"Neigh neigh~!"
"Cough cough cough!"
Hearing Chang Kong's voice, Ke Minglu immediately put everything into the storage pouch, and then a scroll appeared in his hand. He looked especially serious.
Wen Yan looked at her right hand that had been stuffed with a scroll, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.
Her hand had originally been holding a cup of tea.
But now, before she even drank the tea, it was snatched away.
Wen Yan looked at her husband, who looked completely nonchalant, her head full of black lines.
The "struggle" between her husband and Chang Kong was getting more and more intense.
Ke Minglu looked innocent, "What's wrong? Keep reading! Studying more is a good thing."
Wen Yan: "..."
She really wanted to smash the scroll in her hand at him.
"Neigh neigh~"
Chang Kong called outside, and it sounded very happy.
Ke Minglu was surprised instead, "How come it didn't come in?"
According to the previous situation, Chang Kong would suddenly barge in, and then snatch his tea to drink.
After several times, he had already learned his lesson.
As soon as he heard Chang Kong's voice, he would immediately throw the tea into the storage pouch.
That movement was crisp and neat, absolutely not dragging its feet, even more practiced than when he made a move!
But today, how come Chang Kong didn't come in?
Then, they soon heard their eldest son's voice.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Ah Zhen is back!"
The two of them immediately became happy, quickly got up and went out.
Opening the door, they saw Ke Chongzhen, "Ah Zhen, you came back so quickly?"
"Why didn't you say something in advance?"
"There happened to be something, so I came back."
"What thing?"
"Did the contract run into problems?"
The two of them were both a bit nervous.
Ke Chongzhen went to Wanxuan Sect for contracting his spirit beast, and now that he suddenly came back, could something have happened?
"No." Ke Chongzhen shook his head. "The contract was already successfully formed very smoothly."
He happily released his contracted beast, "Ta Xue and I have already contracted successfully!"
"Yoyo~"
As soon as Ta Xue came out and saw this group of not-too-unfamiliar people and beasts, it called out to them at once.
"Ah! Ta Xue grew a lot!"
Before contracting, Ta Xue's size was still very small.
But now, its size has visibly grown a lot.
If it was following its own growth, it wouldn't be this fast.
This effect only happens after contracting!
Even Chang Kong couldn't help calling out once, curiously looking at Ta Xue, which was much shorter than itself.
"Yes." Ke Chongzhen was very happy. "After we contracted successfully, Ta Xue's growth became much faster."
This was the effect only a soul contract had!
If it was another contract, the effect wouldn't be this good.
"That's great!" The couple were both very happy.
"Yes, Master Mu is really formidable. With her help, we contracted successfully very quickly!" Ke Chongzhen couldn't hide his excitement, no longer as steady as before. "Previously, I even thought it would take several days to successfully form the contract, but with Master Mu, it didn't even take half a day!"
"So fast?!"
The two were immediately greatly shocked.
They had previously received the message Ke Chongzhen sent back, but it only said the contract succeeded and didn't mention details.
Now hearing these details, they couldn't help being surprised.
This gap was too big!
"Didn't Myriad Beasts Sect say it would take at least three to four days to successfully form the contract? Isn't this difference too big?" Wen Yan's expression wasn't very good. "Myriad Beasts Sect is fooling us?"
"Not necessarily." Ke Minglu instead shook his head. "Maybe their strength really is just that?"
Wen Yan couldn't help falling silent, this also sounded like it made sense!
After all, can an ordinary Spirit Severing Stage cultivator be compared with a Soul Transformation ancestor?
Ke Chongzhen pulled the topic back, "Since the contract succeeded, we don't need to pay Myriad Beasts Sect any mind anymore. I came back this time because there's something I need to do."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Senior Mu's disciple wants to participate in this time's Artifact Refiner Competition. I came back to help them register."
Ke Chongzhen originally wanted his parents to help register, but since he came back, it saved this step. It would be better for him to personally go register.
He feared those people would be negligent and treat Wanxuan Sect disciples lightly, then that wouldn't be good.
"Sect Master Mu's disciple wants to come participate in the Artifact Refiner Competition?"
Wen Yan immediately perked up, "Then they can definitely get a good ranking!"
Although she only stayed in Wanxuan Sect for a short while, she had full confidence in Wanxuan Sect.
Besides, could students taught by a Soul Transformation old ancestor be ordinary in strength?
"Then did you invite them to come stay at our place?" Ke Minglu asked.
"Of course." Ke Chongzhen nodded. "I already told them. They will come over in half a month."
"That's good." Ke Minglu nodded. "We absolutely can't be discourteous!"
"Yes." Ke Chongzhen nodded. "This time at Wanxuan Sect I received extremely good hospitality, and when I came back, Senior Mu even stuffed me with quite a lot of things!"
Saying this, he suddenly smiled slightly, and a wine bottle appeared in his hand.
"Guess what this is?"
Wen Yan looked at her son, who was acting different from usual, and was very curious.
Their eldest son was much more mature than their younger son. They had never heard him say things like "Guess who I am" or "Guess what this is."
Him acting this excited today was really rare.
"Yoyo!"
When Ta Xue saw this bottle, it was already excitedly leaning over, opening its mouth wanting to reach for this bottle.
This was the delicious wine!
Ke Chongzhen pushed Ta Xue's head away and scolded with a smile, "This isn't prepared for you. It's what Senior Mu gave to my dad and mom."
In Wanxuan Sect, Ta Xue also followed along and drank a few times of monkey wine.
Because the first time almost everyone got drunk, Mu Shiyue reduced the amount afterward.
Everyone's portion was cut in half.
Of course everyone was unhappy, how could something so good be cut in half?
But no matter how unhappy they were, it's useless. After all, the wine was in Mu Shiyue's hands, whatever she said goes.
Still, after reducing the amount, although everyone was still drifting blissfully, they didn't get drunk and collapse again, and the cubs also didn't act crazy.
Ta Xue followed along drinking a few times too, and liked this flavor and feeling.
Not only Ta Xue, Ke Chongzhen also liked it.
—Who wouldn't like it?
But this bottle of monkey wine was a gift Mu Shiyue had Ke Chongzhen bring back.
Mu Shiyue said her disciples would later come to Changtian Sect to intrude for a period of time. As their master, proper etiquette must be observed.
So, she filled a bottle of monkey wine for Ke Chongzhen to bring back to the Ke couple.
"What is this?"
Ta Xue's reaction made the couple even more curious.
And they had already tasted quite a few good things from Wanxuan Sect, this was definitely also a good thing.
Ke Chongzhen looked at them with a grin, "Guess?"
Seeing her son so interested, the two also followed and guessed.
"Tea?"
"No."
"Then it's wine!"
"What wine?"
"Thousand-Spirit Brew?"
"Even better than Thousand-Spirit Brew."
"Could it be monkey wine?"
"Correct!"
"There's no wine better than monkey wine—what?! Monkey wine?!"
The couple sucked in a sharp breath, their faces changing in alarm.
