The black whale stayed in the pool, raising its eyes, which were almost bigger than Qin Xiao's, and looking at him with a cute and clear expression.

Sizzle~

A small jet of water sprayed towards Qin Xiao, soaking him completely.

The little girl is quite mischievous!

Qin Xiao wasn't annoyed. He could tell from the other person's eyes that the other person was just joking and had accepted him.

Place your hand on the black whale's head, and a hazy light shines through.

The little girl lowered her head timidly, then stopped looking up.

A smooth touch came through.

Qin Xiao controlled his greatly enhanced mental power and surged towards the black whale.

I could clearly sense a timid and shy fluctuation in my mind, as slippery as a fish.

However, after being surrounded and blocked by Qin Xiao's mental power, he was finally cornered.

Tsk, Qin Xiao gives off a vibe of coaxing a little girl into eating a lollipop.

After much back and forth, the contract was finally completed.

A series of stumbling mental fluctuations came through.

"You, you're...my Master now~ Master~ I'm hungry~ Food~"

Qin Xiao couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

With a wave of his hand, he directly took the black whale into the newly opened demon realm contract space.

This is a huge lake, with a small, beautiful, and mysterious island in the center.

He took two of the remaining attribute-less spirit crystals and put them into the black whale's space.

Feeling the joy emanating from the black whale, Qin Xiao was also delighted.

This thing is so cute and adorable, it's worth the ticket price just for viewing.

[Ding, contracted beast detected, initial form: black whale. Initiating god-level template extraction]

[Congratulations, host! Successful extraction. Template obtained: Kunpeng]

[The fusion requirements for this template are: 100 Silver-tier Wind-type Spirit Crystals (not lower than the Beast Taming Level); 100 Silver-tier Water-type Spirit Crystals (not lower than the Beast Taming Level); 10 Silver-tier Bird Flesh and Blood Essence (not lower than the Beast Taming Level)]

[Extract this template?]

Tsk, Qin Xiao was a little puzzled. The resources for this fusion template had changed again, and there was an additional prompt.

Is it because Xiao Hei's rank is higher? Maybe it will upgrade to Gold after fusion?

As for the template, it definitely needs to be extracted; this template is practically tailor-made for us.

"Confirmed withdrawal!"

[Ding, template extraction complete. Please collect materials as soon as possible for template fusion. During this period, please do not upgrade your contracted beast to avoid material fluctuations.]

After looking at the prompt, Qin Xiao considered it for a moment and figured that it would be safer to collect spirit crystals worth ten silver stars.

After all, Xiao Hei is already Silver Eight-Star.

However, this caused the fee to rise sharply, and the main problem wasn't the money, but the difficulty in collecting it.

I contracted with Little Black, but there was almost no feedback on my level.

Yesterday, Ilya fused with the template and upgraded to Silver Nine-Star, and her own rank also increased.

Qin Xiao's current rank is already Silver Six-Star, almost catching up with his tamed beasts.

His tamed beasts all have 100% loyalty, their talents are all highlighted, and the feedback rate is excellent.

Moreover, at the first level, he can contract two beasts, which is equivalent to doubling his cultivation level.

Currently, Bai Ling is a Silver Seven-Star, Ilya is a Silver Nine-Star, Jianmu is a Silver Nine-Star, and Xiao Hei Bai is a Silver Eight-Star.

Next, we need to make more money. We need to invest in Xiao Hei's resources and the cultivation resources of all the beast tamers to raise their levels.

Once they reach the Gold rank, he will likely be able to break through to the Gold rank soon as well.

Then you can contract two more beasts.

This snowball is terrifying when it rolls!

If someone were to reach the Gold level right after entering university, it would probably give the upperclassmen a little shock to their values.

After finishing up here, Qin Xiao walked over to Zhou Lei and watched the staff who were comforting and packing up the Earth Bear.

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Lei Zi, what are you doing?"

Zhou Lei's face stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Xiao, my strength is too weak to form a contract right now. I plan to send it back home to recover first, and also to build a relationship with it."

Qin Xiao frowned, looked at him again, and didn't say anything more.

Soon, the bear was calmed down, and the staff pushed the cage out of the hall with Zhou Lei and his companion.

"Brother Xiao, I'll take it back first, and I'll come find you again after I've completed the contract!"

As Zhou Lei finished speaking, he left with his staff.

Qin Xiao stared blankly at Zhou Lei's retreating figure.

Something's not right. Something's extremely wrong.

Lei Zi really thinks he's an idiot. How could he not see something so obviously wrong?

At this moment, Liu Piaoxu walked over with a woman and saw Qin Xiao looking at Zhou Lei.

"Brother Qin Xiao, what are you looking at? This is my sister Liu Feixue, the captain of the Feixue team."

Qin Xiao turned his head and looked at the woman next to Liu Piaoxu.

The woman was not old, looking no more than thirty. She had a pale complexion, slanted eyebrows, delicate features, and a somewhat androgynous appearance.

"Hello, I'm Liu Feixue, the captain of the Feixue team. Qin Xiao, do you have time to chat?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, "I'm sorry, I might have to reschedule. I have something urgent to attend to."

Liu Feixue raised an eyebrow; her eyebrows were quite striking, and the way she raised them carried a touch of sassiness.

"Was that the kid from earlier?"

Although Liu Feixue asked a question, her tone was very certain.

Qin Xiao didn't hesitate and nodded.

"So, Captain Feixue, I must excuse myself for a moment. Let's meet again next time."

Liu Feixue smiled and said, "No need to wait until next time. Just ride in my car and go check it out. Maybe I can lend you a hand?"

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Qin Xiao knew what she was planning and agreed after thinking about it.

The two agreed and set off.

Only Liu Piaoxu remained, still somewhat dazed, eating squid tentacles.

"Hey, wait for me!"

...

Soon, Qin Xiao, having put away his beast, got into Liu Feixue's car, and Liu Feixue stepped on the gas, sending the car speeding away for dozens of meters.

The latest hovercar is still quite fast.

In just one minute, they caught up with the work vehicle from the Beast Taming Department.

Qin Xiao frowned even more deeply.

This road is clearly not the way back to Zhou Lei's house.

What's up, kid?

In fact, he had some suspicions in his mind.

"Brother Qin Xiao, is Brother Lei... having some kind of problem?"

Liu Piaoxu also noticed something was wrong and asked curiously.

Qin Xiao shook his head and remained silent.

"No need to think, this kid has definitely been threatened. He's being asked to trade a beast worth ten or twenty million."

Liu Feixue held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other hand on the car window.

She didn't turn on autopilot mode, mainly because she didn't like it.

Soon, the vehicle arrived in the suburbs.

Zhou Lei got out of the car, talked with the staff for a while, and then bowed and scraped as he saw them off.

He stared at the giant bear in silence for a while, then pushed the cage cart toward a nearby factory.

From the car behind, Qin Xiao watched from a distance.

He didn't know whether he felt anger or disappointment.

But reason told him that Zhou Lei couldn't be blamed for this.

He silently got out of the car, summoned Bai Ling and Ilya, and walked towards the factory.

He wanted to see which bastard was behind this mess.

"Kid, need some help? I'll take care of it for you!"

Qin Xiao paused, "No need, I can handle it!"

Liu Feixue raised her eyebrows, somewhat curious about where this kid got his confidence from.
