Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Lan Yueliang glared disapprovingly at Xiao Yinhua, took two steps forward, and picked up the bewildered black pearl.

With a gentle flick, it landed safely on my head.

"Little Silver Flower! How many times have I told you not to bully your little brother!"

Mingxi grabbed the tip of Xiaoyinhua's ear, not with much force, but with a strong warning.

"Lolo..."

Little Silver Flower pouted, blinked her big eyes, and looked pitiful.

I haven't been able to cuddle with my sister in ages. Lately, she's only been hugging that annoying, silly mermaid!

Mingxi sighed.

Loosen your grip on its ears and start kneading instead of pulling.

"I know you didn't mean it." You just want to win my favor.

"But the black pearl has only been hatched for a short time, and it suffered from congenital deficiencies because it shared the energy consumption with you in order to save me."

It's inevitable that I'll pay more attention to it, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you guys.

She paused:

"Whether it's you, or Jin Yuanbao, Lan Yueliang, or Fei Lengcui, you are all very important to me. You will be my lifelong partners, family, and friends."

However, humans are complex beings with selfish desires, capable of developing feelings of favoritism or affection towards certain people or pets.

I don't deny that some emotions are beyond the control of reason.

But I promise I'll never rank you in my mind, okay?

This is the dilemma faced by families with two children.

Parents often neglect the older child because they care about the younger one, which often makes the older child feel wronged.

The most important issue for families with two or more children is how to treat older children equally and balance their relationships.

"Youyan".

Jin Yuanbao naturally heard these words as well.

He glanced back at Mingxi, his blood-red eyes sparkling like rubies.

Xiao Yinhua is just too pretentious.

Competing with a little kitten for attention is really making me look younger.

Didn't see it.

Jin Yuanbao's mindset is completely different from Xiao Yinhua's. This young master is never jealous of any beast. He only knows that he is irreplaceable in the heart of his own beast tamer.

Will suffice.

In reality, Jin Yuanbao's mentality is one of "being favored and fearless". As long as it believes that it is the most favored one, it is difficult for it to have negative emotions such as loss and jealousy.

Little Silver Flower has a changeable personality, but she is not really jealous or envious. After all, her mental world is the most stable.

It bullies Black Pearl; it's simply mischievous and playful.

Therefore, Mingxi's words were more intended for Lan Yueliang and Fei Lengcui than for Xiao Yinhua.

Of Mingxi's five pet beasts, Lan Yue Liang and Fei Leng Cui are the most sensitive and prone to overthinking.

"Lolo."

Little Yinhua leaned against Mingxi's chest, indicating that she was still a baby and didn't understand anything.

Seeing that it was being unreasonable, Mingxi didn't say anything more.

Even if it does something bad, it knows its limits. Just like how it deliberately pushed the black pearl aside, but secretly used its telekinetic power to control the speed at which the black pearl fell.

Its unconventionality doesn't mean it's not gentle.

"Next, we'll go find astringent fruit, and then..."

After reuniting with Xiaoyinhua and the other two, Mingxi basically had no more worries.

With the map in hand, the search for the astringent fruit went without any unexpected incidents.

And after Mingxi obtained the astringent fruit—

"Urgent notice: All eight flavor fruits have now been found! The location of the eight flavor fruits will now be enabled for all participants free of charge for half an hour."

Mingxi: "..."

I knew the Investiture of the Gods platform would cause trouble.

However, they didn't let everyone use points to buy the Eight Flavor Fruit for location, which doesn't fit the style of the Investiture of the Gods.

Could it be that he's had a change of heart?

It's impossible to have a conscience.

The Fengshentai were only warned by a few major families.

"Drip drip!"

An alarm sounded during Mingxi's personal interruption.

She opened the event backend and indeed saw a clear, enlarged 3D map with eight red dots on it.

Needless to say, these eight red dots represent the eight kinds of fruit.

Five of the red dots overlap, while the remaining three red dots are located in different directions.

"What's going on? How come five red dots are in the same place?"

At this moment, almost all the participants frowned as they looked at the map in front of them. "Could it be... that someone obtained five Eight-Flavor Fruits by themselves? Who is it? That's amazing."

Of course, some people have already guessed it.

"Could it be her?"

"It must be her."

"Go over and have a look!"

With her location exposed, Mingxi was certain that all the participants would head in her direction.

"Okay, that saves me the trouble of finding ways to bother others. Now it seems like I just need to sit back and wait for the wool to come to me."

"However... waiting for others to come to me is not my style... and I'd easily get ganged up on."

The prodigies like Lu Yunshen are not the same global candidates she encountered on the Creation Fruit; their strength should not be underestimated.

One on one.

Or one against two.

Mingxi believed she could handle it.

But if more than 20 people joined forces, even if she and Jin Yinlan Feihei had three heads and six arms, they would not be a match for so many geniuses.

Therefore, we cannot sit idly by and wait for death.

Mingxi touched her chin.

Looking at his five pet beasts, he thought, "It seems we still need to make some preparations, and then bleed a little more, and we should be absolutely certain of success..."

Mingxi and Jin Yinlan Feihei exchanged a glance.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The man and the four beasts revealed wicked smiles in perfect unison.

Black Pearl tilted her head, (???w?)?

-

"Depend on!"

"How could there be a trap here? Damn! What the hell is that?"

"boom!"

"..."

"No! Don't move! Don't pull my bitter tea!"

"Hello classmate, you now have two choices: one, voluntarily admit defeat and hand over all your points and rule cards; two, lose your bitter tea."

"...I...I surrender!"

Before he could even react, his own pet was trapped in the opponent's trap and barrier, and subjected to a barrage of attacks.

What's even more frustrating is that the cunning caterpillar fungus took advantage of his inattention and used a vine to grab his bitter tea seed. If it pulled hard, the bitter tea seed could fall apart at any moment.

In this situation, does he still have a choice?

The young man looked at the smiling girl opposite him with a bitter expression, even though he wanted to accuse her of cheating and using underhanded methods.

She actually ordered her pet beast to 'attack' him!

But this is not the battle arena.

The cordyceps only tugged at his waistband and trouser legs, and did not actually cause him any real harm.

So he had no one to reason with.

You can only admit defeat.

"Congratulations to Miss [Colorful] for defeating [Starry Wish] and obtaining all of the opponent's points and rule cards."

Mingxi glanced at the backstage area.

I'm very satisfied with the behavior of the first lamb that arrived; it was quite sensible!

She glanced again at the three pet beasts trapped in Little Silver Flower's Void of Chaos not far away.

A very nice pet.
