Chapter 117 World Four [3]

What finally made Wen Ruyue make up her mind wasn't her master's advice, nor was it her own hidden passion for furry animals. It was Jing Ke who took advantage of Wen Ruyue's inattention and bit her wrist.

As the little canine fangs pierced the skin and drew blood, an ancient and overbearing contract completely bound Wen Ruyue and Jing Ke together.

"It's not a master-servant contract, it should be an equal contract, right?" Amidst everyone's concerned gazes, Wen Ruyue frowned and expressed her feelings, "I can vaguely sense the little divine beast's state. It seems to be absorbing my spiritual power..."

Sect Leader Wen carefully checked the body of his eldest disciple, then glanced at the little white tiger nestled in his eldest disciple's arms, with its eyes half-closed and its tail twitching.

"It seems that the little divine beast has recognized you. After hearing that you want to keep it, it directly binds you by force." Master Wen said with a hint of helplessness.

"You should pay attention to practicing more often. Raising a divine beast is not an easy task." Sect Leader Wen advised, and for a moment he didn't know whether to say that his eldest disciple had good luck or bad luck.

Throughout history, there have been no more than a handful of people who have been able to make divine beasts sign contracts with them. However, no one who has been recognized by divine beasts is an unknown person.

But unfortunately, now is the Dharma Ending Age, and the path of cultivation is already difficult. Add to that an underage divine beast that can be called a gold-devouring beast, and the eldest disciple will probably have to work hard every day to feed the divine beast.

"Okay, Master." Wen Ruyue responded seriously, and suddenly felt an itchy wrist.

When I looked down, I found that the little white tiger, who had squinted his eyes just now, had changed his posture and was licking the wound on his wrist with his little tongue.

The remaining bloodstains quickly disappeared, along with the wound that had been bleeding just now.

"Has the wound on Senior Sister's wrist healed? Is this a magical power inherent to the divine beast?" Zhu Qiuyu asked. Her eyes hardly left the little white tiger, practically following its tail as it spun back and forth.

"That should be the case. There aren't many records related to mythical beasts, and many ancient books have been lost or destroyed, so we know even less." Sect Leader Wen let out a sigh.

Sect Leader Wen said, "Since you, Ruyue, have already signed a contract with the little divine beast, don't rush to leave. First, read and memorize the relevant information in the library, and then go out to complete the mission."

"Okay, Master." Wen Ruyue nodded in response, and her fingertips hidden in the little white tiger's fur moved gently, and she stroked the little white tiger's soft belly with great restraint.

After feeling Wen Ruyue's movements, Jing Ke stretched out in her arms out of courtesy and whimpered in a baby voice.

No one knew how Wen Ruyue could resist sucking the fur so hard, but Zhu Qiuyu, who was watching from the side, was already gritting his teeth and enduring it.

Big Sister, you have such a cruel and cold heart! Such a cute little white tiger is stretching in your arms, and you can't help but touch its belly, kiss its little nose, little mouth, and little belly!

Tang Ming and Gong Zang were not very interested in furry creatures. After making sure that the eldest sister was not hurt by the bite of the little beast, they returned to their rooms to practice in seclusion.

The previous battle with the remnant soul of the divine beast gave them a little more understanding, which required some time to settle.

As for Qin Guang, he held the tiger tooth he picked up tightly in his hand, hiding the jealousy that should not have appeared well, and only revealed a hint of envy.

Even though there will be a lot of trouble, who doesn’t want to contract a divine beast and make it their companion?

-

Following the instructions of her master, Wen Ruyue postponed the time to complete the task of the Special Management Bureau and stayed in the library to record the few remaining information about the mythical beasts.

The White Tiger is a mythical beast that has existed since ancient times, possessing numerous magical powers. As a beast primarily responsible for killing, the White Tiger is best known for its immense offensive power, and its ability to ward off evil and calamity is also well-known.

Wen Ruyue was carefully flipping through the preserved ancient books on the desk. Only after she made sure that there was no one around and the little white tiger in her arms was sleeping soundly, did she put her hand on the little white tiger's back with great restraint and stroke it very gently.

Whether it was the slightly raised corners of Wen Ruyue's mouth or her eyes that were about to overflow with love, she looked completely different from the usually cold and ruthless senior sister.

After touching it twice, Wen Ruyue continued to read the ancient books, while also trying hard to practice the trick of deception.

There was no other way. The white tiger was currently a first-class protected animal in China. Unless Wen Ruyue could really keep the little white tiger locked up at home all day and night, she would definitely have to use magic to confuse ordinary people.

There wasn't much information about the mythical beasts in the library, but Wen Ruyue had memorized all of it in less than two days.

What is relatively troublesome is how to use sleight of hand on the divine beast. Although the little white tiger is a cub, its bloodline level is there. When low-level spells fall on the opponent, they will be automatically invalidated.

After trying hard for seven days, Wen Ruyue found that the sleight of hand she had researched was still useless on the little white tiger. So she could only carry the little white tiger, who had been relying on her for twenty-three hours a day, to her master and explain the difficulties.

"Master, can you try to use a trick on the little white tiger? Although the house I chose is not in the city center, the flow of people there is usually quite a lot..." Wen Ruyue said with a hint of distress.

