章節 9: The Beast Pretending to Be Pitiful (2)

編輯: Atlas Studios

At the side, Lü Tao was a little dumbfounded: "Miss… actually made a contract with a low-level spirit beast…"

"W-what kind of contract is this?" Lü Tao was stunned and speechless because this contract array was something she had never seen before.

After more than ten minutes, the gorgeously intricate purple contract array slowly disappeared. Leng Ruoxue held the little black beast in both hands, her beautiful eyes shining with raging flames. She stared at the little beast fiercely, wanting to bore a hole in its small body with her stare. But the little beast used its cute appearance and watery blue eyes with tears spinning in them to stare at her innocently and pitiful.

Pretending to be pitiful again… Leng Ruoxue was even angrier. If it weren't a little beast, Leng Ruoxue would have choked it to death. However, while she could be cold-blooded to humans, she had always been very caring toward animals, so she really couldn't do it.

"Big Sister, Big Sister, wuuuuu… Big Sister is so fierce!" An immature male voice sounded in Leng Ruoxue's ears.

"Are you the one talking?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the little beast in front of her suspiciously because most spirit beasts would address their owners as masters after establishing a contract.

"Baby can talk with Big Sister after making the contract." The little black beast nodded aggrievedly and looked at Leng Ruoxue with a perfectly guileless look.

"Don't you dare look at me with this expression!" The flames of anger in Leng Ruoxue's eyes burned more vigorously.

"Tell me. Why did you establish the contract without my consent?" Leng Ruoxue's face was covered with frost. She hated the feeling of being forced by deceit.

"B-Baby likes Big Sister." The fluffy beast's face actually showed a shy expression.

"So you forced it on me just because you like me…" Leng Ruoxue was speechless. Moreover, what was that 'soul bond contract'? Why had she never heard of it before?

She knew two types of contracts. Equal contracts: the two parties who entered into the contract were of equal status as friends and could not be forced. If one party was injured and died, the other party would not suffer any harm. Master-slave contracts: this kind of contract was a type of forced contract where the initiative was in the hands of the human. The status of the two parties was not equal. The human was the master, and the spirit beast would follow. If the master died, the spirit beast would also die. However, if the spirit beast died, the master would not be affected. This type of contract was the most unfair way of contracting with the spirit beasts. This was also the main reason why some proud spirit beasts would rather die than be in a contract with humans. There were very few humans who would be willing to enter into an equal contract with spirit beasts after all. However, it was precisely because of master-slave contracts that the status of beast trainers was becoming better and better.

"What contract did you just enter into with me?" She still remembered the voice that said 'our souls will accompany each other through life and death'. This sort of contract was not within the scope of her knowledge.

"It's the soul bond contract. Baby will always be with Big Sister and will never leave you," the little beast said happily.

"…"

"Then what if I die?"

"Then Baby will also die. If Big Sister is alive, Baby will be alive. If Big Sister dies, Baby will also die. Baby will never leave Big Sister."

"…"

Wait, what do you mean by never leave me… It shouldn't be what I'm thinking, right? Is this little thing planning to rely on me? Is it not enough to follow me for this life? It wants to follow me in all my reincarnations? This is what it means, right?! Leng Ruoxue was uncomfortable. What kind of lousy contract is this?! How can it be so overbearing? And the contract has already been established. She had no chance to refuse and could only live with it. Not only that, but she also had to protect this useless-looking thing, which looked as though it did not possess any bit of offensive power, lest it died and she died with it.

"Where did you learn this contract?" Leng Ruoxue was very curious. This contract was not within the scope of people's cognition, but a little beast actually knew about it and tricked her into it. She was so angry just thinking about it.

"Baby doesn't know. Baby knew about it ever since Baby was born." The little beast knew that it had annoyed the big sister it liked, so it was a little cautious, its big watery eyes still peeking at Leng Ruoxue from time to time.

"…"

Leng Ruoxue could see that it was an underage child. Even if she were to probe further, it would not know.

"Is Baby your name?" Leng Ruoxue heard it calling itself Baby.

The little beast named Baby nodded, and its big blue watery eyes looked at Leng Ruoxue with affection.

