Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

When camping in the wild, keeping watch is essential; otherwise, you might fall asleep and be carried off by a wild animal without anyone knowing.

Beastmasters have pet beasts, so they don't have the problem of having no one to keep watch at night when they travel alone.

Jin Yuanbao flapped its wings and chirped twice, indicating that it didn't need her and could keep watch all night.

They're getting more and more considerate.

Is this what the eldest brother's awareness is like?

However, Mingxi still refused: "We don't know what we'll encounter tomorrow. You are our main force, and the safety of me and Locke Xiumi depends on you, so you must ensure you get enough sleep to be in better condition."

She stroked its tail feathers, which had slightly recovered their original appearance after drinking the healing potion. "Good boy."

Jin Yuanbao knew that he had a great responsibility, so he could only compromise and nod.

When the little one in Mingxi's arms saw this, he pouted slightly and suddenly reached out to hug Mingxi's neck.

"Lolo."

"Lolo."

Sister, others can protect you and help keep watch at night.

Its voice is soft and milky, both cute and sweet.

It melts one's heart when listening to it.

Mingxi looked down and patted its head. "You're a great little guy, but you can forget about keeping watch. You've only just hatched, and the energy from your eggshell hasn't been fully digested yet. It would be best if you went into the pet space to cultivate."

"Lolo."

Don't go into the pet space, I want to stay with my sister.

Mingxi was naturally willing to fulfill this small request, and she hugged it as she lay down on the sleeping bag.

This little guy is the perfect size to be used as a pillow.

In her eyes, Lockeshmi was just a newly hatched baby beast.

What kind of scheming could a little kitten possibly have?

Only Jin Yuanbao felt that something was off.

Is it just its imagination?

Is the new girl trying to steal the attention of her master beast tamer?

The night passed peacefully in the end.

Mingxi woke up before 5 a.m., and she woke up Jin Yuanbao at 2 a.m. so she could go to sleep.

It's been less than three hours.

She was jolted awake, feeling like she was having difficulty breathing, as if her throat was being choked.

It's still a little cold.

Look down.

The sleeping bag zipper had been ripped open at some point, and Locke was lying head down on top of her, its tail wrapped tightly around her neck.

No wonder she felt short of breath and her neck felt cold; the culprit was Locke Schumi.

It was sleeping with its arms outstretched, a suspicious line of liquid dripping from the corner of its mouth, and its eyelids slightly rolled back, looking utterly unseemly.

From Mingxi's perspective, Lockeshumi is like Jesus nailed to the cross, but with wings.

Its unrestrained sleeping posture is completely different from its appearance, and its elegant and holy state when awake.

"thunder?"

Jin Yuanbao, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, noticed that she was awake. He called out softly and asked her if she wasn't going to sleep anymore.

Mingxi shook her head.

She gently moved Locke's tail away, then slowly took him out of the sleeping bag, leaving Locke to sleep alone in the sleeping bag.

She quickly washed up, prepared energy pills for Jin Yuanbao, and ate half a compressed biscuit herself.

As for Locke's meals, she didn't need to worry about them these past two days.

After the extraordinary creatures hatch, it takes several days to digest just their eggshells.

They should be able to hold out for at least three to five days, right?

Mingxi instructed Jin Yuanbao to watch over the soundly sleeping Locke Xiumi, while she went to collect the sap from the solidified tree.

The condensing tree wasn't far from the cave; Jin Yuanbao could see it from the cave entrance, so he felt comfortable letting her go alone.

By the end of the night, the containers Mingxi had prepared were almost all filled with a thick, pale green liquid.

The method for collecting melted tree sap is similar to that for collecting rubber sap; after a few tries, it becomes quite easy.

Judging from the flow rate of the sap, Mingxi estimated that the tree could produce at least another twenty or thirty catties of molten sap.

So they cut several more openings and continued to place containers to collect the waste.

Fortunately, the Time Realm has enabled the storage function; otherwise, she wouldn't even have enough containers to hold all that tree sap.

Now you can collect it with one click, saving energy and protecting the environment.

Because of the Frozen Tree, Mingxi decided to just wander around the area today and not explore other places for the time being.

Although she wasn't sure of the value of the millennia-old sap, it certainly wouldn't be cheap.

If it weren't for the fact that retreating into the secret realm after such a rare opportunity would be neither in line with the principles of success nor economic efficiency, she would have stayed in this small valley until the secret realm passage appeared.

Locke Shumi didn't wake up until the sun was blazing.

It let out a soft, babyish cry.

Some are still out of sorts.

"woke up?"

The girl's gentle smiling face appeared before my eyes.

It is its beast tamer.

Upon seeing her, Locke immediately perked up.

"Lolo." Her older sister gave her a hug.

Before Mingxi could respond, it flew into her arms and wrapped its tail around her waist, much like Orochimaru's thick belt.

This little guy seems a bit clingy, probably because he's only recently been born.

I guess little kids all lack a sense of security.

Mingxi picked it up and taught it how to use the small toothbrush and towel.

She didn't know if other supernatural beings had this habit, but her pet beast had to develop the good habit of getting up early to wash its face and brush its teeth.

"Lolo."

My sister helped someone with their brushing.

It opened its mouth and showed her its sharp little baby teeth.

Looking at its two rows of sharp, rake-like teeth, Mingxi exclaimed, "With such good teeth, it must be able to eat anything with great relish."

Seeing how adorable it was, Mingxi finally gave in, but she declared:

"This is a one-time exception. Starting tonight, you must learn to brush your teeth and wash your face by yourself, understand?"

You must never develop a lazy and indolent nature.

Noticing her seriousness, Locke nodded.

It will definitely listen to its beast tamer and be a good baby.

Seeing it nod, Mingxi picked up the spare toothbrush with satisfaction, and after negotiating with Jin Yuanbao, squeezed out a little of its special toothpaste.

This pet toothpaste is a universal toothpaste for extraordinary creatures; it can be used by virtually all extraordinary creatures.

Mingxi began to carefully brush its teeth.

Locke Xiumi occasionally let out a soft, coquettish voice, as if she were being affectionate, or perhaps she was enjoying herself.

Jin Yuanbao, who was quietly standing aside, thought that the new girl was really useless. She even needed her own beast master to help her brush her teeth. She was too spoiled!

Will our own beast tamer have to clean up after it later?

What has become of our own beast tamer?

snort!

If it weren't for the fact that it was a female, it would have definitely taught it a lesson with its fists.

Ugh!

Female animals are such a hassle.

The day passed by very leisurely; digging for medicinal herbs and basking in the sun, the day simply flew by.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Mingxi was on vacation in a secluded paradise.

Before entering the Time Realm again that night, Locke's name was officially confirmed.

Compared to Jin Yuanbao, who had no concept of names and was indifferent to them, Locke Shumi was much more cautious and meticulous about the name that would accompany him throughout his life.
