Before they knew it, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had been chatting for a long time. The moon and stars had appeared over the night sky when An Lin finally came out.

He was a little taken aback upon discovering the absence of Xiao Ze, Xue Zhantian, and Tina.

However, when he turned toward the dorm room beside Xu Xiaolan’s room and found that it was quite brightly lit, a thought began to occur to him.

An Lin entered through the door to find a lively and bustling scene in the hall as his beast pet team interacted with one another in the lobby.

Da Bai and Little Lang were having the time of their lives slapping around the furball that was Xue Zhantian. Even though Xue Zhantian was yelling for them to stop, a peculiar flush of excitement could be seen on his furry face.

It had to be said, wolves and dogs all had a propensity for ball-shaped toys.

Xiao Hong and Tina were conversing with one another on the windowsill.

“Huh? So I can photosynthesize just by activating my cultivation method like so?” Tina spread her semi-transparent golden wings, and a faint glow emanated forth from them, as if she was gathering power.

“That’s right! We can still photosynthesize for another fifteen minutes before the sun completely sets below the horizon!” Xiao Hong wobbled her head from side to side in excitement.

Xiao Chou stood off to the side with a disconsolate expression as well as crushing sadness on his face, as if he had received a heavy psychological blow.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ze tried to console him as a mature mentor figure, and his tender, youthful features created an adorable contrast with the expression of maturity on his face.

A slight smile appeared on An Lin’s face. This atmosphere made him feel very warm on the inside.

He had initially thought that he would have to introduce his new beast pets to his existing beast pet team, but it looked like he could be spared the effort now as they were all quite familiar with one another already.

“Big Brother An, you’re finally back, woof!” Da Bai pounced toward An Lin while elation appeared on his face.

An Lin stroked Da Bai’s head while grinning widely. “You’re this happy to see me after just one month apart?”

Da Bai’s tongue rolled out of his mouth as he licked An Lin’s face. “Of course. Thank you for recruiting two more underlings for me! Woof!”

An Lin’s face convulsed slightly. So that was what Da Bai was happy about?

He detected Da Bai’s aura to find that it had become more powerful and robust, which indicated that he was probably not far away from attaining his own domain.

Xiao Hong’s cultivation base had stabilized at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage, and with the assistance of the Blood God Jade, she was now close to reaching the Soul Formation Stage.

However, the beast pet that had improved the most was the White Scale Wolf God. He was already at the pinnacle of the Soul Formation Stage when he left the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds with An Lin, and upon coming to the Heavenly Court, which provided a much more ideal cultivation environment, he had managed to break through to Return to Void Stage.

Apparently, Vice-Principal Yu Hua provided a lot of assistance to the White Scale Wolf God during his tribulation transcendence, so An Lin had to set aside some time to visit Yu Hua to express his gratitude.

“Master! Master! I heard that I have underlings too now, and all three of them are Blood Tribe Return to Void Stage mighty figures, is that true?” Little Lang ran toward An Lin with an obedient expression as he wagged his tail with elation.

An Lin stroked Little Lang’s white fur. With a smile, he said, “That’s right. I can introduce them to meet you if the opportunity arises in the future. You’re their leader, so you have to set a good example.”

Little Lang took a deep breath and nodded as excitement and determination glowed in his eyes. “I’ll be sure to so!”

To be able to make three Return to Void Stage mighty figures into his slaves within the short span of a month…

The White Scale Wolf God had indeed followed the correct master!

An Lin sat down on a chair before clapping his hands. “Gather around, it’s time for me to distribute some benefits!”

All the beast pets’ eyes lit up as they gathered around An Lin.

Xiao Hong couldn’t be bothered moving as she continued to photosynthesize.

Tina also continued photosynthesizing by Xiao Hong’s side.

An Lin’s face convulsed upon seeing this.

Has she already led Little Na down the wrong path?

He couldn’t allow this to continue!

No, he had to show Tina who was the boss of this household.

“Ahem…” An Lin cleared his throat. With a stern expression, he said to the two beast pets on the windowsill, “Xiao Hong, Little Na, what are you two doing? Come on over and gather around.”

“Don’t mind me, I still have to photosynthesize…” Xiao Hong refused in a sweet voice.

“Big Sister Hong told me that each and every ray of sunlight is a valuable resource that is not to be wasted. We have to capture the light of the dying sun; otherwise, we will never get it back,” Tina chimed in.

An Lin’s chest constricted. “Don’t worry, the sun will rise tomorrow as well! You can continue photosynthesizing when the time comes!”

Xiao Hong shook her head in disagreement. “That’s different! Tomorrow’s sun is tomorrow’s sun! Today’s sun is today’s sun! Each and every ray of sunlight only belongs to that particular time period and is irreplaceable!”

“Wow! Big Sister Hong is right!”

Tina clapped her hands in amazement, as if she had been won over by the indisputable scientific evidence presented by Researcher Hong.

An Lin: “…”

“Ignore them, Big Brother An. Show us the benefits, woof!” Da Bai spoke with excitement on his face.

An Lin nodded in resignation before gripping onto his storage ring.

Light flashed from the storage ring as a hundred and twenty spirit pills and a hundred and twenty spirit fruits appeared on the table. Some even fell down onto the ground while emanating a collective, brilliant light.

“Da Bai, Xiao Chou, Little Lang, Little Tian, take twenty spirit pills and spirit fruits each.”

“Long live, Master! Woof!” Da Bai pounced onto the spirit pills and spirit fruits with elation.

“Master is the epitome of generosity and philanthropy…” Xue Zhantian also sprang into action. He quickly picked out all the ice-type spirit pills and spirit fruits.

Xiao Chou and Little Lang also followed suit as they picked out what they wanted from the mountain of spirit pills and spirit fruits.

Were spirit pills and spirit fruits valuable? Of course they were!

The average Soul Formation Stage cultivator probably wouldn’t even have a total of twenty spirit pills and twenty spirit fruits.

Hence, this was the equivalent of each beast pet receiving a massive package of value in excess of a Soul Formation Stage cultivator’s net worth. How could they not be excited?

Thus, Da Bai, Xiao Chou, Little Lang, and Little Tian all chose the spirit pills and spirit fruits of their desires.

“Little Xiao, give these forty spirit pills and spirit fruits to Little Na and Xiao Hong,” An Lin instructed.

Xiao Ze nodded with a smile before unleashing a spell technique to transport the spirit pills and spirit fruits to Tina and Xiao Hong.

Tears welled up in Tina’s eyes as she stared at An Lin with shock etched onto her face. “Giant An Lin, I can have twenty spirit pills and twenty spirit fruits as well?”

An Lin nodded with a smile. “Of course. I’ve told you this before; we’re a family from now on.”

This was the moment for him to display his kindness as their master.

It didn’t matter how Xiao Hong and Tina treated him. He could forgive them regardless of how bad their attitudes were toward him.

His attitude toward them did not change…

Sure enough, Tina had already been moved to the point of breaking down in sobs as she wiped tears from her face.

Even Xiao Hong withdrew her petals as she accepted the spirit pills and spirit fruits before making her way toward An Lin with Tina in tow. “Come on, Little Na. There’s no sun now.”

“Huh? I can still detect a few faint rays of sunlight using the cultivation method you taught me,” Tina replied with a quizzical expression.

Xiao Hong pulled Tina toward the rest of the beast pets while replying in a sweet voice, “It’s just a little bit, so it doesn’t matter. Besides, it’s warmer over there now.”
