to borrow it from you, but you weren't here, so I had to talk to them. But they wouldn't listen to me and even fought with me, which is why things are like this now."

"So what? Why would a sword cultivator like you steal my spirit beast? You don't even know how to control beasts."

Nian Zhao forced a smile. "You saw it just now too. My little apprentice can't use her spiritual power right now. When I'm not around, she even has trouble going out. I was just thinking of finding her a mount."

"Then why did you steal this brat? Even if your apprentice were just an ordinary person, he could have sat on it and killed it."

"I already said that what I wanted to steal wasn't it... Never mind, that's not important. What's important is that I ask Elder Long to do me this favor. My disciple has difficulty traveling, so please lend me a spirit beast. Once she recovers, I will definitely return it in its original condition. In return, if there's anything the elder wants, feel free to name your conditions. As long as it's within my power, I will go through fire and water for you."

Elder Long glanced at him, "You stormed Beast Taming Peak just for this?"
