Chapter 687, A Rather Distinguished Matter

Translator: Silavin

 

*Kree…*

 

The Peak Eagle let out a loud cry within the Yong’an Building, its voice particularly crisp.

 

“Why is it suddenly calling out so loudly?” Yan Hua frowned.

 

The Peak Eagle had been following her around, especially during training sessions where they were practically inseparable.

 

Now that they had entered the Yong’an Building, it had followed them inside as well, despite its rather large size.

 

*Kree…*

*Flutter flutter…*

 

The Peak Eagle cried out again, its wings flapping about, appearing quite excited.

 

“Shaman, what’s wrong with it?” Yan Hua asked in confusion.

 

“Perhaps it’s growing, and is quite excited about it.” Su Bai speculated.

 

He observed that the Peak Eagle had already grown considerably, its size much larger than when he had first seen it.

 

“Growing?” Yan Hua turned to look at the Peak Eagle with a puzzled expression.

 

Yan Hua, seeing it day and night, might have failed to notice that the Peak Eagle had grown at all.

 

“Yes, it’s obviously much larger. It’s only been a few days, yet it’s grown remarkably fast.” Su Bai nodded.

 

When it had been in the second-floor living room earlier, it had not seemed too crowded, but now entering here, it was clearly taking up quite a bit of space.

 

“It seems the meat it’s been eating these days has enough, otherwise it couldn’t have grown this fast.” Yan Hua sighed.

 

“It probably goes hunting in the forest by itself every day. The meat we feed it alone would hardly be enough for it to grow this large.” Su Bai inquired.

 

Yan Hua nodded repeatedly, saying, “Yes, it goes into the forest to catch prey every day.”

 

“I’m worried that as it continues to grow larger, it might become difficult to control.” Su Bai said seriously.

 

He noticed that the Peak Eagle’s size had increased significantly, with its claws and wings all becoming much larger.

 

“Shaman, should we use Taming on it?” Yan Hua asked curiously.

 

“Please use it on the Peak Eagle. I’m afraid it might fly away, and we’ve raised it for so long.” Yan Hua worried.

 

Yan Hua was reluctant to let it fly away, after all, they had raised it for such a long time. Moreover, it could help during missions, and she had already grown accustomed to the Peak Eagle’s presence.

 

“Alright.” Su Bai nodded. He originally wanted to see how a wild animal could be tamed naturally. But at this point the risks outweighed the test result.

 

He extended both hands and began to use the Taming Skill, purple light slowly seeping from his palms.

 

The purple light circled around the Peak Eagle’s body once, gradually embedding itself within.

 

*Kree…* The Peak Eagle instinctively cried out, its wings spreading wide, clearly having grown considerably.

 

When the wings spread, the light on the second floor dimmed noticeably.

 

*Kree…* As the purple light of the Taming Skill dissipated, the Peak Eagle was Tamed, and its calls became much gentler.

 

“Shaman, is that all there is to it?” Yan Hua asked curiously.

 

“Hmmm, now you can command it at will, and it won’t disobey your orders.” Su Bai nodded.

 

Yan Hua reached out to stroke the Peak Eagle’s neck, feeling the softness transmitted by the large feathers.

 

She withdrew her hand and said, “Shaman, I won’t let it come inside again. It’s indeed too big and really takes up too much space.”

 

“Sure, let it rest in the forest or on the rooftop. Those places are quite spacious.” Su Bai said softly.

 

The Peak Eagle seemed to understand, its crisp call sounding again, though this time much more docile.

 

*Meow~ Meow~*

 

Rolly suddenly started calling out, its voice sounding particularly fierce, with its fur standing on end.

 

Its overall grey and white fur began to grow longer. This was the first time it had displayed such a state since its evolution.

 

Previously, it had always appeared well-behaved. Even though it looked like a Maine Coon cat, its behaviour and calls were indeed gentle.

 

Its previous image was completely different from how it appeared now, like two different cats. Now it looked like a fierce predator.

 

“Rolly, we’re all friends here. Don’t be so rude.” Su Bai said sternly.

 

This was Rolly’s first time seeing the Peak Eagle, and the entire cat’s reaction was extraordinarily intense.

 

*Kree…*

 

The Peak Eagle also responded defiantly, spreading its wings wide as if ready for a duel at any moment.

 

“You settle down too. You need to get along!” Yan Hua instructed.

 

She did not want to see two fighting on the second floor. If they really fought, the scene would be difficult to control.

 

*Kree…*

*Meow meow meow…*

 

After being scolded, both beasts clearly restrained themselves, no longer having their daggers drawn.

 

The fur that had bristled on Rolly gradually smoothed down, and the feathers on the Peak Eagle also became sleek.

 

“Give it a name. It still doesn’t have a name, does it?” Su Bai suddenly said.

 

Always calling it Peak Eagle sounded rather distant. Having a name would sound more affectionate.

 

Like Rolly and Milky now, they all had names, which made them sound like proper helpers for the Warriors.

 

“Give it a name? I don’t know what name would be good….” Yan Hua pondered.

 

She truly had not thought about this, because she did not need to call it at all. It just followed her every day.

 

“It needs a name. Next time, even if you’re far from it, calling its name will make it respond to you.” Su Bai nodded.

 

Yan Hua seriously cupped her chin in thought. After a while, she said, “In that case, I’ll call it Ah Hen.” Yan Hua suddenly declared.

 

Yan Hua had thought of the new vocabulary she had learned recently – the word brown.

 

Seeing that the Peak Eagle’s feathers were all dark brown, this name couldn’t be more fitting.

 

“Fine. After all, it’s your wild beast, so call it whatever name you like.” Su Bai said softly.

 

He didn’t have much attachment to names, just thought having a name would be better for addressing it.

 

“I’ll call you Ah Hen from now on.” Yan Hua stroked the Peak Eagle’s head.

 

*Kree…*

 

Ah Hen seemed to like this name very much, calling out gently in response.

 

“We’ll help each other from now on.” Yan Hua said with a smile.

 

Yan Hua began to look forward to cooperating with the Peak Eagle. When they went on missions, it would surely be twice as effective.

 

*Kree…* The Peak Eagle flapped its wings happily in response. Clearly, at this age, it looked like a young eagle.

 

“I wish I could have a wild beast too…” Sha Lan suddenly sighed.

 

“This is a matter of fate. Maybe you’ll have one in the future too.” Su Bai consoled.

 

Having a wild beast follow a Warrior was a rather distinguished matter, but if one did not have this, there was no need to force it.

 

“I understand.” Sha Lan nodded.
