Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

On the way back, Ni Jun stopped to rest by a pond.

Jialiu: "This pool is so beautiful, with so many gushing springs. We want to come here again next time."

Ling Guang: "There's spiritual energy in this pool; maybe we can catch a spirit fish. Ni Jun, do you want to go down and try your luck?"

Jialiu: "Brother Jun has been flying all day and is very tired. Let's go to the pool to look for the spirit fish again first thing tomorrow morning!"

Seeing how much Jia Liu cared for him, Ni Jun felt a warmth in his heart: "I'm not tired, I'll go down and find you some fish to eat in a bit."

"I don't want to eat fish today, Brother Jun. Let Father Lingguang find some wild game for us instead!"

Ling Guang: "You brat, why are you siding with outsiders? We're family!"

Jia Liu pouted and said, "I just want to eat some wild game today! Father Ling Guang hasn't exercised all day, so he should stretch his muscles and bones; it'll be good for his health. Remember to gather plenty of firewood!"

Although Ling Guang complained, he still quickly walked towards the woods.

Ni Jun was a bit tired from traveling these past two days, and soon fell asleep.

After a while, Ling Guang returned carrying a large bundle of firewood. He also had a string of game tied with vines on his shoulder, including two rabbits and a pheasant.

Jia Liu put her index finger to her lips, signaling Ling Guang to be quiet.

Ni Jun was fast asleep, so it seemed he wouldn't be able to help with the cooking.

Ling Guang reluctantly lit a fire and then quickly took the prey to the water's edge to process it.

After the prey was all roasted, Jia Liu fell asleep.

Ling Guang woke the two of them up impatiently: "The meat is ready, get up and eat quickly."

The two got up sleepily, ate a few bites of food, and then snuggled up on the animal skin rug to go back to sleep.

As dawn broke, Ni Jun got up and went to the edge of the pool.

Not long after entering the pool, they caught a spirit fish.

Ni Jun tied the spirit fish tightly to his waist with water plants and continued searching deeper into the pool. However, his luck seemed to have run out, and after searching for a long time, he finally found another spirit fish.

There must still be spirit fish in the pool, but they are hiding too well. Having already wasted enough time in the water, Ni Jun had no choice but to give up and quickly return to shore.

Jia Liu had already woken up and was looking towards the shore. When she saw Ni Jun returning with two strange spirit fish, she excitedly ran forward.

Brother Jun, why do these two fish have six legs? And why do their tails look so much like bird tails?

Ni Jun: "This is a kuji fish."

Ling Guang: "This fish not only has many legs, but its tail is also quite peculiar. However, its shape is very similar to that of a carp, so why is it called a '鮯鮯' fish?"

Ni Jun slammed the two fish heavily to the ground, and the spirit fish cried out in pain.

Jia Liu happily picked up a spirit fish: "So its name comes from this peculiar cry!"

Ni Jun: "Let's grill these two fish and have them for breakfast!"

Jia Liu clapped her hands happily: "Great! Great! Dig out the crystal core for me!"

After the sardines were grilled, Jia Liu pushed both fish in front of Ni Jun: "We still have a long journey ahead, so please eat more, Brother Jun!"

Ling Guang: "Jialiu! You're being so biased! Am I not allowed to eat?"

Jialiu: "Let's eat after Jun-gege has finished eating. It must have been hard for him to carry us on his back all this way!"

Ni Jun awkwardly placed a fish in Ling Guang's hand: "I can't eat this by myself, Lord Ling Guang, please eat it while it's hot!"

Ling Guang was eating grilled fish in a huff when he accidentally choked on a fish bone.

Jia Liu laughed unkindly: "Ling Guang's father got choked by his greedy mouth, it's so funny!"

Ni Jun quickly stepped forward: "Lord Ling Guang, are you alright!"

Ling Guang: "I'm fine! There are too many fish bones in this fish, you can have it!"

Ni Jun took out a few fruits from his bundle: "My lord, please have some fruits first. If it's not enough, I'll go hunting in the forest."

Ling Guang: "No need to trouble yourself! A few fruits will be enough for me. It's getting late, you guys hurry up and eat, then we'll set off."

Because he was carrying pine trees on his back, Ni Jun's pace was slower than when he came. Jia Liu felt he was working too hard and let him rest a little longer. So, after two more days and nights, the three of them finally returned to Chaoyang Valley with the pine trees and a large bag of pine needles.

Lu Yao was worried about the cubs, so she waited for them to return by the window every day. When she saw the three of them return, Lu Yao quickly ran out.

Jialiu: "Mother, come and see the saplings we brought back!"

Lu Yao touched the three-meter-tall sapling, and the system issued a notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully obtained a red pine tree. You are rewarded with one gold coin."
