Lin Chuan found that even what a quasi-Heavenly King powerhouse said wasn't necessarily right.
Professor Qu Cheng said that if he successfully contracted a Tian Yu Dragon, he could just ride the Tian Yu Dragon back.
However, the reality was different.
He successfully contracted it, but he couldn't ride White Snow back.
Because for carrying people in flight, not only does the Beast Master need a certain level of riding skill, but the Spirit Beast serving as a flying mount also needs specialized training.
Otherwise, even if the Spirit Beast is equipped with specialized flying gear, it's extremely easy to cause harm to the Beast Master on its back; in case of an accident, falling directly from a high altitude is possible.
As for White Snow, it had never undergone any training related to carrying people in flight.
It simply didn't know how fast it should control its flight speed or what its flying posture should be when a Beast Master was riding on its back.
At the same time, Lin Chuan's flying riding skills were not just average, but rather terrible.
Forget comparing him to Li Zeyu, who loved flying from a young age and could win championships in professional flying competitions; even compared to other first-year students, Lin Chuan's flying riding skills were at the very bottom of his entire year.
Given this, how had Lin Chuan not had any flying accidents until now?
That was entirely thanks to the drivers' professionalism!
In Qinghe City, he relied on the Blue Feather Eagle, and upon arriving at the Sixth Academy, he relied on the servant Spirit Beasts, the Tian Yu Birds.
Both the Blue Feather Eagle and the Tian Yu Birds were professionally trained drivers.
Especially the Tian Yu Birds of the Sixth Academy, they even mastered the Wind Feather Shield, which could block wind and help passengers stabilize their bodies, and their proficiency had to be at least skilled level; only then were they allowed to work as flying drivers by the Sixth Academy's Servant Spirit Beast Management Department.
So, Lin Chuan's flying riding skills were terrible, and White Snow had never carried anyone before.
If he didn't want a dragon-falling accident to happen, it was better not to ride White Snow for now.
Lin Chuan recalled White Snow and Wan Wan into his Beast Space.
He found an old Tian Yu Bird driver from the neighboring Tian Yu Bird flock and returned to the manor.
Guoguo and Sakura were already eagerly awaiting him.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan return, they immediately came to greet him.
Although not as fully intelligent as Wan Wan, Guoguo and Sakura's intelligence should not be underestimated, especially Sakura; due to her personality, the more stable and thoughtful Sakura, in some not-too-complex intellectual matters, showed wisdom not much worse than Wan Wan's.
Knowing what Lin Chuan went out to do today, Guoguo and Sakura stared at Lin Chuan with eager anticipation, wanting him to quickly release their new companion.
The more one faces difficulties, the calmer and more composed one must be.
The difficulty of nurturing White Snow was clearly much higher than that of Guoguo, Sakura, and the highly self-sufficient Wan Wan; it required him, as the Beast Master, to put in more effort.
On the way back, Lin Chuan was already thinking.
How should he nurture White Snow, and more importantly, how should he educate and guide it so that it doesn't become a yandere Spirit Beast with explosive possessiveness and jealousy, causing unrest among the Spirit Beasts in the team? How can he cultivate it into a firm team defender who loves the collective, views the Beast Master and all Spirit Beasts, including itself, as a whole, without distinction?
For now, with no particularly good ideas, Lin Chuan decided to let the few Spirit Beasts interact first.
Wan Wan, needless to say, with her full intelligence, even if she didn't do well, she wouldn't make any major mistakes.
Guoguo and Sakura, aside from their fated rivalry against each other, were very easygoing and tolerant towards other Spirit Beasts; this was the nature of the Flower Leaf Leaf lineage.
Based on the reactions of the Spirit Beasts during their interaction, he, as the Beast Master, would then intervene and guide them as appropriate.
Lin Chuan released White Snow.
Guoguo and Sakura immediately cried out in surprise, making sounds like “Yi ya ya ya” and “Ying ying ying.”
So handsome, so beautiful, so white, and so big!
Although still a young dragon, it was still 3 meters long, which was enormous compared to Guoguo, who was only 1.3 meters, and Sakura, who was only half a meter tall.
Guoguo's pair of emerald green eyes sparkled.
A handsome and beautiful sub-dragon Spirit Beast, isn't this the best little follower for me, Guo Di!
Hmph!
Watch Guo Di conquer this little White Dragon sister.
Guoguo immediately pulled out the red envelope she had prepared earlier, a large and thick one containing at least 100,000 star rock coins, intending to use it as a welcoming gift to win over the heart of the new White Dragon sister.
At that time.
Guo Di would stand on the White Dragon sister's head, looking down with indifferent eyes at Sakura.
And say, 'You've finally arrived, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you want to challenge me, you must first pass my mount.'
Then, the White Dragon sister would swat Sakura away with a dragon claw.
The scene made Guoguo so excited just thinking about it.
Must acquire!!
The White Dragon sister belongs to Guoguo!
It's a severe human-lover, an incurable Beast Master-lover; if not nurtured well, it will become a yandere with explosive possessiveness and jealousy, but for now, White Snow is not a yandere, and it does not reject other Spirit Beasts.
Its intelligence is still very low, only around that of a human three or four-year-old child.
Pure and innocent at heart, White Snow gazed at Guoguo and Sakura with its adorable large eyes, especially Guoguo, who was holding a large red envelope as if to give it to her.
From Guoguo and Sakura, White Snow smelled a sweet scent similar to Lin Chuan's.
Well, it should be said that the sweet scent on Lin Chuan was also acquired from Guoguo and Sakura; they were the source.
Not understanding what a red envelope was, White Snow slightly lowered its head to sniff but had no interest whatsoever.
