Mu Liuyue brushed off the fallen leaves at the edge of the flower bed and sat down next to Wen Li.

After realizing that Ah Miao might have run away from home because of a quarrel, Wen Li seemed a little depressed and hugged her knees to reflect on herself.

"I'm actually an incompetent beastmaster, right? I didn't consider Ah Miao's feelings at all, and I was still excited about the new contract partner..."

Wen Li whispered, "Thinking about it carefully, when we first mentioned that we wanted to contract a new pet, it was a little unhappy."

"Amiou is your initial pet, right? This kind of situation will happen sometimes." Mu Liuyue comforted.

Wen Li nodded and looked at her friend beside her: "Has Ellen also had such a period?"

Mu Huoyue recalled carefully. Although she had decided early on to contract a cloud dog as her second pet, it was Allen who took the initiative to bring up the matter during his little skeleton period.

She still remembered the shy look of the little skeleton and the cute clicking sound.

Yes, there will be a little jealousy...but Eren hopes to win together with the Beastmaster.

If you want to participate in more battles and stand on a broader stage, you must sign contracts with more partners.

Allen understood this, so he suppressed the small possessiveness in his heart towards the Beastmaster.

Instead, he must be determined to become Hiiragi's most powerful and trusted pet, and her most important partner on the road to her dream and the path to becoming a champion.

Mu Shuyue told Wen Li about Ellen's original response.

The closer the relationship between the initial pet and the beastmaster is, the more likely similar situations will occur, but most pets will eventually accept the existence of other companions.

Even Xiang Xun's mantis, who was always suppressing his desire to kill his master, could accept the existence of the red-feathered eagle.

Yanxi Miao was not the type to act unreasonably due to momentary emotions. Mu Huiyue guessed that there was another reason why it reacted so violently.

"How did Wen Li and Yan Xi Miao meet and complete the contract?" she asked.

Wen Li sat on the edge of the flower bed with her legs hugged and her chin resting on her knees, as if she was lost in memories following Mu Liuyue's words.

"That was when I had just awakened..."

"That day I had a conflict with the Cinder Fire Sparrow again, and I ran out of the house in anger and went to the back mountain alone."

"I ended up meeting an apprentice miko who was practicing a festival dance with Flametail-nyan... She was a little girl about my age."

"Many families who believe in the Sun Phoenix will send their offspring with fire-type beast-controlling talents to Phoenix Mountain to learn the inheritance of the Wuji clan."

"This girl is the same. She has just awakened and doesn't have a contracted pet yet. Her family brought her a Flametail cat suitable for novices to cultivate. Now is the stage of mutual adjustment before the contract, just like me and the Cinder Sparrow."

Wen Li paused and smiled slightly, as if recalling an interesting scene.

"Hiratsuki, you haven't seen Meow at that time. The bitter expression on its face when it was forced to dance along was exactly the same as when I was forced to take dance lessons!"

"When we were dancing, Ah Meow tripped over my front legs and my back legs. I tripped over my left foot and my right foot, haha."

"A-Meow doesn't like dancing and isn't good at it, so he was always scolded for it. I watched him try his best for an entire afternoon on the hill behind him, and he was also scolded for an entire afternoon. In the end, like me, he ran away after a conflict with his partner..."

"I chased Ah Meow into the forest behind the mountain and was attacked by a wild Phoenix Fire. Ah Meow saved me."

"At that time, it was still a young Flametail cat of the elite species. Facing an opponent far stronger than itself, it showed no sign of retreating. It spewed out tiny flames and held back the powerful enemy, allowing me to run."

"I used my beast control talent to cooperate with Ah Miao and defeated the wild Phoenix Fire across levels."

"I was almost overwhelmed by excitement and joy at the moment of victory. It was a feeling I had never experienced on stage before. I finally realized that Meow, who also loves fighting, is the partner I have always wanted to have. I want to make a contract with him."

Mu Shuyue looked at Wen Li and said, "...and then you signed the contract on the spot?"

"Because Ah Meow thought so too." Wen Li touched the tip of her nose embarrassedly, "After the contract was signed, I realized that it seemed a bit hasty, so I told Ah Meow's original partner that I would give the Cinder Sparrow to you."

