Beast Taming Begins with Involuting Pets

Although Meng Wenbin affirmed her talent, regarding the Glazed Horned Deer and the dragon egg, Meng Wenbin said that if she wanted a spiritual pet, she would have to wait until she officially joined the research institute and signed a "contract of sale".

The boss's... one can be given away, and almost everyone in the institute will set off firecrackers to celebrate.

No matter how Lin Manman expressed that she could sign the "indenture" on the spot, Meng Wenbin refused coldly.

He insisted on letting her join the institute after publicly accepting her as his apprentice.

After much thought, Lin Manman could only conclude that the current Spirit Beast Research Institute might not be a one-man show by Meng Wenbin.

And letting her join as his disciple was to give her an extra layer of identity protection.

I don’t know if it was Lin Manman’s illusion, ever since she told Meng Wenbin that she could contract two more spirit beasts.

Meng Wenbin seemed to be hesitant to say something to her several times.

But later on, she was ordered around by Gao Zhixian and had no time to care about these things.

He didn't say anything until she went back home on Meng Wenbin's Feilong in the evening.

After being bullied by Gao Zhixian and the boss for a whole day at the research institute, Lin Manman was about to go to the training ground behind the villa after dinner to get revenge for the suffering she had endured that day, when she happened to meet Lin Ruochen and Hu Niu training.

Just now when they were eating, Ms. Qin said that Lin Ruochen had been training here with Hu Niu all day, and even the meals were delivered to them.

Lin Manman approached slowly with interest, wanting to see how her brother trained Hu Niu.

But when she saw the situation on the training ground, she was shocked.

Lin Ruochen was seen standing upright in the center of the training ground, while Hu Niu was lying on the ground with her hands and knees prostrated, seeming to be trembling slightly.

Lin Ruochen had her back to Lin Manman at the moment, so she couldn't see her expression, but her heart was beating wildly, and she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with the scene.

She didn't care about anything else and ran up quickly to check on Lin Ruochen's condition.

Lin Ruochen noticed her approaching and looked towards her. The moment he saw her, a smile appeared on his handsome face which was expressionless.

"It's Manman, you guys are back already? Huh? It's so late already? No wonder you're so hungry."

He seemed to realize that the sky was gradually getting dark.

The moment Lin Manman appeared, Hu Niu quietly hid behind Lin Manman, and there was a bit more timidity in her eyes when she looked at Lin Ruochen.

Lin Manman had a bad feeling in her heart, and she looked at Lin Ruochen's face carefully.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Ruochen was confused when he saw Lin Manman looking at him seriously.

"Brother...what were you doing just now?"

Lin Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "Train with Hu Niu. Although Hu Niu will not have any bad thoughts under the control of the ban, she is also unwilling to cooperate with the training."

"So I was thinking about how to make it more obedient, and then I got distracted while thinking about it..."

Lin Manman took a look and found that Hu Niu no longer had the arrogant attitude she had last night.

Hu Niu's talent is to read minds, but even if she can read Lin Ruochen's bad thoughts, it is impossible for Hu Niu, who is at level four, to be so scared.

Obviously something else happened in between, but the look on her face when she looked at Lin Ruochen didn't seem like he was lying, and he didn't seem to realize what had just happened between her and Hu Niu.

The more Lin Manman thought about it, the gloomier she felt.

"Brother, you haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you go back and eat first, and Hu Niu will stay here and train with my pet." Lin Manman wanted to send Lin Ruochen away so that she could ask Hu Niu about the whole story.

Lin Ruochen didn't seem to notice anything wrong. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

"That's good. Maybe if it stays with your pet, it will be able to accept its identity as a pet sooner."

Looking at Lin Ruochen's back as he turned and left, Lin Manman observed it through the system and did not find anything wrong.

However, she did remember a similar situation. In her previous life, there was a mental illness called schizophrenia.

It means that two or more different personalities are formed in one person's body. These personalities are unaware of each other's existence, and the accompanying symptoms are trance and hallucinations.

Since Lin Ruochen woke up, Lin Manman has found him in a trance more than once, and these symptoms seem to match...

But that shouldn’t be the case… Lin Ruochen’s first occupation is a mage, and a fourth-level mage at that.

