Protect Our Chief-Chapter 495 - 17: The Chosen Girl! Two Spirits Competing for Favor_2

But they’re all still quite young, with limited overall destructive power. Especially the Li Fire Sparrow, which only hatched a few years ago and is currently only at Tier Two peak.

Wang Liyao, watching on the side, wiped a cold sweat. She of course understood that the Li Fire Sparrow and the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle were fighting out of jealousy for her. She immediately held her forehead, helplessly saying, "Little sparrow, Little Turtle, can you two stop first? Let’s talk it out peacefully."

This Li Fire Sparrow was a prize she won during a raid on an Outer Domain Divine Martial Dynasty recruitment point. By now, all five final rewards had been scooped up by the Wang Family.

Wang Liyao spent quite an effort to successfully hatch the Li Fire Sparrow egg and signed a Master-Pet Contract with it according to the Artifact Spirit’s instructions.

Therefore, Little Sparrow’s tantrum was somewhat understandable. A turtle suddenly appeared to compete with her for her owner, is that bearable?

The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle lineage is known for their long lifespan, being Spirit Beasts that do not grow very fast. Even a Tier Two Spirit Turtle can easily live for hundreds of years, while a Tier Three one can often live for over a thousand years.

Such a long-lived Spirit Turtle, if it also cultivates to enhance its growth, how can other Spirit Seeds survive? This Miss Nine, the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, has already achieved Tier Three in just fifty years, making her one of the most talented in her lineage.

Yet even so, the Li Fire Sparrow wasn’t easy to bully. After some effort, the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle managed to push the Li Fire Sparrow down and rub her into the ground.

However, the Li Fire Sparrow was clearly not one to give in easily. She had waited in her egg for so many years, almost turning to stone before she finally met an owner who successfully hatched her.

In the days in the Wang Family, she lived a carefree life of good food and drink, how could she allow a turtle to come and undermine her position?

She seized an opportunity to flail and escape from the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle’s suppression, hiding behind Wang Liyao while poking out half of her bird head to continue chirping insults, "Just you, an ugly turtle, dare to snatch my owner? You should look in a puddle and see your reflection." (author’s translation)

"You insignificant big sparrow, dare to spew arrogance, if you have the skills, come out and let’s battle three hundred rounds, Miss Nine will show you why the flowers are so red." The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle grumbled belligerently. (author’s translation)

"Enough!" Wang Liyao really couldn’t tolerate it anymore. She grabbed the Li Fire Sparrow by the neck and shoved it back into the Spirit Beast Bag, suddenly her ears were much quieter.

Her face was a bit dark too, all because she pampered the Li Fire Sparrow too much, leading to it becoming so fat that it almost couldn’t fly anymore. Otherwise, even if it couldn’t beat the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, it could at least fly away.

If it goes on like this, when will she be able to ride it across the skies?

"Woo woo woo~" The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, Miss Nine, changed her attitude immediately when she saw her competitor being put away, affectionately clinging to Wang Liyao’s leg, acting coquettish and flattering.

How could those foolish humans not smell the intoxicating Primordial Water Spiritual Qi emanating from Big Sis? Just hugging Big Sis’s leg like this got the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle somewhat drunk, making her want to hold on like this for a lifetime.

Because Wang Liyao was carrying a High-Tier Concealing Treasure on her, she could hide it from most people, but not from the same Primordial Water Element "Miss Nine."

At this point.

Wang Liyao finally understood that this Primordial Water Spirit Turtle had sensed her Primordial Water Spirit Body and was persistently trying to acknowledge her as the master. However, she was somewhat hesitant.

Firstly, because she already had a Li Fire Sparrow, in the future when she gets into the Academy, she’d have to earn lots of resources herself to keep one Spirit Pet. Two would be even more challenging...

Secondly, those Senior Brothers and Sisters had already gone through great lengths to please the Primordial Water Spirit Turtle. She felt a bit guilty about snatching the opportunity cheaply. However, she could feel that this Primordial Water Spirit Turtle had exceptional bloodline talent, which if nurtured, could grow into a Tier Six Spirit Beast.

In terms of Bloodline Talent Level, it was competitive with the Li Fire Sparrow. That was why Wang Liyao was tempted but also indecisive.

Unexpectedly.

The Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, being extremely intelligent, seemed to sense Wang Liyao’s dilemma and immediately stretched its neck, opened its mouth, and spat out a crystal-clear Jade Ball.

This peculiar Jade Ball was a Storage Pearl personally refined by Miss Nine’s great-grandfather from natural space materials. Normally, it was stored within her stomach.

After a wave of spatial fluctuation.

All sorts of treasures fell out of the Jade Ball, including a pile of Water Element Spirit Stones, and over a dozen Water Element Spirit Crystals which were a hundred times more precious, along with various rare Spirit Fruits and treasures galore.

"Huh? Senior Brother Zhenghua, isn’t that your Ice Marrow Jade Pillar? Isn’t that the cultivation treasure you worked so hard to earn points for?" Senior Sister Yuyun exclaimed in disbelief, "Since when did you quietly donate it to Miss Nine?"

"This..." Senior Brother Zhenghua looked awkward, "Last time I was on a walk by the lake, I encountered Miss Nine... let’s not mention this, wasn’t that three-hundred-year-old Water Jade Lotus a treasure you kept close to you? How did it end up with Miss Nine too?"

Uh...

This time, Senior Sister Yuyun wore a slightly awkward expression, evasively saying, "I too was on a walk by the lake and encountered Miss Nine."

The two fell silent.

With things as they were, it was a silent understanding among them.

Everyone had secretly tried to win over Miss Nine when the other wasn’t looking, hoping to come out on top. Unfortunately, much to their heartache — it seems like their investments are about to be torn apart now!
