Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

The woman walked up to Gu Chan and reached out to push away the black hair that was blocking her forehead, revealing her face.

Gu Chan looked up and was stunned.

This woman is so beautiful!

She has a pointed oval face with delicate features. There is a red plum blossom the size of a fingernail imprinted in the middle of her eyebrows. She is truly a great beauty!

Gu Chan couldn't help but say, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

"Haha...you have such a sweet mouth." The woman said with a giggle.

After saying that, she reached out and stroked Gu Chan's cheek, a look of doting appearing on her pretty face.

Gu Chan came back to her senses and said, "Sister, my name is Gu Chan, I haven't asked you what your name is yet!"

"My name is Lao Mei. I am a sword spirit now, and I used to be the wife of King Yan." Lao Mei said with a smile.

"King Yan? Who is this?" Gu Chan asked puzzledly.

"He is the most powerful beast tamer hundreds of years ago, and the ancestor of the Yan family." Lao Mei explained.

Gu Chan's eyes widened in shock, and she realized that the beautiful woman in front of her was actually the wife of the legendary Beast Tamer who lived hundreds of years ago.

So, isn't she also the ancestor of the Yan family? Without her, there wouldn't be so many generations of the Yan family!

After understanding this, Gu Chan quickly stood up straight, clasped her fists and bowed to her, "Hello, senior, I didn't expect that I could meet you again after hundreds of years. It is really my great honor!"

"Okay, you're welcome. Let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." Lao Mei said softly.

Then she reached out and took Gu Chan's little hand, leading her to sit on a flat, broken wooden board in front.

Gu Chan held Lao Mei's hand, but could not feel the warmth in her hand. Instead, she felt an icy coolness, like the cold air from a refrigerator freezing her hands.

Pulling his hand back, Gu Chan asked in confusion, "Senior, what do you mean by you are now a sword spirit?"

"Back then, in order to better control the mysterious beast, my husband used meteorites from outer space to forge two beast-taming swords, one named Mother Sword and the other named Son Sword. After he passed away, the Mother Sword was given to me, and the Son Sword was given to the descendants of the Yan family. Later, in order to control the dragon and prevent it from wreaking havoc on the world, I brought the Mother Sword into its body and stabbed it into its stomach to seal it." Lao Mei narrated quietly, her face full of memories.

Gu Chan nodded repeatedly after listening.

Lao Mei continued, "Do you see the skeleton over there? That is my skeleton. I did not choose to leave after I came in. After I died, my remaining soul entered the mother sword of the Beast Taming Divine Sword and turned into a sword spirit, continuing to suppress the dragon for my husband."

"So that's how it is! Senior, you are truly great. I admire you so much." Gu Chan gave Lao Mei a thumbs up.

Lao Mei shook her head and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Gu Chan said softly, "Senior, don't blame yourself. It's not entirely your fault that the dragon is causing chaos now."

"It's my responsibility. I was so focused on suppressing the dragon that I neglected to teach my descendants, which led to the Yan family becoming weaker and weaker with each generation. This time the dragon was causing trouble because a descendant of the Yan family opened the seal on the sub-sword with their blood, which in turn affected the mother sword and controlled the dragon to cause trouble." Lao Mei explained the reasons why the dragon was causing trouble.

All of Gu Chan's doubts were resolved, and she finally understood why the dragon suddenly caused trouble in the Jiangnan area.

There is no doubt that Yan Li came back to Jiangnan not just to participate in the Jiangnan Poetry Festival. Her real purpose was probably to take away the Beast Taming Sword and return to Kyoto to help the prince control the dragon.

Why is she so sure?

The reason is very simple, that is, all the members of the Yan family are dead, and now only Yan Li is still alive. She is the only one who has the ability to activate the Beast Taming Sword and help the prince control the dragon.

Thinking of all this, Gu Chan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Senior, there is something I have to tell you, but I hope you are mentally prepared and don't be sad after hearing it."

"Just tell me! I'm mentally prepared." Lao Mei said with a faint smile.

"Before, the Yan family was tragically wiped out. Dozens of people were not only killed overnight, but even their bodies were burnt. Only your only descendant, Yan Li, survived and escaped back to Kyoto. I suspect that it was she who took away the Beast Taming Sword Zijian and helped the prince control the dragon to cause chaos." Gu Chan said.

After listening to this, Lao Mei's face turned stiff and she said nothing.

She really didn't expect that the Yan family was so high-spirited and prosperous back then, but hundreds of years later, the Yan family had fallen to this point and was even tragically wiped out.

One can imagine how bitter she felt at this moment.

After a long silence, she asked, "Then do you know who wiped out my Yan family?"

"I don't know about this. I also sent people to investigate before, but we still couldn't find the real culprit. However, based on the wounds examined by the coroner, the knife wounds on their bodies were all caused by the swords of the prince's secret guards. It is possible that the prince ordered it, but Yan Li is the prince's concubine. There is no reason for the prince to kill her entire family, and she still helps him so loyally! This confuses me." Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

Anyway, until now, the tragic massacre of the Yan family has made her feel helpless, and she really can't figure out what is hidden behind it.

Lao Mei was quite sober and said coldly, "It seems that the only way to find Yan Li, the only one still alive, is to find out the reason."

"I thought so too, but she is in Kyoto now, and I can't go to Kyoto. After all, the dragon has caused the Jiangnan area to be flooded. I have to find a way to solve this problem first and protect the millions of people in the Jiangnan area." Gu Chan said helplessly.

"So, you are now the leader of the Jiangnan area?" Lao Mei said in surprise.

Gu Chan nodded and said, "Yes! I have no choice but to be pushed by them to fight against the prince. I am quite helpless to say this. This is not my intention."

"At such a young age, you have such skills, which is enough to prove that you are indeed capable! I am also optimistic about you. How about this! I will help you subdue the dragon, and then you will help me find out the truth about the Yan family massacre. What do you think?" Lao Mei suggested.

Gu Chan agreed quickly, "That's great! I couldn't ask for more! You don't know, last night in order to deal with the dragon, I asked three pure-blooded spirit beasts to come as reinforcements, but they were all helpless against it."

"The Jiaolong is only one step away from becoming a divine beast. Not to mention three spirit beasts, even a few more would not be its match." Lao Mei shook her head.

Gu Chan stuck out her tongue awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

But now she was glad to meet a good man like Lao Mei, and now she understood that the mysterious power that drove her into the water last night came from the sword spirit Lao Mei.

As for the faint cry for help she heard in the water last night, it naturally came from the dragon. After all, it was also controlled, and it certainly didn't want to stir up trouble and cause chaos in the Jiangnan area.
