"Otherwise?" Although the little fox wasn't big, with its agile movements, it immediately jumped onto Mu Tianyuan's head the moment he jumped up. Then, the little fox lay on his head and lowered its head to look at Mu Tianyuan, saying, "I told you, don't be so jumpy. If I weren't agile, you would have thrown me off, wouldn't you?"
Mu Tianyuan couldn't care about the little fox's complaints at this moment. He tried to look up at his head and said excitedly, "That piece of junk just lets me talk to animals?!"
Before, Mu Tianyuan thought that 'All Things Have Spirits' was some high-level, impressive skill. But now, in his eyes, it was just a piece of junk. I have to say, this change happened too quickly...
"Hmm..." The little fox pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's not entirely useless."
"Oh? What is it?" Mu Tianyuan, who was already disappointed with this useless skill, became excited again. He just knew it, how could something so magical be so simple? There was indeed something more!
Mu Tianyuan's transformation was too rapid...
"Hmm... For example, animals will be relatively friendly towards you, at least before you provoke them. If you insist on trying to kill them, they will still run away or fight back fiercely." The little fox explained while wagging its tail. Hearing this explanation, Mu Tianyuan, who had just felt this seemed like a decent skill a second ago, suddenly felt that this 'All Things Have Spirits' was actually a useless piece of junk. So, Mu Tianyuan retorted angrily, "What's the point of passing on such a useless thing to me?"
The little fox gave the answer immediately: "You can apply for a job as a beast tamer at the circus! At least with this inheritance, you don't need to worry about lions and tigers wanting to take a bite out of you, right? Think about how big of an advantage that is!"
"Heh heh, that's a great idea, the problem is I don't want to be a beast tamer..." Mu Tianyuan chuckled insincerely. Beast tamer? Although it was indeed quite suitable based on the inherited ability, he simply had no such intention!
Then Mu Tianyuan, still unwilling to give up, said, "By the way, is there nothing else besides these?"
Although the name of that Divine Beast Sect or Myriad Beast Sect sounded unappealing, it seemed to be some kind of cultivation sect after all. It couldn't be that after inheriting for so long, they only inherited this stuff to make it convenient for their disciples to become beast tamers, right? If that were the case, then was the purpose of this sect to dominate the circus?
"Of course there is, but it's not important." The little fox, whether it thought it could see far by being high up or not, was clinging to Mu Tianyuan's head and had no intention of coming down. Hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, the little fox wagged its tail and looked around while answering nonchalantly.
And Mu Tianyuan was originally just a little unwilling to give up, but he didn't expect there to be a real surprise. Although the little fox had already said it wasn't important, Mu Tianyuan still wanted to know, so he immediately urged, "Quickly tell me what else there is?"
"It's just that while you were receiving the inheritance, your body was also strengthened. It won't give you the ability to lift cauldrons, uproot willows, travel a thousand li in a day, or eight hundred li at night, but your body is much stronger than ordinary people." The little fox answered casually while wagging its tail.
"To be honest, I think this is much more important than the things you mentioned before..." Mu Tianyuan said with a serious face after thinking for a moment. Mu Tianyuan truly felt that compared to the previous things like gaining the favor of animals and working part-time as an animal translator, becoming stronger himself seemed more important!
Then Mu Tianyuan thought for a moment and said, "By the way, regarding those four adjectives you mentioned just now, the first two are fine, but I don't quite understand what 'traveling a thousand li in a day and eight hundred li at night' means? If my Chinese teacher back then didn't trick me, this should be referring to a fine horse, right?"
"Don't focus on details!" The little fox said, patting Mu Tianyuan's head in response to his nitpicking. Then the little fox added, "Anyway, you can't do it, so why are you bothered by it? You humans say 'acting like a dog,' but have you seen a dog complain?"
"You have a good point..." Mu Tianyuan suddenly understood and nodded. Isn't that right? He couldn't do it, so why should he be bothered by it?
Then Mu Tianyuan looked left and right, suddenly walked towards a big tree beside him with a serious expression, and stopped. The little fox looked at his behavior and asked, confused, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm testing how much I've been strengthened." Mu Tianyuan nodded seriously, then delivered a standard bow stance punch fiercely against the tree...
After a moment of silence, the little fox lowered its head and looked at Mu Tianyuan, who was still holding the posture motionless, and said very seriously, "Your posture is very standard."
