According to the legend, the founder of Palace of Mystical Beasts was an emperor beast tamer, which was why their sect took the name of Palace of Mystical Beasts.
Cheng Xiao Xiao had not expected anyone from Palace of Mystical Beasts would show up here, let alone inviting her to meet up with them via a letter. She was quite surprised by it all.
The scholar beauty seemed to have already gotten used to Cheng Xiao Xiao's reactions. Smiling, she said, "Little sister Xiao Xiao, you are younger than me, and a master beast tamer. I am just two years older than you. You can refer to me as big sister Zixuan, my family name is Gong."
Gong Zixuan!
That's a pretty nice sound name. Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly took her advise and said, "Big sister Zixuan, did you come all the way here just to meet me?"
"Exactly, Jun'er and I were traversing jianghu when we heard about you inadvertently. Jun'er fussed about wanting to meet you and, of course, I was somewhat curious myself as well. I hope you didn't mind us coming unannounced!"
Zixuan smiled with one hand covering her mouth, but didn't sound unapologetic at all.
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn't too bothered by that, "Our meeting was meant to be. It was unfortunate that our house is simple and messy right now so I won't be able to invite you back. I hope big sister Zixuan don't mind that we well!"
"Okay, we don't need to be so polite. We have a pretty good idea what has been going on at your house!"
Zixuan removed the jade ornament that she has with her and handed it over to Cheng Xiao Xiao. Smiling, she said, "Little sister Xiao Xiao, I am gifting you this jade ornament. You can come visit me at Palace of Mystical Beasts in the future!"
"Thank you, big sister Zixuan!"
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not decline her gift. She didn't have any precious jewelries on her, so she produced a vine from little Yuteng and handed it over to her, "Big sister Zixuan, I am going to gift you this vine. No matter where you are, when you run into trouble, just take this out. It will be able to help you out!"
"Oh? What kind of vine is it? That powerful?" Gong Zixuan was a bit surprised. She took the lush green vine from Cheng Xiao Xiao. It looked like a vine but also like a whip. More importantly, it felt nice and smooth like a jade in her hand. It felt more like a whip made out of jade than a vine.
Cheng Xiao Xiao could tell that she really liked the gift, smiling she said, "Big sister Zixuan, try swinging it at that large tree over there!"
Zixuan turned and look and saw a large tree not too far from them. She nodded and said, "Okay!" She waved the vine at the tree like a flash of thunder.
BOOM!
A loud noise and the tree that would take two to hug was broken mid-length. The power of the vine startled both Gong Zixuan and her maid.
"Oh so powerful!!" shrieked the little book servant after she'd recovered from the initial shock.
Zixuan looked at the tree trunk that was blown apart and then at the vine in her hand. Smiling, she said to Cheng Xiao Xiao, "What an amazing gift from little sister Xiao Xiao. Big sister likes it a lot. Thank you so much!"
"I am glad big sister Zixuan is happy with her gift!"
As for the jade vine, as long as she has Yuteng with her, Cheng Xiao Xiao could have as many as she wanted. Of course, these were not items that she'd casually give away as gifts normally.
She wouldn't have given away a vine from little Yuteng had Gong Zixuan not given her a keepsake of Palace of Mystical Beasts – the jade ornament. Her principle has always been that if someone treats her nice, she will treat them even better.
After they have arranged for the next meeting, they parted ways in the little book servants longing look (longing look for the snow leopard).
After they have departed, Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the dimension with the snow leopard.
"Well, Yuteng, how many levels did we advance?"
