The little girl's mother didn't dare say much in the communication talisman, only telling her father to come back quickly.

He rushed home, thinking something had happened.

Seeing his wife and daughter looking like thieves in his own home made him slow his breathing and sense the situation at home. But as soon as he stepped inside, he realized something was wrong.

His cultivation level was higher than that of his wife and daughter, and the fragrance of the spirit beast fruit was so strong that he immediately recognized it. His expression changed drastically as he asked, "What's going on?"

The little girl quickly told him about the person she had met on the street.

His father's expression turned slightly serious, and he asked cautiously, "That cultivator said he wanted to form a contract with you? And when you refused, he just gave you this... spirit beast fruit?"

This was the first time he had seen the actual object, but he had heard of it and seen pictures of it.

I memorized it from the beginning.

At that time, I thought that if the opportunity came, I would definitely not miss it.

Unexpectedly, my daughter came back with a baby after going out for a short while.

"Dad, I've told you so many times, would I lie to you?"

The little girl was getting impatient with the questions.

"Jinling, answer your father properly, this is no small matter!" Shuanghua patted her daughter. She hadn't recognized the fruit before, but now that she heard it was a spirit beast fruit, she was terrified.

I don't know how my daughter managed to bring it back without attracting the attention of the other powerful demons in the city. That's really strange.

"Wulong, do you think this is some kind of conspiracy? Why would anyone want to make a pact with us?" Shuanghua asked worriedly.

Despite her and Wulong's tendency to boast to their daughter, family knows best that they are just ordinary canines and beasts, without any divine beast bloodline.

Not only that, but both of them had mixed hair. Wulong wasn't all black, but rather had black spots mixed with yellow hair, while she had white spots mixed with yellow hair.

Unexpectedly, after the two got married, they had a daughter who was entirely golden, and named her Jinling.

Of the three family members, Wulong had the highest cultivation level and also had a job in the city, so he was more knowledgeable. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and asked Shuanghua.

"Why don't we all go and ask together, and give it a shot?"

"Fight? Fight for what?"

Jin Ling wailed, "Father, Mother, are you crazy?! I am a descendant of the Golden-haired Hou! How could I possibly make a contract with a human cultivator? Besides, why would a human cultivator make a contract? Father, Mother, have you forgotten what you said before?"

"You damn brat! I'm talking to your father, don't you dare interrupt!"

Shuanghua was furious and embarrassed. She didn't think much of the boasting in the family, but it was too awkward to say those boastful things as if they were serious matters in such a moment.

"I'm not going. I don't want to be a human's spirit beast. I'm..."

"Stop saying 'but'!" Wulong couldn't stand it anymore. "Even if the Golden-haired Hou itself came, it wouldn't matter. It's still a deity's mount."

Jin Ling choked, forcing herself to say, "Those are immortals, capable of ascending to the upper realm. This cultivator, to me, also..."

Jin Ling thought of Fang Ruotang and her group's impressive demeanor and couldn't bring herself to say anything derogatory. They looked like they came from extraordinary backgrounds, and no one knew what the future held, but they certainly seemed very powerful right now.

There were five people in the group, and none of them were weak.

"Do you even know what kind of being can casually produce a spirit beast fruit? You're still babbling on here. Do you want to never be able to fully transform into human form in your entire life?"

Neither Wulong nor Shuanghua were particularly powerful canine beasts. Without a good opportunity, let alone leaving something good for their daughter, they themselves were unable to fully transform into human form.

“That’s right. Since you’re destined to be someone’s mount anyway, how about this: we go and see what kind of person that cultivator is. If she’s a good match, you can go with her. If you become powerful later, you can take her with you to heaven. It won’t make a difference. It doesn’t matter who you’re a mount for.”

Jin Ling's eyes widened. "Mother, is that how it's calculated?"

"Why not! Ascending to the upper realm is all that matters. Besides, you're so amazing! Not only can you ascend on your own, but you can also take your master with you, right?"

Frost Flower knows her daughter best. After hearing what she said, Jin Ling thought for a moment, puffed out her chest, and said, "I really am the most powerful cub of the dog clan. Not only do cultivators take a liking to me when I walk down the street, but I can also help her ascend to immortality."

"Alright! Alright! Considering how generous she is, I might as well take her with me to ascend to heaven." Jin Ling was immediately convinced.

Shuanghua looked at her daughter with affection, then exchanged a bittersweet glance with Wulong.

If they weren't so incompetent, why would they have allowed their daughter to enter into a contract with someone?

But she had just heard her daughter say that the group's cultivation levels were unfathomable, and that if her daughter followed them, her cultivation level would increase and her lifespan would be longer.

It's better than staying at home, where there's a lack of spirit stones and the two of them don't have the ability to devour and plunder other demonic beasts.

In fact, if they weren't in Beast City, they would even be on the menus of other demon cultivators.

So now Jinling has a path to take, and without thinking twice, they decided to give it a try, just in case it works!

Without further ado, the family of three immediately divided and ate the spirit beast fruit.

As it turned out, their upper limit was too low. After eating, the demon core couldn't withstand it at all, so they had to temporarily put aside their plan to find someone and slowly refine the spiritual power in the inner core.

As for Fang Ruotang, she had Xiao Jingzi keep an eye on her.

Also fearing that the spirit beast fruit would be snatched away by others and the little girl would lose her life, she has now mastered the laws of space. Unlike the short-distance teleportation of the past, she can now instantly tear through space and appear next to the little girl.

I learned about the conversation between the family of three and her name from the small mirror.

I couldn't help but laugh.

Golden Feather?

Yellow hair?

The image of a little girl with fluffy ears is quite fitting.

These two monsters are quite good at naming their children.

Knowing that they had eaten the spirit beast fruit and would not cause any further danger, Fang Ruotang stopped having the little mirror keep an eye on the family of three.

Realizing that Jin Ling wouldn't be looking for her anytime soon, Fang Ruotang gathered her companions and they all left the inn together.

The Demon Market gave her a very different impression; there was a huge amount of buying and selling, and everything sold there was alive.

Yes, everything is alive.

Standing in front of the steamed bun shop, I saw that the white buns had eyebrows and eyes on them, and they could even move. I had no idea what kind of filling was inside.

It's just weirdly creepy.

The most terrifying thing was that she witnessed a monster buying them, eating them one by one.

Fang Ruotang: ...

"I wouldn't dare eat this kind of meat bun."

Fang Ruotang shrank back, like a timid girl, and immediately nestled into Rong Xing's arms.

Rong Xing smiled, raised his hand to shield Fang Ruotang's eyes, and carried her past the steamed bun shop. They hadn't gone more than three or five steps!

Fang Ruotang pulled Rong Xing's hand to her front, staring at a huge, squeaking ginseng on the cart, or rather, a ginseng spirit.

"This... stewed chicken, it must taste really good, right?"
