These Familiars Are Strange

I was completely caught off guard when Mu Gong said this.

After all, I never expected him to say something like this.

At the same time, I couldn't help wondering which one he was referring to.

I didn't just have two familiars, I had three of them.

Was he referring to the Scavenger Rabbit or the Astral White Tiger?

While I was thinking about this, Mu Gong suddenly said, "There's no need to deny it, I can feel the natural elemental energy coming from you. It's not something that normal people will be able to sense, so there's no need for you to worry about someone else finding out about it. You would have to have abilities on the same level as me to sense this."

Since he was talking about elemental energy, it should be referring to…

After a moment of silence, I called out the Astral White Tiger.

When it appeared, it came out in my hands.

It wasn't that I was being cautious and was keeping it close, it was because the Astral White Tiger was asleep when I pulled it out.

It even kept sleeping even though I summoned it from the familiar space.

With the way that it was sleeping, it really didn't seem like it was about to wake up soon. It seemed like it was even capable of sleeping through the end of the world if it were to happen all of a sudden.

That was just how deep the Astral White Tiger's sleeping face looked.

But it soon woke up and it didn't wake up naturally. The way that the Astral White Tiger woke up was as if it had been scared by something as it even jumped after waking up.

The way that it looked at Mu Gong who approached to look at it was as if the Astral White Tiger was afraid of him.

A faint smile appeared on my face when I saw the Astral White Tiger burying itself in my chest, almost as if it was trying to hide from Mu Gong who was looking at the Astral White Tiger closely.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see that there were people looking at the Astral White Tiger with strange looks.

The appearance of Astral White Tiger was that of a little white kitten and it was very cute looking. For girls that liked cute things, it would be hard for them to defend themselves against the looks of this Astral White Tiger.

After looking at it for a bit, Mu Gong suddenly said while laughing, "Not bad, not bad. As expected of someone that I want to take as my disciple."

I raised a brow to look at Mu Gong since I had no idea what he was talking about.

But Mu Gong just seemed like he was very pleased with whatever he saw from the Astral White Tiger. Though the fact that he was laughing like this actually scared the Astral White Tiger even more that it buried itself deeper in my chest.

When he was finally done laughing, Mu Gong suddenly said, "It's actually a growth type familiar. Even though it seems like a weak 9th Class Low Grade Familiar right now, as long as it's able to develop its elemental energy abilities, it will become a much stronger familiar."

"Growth type?" I asked in a confused voice.

Other than Mu Gong, I could see that both An Long and the Huo Couple seemed to react to this.

It seemed like this was a term that they were familiar with and it had a large impact on them.

Mu Gong gave a simple nod as he explained, "It means that your familiar is the type that will continue to develop its power. I don't know what the limit of a growth type is since there are different growth types out there, but there's no doubt that it will grow up to become a powerful familiar if it is allowed to grow."

I had a few doubts about this because of the appearance of the Astral White Tiger, but thinking about the skills that it had…I couldn't help thinking that Mu Gong was right.

As if it could sense that it was being looked down on, the Astral White Tiger suddenly took its head out of my chest and stood proudly in my hand. It raised its head up as if it was showing off how powerful it was.

But it just made it seem cute rather than powerful since this Astral White Tiger was still a child.

When he finished explaining, Mu Gong suddenly waved his hand and there was this bead that appeared in it.

The moment that this bead appeared, it seemed like the Astral White Tiger was drawn to it with the way that the Astral White Tiger turned its head to look at the bead. With the way that its eyes were wide open as it looked at the bead, it seemed like it was very drawn to it.

At the same time, the drool that was coming from its mouth didn't help its case.

Mu Gong wasn't offended when he saw this.

He even had a smile on his face seeing the reaction of the Astral White Tiger before slowly bringing the bead forward for the Astral White Tiger.

The Astral White Tiger didn't hesitate to jump out for it, but I grabbed it before it could take the bead with its mouth.

It turned back to look at me with a pitiful look as if it was asking me why I was stopping it, but I was looking at Mu Gong.

With the same smile, Mu Gong said, "It's fine, this is my present for you. This is a special bead that's filled with wind elemental energy. This will help your familiar develop since it has the ability to control wind elemental energy. With this, your familiar will become much stronger than it currently is."

Then after a few seconds, he felt like he had to add in, "That is after it digests this bead."

Since he had said all of this, I didn't hold onto the Astral White Tiger that tightly.

Though there was a part of me that was hesitating.

What decided it was the way that Mu Gong looked at me.

It really didn't seem like he was planning to hurt me, so I decided to let the Astral White Tiger eat the bead like it wanted to.

The Astral White Tiger didn't hesitate to open its mouth and scoop up the bead.

The moment that it entered its mouth, it started sucking on the wind bead like it was some kind of jawbreaker. But at the same time, I could tell that there was wind elemental energy that seemed to be filling the Astral White Tiger.

It seemed that Mu Gong had been right about this.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking of the Gem of Thunder that I got previously.

It's similar to the bead that Mu Gong gave the Astral White Tiger, so if I were to give to it as well…

After the Astral White Tiger swallowed the bead, Mu Gong suddenly said, "Very good, now I've helped you develop a bit. That means that a bond has been formed between us and you're now my in name disciple."

"Eh?" I was surprised by what he said, but it didn't seem like Mu Gong was going to take back what he said.

Well, an in name disciple wasn't a bad thing.

That was what I thought as I looked at the wide smile that was on Mu Gong's face.
