Chapter 355: Chapter 212: The Overturned Vinegar Jar! _3

Translator: 549690339

Because Fang Mu and Hu Tao were close, whenever Fang Mu got curious about the Iron-winged Sparrow, Hu Tao would summon it and let Fang Mu fiddle with it however he liked.

This enabled Fang Mu and the Iron-winged Sparrow to form a deep friendship.

The delicious and affordable meals the sparrow ate every day, each different for a week, were all carefully prepared by Fang Mu.

Just for this alone, aside from Hu Tao, Fang Mu had become the sparrow’s most favorite human.

The Iron-winged Sparrow stood almost two meters tall on its hind legs.

In front of Hu Tao, it would naturally bend its knees to interact with her, allowing Hu Tao to touch the crown feathers on its head.

The Iron-winged Sparrow came over to Fang Mu, bending to nuzzle its soft-feathered neck against his and cooed.

From the Iron-winged Sparrow’s cooing, Fang Mu could sense its weakness.

The Sparrow had performed these actions towards Fang Mu several times before, so Fang Mu had gotten used to it.

However, it had unexpectedly upset Xiao, who was in the Destiny Guidebook.

Usually, when Fang Mu played with the guardian beasts of Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, and Yan Wood, Xiao would exhibit a strong possessiveness.

More so when Fang Mu was having such an intimate interaction with Hu Tao’s guardian beast.

Sensing Xiao’s jealousy, Fang Mu couldn’t help but smile to himself.

A beast’s possessiveness toward its beast master reflected the beast master’s status in the beast’s heart.

Fang Mu never doubted his place in Xiao’s heart.

Fang Mu remembered clearly what Xiao once said.

“In Xiao’s eyes, everyone apart from Fang Mu is garbage.”

While using his spiritual power to soothe Xiao, Fang Mu fondly stroked the crown feathers of the Iron-winged Sparrow in response.

This behavior resembled that of a playboy.

As a doctoral student in biology, Fang Mu could draw a precise sketch of a bird’s skeletal structure on a piece of paper within five minutes.

Hence, through Eden Dreamland and Fantasy Shadow, Fang Mu was able to treat the Iron-winged Sparrow and realign its bone structure.

Fang Mu’s Eden Dreamland rank was only Silver Stage, so the healing effect wasn’t great.

However, Fang Mu had not previously hired a private medical assistant in his manor.

She Wan, Lu Xiaoyin, and Yin Nanzhen didn’t possess beasts with healing abilities.

Given the situation, it was impossible to find a doctor at this stage, so Fang Mu had to treat the Iron-winged Sparrow himself.

After eating the Sleep Moss, the Iron-winged Sparrow fell asleep instantly.

Fang Mu had long noticed that the Iron-winged Sparrow was very cunning.

Perhaps out of fear of pain, the Sparrow not only ate two bites of Sleep Moss, but they were large bites.

Fang Mu anticipated that the Iron-winged Sparrow would sleep soundly for at least two days.

Fang Mu squatted down and carefully examined the Sparrow’s wings.

Fang Mu found that the Sparrow’s wing injuries were more severe than anticipated.

Luckily, apart from the wing bone, the other bones were only fractured, not shattered.

Most of the tendons were only scraped.

The few tendons that were cut would grow back once the wing bone healed and wouldn’t affect the Sparrow’s mobility or reaction speed.

Hu Tao watched wide-eyed as Fang Mu constantly manipulated the Sparrow’s wings.

The sleeping Sparrow, lying on the luminous grass beneath their feet, looked pitiful like a fish on a cutting board.

Hu Tao not only closed her eyes, unable to bear watching the Sparrow suffer.

If it were anyone else who wasn’t a qualified therapist doing this to the Sparrow, Hu Tao would never agree.

After an hour, sweat began to bead on Fang Mu’s forehead.

As a Defensive Beast Conqueror, the Iron-winged Sparrow relied mainly on its wings for defense and its bone and tendons were tough.

Much force was needed to manipulate them back into place.

Hu Tao, seeing Fang Mu sweating, hurriedly took a tissue from her pocket, walked over to him, and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Yin Nanzhen, Lu Xiaoyin, and She Wan all stood guard in the main hall of the manor.

In case of danger, the three could protect Fang Mu immediately.

Watching Hu Tao interact with Fang Mu, Yin Nanzhen asked Lu Xiaoyin in a low voice.

“Brother Lu, do you think she could be Madam Young?”

“If she is, we would need to start building a good relationship with her!”

Since getting acquainted with Lu Xiaoyin, Yin Nanzhen finally found someone he could chat with.

Lu Xiaoyin was less powerful than him and was Fang Mu’s butler.

Winning over someone less powerful but of higher status was often less stressful than winning over someone more powerful.

Yin Nanzhen was used to Lu Xiaoyin’s kind side, but he didn’t expect Lu Xiaoyin to give him a stern warning as soon as he finished speaking.

“Nan Zhen, be careful not to be smart for the sake of it and end up shooting yourself in the foot. Remember that you are Young Master’s carriage driver, and fulfilling your duties well is enough.”

“Don’t think about those messy things. Those aren’t things you should be concerned about!”

“Unless the Young Master personally tells you that Miss Hu Tao is the lady of the manor.”

“You should just think of Miss Hu Tao as the Young Master’s classmate.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for not warning you in advance if anything goes wrong!”

Having said his piece, Lu Xiaoyin turned to help Fang Mu make a cup of Blood Replenishing Tea.

He also added some spirit material to the tea to help recover energy.

Once Fang Mu finished treating the Iron-winged Sparrow, this cup of tea would come in handy.

Yin Nanzhen thought that by asking Lu Xiaoyin first instead of doing things behind his back, he was showing good intentions.

But he didn’t expect to be warned by Lu Xiaoyin instead.

Yin Nanzhen was a little confused by what Lu Xiaoyin meant.

Seeing the puzzled look on Yin Nanzhen’s face, She Wan, in exasperation, came over and scolded him.

“The advice I gave you before, you didn’t take it to heart at all!”

“The Young Master doesn’t treat you as a servant, but you must be clear about your identity as a servant.”

“It’s presumptuous for a servant to try to please the master’s friends and scrutinize the master’s interpersonal relationships.”

“Also, considering the Young Master’s nature, how could he be bothered with love affairs?”