White Snow only felt that Guoguo in front of it smelled very sweet.
So.
Slurp, White Snow immediately stuck out its tongue and licked Guoguo, causing Guoguo to instantly freeze.
Sakura, after all, was more nimble than Guoguo.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, she instantly took half a step back, dodging behind Guoguo.
Ying ying ying.
Sakura made an 'ying ying ying' sound, asking Lin Chuan a question.
Lin Chuan, through the contract, used mind-sensing to tell Sakura the detailed situation of White Snow.
A severe human-lover?
An incurable Beast Master-lover?
The new White Snow sister is so strange.
However, Miss Sakura has a plan!
Currently, Sakura has already leveled up to 19, just a bit shy of reaching Tier 2, and she believes she will reach it within a week.
Right now, Sakura's specific combat strength might be slightly lower than her previous Flower Spirit form.
After all, the Flower Spirit form previously had a General Tier Upper Level bloodline, and its energy quality was also overwhelmingly superior to now.
However, in terms of control and utilization of Illusion Attribute energy, Sakura is now almost on par with before; during this time, Sakura wasn't just leveling up, but also, with the Assistance of Lin Chuan and Wan Wan, she heavily developed various techniques for Illusion Attribute energy using the professional knowledge of the Sixth Academy.
And, besides the Sweet Dream Enchantment, a Combination Skill inherited from the fairy spirit flower.
Sakura was also, based on her Illusion Attribute talent and under Lin Chuan's guidance, researching and developing another Combination Skill, an Illusion Attribute exclusive Combination Skill.
Sakura hid behind Guoguo.
She secretly released a wisp of Rosemary Illusion Incense, and a pinkish-white Illusion Attribute energy mist quietly permeated the surrounding space, enveloping the area where White Snow was located.
At the same time, Sakura softly hummed, “Ying ying ying,” creating the Bewitching Sound.
Finally, Sakura used her pair of pale pink eyes to meet White Snow's pure and flawless azure large eyes, activating Illusion Eye!
Three illusion skills stacked!
This was the Combination Skill Sakura had been researching and developing recently, composed of Rosemary Illusion Incense, Bewitching Sound, and Illusion Eye, three Illusion Attribute skills.
The Combination Skill was named 'Illusion Dream Realm'.
Of course, it was currently only a prototype and far from fully developed; it had little practical value in combat. At least in daily sparring battles with Guoguo, she hadn't had time to use this Combination Skill before being interrupted by a casual Mini Bomb Fruit from Guoguo.
However, in daily life, as long as she was given enough casting time and the target's level wasn't high, the effect was still very good.
For example, White Snow, it had fallen for it at this moment.
Currently, White Snow was only level 5, and furthermore, it had no subjective will to resist, so it couldn't block it at all; it didn't even realize it had fallen under Sakura's illusion.
In White Snow's eyes.
The Guoguo in front of it, which was 30% anthropomorphic and clearly a Spirit Beast at first glance, gradually became more anthropomorphic, eventually transforming into a vibrant and lively human little girl wearing a green dress, with long green hair, two white flower hair clips, and walking barefoot.
A human little girl!!
White Snow's eyes immediately widened. So cute, want to suck!!
Before White Snow could lick it, an even smaller little girl, well, she should be called a human baby, walked out from behind this human little girl. She was wearing a pink and white princess dress, with a pink flower hair clip, also walking barefoot, wiggling her feet, an incredibly adorable human baby.
In White Snow's illusion, Sakura lifted the frills of her pink and white princess dress, curtsied slightly, and bowed to it.
"Hello, White Snow, I am Sakura."
"I am the Master's Spirit Beast, Flower Leaf Leaf, but I should evolve into Flower Spirit very soon."
"Welcome to the Master's team, this family."
"Let us get along well."
"Only if we get along well will the Master be happy."
Sakura extended her hand to White Snow, a soft, pink little hand.
White Snow's intelligence didn't allow it to understand what was happening in front of it, but that didn't stop it from liking it. A human baby, the Beast Master's Spirit Beast, super cute, must get along well with it!
White Snow let out happy whimpering sounds.
As for Guoguo, it wanted to lick it, lick it hard.
But for Sakura, such an obviously smaller and more delicate cutie, White Snow was afraid of licking Sakura too hard, so it didn't dare to act rashly.
White Snow extended its dragon claw, carefully touching Sakura's small hand with its fingertip.
In reality, from Lin Chuan and Wan Wan's perspective.
They saw White Snow carefully extend its dragon claw, and its fingertip touched Sakura's chubby little hand.
Immediately, White Snow whimpered and Sakura made 'ying ying ying' sounds, communicating very happily.
White Snow clasped its two dragon claws together, and Sakura jumped onto them, landing in White Snow's dragon palm.
White Snow carefully placed Sakura on top of its head.
Sakura looked down at Guoguo from above.
Ying ying ying.
(Guo-mei, this time, older sister won again. Hehe~)
Guoguo was suffocated; the spirited little sister was no longer spirited.
But Guoguo still forced herself to maintain her composure, waving her hand nonchalantly.
Yi ya ya.
It's merely some trials on the path to becoming an Emperor.
I, Guo Di, don't need anyone's help; I will ultimately be invincible under heaven.
Guoguo turned sideways, forcefully trying to save face.
The next moment.
Guoguo felt her cheek being fiercely licked by a soft, squishy large tongue.
White Snow picked up Guoguo and held her in its arms.
Just like that, White Snow, with Sakura on its head and Guoguo in its arms, was incredibly happy.
Watching this scene, Lin Chuan was momentarily speechless.
It seemed he, the Beast Master, wasn't needed at all?
He hadn't expected Sakura to have such a clever trick.