Leng Ruoxue thoughtfully looked at the little beast in front of her. Could it be that this little guy isn't a low-level spirit beast? As far as she knew, only advanced spirit beasts with intelligence could name themselves, and low-level spirit beasts didn't have that IQ. However, she didn't expect this little thing to know what kind of spirit beast it was, so she did not ask anymore since she would know one day anyway.

"Big Sister will call you Baby from now on then!" Leng Ruoxue said, finally recognizing this younger brother. After all, they were hanging on the same rope now.

"Miss, Old Master has returned."

"Got it." Leng Ruoxue, who was teasing Baby, stood up and walked to Listening Snow Pavilion. In her room, she saw her grandfather sitting in a chair with a smug face, eating the pastries that she had ordered prepared in advance.

"Xue'er, come here quickly." Leng Qingtian couldn't wait to tell Leng Ruoxue about his performance in the palace as soon as he saw her.

Leng Ruoxue listened quietly while pouring tea for her grandfather. In fact, even if her grandfather didn't tell her, she could guess how angry the emperor would be, especially for breaking off the engagement. A simpleton had declined the marriage with the seventh prince most loved by the emperor. It wouldn't sound pleasant if such news were to spread!

"Grandpa, I'm planning to train in seclusion," Leng Ruoxue suddenly said after patiently listening to Leng Qingtian.

There were too many things she wanted to learn, but she was too weak now. A Great Spiritualist might be considered a powerhouse in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is far from enough for her. She hoped to break through as soon as possible and advance to Spiritual Monarch because only then would she be equivalent to stepping into the threshold of the powerhouses. It might only be one stage between Great Spiritualist and Spiritual Monarch, but it was not easy to break through. Throughout history, countless practitioners were stuck at the Great Spiritualist stage. It would be possible to use spirit pills to help with the breakthrough if they were from big families, but only the elites in the families could enjoy this treatment. Disciples with ordinary aptitudes would not have that qualification. Moreover, only when she advanced to the Spiritual Monarch stage could she learn the advanced spiritual skills she was most interested in.


章節 10: Preparations to Enter Seclusion

"Grandpa supports you." Leng Qingtian was actually very happy and pleased to see his precious granddaughter working so hard. One must know that while the Leng family only had a few people, they had never been weak. He was just a tiny bit reluctant, as it had been a long time since he saw his granddaughter.

"Xue'er, this is for you." Leng Qingtian took out a storage ring and gave it to his granddaughter.

"There are medicinal herbs from when I robbed the palace this time, as well as various spiritual skills collected by Grandpa over the years. However, other than the fire and wind elements, the others are only at the elementary and intermediate levels." Alas, he didn't expect their Leng family would have a little monster who had all the spiritual power attributes. He was shocked when he tested Xue'er with the test crystal yesterday because her talent was really too abnormal. Not only did she possess all the spiritual power attributes, but her affinity with spiritual power was above the superior grade, and even her mental strength was above the superior grade. He was dumbfounded at that time because it meant that the Leng family would have an anomaly with all the important professions of spiritualist, alchemist, artificer, and beast trainer.

The Ling Feng Continent had a long history, but there had never been anyone with all four professions. Perhaps it was because you could not have your cake and eat it too that spiritualists might not become artificers, alchemists, or beast trainers, but these professions had to become spiritualists first. Artificers and alchemists required fire-attribute spiritual power, while beast trainers required both affinity with spirit beasts and mental strength to be at least at the superior grade. For a spiritualist, high mental strength was undoubtedly beneficial, but the most important thing for a spiritualist was not mental strength but spiritual power affinity. The higher the affinity, the greater the future achievements. That was to say, even for a fire-attribute spiritualist, if they did not have superior-grade spiritual power affinity and mental strength, it was impossible for them to become an alchemist or artificer. And an alchemist or artificer with superior-grade mental strength but not superior-grade spiritual power affinity could not become a powerful spiritualist.

For anomalies with fire-attribute spiritual power and superior-grade affinity and mental strength, unless they belonged to or were sheltered by certain top forces, the major forces would never allow them to mature. After considering the situation, he immediately told Xue'er not to let anyone know her talent before she had absolute strength.

Leng Ruoxue took the storage ring from her grandfather, which recognized her as its owner. Then she made some preparations before entering seclusion. Before going into seclusion, she looked at Baby, who was reluctant to part, a little helplessly.

"Baby, Big Sister is going into seclusion. You have to be obedient, okay?"

