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

Chapter 35 The Obedient and Honest Black Merchant Nan Ran

After the elders from the other peaks had all left, only three people and two beasts remained on the empty Cloud Mist Peak.

Hua Shen, with a serious expression, cast a soundproof barrier, enveloping Nan Ran and Shi Song within it.

"From now on, you must never mention to anyone that you can understand animal language, do you understand?"

After Hua Shen finished speaking, he remembered that Nan Ran was a born pure spirit body, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Shi Song. He hesitated and said, "How about we arrange for someone else to keep an eye on her? It would be a form of close protection..."

It also allows me to keep an eye on Nan Ran.

He couldn't help but have some doubts about what Nan Ran said.

The Thousand-Tailed Poisonous Feather of the Burning Sky was a demonic beast that had been bound to him for hundreds of years!
They've supported each other all the way to this day, so why would it say that about him?
And yet, no one knows what they talked about with Nan Ran.

Hua Shen dared not ask, much less ask in front of outsiders.

Otherwise, who knows what shocking things Nan Ran, with his idiot brain, would say next!
Nan Ran was unaware of Hua Shen's inner turmoil.

She nodded obediently, knowing that her ability to understand animal language was probably quite a rare thing here.

Unlike many cultivation novels I read in my previous life, where demonic beasts and spirit pets could speak human language and communicate freely with their masters once a contract was established, this was not the case.

There is a significant language barrier between the demonic beasts here and human cultivators.

Even between beasts, communication is difficult due to their different species.

Even if the contract is successful, the effective communication between the pet and the contract owner is very limited.

It's a bit like... you kidnapped a cat and took it home, and you keep talking to it, saying things like "Mommy loves you," but the cat doesn't understand and just thinks you're crazy.

The way beast tamers in the Beast Continent tame beasts is similar to kidnapping cats.

Monsters are similar to cats; they can only understand a very limited amount of human language.

For example, if you say "Come eat" or "Here's some freeze-dried food for you," the cat will understand.

But if you say "Get down here," "If you touch me, I'll throw you away," or "Come back," the cat will basically not understand.

The monsters in the Beast Continent are pretty much the same.

Of course, this is only the information Nan Ran has found through the outer sect's library so far. Whether it is true or not, or whether there are other ways or means, still requires some time to find out.

I've heard that the inner sect's library contains more fundamental information and books about this continent.

"I understand, Elder Huashen."

Nan Ran nodded obediently, looking like an honest child.

In any world, there will always be those who are tempted by their possession of a valuable treasure.

She didn't want to be arrested and studied.

Before you have enough overwhelming strength, keeping a low profile and lying low is the best form of protection.

As for sending someone to follow her...

Hua Shen and Shi Song were discussing who should be assigned to protect Nan Ran.

Nan Ran timidly raised her hand: "Well, the fact that I can understand animal language is something that, apart from the elders present today who might have some doubts, there are some other people who should also know about it."

She did not deliberately hide anything when she participated in the assessment.

The main problem is that she didn't understand it at the time!
I inexplicably transmigrated here, inexplicably was dragged to take an exam, and inexplicably found myself burdened with the crucial vote on whether the entire group would pass the assessment...

"You mean, the people in your group who were being assessed?"

Hua Shen seemed to realize something, and his expression immediately became even more serious.

Nan Ran nodded: "Although I didn't say it explicitly, I didn't deliberately hide it either. People should have guessed it, right?"

She felt that a smart person would easily come up with that idea.

But for idiots like Gu Zhi... "It's possible they'll think I got the information through connections because the sect favored me, and they won't think that much about it."

Hua Shen immediately thought of the scene at the assessment center, where Nan Ran's team was questioned by the elders about the illogicality of the Nine-Colored Pot Snake's corpse. Gu Zhi, who was in the same team as Nan Ran, stepped forward to expose Nan Ran's cheating and demanded that her score be invalidated. "I know about this matter."

He said seriously, "I will handle it."

"Elder Hua Shen, what do you intend to do?" Nan Ran asked urgently. "I think it's better to guide than to suppress. Since they know, and you happen to want to place someone by my side, why not just let them..."

"no!"

Before she could finish speaking, Hua Shen had already rejected her suggestion.

"Those who can stay by your side and protect you must not only be strong, but also loyal to the Beast Taming Sect."

The people in Nan Ran's assessment team were only nominal disciples of the outer sect, and they might not have a deep sense of identification with the Beast Taming Sect.

Such a big secret cannot be easily revealed to outer disciples.

Shi Song seemed to see Nan Ran's worries: "Don't worry, the Beast Taming Sect's assessment is aimed at selecting talented disciples for training and promotion. They are disciples who have genuinely passed the assessment. The Beast Taming Sect will never show favoritism or deliberately make things difficult for them."

But an investigation is still necessary.

If necessary, we might even have to send someone to keep an eye on them.

Nan Ran pursed her lips, not wanting to implicate Hui Yao and the others because of this matter.

Especially Huiyao... She finally passed the test, and although it was clearly due to her own strength, she insisted that Huiyao had helped her a lot and even made some kind of protective contract with her.

Thinking of this, Nan Ran's eyes lit up, and she pretended to be troubled as she asked, "But... they signed a guardian contract with me, the kind that is recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, is that not allowed either?"

"what?!"

Hua Shen and Shi Song were both surprised.

The contract of protection is recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, which means that the party who chooses to protect is willing to give their life for the party being protected.

Sincerity moves heaven and earth.

"Moreover, I think I get along quite well with Huiyao and the others."

None of them discriminated against the original owner for being born mentally challenged.

Of course, other people are outside the scope of harmony.

"If I absolutely have to choose someone, I think they are the ones."

But having someone by your side isn't just about keeping you company; they also need to be able to control you when necessary...

Hua Shen remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the two beasts, one large and one small, in the sky above.

There are indeed not many disciples who can defeat these two.

The time has truly come to take action against Nan Ran...

Nan Ran's cultivation level was nothing to fear; the main concern was her beast pet.

He ruffled his hair in frustration: "Let me report this to the sect leader before we make a decision!"

There are definitely no suitable disciples to be assigned to in the outer sect.

Hua Shen suddenly felt a darkness above his head. When he looked up, he saw that the two people, one big and one small, were fighting again.

"Call those two down first! Put them back to normal!"

Two huge lumps flying around his head, are they trying to scare someone to death?
Don't smash up his Cloud Mist Peak again!!
It's all ruins now!
If he smashes it again, his Cloud Mist Peak will go from being the highest peak of the outer sect to the lowest peak.

"Oh~"

Nan Ran touched his nose without making any move, but simply reached out his hand to the person, touching his thumb and forefinger together and rubbing them together.

Hua Shen: ???
What do you mean? !
