How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

While comforting herself, Ye Yueyue recalled Tan Jinglun's actions and first tried to soothe the spirit beast she was about to tame.

Ye Yueyue simulated the process in her mind and found that she had memorized everything without missing anything. Her confidence soared. Just as she focused her mind, she saw Yang Ling giving her a thumbs-up from below the stage.

Ye Yueyue smiled at her and made the same gesture.

Ming Qiuyang pursed his lips when he saw this scene; the short guy's smile was so silly.

This time, the spirit beast is not an eagle, but a rat. It is furry all over and looks a bit like a hamster but not quite, because it is twice the size of a hamster.

Ye Yueyue wasn't surprised after seeing the two-horned tusk boar; the cultivation world has spiritual energy, so it's normal for it to grow bigger.

The hamster stood blankly on the stone table, unlike the eagle which was restless. Seeing this, Ye Yueyue gained more confidence. However, just as she confidently took a step forward, it moved.

As soon as Ye Yueyue approached, it suddenly took a step back and squeaked twice at her warily as a warning.

Then Ye Yueyue moved forward and it retreated, and Ye Yueyue retreated and it moved forward, their movements synchronized as if premeditated. The two, human and mouse, watched each other like this.

Tan Jinglun frowned as he looked at it.

He hadn't held out much hope that his disciple would succeed, but he had said from the beginning that he needed to appease him before signing the contract, and the disciple hadn't remembered that at all.

Tan Jinglun knew that this person was not from their Beast Peak. Over the years, they had occasionally encountered some curious disciples who came to Beast Peak to learn, but none of them could persevere.

It's one thing to lack talent, but even those who are talented only have a short attention span. He hates these kinds of disciples the most; they're simply wasting his time.

A flicker of impatience crossed Tan Jinglun's eyes, and he couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Without focus, nothing can be accomplished."

? ?

Ye Yueyue silently rolled her eyes in her mind. Old wall lamp, how could you tell that I wasn't sincere?

Ye Yueyue didn't show it on her face. She lowered her head and closed her eyes, and her vision was immediately plunged into darkness. However, after she released her divine sense, she could see everything around her.

She could clearly sense that it hadn't moved from that spot, so Ye Yueyue began to use her mental power to contact it.

After touching it, Ye Yueyue could clearly feel its emotions.

It was an intense emotion; even though it hadn't uttered a word, she knew what it was thinking.

It was curious, but also a little scared.

Curious about what? Ye Yueyue suddenly became a little curious as well. She used her mental energy to stroke it and convey her emotions to it.

Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

Seemingly sensing her friendliness, the spirit beast in front of her gradually stabilized, and Ye Yueyue immediately felt a single emotion: curiosity.

When she opened her eyes, all she saw was the hamster taking a step toward her, even though she hadn't moved back.

Ye Yueyue was a little surprised. She tentatively took a step forward, gently and slowly.

Then it paused slightly, but didn't move.

So Ye Yueyue slowly moved a little closer. Seeing the still calm spirit beast, a look of determination flashed in her eyes. Ye Yueyue formed hand seals and used the contract technique she knew by heart.

A beam of light descended, tightly binding the spirit beast. The next second, both of them shone with light and then disappeared.

Contract reached!

As the contract was formed, Ye Yueyue felt a connection appear in her mind. The stronger emotions that had just been felt during the mental contact appeared. Now, she could clearly perceive the cat-sized hamster in front of her without using her divine sense. After forming the contract, Ye Yueyue also learned its name.

Treasure-hunting mouse.

It can automatically identify nearby treasures, possesses an innate keen sense of perception, a talent for avoiding danger, and is very fast.

It is a type of spirit beast that is relatively difficult to form a contract with.

Of course, Ye Yueyue was unaware of this. At this moment, she was happily hugging the treasure-hunting rat. After the contract was formed, it became more docile and squeaked at Ye Yueyue.

Her voice was childlike and adorable.

The treasure hunter is a fluffy gray creature that looks a bit like that meme from my past life—a hamster holding sunflower seeds. So cute! >_<

Tan Jinglun was stunned. A rare look of satisfaction appeared on his usually rigid and serious face. Then, remembering what he had just said, he blushed again.

A complex look flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly before turning and leaving.

After Tan Jinglun left, calls suddenly rang out in the classroom.

"Wow, Junior Sister Yue!" Yang Ling, sitting in the audience, gave her a thumbs-up and a look of approval.

"I never thought Elder Tan would have a day when he'd be at a disadvantage, hahaha." One of the male disciples burst into laughter.

"He always has a stern face. If you didn't know better, you'd think you owed him spirit stones. I'm speechless."

"Isn't that right? He picked me before, but I didn't succeed like Junior Sister Yue, and I got a severe scolding. I really don't understand, if I knew how, why would I be here in class? I'd just go on a training trip, okay?"

The other disciples nodded in complete agreement upon hearing this.

“Yes, look at how red his face was just now, it was even more eye-catching than the jewelry I’m wearing today.” The female disciple who hadn’t spoken in class pointed silently to the accessories on her waist.

Her eyes and words couldn't hide her smile.

The others looked in the direction she was referring to and immediately saw a bright red tassel.

Speaking of this, the others also noticed Ye Yueyue's clothes.

"Junior Sister Yue is also dressed in red, just like Elder Tan's face, hahaha."

"Junior Sister Yue, from now on we're fellow disciples from the same peak. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand," a male disciple who had been tricked said solemnly.

He was also a disciple of Biefeng before. At first, he didn't understand and was severely harassed when he asked a few questions. Today, Ye Yueyue finally gave him a chance to vent his anger.

"Me too, Junior Sister Yue!"

Ye Yueyue looked at the crowd calling out to her and stepped down without any hesitation, squinting her eyes as she said, "Alright, senior sisters and brothers, I'll be looking forward to your guidance in the future~"

Ming Qiuyang was quite surprised at first; this short guy actually had quite a bit of talent.

Seeing everyone surrounding her, and her silly smile, yet so indifferent to him, Ming Qiuyang felt a strange mix of emotions.

“If anyone should be teaching, it’s me.” He stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Yueyue, lowering his head slightly as he looked at her.

So short.

"How about it? Think about it, little guy."

Ming Qiuyang is 1.9 meters tall, two heads taller than Ye Yueyue. When they stand together, she only reaches his chest.

Ye Yueyue felt a shadow loom over her, blocking out the sunlight. She turned around and looked up.

Hearing this title made her feel inexplicably inferior. Ye Yueyue frowned and looked at the tall man in front of her, feeling somewhat unconvinced.

She glanced around, then nimbly leaped onto a nearby chair, standing parallel to Ming Qiuyang.

"Okay."