Wen Ruyue: "If I can't change the little white tiger's appearance in the eyes of ordinary people, I don't think I can take it on the mission."

"A trick?" Sect Leader Wen raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you read the information? Pure White Tiger blood can break through barriers. Not to mention your master, even a Nascent Soul master can't use a trick on a White Tiger."

Wen Ruyue looked down at the little white tiger who was holding its tail and sighed helplessly, "Master, if this is the case, I can only use a trick to deceive everyone who passes by."

Sect Leader Wen shook his head after hearing this. "This is too troublesome, and there will inevitably be oversights."

"Master, what should I do?" Wen Ruyue asked.

"We can't use sleight of hand on the little white tiger, but you can teach it how to change its shape, and let it turn itself into other animals," said Master Wen.

"Will this... work?" Wen Ruyue couldn't help but take another look at the little white tiger in her arms.

The little white tiger in his arms seemed to have heard the conversation between the two. He opened his big innocent eyes and tilted his head to look cute.

Wen Ruyue's body stiffened, and she swallowed silently. After a moment's pause, she slowed her voice and asked, "Little White Tiger, did you hear that? Are you willing to learn the art of transformation?"

"Awoo~" Jing Ke called out politely, then rubbed the other's chest with his furry head.

So soft, is this the special treatment for being a cub?

"Do you agree?" Wen Ruyue asked uncertainly. After the contract was signed, although she could vaguely feel the beast's mood, it was still far from reading its mind.

For example, now, Wen Ruyue could only feel that the little white tiger was in a very relaxed state and seemed quite happy.

"Master, when can the divine beast speak human language and communicate with me?" Wen Ruyue looked at her master with a pleading look.

"Well, your master has never raised a divine beast. Generally speaking, a spiritual beast can only speak human language after it has established its foundation, but the words of a divine beast..." Sect Leader Wen was a little unsure.

According to her understanding, divine beasts are born with knowledge. Since the little white tiger can understand what they are saying, it should be able to communicate with them.

To take a step back, even if the divine beast is unwilling to communicate with outsiders, his eldest disciple is the one who has formed a contract with the divine beast on his own initiative, so they should be able to communicate with each other, right?

There was nothing wrong with Master Wen's cognition, but Jing Ke always remembered what someone said. It was extremely impolite to read other people's inner thoughts without saying hello.

So Jing·Little White Tiger·Ke, who thought he was very polite, turned off the function of mutual understanding between the two parties, leaving only a rough perception of emotions.

"Little White Tiger, if you are willing to learn the art of transformation, jump onto the table. If not, just lie down and don't move." Wen Ruyue said.

Jing Ke blinked, and after a brief thought, he chose to put his tail on the table and knocked it hard twice.

"Are you agreeing?" Wen Ruyue asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ouch~" Jing Ke called out softly.

"Alright, I'll take that as your agreement." Wen Ruyue's face showed a hint of helplessness. "Master, I may need to stay in the sect for a while. If the Special Management Bureau asks about anything, I'll have to trouble you to help me deal with it."

"Go ahead. I've already said hello to the director of the Special Management Bureau. She's very happy that you've successfully...successfully signed a contract with the divine beast." Sect Leader Wen said.

Sect Leader Wen: "Don't worry about the mission. Tang Ming has already gone to help. It's just an ordinary Qi training monster. He can handle it."

"Okay, Master." Wen Ruyue once again looked at the little white tiger in her arms. After meeting its innocent amber eyes, she could only restrain herself and touch its fur with her fingertips, and continued to study the art of transformation.

A small transformation is too easy for Jing Ke. She doesn't even need to learn it. She can turn into a silver-tabby American shorthair with no flaws.

But Jing Ke, who was influenced by the original body, particularly enjoyed the time alone with Wen Ruyue.

So Jing Ke pretended to be a little white tiger with a slow reaction. It took him half a month to learn how to transform from a little tiger into a harmless little kitten.

During this period, Jing Ke also met Qin Guang who tried to attract her attention with his mother's relics. Jing Ke ignored him the first time, and the second time, Jing Ke rudely gave him a claw.

The third time, Jing Ke bit the other person's hand directly, snatched back his mother's relics, and turned around to stuff them into his own storage space.

When Qin Guang went to complain to Master Wen with the injury on his hand, Jing Ke sat obediently on the table, wagging his tail and looking at Wen Ruyue with an innocent look.

"Junior brother, maybe the little white tiger misunderstood you. You have the scent of its mother on you, so it's normal for it to be a little hostile towards you." Zhu Qiuyu, who loves furry things, was the first to change sides.

"But can't the divine beast understand what we say? It should know that its mother's death has nothing to do with me." Qin Guang couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "The remaining soul of the divine beast is obviously the eldest sister..."

"That's just the little white tiger playing a game with you, but it just couldn't control its strength for a moment." Zhu Qiuyu said.

Although Zhu Qiuyu is usually very nice to Qin Guang, in front of Mao Rongrong, the junior brother is somewhat insignificant.

What could be wrong with such a cute furry creature? It was just a misunderstanding of the little apprentice. Furry creatures can do no wrong!

