Chapter 131: Phantom Beast Egg

"Xiaohu? Why are you running so fast?"

"Where are you going?"

At the entrance to his own door, Niu San saw his son, Niu Hu, running excitedly toward the outside of Shenglong Village.

He asked, puzzled.

Now!

Inside Shenglong Village.

Phantom beasts are everywhere, though all of them are functional-type phantom beasts.

But Xiao Xuan from the Shenglong Dojo said these phantom beasts all possess a certain combat capability.

They can guard the villagers, so he told the villagers not to worry about the safety around Shenglong Village.

And after witnessing Tian Ye and Wang Wa kill that giant lizard last time,

Niu San and the other villagers placed great trust in Chen Xuan.

Because they heard that the giant lizard was actually a Gold-rank phantom beast.

And their Xiao Xuan,

whose bonded Tian Ye and Wang Wa defeated that lizard,

proves his rank has reached above Gold.

They heard that,

even in the city, any Beast Tamer who reaches this rank is a genius.

Or else someone raised by a wealthy family—a Young Master.

Yet their Xiao Xuan, here in this place, has reached a level comparable to those geniuses.

They are extremely proud.

Xiao Xuan has truly come into his own.

No wonder he's the heir of the Shenglong Dojo.

They have completely come to regard Chen Xuan as the new guardian deity of Shenglong Village.

"Dad, I'm going to catch a phantom beast!"

Hearing Niu San call him, Niu Hu did not stop running.

Instead, he sprinted toward the small river outside the village.

"Catch a phantom beast?"

"Are you dreaming? Where are you going to find one to catch?"

"And you're too young—you can't bond with a phantom beast yet!"

Niu San nearly laughed in disbelief at Niu Hu's words.

Still, he wasn't truly angry.

"I don't care what phantom beast you want to catch, but don't run outside the village—it's dangerous out there!"

Niu San still called out fondly.

His son was obedient, so he doted on him deeply.

He believed Niu Hu wouldn't run off recklessly.

Of course, Chen Xuan had also told the villagers that Tian Ye and Wang Wa would automatically prevent village children from leaving alone.

That was one reason he felt at ease.

It's normal for children to be curious about phantom beasts.

As for catching phantom beasts, Niu San paid it no mind.

One cannot bond with a phantom beast until eighteen.

"Got it, Dad!"

"I'm just going to that little river—I'll be right back!"

Niu Hu's voice grew fainter.

……

"Oh my, my dear granddaughter, and little Hua—why did you bring me here?"

"You told me this was some scenic tourist spot? This tiny village?"

On the path of Shenglong Village,

three outsiders had arrived today.

Two of them were young girls.

Their delicate bodies radiated a youthful aura.

It made one think of unripe apples.

One couldn't help but want to take a bite.

"Grandpa, staying too long in the big city—sometimes coming to a small village like this isn't bad, is it?"

"More walking is good for your health!"

Liu Liu Qingqing smiled warmly as she supported an elderly man.

The white-haired elder was Liu Liu Qingqing's grandfather, Hearing Liu Quan.

Earlier, Zhu Zhu Yanhua had persuaded Liu Liu Qingqing to bring her grandfather here to see if his injuries could be healed.

After much coaxing and persistence,

they finally brought Hearing Liu Quan here.

"Yes, Grandpa Liu, walking around the village is good—this air is better for your health!"

Zhu Zhu Yanhua also said with a face full of sweet smiles.

"Hehe, I know my own body best, but I can't let down the kind intentions of you two girls!"

"Let's go, let's take a look at this village and see what's so good about it!"

Hearing Liu Quan was so old that he naturally wouldn't believe his granddaughter had merely called him here to travel around.