I've never heard of a mage who cultivates spiritual power getting mentally ill...

Unable to figure it out, she gave up and thought about it alone, and summoned all her pets.

Then they surrounded Hu Niu.

"Hu Niu, don't be afraid. Sister has something to ask you." Lin Manman squatted down and looked at Hu Niu who was lying on the ground.

Pippi, who was watching in a daze, had already opened up her talent for mental pollution to Huniu at her suggestion.

With the interference of mental pollution, Hu Niu's emotions quickly calmed down. She finally got up from the ground and changed to a squatting position.

Before asking, Lin Manman specifically instructed Ruyi to stuff two candies into the boss's mouth to prevent him from saying anything bad.

"Hu Niu, what did you just discover? Why do you look so scared?" Lin Manman's voice softened.

After being frightened, Huniu was further affected by Pippi's mental pollution.

"Ouch..."

Xiao Qi spontaneously flew to Lin Manman's side to act as a translator, "嘤嘤..."

"Ouch, ouch!"

“Boo, boo, boo!”

After Lin Manman understood Xiaoqi's meaning, her brows gradually furrowed. According to Huniu, she and Lin Ruochen had a disagreement during training.

Hu Niu was unwilling to follow Lin Ruochen's command and was in a stalemate with him, but suddenly a very powerful soul fluctuation emanated from Lin Ruochen's body, which was transmitted to the depths of her soul through the contract.

It felt as if its soul was being stared at by something terrible, and in front of that thing, its soul was completely out of its control.

Lin Manman's inner speculation therefore shifted from split personality to another terrible speculation.

There seems to be such a plot in some novels in the previous life, where a person's soul is replaced by another person, which seems to be called possession of body.

However, taking over another's body would not leave behind one's own soul. But based on the time she had spent with Lin Ruochen, she was sure that it was indeed her biological brother.

Even if one can read the memory of the original owner's soul by possessing another's body, there is no way to imitate it exactly in all the details.

Both the previous and the next speculations have some consistency, but neither of them is tenable.

She really couldn't figure it out, so she left the pets to Flathead Brother and Yinyue, and left Tiger Girl to the boss.

In order to make the eldest brother behave himself, he not only flattered him a lot, but also promised to take him to buy desserts of new flavors tomorrow.

There's no other way, because this guy is the only one present who has the strength to compete with Hu Niu, and he's smart, so he'll definitely notice anything wrong at the first moment.

After arranging the spirit pets, Lin Manman quietly returned to the villa and went through the back door to Meng Wenbin’s study on the second floor.

At this time, he usually either handles official business here or practices here.

"Teacher, can I come in?" Lin Manman knocked on the door gently.

Only when she heard Meng Wenbin ask her to come in did she open the door and go in.

"What's wrong? Are there any problems with the training of your spirit pet?" Meng Wenbin put down the documents in his hand and looked at her.

Lin Manman organized her words and told Meng Wenbin what she had just seen and her own speculations.

"Teacher... Is my brother in danger?"

Meng Wenbin listened to her quietly before speaking calmly, "Your speculation is very interesting, but don't worry. Your brother's mental strength is very stable, and there is no possibility of mental illness."

"But his soul power is indeed not very stable. It should be because the energy of the life fountain you used is too strong. He has not yet fully absorbed the medicinal power."

"You said that his spirit pet felt like its soul was being controlled. Could it be that he accidentally released his innate ability?"

Lin Ruochen awakened his second profession and also his second talent, soul control. However, he didn't know whether it was because his soul power was not yet completely stable or because this talent was too powerful, he had not been able to use it successfully.

Lin Manman thought about it along this line of thought and it seemed that this possibility was indeed the highest.

Because her brother's [diluted fountain of life] was too overbearing and had not been fully absorbed, his soul power was always in a fluctuating and unstable state.

The instability of his soul power may also be the reason why he cannot release his second talent normally.

The scene she saw today was most likely when he was in a trance and by chance he successfully released his innate ability.

As for the result...it was obviously a failure, and Hu Niu showed no signs of being controlled at all.

And the culprit for this result... maybe... possibly... seems to be her? !

This is embarrassing...

I hope her brother doesn’t come to his senses!
