Chapter 104: Little Ferret's Shock, Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python, What Kind of Monster Is This?
Lin Yan was always very generous with his pet, the Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python.
As long as Little Color wanted to eat a pill or spiritual herb, Lin Yan would almost always satisfy its desires.
He had several reasons for doing so.
Firstly, because Little Color was indeed worth cultivating, with extremely high potential. If cultivated successfully in the future, it could at least become a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse.
Secondly, because Little Color was extremely loyal. Although it spent most of its time sleeping, whenever it was awake, it obediently followed Lin Yan's commands.
Of course, the most important reason was that Little Color harbored the soul of the Medusa Queen.
According to Lin Yan's memory, the best way to control the Medusa Queen was to gain the favor of the Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python since they were essentially one entity.
So, in the later stages, the souls of Little Color and the Medusa Queen would merge.
At that time, Little Color would be the Medusa Queen, and the Medusa Queen would be Little Color.
Therefore, Lin Yan would not give up any opportunities to build rapport with Little Color in the early stages.
Although the Medusa Queen was indeed ruthless, Lin Yan believed that with enough favor, she could transform from a ruthless queen into his own tsundere beauty snake.
So at this moment, Lin Yan naturally didn't hesitate to please Little Color. He handed over the spiritual herb to it for tasting.
Seeing this, Little Color showed joy. First, it gratefully rubbed its head against Lin Yan's face, then turned around and swallowed the spiritual herb Lin Yan had just obtained.
As the herb entered its stomach, Little Color felt a strong surge of fire elemental power coursing through its body, making its belly feel warm and comfortable, and it smiled contentedly.
However, one herb seemed to be not enough to satisfy its appetite. After finishing it, Little Color still seemed unsatisfied, staring at Lin Yan with big eyes, silently asking for more.
"I really can't do anything with you."
"It's fortunate that you met me. Otherwise, other people might not be able to keep you alive."
Lin Yan sighed helplessly.
Then he took out a large batch of fire attribute pills from his storage ring.
These pills had various effects, but the common feature was the astonishing fire elemental power contained within them, making them Little Color's favorite food.
Seeing Lin Yan toss out a large batch of pills, Little Color happily approached and started eating them.
After finishing all the pills, it burped satisfactorily and displayed a satisfied smile, as if it were a very human-like gesture.
"You, really want to drain me dry."
"Now that the stock is gone, I'll have to prepare another batch of fire attribute pills when I go back."
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Little Color's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. The batch of pills he had just tossed out would have lasted for several meals for it in the past, but now it finished them in one meal.
It was fortunate that he was an alchemist; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford to raise such a gluttonous beast.
Feeling Little Color's belly, Lin Yan felt that it had grown a bit larger again.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed ripples on the surface of the Elixir Pool, and Lin Dong jumped out of it.
"Lin Yan, what a coincidence, you're here too?"
Lin Dong seemed to be in a very good mood. When he emerged from the Elixir Pool, his face was full of smiles.
"How about it? Did you gain anything in the Elixir Pool?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.
Lin Dong nodded in response. "Thanks to Brother Lin Yan's efforts, I gained a lot in the Elixir Pool this time."
Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction. "That's good."
Looking at Little Color on the side, Lin Dong realized that he hadn't seen it for a while. Seeing it again, he felt that it had grown even bigger. He couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect Little Color to grow even larger."
The ferret inside the stone token also noticed Little Color, but initially didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just an ordinary snake. However, after careful investigation, it was astonished by the powerful bloodline force emanating from Little Color.
"This snake's bloodline power is even stronger than this ferret's Celestial Fiend Ferret's?" the ferret exclaimed in disbelief.
"What kind of creature is this?"
This surprised the ferret quite a bit, as the Celestial Fiend Ferret could be considered a top-tier bloodline beast in this realm. Yet, Little Color's bloodline seemed to surpass it, leaving the ferret quite amazed.
"Oh?"
"A bloodline even more impressive than the ferret's?"
"So, Little Color is really that powerful?"
Lin Dong also felt somewhat astonished at this revelation. After all, the ferret had always boasted about its Celestial Fiend Ferret identity with great pride, so he naturally assumed it was extremely powerful. Yet, now, the ferret was admitting that its bloodline was inferior to Little Color's. This was quite intriguing.
Hence, Lin Dong relayed the ferret's words to Lin Yan, asking, "Brother Lin Yan, is Little Color's bloodline really that impressive?"
Lin Yan smiled faintly, showing no surprise. "Naturally. It's the Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python, so it's naturally very powerful."
