After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Xiao Hei walked across the camp towards Nangong Xun's tent.

There were soldiers on the road talking about it.

"General, why don't you change it?"

"Perhaps it's pity that no one wants to blame it."

"But cats are the least affectionate people. The cat in my hometown likes to bite and scratch me for many years, and sometimes even ambush me."

"Hey, I don't like him being so fierce. The key is that he is so fierce inside, and no one can beat him outside."

"Yes. In actual combat, it just finds a safe place to stay by itself. It has no effect at all. It still has a blank face every day. It is extremely arrogant. It cannot be amused in the military camp."

Xiao Hei turned a deaf ear to these words and walked slowly into the tent.

Nangong Xun is studying the art of war.

Xiao Hei walked over and nestled next to him, and soon there was a steady sound of breathing. Accompanied by the sound of candles and lanterns crackling and popping from time to time, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere flowed in the tent that was dimly illuminated by candlelight.

Nangong Xun pinched the top of the bridge of his nose with two fingers and rubbed it before feeling that his dry eyes were relieved.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Hei, who was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but slow down his movements.

It's been like this all these years.

From when he was still living in Tongpu until he became a general and had his own camp, Xiao Hei stayed by his side silently, not speaking often, but as long as he asked for advice humbly, he would always give him guidance.

It was true that he had secretly investigated things about demons, but because there were very few records of such things in the mortal world at that time, his understanding was always incomplete.

It's just that he flipped through countless bamboo slips and saw sporadic records about "demon", which always harmed the world and killed humans.

This is completely different from Xiao Hei.

After getting along for a long time, he will also observe and pay attention to Xiao Hei.

I found that Xiao Hei seemed indifferent on the surface, but actually he still had a soft side inside.

For example, it never bullies the weak based on its own strength, nor does it laugh at others. For example, it always talks less and does more. For example, it said it would save itself three times, and since then it has been by its side until Completion of contract...

For example, the animal trainer.

Nangong Xun has never understood. There were countless animal trainers in Shuiyue Kingdom who wanted to come here at that time. Some were young and strong, some had outstanding talents, and some were beautiful... Why would Xiao Hei choose an older and more beautiful person? A trainer who's always timid?

After several chats with Fan Shan, Nangong Xun guessed the answer.

Fan Shan is very honest and tells the truth to Nangong Xun. He has been traveling around the world with his master since he was a child. The master is also an animal trainer, but he is a dabbler and he is not very good at it.

But he loves animals very much and often adopts stray animals. No matter how poor he is, he will do his best to save some animals.

Fan Shan has not yet married. It was not that there was no suitable candidate, but the girl asked Fan Shan to throw away all the animals.

Fan Shan really couldn't bear to throw away some disabled animals. The girl disliked Fan Shan for spending money on animals and disliked him for not being able to save money. She felt that she would not have a good life with him, so she broke up.

Fan Shan spent half his life like this, saving money year after year and adopting various stray animals year after year.

Until one day, a black cat appeared in the kennel where the dog he adopted lived.

Fan Shan thought it was a wild cat that had escaped somewhere. He was afraid that the dogs would attack it, so he took it out, gave it a new job, and kept it like that.

Since then, some very large beasts, some even ferocious beasts that Fan Shan had never seen before, would appear inexplicably in his yard and obey his words.

Later, I heard that the army was recruiting animal trainers to provide food and shelter. At that time, he was at the end of his rope and did not have enough food to feed so many ferocious beasts, so he came here.

The reason why he was so embarrassed when he first arrived was because he didn't know if he had the ability to make these ferocious beasts listen to the soldiers.

Everything went smoothly.

"I have been dealing with animals and wild beasts all my life. I have less contact with people. I always dare not look people in the eyes when talking to them. General, please don't mind. I don't disrespect you."

Fan Shandao said, "Those people back then, including my dead master, said I was stupid for not even wanting girls for these beasts. I don't know what the right thing to do is, but I know to abandon those who have been adopted by me." "Children," must be wrong. Hey, don't be afraid of the general's jokes. Many years ago, I began to comfort myself. I just like these animals. I am happier with them than with people. We ordinary people, how much life do we have? I can't accomplish anything in my whole life? Do I have to do anything? I have no father or mother, so I just raise them until I grow old, isn't it good?"

Nangong Xun looked at Fan Shan's honest and honest face and smiled.

"Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Nangong Xun suddenly realized that this was the case.

Xiao Hei was not actually rescued by Fan Shan, it was Fan Shan who was rescued. There is nothing special about Fan Shan, just because he is good to animals, just because of such a simple quality.

Xiao Hei chose to help.

And it does have the ability to help.

Isn't this exactly what Ah Ling said at that time? After having this ability, I will choose to save more people.

"Why are you dazed? Not sleeping."

Xiao Hei's voice interrupted the memory.

"You're awake." Nangong Xun said, "I'm thinking about something."

Nangong Xun often thinks about some strange things.

"What's the matter?" asked the little black man.

Nangong Xun's eyes rolled.

"I can't remember that I saved you. To be honest, you're not here to take revenge on me, right? In fact, I didn't save you, but I accidentally offended you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei just turned around and continued to laze around with his back to Nangong Xun, looking like he was too lazy to pay attention to you.

Nangong Xun touched his nose angrily, and pulled Xiao Hei's soft body over with his big hands, causing Xiao Hei to roll his eyes.

In fact, Xiao Hei looks cold, but he has a good temper and usually won't get angry as long as it's not too much.

At least in the past five years, Nangong Xun has rarely seen it get angry.

Except when he's in sparring, he's quite fierce.

"Xiao Hei, what does a trainer rely on to tame animals?" Nangong Xun asked indirectly, "Like Fan Shan, doesn't it just rely on him being good to them?"

"Of course there are other ways." Xiao Hei said, "But all methods are still based on the most important point."

"Which point?" Nangong Xun asked curiously.

"Loyalty." The little black man said, "A tamed beast must be loyal to its master without any second thoughts. So let you partner with the ferocious beasts. As long as they are loyal enough, they will not betray."

"Isn't that different from humans?" Nangong Xun asked.

"It's not the same." Xiao Hei said, "People have intelligence and it is difficult to be completely tamed. Even if they are tamed in a short period of time, there will be resistance and it will not last long."

"Loyalty doesn't mean being tamed, right?"

"It does not mean that." Xiao Hei said, "Whether a person is loyal depends on what kind of person he is and what kind of person he is loyal to."

"What about you?" Nangong Xun asked, "Are you a loyal... demon?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei rarely smiled, and Nangong Xun was startled under the candlelight.

Tsk.

After staying in the military camp for a long time, every cat looks pretty.

But he immediately realized that it was a sneer.

"What do you think?" Xiao Hei sneered.

Nangong Xun responded with a dry smile.

Also, Xiao Hei shouldn't surrender to anyone, right?

but……

"If you are really just an ordinary ferocious beast, or an ordinary person, you must be loyal and kind."

Xiao Hei still sneered.

Nangong Xun ignored its sneer and said to himself: "Do you know why I have been fighting so desperately on the battlefield these years?"

Xiao Hei didn't respond, so Nangong Xun asked and answered his own questions.

"Because I know that no matter how serious my injury is, you will protect me. The reason why I can fight so confidently is because of your promise, because I believe that you will fulfill your promise - just like Jueqi."
