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


    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 ck beast in both hands, her beautiful eyes shining with raging mes.


    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 ck beast nodded aggrievedly and


    looked at Leng Ruoxue with a perfectly guileless look.


    “Don’t you dare look at me with this expression!” The mes 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?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    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-ve 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-ve contracts that the status of beast


    trainers was bing better and better.


    “What contract did you just enter into with me?” She still remembered the voice that said ‘our souls will


    apany 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


    nning 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 ufortable. 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,e here quickly.” Leng Qingtian couldn’t wait to tell Leng Ruoxue about his performance in


    the pce 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 nning 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.
