“Xi Lu~”

“Chasing Wind says, it hopes to entrust Star to you.” Xu Kun translated Chasing Wind’s sentiment without delay, then wore an odd expression.

As Chasing Wind’s Beast Master, he knows that though Chasing Wind usually seems indifferent towards the child Star, it has always been observing him covertly.

Why would it care so much about Star just to entrust him to Boss Little Xu now?

Xu Ran looked just as surprised.

“Entrust to me?” Xu Ran blinked.

He almost blurted out, “How did you know I have an Awakening Stone?”

But on second thought, it was probably a coincidence.

Perhaps his interactions and the Washing and Protection process from yesterday had made Chasing Wind see him as a trustworthy person, and entrust him with the care of young Star?

“That’s Chasing Wind’s idea. If Boss Little Xu is willing to, you can take Star with you,” Xu Kun smiled, “From what I just saw, Boss Little Xu, you seem to enjoy horse riding a lot.”

“Star has Chasing Wind’s lineage, so when he grows up, he will be much stronger than ordinary horses. It’s a good choice.”

Upon hearing Xu Kun’s words, Xu Ran turned to look at Star who was stepping towards him under the watchful eyes of his parents.

Having heard the little one’s backstory, he admired him quite a bit. And the Awakening Stone he had been holding onto could conveniently turn Star into a Transcendent Being.

But whether to proceed with this, he had to observe.

Star slightly raised his head; his black eyes radiating a hint of purple were like deep gems, calmly looking up at Xu Ran who stood taller than him.

Indulging in Transcendent blood, it had fairly good intelligence. The man before it, it was told by his father, might just be able to change its destiny.

Destiny, Star doesn’t believe in.

From the moment it was bom, its companions constantly told Star that it was an ordinary creature, different from them, and that was its destiny.

Because it didn’t believe in fate, it ran with all its might so as to catch up with its companions, to prove that it could eliminate the gap between them.

Although it always ended in failure, it never gave up.

Now, the father it had always seen as an idol told it that its destiny might be changeable. An impulse rushed up in Star’s heart.

It wanted to… seize this opportunity!

“Xi Lu~”

Star suddenly let out a series of urgent neighs, as if inviting Xu Ran to mount atop its back.

“Err, you’re still young, you may not be able to carry…” Looking at the foal that was shorter than himself, Xu Ran was subconsciously about to refuse, but he faltered when his eyes met Star’s determined gaze, “Well, I’ll try.”

He gently mounted atop Star’s back.

The back of Star wasn’t very wide; it looked even weaker compared to its father’s. However, it was able to carry Xu Ran steadily, without trembling.

One step… two steps…

After Xu Ran got seated, Star began to move forward step by step, then accelerated, starting to run.

Sitting on the back of Star, Xu Ran could clearly feel its efforts. After all, it was still an immature foal, but Star was persistent; it was always trying to steady its burdened body.

“Meow-”

Ziyun slowly straightened up, watching Star carrying its Beast Master farther and farther, lightly nodding its head as though it was approving.

Although Star was hiding from it earlier, the magnanimous Ziyun decided to forgive him.

If the Beast Master decided to take him, then it would not oppose!

Carrying Xu Ran, Star began to run faster and faster. It circled the open field and finally stopped back at the starting point.

After Xu Ran dismounted, Star lifted his head up high like a child that anticipated praise after a performance.

“Boss Little Xu, what do you think?” Xu Kun asked with a bright smile.

“Hmm…” Xu Ran turned his head and glanced at Ziyun. From their One Person One Pet glance, he understood Ziyun’s thoughts. He nodded slowly, “So be it, I’ll take Star with me. Thank you, Uncle Xu.”

“It’s just a little horse, no need for formalities.” Xu Kun’s smile deepened.

“Xi Lu~”

Seeing Star being recognized by Xu Ran, a flicker of joy passed in Chasing Wind’s eyes.

Without telling his Beast Master, Chasing Wind knew very well that its victory in the championship today was closely tied to yesterday’s Washing and Protection process.

Just through washing and protection, he was able to achieve such magical effects. The human in front of them was clearly not a simple one.

As if due to a sixth sense, Chasing Wind felt that entrusting its offspring’s future to this human was the right choice, similar to how it had previously chosen Beast Master Xu Kun.

“Well then, congratulations Boss Little Xu on getting a beloved horse!” Xu Kun patted Xu Ran on the shoulder, “Let’s have lunch here before we go! Try my cooking.”

“Well then I won’t hold back.” Xu Ran nodded with a smile.

“Star, consider this as your home from now on.”

Leading Star into his own Foster Shop, Xu Ran opened his mouth with a smile.

“Xi Lu-”

As Star looked about, its eyes flashed with anticipation for the new life.

“Meow-” (Welcome home!)

Ziyun circled around Star once as a welcoming ceremony for the new member, then jumped back to its own spot on the counter.

On the way there, Star and Ziyun gradually became acquainted, and Star no longer showed the resistance it had at first when startled; now, it neighed friendly towards Ziyun, waiting for Xu Ran to settle in.

“Let me see… first, take a rest here, and tonight you can stay in the Foster Area.” Xu Ran contemplated for a moment before he quickly made a decision.

At this moment, the system is still being upgraded, and Star entering it would be considered a new resident, so for now, it can’t enter yet.

By evening, the system upgrade should be completed and then Star could move in.

Although the Foster area is a little smaller compared to Uncle Xu’s horse ranch, there’s still plenty of space for Star to run around in daily, and there are other residents there as well, so Star won’t be alone.

Having decided how to settle Star, there was but one thing left.

Awaken Star as a Transcendent Being.

“Star, close your eyes.”

Xu Ran silently took out the Awakening Stone and placed it against the obediently closing eyes of Star, wishing it “Good luck,” same as he did during Ziyun’s awakening, then let it go and step aside.

“Xi Lu-”

Star’s body slightly trembled.

The Awakening Stone didn’t drop even once, but rather hovered in the air and gradually merged into its forehead.

As the Awakening Stone completely merged, multicolored radiance emerged from Star’s body, enveloping it layer by layer.

Seeing the awakening scene again, Xu Ran, with a dawning comprehension, found it familiar.

Because he had previously used the Insight Mirror to choose the Beast Egg, he was now familiar with the colors representing the different attributes.

By looking carefully, one could see that the radiance emitted was interweaved by exactly ten different colors, corresponding to ten different attributes.

As Xu Ran observed, the ten colors became nine, and the cyan color corresponding to Wind Attribute quietly disappeared.

Followed by it, was the red color corresponding to Fire Attribute.

Based on his experience with Ziyun’s awakening, the disappearing color represented the attribute that Star didn’t resonate with.

And the last color left behind would become Star’s final attribute.

“Meow-” (Was this how I awakened back then?)

Ziyun, lying on the counter, watched this scene with great interest.

Watching this process from a bystander’s perspective, compared to experiencing it firsthand, were two entirely different things.

Seeing Star being enveloped in the colorful radiance, Ziyun’s eyes displayed an unusual sense of loss.

What did it feel like when it awakened?

If it remembered correctly, it seemed to have had a dream.

In the dream, all the things it was once terrified of emerged, and in the end, it saw a bolt of lightning descending from the sky.

Thunder, was the power of which Ziyun, a stray cat at the time, was most scared. It once saw another stray cat who roamed with it die from a lightning strike, and from then on, it had a deep psychological shadow.

Perhaps one’s greatest fear is the deepest desire of the heart. So, it finally awakened to the Thunder Attribute and had this power under its control.

Then, what would Star’s awakening be like?
