CHAPTER 836: CHAPTER 836: TAO-CHAN

"Unforgivable. They can not just starve someone." Bai Xifeng got angry on the beast’s behalf.

Taotie was surprised. It was the first time someone got mad on his behalf.

"No wonder I like you. You are different from others." Taotie said.

"Your stomach has never been full, no matter how much anyone feeds you. That is why they give up feeding you." Baishe commented.

"That’s right." Heishe nodded.

Taotie glared at Baishe and Heishe.

"What? Do you want to fight? Come on." Heishe felt provoked by Taotie’s glare.

"Stop! Don’t fight here. No one knows what will happen if you fight here." Bai Xifeng stopped the fight that had not yet occurred.

"I will listen to you, Xifeng," Taotie said.

"Great, Tao-chan." Bai Xifeng smiled.

"Tao-chan?" Taotie said.

"It’s cute, right. Tao is taken from Taotie. Chan conveys a sense of cuteness, endearment, and familiarity, and is also used for pets or anything considered adorable. So, you are Tao-chan." Bai Xifeng said.

Taotie looked at Baishe and Heishe. "What are their names?"

"Baishe and Heishe." Bai Xifeng answered.

"Just give up and accept the name," Baishe said.

"Your name still makes sense," Heishe said.

"What do you mean by that?" Taotie asked.

"Gryffindor, Pegasus, Jiro, Saburo, Ichiro..." Heishe mentioned the names.

"What is that?" Taotie asked.

"That is the name that she gave to her contracted beast. You should be grateful that your name is not that bad." Heishe whispered to Taotie.

"Oh..." Taotie nodded.

"I think the rain outside has probably already stopped. So, I am going to leave this cave. You should return to the Mirror World." Bai Xifeng said.

"I want to stay by your side," Taotie said.

"But..." Bai Xifeng wanted to say something.

"I promise that I will behave," Taotie said.

Taotie acted coquettishly toward Bai Xifeng. Seeing this, Bai Xifeng smiled.

"Fine... Fine... You need to listen to me when we are out. And don’t ever speak in front of people. If you want to talk to me, just telepathy." Bai Xifeng reminded Taotie.

"Okay." Taotie nodded.

Bai Xifeng walked out of the cave with Taotie on her shoulder.

’Xifeng, what are you going to do?’ Taotie asked.

’Well, I am going to hunt other beasts to get the core inside their body. Oh... I am currently in the test. I need to collect as much as I can to pass the test.’ Bai Xifeng explained.

’What kind of test?’ Taotie asked.

’The test to determine whether I can be a student at Tianlong School.’ Bai Xifeng said.

’Oh...’ Taotie nodded.

Taotie looked around. ’Xifeng, I think some people are observing you right now.’

’What? Which direction?’ Bai Xifeng became alert to her surroundings.

’From above.’ Taotie stated.

Bai Xifeng looked up, thinking the people were hiding in the tree. Taotie noticed that Bai Xifeng misunderstood his words.

’Not the trees. But the sky.’ Taotie corrected his words.

’What?’ Bai Xifeng was stunned.

Then, after a few moments, Bai Xifeng thought of something.

’That must be the invigilators for this test. Well, let them watch.’ Bai Xifeng said.

’I understand.’ Taotie nodded.

Bai Xifeng walked around to find the beast, but there was nothing. The night came. Bai Xifeng planned to cook again. She took out the deer meat. She wanted to make deer steak. It was quick to prepare.

’I want a lot.’ Taotie said.

’Okay.’ Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng marinated the deer meat with soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, cornstarch and egg white. She let the meat marinate for 20 minutes.

Then, she took out the vegetables like bell pepper, broccoli and snow peas. She cleaned them and cut them into edible sizes. She began to stir-fry the vegetables with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and sugar. She also mixes the cornstarch with water to thicken the texture.

After finishing the stir fry, it was time to cook the deer meat. She heated up the pan. She put the deer meat. She was really careful not to overcook the deer meat.

’Is it done already?’ Taotie asked while drooling.

’I will cook 10 for you.’ Bai Xifeng said.

So, when one of them was ready, she gave it to Taotie right away. She urged him to eat while it was hot. Taotie did not wait. He ate it. It was so delicious. Really... It was a great decision to follow this girl. Her cooking was amazing. Bai Xifeng cooked more for Taotie.

After that, she cooked the steak for herself. She ate four steaks. The deer meat was indeed delicious. She would try to cook other recipes next time.

Bai Xifeng wanted to rest when she noticed the movement.

’Those are black hyenas. Do you want me to kill them?’ Taotie asked.

’Nope, I will handle them myself.’ Bai Xifeng said.

’Well, if you say so.’ Taotie said.

He jumped up to the tree, leaving Bai Xifeng facing the black hyenas. Bai Xifeng took out the dagger and got ready to attack. The black hyenas began to attack Bai Xifeng.

Even though the black hyenas were small, they were very fast. Bai Xifeng ended up taking out a sword to deal with the black hyenas. She dealt with the black hyenas for about two hours. She could conclude that the black hyenas were very difficult to deal with compared to the Earth Lizard because of the black hyenas’ speed.

After killing them, Bai Xifeng began to collect the cores from the black hyenas.
