Seeing Lin Shiru blushing with her mouth slightly open, Ye Xuan felt an impulse.

But he did not do anything.

He would rather wait so that he could get more from her.

This was a good opportunity for him to prove to Lin Shiru he was a great guy.

“Don’t worry. I really have got some good stuff.”

“Open your eyes for now. Let’s sit down on the sofa, and then I will feed you with it,” he said to her.

An idea came into his head when he had seen Lin Shiru so nervous.

It was a rare opportunity to see this side of Lin Shiru. He had to make it last longer.

“You are full of wicked ideas.”

Lin Shiru opened her eyes helplessly. She gave Ye Xuan a stare and grabbed the belt of her bathrobe from Ye Xuan’s hand.

“Heh-hey.”

Ye Xuan smiled. He walked over to sit down on the sofa first. Then he signed Lin Shiru with his hand to sit there with him.

“Can we proceed now?”

Lin Shiru walked over and sat down next to him, slightly annoyed, but she could not say no.

Keeping her legs close together, she threw him an elusive look.

“Sure. Sure. Sit closer to me. Close your eyes, and open your mouth,” Ye Xuan said right away.

“Hurry up,” Lin Shiru urged him.

But then, something occurred to her. She asked immediately, “By the way, you are not going to give me a Beast Taming Elixir, are you? I told you, you should keep one for yourself. And with my current cultivation level, it will be wasted even if I use it.”

“Take it easy. I know that perfectly.”

Ye Xuan waved his hand to sign to her that she should close her eyes.

Seeing Ye Xuan react this way, Lin Shiru took a deep breath. Then she leaned back against the sofa.

Following Ye Xuan’s direction, she closed her eyes again.

Then she opened her mouth slowly.

“Heh-hey.”

Ye Xuan was amused by how Lin Shiru was behaving.

If there was a first time, there would be a second time.

Lin Shiru was obviously much more obedient than earlier.

He gazed at Lin Shiru for a second when she had been ready. Then he took out the elixir bottle with the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir in it.

In the meantime, he said, “Okay. Don’t open your eyes. Don’t use your Mind Energy, either.”

And he took the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir out quickly and put it into Lin Shiru’s mouth.

The Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir was white.

It had a pale luster on it.

And it felt cool when he was holding it in his hand.

It was small, as small as a sugar ball.

Therefore, Ye Xuan put it into Lin Shiru’s mouth with ease.

“Stay put. Don’t spit it out. And don’t swallow it, either. Just hold it in your mouth for two seconds.”

Ye Xuan did not retract his hand when he had put the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir into Lin Shiru’s mouth.

Instead, he also put his right index finger between her red lips and pressed the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir against her tongue with it so that she would neither spit the elixir out nor swallow it.

Lin Shiru looked very shy. And he just kept looking at her.

Seeing her blush more and more, he did not retract his finger with some of Lin Shiru’s saliva on it until two seconds later. He was happy, but he also wished this could have lasted longer.

“What did you give me?”

Lin Shiru finally opened her eyes.

The Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir left a cool feeling in her mouth.

It melted in less than two seconds.

However, it did not flow into her body after it had melted.

Instead, it turned into some mysterious energy that surged into her Spirit Ocean.

She thus realized what Ye Xuan had fed her with was absolutely not a common thing.

However, she felt her body suddenly went weak when the mysterious energy surged into her Spirit Ocean, and she was losing control of her own body.

“It was a sugar ball. How was it? Was it sweet?”

Ye Xuan grinned at her.

“Tell me the truth!” Lin Shiru said seriously while looking at Ye Xuan.

She felt several spirals had emerged in her Spirit Ocean.

And her body was even more out of control. Even her voice had changed.

Her heart fell. She wondered what Ye Xuan had given her.

“How are you feeling? It’s supposed to be safe.”

Ye Xuan was surprised by Lin Shiru’s reaction.

It was him who gave her the thing. If anything happened, he would feel remorse for the rest of his life.

“I don’t know. I’ve got a few spirals in my Spirit Ocean, and I feel I have low energy.”

Leaning against the sofa and looking at Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru said, “What on earth did you give me?”

“Beast Taming Elixir, as you guessed,” Ye Xuan told her honestly.

“There are three kinds of Beast Taming Elixirs. The first is Three-Fold Beast Taming Elixir, which is for Beast Tamers on and below the Challenger level. They will have one more beast spot after taking it.”

“The second is Six-Fold Beast Taming Elixir, which is for Beast Tamers above the Challenger level. They will have one more beast spot as well after taking it.”

“Besides these two, the third is Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir.”

Ye Xuan paused here for a second. Then he went on, “That’s what I gave you. A Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir.”

“You gave me a Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir?”

Lin Shiru was stunned.

Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes. According to the description of the inheritance I got, Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixirs can enhance the Beast Tamer Aptness Level, but I don’t know by how much it can enhance that.”

Then, looking at Lin Shiru, he asked, “How do you feel now?”

