Listening to the system's reward, Tang Yu began to study the beast control technique with great interest.
This technique was not about summoning divine beasts or signing magical contracts. I mean, where would divine beasts come from in an urban novel?
The ability of this technique was to control the behavior of animals and share their hearing and vision senses.
After thinking about it, Tang Yu rushed out of the room and returned after a while, holding a gray rat in his hand.
The large rat howled anxiously as Tang Yu held it by the tail.
It has always been said that rats are cowardly.
But when cornered, they can bite. This large rat, for example, tried several times to jump and bite Tang Yu's hand.
"If you go against me, if I hadn't used you today for an experiment, I would've taken you to the river to treat you for heatstroke."
Dodging the rat's attacks, Tang Yu tapped it on the forehead, and it was stunned, ceasing to resist.
Then, Tang Yu used the beast control technique to inject internal energy into it. After about two minutes, he finally managed to establish a connection with the rat.
With the rat under his control, Tang Yu let it go on the floor.
When the rat regained its consciousness, it seemed to be synchronized with Tang Yu's mind.
With just a thought, the rat shot out of the room.
Everything it saw and heard on its way, Tang Yu could perceive as well.
"I need to try controlling it from a distance," Tang Yu murmured as he controlled the rat, which was running quickly uphill. After a while, it stopped in front of an ancient courtyard.
It was the courtyard where Nan Huaiyun lived. Being the owner of the mountain, her residence left nothing to be desired.
Tang Yu made the rat enter the courtyard, and soon he heard the sound of running water.
"Is she taking a shower? This woman is too careless! What if Ye Qiu is still on the mountain and comes back to take advantage of her?" Tang Yu thought with concern.
He quickly controlled the rat to enter the house and head straight for the bathroom to see if any pervert was spying on her while she took a shower.
At that moment, Nan Huaiyun was not exactly showering.
She was washing her hair.
It was her daily habit: wash her hair, take a bath, and then go to bed.
In a good mood, she hummed a song while gently massaging her hair.
The shampoo she used was a mix she had prepared herself.
At her age, she still maintained a youthful appearance, all thanks to her meticulous self-care.
The hot water, full of white foam, slowly ran down her white and voluptuous skin.
A mischievous rat entered through the slightly open door and almost had its eyes pop out upon seeing the scene.
Nan Huaiyun did not notice the rat's presence.
After washing her hair, she sat in front of the bathroom mirror and began to apply a natural conditioner made from rare herbs.
At the same time, she unconsciously looked at her body.
"Have I been eating too much lately?" she murmured as she pinched her white belly. "It seems like I've gained a little weight, as if I have some fat."
Nan Huaiyun had always had a curvy and voluptuous body, so she was very careful about her figure. Gaining weight terrified her.
However, any other woman who had heard her would have exploded, calling her a vain bitch.
With that body full of curves, and just a little fat that was barely noticeable when pinched, was that really a problem?
How could those who have stomach bulges live?
"I should eat more vegetables from now on," she thought.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large rat peeking through the bathroom door, watching her.
Her expression changed slightly, but she wasn't too scared. She took some water in her hand and threw it forcefully…
The water droplets shot out, hitting the large rat and knocking it to the ground immediately.
Two days ago, Nan Huaiyun had consumed the Nine Transformations pill that Tang Yu gave her, successfully advancing to the initial stage of the [Heaven] level.
At this level, even plucking flowers or throwing leaves could become a lethal weapon.
The large rat squeaked a couple of times after being knocked down, convulsed briefly, and then lay completely still on the ground.
"How did a rat get in here? I'll have to find some poison later," Nan Huaiyun muttered.
After saying that, she didn't even bother to finish her shower, picked up the dead rat, threw it in the trash with a look of disgust, and quickly returned to finish her bath.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Tang Yu was startled.
As soon as the large rat died, his connection through the beast control technique was immediately broken.
Fortunately, it didn't provoke any violent reactions, but he did feel a strong sense of having been caught in an illicit act.
"Rat, you died so miserably ~~~~," Tang Yu said sadly.
For a moment, Tang Yu was filled with sadness. It was unexpected that Shushu, his main general in beast control, ended up sacrificing itself in such a way.
"But your sacrifice wasn't in vain. The sister's figure is really impressive. A face of thirty with a body of twenty! Definitely, some ancient martial arts must be practiced."
After lamenting for three seconds, Tang Yu changed his mood with a satisfied expression.
"Hehe, next time I'll do it again!"
Once he fully understood the technique, Tang Yu stopped playing around and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was hiding on Jiuhua Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to approach Tang Yu.
However, realizing that Ling Han and Chi Yin were watching him from the shadows, he decided to be extremely cautious, temporarily abandoning his plan and opting to wait for the right moment.
He couldn't believe that Tang Yu hadn't made a single mistake.
This time, operating from the shadows, he was determined to kill him before going to the Nine Heavens Alliance to complete family tasks!
After spending the entire night hidden, he finally saw an opportunity the next afternoon.
Tang Yu, accompanied by Nan Huaiyun and Ning Shiqin, was heading toward the Nine Dragons' Spring.
Seeing the route they were taking, Ye Qiu's eyes filled with hatred, almost shedding tears of blood.
"The Nine Dragons' Spring?" he murmured incredulously.
Originally, he thought this place was his blessed spot and his opportunity.
But he never imagined that damn Tang Yu had actually manipulated it.
"How does he know so much? Does he also know the secret behind the restoration of the Nine Dragons' Spring?"
Realizing what was going on, Ye Qiu suddenly understood the key point:
"Yes, this guy, knowing about the True Dragon Yin-Yang technique, must also be aware of the secret left by the old man."
With a sudden emotion, Ye Qiu patted the bomb on his waist.
"You want to enter the Nine Dragons' Spring? Well, get ready to die inside."
For his part, Tang Yu had no idea that Ye Qiu was following him from a distance.
After leading Nan Huaiyun and his disciple Ning Shiqin to the Nine Dragons' Spring, the lights came on one after another, illuminating the interior of the place.
It had been years since they last visited the Nine Dragons' Spring.
Nan Huaiyun couldn't help but feel nostalgic. In her youth, thanks to her exceptional talent in martial arts, her master had taken her there every year to use the spring's water in her cultivation.
"Young Tang, can it really be restored?" Nan Huaiyun asked with some expectation.
The existence of the Nine Dragons' Spring was crucial for the Mountain. If it could be restored, it would only be a matter of time before it regained its former glory.
"Yes, it can be," Tang Yu answered confidently. "That crazy old man from the Ye family did something to the Nine Dragons' Spring, altering the feng shui of the place. Naturally, the spring got suppressed and dried up."
"So the feng shui really has something to do with it?" Ning Shiqin asked, always curious.
