The cage seemed to sense Chu Chen's gaze, it slowly opened its serpent eyes and looked toward him.
It wagged its tail, its snake tongue flicking in and out, making a series of cheerful hissing sounds, clearly in a very good mood.
Seeing this, Chu Chen raised a finger, rubbed its head, and said with a smile, "Little glutton."
The cage nodded cluelessly, still looking quite happy.
Chu Chen, seeing this, laughed, pointing at the food beneath it and said, "Eat if you're hungry, once you finish I'll give you more."
This sentence the little guy understood, and it nodded eagerly, then buried its head again to devour the food.
Chu Chen shook his head with some helplessness upon seeing this; the little creature's gluttonous nature was now confirmed.
At this moment, Feng Shuang, woken by Chu Chen's voice, rubbed its sleepy eyes and let out a displeased cry toward him.
Chu Chen, seeing this, flashed an apologetic smile, hurriedly handed it a lotus seed.
Feng Shuang, upon seeing this, the displeasure on its cheeks immediately vanished, and it held the lotus seed with both hands, nibbling on it in small bites.
The lotus seed had been specially processed to have an unusually soft texture, making it effortless for the little creature to eat.
For Feng Shuang's size, a single lotus seed was enough to fill its belly.
After the two beasts had eaten their fill, Chu Chen placed them on his shoulder and walked out of the room.
With no classes today, he planned to take the two beasts out for a walk, and perhaps train them a bit.
The two little creatures were going out for the first time, and they curiously examined their surroundings with wide eyes.
Due to the language barrier, Chu Chen had to summon Nirvana to act as a translator and clear up their confusion.
Chu Chen didn't urge them, but patiently stood by, waiting.
About an hour later, the two little creatures had a basic understanding of their surroundings.
At this moment, Wang Lei and others also began to leave the room one after another, and upon seeing the two little creatures, they gathered around.
"Wow, this elf is so cute, what's its name?" Sun Mengqi exclaimed upon seeing Feng Shuang.
Chu Chen heard and replied with a smile, "This is an Ice Wind Elf, and I named it Feng Shuang."
"Feng Shuang? Not as nice as Feng Xue; Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon are the true romance for a man," Wang Lei said somewhat meaningfully.
Chu Chen heard this and replied somewhat displeased, "Fatty Wang, you think everyone is as vulgar as you; Feng Shuang is not about Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon, even if they are, they refer to the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, got it?"
Wang Lei, not caring, waved his hand and said, "I'm a simple man, can't understand your scholarly depths."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
They gathered around, teasing the two little creatures, occasionally taking out food from their Spatial Rings to feed to the two beasts.
Feng Shuang was more picky about food and did not accept their offerings, but the cage accepted everything, quickly stuffing itself.
Everyone laughed again looking at the cage's bulging belly.
At this moment, Zhang Yuyan took out a white dress from her Spatial Ring, a long dress she had previously made for the Holy Light Elf.
Since she had made many before, some were outgrown before being worn, and Feng Shuang, just born, fit them perfectly.
Zhang Yuyan placed Feng Shuang on her shoulder and walked toward her room.
Moments later, Zhang Yuyan came out with Feng Shuang wearing the new dress.
Under the white dress, Feng Shuang appeared even more coldly elegant.
Su Mengqi and Li Wanyi rushed toward Feng Shuang, exclaiming in surprise.
Feng Shuang, frightened by the two women's reactions, quickly darted into Zhang Yuyan's arms for protection.
Chu Chen felt somewhat helpless about this; he had been planning to train the two beasts, but now it seemed unlikely to happen anytime soon.
After playing with the two beasts for a while, everyone summoned their newly raised Guardian Beasts.
As top prodigies of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, they never lacked cultivation resources; it was only natural they raised Guardian Beasts ahead of time.
The best among them was Long Yunxiao, whose fourth Guardian Beast had already reached Commander Level, and once he broke through to the Great Soul Master Level, he could immediately bond with it, saving nearly half a year.
The rest weren't far behind; they had all trained their pre-raised Guardian Beasts to Late Stage War General Level.
Some might think you could train Guardian Beasts even earlier, bonding directly with ones at Lord Level strength, thus being able to use them immediately.
People had tried this idea before, but it resulted in severe soul injuries that nearly cost them their lives.
As the Guardian Beasts' strength increases, so does their soul strength. Contracting with a beast of equal strength upon just breaking through results in certain backlash.
After repeated attempts, the conclusion reached was that pre-raising a Guardian Beast's strength should be one major rank below the Beast Master's level; this sets the limit of the bond.
Chu Chen watched as everyone started training their Guardian Beasts, and without further delay, he began training the two little creatures.
Their birth was recent, so they could undergo simple endurance training.
Thanks to Nirvana's translation, the two little creatures understood Chu Chen's intentions.
However, the two little creatures didn't seem interested in training and shook their heads in refusal.
Chu Chen seemed to have expected this; without the restraint of a bond, such behavior was only natural.
Nevertheless, Chu Chen had already devised a way to deal with them.
With Chu Chen's current strength, he could suppress them with force, but doing so would only instill fear in them, leading to many issues once they bonded in the future.
The cage was just a foodie, easy to manipulate.
Chu Chen rubbed the cage's head and whispered, "Little guy, if you complete the training tasks I set, you can eat all the meat you want, but if you refuse, you'll be going hungry today."
The casual tone in Chu Chen's voice made the cage's expression change drastically, and it quickly nodded to show its willingness to train.
Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction seeing this, then shifted his gaze to Feng Shuang.
Upon meeting Chu Chen's gaze, the little creature's eyes were filled with determination, clearly intending to resist to the end.
Chu Chen pointed at its dress and said, "Feng Shuang, do you not want more dresses?"
Feng Shuang subconsciously nodded but quickly shook its head upon realizing.
Chu Chen silently noted victory, having seen the joy in its eyes when it wore the white dress, clearly it loved dresses.
Chu Chen naturally played to its preference, asking Zhang Yuyan for several dresses, intending to tempt compliance.
Chu Chen rubbed Feng Shuang's head and said, "Oh, so you don't like pretty dresses? What a shame, guess I'll have to return these dresses to the Holy Light Elf." With that, he took out several exquisite dresses from his Spatial Ring.
Feng Shuang couldn't stay calm upon seeing the dresses, reaching out to grab them.
However, Chu Chen raised his hand, making the little creature grab empty air.
Feng Shuang showed a pitiful look, about to cry with a pouting mouth.
Chu Chen gently said, "Train well and the dresses are yours."
After looking at the beautiful dresses, Feng Shuang reluctantly nodded, compromising in the end.
Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction, realizing that once you find their weaknesses, handling the two little creatures was quite easy.
