Chương 128: Jade Crystal Rabbits
"Nix, are you sure about signing an equal contract with them? They might seem like docile creatures, but they are still demon beasts in the end." Nightin told Phoenix, hoping to change her mind.
"But Night, please... Don't you find them extremely cute? It would be difficult to find such a pair again in the future." Phoenix didn't back down as expected, but instead tried to play cute and change Nightin's mindset.
Nightin was about to decline her, but couldn't bear to in the end and asked "Do you perhaps have any idea on how to coax them into an equal contract?"
[Timed quest has been activated (due to your choice to help Nix in the end), help Phoenix to sign an contract with the Jade Crystal Rabbits, rewards might be increased depending on the type of contract signed.]
It's not that Nightin didn't what to help Phoenix, but because he knows just how difficult it is to sign an equal contract.
There are five types of contract in this world. The first being the force enslavement contract where the demon beast only holds hostility towards its master, loyalty is nothing but a joke in this contract.
The second would be the benefit contract where the demon beasts don't hold any loyalty or hostility towards its master, the only reason it serves is for the promised benefits after the deed is done.
The third contract would be the equal contract which Phoenix is trying to achieve. The demon beasts and its master would coexist together as equals, friendship would exist and the level of friendship, will be .
The fourth contract would be the loyalty contract where the demon beast will swear its loyalty upon its master. The demon beast would be restricted to little freedom and would fulfill all given duties unless its life is threatened in the process.
The fifth and final contract only exists in the legends. The contract of souls. In this contract, things are believed to be full of mysteriousness, every case recorded in the legends are unique and only lesser than 10 such contracts have taken place since the birth of the cultivation era.
Scanning through his given options, he knows that his best shot at it would be helping Phoenix to sign an equal contract of loyalty contract.
Turning around to face Phoenix, he asked "How do you plan on approaching those Jade Crystal Rabbits though?"
Phoenix hesitated for a moment and was about to say "I don't know." But memories of beast taming suddenly flooded into her mind as she instinctively said "I have the full concept of beast taming in my mind for some reason."
Nightin pondered for a moment upon hearing about this before telling her "That's possible, you were the Divine sword who followed the Phoenix Ancestor after all, you having seen him tame a few demon beasts should be the reason for this unexpected gift."
"But you were the one who awakened me." Phoenix catched on. "If not for you, I would at best be some material who has defying strength. It was you who gave me a new lease of life and the ability to view the whole world from my own perspective."
"I didn't expect you to have awakened because of the fact that I was going to die, I guess I owe Phoenix three now. One for helping me out when I was just a weakling, one for giving the chance to adventure and journey with you, the last for saving his life at his death bed."
He owes the Phoenix Ancestor way too much and the best he could do, was to repay him by fulfilling his last wishes.
Phoenix ran off as she went to gather some weeds and flowers or anything that the rabbits could possibly eat.
When she returned and attempted to give the Jade Crystal Rabbits some food, they shunned her and even showed hostility.
Approaching the rabbits again, she bowed down and placed the food on the ground in front of them before stepping back, beast taming isn't a simple profession as it's just way too time consuming.
Right now, Phoenix was planning to take her time to let the rabbits drop their guard against her first, only then can she progress to the next step to make the more affectionate with her
"Nix, just fall back if things doesn't seem right!" Nightin cautioned for her to be careful when he saw the rabbits showing hostility and flaring their teeth at her.
"Stand back, it's fine!" Phoenix placed one hand out and gestured for Nightin to keep away.
Nightin furrowed his brows in disapproval, but still kept some distance away from Phoenix. Telling her to stay safe once again before backing off.
Time passes quickly and in just the time of some cultivation cycles, the stars and moon had already swapped shifts with the sun.
The luminous light lit up the darkness and for some reasons, the sky was actually slightly blue but none of them paid attention to this weird phenomenon.
Phoenix considered that this process would take up to months and for someone like Nightin, he definitely doesn't have the time to accompany her. "Night, why don't you leave first, I'll find you once I've tamed the pair of rabbits."
Nightin was about to reject her, but she continued "It's fine, I won't go missing on you. With my current strength, I should he safe as long as I don't meet any existences or individual above the Great Saint realm."
"Young master, I've returned with the map you requested. Based on the information I've gathered, we're currently stranded on the southern area and the Voyager Kingdom in the central area, should be our next location." Dark Fang Interjected in at this moment, interrupting Nightin from changing Phoenix's mind.
"Young master, I'm sorry for eavesdropping on the last part of the conversation, but I believe that if you truly love someone, you should give her the degree she wants to complete her checklist of tasks." Dark Fang explained like an expert who knows much about love, even making exaggerated actions to express his thoughts.
"Little bat, have you perhaps been in love before? Why do you know so much about what love means?" Phoenix teased as she walked towards them, the two rabbits already asleep in the burrow she helped to decorate.
"You overthink of me young lady, I merely read about these information on a book during my spare time." Dark Fang explained patiently, acting like it's the best thing one should do during his or her spare time.
"Dark Fang, is there a reason why you returned so early before the designated time we agreed on?"
