From stable boy to peerless immortal

"What do you think, Miss Ling'er?" Shen Yuan asked with a sweet smile.

The maid Ling'er looked the Fire Roman clone up and down and saw that although the horse was not a spirit breed, it had been raised by Shen Yuan to be strong and healthy, with a robust physique, smooth and shiny fur, and a bright red color like fire. It looked proud and handsome, and she looked at Shen Yuan with new respect!

It is indeed quite rare to be able to feed a horse to such a robust and obedient state in just a few months, which is enough to show that Shen Yuan has some real skills.

"Good, you, and the rest of you, come with me."

Immediately, Ling'er ignored Steward Huang and led the others away gracefully.

"That damned little beast..."

Manager Huang, who remained where he was, gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Besides being the eldest daughter of the family, Hua Qinglian is also a true disciple of the Divine Water Palace, a sacred place of immortal cultivation. She is also a great immortal cultivator who has achieved the Golden Core stage, holding a transcendent status. Even the masters and ladies of the first and third branches of the family have to treat her with utmost respect.

For this reason, although Ling'er was only his personal maid, her status rose accordingly, and he naturally dared not offend her.

......

The maid Ling'er walked ahead, her back view beautiful, her waist slender and supple, her buttocks pert and full, her swaying was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Yuan, watching from behind, watched without making a sound, but unexpectedly, Ling'er slowed down and almost bumped into him. Ling'er glanced at him with a half-smile and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Yuan feigned ignorance: "I'm wondering what's wrong with Seventh Young Master's stables. Why does he insist on hiring us, the young servants who haven't been here long?"

Ling'er snorted lightly, not bothering to argue with him because he was good-looking, and got down to business: "You're quite clever, there really are some problems with Seventh Young Master's stables..."

She didn't hide anything and recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.

It turns out that the seventh young master, Hua Mingfei, is the younger brother of the eldest young lady, Hua Qinglian. Although he is playful and unruly, he is quite talented in riding and hunting. He keeps many horses in the stable and often leads a group of people to go out hunting on horseback.

However, just a few days ago, some of the horses in the stables started having problems. They were eating and sleeping poorly, and their tempers became irritable. They injured several grooms, and even the seventh young master, Hua Mingfei, was almost injured when he rode out on horseback.

Afterwards, a veterinarian was called in to examine the horses, but the cause could not be found, and all the horses had to be disposed of.

But with the autumn hunting ceremony just around the corner, Hua Mingfei, as a member of the second son's family, needs to make a good impression. This matter cannot be delayed, so he found several good horses and kept them in the stable.

They sought out Shen Yuan and the others to help Seventh Young Master take care of these horses, and also because the group was new to the area and had "clean" identities!

Shen Yuan had a vague feeling that this matter was probably not simple, and there might be other hidden stories.

However, since things had come to this point, he could not back down and could only take it one step at a time.

So he changed the subject and started chatting with his maid, Ling'er.

Shen Yuan, having lived two lives, possessed keen insight and rich experience in flirting. He could see that although the young girl Ling'er was somewhat scheming, she was generous, innocent, and not the type to turn her back on someone. Therefore, he intended to befriend her.

With his deliberate attempt to get closer to her, it wasn't long before he made the girl giggle and her beautiful eyes sparkle.

Even the title "Girl Bell" has changed to the more affectionate "Sister Bell".

This scene made the other horse grooms behind him feel sour and jealous, and they cursed inwardly.

"That damn pretty boy..."

"So what if she's good-looking and speaks nicely? What's so special about that!"

......

Before long, the group arrived at another stable.

This is the private stable of some young masters and ladies of the inner palace, where many tall and magnificent horses are kept, including some spirit horses!

Shen Yuan saw a strange horse, thin as skin and bones, yet with a broad frame. Its body was covered with iron-blue scales, and bone spurs and fascia grew on its neck, standing upright like knives. It looked like a horse, but more like a vicious and menacing dragon!

This is a dragon-horse. It is said that dragons are inherently lustful, and dragons will often mate with any race. This horse is the offspring of a malevolent dragon and a female horse.

"What a fierce horse..."

Shen Yuan got goosebumps all over and subconsciously walked around the horse pen.

In another stable, stood a tall horse, sixteen feet long, with jet-black fur, bulging muscles, and snow-white hooves.

Especially noteworthy are the two small protrusions on its head, resembling fleshy horns!

When this horse opens and closes its mouth, it reveals a mouthful of sharp, pointed teeth, like triangular files, which is terrifying. Its entire body exudes a strong sense of oppression!

Shen Yuan felt a chill run down his spine as he recognized the "Snow-Treading Spirit Steed" that Old Man Niu had mentioned. It did not eat grass and fodder, but instead preferred to gnaw on flesh and blood like a tiger or leopard. It was naturally unruly and had a bad temper, but it had extremely strong endurance and could run like lightning. It was a precious breed from Tianzhu Mountain in the Western Regions!

"This is Black Snow, the Seventh Young Master's beloved horse."

Noticing Shen Yuan's gaze, Ling'er shook her head slightly: "However, in the past few days, this horse has also been a bit temperamental, and has already kicked and injured two grooms."

"As for that dragon horse, although it has extraordinary bloodline, it is also more ferocious and violent. It once bit off a person's arm, and even the Seventh Young Master had difficulty subduing it. You'd better not get close to it if you don't have to."

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The so-called spirit horse, also known as the demon horse, is a horse that has awakened its bloodline power; to put it bluntly, it is a demon.

Both the Snow-Treading Spirit Steed and the Flood Dragon Horse are the same.

It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to subdue this spirit horse, unless they are a cultivator.

Upon arriving at the nearby stable, one finds several tall, magnificent horses, each exceptional in its own way. Some are spirited and agile, while others are proud and upright. Though not exceptionally talented, they are nonetheless rare and renowned horses!

Ling'er pointed to the horses inside and said, "From today onwards, you few will be responsible for taking care of these horses. If you take good care of them, you will be richly rewarded."

"If anything happens, Shen Yuan, take this jade pendant and go to Qingchi Garden to find me."

He handed a jade pendant to Shen Yuan, designated Shen Yuan as the leader of the group, gave a few more instructions, and then turned to leave.

"Sister, please wait!"

However, Shen Yuan called out to Yinling'er.

His gaze swept over the horses, he touched their necks, looked at their tails, and then surveyed the surrounding stables, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan's expression was strange, Ling'er was puzzled.

Shen Yuan took a few steps closer and whispered, "To be honest, sister, I suspect there's something wrong with this stable!"

The two got closer. Shen Yuan's body had been transformed after being repeatedly cleansed by his essence and blood. His scent was fresh and pleasant, making Ling'er's ears turn slightly red. However, what Shen Yuan said shocked her.

"You may all step back."

Ling'er waved for the others to leave, then looked at Shen Yuan, her pretty face full of seriousness: "How did you know there was a problem with the stables?"
