Chapter 98: Chapter 98 - 84 The Story of the Little Horse_l

Translator: 549690339

“Uncle Xu, it seems to be different from other horse beasts, doesn’t it?”

Xu Ran pointed at the little black horse quietly feeding itself when he noticed an exhalation from Xu Kun, as if there was a special story behind it, and raised a question.

“Indeed, it is different.” Xu Kun nodded slightly, “It seems Boss Xu has been noticing it for a while.”

“I noticed it halfway through.” Xu Ran nodded, “It seemed not to be using any skills. Is this how it trains itself?”

“Speaking of which…” Something dawned on Xu Ran, “According to what you just said, Uncle Xu, even if the horse beast doesn’t use any other skills, it shouldn’t be so exhausted after just a lap with the skill ‘tenacity’, right?”

“Yes, a normal horse-type pet beast wouldn’t be like that.” Xu Kun walked over, holding the little horse in place, and gently touched the mane that had just grown on its neck, “But what if this little guy is not a Transcendent Being?”

“Hmm?” Xu Ran blinked.

He scrutinized the little horse before him and then seemed to understand.

Because all the other horses were Transcendent Beings, Xu Ran mistakenly thought there were no ordinary horses on the base.

The little horse in front of him didn’t show any traces of transcendent power fluctuation. It was just an ordinary creature, which was why it had performed so much worse than its peers.

“Uncle Xu, you also keep ordinary horses on your base.” Xu Ran laughed sheepishly, “I nearly didn’t recognize it.”

“There has never been any ordinary horse on the base.” Xu Kun shook his head slightly, “The appearance of this little fellow, was accidental.”

“Accidental?” Xu Ran became more surprised.

What kind of accident could cause an ordinary horse to appear in a base that breeds horse-type pet beasts?

“Indeed, it was accidental.” Xu Kun nodded slightly, looking at the little horse who peacefully accepted his touch, and a complex look appeared in his eyes, “It’s the offspring of Chasing Wind.”

“Chasing Wind’s offspring?” The pitch of Xu Ran’s voice rose a little and visible surprise appeared on his face, “Why is the offspring of a Transcendent Being an ordinary creature?”

“Could its mother be an ordinary horse?” Xu Ran speculated.

“No, its mother is also a horse-type pet beast.” Xu Kun shook his head and pointed at the black unicorn in the distance, who had been watching from afar, “That’s Black Sky, its mother.”

Xu Ran was even more puzzled.

He knew that Transcendent Beings have a much higher difficulty producing offspring compared to ordinary creatures, but it was baffling for him that two Transcendent Beings mated and their offspring turned out to be an ordinary creature.

“The reproduction of Transcendent Beings has unique rules,” Xu Kun spoke softly, “If offsprings are from different races, they will inherit the stronger race of the parents and will not produce a new one.”

“If the strength of the two parents is similar, the offspring will randomly inherit one of their races. Under such circumstances, there is also a small chance of an anomaly.”

“That is, the offspring does not inherit either parent’s race.”

“This is the case with this one.” Xu Kun gently patted the little horse’s head, stood up, and said, “Even though it can’t catch up to its peers, since it grew up in the atmosphere of the base, it has developed a competitive nature.”

“Even if it falls several laps behind its peers, it will give its all, running until it is exhausted.”

Hearing Xu Kun’s explanation, Xu Ran’s face couldn’t help but reveal a moved expression.

So this stubborn little horse had such an extraordinary origin.

He couldn’t help but approach and tentatively reached out his hand.

The little horse glanced at him and the Ziyun at his side, not fearfully standing its ground.

“Doesn’t it fear Transcendent Beings?” Xu Ran asked.

“Although it’s not a Transcendent Being, it’s the offspring of two Transcendent Beings. It has a better constitution than ordinary horses and doesn’t fear the majesty of Transcendent Beings.”

“I see…” Xu Ran gently stroked the mane of the little horse, “Does it have a name?”

“Yes, it’s called Star.” Xu Kun smiled slightly, “It has a little hobby. On cloudless nights, it likes to look at the stars alone in the sky, so I gave it such a name.”

“It sounds nice.” Xu Ran nodded seriously.

“Meow-”

Ziyun came beside Star and curiously circled around it.

Perhaps because it itself was once an ordinary creature, it had a deeper understanding of the insurmountable gap between ordinary creatures and Transcendent Beings, which made it respect Star’s perseverance even more.

Living with several horse-type pet beasts every day while being unable to truly integrate itself was probably very painful for this guy.

Thinking of this, Ziyun couldn’t help but stretch out its claw, wanting to pat Star on the back as a form of comfort.

“Neigh!”

Star didn’t understand Ziyun’s goodwill, and the unfamiliar contact startled it, causing it to spring up from the ground, retreating a few steps cautiously. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Meow?”

Ziyun retracted its awkwardly hanging paw, then settled down and scratched the back of its neck with its hind paw to ease the embarrassment.

“Neigh-”

A long whinny exuding imposing power came from not far away.

Chasing Wind seemed to have noticed due to Star’s exclamation just now. It and Star’s mother, Black Sky, walked over side by side, approaching in front of Star.

The family of three huddled together, seemingly discussing something in a low voice. After a moment, Chasing Wind lowered its head and bumped Star with its forehead, easily pushing it in front of Xu Ran. Then it stared at Xu Ran and made a majestic noise..
