CHAPTER 170: 128 HUMBLE GIRL_3

Du Yu waved his hand: "Xiaobai is training with my master right now, she didn’t come back this time."

"Tap, tap."

A tall, slender doe stepped forward, lowered her deer head, and gently touched Du Yu’s forehead.

It was unclear whether she was apologizing for her herd’s behavior or reminding Du Yu to take good care of her child.

The clan leader and his mate did not react otherwise, clearly, last time Xiaobai returned home, she had already explained her contract situation to her parents.

"Come on, Shiwei, come over." Du Yu rubbed the deer’s head with one hand, gently stroking her soft fur, while beckoning Lin Shiwei with the other hand.

Perhaps they were familiar enough, the clan leader and his mate simply watched Lin Shiwei approach without retreating.

Suddenly, the doe seemed to sense something, her deer head slowly lowered and sniffed at the left side of the girl’s chest.

"Nai?"

Lin Shiwei instinctively raised a finger, and a faint Wind Spiritual Qi swirled and spilled forth.

The tall doe took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and savored the experience.

Other Dust Spirit Deer Herd members who had just walked away turned around upon witnessing this scene.

However, compared to Du Yu, the Dust Spirit Deer did not approach so boldly, maybe due to mistrust or insufficient familiarity; they cautiously sniffed around Lin Shiwei.

"Hey, don’t step on me." Du Yu crawled outward with a hand on his head, but the Dust Spirit Deer ignored him.

Right! That’s the scent!

The Dust Spirit Deer Herd’s calls grew increasingly beautiful, echoing continuously.

Previously, when Du Yu provided Fire Spiritual Qi, the clan leader and his mate let the herd taste it without joining.

But faced with Wind Spiritual Qi, even the two of them couldn’t resist and quickly joined in.

"Slow down, slow down." Lin Shiwei said softly, her eyes uncharacteristically gentle.

On her right index finger was a small wind vortex, while her left hand extended forward, attempting to touch the deer head before her.

Yet, just as she extended her palm, the massive deer head slightly retreated, eyes vigilantly watching Lin Shiwei.

Lin Shiwei opened her mouth but eventually said nothing.

The girl’s face turned slightly gloomy as she silently released Wind Spiritual Qi, no longer attempting to touch the beautiful deer head.

Before long, Lin Shiwei’s Spiritual Qi was exhausted.

She had cultivated earnestly for a full week, preparing everything meticulously, yet only gained less than twenty seconds of contact with the Dust Spirit Deer.

And such contact was merely one-sided, seemingly somewhat humble no matter how you looked at it.

The Dust Spirit Deer gazed longingly at her fingertips but still regarded her with caution.

Gradually, the herd dispersed, leaving Lin Shiwei standing silently at the same spot.

"Shiwei."

"Hmm?"

"Being cautious of all things is their nature; don’t overthink." Du Yu approached, softly comforting, as he reached out to hold the girl’s shoulder.

Du Yu looked up at the clan leader and his mate who hadn’t left: "We are together; she also has Wind Spiritual Qi. Would your herd be willing to travel with us?

Like Xiaobai, to see the world outside."

The tall Dust Spirit Deer couple did not respond, nor did they move; they simply watched the two Humans quietly.

Feeling the hand gripping her shoulder tightly, Lin Shiwei raised her head, eyes sincere: "I will definitely take good care of your herd, definitely."

The majestic clan leader still did not respond, but the slender doe turned her head to look behind her: "Nai~~~"

Uncertain of the meaning of her prolonged call, the Dust Spirit Deer Herd collectively stepped back.

Only one remained standing still.

Lin Shiwei’s mood fluctuated as if on a roller coaster, gazing at the tall, proud Dust Spirit Deer in the distance; a glimmer of hope rose in her eyes:

"I seem to recognize it."

"You recognize it?"

"Yes, it... carried me before."
