Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When the two arrived at the third floor, Di Lin and Yuan Jie had already brought everyone up, and they all sat at their tables waiting for the waiter to serve their food.

Seeing that Gu Chan's little white fox had suddenly grown so big, Yuan Jie was the first to say in surprise, "Boss, how come your mysterious beast has suddenly grown so big?"

"I was just playing with it downstairs, and I didn't expect it to suddenly transform and become more powerful." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"Congratulations, boss! Not only has the little guy become stronger, but he has also grown so big. You don't have to ride a horse anymore in the future. You can just ride it every day when you go out." Yuan Jie teased with a giggle.

Dilling and everyone else started joking around as well.

Gu Chan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, thinking that Yuan Jie's suggestion was really good.

The white fox was even bigger than a Tibetan mastiff. She would be so cool to ride on it when she went out. Its fur was thick, so it would be much more comfortable to sit on it than on a horse.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan immediately reached out and touched the little white fox's head and said, "Can I ride you when I go out next time?"

[Yes, Master.] The white fox said solemnly.

Gu Chan was stunned when she heard this.

Before the white fox grew up, it spoke like a child, with a rather babyish voice. But now, as it has grown stronger, the voice of it has become much more mature, like the voice of a young man, pleasant and attractive.

This made Gu Chan dote on it even more.

Afterwards, she held the white fox and started chatting with everyone. When the food and wine came, she ate while feeding the white fox, doting on it very much.

The white fox was naturally very happy.

Since childhood, it has treated Gu Chan as a relative. Now that it has grown up and become stronger, it can protect Gu Chan better.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, everyone was almost done eating.

A woman with a proud figure, accompanied by two guards, suddenly walked towards Gu Chan.

Coming to Gu Chan's side, the woman clasped her fists and said, "My dear little brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you would do me the honor."

"Who are you?" Gu Chan tilted her head and looked at the woman and asked.

At the same time, she was looking up at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her.

After taking a look at her, she found that this woman had a very good figure with a curvy figure, and she had an oval face with delicate features. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a great beauty.

She was wearing a white long dress, with an elegant and refined temperament, and with her long black hair draped over her shoulders, she was truly unforgettable at first sight.

The most important thing is that she has a red plum blossom the size of a fingernail tattooed on the corner of her right eye, which adds a touch of charm to her beautiful face.

Look, at this moment, Di Lin and the other eight people in the caravan were all attracted by her and looked at her intently.

The woman smiled and said politely, "Little brother, my surname is Yan, and my given name is Li. I have not yet asked for your full name."

"Please tell me your surname is Gu Chan." Gu Chan clasped his fists and said in return.

"Hiss...Gu...Chan...I seem to have heard of this name somewhere!" Yan Li frowned and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Gu Chan smiled faintly and said, "There are so many people with the same name in the world. I'm afraid the Gu Chan that Miss Yan heard of is not me, the Gu Chan!"

"That's true." Yan Li said with relief.

Then she stopped thinking about it and focused on the matter at hand.

Gu Chan made a gesture to her, inviting her to sit down.

Yan Li was not polite and sat directly opposite Gu Chan and said straight to the point, "Little Brother Gu, this is it. Just now downstairs, I saw your white fox grow up to be so fair and beautiful, and I was very attracted to it. I wonder if you can transfer it to me. No matter how much silver you want, you just need to name a price."

"I'm sorry, Miss Yan, this white fox is my treasure. I won't sell it. Besides, I don't seem to be short of money now." Gu Chan said nonchalantly.

In the past, she might have considered selling the white fox to get some money to improve her life, but now she was not short of money. The emperor had appointed her as an imperial envoy and gave her a salary every month, which was quite considerable.

Besides, she had brought a lot of banknotes with her before she left home. With the money she brought with her, it was enough for her and her subordinates to have enough food and drink for three months without doing anything.

Yan Li was obviously unwilling to give up and continued, "I will offer fifty thousand taels of silver to buy your white fox. This price is considered high for a mysterious beast even in the Jiangnan area."

"Ms. Yan, I'm telling you, I really won't sell it. If you're willing to be friends with me, we can have a drink and have a good chat. If not, please go back! I won't give you any more." Gu Chan said indifferently.

Before Yan Li could say anything, the two guards standing behind her got angry and glared at Gu Chan and shouted coldly.

"Boy, do you know who my young lady is? She is willing to come to you to buy a mysterious beast. That is the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. You are still putting on airs, right?"

"Yes, I advise you to be sensible and sell your mysterious beast to my lady, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

"Oh! What's going on? Are you trying to force a sale? Are you even threatening me?" Gu Chan's face instantly stiffened, and she asked in a cold tone.

Yan Li immediately reached out to stop the two guards, and said with a smile, "Little brother, don't be angry. My two guards are not good at talking. Don't take it seriously. I really want to buy your white fox now. Please do me a favor. As long as you are willing to sell the white fox to me, I will not only give you 50,000 taels of silver, but also treat you as a guest of honor in my house. What do you think?"

"Hey! Miss Yan! I really don't want to sell it, please go back!" Gu Chan said helplessly.

First, she is not short of money now, and second, she does not want to be a guest of honor. In short, she will not sell her precious white fox.

Yan Li's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He looked at Gu Chan and said in a cold voice, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't force you. Little brother, you just need to be more careful in the future."

"No problem, please don't worry, Miss Yan." Gu Chan said coldly.

Yan Li stood up angrily, glared at Gu Chan coldly, then left in a huff with a flick of her sleeves.

Gu Chan didn't care about her at all and continued eating.

Outside the gambling house.

Yan Li came out with two guards and said with a sullen face, "You little brat, you are shameless even though I gave you a chance. You can't blame me for that. You stay here and keep an eye on him. I have never failed to get what I want."

"Yes, Miss." The two guards responded in unison.

Then they quietly returned to the gambling house and hid, secretly watching Gu Chan.

Yan Li had a gloomy face and suppressed his anger before getting on the carriage and leaving.
