29: Good news, the little ice fox is willing to let you hold it, but bad news, the weird uncle won't let you hold it.

Most of the fierce beasts in this forest upgrade very slowly, and their Upper limit is relatively low; reaching the tenth rank is already quite good, with only a few rare fierce beasts able to cultivate to the twentieth rank.

However, the Snow Shadow Ice Fox, a fierce beast, is said to be able to reach the fiftieth rank, which is simply a dimensionality reduction strike for the fierce beasts here.

The Little Ice Fox is currently only at the second rank. Although it has awakened the innate skill "Freeze" belonging to the Snow Shadow Ice Fox, it needs to reach at least the tenth rank to awaken another innate skill.

By then, it will truly be unrivaled in this forest.

The Little Ice Fox itself doesn't know this; it was born in this forest, so it naturally considers itself a native.

Recently, it encountered a third-rank fierce beast. They fought fiercely over food, and in the end, the Little Ice Fox was defeated, failed to get the food, and could only run away dejectedly.

However, it was precisely because of this food struggle that it realized the importance of strength.

Whether among humans or animals, fighting over resources is common, let alone when they are fighting over food.

And so, early in the morning, the Little Ice Fox ran to the train to cultivate.

The spiritual energy in the train is the most abundant, a hundred times more abundant than the natural spiritual energy in the forest. As long as it cultivates more on the train, surpassing other fierce beasts will be just around the corner.

By then, it will no longer be afraid of that third-rank fierce beast. How could food that's already within its grasp be snatched away by another fierce beast?

This is the Little Ice Fox's biggest wish at the moment.

Just as the Little Ice Fox was diligently cultivating, the three passengers Lin Feng was familiar with arrived again.

“Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred twenty low-grade spirit stones.”

Wang Yi spread his hands and said, “I don’t need to buy a ticket, do I? I’ve already deposited spirit stones.”

“No, you don't.” This was a big customer, someone who wasn't short on money.

Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi each took out one hundred twenty low-grade spirit stones and purchased their tickets.

“Isn’t that the Little Ice Fox? We meet again.” Wang Yi turned his head and immediately saw the Little Ice Fox sitting on the seat, diligently cultivating.

Seeing the Little Ice Fox, Ge Yunying immediately showed a kind smile: “Little fella, what a coincidence.”

Upon hearing this, the Little Ice Fox secretly opened one eye, then quickly closed it again.

No, it had to cultivate properly and couldn't be influenced by others.

But... yesterday, that bad person was looking for it everywhere, and they all lied for it.

Thinking of this, the Little Ice Fox reopened its eyes, both of them this time.

Ge Yunying was extremely surprised. Last time, the Little Ice Fox was very scared and didn't dare to approach them, but this time it was looking directly at her with its big, rolling eyes.

As a woman, Ge Yunying couldn't resist such a cute creature as the Little Ice Fox, so she approached it step by step: “Little fella, can I hold you?”

On this train, the Little Ice Fox could understand what they were saying.

Similarly, Ge Yunying could also understand what the Little Ice Fox was saying.

“Woof woof, woof woof woof. (Alright, I’ll reluctantly let you hold me.)” the Little Ice Fox said haughtily.

Ge Yunying's eyes widened.

Great joy! The Little Ice Fox was actually willing to be held!

She had long wanted to pet the cute Little Ice Fox, and now that the Little Ice Fox was no longer hiding from her, she naturally didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward, scooping the Little Ice Fox into her arms.

Heavens, this fluffy touch, this fragrant, soft body!

It successfully captured Ge Yunying's heart.

“Can I hold it too?” Feng Zhi saw Ge Yunying holding the Little Ice Fox with a look of enjoyment and was filled with envy.

Unexpectedly, the Little Ice Fox immediately turned its head away: “Woof woof. (No holding for the weird uncle.)”

Feng Zhi: ???

Wang Yi burst out laughing: “Hahaha, your face does look a bit old for your age. You’re only in your twenties, but you look like a middle-aged uncle.”

Feng Zhi looked defeated: “I don’t want to either. My middle age has lasted much longer than others.”

Was it his fault that he looked old for his age?

No!

He didn't expect the Little Ice Fox to be part of the appearance-obsessed club.

“I don’t need to hold other fierce beasts; I have my own Mystic Horned Beast.” Wang Yi said, summoning his Mystic Horned Beast, and then he saw a subtitle appear along with the Mystic Horned Beast:

“Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket upon boarding. The fare is one hundred twenty low-grade spirit stones.”

Wang Yi: “…”

Feng Zhi, on the other hand, laughed heartily: “Hahaha, this train really loves money.”

Wang Yi was speechless: “I’ve already deposited so many spirit stones, and the Mystic Horned Beast still needs a ticket??”

“You only prepaid for your own ticket.”

Wang Yi: His fist hardened, his fist hardened.

“Then I’ll pay another one thousand two hundred spirit stones so the Mystic Horned Beast can also ride ten times.”

“Okay, boss, thank you, boss!”

Wang Yi: “…”

Why did he feel like a sucker?

After letting Ge Yunying hold it for a while, the Little Ice Fox jumped down and returned to its seat to continue cultivating. Ge Yunying also quickly entered a state of cultivation, trying to waste as little time as possible on the train.

Wang Yi was even more unwilling to waste time; he had paid for two tickets!

He had agreed with the Mystic Horned Beast to absorb the spiritual energy on the train as much as possible, not stopping for a moment until they got off!

As for Feng Zhi, he had already gone to his seat early, sat down, and circulated the elemental energy within his body to cultivate.

The early bird catches the worm. His talent was not as good as Wang Yi's, and his intelligence was not as good as Ge Yunying's. If he didn't work harder, he would be left behind even faster in the future.

He and Wang Yi were childhood friends, growing up together since they were young, but their statuses were worlds apart.

Wang Yi awakened as a Beast Tamer, and his talent was quite good. He was valued by the Bureau Chief, taken as a direct disciple, and had a continuous supply of cultivation resources.

But what about him?

He was just an ordinary martial artist, and even in the Beast Taming Bureau, he was never noticed.

Sometimes, because he was close to Wang Yi, people would gossip, saying he was currying favor with Wang Yi.

Well... there was certainly some currying favor, but it was more about friendship. Otherwise, so many people curried favor with Wang Yi, but Wang Yi didn't take them to play.

Ge Yunying was not from the Beast Taming Bureau and didn't even live in the Wall. They met in the forest during a mission when they were accidentally targeted by a fourth-rank fierce beast and almost stayed there forever. Fortunately, Ge Yunying was nearby and, in a flash of lightning, used her wisdom to lead the two of them to escape.

After that, Wang Yi often invited Ge Yunying to do missions in the forest together. Over time, the three of them became close and formed a three-person team.

But whether it was the previous two-person team or the current three-person team, he, Feng Zhi, was always the one at the bottom.

So, don't let his usual carefree demeanor fool you into thinking he doesn't care; in reality, he secretly works hard every night.

If effort could truly catch up to talent... he thought, he would do it.

Of course, the possibility was small.

But if he wasn't even willing to try, he would only fall further behind them.
