Volume One, Chapter 15: If You Would Not Forsake Me, I Wish to Honor You as My Beloved Sister!

Before she finished speaking, Summer Mengying had already urged her Whirlwind Firewolf to charge forward fiercely, launching a brutal attack on the ten Blue Demon tribe members.

As Summer Mengying rode the Whirlwind Firewolf into battle, Lin Yao stood frozen in place, speechless for a long moment.

There was no doubt—Summer Mengying was truly a kind-hearted and warm older sister.

If it had been another Beast Tamer, they might not have intervened in such a situation.

But the problem was, Lin Yao didn’t need saving at all!

Yet Summer Mengying and her Whirlwind Firewolf were just overwhelmingly powerful.

In the blink of an eye, two Blue Demon tribe members were already screaming in agony and falling lifeless.

Then, a furious combination of howling wind and blazing flames swept through, like an autumn breeze scattering fallen leaves, utterly annihilating the remaining Blue Demon tribe members and leaving them in complete disarray.

Seeing Summer Mengying’s astonishing combat prowess, Lin Yao couldn’t help but activate his talent to check the information on Summer Mengying and the Whirlwind Firewolf:

[Name: Summer Mengying]
[Level: 16]
[Class: Battle Rider · Beast Tamer]
[Talent: Peerless Battle Rider (100% affinity with battle-riding beasts, capable of perfectly contracting with all battle-riding beasts. When using battle-riding beasts in combat, all personal attributes are shared with the beast.)]
[...]
[Name: Whirlwind Firewolf (Young King Beast)]
[Level: 16]
[Quality: S-tier Beast (Super Growth Type)]
[Talent: Commanding Wolf Pack (Extremely high affinity with wolf-type beasts, able to greatly suppress and command wolf-type beasts with weaker bloodlines.)]
[Skills: Hurricane Blade, Flame Wolf Claw, Wind-Fire Shadow Strike, Secret Ritual · Ancestral Wolf’s Blessing!]
[...]

After reviewing the data, Lin Yao immediately understood why Summer Mengying and the Whirlwind Firewolf were so formidable.

When Summer Mengying was mounted, she could share all her attributes with the Whirlwind Firewolf.

The Whirlwind Firewolf was already an extraordinarily powerful young king beast, and with Summer Mengying’s attribute boost, its combat strength instantly rose to a whole new level.

Beasts, Beast Tamers, tribes, or monsters of the same level, unless heavily buffed, were no match for the Whirlwind Firewolf.

Within just a few moves, the entire squad of ten Blue Demon tribe members was wiped out.

Summer Mengying casually pulled out a scroll for energy extraction and waved it gently over the corpses of the Blue Demon tribe.

Immediately, their bodies transformed into streams of pure energy, converging into a sphere.

In real battles, unlike trial arenas, killing monsters or tribes did not grant energy directly; one had to extract it from the remains using such means to obtain pure energy that could be absorbed and refined to enhance strength.

After extracting all the energy from the Blue Demon squad, Summer Mengying did not intend to keep it all for herself but planned to share some with Lin Yao.

Still mounted on the Whirlwind Firewolf, she smiled warmly and beckoned to Lin Yao, “Poor little thing, call me your good big sister one more time...”

Without hesitation, Lin Yao immediately replied with a serious tone, “A man born of heaven and earth would never—”

Before he could finish, Summer Mengying interrupted him.

She blinked her long lashes slightly and continued with a sweet smile, “Poor little thing, if you call me good big sister again, I’ll share half the energy from this kill with you and give you a little gift for our first meeting, how’s that?”

This time, Lin Yao had no reservations and cheerfully shouted, “Good big sister!”

After all, a true man knows when to yield—why refuse a gift?

Of course, if Summer Mengying needed help next time, he would definitely demand to be called “good husband”!

Hearing his “good big sister,” Summer Mengying smiled triumphantly and replied sweetly, “Ah! Such a good little brother.”

Lin Yao silently noted her smug expression and coquettish tone, planning to collect his due favors in the future.

Sure enough, his call was not in vain.

Summer Mengying raised her hand and tossed a ring to Lin Yao.

As he caught it, he glanced at the translucent crystal rose bracelet adorning her fair wrist.

Seeing the bracelet, Lin Yao immediately understood why Summer Mengying was so generous.

She was none other than the eldest daughter of the Rose family!

The Rose family was one of the three great financial powers within the Great Zhou Empire, and even wealth accumulated over generations like Wang Dongzhe’s paled in comparison to the young lady of the Rose family.

Realizing this, Lin Yao grew even more eager to see what kind of gift Summer Mengying had given him.

Curious, he asked, “What kind of treasure is this?”

Summer Mengying replied casually with a smile, “Use your reconnaissance skill and see for yourself.”

Without delay, Lin Yao activated his reconnaissance skill.

[Name: Ring of the Silent One]
[Level: 15]
[Quality: S-tier]
[Attributes: Silent One’s New Garment, Silent Secret Spell, Absolute Silence Barrier]
[Silent One’s New Garment: Can conceal basic information of Beast Tamers and their beasts at level 15 and below.]
[Silent Secret Spell: Freezes or slows the energy flow within enemies level 15 and below, affecting their ability to release skills. (Usable once every 24 hours)]
[Absolute Silence Barrier: Completely cloaks Beast Tamers and their beasts at level 15 and below with an absolute silence barrier. The barrier consumes the Beast Tamer’s energy while active.]

After reading the attributes of the Ring of the Silent One, Lin Yao’s heart surged with joy.

A treasure!

This was undoubtedly a rare, top-tier treasure!

However, this ring was clearly no longer useful to Summer Mengying.

Or rather, it was equipment she had discarded, which was why she gave it so casually to Lin Yao.

Having witnessed the generosity of the Rose family's heiress, Lin Yao cleared his throat and then said seriously, “For half a lifetime, I have drifted without a worthy master. If you won’t abandon me, I am willing to swear you as my good big sister!”

“Ha ha ha...” Lin Yao’s sudden change of tone amused Summer Mengying immensely.

The young lady of the Rose family chuckled warmly and reached out to pat Lin Yao’s head, saying, “Alright, alright! Poor little thing, from now on, you’re my good little brother!”

At that moment, Lin Yao finally understood why Summer Mengying always called him “poor little thing.”

He had no decent equipment on his body and was only level eight, forced to eke out a living outside the city.

Even someone like Wang Dongzhe, a second-generation rich kid, was just a small beggar compared to Summer Mengying.

It was clear that Summer Mengying had her own affairs to attend to outside Northwind City today.

After casually “rescuing” Lin Yao, gifting him a present, and leaving half the kill energy with him, she waved from atop her Whirlwind Firewolf and said sweetly, “Good big sister is off! This place isn’t far from Northwind City. Absorb the kill energy quickly and then head back.”

“It’s dangerous outside the city walls; don’t wander out before level 10!” Summer Mengying warned before mounting her massive Whirlwind Firewolf and galloping away like the wind, leaving Lin Yao with nothing but the image of a generous, carefree figure fading into the distance.
