After setting up a formation around, Yang Mu turned and faced the wolf he had placed on the ground. This wolf had managed to survive after Yang Mu had forced a pill into its mouth last time, regaining its life while inside the beast control bag.
When Yang Mu returned to his room and released the wolf, its breathing had stabilized. However, the wolf had been in a coma for some time. Yang Mu checked on it daily after releasing it from the beast control bag, but it always kept its eyes closed.
If it weren’t for the wolf’s steadily rising and falling belly, Yang Mu might have thought it was already gone.
Today, when he did his daily routine of taking the wolf out of the bag, he happened to meet the wolf’s somewhat hostile gaze.
Yang Mu examined the wolf closely.
In the sect competition, he had received a white wolf as a reward, but the color of its fur was different from the one before him. One was shiny and white, while the other was dull gray, with rough and dim fur.
The white wolf was a reward for the sect competition’s first place and was unlikely to have been used, so its spirit was naturally better. The wolf in front of Yang Mu had almost been used up.
However, Yang Mu felt that it was somewhat fortunate. At the moment it was on the verge of death, he happened to be nearby. Yushi An in a fit of anger and confusion, threw the wolf to Yang Mu, allowing him to handle it.
If he hadn’t been there at that moment, the wolf’s fate would have been far worse.
The wolf’s own vitality is rather tenacious. If it were another beastman, even if it takes a pill to save its life, I’m afraid it won’t last long within a few days.
– The beast control collar around the wolf’s neck had been removed by Yushi An by that time, but for the wolf in its current condition, it had no strength left to escape.
The beastman just stared at Yang Mu warily and emitted a faint growl as it was about to approach. It couldn’t forget how, after being captured by a human, it was initially presented to the person in front of it and how that person threw the beastman to the one who had been tormenting it.

Its vitality was greater than most beastmen, and while many others had their life force drained and perished, it remained sturdy until a few days ago when it truly began to feel that it couldn’t hold on any longer.

While filled with hatred, it couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation. Must the fate of the Beast Clan be so tragic?
– Yang Mu couldn’t help but feel that this wolf was quite old. Its dim eyes couldn’t hide the faint sense of world-weariness. Amidst its pitch-black fur, a few strands of white fur were mixed in, adding a sense of age.
It was like when humans develop white hair in old age. Though Yang Mu knew that this white fur was probably present from the wolf’s birth.
Faced with the wolf’s cautious gaze, Yang Mu couldn’t help but feel helpless. To this wolf, he was the one who handed it over to Yushi An, so why wouldn’t it be wary of him?
Yang Mu thought for a moment. Even though Wang Cai had turned into Shi Dixuan, his adorable pet had disappeared. However, if he could raise a wolf, that would be great. After all, he had seen in many web novels that many protagonists had their own domineering pets.
Being able to tame the wolf in front of him and help it regain its health, why not do it? Yang Mu thought optimistically and began to radiate his goodwill towards the wolf.
Although this beastman had already awakened its spiritual wisdom, he indirectly caused this wolf to live a life of shame. But Yang Mu believed that with sincerity, even a beastman would be able to sense his goodwill.
Wasn’t it said in his past life that wolves were also loyal creatures?
Most importantly, if one day Shi Dixuan comes with a group of beastmen to kill him, having a beastman to himself, which is the wolf, to vouch for him would be very helpful.
Yang Mu handed a pill to the wolf, and as expected, it turned its head away. Yang Mu didn’t mind and sat down to start his meditation and practice.
The pill he offered could help the wolf recover faster, and its nose was sensitive enough to detect its effects. If it wanted to recover quickly, it could take it. Yang Mu left the choice to the wolf and focused on his own meditation, knowing that the protective formation around him would keep him safe.
After hesitating for a while, the wolf glanced at Yang Mu, who had entered a meditative state beside it. It stared at the pill for a long time before finally opening its mouth and swallowing it.
Just as Yang Mu had expected, the wolf’s sense of smell was keen enough to discern whether the pill was beneficial or harmful to itself.
As it swallowed the pill, Yang Mu suddenly opened his eyes, and then quickly closed them again. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. The joy of raising a beastman wasn’t much different from taking care of animals in his past life. The only difference was that one had human intelligence, and the other didn’t.

Three days quickly passed. Shi Dixuan and Li Yue arranged to meet for a duel on the square’s battle platform.
As a newly disciple in foundation establishment stage in the sect and Yang Mu’s only disciple, their duel attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.
The more people that came, the happier Li Yue became. Teaching Shi Dixuan a lesson in front of so many people would only excite him further.
While Yang Mu received this news, he was still struggling with the wolf. After a few days of building a bond, although the wolf still had some reservations about him, at least it didn’t delay eating what he fed it.
Yang Mu silently lit a candle for Li Yue. He couldn’t understand why this young man always seemed to go further down the path of seeking death.
What deep-seated grudge did he have against Shi Dixuan? Did Shi Dixuan possess the same characteristics as the male protagonists in those novels, where no matter where they were, there was always someone who disliked them and wanted to target them?
The terms of the bet were set from the beginning, but the Sect Leader Yushi An didn’t appear this time. So, Shi Dixuan and Li Yue entrusted their beastmen to Yang Mu for safekeeping.
Shi Dixuan first brought out the white wolf. After receiving care from Shi Dixuan for some time, the white wolf appeared even more spirited than before, its fur shining under the sunlight.
With its head held high and following Shi Dixuan’s command, the white wolf reluctantly came to Yang Mu’s side and lay down about two feet away from him.
Everyone present marveled at the intelligence and vitality of the white wolf, but quietly, in their hearts, they were thinking that the wolf’s essence could likely significantly enhance their cultivation.
Seeing the white wolf, Yang Mu finally found some of the wolf clan’s spirit in it.
As Li Yue looked at Shi Dixuan’s white wolf with a hint of jealousy, he took out his much smaller and less imposing little yellow duck from the beast control bag and handed it to Yang Mu.
The little duck emerged from the bag, clearly overjoyed. Unlike the white wolf, this little duck was very affectionate toward humans.
When Shi Dixuan saw the little duck, he subtly squinted his eyes for a moment, seeming to realize that the duck was still in its early stages and couldn’t be matured and consumed immediately. He then relaxed.
He withdrew his gaze and stood quietly, waiting for the duel to begin.
Li Yue, on the other hand, stood opposite him, wearing a sinister and proud expression, as if he believed that he would be the victor today.
—
At first, when Yang Mu tried to hold the little duck in his hand, it resisted. It gazed longingly at Li Yue’s back, its tiny black eyes filled with a sense of grievance. It seemed to wonder why Li Yue had just taken it out of that white and fluffy place and then handed it to a stranger’s hand.
However, after staying in Yang Mu’s hand for a while, the little duck began to feel the warmth and security of being cradled in this person’s palm. It also frequently caught a whiff of a very pleasant scent!!
Unable to resist, it nuzzled against Yang Mu’s hand, and its tiny black eyes blinked twice. It seemed to think that staying by this person’s side wasn’t a bad idea after all.
Cute
