The three-legged golden crow's eyes gleamed with urgency: "I can change my form, Master, please don't leave me in the deep mountains and forests."

She was surrounded by the scorching heat of the sun, which baked the ground beneath her feet until it cracked and split. The recruits involuntarily retreated further away, and in this unbearable heat, they felt that even breathing became difficult.

However, Lin Xiao, Hong Ying, and the other person seemed completely unaffected, as if the three-legged golden crow had deliberately kept the heat away from them.

The true fire of the sun gradually enveloped the three-legged golden crow, making it resemble a sun suspended in the sky.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the "sun" continued to shrink, eventually becoming as small as a hand.

The true fire of the sun slowly dissipated, revealing a small, exquisite, and extremely cute three-legged golden crow. She flapped her wings and flew happily towards Hongying.

Hongying instinctively reached out and caught her, and the three-legged golden crow nuzzled affectionately against her palm.

Curious, Hongying reached out and gently touched her forehead with her finger, but accidentally used too much force, causing her to lose her balance and sit directly on Hongying's palm.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry."

Hongying was somewhat panicked. Although this little guy looked small, he was someone with the strength of Klein.

The three-legged golden crow gently shook its head: "It's alright, Master. Are you satisfied with my current size?"

Hongying nodded, and this time stroked her forehead even more gently: "So what's your name?"

The three-legged golden crow tilted its head and thought for a moment: "I don't know, Master, please give me a name?"

Hongying turned to look at Lin Xiao, her eyes full of pleading; she really wasn't good at naming things.

Lin Xiao stroked his chin, a mischievous idea popping into his head: "How about we name her Yan Ling Ji?"

Hongying thought the name was quite good, so she gently poked the three-legged golden crow: "Then you will be called Yan Lingji from now on."

Yan Lingji jumped up and down excitedly: "Great~ I have a name now, my name is Yan Lingji!"

Hongying was also very happy. She put Yanlingji on her shoulder and kissed Lin Xiao on the cheek: "Little brother, I really like this gift."

"Ew~ How embarrassing, Master is kissing in front of everyone."

Yan Lingji watched this scene from Hong Ying's shoulder, jumping excitedly.

Hongying's cheeks flushed instantly, and she gently poked Yanlingji with her finger: "Little one, just watch, don't make a sound."

Yan Lingji obediently responded, then plopped down on Hong Ying's shoulder and let out a soft "Oh".

At this moment, Yuan Gang looked at Yan Lingji on Hong Ying's shoulder with a shocked expression, then turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Um... Instructor Lin, I have to report this to Commander Ye. I really dare not hide it."

Lin Xiao nodded casually: "It's alright, just go ahead and report. If nothing unexpected happens, each member of my special team should have a Klein-level mount from now on."

Yuan Gang's eyes widened in disbelief. He desperately wanted to ask if he could join Lin Xiao's special team, even if it was just doing odd jobs. After all, Lin Xiao was a mount of the Klein realm!

At this moment, Lin Qiye and the others also gathered around. Meng Yingxue and Molly were immediately attracted by Yan Lingji, who was being teased by Lin Wan'er.

"She's so cute, Sister Hongying, can I touch her?"

"Sister Hongying, I want to touch it too."

Meng Yingxue and Molly asked one after the other. They were both girls and couldn't resist the temptation of cute creatures.

Hongying gently nudged Yanlingji: "Little one, go play with them."

Yan Lingji obediently responded and then flapped her wings and flew to Lin Wan'er's hand. Meng Yingxue and Molly immediately gathered around Lin Wan'er, and the three of them happily stroked Yan Lingji.

Baili Pangpang looked on with envy and immediately hugged Lin Xiao's leg: "Brother Xiao, if you have any more creatures like this in the future, can you sell them to me?"

Didn't you say we'd be forming a special team later? A mount like that would be incredibly cool! Name your price, I won't haggle.

Upon hearing Baili Pangpang's words, Lin Qiye and the others' eyes lit up with anticipation, clearly showing their excitement.

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, and he looked at Shen Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, drag this landlord's stupid son away."

Shen Qingzhu walked up to Baili Pangpang, cracking her knuckles as she grinned, a kind smile spreading across her face: "Will you get up by yourself, or should I help you?"

Baili Pangpang nimbly got up from the ground and hid behind Lin Qiye.

Lin Xiao said helplessly, "It's really true that you're the landlord's silly son."

"How much do you think it would cost to buy a creature from the Klein realm as a mount? Even if I sold it to you, your Baili Group, despite its vast wealth, would definitely face a cash flow crisis after the purchase, wouldn't it?"

Baili Pangpang was taken aback; what Lin Xiao said did make sense.

Lin Qiye and the others also showed expressions of disappointment, but Lin Xiao smiled and said, "If there's a chance, I'll give you one. After all, you call me Brother Xiao."

Baili Pangpang hugged Lin Xiao's leg again: "Brother Xiao, from now on you are my brother!"

Lin Xiao kicked him away in disgust: "Get lost, get lost, don't hug me, you're a grown man."

Baili Pangpang rolled around on the ground and stood up with a grin.

Cao Yuan walked up behind Lin Xiao and whispered, "Brother Xiao is so good to us, shouldn't we celebrate? How about we toss him up in the air?"

Lin Qiye also revealed a sly smile and approached Lin Xiao. Even Shen Qingzhu and Baili Pangpang silently walked towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao swallowed hard: "Judging from your expressions, it seems like you're holding back something. Get back to training, stop throwing things around."

Cao Yuan grabbed Lin Xiao's armpits first: "Go!"

The crowd rushed forward and immediately lifted Lin Xiao up. With a sudden burst of strength, Lin Xiao instantly experienced the feeling of being shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Lin Qiye caught Lin Xiao steadily, his eyes full of sincerity: "Brother Xiao, we're really serious. In those movies, people who make great contributions or are the boss are often tossed up in the air to celebrate. You've taken such good care of us, so naturally you should experience it too."

Lin Xiao was helplessly tossed up again, and finally lay on his side with one hand supporting his head, as if he was about to fly into the sky.

After they put Lin Xiao down, Lin Xiao muttered speechlessly, "Just say what you have to say. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Lin Qiye scratched his head sheepishly: "Brother Xiao, we want you to ask Commander Ye if we can directly form a special team."

We'd discussed it beforehand. We're all on good terms, so if we're on the same team, we'll definitely get stronger the fastest.

Baili Pangpang and the others looked at Lin Xiao with great anticipation.