Hearing this, Lin Dong and the ferret fell silent.
Although they didn't know what exactly the Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python was, the name alone sounded extremely domineering.
"Little Ferret, don't you want to get to know Little Color?" Lin Dong asked the ferret.
The ferret quickly shook its head. "No! This snake doesn't look friendly at all. If I go out, I might end up being swallowed by it, and that would be the end of me."
After saying this, the ferret even seemed a bit afraid as it cowered in the corner, showing a comical appearance of refusing to leave the stone token.
Lin Dong felt increasingly puzzled by this.
"Why so scared?"
Although he had always felt that the ferret's boasting about its own strength was somewhat exaggerated, the ferret did indeed have the bloodline of a Celestial Fiend Ferret. Even if it couldn't defeat Little Color, it should at least be able to deal with it, right?
However, seeing the ferret's fearful appearance, it was clear that it had a deep fear of Little Color.
Was Little Color really so terrifying?
Seeing Lin Dong's puzzled expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, Little Color won't harm you."
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and patted Little Color's head.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Little Color showed a smug expression. With Lin Yan's assurance, it felt even more confident.
However, Lin Dong still had his doubts. He was unwilling to believe that a ferret with the bloodline of a Celestial Fiend Ferret would actually be afraid of a snake.
Hence, he couldn't help but ask Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, are you sure Little Color won't harm us?"
Lin Yan smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, I guarantee it."
As soon as Lin Yan's voice fell, Little Color suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp teeth.
Seeing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but retreat a few steps, his face full of fear.
"What are you doing?!"
Seeing Little Color's threatening gesture, Lin Yan couldn't help but scold it.
However, Little Color completely ignored Lin Yan's scolding. Instead, it kept staring at Lin Dong with its sharp eyes, as if it was about to swallow him at any moment.
Feeling the intense hostility emanating from Little Color, Lin Dong's heart trembled.
He was certain that if he took one more step forward, Little Color would definitely attack him.
At this moment, he finally realized that Little Color was not as friendly as Lin Yan had said.
On the contrary, it was extremely terrifying!
Just as Lin Dong was about to retreat in panic, he suddenly heard Lin Yan's laughter.
"Little Color, stop fooling around."
As soon as Lin Yan's voice fell, Little Color obediently closed its mouth and withdrew its threatening posture, showing an innocent expression as if it had done nothing wrong.
Seeing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel speechless.
He finally understood that Lin Yan's words were just to comfort him. In fact, Little Color was indeed very terrifying.
It was fortunate that Lin Yan was present. Otherwise, if Little Color really attacked him just now, he might not have been able to escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but shiver.
He silently made up his mind that he must never provoke Little Color in the future.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Seeing Lin Dong's frightened expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh.
He then turned to the ferret and said, "Little Ferret, you don't need to be afraid. Little Color won't harm you either."
However, the ferret didn't seem to hear Lin Yan's words at all. Instead, it was still hiding in the corner, showing no intention of coming out.
Seeing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
The Celestial Fiend Ferret was indeed quite timid.
However, Lin Yan didn't intend to force it out. He could understand its fear of Little Color, so he didn't want to push it too hard.
Instead, he turned to Lin Dong and said, "Since you've gained something from the Elixir Pool, let's go back and have a good rest. We'll continue our cultivation tomorrow."
Lin Dong nodded in agreement.
With that, the two of them left the Elixir Pool and returned to their respective rooms to rest.
As for the ferret, it stayed in the stone token and refused to come out, showing no intention of leaving anytime soon.
Seeing this, Lin Yan could only smile helplessly.
It seemed that the ferret would need some time to recover from the shock it had just received.
However, Lin Yan believed that with time, it would gradually adapt to Little Color's presence and come out of the stone token on its own.
As for Little Color, it lay lazily on the ground, its body curled up into a ball, seemingly ready to fall asleep at any moment.
Seeing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile.
Although Little Color looked harmless, it was actually a terrifying existence.
However, as long as he was around, he believed that he could control it and prevent it from causing any trouble.
After all, it was his pet, and he would never allow it to harm anyone.
With that in mind, Lin Yan closed his eyes and began to cultivate, preparing for tomorrow's training.
As for Little Color, it lay quietly beside him, its eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
However, in reality, it was still awake, silently guarding Lin Yan as it had always done.
In the darkness, the two of them quietly cultivated, their hearts connected as one, forming an inseparable bond.
This was the bond between a master and his pet, a bond that could withstand the test of time and overcome any obstacles.
As long as they were together, no one could defeat them!