Tang Ming is on a mission, so he can't offer any advice.

Gong Zang was a little dissatisfied with the little white tiger for injuring his junior brother, but after hearing his master say that the little white tiger's current strength was not inferior to that of the foundation-building stage, he silently shut up.

A demon beast in the foundation-building stage only needs to flick its tail to break the junior brother's spine. Now the junior brother was just bitten. Because it is a divine beast, he doesn't even need to be vaccinated. It's already very good.

"I'll pay for the medical expenses." After everything calmed down, Wen Ruyue spat out five words, ending the matter completely.

Seeing that the headmaster did not object to this result, and his junior sister and third brother who originally favored him did not say anything, Qin Guang could only accept it with a wry smile.

-

Just like that, after staying at the sect's headquarters for almost a month, Wen Ruyue was finally able to leave with Jing Ke, who had turned into a harmless kitten.

Theoretically, the divine beast only needs to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but after leaving the sect’s residence, the concentration of spiritual energy drops three or four times.

Wen Ruyue could only take the "Guide to Raising Divine Beasts" given to her for free by the head of the Beast Taming Sect, and follow the instructions in the book to feed the little white tiger in her arms a spirit stone of relatively ordinary quality every day.

There was no other way. Although Wen Ruyue's family wealth was second only to the elders of Lingxiao Sect, she only had about a hundred high-quality spirit stones worth tens of millions. If she fed him one every day, she would not have a penny left in her pocket in less than half a year.

According to the current classification of spirit stones, one high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred ordinary spirit stones of average quality, and one ordinary spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

What Wen Ruyue didn't know was that as a divine beast favored by heaven and earth, Jing Ke had been favored by the world consciousness since the moment he woke up.

So even if Wen Ruyue didn't feed her, Jing Ke could still improve her cultivation by lying down. It was estimated that after lying down for ten or twenty years, her strength would automatically break through.

However, adhering to the idea that things that are hard to come by should be cherished, Jing Ke accepted all the food that Wen Ruyue offered.

Wen Ruyue fed her a spirit stone, and Jing Ke crunched it in front of her, then swallowed it with a gulp.

-

After driving safely to the downstairs of the residential complex, Wen Ruyue held Jing Ke, who had turned into a silver tabby American shorthair, in her arms and took the elevator from the underground garage to room 1202 where she lived.

Wen Ruyue came back at lunch time. The elevator stopped at the first floor, and three workers with tired faces and a delivery man carrying takeaway food walked in.

The little white tiger did turn into a kitten, but Wen Ruyue had never heard the little white tiger meow, and was a little worried that it would suddenly let out a childish tiger roar.

So when more people got into the elevator, Wen Ruyue quietly took two steps back and covered the kitten with her coat to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.

After the elevator stopped safely on the twelfth floor, Wen Ruyue walked out holding the kitten and took out the key to open the door.

"Sister Wen, you're finally back. Were you on a business trip?" Before Wen Ruyue opened the door, the girl living in 1201 took the initiative to greet her, holding the lunch she had just received from the delivery boy.

"Yeah." Wen Ruyue responded briefly, turned the key and opened the door.

"Sister Wen, please wait a moment. The property management committee conducted a questionnaire survey a few days ago. I have your copy with me temporarily. I will get it for you." said the neighbor girl.

After going into the house with the takeaway, the little girl quickly came out holding a paper questionnaire.

"Sister Wen, this is it. It's a property satisfaction survey conducted by the property management committee. Just fill it out, take a photo and upload it." The little girl said, her sharp eyes noticing the kitten in Wen Ruyue's arms.

"Sister Xiao Wen, is this your cat? How can you bring a cat back from a business trip?" the little girl said with shining eyes.

If the kitten hadn't been pressed tightly against Wen Ruyue's chest, the little girl might have reached out to touch it.

"Well, I met him on the road and adopted him because I liked him." Wen Ruyue brought out the excuse she had prepared long ago.

"Wow, this must be a purebred silver tabby, with golden eyes. It's so pretty." The little girl said excitedly, "Sister Xiao Wen, where did you adopt it?"

"I met him on the road when I was on a business trip in Shuangyang City." Wen Ruyue added.

"Woo, woo, why can't I meet such a cute little kitten?" said the little girl, her eyes almost overflowing with envy.

Wen Ruyue subconsciously hugged Jing Ke a little tighter, "Don't you have a cat? I remember it was a big orange cat?"

"Yes, but you can never have too many cats." The little girl chuckled twice and made a request with a wink, "Sister Wen, what's the name of this cat? Can I pet it?"

"A name..." Wen Ruyue was stunned for a moment. She had raised the little white tiger for almost a month, but it seemed that she had not yet given it a name.

"Well, I call it... Xiaobai." Wen Ruyue omitted the last word "tiger". "It's a little shy and hasn't been vaccinated yet. It will bite people."

"Xiaobai, this name... is quite good." The little girl chose to praise with her eyes closed, and then silently withdrew her eager hand.

Even though I've been vaccinated, it still hurts when I get bit.

Just enjoy your eyes, and then go back to your room and touch your big orange cat more.
