Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

A hint of envy flashed in Li Cunxu's eyes.

This talent was extraordinary. If Li Cunxu also had this talent, he could basically coast through life. Even if the Four Gods ultimately triumphed and the Alliance failed, and they controlled the world, Li Cunxu could still live comfortably.

Blessing of Fortune is a Beast Tamer talent that can be shared with contracted beasts.

After contracting a beast, Jiang Lingyun's team would have two Blessing of Fortune talents, doubling the good fortune and luck.

Contracting two beasts would triple the good fortune and luck.

Contracting three beasts would quadruple the good fortune and luck.

The more beasts she contracted, the more good fortune and luck she would have.

As for Jiang Lingyun, she awakened zero contract slots. Wouldn't that limit the number of beasts she could contract?

This wasn't actually a problem for Jiang Lingyun.

She only needed someone to sponsor her with a few expansion items, allowing her to contract more beasts. Then, in the future, Jiang Lingyun wouldn't have to worry about not having enough contract slots, because her good fortune would arrange expansion items for her.

Just like now, Blessing of Fortune had arranged a Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit for Jiang Lingyun.

Why did Li Cunxu believe that the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit was arranged by Blessing of Fortune, and not just a lucky find?

It was because Little White Spider had observed the fortune guidance of the Blessing of Fortune talent.

Ever since Little White Spider comprehended the Domain of Fate, it possessed the ability to observe the flow of fate around it. This ability was very practical, allowing Little White Spider to detect in advance whether Li Cunxu would encounter danger in the future.

In the future, when Jiang Lingyun contracted more beasts and shared more Blessing of Fortune talents, perhaps expansion items would fall from the sky and hit her on the head as she walked.

… …

Jiang Lingyun was still somewhat incredulous that Li Cunxu had given her such a precious expansion item.

She knew that in her previous world, there was a human city where the city lord and the deputy city lord were close brothers, but they became enemies over an expansion item, resulting in a bitter feud. The city was also affected and split, with the elder brother keeping half of the population in place, and the younger brother taking the other half to build a city elsewhere.

Jiang Lingyun cautiously asked, "Are you really giving this to me? You're not going to trick me, are you? When I'm about to bite into it, you'll suddenly take it back, let me bite empty air, and then laugh at me."

Li Cunxu was both amused and exasperated. "Your imagination is a bit too rich. I promise I won't do that. I'm not that malicious."

Jiang Lingyun lowered her head and stared at the fruit, deep in thought. After considering it, she resisted the strong desire and reluctance in her heart and handed the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit back to Li Cunxu.

"You saved my life. If you hadn't pulled me out of the sand, I might have suffocated in the sand…"

She wouldn't have suffocated. Those with the Blessing of Fortune talent were difficult to kill.

If Li Cunxu hadn't saved her then, other factors would have saved Jiang Lingyun. Either the aftershock of two giant scorpions fighting would have flipped Jiang Lingyun out, or a sandstorm would have blown Jiang Lingyun out… …

"…In this dangerous world, I'm already under your protection. I'm not qualified, and I can't take away your expansion item."

"This isn't my expansion item. This is a treasure of the Sand People. Besides, you touched the mechanism and found this secret room. Otherwise, I might have missed the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit. You deserve a large share of the credit for finding it. You deserve a share of this fruit."

Jiang Lingyun clearly wanted it very much and wanted to become a Beast Tamer, but she insisted on returning the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit to Li Cunxu.

No matter how Li Cunxu tried to persuade her, Jiang Lingyun stubbornly refused to eat it and insisted on returning it to him.

Li Cunxu realized that Jiang Lingyun simply didn't believe that finding the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit was due to her Blessing of Fortune talent.

Li Cunxu explained the abilities of Blessing of Fortune to Jiang Lingyun.

Jiang Lingyun didn't believe it.

"If Blessing of Fortune could really bring good luck, my mother wouldn't have left me."

"Your mother passed away?"

Li Cunxu frowned and asked. The parents of those with the Blessing of Fortune talent, as long as they weren't malicious parents, would be touched by a bit of the talent holder's fortune. They shouldn't have passed away so early, right?

"No, my mother was taken away by a mirror. The people on the other side of the mirror seemed to be from the outside world. Oh right, you're from the outside world, do you know of any mirror in the outside world that can take people from the Thousandfold Small World away?"

Li Cunxu thought for a moment and actually thought of one, a mirror that could break through the Divine Hidden Forbidden Land and pull people out of the Thousandfold Small World.

"Is your surname your father's or your mother's?"

"It's my mother's."

Li Cunxu looked at Jiang Lingyun strangely. He probably guessed what mirror and who had taken her mother away.

The God Realm had a hidden family called the Yan Emperor Jiang family. The 'Jiang' in Jiang Lingyun's name was the same 'Jiang.' This Jiang family had a mirror in their possession called the Myriad Spirits Reflection Mirror, a Ninth-Order item, one-third of the Emperor Item - Surveillance Mirror. This mirror could forcibly drag away any living being it reflected.

This could also explain why Jiang Lingyun wasn't a Beast Tamer, but she didn't die after falling from such a high pyramid.

The Yan Emperor bloodline of the Jiang family could grant people powerful vitality and physique.

But Li Cunxu had a doubt. Jiang Lingyun possessed the Yan Emperor bloodline, so why didn't the Jiang family take Jiang Lingyun away when they took her mother?

Could it be because Jiang Lingyun hadn't awakened a single contract slot, and they despised her as a waste?

Li Cunxu didn't think so. The ancient Yan Emperor Jiang family had extremely deep foundations. They didn't lack treasures like expansion items at all. Not awakening a single contract slot was a major event in the eyes of ordinary people, but it was nothing difficult in the eyes of the Jiang family.

Li Cunxu asked Jiang Lingyun why the person with the mirror hadn't taken her away as well. Jiang Lingyun said she didn't know either.

Li Cunxu didn't tell Jiang Lingyun his guess that the Jiang family had taken her mother. Guesses were just guesses, and without solid evidence to support them, even if he told Jiang Lingyun, she would be helpless against a behemoth like the Yan Emperor Jiang family and would only add to her worries.

"I told you this isn't mine. This is a gift from the Sand People. Take it quickly."

Li Cunxu forcibly stuffed it into Jiang Lingyun's hands.

"My mother taught me that one must have principles. I can't take things that don't belong to me."

Li Cunxu had a bit of a headache, but he also admired her. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a way to persuade Jiang Lingyun to take the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit.

"How about I give you the Myriad Desert Sea Buckthorn Fruit as a salary, and you work for me for five years?"

"Work? I don't know how to do anything. I only know how to pick mushrooms and herbs."

"The work I give you doesn't require you to do anything. You just need to follow me and let me mooch off the good luck brought by your talent."

Jiang Lingyun considered for a long time.

"Okay, but five years is too short. Let's change it to ten years, no, make it twenty years."
