Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? - Chapter 69.1

Shen Rongyu arrived at Elder Qu Ting’s Beast Spirit Valley. When there was no class, Elder Qu Ting would stay on Snow Lake to take care of the Profound Frost Beasts.

Holding some Ice Spirit Fruits in his hand, he distributed them to the Profound Frost Beasts one by one. Bingshuang stood in the middle of the beasts, with his head held high, looking quite at ease, as if he had forgotten Ji Qingzhou long ago.

Seeing Shen Rongyu coming, Elder Qu Ting turned around and looked at him with a smile: “Rongyu, why are you here today?”

Shen Rongyu greeted him politely, “Elder Qu.”

Then he pointed to You You who was perching on his shoulder. The little guy was quite fat, and he felt heavy on his shoulders.

“After the mountain gates were opened, I bought a Profound Frost Beast for Qingzhou. Now that she is going to go down the mountain to cultivate, I brought this little beast to you on her behalf.” Shen Rongyu picked You You and handed him to Qu Ting. “Elder Qu wouldn’t mind raising one more Profound Frost Beast, right?”

Of course Elder Qu Ting didn’t mind raising another one. He took You You with a smile and couldn’t help commenting with emotion, “He’s really heavy.”

You You flapped his wings in Elder Qu Ting’s big palm. As if dissatisfied, he whimpered a few times.

“It’s always eating,” Shen Rongyu had long felt that Ji Qingzhou had been feeding him for lengthy times, and as long as You You was willing to eat, she would keep giving him fruit. She had no experience in raising spirit beasts, nor did she entertain thoughts of helping You You to go on a diet — This was also the reason why she did not want to actively raise spirit beasts. She was just clueless about raising them.

“It’s okay. It’s good that he eats a lot. My Profound Frost Beast here is a picky eater until now,” Elder Qu Ting replied.

He carried You You among the Profound Frost Beasts. Although these spirit beasts were arrogant by nature, they were unexpectedly friendly to their own kind. Hence, when the chubby You You reached the center of the Profound Frost Beast herd, everyone approached closer to scrutinize him, gently sniffing him and letting out dull grunts.

Bingshuang was no exception. With a keen sense of smell, she sniffed a familiar smell on You You — It was Ji Qingzhou’s.

As a result, she fumed and puffed out a mass of chilly frost toward You You, sending the little guy rolling backwards a few times in fright.

“Bingshuang should have smelled Qingzhou’s fragrance.” Elder Qu Ting could not help sighing. “It has been so long. The Profound Frost Beast that partnered with Yaolan was too heart-broken to eat after separating from her, he has almost forgotten her now. However, Bingshuang still remembers her. She’s always throwing tantrums at me these days.”

Shen Rongyu’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Bingshuang. The big gal was baring her teeth viciously at You You, but the little guy wasn’t the least bit daunted. On the contrary, he couldn’t stop banging his head into her because he liked her — You You was fond of creatures that weren’t particularly friendly to him, just like how he got more excited when Maomao ignored him.

Of course, Shen Rongyu was an exception. You You was truly afraid of him. It was only when Ji Qingzhou was present that this person and beast could barely show the picture of “a loving father and filial son”.

“I once asked her if she wanted to bring Bingshuang back.” Shen Rongyu chuckled when he heard his comment, “But she refused to do so.”

Hearing this, Elder Qu Ting was taken aback. Had Ji Qingzhou wanted Bingshuang, he certainly wouldn’t mind sending her away as the beast herself was willing… But one thing stuck in his mind.

“Rongyu, you even managed to think about taking this spirit beast away from Qingzhou. What about yourself?” Elder Qu Ting stood with his hands behind his back and slowly asked Shen Rongyu.

Shen Rongyu had long forgotten that he had once had a good companion in Spirit Beast class. He raised an eyebrow and echoed, “Me?”

“I’m talking about Moyu Bird.” Elder Qu Ting said, “Rong yu, your partner in the Spirit Beast Class is a small bird but very capable.”

Shen Rongyu remembered that he did briefly fight side by side with a kind of spirit beast named Moyu Bird in the Spirit Beast class.

“I didn’t expect that spirit beast to be so fragile. Rongyu, you treated it kindly and it regarded you as its real master, but then you left without coming to see it, so it died.” Qu Ting sighed softly and said, “Later, I no longer dared to use such weak spirit beasts as partners for the disciples in class. These Profound Frost Beasts are not so dependent on their masters.”

Shen Rongyu seemed a little puzzled. He didn’t know about it. His eyes flickered slightly and he asked, “It died?”

“Yes, it missed you immensely… You treated it quite very well, just frighteningly real. That spirit beast was not yet spiritually wise, very stupid and loyal.” Elder Qu Ting looked towards the distant Peach Garden. “I later buried it in the Peach Garden. Do you want to go and see it, Rongyu?”

“No need,” Shen Rongyu refused. This feeling of surprise was only fleeting. It was just a bird.

Who asked it to foolishly believe him? Shen Rongyu remained calm and rational — He just took care of it according to the knowledge he learned in class.

“I knew you would say that.” Elder Qu Ting looked at him and smiled.

Most of the elders in Xuanyun Sect trusted Shen Rongyu and thought he was an excellent cultivator, but he was the only one who didn’t like him that much.

He was indeed sensible and outstanding, but he lacked emotions. His gentle and soft appearance was merely… an image he showed to the outside world.
