Liu Guanfeng mobilized the Chaotic Qi within him, transforming it into Water Attribute Fighting Qi, which he then slowly infused into Zhang Yuru's body. Starting from her limbs and moving inward, each time Liu Guanfeng's Fighting Qi flowed through, a layer of Black Substance appeared on Zhang Yuru's skin, emitting a foul odor.
After about two hours, Liu Guanfeng finally withdrew all his Fighting Qi from Zhang Yuru's body. At that moment, Zhang Yuru opened her eyes. Upon smelling the odor emanating from herself, she didn't need Liu Guanfeng to tell her; she dashed outside and plunged into the sea to clean herself thoroughly. Exhausted, Liu Guanfeng had lost any desire to peek and slowly returned to his original state, taking time to adjust his breathing.
The next morning, Zhang Yuru woke up first. Although she hadn't slept much the previous night, she felt more energetic than ever before. As usual, she went out to wash up. When she saw her reflection in the water, she couldn't help but admire her appearance.
Her originally fair complexion had become even more delicate and fair. While she couldn't pinpoint exactly what made her look prettier, she knew for certain that she had indeed become more beautiful.
When Liu Guanfeng saw Zhang Yuru, he was once again stunned by her beauty. This was the second time Liu Guanfeng was taken aback by Zhang Yuru's looks. However, after seeing her current appearance, he could only think of a four-character idiom: "Beauty's Curse."
"Miss, I don't think I've seen your Mount before. I wonder what kind of magical beast it is?" Liu Guanfeng asked first.
"I don't have a Mount yet," Zhang Yuru replied, her earlier joy fading.
"How can that be? As the Big Leader, shouldn't you have caught one as an Advanced Knight? And aren't you going to Knight Academy?"
"We live in a place forgotten by the Supreme Deity called the Forgotten Continent. There is no Knight Academy here. All Mounts are captured with the help of elders, making it much harder to find a suitable one. My father has been busy with our 'New World' affairs since my mother passed away; he rarely pays attention to me anymore. Sometimes I don't see him for months. That's why my Mount situation has been unresolved."
Liu Guanfeng nodded; society was similar in many ways. Many fathers were busy outside and gradually neglected their families and children. But by the time they realized it, it was often too late. It seemed he should remind Zhang Diba to spend more time with his daughter when possible.
"How about I give you a Mount later?"
Upon hearing that Liu Guanfeng would gift her a Mount, Zhang Yuru immediately grabbed his arm and shook it excitedly: "Is that true? Am I really going to have a Mount?"
"Of course it's true! If you don't have a Mount and encounter those Little Guys, you might be at a disadvantage; they should all have Mounts by now."
Zhang Yuru nodded, "Chu Jiang Tian's mount is a Fourth Rank Water Buffalo, Hong Tao's mount is a Fourth Rank Sea Serpent, Pei Langhai's mount is a Fourth Rank Giant Claw Crab, and the best mount belongs to Room Leader's eldest son Fang Tianlong, whose mount is a Fifth Tier Raging Sea Crocodile. If I were to face them one-on-one, I would be confident in winning, but when it comes to mounts, my chances of victory are really not high. Can you really give me a mount?" Zhang Yuru's face was filled with longing.
"You will know by sunset at the latest."
In fact, as soon as Liu Guanfeng set foot on this small island, he began arranging this matter. He called Xuan Nian to his side: "Xuan Nian, do you have any siblings suitable for that young lady?"
After looking at Zhang Yuru, Xuan Nian replied, "Little Master Uncle, there should be a few among our siblings who are suitable, but I wonder what your relationship is with that young lady and Shishu?"
"I think she will become my wife in the future." This thought was the purpose behind everything Liu Guanfeng did. He felt something in his heart when he first saw her.
"In that case, Shishu, wait for my good news." After Xuan Nian finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yuru again and then turned to dive into the sea towards the cave where his siblings were gathered.
According to the agreement between Liu Guanfeng and Xuan Nian, today was the final deadline. If they did not return today, there would not be enough time to participate in the competition.
After hearing that Liu Guanfeng was preparing a mount for her, Zhang Yuru became distracted. She was thinking about what kind of magical beast her first mount would be. So Liu Guanfeng decided to let her rest for a day. Zhang Yuru sat by the sea, her mind filled with images of her future mount, recalling all the magical beasts she had seen in the sea.
As the sun gradually set, waves rolled over the surface of the sea. This small movement did not escape Zhang Yuru's notice as she watched the sea: "The surface of the sea is moving."
Liu Guanfeng shook his head and walked over to Zhang Yuru.
At that moment, two heads emerged from the water, almost identical in appearance. As they got closer, Zhang Yuru realized that they were two turtles, nearly identical except that the one on the left was slightly larger.
The two turtles approached Liu Guanfeng and said in unison, "Shishu, hello."
"Xuan Nian, you have worked hard. Please explain about your sister to us."
"Yes, Master, the one next to me is my sister. She is a Ninth Tier Peak Magical Beast, and her name is Xuanrou."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Xuanrou, thank you for your hard work."
"As for Master, being able to become Auntie's Mount is also my blessing."
Liu Guanfeng's face turned red, "Ahem." He coughed to cover his embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuru glared at Liu Guanfeng after hearing Xuanrou's words, "Liu Guanfeng, what did it just say? What does it mean by Auntie's Mount?"
"Miss, you heard wrong; it didn't say Auntie."
