Chapter 49: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 49: Pet (Third Update! Seeking Subscriptions)
The exiled team consisted of about twenty to thirty bailiffs. Although Captain Sun had kicked them out to work on their own, they didn't mind it at all.
The reason they proposed this business was twofold: first, to help Chen Xue gather more contribution points quickly in preparation for the expedition to the Southern Barbarians.
Secondly, they wanted to use this business as an excuse to avoid any trouble from Captain Sun.
Currently, Captain Sun and the others were focused on collecting medicinal herbs and had no time to bother with them, so naturally, they wouldn't cause any trouble for them.
With Captain Sun and his group of bailiffs, including Zhao Guang, Xu Tian, and the current Kuang Wei, they now occupied more than half of the bailiffs in the exiled team.
Therefore, in the future journey, they would basically not be harassed by the bailiffs. Instead, these bailiffs would try to please them.
So, whether they enjoyed their freedom or not, they didn't have to worry about being harassed suddenly by the bailiffs or being exposed.
Even if the prisoners saw them enjoying good food, they would think that other bailiffs had sent it to please them.
And those bailiffs, even if they sensed something was wrong, wouldn't dare to spread rumors everywhere because their secrets were still in Chen Xue's hands.
So, Chen Xue and the others could completely treat the exile as a vacation without having to worry about being enslaved or living in fear anymore.
"Let's go back!"
Back in the carriage, Madam Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw everyone return safely. Then she saw the servants carrying several rabbits and smiled.
"It seems like you had a good harvest this time!"
"Hehe, with me around, everything will be fine."
Chen Xue giggled and jumped over, linking her arm with her mother's. Her mother reached out and tapped her forehead.
"You, you never know how to be modest!"
"Are those caught by you too?"
Madam Chen looked at the bird in Chen Yuan hand, no, it looked like an eagle, but its wings were covered in blood, as if it were injured.
Chen Yuan smiled, "Our daughter is kind-hearted and brought it back to help it heal."
Chen Xue let go of her mother's arm and waved to Yang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, come and take a look. Is this eagle seriously injured?"
Yang Xiaohua ran over when she heard that, examined it, and then asked Chen Xue for some herbs. After that, she bandaged the eagle.
"There's nothing serious, just external injuries. It'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Yang Xiaohua looked at the eagle, which behaved so docilely even when she applied the herbs, and couldn't help but marvel at its intelligence.
"That's good!"
Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief but found the eagle rubbing its head against her hand as if it knew she had saved it, showing affection and gratitude.
Seeing this, she suddenly had an idea and wanted to keep it as a pet.
After all, it was the first time she had seen such an intelligent eagle.
"Huh?"
"This eagle is quite intelligent?"
Madam Chen was surprised.
"This is no ordinary eagle." Chen Yuan smiled, "This is a Hai Dong Qing, meaning the god of all eagles. Not only is it brave, but it's also intelligent. Hunters often tame it to help them hunt."
"However, this creature is extremely rare. His Majesty once offered a reward to the world for a Hai Dong Qing, but unfortunately..."
"Didn't they get it?" Chen Xue was surprised. This was impossible. As the Emperor, His Majesty wanted a Hai Dong Qing. Countless people would have risked their lives to capture one to please him.
"Of course, they got it." Chen Yuan shook his head, "But unfortunately, although the court wanted to tame it, the Hai Dong Qing would rather starve to death than submit."
Chen Xue frowned. She wanted to keep it as a pet. If it was difficult to tame, it would be a pity.
With a Hai Dong Qing as a helper, she could anticipate danger in advance when tigers and other beasts attacked.
It could even help her hunt.
She had heard rumors about Hai Dong Qing in her past life. Among all eagles, the Hai Dong Qing was the most extraordinary. It had a height of one meter and a wingspan of about two meters when fully spread.
Not only was it large, but it was also very fast. Chen Xue remembered seeing in her past life that it could fly at over a hundred kilometers per hour, and when diving, it could reach over two hundred kilometers per hour.
But the Hai Dong Qing in front of her was very young and much smaller than a chicken.
But precisely because it was young, it was the easiest to tame.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to tame eagles.
"What a pity!"
Chen Yuan also felt regretful. He knew the rarity of the Hai Dong Qing, and it was rare to encounter one, especially one so intelligent.
"It's useless." Chen Yuan shook his head, "Although this Hai Dong Qing is young, it will eventually soar to the nine heavens. By then, even if you're close, it may not necessarily come back."
"Moreover, the Hai Dong Qing is the fiercest of all eagles. If this little guy is not tamed, it's easy to hurt people."
Pets biting their owners!
This kind of thing happened many times. Even if cats and dogs had been raised for a long time, sometimes they would attack their owners.
Let alone such a fierce Hai Dong Qing.
Chen Xue frowned, showing obvious worry. Then she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she immediately immersed herself in the space.
I wonder if the Space Exchange System has anything to help tame the Hai Dong Qing. If it does, then it would be easy.
"Pet Contract: 5000 Contribution Points (After use, the pet and the owner will have a telepathic connection. The pet can understand and obey any command from the owner, and the owner can also understand the pet.)"
Chen Xue saw the system prompt and her eyes lit up.
This thing is great!
It's a hundred times stronger than any other taming method, just like the spirit beast contract in the cultivation world.
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to pick up the Hai Dong Qing and then enter the carriage.
Seeing this, Madam Chen glanced at Chen Yuan and the two of them looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with their daughter.
But they followed up out of curiosity. Xiao Die didn't follow but stayed by the side of the carriage, keeping watch, while Yang Xiaohua, seeing that there was nothing for her to do, went to find her parents.
After entering the carriage, Chen Xue exchanged the Pet Contract. Although it required 5000 points, she had exchanged 5000 points just a few days ago for a Yunmu fragrant flower and then obtained a lot of medicinal herbs from Captain Sun. Now she had over ten thousand contribution points, which was more than enough.
After the exchange, Chen Xue thought it would be a scroll or parchment, but she found it was just a ball of light. Using it was like dripping a drop of blood and then placing it on the pet.
Chen Xue gritted her teeth, found a needle, pricked her finger, and then dropped a drop of blood into the light ball in front of her. It was instantly absorbed, and then she held the light ball and placed it on the Hai Dong Qing's body. In the blink of an eye, the light ball entered its body.
Soon, Chen Xue felt the Hai Dong Qing in front of her was very close to her.
"Chirp chirp!"
The little Hai Dong Qing wiggled its small body and ran towards Chen Xue, but because its wings were injured, it fell halfway. However, it quickly got up and continued to run towards Chen Xue.
"Like!"
Chen Xue immediately understood the meaning of the Hai Dong Qing's chirping and was overjoyed. She picked up the Hai Dong Qing and said happily, "From now on, you'll be called Xiaoqing!"