"Big Sister… you have to come out quickly. Baby will miss you!" Baby said with tears in his eyes.

"Ok, Grandpa, I'm going."

"Xue'er, Grandpa will miss you too!" Leng Qingtian said quickly. How can a little beast steal the attention of my darling granddaughter?

Leng Ruoxue didn't expect her grandfather to actually compete with a little spirit beast. She couldn't help finding it a little funny, lessening the sadness of the brief separation a lot. After bidding farewell, she walked toward the secret room.

Leng Ruoxue walked into the secret room and looked around. The room was very spacious and bright. There were large night-illuminating pearls hanging on the walls and a spirit jade bed with a round cushion on it placed against the middle of the back wall. There was also an exquisite sandalwood table and a bookshelf on the left side of the bed filled with books, most of which were related to cultivation. In each of the four corners of the room, there was a stone pillar inlaid with spirit crystals of various colors, which were for gathering spiritual energy. Grandpa said that an ancestor of the Leng family built this secret room. The spiritual energy inside is at least twice as strong as outside. Such a room is one of the best even among top forces.

Leng Ruoxue sat cross-legged on the spirit jade bed. Spirit jade had the effect of gathering spiritual energy, so she felt the abundance of spiritual energy as soon as she sat on the bed. But she didn't intend to start absorbing the spiritual energy immediately. Instead, she started reading first, and then she took out the spiritual skills that her grandfather gave her and started cultivating.

Spiritual power attributes were divided into seven types: fire, wind, water, earth, wood, light, and darkness. The spiritual power of each attribute had its own spiritual skills. The levels of spiritual skills were divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, and heavenly. Spiritual Practitioners could cultivate elementary spiritual skills, and Spiritualists and Great Spiritualists could cultivate intermediate spiritual skills. Only at the Spiritual Monarch stage could you cultivate advanced spiritual skills. Moreover, if you wanted to cultivate advanced spiritual skills of a certain attribute, you first had to cultivate the elementary and intermediate levels of these spiritual skills. In addition, you had to cultivate spiritual skills according to your own level step by step, from the elementary to the advanced level without skipping.

For spiritualists, the importance of spiritual skills was self-evident. But elementary skills were not difficult to learn. If someone awakened as a spiritualist, they only needed to go to the Spiritualist Guild to obtain elementary skills for free. If they wanted to learn intermediate spiritual skills, they could either buy them or go to an academy to learn. But if they wanted to learn advanced spiritual skills, it was best to go to an academy. It was very rare for them to be available on the market. Even if they were to buy one, it might not be suitable for their attributes. As for heavenly spiritual skills, they were probably only available in the hands of the top families and powerful spiritualists. They were absolutely priceless, and there was no market for them.

Her grandfather had given her elementary and intermediate spiritual skills of every element, and the fire and wind elements had advanced and heavenly spiritual skills. It could be seen from this that the Leng family's background was very strong.

After Leng Ruoxue learned all the elementary spiritual skills, she started on the intermediate ones. When she was tired, she would read and spend the rest of her time meditating and absorbing spiritual energy.

Among all the elementary and intermediate spiritual skills, Leng Ruoxue's favorites were the fire-element Explosive Flames Art and the wood-element Restraint Technique. Although they were only intermediate spiritual skills, they were very useful in combat. Explosive Flames Art was an attack-type skill, while the Restraint Technique was an auxiliary skill. If she were to add on the wind-element Quick Wind Art and used all three skills in battle, it would probably be bullying. But she was likely the only one who thought this way because not everyone had all the spiritual power attributes like her. Moreover, people with wood-attribute spiritual power were very rare, so the possibility of someone using all three spiritual powers was really too low.

Leng Qingtian was sitting on a stone bench not far from the secret room. The stone table in front of him was full of delicious food that he was enjoying with tea. But his eyes were on the little beast lying motionlessly outside of the secret room. His precious granddaughter had given him a task, so he had to protect this little thing related to his granddaughter's life. He didn't want to place his granddaughter in any danger because of his negligence, so he didn't dare to let this little thing out of his sight. But there was one thing he could not understand. Since his granddaughter was afraid that this little beast would be in danger, and this little beast refused to be too far from Xue'er, why didn't he enter the spirit beast space? Could it be that these two novices did not know there was such a space? The more he thought about it, the more possible he felt his guess was.