However, seeing that Liu Guanfeng was trying to find a Mount for her, Zhang Yuru didn't want to argue with him anymore. "Just wait; I'll settle this with you later."
Seeing that Zhang Yuru was no longer bothering him, Liu Guanfeng felt relieved. "Xuanrou, this is the master I found for you. I wonder if you would be willing to become her Mount?"
Xuanrou stretched out her long neck and rubbed against Zhang Yuru before saying, "Master, I am willing to become her Mount."
"Miss, are you willing to sign a contract with Xuanrou?"
"Of course I'm willing," Zhang Yuru quickly replied, fearing that this Ninth Tier magical beast might change its mind. After all, it was a Ninth Tier beast. Even her grandfather, a Divine-Level Expert, had spent over thirty years searching for a good magical beast; otherwise, he wouldn't have died far from home.
"Then how about this? You two can spend some time together first. If you both think it's suitable, we can sign the contract later. I'll go prepare some grilled fish for you."
"Thank you very much, Master." Xuanrou gently nodded at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng and Foregone Conclusion jumped into the sea one after another to go fishing. After more than an hour, a delicious grilled fish was served on the table, and the two of them along with four beasts began to enjoy the meal.
After dinner, everyone was in a very good mood. From their conversation, Liu Guanfeng could tell that Xuanrou still had a good impression of Zhang Yuru. In fact, a large part of this was due to Liu Guanfeng; without him as the Little Master Uncle, it would have been quite difficult for a Ninth Tier magical beast to become the mount of an Intermediate Knight.
Xuanrou and Zhang Yuru went to an open area, where a golden pattern appeared on Xuanrou's forehead. Zhang Yuru was not slow either; she bit her own index finger and drew a circle and a pentagram in the palm of her left hand, then raised her left hand high. Xuanrou and Zhang Yuru spoke in unison: "I swear by my blood that I am willing to sign an Equal Contract with Xuanrou (Zhang Yuru)."
The golden pattern on Xuanrou's forehead flew to Zhang Yuru's left palm, overlapping with the drawing she made. Then, this rune flew back to Xuanrou's forehead carrying Zhang Yuru's blood.
The entire process lasted less than five minutes. Xuanrou gained a new partner, and Zhang Yuru finally had her first mount—a Ninth Tier peak magical beast that would leave everyone astonished, just one step away from becoming a Divine Knight.
Once the contract process was completed, Zhang Yuru immediately ran over and hugged Xuanrou's neck: "Sister Xuanrou, how about you take me to play in the sea for a while?"
"Then get on; I'll take you into the sea."
Zhang Yuru jumped onto Xuanrou's back with all her strength, and Xuanrou began to head towards the sea.
Seeing this, Liu Guanfeng felt he needed to remind them: "It's already dark; remember not to stay out too late. Just play for a bit; we have to get up early tomorrow to go back."
"I know, you're so naggy," Zhang Yuru retorted.
Liu Guanfeng could only shake his head and walk back into the cave. After all, having Xuanrou, a Ninth Tier magical beast, in the sea made it relatively safe.
The pair—one person and one beast—played in the sea until late before slowly returning to the cave.
The next day, after breakfast and getting ready, Liu Guanfeng, Zhang Yuru, Little Black, xp, Xuanrou, and Xuan Nian set off back to the mainland. With only two days left until the scheduled competition day, they did not dare to delay. After all, Zhang Yuru needed to rest well to be in good spirits for the competition.
Xuanrou carried Zhang Yuru, while Xuan Nian carried Liu Guanfeng, Little Black, and xp. They headed towards the forgotten land of D6, arriving around eight o'clock that evening. Xuan Nian and Xuanrou brought them to a quieter beach on D6.
“Xuan Nian, thank you for your hard work. You should rest nearby; if anything comes up, I will call for you.”
“Mm, Shishu, please be careful as well.” Xuan Nian turned and disappeared into the sea.
“Miss, let’s go home.”
Zhang Yuru nodded, “Sister Xuan, we’re heading home.” After saying this, Zhang Yuru jumped onto Xuanrou's back, and Xuanrou moved forward under Zhang Yuru's direction.
Liu Guanfeng climbed onto xp's back and moved alongside Zhang Yuru: “Xuanrou, remember not to reveal your strength to outsiders for now. You can show it during the Competition, but don’t be too ostentatious. Also, be merciful to the magical beasts you fight; they will be Zhang Yuru's subordinates in the future, and scaring them would not be good.”
“I understand, Shishu.”
The next day, after a night of rest, Zhang Yuru energetically brought Xuanrou to Zhang Diba's room. Upon entering, she happily said to Zhang Diba: “Father, look! I have a Mount now.” After saying this, Zhang Yuru stepped aside, allowing Xuanrou to walk forward slowly.
Lying in bed, upon seeing Xuanrou, Zhang Diba was all smiles: “My precious daughter, it was my fault before for not taking better care of you. Until today, you could only have a Mount. This is my failing as a father. I hope you two can get along well and never part ways.”
“Father, don’t worry. I will take good care of it. Now that I have a Mount, when the competition comes tomorrow, I will definitely surprise everyone.”
“As long as you have confidence.”
“Father, please rest well. I will take my leave now.” After saying this, Zhang Yuru took Xuanrou back. She wanted to stay by her father's side to care for him, but she knew that achieving first place in tomorrow's competition was the best way to repay him and prevent her grandfather's created guild from falling into the hands of thieves.
