"Oh, is this not Fifth Young Master? Please come in Fifth Young Master! What would you like today? We have a few new Spirit Beasts in store today! Would you like to have a look?" A amiable shopkeeper stepped forward to warmly welcome her, evident that he was familiar with the Sima You Yue.

She quickly searched her memories for a moment and realized why that shopkeeper gave her such a warm welcome. Indeed, the Sima You Yue before often patronized this store and bought spirit beasts and gifted them to various Young Masters around town to please them.

Since she did that on a regular basis, she quickly became well acquainted with this shopkeeper.

"Fifth Young Master, please have a look at our latest arrivals. We have here, a fifth low-ranked firefox. We also have a sixth low-ranked wind wolf. How is it? Quite good, aren't they?" The storekeeper smiled as he introduced the spirit beasts that were locked up in the cages before them.

Sima You Yue looked at the wind wolf that looked back at her without a trace of life or emotion, it's fur was very full and glossy, something of high quality. "Oh, I have no intention to buy anything as I didn't bring any money out with me today. Since I can't even establish any contract with any spirit beasts, why do I even need to buy one?"

Who did not know that the General Residence's Fifth Young Master was labelled as trash and could not establish any spirit link, how could he have any contracts with spirit beasts? To establish a contract, one must first have a spirit link stemming from the Spirit Master. Hence whenever the Fifth Young Master bought a spirit beast, it was always given away as a gift. However for the shopkeeper, it didn't matter as long as he could make some business.

"If Fifth Young Master likes it, you can bring the spirit beast back first and send someone to pay for it later. Oh! The last time Young Master Murong An wanted a wind wolf but there was no stock then. You have to quickly act on this or else it's going to be sold out soon!" The shopkeeper prattled on.

If it was the Sima You Yue before, she would definitely have bitten the bait and bought the wind wolf in a heartbeat, anything that Murong An wanted, she would have no qualms about giving it to him no matter the cost.

However, Sima You Yue heard the words of the shopkeeper and simply replied: "Well, if I see him, I'll let him know."

Afterwhich she turned and left the shop.

"..."

For a few seconds the shopkeeper could not react. Only after she had left the shop did he touch his own forehead in stupor and muttered: "I don't have a fever, how am I hallucinating? This Sima You Yue not only heard Murong An wanted it, he simply just left without buying it! And so calmly at that? Did the sun rise from the west today?"

Sime You Yue thought back of what just happened in the shop. Even a meager shopkeeper was using Murong An's name to sell a spirit beast to her, how well known was she for liking Murong An?

Thinking back on the spirit wolf, she softly sighed again in amazement of this new magical world she now lived it. Although the previous Sima You Yue could not cultivate, but because of Murong An, she did some homework and knew a thing of two about spirit beasts.

This world has these spirit beasts and they ranked accordingly: Low rank, Saint Rank and Divine Rank.

Low Ranked spirit beasts had a bit of intelligence and could understand some human words and respond to simple commands, however a Divine Ranked spirit beast was very intelligent and completely mastered the human language and converse proficiently.

Spirit Masters could establish a contract with spirit beasts through sharing a spirit link. However because spirit beasts are caught from the wild, if they have not been tamed, their wild and frenzied spirit energy will try to take over the link and this might make the cultivator incur a backlash instead.

Beast Tamers had the ability to temporarily stabilize and curb the innate wild and frenzied spiritual energy of these spirit beasts and calm them down. This would make the spirit beasts docile before establishing any contracts and reduce any risks of backlash. This was the main reason why Beast Tamers were very highly sought after. After establishing a contract with the Spirit Master, the spirit beast will regain back its ferociousness, however due to the contract, they are not able to hurt their contracting Spirit Master.

After strolling around the streets aimlessly for a period, Sima You Yue decided to head back. As she was still thinking about the matters of a Beast tamer, she did not pay attention to her surroundings and carelessly ran into a person head on as she turned into a small alley.

"Who the hell has no eyes?! Asking for death?!" Exclaimed a man who was clutching his head, fuming away. When his eyes laid to rest on Sima You Yue, his lips curled up into a taunting smile: "So it's our infamous trash! How are you still alive? It seems that my punches were too light that time!"

Sima You Yue was still dazed from the sudden collision but when she looked up after hearing the other person's words, she narrowed her eyes.

This person was none other than one of the lackeys that had a hand in beating her up that day! Since she had promised revenge for the previous Sima You Yue, now, let's just start with this person in front!
