I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 30 Understanding Beast Language
"Nanran!"

Hua Shen was so angry that if his eyes could spit fire, Nan Ran would probably have been burned to ashes by now.

"I'm here, Elder Hua Shen."

Nan Ran had an honest and simple look on her face, smiling and seeming very easy to talk to.

"Just interrupt Qu Tao's hand, the one that almost killed me just now."

Nan Ran asked innocently, "Elder Hua Shen, isn't my request reasonable enough?"

"If you make any more excuses to refuse, I'll start to doubt your motives!"

Hua Shen was almost amused by her shameless behavior: "What motive do I have to suspect?"

"Tell me about it, I'd like to hear it too."

He had a stern face, as if to say, "I'd like to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

There's a folk saying that goes, "..."

Nan Ran chuckled, grinning with his clean white teeth: "Disharmony among children is often due to the lack of virtue in the elders!"

"Elder Hua Shen is an elder of the outer sect, and he is usually responsible for teaching us about beast taming. So it shouldn't be too much of an exaggeration to call you 'teacher,' right?"

"As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' If he is a father, then isn't he an elder? Qu Tao and I are both outer disciples, which is equivalent to children. So why should I be at odds with him..."

That's because you're immoral!

Although Nan Ran didn't say it explicitly, Hua Shen understood what she was cursing.

"If Elder Hua Shen insists on favoring Qu Tao, the instigator, and is willing to distort the truth and confuse right and wrong in order to protect and defend him, forcing me to swallow this insult, I might as well..."

Nan Ran spoke words of concession, yet every word was like a dagger, forcing Hua Shen to make a decision.

It's just a broken hand. After a month or two of rest, it should recover to about 70-80% of its original size. It's nothing serious.

Hua Shen made a decision almost immediately.

He looked at the red-haired woman beside him and asked softly, "Shi Song, what do you think?"

The red-haired woman, Shi Song, gave him a disdainful look: "Little girl, you were asking me, not me."

"Moreover, you are the acting peak master of Cloud Mist Peak. It is your duty as the acting peak master to punish and judge the disciples of Cloud Mist Peak when they make mistakes!"

Hua Shen stared at Shi Song with wide eyes, feeling a mix of pain, surprise, disbelief, and regret—"I kindly tipped you off, but you reported me on the spot for soliciting and accepting bribes."

Shi Song rolled her eyes even more this time.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have some kind of 'Peak Order' or 'Sect Rules' on my face?"

Hua Shen: ...

He said somewhat angrily, "Since that's the case! Then—"

Just as Hua Shen was about to agree to Nan Ran's conditions, Song suddenly interrupted with another comment.

"However, there is something I'd like to say..."

Hua Shen was abruptly interrupted, which made him even more annoyed.

He just asked her if she had any objections, and she said it was none of her business! She went on and on, and he got a good lecture from her!
Now that he's about to deliver his verdict, she has something to say again.

This woman did it on purpose!

They deliberately wanted him to lose face in front of the new disciples!

Hua Shen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Unfortunately, no one cared.

"I want to ask the little girl a question. After I ask, we can decide whether to break her hand or her leg. It's not too late."

Nan Ran still has a relatively good impression of Shi Song.

At first, Qu Tao twisted the truth and made false accusations against Shi Song, but Shi Song didn't believe him at all.

When he saw the Fiery Lion Roaring at her, he rushed to save her without even thinking.

It's clear that Shi Song is a very reasonable and principled person.

"May I ask how to address this... beautiful lady?"

Nan Ran switched to a sweet talker mode, showing a bit of intimacy towards people.

This attitude is completely different from when he treated Hua Shen, where two of his three sentences were scathing and the other was suffocating.

Such blatant double standards made Hua Shen, whose face was already dark with displeasure, look even more unpleasant. "I am Shi Song, one of the five elders of Cloud Mist Peak, mainly responsible for teaching the basics of beast taming."

The red-haired woman smiled and said, "You can just call me Elder Song."

"This disciple greets Elder Shi Song."

Nan Ran recalled the disciple etiquette of the Beast Taming Sect from the few memories of the original owner, and greeted people respectfully.

Hua Shen: ...

Treat them differently, right?

"I wonder what Elder Song wants to ask?" Nan Ran asked curiously.

"I want to know, how did you determine that the Frostbeast would die after eating the Moonfall Grass, which is why it disliked Qu Tao and instead protected you?"

Based on the previous reaction of the Frostbeast, Shi Song was almost certain that what Nan Ran said was true.

only……

Shi Song frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

She suspected that Nan Ran could understand the monsters' speech, and even communicate with them without any problems.

But this conjecture is simply too absurd!

After a beast tamer forms a contract with a monster, they can indeed communicate with each other.

However, that is limited to the fact that the contracted monster can understand the master's simple intentions and commands, such as attacking, protecting, or cultivating together.

Of course, if a beast tamer's cultivation level is high enough to become a legendary god-level beast tamer, they can also understand the meaning of the monsters.

Alternatively, if a demon beast cultivates to the Heavenly level or above and becomes a legendary being, it can speak human language and, by learning human language, communicate with beast tamers and people outside of beast tamers.

Then there are certain magical beasts that possess innate supernatural powers and can communicate with humans and spirits.

However, such monsters are usually very rare.

Even she had never seen it before.

At least, the Flame Lion and the Frostbeast are not included in this list.

Neither of them are even above the Heavenly level.

Nan Ran's cultivation level is even worse; he's not even a beginner-level beast tamer.

"what?"

Hua Shen was most surprised by Shi Song's words: "Eating Moonfall Grass will kill you?"

He frowned. "How is this possible?"

"Moonfall Grass is an excellent spiritual item used to assist demonic beasts in their advancement, which is one of the reasons why the sect places it in the sect contribution exchange area."

"If eating it would kill you, the sect would have discovered that long ago. How could it be..."

Hua Shen was only halfway through his sentence when Shi Song glared at him.

Shi Song interrupted him: "It is the Frostbeast that dies after eating the Moonfall Grass, not the demon beast."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that there might be other demonic beasts that would cause the same thing as the Frostbeast if eaten."

She then looked at Nanran: "That's why I asked the little girl how she determined that the Frostbeast would die after eating the Moonfall Grass."

Shi Song is more inclined to believe that the former sect leader left Nan Ran some kind of magical artifact.

Or perhaps it's because of a pure spiritual being.

But I have never heard of a pure spirit having the innate ability to communicate with demonic beasts.

Nan Ran didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, nor did she know the inner turmoil and confusion Shi Song felt.

She honestly confessed, "I heard it!"

"It was Frostbeast who said it."

"I came to Cloud Mist Peak to report for duty. As soon as I entered, I heard Frostbeast and Qu Tao arguing."

Nan Ran was still angry when she thought about this undeserved disaster.

“I heard the Frostbeast say that it couldn’t eat Moonfall Grass, but Qu Tao insisted that it eat it, so I kindly reminded it.”

Who would have thought that good intentions would be so easily misunderstood!
