Chapter 230: Storm and Rain
Chapter 230: Storm and Rain
After a friendly chat with Elder Liao, Li Qian decided to stay at the Red Bridge Estate, just as he had said.
Elder Liao was filled with resentment, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He was merely the butler of the Red Bridge Estate, an employee, and had no authority or ability to control Li Qian.
Especially since Sun Ruirui, the owner of the estate, had readily agreed.
Ignoring Elder Liao's expression, Li Qian was in high spirits. He comfortably browsed through documents in the estate, observed companion beasts, and chatted with Sun Ruirui, a sound like a young boy's, as she watched Li Qian's every move.
Soon, evening arrived.
As night fell, Li Qian promptly made his way to the small bay in the northeast corner.
Upon reaching the bay, the Tidal Sea Spirit Ah Hai emerged from the water.
"You're here," Ah Hai said, his voice sounding youthful as he looked at Li Qian.
"Hmm," Li Qian nodded, then scanned the area.
Ah Hai knew what he was looking for and hummed softly.
As the hum faded, two splashes sounded in quick succession, and right before Li Qian's scrutinizing gaze, two Golden Pearl Buds surfaced.
Ah Hai glanced at the two Golden Pearl Buds that appeared simultaneously, then focused his attention on Li Qian, "I'm entrusting these two kids to you!"
"I hope you..."
Before he could finish, Li Qian interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Rest assured, I'm just communicating with them, and I won't do anything to them. Besides, my abilities won't allow it."
After saying this, he didn't waste any time. He took out two Beastballs and threw them out.
A flash of red light, and the two Golden Pearl Buds were captured within the Beastballs.
Once he was done, he waved his hand again, "I'm leaving. Wait for my message."
Watching Li Qian's departing figure, Ah Hai muttered to himself, "Sigh, I hope trusting you isn't a mistake..."
"I hope you won't betray my trust."
As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced in a certain direction, "After all these years, Ruirui has endured too much. It's time for her to be free."
...
The next morning, after taking in Ah Hai's two subordinates, Li Qian left the Red Bridge Estate and returned to the Sky Realm Cultivation Base.
Although Shi Guifang's Cultivation Base was named after the Sky Realm, not all the companion beasts inside were flying types. There were other types as well.
In fact, to increase the diversity of companion beasts in the Cultivation Base, Shi Guifang had recently dug a pond inside to raise water-type companion beasts.
However, before the water-type companion beasts could be bred, the pond became a temporary home for 'Golden Wind' and 'Golden Rain'.
After returning to the Sky Realm Cultivation Base, Li Qian released the two companion beasts and left them there. He then squatted by the pond and began communicating with them.
The manager of the Cultivation Base, a woman in her thirties who oversaw all the miscellaneous tasks, witnessed this and asked curiously, "What's going on with him?"
"Why is he suddenly interested in water-type companion beasts?"
Shi Guifang was also watching this scene, and she guessed, "Maybe it's his new research."
The two women whispered from a distance, while nearby, by the pond, Li Qian was communicating with Golden Wind and Golden Rain.
"Zhu Zhu... Zhu Zhu..."
"Ang Ang..."
Li Qian was baffled by the sounds Golden Wind and Golden Rain were making, so he had no choice but to resort to his old method.
He summoned Seven, hoping it could serve as a translator.
Unfortunately, perhaps due to the vast racial differences, Seven also struggled to understand them this time.
Just as Li Qian was feeling a bit troubled, Shi Guifang's voice suddenly rang out behind him, "Are you trying to communicate with this Golden Pearl Bud? Perhaps I can help."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and a headset appeared in her palm.
"What's this?" Li Qian asked, unsure of what it was.
Shi Guifang handed the headset to Li Qian and immediately provided an explanation, "It's the latest Beast Translator. Try it on."
Without hesitation, Li Qian put on the Beast Translator, which looked exactly like a regular headset.
After putting it on, the sound of "Pearl, Pearl..." came through again, but this time it was translated by the Beast Translator into a human language that Li Qian could understand.
"This thing is great," Li Qian said with a pleased expression on her face, as she understood the meaning of the two Golden Pearl Buds' sounds.
Seeing Li Qian's delight, Shi Guifang didn't hesitate and immediately offered it as a gift, "Then I'll give it to you, Master Li."
"I'm so embarrassed," Li Qian chuckled, saying words of apology, but he didn't refuse at all.
Shi Guifang smiled faintly, and after a brief exchange, she left the pond, taking the base manager with her, who had been observing from a distance, "Then I won't disturb you, Master Li, as you conduct your research."
After all, he was engaged in Beastmaster research, and it would be embarrassing if he was mistaken for trying to steal secrets.
Once Li Qian saw that Shi Guifang and the base manager had left, he turned to the two Golden Pearl Buds and asked, "Do you want to evolve into a Tide Sea Spirit like Ah Hai?"
Tidal Wind spoke through the translator, and Li Qian understood its meaning, "It's useless. Ah Hai's Beastmaster has tried many times, and each time it failed, and each failure resulted in harm to its kind."
"Just because Ah Hai's Beastmaster couldn't do it, doesn't mean I can't," Li Qian said with a chuckle. He immediately released Xiao Hui and used it as an example, "See it? Not long ago, it was just an ordinary Gray Bean Pigeon, but now it has become an Imperial Potential Skygliding Eagle."
As he spoke, he gave a command, "By the way, you may not know what a Gray Bean Pigeon is. Xiao Hui, go catch one and show them."
Xiao Hui received the command and acted without hesitation, moving as fast as lightning. Soon, it returned with a frightened Gray Bean Pigeon in its claws.
Li Qian said indifferently, "See the difference? It's like comparing clouds and mud."
"If you choose to believe in me, within three days, I'll evolve one of you into a Tide Sea Spirit. Of course, you know the cost; the other Golden Pearl Bud will lose its golden pearl."
"But I can promise that in the future, when the Golden Pearl Bud that loses its pearl regrows it, I'll help it evolve into a Tide Sea Spirit."
After stating his conditions, Li Qian no longer paid attention to them and also left the pond, "Now, you can start discussing. Who wants to evolve into a Tide Sea Spirit, and who wants to sacrifice their golden pearl..."
Letting the two of them discuss it themselves, no matter the outcome, their acceptance would surely increase. Later, when it came to persuading the one who offered their pearl, he could achieve "Willing Heart."
Additionally, Li Qian had a big move in mind for this matter, and he was waiting to unleash it and test its power!
