Chapter 75 The Golden Roc
Lu Jinyan was so startled by the sudden pounce that she stumbled back several steps before regaining her balance. Looking at the person suddenly in her arms and the little head rubbing against her shoulder, chattering incessantly, Lu Jinyan was a little taken aback.
"Miss, please don't be rude! Miss Lu has just recovered from a serious illness. You must be careful not to hurt her. Let go of her now!"
Just as Lu Jinyan was about to ask who the little girl was, a middle-aged man in white hurriedly chased after her.
"You are... Kang Ning?" Lu Jinyan was a little unsure. To be honest, she didn't quite remember who was who among that group of people that day. She had never had a very good memory.
"Sister Lu, you still remember me, that's wonderful! I knew you wouldn't forget me! But Sister Lu, could you call me Ning'er?" Kang Ning looked up at Lu Jinyan with pleading eyes, her arms still wrapped around her waist, unwilling to let go.
“Miss, please release Miss Lu first. What kind of behavior is this! Miss Lu, please don’t blame Miss Ning’er for being young and not knowing manners. I’m really sorry!” The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly as he looked at his young mistress.
"It's alright, it's nothing serious, I'm fine now!" Lu Jinyan smiled and reached out to rub Kang Ning's head. Actually, she had guessed it herself. Chu Chu had told her that after she fainted that day, it was Sect Master Kang of the Beast Taming Sect who saved them.
Before she fainted that day, she saw a large bird flying towards them in the sky, and several people were standing on the bird. Except for the leader, the others were all wearing the same clothes as the middle-aged man. Presumably, this was the sect uniform of the Beast Taming Sect.
That's why she guessed that the little girl in front of her was Kang Ning, the apple of the eye of the Beast Taming Sect.
Kang Ning was lively and cheerful. When she saw that Lu Jinyan did not blame her, but instead affectionately patted her head, her eyes lit up and she held Lu Jinyan's hand tightly.
Lu Jinyan didn't find it annoying at all. She stayed with Kang Ning in the room and chatted for most of the day. They even ate lunch in Lu Jinyan's room.
Seeing that Kang Ning was still lingering at Lu Jinyan's place, Kang Shou spoke up again. Kang Shou was the middle-aged man who was with Kang Ning.
"Miss Ning'er, it's getting late. Miss Lu has just recovered from a serious illness and shouldn't overexert herself. Let's go back first and let Miss Lu rest. We can come again tomorrow, okay?"
Although Kang Ning was very reluctant, he thought that Lu Jinyan had suffered such serious injuries and should indeed rest well, so he obediently got up and prepared to leave.
"Okay, then Sister Lu, you get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow. Oh, by the way, this is for you. Thank you for saving me, Sister Lu!"
Kang Ning took a small golden bird out of the bag at his waist and handed it to Lu Jinyan. Lu Jinyan looked at the golden bird with a blank expression.
"This is..."
"Sister Lu, this is a Golden Roc, a tamed mount. My father gave it to me. It's very obedient. Today I'm giving it to you, Sister Lu. From now on, wherever you want to go, let it take you. It flies very fast!" Kang Ning excitedly introduced it to Lu Jinyan.
Lu Jinyan was even more confused. This thing was so small. To put it bluntly, if she farted, it might be able to send this thing flying. How could this thing be a mount?
Kang Shou noticed Lu Jinyan's confusion, smiled, took the Golden Roc from Kang Ning, walked into the courtyard, muttered a spell, and then threw the small bird, which was no bigger than his fist, out.
The moment he threw it, the little bird, which was the size of a chick, instantly transformed into a huge, golden bird with a large chair on its back. The bird lowered its head and rubbed against Kang Shou's palm, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
Lu Jinyan almost burst into tears at the sight. Good heavens!
This is a mount! So majestic, so imposing, so... scary...
"Sister Lu, how is it? Isn't it amazing?" Kang Ning proudly raised her head. The demon beast that her father had personally tamed was no ordinary demon beast!
"Hehehe, impressive, very impressive!" Lu Jinyan swallowed hard and secretly took two steps back, afraid that she might be kicked by this big bird if she wasn't careful.
Kang Ning waved his hand, and the large golden bird landed in the yard. Then it transformed into an adorable little bird and flew back into Kang Ning's hand.
"Hey, Sister Lu, this is for you!"
"Ah? No, no, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it!" Lu Jinyan quickly waved her hand. This was a demon beast mount, it was extremely expensive, she couldn't accept it!
“Miss Lu, please accept this. This is also our sect leader’s wish. You risked your life to save Miss Ning’er and everyone else. This is just a small token of our gratitude. If you don’t accept it, we will never feel at ease for the rest of our lives. Miss Lu, please don’t worry. This Golden Roc was personally tamed by our sect leader. There will be no problem. We have no other intention than to express our gratitude to Miss Lu!”
Kang Shou smiled and took the golden roc from Kang Ning's hand, then presented it to Lu Jinyan with both hands. Lu Jinyan was at a loss for what to do. She admitted that she wanted a mount, but getting something for nothing seemed a bit inappropriate.
Moreover, the bird looked rather fierce, and to be honest, she was a little scared. And most importantly, she didn't know how to control a demonic beast!
"Jin'er, since this is the intention of the Beast Taming Sect, you should accept it!" Ruohan's voice rang out from behind her. Lu Jinyan turned around and saw Ruohan standing behind her with a smile on her face.
The Golden Roc made quite a commotion, and he saw it from afar. Because he was worried about Lu Jinyan, he came over to check on her, only to stumble upon this scene.
"But, but..." Lu Jinyan wanted to say something more, but Kang Ning didn't give her the chance.
"Sister Lu, please accept it, I beg you!"
"Alright, alright, then thank you Ning'er, and thank you Sect Leader Kang too!" Lu Jinyan hurriedly took the little bird from Kang Shou's hand. Seeing that Lu Jinyan had accepted it, Kang Ning smiled happily.
Kang Ning lingered and told Lu Jinyan a lot about raising and controlling demonic beasts, taught her incantations, and then gave Lu Jinyan the eight-treasure bag from his waist that was used to store demonic beasts.
"Sister Lu, this eight-treasure bag is specially designed to hold demonic beasts. One bag can hold up to eight demonic beasts. When not in use, you can hang it on your waist like a small sachet, which won't hinder your movement. My mother embroidered this one herself, and I'm giving it to you as well. And this is food for feeding the demonic beasts. Keep it safe. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"
