Wei Zhiâs job for them wasnât very complicated. It was just like working in a pet shop, and Wang Zhen and Liu Qingyi got the hang of it very quickly. Wei Zhi had intended to hire some assistants to help him before, but the experience such external helpers had was patchy and they wouldnât stay for very long.
Taming spirit beasts was a matter of technique. As a pet trainer, Wei Zhi naturally had his own unique skills. Nowadays, some part-time workers would learn these methods before they quit and disappeared to start anew elsewhere. Wei Zhi didnât want this group of people to profit off him.
In the end, Wei Zhi was utterly delighted when Wang Ling introduced two individuals to him.
Wang Zhen and Liu Qingyi had far more experience than Wei Zhi had imagined. They didnât need special instructions from him at all. Instead, it was Wei Zhi who learned new things from them.
âYouâve raised spirit beasts before?â When he saw how incredibly proficient Wang Zhen and Liu Qingyi this pair of foes were, Wei Zhi was instantly curious about their identities.
âYou can think of it that way, but Iâve never raised such small ones.â Wang Zhenâs face was as calm as an ancient well.
âSo you raisedâ¦?â Wei Zhi asked.
Liu Qingyi answered, âHis family runs a fishery.â
âA fishery?â In his heart, Wei Zhi ran through the types of large spirit beasts that could be raised in a fishery â it could only be something like a spirit whale. There was a Water King Whale at the Pet Trainers Guild, but because of its massive size, it was being reared in the western sea, where the Pet Trainers Guild had a base for raising spirit beasts.
âRaising whales certainly isnât easy⦠how unexpected, that you have experience in raising whales on your own.â Wei Zhi was instantly reassured. Not just anyone could raise cetacean spirit beasts, which would die if they werenât cared for well enough.
Wang Zhen sighed.
After all, pet trainers in the world below knew nothing about them.
However, Wang Zhen and Liu Qingyi both believed that there had to be a reason Wang Ling had arranged for them to work here.
This was an era in which a person could become a True Venerated just by eating broccoli⦠Following Ling Zhenrenâs arrangements could only be a good thing.
Wei Zhi was a person from the world below, but as long as they worked hard, they might comprehend something new through him!
So Wang Zhen didnât plan to hide anything from Wei Zhi. He shook his head and said outright, âItâs not whales that I raise.â
Wei Zhi already felt out of his depth, and asked with a puzzled face, âNot whales?â
Wang Zhen: âI raise kun.â
Wei Zhi: â???â

In the evening on the same day that Wang Zhen and Liu Qingyi got the job, a delivery truck from the cultivation department store in the city center drove up to the gate of the Wang familyâs small villa, carrying a large number of goods that Mother Wang had bought today.
âMadam, this is the inventory list of your goods; please check and sign for it.â The little delivery brother stood at the gate with a big smile on his face.
For the cultivation department store, this was a rare big customer. The night shift delivery fee was based on a percentage of the total amount of goods. The commission was only a very small percentage, but if they received a huge order, it was simply a huge profit for them!
The deliveries were randomly assigned by the system, and the delivery little brother felt very lucky.
After Mother Wang checked the goods and made sure that nothing was missing, she gave a very reasonable evaluation of the delivery: five stars.
The little brother bowed very politely. âCultivation department store staff number 193, Qin Zong, thanks you for your evaluation! I look forward to seeing madam next time!â
For some reason, Wang Ling thought the name sounded a little familiar 1 â¦

Mother Wang had indeed bought quite a number of things this time. At home, the cooking condiments had all been replaced with those specially for pregnant women. In addition, Mother Wang had bought a lot of baby clothes. She didnât know if the baby in her belly was a little brother or sister, so she had chosen neutral styles which wouldnât be too strange whether they were worn by a boy or a girl.
After using a storage pouch to bring in the goods from the truck, Mother Wang took them out one by one in the living room and started to admire her spoils from her afternoon shopping spree.
Distracted by the sounds below, Father Wang couldnât focus on typing. When he went downstairs, he saw the objects spread out on the floor like at a street vendorâs stall.
One monthâs worth of his earnings⦠goneâ¦
âThereâs no need for so many thingsâ¦â Father Wang looked at the floor, hands on his hips. âSome of these might be impulse buys⦠I remember the cultivation department store will refund goods within three days of purchaseâ¦â
âWhat refund? All these are necessary!â Mother Wang rolled her eyes at Father Wang. âWhen we had a baby for the first time, we were inexperienced. After I had Ling Ling, Iâd always wondered why he couldnât be normal like other kids, and instead had unusual gifts⦠Now I understand.â
Father Wang and Wang Ling: â???â
Mother Wang: âIt must be because we didnât give him enough prenatal education back then!â
Father Wang and Wang Ling: ââ¦â
Mother Wang: âSometimes, the comprehensive development of virtue, intelligence, physique, and culture should start in the womb. When I was pregnant with Ling Ling, I always felt that we didnât communicate enough, which led to his bad temper after he was born. What if we had helped correct him earlier on in the womb, even with just a bit of psychological counseling? He might have come out a normal childâ¦â
Wang Ling: ââ¦â
It had to be said that Mother Wang was truly doing a lot to prepare for the birth of her second child.
This was clear from this âprenatal educationâ segment.
And all of Mother Wangâs hard work was in order to avoid giving birth to yet another âtime bombââ¦
âLook at this. Itâs a magic weapon I specially bought from the baby section of the cultivation department store.â Mother Wang picked up a pair of earphones from among the objects laid out on the floor. It still had a price tag on it, and Father Wang sucked in a cold breath at the string of zeros⦠These earphones alone were already a weekâs worth of his earnings!
âWhat is thisâ¦â
âPrenatal education earphones.â Reading the instruction manual, Mother Wang placed one earphone to her belly, and put the other in her own ear to demonstrate. âThis way, youâll be able to hear the baby speak inside the belly.â
âHoney, youâre only a few days pregnant⦠Itâs just an embryoâ¦â
âSo what? Embryos have biological waves too!â
ââ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe best thing about these earphones is that it can translate biological waves on the spot. The earphones will turn whatever we want to say into a biological wave, which is then transmitted into the belly, so we can communicate with the baby!â Mother Wang smiled and said, âHow about we give it a name first? Ling Ling, what do you think?â
A nameâ¦
Chin in hand, Wang Ling thought very hard.
âNuan.
âWang Nuan.â
Wang Ling opened his mouth.