"That's right. Don't look at me now, I'm just an ordinary office worker, but I was in the military when I was in college. I know military boxing inside and out!" Mu Tianyuan replied seriously while maintaining his posture. The little fox nodded after hearing him and said, "Then, former soldier brother, I have a question for you. Does your hand hurt?"
"...It hurts! It hurts like hell!" Originally, Mu Tianyuan, who had been expressionless, suddenly jumped up, rapidly shaking his hand while bouncing and yelling. Damn it, it really hurt! If the conditions weren't unfavorable, Mu Tianyuan would have planned to cry for three minutes to relieve the pain!
After bouncing around for a while, Mu Tianyuan rubbed his fist and complained, "Hey! Didn't you say it was strengthened? Where was it strengthened?"
"Didn't a few leaves fall off the tree just now?" The little fox hadn't fallen off Mu Tianyuan's head after all that jumping and bouncing. Now, hearing Mu Tianyuan's words, the little fox immediately retorted. Then the little fox rolled its eyes and complained angrily, "I say, are you really stupid? Even if you're going to challenge a tree, can't you find a smaller one first? There are so many trees around, but you just had to pick one with a diameter of over half a meter. When you choose things, do you always go for the biggest?"
This tree in the park is probably the thickest and largest. And yet, this guy just had to pick this one. Don't even think about hitting it with a fist. If you drove into it with a car, you'd probably have to call the insurance company.
"...I'm sorry, you have to understand that everything that happened today has been quite impactful for me. My brain is still a mess right now. It's unavoidable that my intelligence is lagging behind," Mu Tianyuan replied very seriously after a moment of silence after hearing the little fox's complaint. The little fox rolled its eyes at Mu Tianyuan's forehead and said, "Hmm, I understand, but I also want to ask, you're actually just a funny guy, aren't you?"
"I won't admit to that, but I won't deny that many people have said so," Mu Tianyuan replied as he walked back to the luggage he had left by the seat. Then Mu Tianyuan suddenly asked with some curiosity, "By the way, how did you know that?"
"How well do you think you've hidden the fact that you're a funny guy?" The little fox rolled its eyes and retorted angrily. Mu Tianyuan, however, shook his head, then reached up and took off the fox hat from his head, held it in front of him, and looked at the little fox, saying, "I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about that Alpaca Sect. How did you know about it?"
"It's not the Alpaca Sect, it's the Myriad Beast Sect!" The little fox first emphasized Mu Tianyuan's mistaken understanding, then wagged its tail and said, "That's because when you received the inheritance, I also received it, and I know more than you do."
"...Actually, the inheritance of that Alpaca Sect was for you, and I was just a bonus, right?" Mu Tianyuan said, looking at the little fox seriously after a moment of silence. From the way things looked, it seemed like he was just a bonus! Otherwise, how could the little fox know more than him?
"No, no, no, you are the real inheritor, and I am just assisting you," the little fox replied, looking at Mu Tianyuan seriously, which was rare. Then the little fox said, "Besides, don't you think the name Myriad Beast Sect is familiar?"
"I don't feel like it's familiar at all. Don't tell me it's my family's ancestral property," Mu Tianyuan shook his head decisively. But after he shook his head, Mu Tianyuan suddenly froze, then looked at the little fox in surprise and said, "Wait! You just reminded me. It seems that the broken game I played before, I joined some Myriad Beast Sect?!"
"That's right! And if I'm not mistaken, I should be the initial auxiliary spirit in the game!" The little fox replied, looking at Mu Tianyuan seriously. Then, regardless of Mu Tianyuan's dumbfounded expression, the little fox sighed, "Who would have thought that I'm just an auxiliary spirit in a game..."
"Don't be sad, being an auxiliary spirit is just being an auxiliary spirit..." Hearing the little fox's words, Mu Tianyuan felt that the little fox was probably even more emotionally broken than himself at the moment. Therefore, Mu Tianyuan's expression was still hard to believe, but he still comforted the little fox. Then he was about to ask about the situation, but the little fox started happily wagging its tail before Mu Tianyuan finished speaking: "I'm not sad! No matter what I was before, I am now a living fox! It seems I've made a profit no matter how you look at it!"
"Uh, you're really open-minded..." Hearing the little fox's words, Mu Tianyuan's mouth twitched and he finally replied with a wry smile. Mu Tianyuan felt that the most amazing thing about this fox wasn't that she could talk or that she had a storage space pocket, but this creature's mindset! If it were anyone else, who could be like her!
