Chapter 164 Three Little Auspicious Beasts Were Gained
Jiang Ping stood up and said to the three little girls and Lei Jingyun.
“Come, let’s go back!” On the way back, the three little girls had been staring curiously at the three little Dangkangs.
The three auspicious beasts were not afraid. Instead, they would run around the little girls from time to time and play with them. Lei Jingyun said to Jiang Ping with a big smile on his face.
“Congratulations, Master. You’ve gained three Dangkang.” “When these three Dangkang grow up, their combat strength will be even higher than that of earth immortal realm cultivators.”
Jiang Ping said indifferently.
“I didn’t bring them with me so that they could fight for me.”
“From now on, these three auspicious beasts are our family. Just like you and Qiu Chi, both of you are our family.”
Lei Jingyun stopped in his tracks when he heard the last sentence.
Even if he became an outer sect elder in the Chuanyun Sect, the sect master would not regard him as family.
Lei Jingyun had always treated himself as a servant in the Jiang Mansion. Now that he heard the word “family”, he was about to burst into tears.
Jiang Ping knew what Lei Jingyun was thinking at this moment, so he said without turning his head.
“Old Lei, don’t think too lowly of yourself. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Wan’er.”
When Wan’er’s name was suddenly mentioned, she asked somewhat blankly.
“Ah! Ask what?”
Jiang Ping said with a chuckle.
“I’m asking if Old Uncle Lei is considered a family member in your heart!” Wan’er said loudly. “Of course, he is. There’s also Auntie Sushang and Uncle Qiu. Aren’t they all our family!”
Yan’er and Liu’er, who were beside, quickly agreed.
Lei Jingyun was overjoyed. He thought of something and struck while the iron was hot.
“Then Wan’er, can you stop hitting my head in the future?”
Wan’er answered seriously.
“I can be gentler.”
Lei Jingyun almost stumbled after hearing that.
Jiang Ping patted Lei Jingyun’s shoulder and laughed loudly.
After returning to the resting point, Li Sushang and Qiu Chi saw that a few of them had returned with three wild boars.
Qiu Chi then asked.
“Eh, what’s with these three ugly wild boars?”
Jiang Ping hurriedly stopped him from continuing “You have to be careful with your words. These three little things can understand human language.”
Qiu Chi lowered his head and looked at the three auspicious beasts in disbelief.
He only saw that the three Dangkangs were staring at him fiercely.
That gaze seemed to have a deep blood feud with him.
Liu’er saw this and hurriedly scared Qiu Chi. “Quick, quickly apologize. Otherwise, they will eat you later.”
Although Qiu Chi was skeptical, he still admitted defeat. He squatted down, clasped his hands together, and faced the three little things.
He apologized respectfully. Liu’er and the two little girls covered their mouths and laughed.
After the carriage was set up, they all got into the carriage.
Qiu Chi shook the reins, and the carriage continued to move forward.
In the carriage, the three little girls and the three little fellows were playing together.
They were having a lot of fun.
Suddenly Wan’er spoke.
“Daddy, can I keep one? I like them very much.”
Jiang Ping raised his chin and beckoned at the three little fellows.
“You have to ask them. It’s not up to me.”
Wan’er lowered her head and asked seriously.
“Do any of you like me too?”
The three little Dangkangs surrounded one another and squeaked.
Then, one of them was pushed out by the other two.
The auspicious beast that was pushed out slowly walked towards Wan’er.
When it reached Wan’er’s feet, it stretched out its head and caressed Wan’er’s instep.
Wan’er happily carried him up.
“Good! From now on, you’ll follow me!”
When Yan’er and Liu’er saw this, they wanted to have one as well.
They looked at Jiang Ping, and he pointed at the remaining two.
Then, she imitated Wan’er and asked the two of them.
“Are there any of you willing to follow me?”
Then, the other beasts each chose a little girl.
They walked over and rubbed against the instep of their feet, just like Wan’er’s.
Jiang Ping saw that his three daughters were all holding an auspicious beast in their arms, and he said to them solemnly.
“You have to think carefully. This is not as simple as raising pets. You have to treat them like family.”
The three little girls nodded seriously at Jiang
Ping.
Then, Lei Jingyun said to everyone.
“Since they are family, they should have a name. Ladies, why don’t you try to give them a name?”
Yan’er was the first to raise her hand.
“I’ll go first, I’ll go first!”
“Since you were born in the mountain forest, I’ll give you the name ‘Mountain Stream’!”
Yan’er raised the auspicious beast in her hand and said to it.
The auspicious beast seemed to be very satisfied with its name and made a gurgling sound.
Lei Jingyun gave it a thumbs up.
“This name sounds nice and has a meaning.”
Then, he looked at Wan’er and Liu’er.
Liu’er was the second to raise her hand and looked at the auspicious beast in her hand. She quickly thought of something and said.
“Looking at the gray fur all over its body, I think it should be called ‘Little Gray’.”
Then, she turned her head to look at the crowd and asked.
“How is it?”
Lei Jingyun gave a far-fetched compliment.
“This is also a good name. It sounds… playful!”
Jiang Ping didn’t say anything and thought to himself.
Old Lei was great at praising. He could even use words like “playful”.
The name Little Gray was just like how he named his yellow dog, Little Yellow in his previous life…
Liu’er was very satisfied with the name she gave Little Gray.
She raised Little Gray high and giggled.
After that, everyone looked at Wan’er.
Wan’er was blushing.
She wasn’t as literate as Yan’er, nor was she as eccentric as Liu’er. Just thinking of a name was enough to hold her back for a long time.
At this moment, she really regretted that she did not study properly in school.
Jiang Ping saw that Wan’er could not think of anything for a while, so he helped her out.
“It’s alright. There’s still a long way to go. Let’s think about it slowly.”
At this moment, Wan’er seemed to have settled down and said.
“It’s called ‘Bamboo’.”
“I named it ‘Bamboo’.”
After Jiang Ping and Lei Jingyun heard it, they were both very curious as to why she chose such an unrelated name.
However, Wan’er only replied.
“I think the name sounds great.”
Actually, it was because the little girl had just regretted not studying seriously in school, and she recalled how she had met the young Taoist priest, He Xiangjiang in the academy.
The little girl had a deep impression of the young Taoist priest’s strange behavior of staring at the bamboo that day.
That was why she had blurted out the word “Bamboo”.
The auspicious beast in Wan’er’s hand happily rubbed against Wan’er’s palm.
Jiang Ping saw that Wan’er and Bamboo liked this name very much, so he didn’t ask any further.
At this moment, Li Sushang spoke from the side.
She asked Jiang Ping.
“Is there any way that these three auspicious beasts can follow the three little girls without being seen by others?”
“Otherwise, if we bring these three auspicious beasts out on the streets, I’m afraid that if someone sees them, it will be troublesome.”
The three little auspicious beasts understood Li Sushang’s words. When they heard that they would bring trouble to the three little girls, they all lowered their heads…
