Chapter 637: Chapter 22: Let Me Take You Home

”Did you dream that we went to fetch water, encountered a pack of wolves, but the wolves listened to Tianmiao and left, allowing us to fetch water smoothly?” Que Qiu asked.

”Yes.” Cheng Luo nodded, ”Is there a problem with my dream?”

Que Qiu didn’t speak, and the others remained silent.

The room instantly fell into silence.

Cheng Luo grew increasingly anxious and asked nervously, ”What is going on?”

”What you dreamed was real.” Tianmiao said with a smile, ”I have another profession, I’m a Beast Tamer. So I can communicate with those wolves. I expressed to them that we were just passing through, had no intention of infringing on their territory, and would only take the water we needed.”

”Oh my god, it’s actually true?!” Cheng Luo looked at the assistants in horror.

”Yes.” Tianmiao looked at Cheng Luo. The bloodline of this girl was quite interesting.

”Also, Tianmiao, you’re a Beast Tamer?” Cheng Luo asked in surprise, ”So, can you tame many animals?”

”That’s why so many camels listen to you?” Que Qiu asked at this moment.

”Otherwise?” Tianmiao smiled slightly.

”Oh.” Que Qiu uttered a sound but didn’t know whether he believed Tianmiao’s words. Then he turned his head and went to sit by himself to rest with closed eyes.

”Cheng Luo, have you heard the legend of the Irel Ancient Country’s State Preceptor?” Tianmiao suddenly asked softly.

”State Preceptor?” Cheng Luo asked in confusion.

”Legend has it that the Irel Ancient Country is protected by a powerful State Preceptor. The State Preceptor’s mana is boundless and is passed down from generation to generation. Each State Preceptor, before passing away, transfers everything to the next State Preceptor, usually to their son or daughter. The State Preceptor holds the people dear, being kind and loving. However, the last State Preceptor, in choosing a successor, couldn’t decide, because his daughter, though possessing powerful mana, was narrow-minded and ruthless, unable to carry such a heavy responsibility as the State Preceptor.” Tianmiao’s voice was light, yet no one interrupted her words, and everyone in the Black Stone House listened attentively to her narrative.

Even Professor Wu listened somewhat entranced, for in the literature he delved into, there was no record of this story. Was it true or just a local legend?

”Later, this State Preceptor finally made up his mind to choose another successor, not his daughter, but his niece. She had talent too, but her power was far inferior to his daughter’s. But, his daughter found out and became jealous, sending people to assassinate this niece. The State Preceptor sent people to take his niece out of the desert overnight, advising her never to return. Later, the Ancient Country had relocated its capital, so even if she wanted to return, she couldn’t find her hometown anymore.” Tianmiao reached out and touched Cheng Luo’s hair lightly, smiling, ”So long has passed, the descendants of this niece...”

At this moment, someone outside pushed against the blocked door.

”Is anyone there? Is there anyone inside? Cough cough cough...” The person outside shouted loudly.

”It’s Zhou Qiang!” Cheng Luo heard the voice and stood up in surprise, ”He’s still alive, still alive! Quick, quick, open the door.”

The others hurried to open the door.

Que Qiu didn’t move; he stared intently at Tianmiao. Tianmiao simply returned the smile, without speaking.

While everyone’s attention was at the door, Que Qiu sat next to Tianmiao and asked quietly, ”What else do you know?”
