Chapter 69: Why Didn’t Anyone Come to the Gym Today?
After receiving the message Giles sent with his spiritual power, the spirit beast cubs all nodded.
However, after today’s incident, they wouldn’t take the initiative to look for Giles to listen to stories for the time being, at least.
Seeing the spirit beast cubs nod in agreement, Giles felt relieved.
Just as he was about to get up and move around, he lowered his head and stroked the Little Fox on his lap. He couldn’t help but feel curious about the Little Fox.
Since the Little Fox could heal him just now, his left arm must have been bandaged by her.
I wonder how she did it. Are her tiny paws that agile?
“Giles, Little Fox is really amazing! She was the one who asked me to find the bandage in your room. She was also the one who helped you bandage your wound,” the Little Golden Eagle exclaimed when it saw Giles looking down at the Little Fox.
“That’s right. All of us fell unconscious previously, but the Little Fox was the first to wake up. She witnessed the entire process of you saving the Little Golden Eagle.”
“Yes, we even misunderstood the Little Golden Eagle after we woke up. It was all thanks to Little Fox’s help that we cleared up the misunderstanding.”
“Giles, Giles, the bandaging method that Little Fox used is identical to the one you usually use. When did you teach her?”
“…”
When the Little Golden Eagle mentioned that the Little Fox had helped Giles bandage his left arm, it caused a commotion among the spirit beast cubs around them.
After they snapped out of it, they realized how calm and collected the Little Fox was.
As the spirit beast cubs fought to be the first to describe what had happened, Giles also briefly organized his thoughts.
He more or less understood what had happened while he was unconscious.
When Giles looked at the Little Fox on his lap, his eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise.
It had fallen unconscious like the other spirit beast cubs, yet the Little Fox could regain consciousness before the other spirit beast cubs. Giles was not surprised about that.
After all, the Little Fox’s mother, Madam Janice, was a Legend-rank spirit beast that could already transform into a human form.
As the descendant of a Legend-rank spirit beast, although the Little Fox was still only a Bronze-rank spirit beast, her physique and strength should be far above this group of spirit beast cubs.
However, what Giles did not expect was that compared to the group of immature spirit beast cubs in front of him, the Little Fox seemed very mature.
Based on the description of the spirit beast cubs, the Little Fox’s calm and collected way of handling things was completely different from her young cub appearance.
“But previously, I treated her and the other spirit beast cubs equally. Furthermore, I didn’t communicate with her mentally, so I really didn’t have a chance to discover this.”
Thinking of this, Giles, who felt a little ashamed, scratched his head awkwardly.
Madam Janice had entrusted her daughter to him, but he had been treating the Little Fox as a pet all this while.
“I haven’t communicated spiritually with Little Fox recently. I wonder if she will mind.”
Seeing that Giles was merely scratching his head and had no intention of continuing communicating with them, the spirit beast cubs participating in the spiritual communication gradually quietened down.
A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard, and an emerald leaf landed on Giles’ shoulder. Then, it slowly slid onto the Little Fox’s forehead.
There was a short silence, until a familiar yet unexpected voice rang out in Giles’ and the spirit beast cubs’ minds.
“Oh? Why are you guys suddenly not chatting anymore?”
When he heard Little Fox’s voice in his mind, Giles, who was scratching his head, subconsciously looked towards his lap.
He saw the Little Fox on his lap pulling the leaf off her forehead.
Then, she languidly turned around and narrowed her eyes and met his eyes.
“Uh, when did you wake up?”
Hearing Giles’ awkward question, the Little Fox on his lap stretched its limbs.
“Probably while you were taking pictures.”
“In that case, did you receive everything we communicated about?”
“Pretty much.”
Although the Little Fox had already woken up, she was still very happy that Giles was worried that he would disturb her rest and had specially used spiritual communication to communicate with the spirit beast cubs.
In addition, the unexpected situation today had greatly changed her impression of Giles. At that moment, she already regarded Giles as a true friend.
“So you think it’s strange that I know how to bandage a wound?”
Seeing that the Little Fox had taken the initiative to ask this question, Giles didn’t hesitate at all and nodded.
“Did you learn this Beast Tamer’s basic bandaging method from Madam Janice?”
The ‘bandaging method’ that the spirit beast cubs mentioned earlier was actually the basic bandaging method that Beast Tamers had to learn since they were young.
When he learned that the Little Fox knew how to bandage wounds with gauze, Giles immediately thought of her mother, Madam Janice, who had already transformed into a human form.
When the Little Fox heard Giles mention its mother, it communicated with Giles telepathically.
From her message, Giles learned that Madam Janice, who was a Legend-rank spirit beast that advocated peace, would often step forward to mediate the conflict between the ferocious beasts in the Solomon Mountain Range in order to maintain the balance between the various races. If necessary, she would even save some of the ferocious beasts.
After learning this, Giles couldn’t help but sigh.
“No wonder you could clear up the misunderstanding for the Little Golden Eagle so calmly and quickly. At the same time, you also treated the wound on my left arm.”
“Since you mentioned the injury on your left arm, I’ll remind you again.”
The Little Fox stretched out its little paw and pointed at Giles’ bandaged left arm, as she told him the exact effects of the two healing skills she had activated previously.
“Previously, after I used ‘Rapid Treatment’ to stop the bleeding, I used ‘Slow Healing’ to guide the spiritual energy that entered your body so that it wouldn’t damage your body any further.”
“But I can only use these treatment methods on you twice a day. If it exceeds two times, my spiritual energy might cause you harm.”
“Therefore, before you completely absorb the tremendous spiritual energy in your body, it’s best not to do any intense exercises, in case your wounds burst open and cause your spiritual energy to rampage.”
In the face of the Little Fox’s kind reminder, Giles nodded solemnly.
After confirming with the Little Fox that the wound on his left arm had become smaller, Giles slowly got up and carried her and walked out from under the tree.
“Oh? Is it almost noon?”
Giles was shocked to see that he only had a short shadow on the ground.
“In that case, there should be many Beast Tamers waiting outside the door for a long time!”
“I have to hurry and open the door of the gym!”
Giles kept the Little Fox in his arms and the Little Golden Eagle into the space within his tattoos before quickly settling the other spirit beast cubs in various areas of the spirit beast section.
However, when he rushed from the spirit-beast section to the reception area of the gym and opened the door, he found that there was no one outside.
Giles couldn’t help but frown and fall into deep thought.
“Why didn’t anyone come to the gym today?”
