All the little ears perked up when they heard about going into the mountains . Cheng Biyuan looked at his daughter and finally shook his head and wouldn’t let the three young ones to go with them . He told the three of them to stay home and cultivate .
Under the disappointed look of the three young ones, Cheng Xiao Xiao followed her dad into the mountain in the back of the house .
“Xiao Xiao, what do you need from the mountain?” asked Cheng Biyuan .
Cheng Xiao Xiao held nothing back, “Dad, I want to go look for precious herbs, or vicious beasts . If I can collect these into the dimension, it can be leveled up . As the level of the dimension increases, it will have more abilities . ”
“Oh!” Cheng Biyuan nodded, he wasn’t that surprised by it . “You can plant the herbs in the dimension, but what can you do with the vicious beasts?”
That he couldn’t figure out, but he was curious . Why would you want to keep a bunch of vicious beasts in the dimension?
“Dad, have you ever heard of summoners or beast driver?” answered Cheng Xiao Xiao with a question .
Summoners? Beast driver?
These words made him think of a very prestigious title – beast tamers!
Beast tamers were those that understood wild beasts . They could summon vicious beasts from the forest to fight for them . The flying beasts could even let me ride and travel on . There were only a handful of these beast tamers in Dafeng Country . Whenever one of them appeared, they would be treated as special guest by the emperor . They get to stay in the palace and are well feared and respected .

Whenever one appeared in a dynasty, they would strike fear into even nearby countries . Summoners were too terrifying . The kind of beasts that they could summon could defeat even the most elite soldiers . Who would dare fight something like that?
Was she saying that…
Cheng Biyuan’s eyes widened and looked of disbelief . He was so excited that he started to stutter, “Xiao, Xiao Xiao, are you saying that, you mean, you can become a beast tamer?”
“Beast tamer?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was no stranger to that term either . It’s really the synonym to summoner or beast driver, just a different name .
“Yes, dad . With the dimension, I can collect vicious beasts inside . They will recognize me as their master . From then on, both Yuteng and me can use them to fight for us, I guess that will make me a beast tamer . ”
“Oh god, that is great . It really is . You, us, beast tamer . A beast tamer in the Cheng’s family!” Even the usually staid and earnest Cheng Biyuan started to ramble from excitement after hearing this news . Cheng Xiao Xiao could see a hint of tears out of the corner of her father’s eyes .
“This is fantastic . Our branch could have such a talent, and a well-respected beast tamer at that . Ha ha ha ha…”
Cheng Biyuan was laughing so heartily he didn’t care that Cheng Xiao Xiao was standing right next to him . Cheng Xiao Xiao saw tears running down his face and had mixed emotions . From his words, she gathered that the Cheng’s was not from an ordinary background .
She had read too many novels with such cliché plotlines where someone of prestigious heritage like her dad being kicked out of the family that she had a pretty good idea what had happened .
Judging from his drastic reaction, he must be looking forward to the day where he could go back and brag about his achievements!

It took Cheng Biyuan quite a bit of time to regain his composure . He had a look of gentleness and determination, “Xiao Xiao, let’s go . Dad will take you to collect precious herbs and tame vicious wild beasts and let you become the most power beast tamer!”
“Okay!” Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded .
The father and daughter walked further into the mountain . This was a mountain that they have entered this time, not where she has gone to collect firewood with her brother previously .
TQWWF ch 30 . 2 - A Pleasant Surprise“Dad, are these uncharted territory?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao as they walked on .
“You are exactly right . This ancient forest goes way deep, the beasts here are very powerful and had many different herbs . At the same time, these aren’t beasts that you everyday hunters can handle . I have only been here a few times . After all, we are just hunting for food, any wild animals will do, there is no need to come here to battle these vicious beasts . ”
“Dad, have you seen mythical beasts?”
“Mythical beasts? The vicious beasts here can be considered as mythical beasts . They are more vicious and smarter than your normal beasts . Granted, if anything, they are on the lower end of the scale . I have heard that mythical beasts at the highest end can transform into human form . But these are legends, I have only heard of them . ”
“Oh, so what’s the strongest mythical beast that you have encountered like?”
“The strongest mythical beast? The strongest mythical beast that I have seen was more powerful than a level 10 martial master!”
“Martial artist? Dad, what is a martial master?”

“Those who cultivate has different levels – martial apprentice, martial scholar, martial master, martial spiritualist, martial king, martial emperor, and martial monarch . Martial emperor and martial monarch only exist in legends . The strongest martial artists in Dafeng Country are merely martial king . ”
The two chatted as they walked on and Cheng Xiao Xiao learned more as they go . She didn’t expect that each of these category further subdivided into ten levels, similar to that in her old novels .
From her father’s words, she learned that he was only a martial scholar before . But Yuteng’s healing power allowed him to achieve martial master . A martial master was already pretty high up in terms of ability in Dafeng Country .
After four hours of walking, Cheng Biyuan stopped . Looking at the mountain range in front of them, quietness surrounded them . Yet a surge of viciousness came at them from afar .
This was Cheng Xiao Xiao’s first time experiencing the magnificent of high mountains . She looked afar and saw clouds, fog, and all the mountains joining together . The vegetation was thick, and old, ancient trees rising up into the sky . In the midst of the fog, one could almost make out the roaring of vicious beasts .
“Xiao Xiao, are you afraid?” asked Cheng Biyuan with a smile .
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled, “No, not with you around!”
She was somewhat buttering up to her father, but that aside, her father was a martial master and she has the dimension . There was nothing to be afraid about . Not to mention that little Yuteng was closeby, her safety was more or less guaranteed .
“Good, then let’s go!” Cheng Biyuan had a bright smile . Cheng Xiao Xiao’s buttering up had worked wonders .
“Okay!”
The two of them walked deeper into the mountain ranges .
“SSSSSsssss!”
A strange noice and Cheng Biyuan stopped in his steps . A bright, silvery light came bearing down from an ancient wood like a metal arrow!
“Be careful!”
A low cry from Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Xiao Xiao ducked to one side . She saw her father reached out and caught the silver bolt with two fingers right before it reached his face .
“SSSsssssss… . ”
A small, long, and silver snake curled around the father’s fingers . It let out a piercing noise but it couldn’t attack with it’s head being stuck between the fingers .
“Xiao Xiao, this is silver jade snake . It likes to hide and attack people from inside the tree . It looks soft but it’s hard like steel . It’s equivalent to a level three martial apprentice . But it’s most deadly weapon was its poison from it’s mouth . They are very toxic, even a little bit can kill a person . Do you want it inside the dimension?” Cheng Biyuan gave Cheng Xiao Xiao a brief explanation of the snake .
Cheng Xiao Xiao figured she already had a bandit krait, what’s another silver jade snake? She nodded, “Dad, let met collect it into the dimension . It could make a good assistant!”
“Up to you!”
Little Yuteng flashed out, waved her arm, and the silver snaked disappeared from inside Cheng Biyuan’s grip .
