Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Mysterious Seed

"Hmm, such a cat that so closely resembles the ones from ancient times is really rare."

He appraised it as he commented.

Since the mutation, ninety-nine percent of animals have undergone mutations.

Cats like this one that seem unchanged are truly rare.

The White Tiger emerged from the Secret Realm and, seeing a different environment and strangers, didn’t show any aggressive expression. Instead, it was filled with curiosity everywhere.

As Jiang Wenfu appraised it, it too blinked its big eyes, sizing him up in return.

Jiang Wenfu nodded, "This Demon Beast is quite intelligent, just a bit weak. I can hardly feel its power, it might be of the intelligent type of Demon Beast. How did you come across it?"

"I was just soaking in the Blood Spring when it came out on its own."

Xiao Zhan replied.

However, he felt a bit surprised in his heart; the White Tiger’s disguise was quite effective—it had even fooled Jiang Wenfu.

"Probably took a liking to you," Jiang Wenfu said with a smile. "But such a low-level Demon Beast isn’t much use other than as a pet, which is nice."

It had been a long time since Jiang Wenfu saw such a Demon Beast.

He stretched out his finger to tease it.

Seeing the finger, the White Tiger immediately became interested; its foodie attribute burst forth and it opened its large mouth for a bite.

Xiao Zhan’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly hugged the tiger to prevent it from biting Jiang Wenfu.

Jiang Wenfu glanced at Xiao Zhan and withdrew his hand, "Look how stingy you are, as if it could eat me or something."

"It’s because I’m afraid it might have rabies, and it wouldn’t be good if it bit you."

Xiao Zhan wasn’t sure of Jiang Wenfu’s strength, but at such a close distance, if the White Tiger really wanted to attack, Jiang Wenfu probably wouldn’t be able to react fast enough.

Moreover,

Jiang Wenfu’s wife wasn’t here either.

"What era is it now, still afraid of rabies," Jiang Wenfu thought of Xiao Zhan as being petty.

Then he said with a full-faced smile, "You’re somewhat considerate this time, not messing with my Spirit Fruits too much. Of course, I also know it’s because those Spirit Fruits inside weren’t of much use to you."

"Here’s a gift I’ve prepared for you, let’s call it compensation for this time."

Jiang Wenfu said as he took out a brocade box.

Another gift?

Xiao Zhan was a bit surprised. His luck was really extraordinary.

He had already received gifts from the two deputy deans, and now the dean was giving him one too. He remembered there was another deputy dean named Wang Qian; perhaps he had also prepared a gift for him.

How nice.

"Dean, you are too polite, even preparing a gift for me."

Xiao Zhan said politely, but his hands were not polite at all.

No matter what the gift was, he would accept it first.

After all, this was a gift of misunderstanding. If Jiang Wenfu knew he had cleared out all the Spirit Fruits inside, he would surely regret it and want to take it back.

"Aren’t you going to open it and see? What if you don’t like it?" Jiang Wenfu said.

"No need, anything from the Dean, I like."

A gift of misunderstanding, where’s the room to be picky? It’s good enough to have anything at all.

"Still, open it and have a look," Jiang Wenfu stroked his mustache.

So serious?

Xiao Zhan then opened the brocade box and expected to find Spirit Fruits or Refining Materials or something similar inside. To his surprise, he found a shriveled... soybean?

"This... is a gift?"

Xiao Zhan looked puzzled at Jiang Wenfu.

Jiang Wenfu’s face was a bit embarrassed. He pretended to cough and said, "This isn’t a soybean, it’s a seed."

"A seed? What kind of seed?"

"I don’t know either."

"Not sure what you’re giving me?"

Xiao Zhan suddenly startled as he said this.

Because he remembered when Zhu Rong gave him the Dark Fire Heavenly Origin, Zhao Jiwu mentioned that he gave away something he had no use for.

So, this is a junk collection center, huh?

Only giving me the stuff you don’t want?

In other words, it was actually Zhao Jiwu who truly gave something away generously, a Crystal Jade Skin Pill that was painful even for him to part with.

Jiang Wenfu smiled awkwardly. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to hand over such an item, but he really didn’t have anything better to offer.

It’s not that he couldn’t offer anything better, it’s just that there were very few things that would be of use to Xiao Zhan.

He continued, "Don’t look down on this as just a seed, but it’s filled with endless possibilities! I obtained it from a destroyed Secret Realm back in my days after nearly losing my life, but after so many years, I still haven’t figured it out, so I’m passing it on to someone fated to have it."

"Nice pie!"

Xiao Zhan gave Jiang Wenfu 10086 thumbs up.

Exchanging a useless seed for a big favor from me.

Indeed, only someone of a dean’s caliber could have such articulate lip service.

Jiang Wenfu’s old face was seriously awkward, Xiao Zhan’s words couldn’t have been less polite.

How could what the leader says be called ’drawing a pie in the sky’?

This is showing you the way to a brighter future.

Young man, don’t just look at the immediate benefits, you need to endure some hardship. If you haven’t advanced in several years, you shouldn’t blame the leaders, you should reflect on whether you’ve been working hard in these years or not.

"Anyway, you take a good look at it. Based on my many years of experience, this seed is something extraordinary."

"If you can figure it out, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!"

Xiao Zhan frowned, "Dean, I’ve had my fill of pie already, if you feed me anymore, I’ll burst."

"Uh..."

Hearing what Xiao Zhan said, Jiang Wenfu was truly embarrassed.

This was the first time he’d encountered someone who was so dismissive.

Forget it, forget it.

Indeed, this thing was too illusory.

Xiao Zhan packed up the stuff and then bid farewell to Jiang Wenfu.

Back at the dorm, after washing up, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong packed their belongings.

Because tomorrow, they were going back to Northern City.

They arrived in good spirits, never expecting to be returning after just one year.

After packing, they got ready to rest.

But looking at the White Tiger curling up on the bed, all lazy and comfortably enjoying itself, Xiao Zhan felt a bit of a headache.

During the day it was fine, as he was always on guard.

But sleeping at night, what if it suddenly went crazy and ate him?

Though the likelihood of this happening was very low at the moment.

But just to be cautious.

Thinking it over, Xiao Zhan opened another room nearby, asked it to go live in there, so it would be safer.

But the White Tiger seemed to fear that Xiao Zhan would run away, stubbornly refusing to leave and just stayed sprawled on the bed.

Xiao Zhan tried all sorts of persuasion, but it wouldn’t budge an inch.

He was truly at a loss for words, this creature could be smart when it wanted to be and dumb when it suited it. He seriously doubted if it was doing this on purpose.

He looked at Ye Youlong, "What should we do, have you had any similar experiences?"

Girls tend to have more pets.

Ye Youlong shook her head, "No, I’ve never raised a Demon Beast."

"Then do you think it will attack us at night?"

"It probably won’t, this Demon Beast seems to have intelligence. If it wanted to harm us, it would’ve done so by now, and there were many chances for it to succeed. It must be only after the Spirit Fruit."