“Well, my energy is still low. And… I feel like I’ve got some new Seeds of Beasts. Yeah, there is more than one,” Lin Shiru said to Ye Xuan after a careful check of her body and her Spirit Ocean.

Then, looking at Ye Xuan, she said, “That elixir…”

“Shush!” Ye Xuan put a finger to Lin Shiru’s lips.

“I checked my Beast Tamer Aptness Level when I had got the inheritance. I’m already one of the best. So even Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixirs are useless for me.”

“Except you, I can’t think of anyone that I can give this elixir to.”

“Your low-energy level probably resulted from the transformation in your Spirit Ocean. Don’t worry about it. Don’t speak for now.”

“Let’s wait until you’ve completely taken in the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir.”

“If you are not feeling well, you can lean against me. Or do you want to lie down?”

Lin Shiru did not speak.

Her Spirit Ocean was shaking violently. And she was really dizzy. Losing control of her body more and more, she had to lean against the sofa.

She even found it was very tiring for her to speak. All she wanted was to close her eyes and have a long sleep.

“How are you feeling?”

Seeing Lin Shiru not feeling well, Ye Xuan was worried.

“Don’t… I want to sleep. I will be fine,” Lin Shiru said in a shallow voice.

Then she remained reticent on the sofa.

“Sleep? Don’t sleep here.”

Ye Xuan thought he could not let Lin Shiru sleep on the sofa like that.

So he got to his feet and carried her to his bedroom in his arms.

He was a gentleman in the whole process. He did not touch anywhere on Lin Shiru that he was not supposed to.

Lin Shiru was not feeling well. He was worried about her and hoped she could feel better. That was the only thing on his mind at the moment.

He put a pillow under Lin Shiru’s head after leaving her on his bed. He took her shoes off and covered her with a thin quilt. Then he sat down next to the bed in case she woke up and needed anything.

In the meantime, he was praying silently.

He was praying she would be fine.

Time passed quickly.

About four or five hours later, Lin Shiru finally woke up.

She saw Ye Xuan staring at her from not far away as soon as she woke up.

“You are awake. How do you feel?”

Seeing Lin Shiru wake up, Ye Xuan hurried to approach her to check up on her.

“I’m fine.”

Looking at Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru said seriously, “Thank you, Ye Xuan.”

“No problem. But please don’t blame me.”

“Why would I blame you?”

Ye Xuan lowered his head and whispered into Lin Shiru’s ear, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be comfortable. So I took your clothes…”

Lin Shiru’s face was petrified. She hurried to check herself with her hands under the quilt.

Then she stared at Ye Xuan immediately. “Are you addicted to bullying me or what?”

“Heh-hey.” Ye Xuan grinned.

He certainly would not have done that when Lin Shiru was unconscious.

He was teasing her.

But as Lin Shiru said, he was really a little addicted to teasing her and “bullying” her like that.

“Well, no jokes for now. Tell me. Have you felt anything after taking the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir?” Ye Xuan said seriously while looking at Lin Shiru.

Lin Shiru checked her Spirit Ocean. “I think I might have seven Seeds of Beasts more, and I’ve got a new talent awake…” she said to Ye Xuan in surprise.

“One of these seven Seeds of Beasts can only be used to contract with an Apprentice-level beast. One for Dark Iron-level beasts only… And one for Diamond-level beasts only.”

She looked at Ye Xuan. “I think we are the same now. I will be able to contract with two beasts every time I level up.”

“Yeah?”

Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. He wondered whether the Nine-Fold Beast Taming Elixir had enhanced Lin Shiru’s talent to the Mythic level.

It was exactly thanks to his Mythic-level talent that he had been able to contract with two beasts every time he leveled up.

But since Mythic-level beasts were differentiated by grade, he supposed Mythic-level talents also had different grades.

He wondered what the grade of Lin Shiru’s Mythic-level talent could be if it were true that her talent had enhanced to the Mythic level.

And what about the grade of his talent?

“What about your talent?” Ye Xuan asked.

“I’ve only got one new talent awake. It’s called Divine Nature Affinity.”

Lin Shiru said after a pause, “This talent is a little special. I saw several spirals in my Spirit Ocean, and all of them merged into one. That’s how the talent emerged.”

“With this talent, I can make my beasts evolve with more ease when resources created based on evolutionary recipes are used.”

“Even if the first attempt fails, there will be a second time, a third time.”

“While others can only try once, they will probably fail even if they make a second try.”

“And I can use an evolutionary recipe on my beasts without having to know the precise proportion of the ingredients. All I need to know is what ingredients are involved.”

“And…”

“Wait a minute.” However, Ye Xuan cut in when Lin Shiru was still speaking. He looked at her as if he could not believe what he was going to say. “Do you know what I am thinking?”

“What are you thinking?” Lin Shiru blinked.

She was still lying on the bed. And she did not feel very comfortable being stared at by Ye Xuan like that.
