Chapter 271: Is Yu Xiangling the King of the Forest?

Yu Xian stayed in Lingjiu Palace; the first reason was naturally to take in the four maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, and the second was to fuse the Xiaoyao Sect’s Cultivation Technique.

However, what Yu Xian was considering now was whether to fuse the Xiaoyao Sect’s Internal Energy or their Palm Techniques.

He had already fused Internal Energy and Swordsmanship; he hadn’t fused any Palm Techniques, and he still had two opportunities left for Fusion.

He possessed many Palm Techniques, but he decided to fuse only three from the Xiaoyao Sect: Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Broken Plum Hand, and White Rainbow Palm Force.

Therefore, after Yu Xian settled into Lingjiu Palace, he returned to the Small World to begin fusing the Cultivation Technique.

Following the usual period of torment, the Fusion was finally successful. Yu Xian named it Xiaoyao Divine Palm. Since it was originally a Martial Art of the Xiaoyao Sect, the naming was predictably uninspired.

Xiaoyao Divine Palm—simple and easy to remember.

As soon as Yu Xian returned to the Small World, he went into seclusion. The experienced Women all gathered at the hot spring pool, and the inexperienced ones followed dumbly.

Li Mochou, finding it inconvenient, took the three children to play in the distant Forest. She didn’t want the children to witness the adults’ revelry.

Far away, even farther away.

Actually, she wanted Yu Xian to send her and the children out of the Small World, but Yu Xian’s seclusion was too sudden, so she could only take the children and run a bit further away. Fortunately, her belly wasn’t too big yet, so she could easily fly with the three children.

When she reached the Forest, she put the children down. Dumpling was very well-behaved and helped look after her younger siblings.

Yu Chenrong was quiet as usual; wherever his older brother and sister went, he followed, crawling along.

Yu Xiangling and Yu Chenrong could actually walk now, but they couldn’t manage more than a few steps; they mostly relied on crawling.

As soon as Li Mochou put the children down, the two little ones started crawling everywhere, mainly with Yu Chenrong following his sister.

Li Mochou just watched, letting them crawl as they pleased.

But soon, she was astonished to discover that Yu Xiangling hadn’t crawled far before little rabbits actively approached her. Then another one came. The two rabbits seemed unafraid of humans and were very close to Yu Xiangling.

They hopped in front of Yu Xiangling and rubbed their heads against her hand. Yu Xiangling sat down on the spot and casually stroked the little rabbits when they got close. The little rabbits seemed to enjoy it greatly.

The other rabbit ignored Yu Chenrong, who was crawling behind Yu Xiangling, and went to rub against Yu Xiangling too, seemingly asking for a hug.

Yu Xiangling’s small hands couldn’t hold both rabbits, so she opened her arms wide, letting the rabbits nestle into her embrace. The two rabbits truly snuggled into Yu Xiangling’s arms.

Yu Xiangling patted one, then the other, clearly having a wonderful time.

Yu Chenrong wanted to get closer; he wanted the rabbits too, but those two rabbits completely ignored him. He could only crawl around his sister, his eyes full of longing for the rabbits.

Before long, a deer entered the Forest, followed by small birds flying overhead, squirrels jumping down from the trees, and even a black bear appeared.

Li Mochou stared at the scene in astonishment. When the black bear first appeared, she was already prepared to act, but Dumpling held her back, stopping her from making a move.

Fortunately, all the animals, big and small, were gathered around Yu Xiangling, showing no intent to harm, and were extremely affectionate.

Is Yu Xiangling the King of the Forest? Otherwise, why would the animals in the Forest be so close to her? Yu Chenrong was even pushed away from Yu Xiangling by the animals and couldn’t squeeze in to get close.

Yu Xiangling was very happy, stroking this one and patting that one. It seemed like she could communicate with the animals, and they approached her in an orderly fashion.

Li Mochou desperately wanted to go back and call Yu Xian and the others to witness this scene—it was too magical!

‘Auntie, Sister is amazing! They all love Sister so much!’ Dumpling had also seen the scene and was filled with envy.

‘Dumpling, can you tell they like Sister?’ Li Mochou looked at Dumpling again in disbelief.

‘Yes, they all really like Sister, and Sister likes them very much too. Poor Brother, they don’t like Brother as much,’ Dumpling chuckled.

Ah, this… Li Mochou didn’t know what to say.

However, she remained constantly vigilant. After all, what if those animals hurt Yu Xiangling if she wasn’t paying attention?

‘Auntie, don’t be nervous. The little animals won’t hurt Sister; they like Sister,’ Dumpling advised when she saw Li Mochou watching the animals warily.

‘Really?’ Li Mochou wasn’t entirely convinced.

Dumpling nodded affirmatively.

Dumpling shouldn’t be lying to her, and Yu Xiangling was indeed playing happily with the animals right now, giggling continuously.

Li Mochou suspected that the animals here possessed some spiritual awareness; otherwise, why would they be so affectionate upon meeting Yu Xiangling for the first time?

Li Mochou then thought that this was Yu Xian’s world, and Yu Xiangling was the child he cherished most. Perhaps the animals here followed some wish of Yu Xian’s.

As time passed, Yu Xiangling attracted more and more animals. Then, those animals stopped ignoring Yu Chenrong and started playing with him too. Finally, even Dumpling joined in.

The three children played extremely happily with the animals, big and small. During this time, not a single animal harmed the children; they all behaved very friendly.

Li Mochou felt that this Forest would become the children’s paradise in the future.

She hadn’t brought Yu Xiangling and Yu Chenrong out before. She never expected that on their first outing, little Xianger would awaken her special ability! The ability to make animals friendly!

Fortunately, having been with Yu Xian for so long, Li Mochou had seen many miraculous things, so she quickly accepted this strange phenomenon with the children.

At this moment, Dumpling had already climbed onto the back of a small deer and was riding it.

Did the animals, who originally only wanted to be close to Yu Xiangling, now love her by association?

Most importantly, animals also came to approach her and gently touched her belly with their heads—they clearly knew there was another one inside!

Magical, so magical. She wanted to share this, but thinking about what might be happening at the hot spring right now, she held back and also began interacting with the animals.

Actually, she didn’t know what they were communicating, but she patted every animal that approached her, regardless of size. Monkeys even picked wild fruits for them, giving several to each person!

This reminded her of the Great Eagle she had seen before. Perhaps she could ask Yu Xian to bring it into the Small World? That eagle was so intelligent; little Xianger would surely love it.

Li Mochou decided to ask Yu Xian to fetch it back later.

It wasn’t until nightfall that the animals reluctantly said goodbye to the children. The children were very reluctant, and their eyes started welling up.

Li Mochou told them they would come again tomorrow, and only then did the children stop crying, eagerly anticipating the next day.

Li Mochou brought the three children back to the palace. They were all filthy. Just as she was about to take them to wash, she unexpectedly found Ning Zhongze and Huang Rong in the main hall, seemingly waiting for them to return.

These two were safe and sound? Had too many people made Yu Xian less effective?

Yu Xian: Why don’t you come and try if I’m effective or not!

‘Where did you go? Why are you all so dirty?’ Ning Zhongze saw that not only the children but also Li Mochou were dirty, so she asked curiously.

‘You guys…’ Li Mochou didn’t answer immediately but looked at Ning Zhongze and Huang Rong with curiosity.
