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

Chapter 9 Negotiation Failed
Shi Qing shook her head.

"I'm fine, I just used too much spiritual energy."

Nan Ran responded with two "oh" sounds.

Thanks to the many cultivation novels she read back then, she can probably understand it.

Judging from Shi Qing's condition, her spiritual energy has probably been completely depleted. Without using any spirit-restoring pills or energy-boosting pills to restore her blue health bar, she is likely unable to use her skills or unleash her ultimate attack.

Nan Ran nodded as he analyzed.

But—what to do about this big cat's request?
"Does anyone here still know that 'whoosh whoosh' skill?"

Nan Ran gestured towards Ye Zhi and the others.

The group looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Among them, only Shi Qing is ice-type and has already mastered basic ice-type spiritual skills.

Nan Ran helped Shi Qing to Ye Zhi and the others, and after they took her in and cared for her, she returned to the Fiery Lion.

"Be careful..." they all shouted nervously.

As a result, they soon witnessed a scene that left them speechless.

"Um, this doesn't seem to work?"

Nan Ran thought for a moment before choosing his words: "My companion's current physical condition may not be suitable for helping you with this kind of thing."

Roar!
All that was heard was a roar from the Fiery Lion, as if it had suddenly erupted in fury.

The lion's roar instantly unleashed a wave of heat, rushing towards them all and forcing them to retreat dozens of steps.

"Nanran..." Ye Zhi and the others couldn't help but worry even more about Nanran, who was still standing in front of the Flaming Lion.

Nan Ran, who was being worried about by everyone, understood what the big cat was saying and twitched her lips speechlessly.

I don't care.
[If you don't tickle me, I won't let you pass the test]
[Hmph, this is the fastest route to your final assessment.]
If you can't get through here, you'll be eliminated.
Nan Ran: ...Are all felines this arrogant?

Why does this tone sound more like a big cat's?
"So, you really were placed here by the elders of the Beast Taming Sect?"

"You can still release water?" "You're not kidding me, are you?"

The Fiery Lion roared twice more.

That's natural.
Why would I lie to you!
[I still have that scoundrel Hua Shen's keepsake!]
As the Fiery Lion spoke, it casually reached out with its paw and a wooden plaque bearing the emblem of the Beast Taming Sect fell from its neck.

It hit Nan Ran squarely on the forehead.

It's hard not to suspect that this guy deliberately smashed her!

Nan Ran glared at the big cat, then flipped over the wooden plaque. Besides the sect mark of the Beast Taming Sect, there was also a line of small characters that read: Promotion Assessment - Grade A.

Without hesitation, she immediately put the wooden sign into her pocket.

"But my companion really can't help you. How about we change the terms and talk again?"

Remembering what he had overheard, Nan Ran immediately launched into a menu-reciting mode, intending to lure him with delicious food: "...As long as you let us through, I'll cook for you as soon as I return to the sect after the assessment, how about it?"

Roar!
Hoho! !
The Flaming Lion was clearly even angrier.

His roar was filled with barely concealed rage.

Nan Ran was startled by his sudden outburst of anger and took several steps back.

Suddenly, she grabbed a ball of flame. The strange sensation made her turn her head to look, only to find that the surrounding grass had been set ablaze by the large cat that was now emitting fire.

"No, if you disagree, you disagree. Why get so angry?"

"If you haven't learned how to set fire to a mountain, you'll be locked up for life!"

Nan Ran shook her hand, feeling even more puzzled... How come this fire doesn't burn your hand?

Roar!
The fiery lion became even angrier.

He strode menacingly toward Nan Ran, his feet treading on flames.