Mu Shuyue: “…”

Well, you can imagine what kind of storm Wen Li will face next.

The situation of the Cinder Fire Bird is different from that of the Little Cloud Dog. It is extremely precious and difficult to breed. It is a pet with a definite evolutionary route for the imperial race. Its final evolutionary form is still a powerful pet with symbolic significance, such as the [Red Flame Bird].

The Cinder Fire Sparrow that Wen Li gave up was not only a pet with great potential, but also represented the inheritance rights of the witch priest clan.

Well...but she seems to have done the same thing, even more outrageous than Wenli and Yanwei Miao.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought that both Ah-Meow and I liked fighting, so it would be a good idea to let Cinder-Fire Sparrow, who liked stage performances, make a contract with her..."

Wen Li scratched her cheek. "Finally, it became like this. I had a big fight with my mother. She told me to never return to Phoenix Mountain if I had the ability. I said that Ah Miao and I would go to college and follow our own paths, and then I ran away from home."

After she finished speaking, she stopped what she was doing and lowered her eyes slightly.

"…A-Meow has been working very hard and taking good care of me, an unreliable beastmaster. I didn't notice its mood. No wonder it got angry."

"Hiiragi, am I so childish and useless that Meow dislikes me?"

Mu Huoyue reached out and rubbed the girl's depressed head.

"In my opinion, your meeting and contract with Ah Miao is also the process of you finding yourself."

"I think Ah Miao should think so too, that's why he won't dislike you."

She recalled Luo Yin and Yan Luo's book page.

Two people who care about each other are always afraid that they are not good enough and will disappoint the other person and make him or her leave them.

…

…

At the same time, White Fang found the escaped Flame Cat outside the pet nursery.

Ellen's prediction was correct. It didn't go too far away, maintaining a subtle distance that was just undetectable by the Beastmaster.

The white-haired puppy wagged its tail proudly. It was getting more and more proficient at sensing special emotions to find individual targets!

The Pai Ya soldier emerged from its shadow, touched White Fang's head on behalf of the Beastmaster, and praised it.

Flame Cat was crouching behind a patch of carefully trimmed grass. It was not surprised to see Mu Liuyue's two pets appear. Its flaming tail swayed slightly behind it, and it looked weak.

Ellen saw something familiar about himself in it.

It was not the desire to monopolize the Beastmaster, but the disgust and worry for himself, as well as the secret hope that the Beastmaster would accept him in this state.

But Mu Huoyue is a gentle and careful person. She will notice the emotional changes of her pets in advance, communicate with them in time, and try to avoid problems before they occur.

In addition, dark pets have a unique perception of emotions, especially pets like Eren who can directly feed on contracted emotions, which makes it easier for them to gain a sense of security from the beastmaster.

After all, from the time she made the contract with Hiiragi until now, no matter what she did, Eren had never felt hungry.

Not to mention hunger, he even allowed himself to increase his appetite, absorbing more emotional energy from the Beastmaster, turning it into the cornerstone of his cross-level evolution.

In comparison, Yan Xi Miao would probably have a much harder time facing Wen Li, who had not noticed these meticulous thoughts.

But this does not mean that Wen Li did not understand Yan Xi Miao.

The tall skeleton sat down next to Flame Cat and waved to the little cloud dog. The white-haired puppy also came over and put its head on the skeleton's leg bone, asking him to touch it.

Ellen-senpai’s touch was as skillful as his cooking and cleaning, and the puppy couldn’t stop.

"Ka-taka?" (Are the evolved forms of the red fireflies higher level than you?)

The skeleton didn't mince words and asked directly to the point.

“… Meow.” (… That’s right.)

Yan Ximiao looked at him fiercely, then showed a frustrated expression.

The red firefly that the nursery recommended to Wen Li is a dual-attribute pet with fire and insect attributes that has multiple evolutionary forms. Its evolutionary forms cover a variety of forms from high-level warrior races to high-level monarch races.

As for Wen Li's [Burning Blood] talent, once the contract is signed, the red firefly will definitely evolve into a monarch race.

As a member of a high-level warrior race, the Flame Attack Cat was unable to go any further.

Its growth limit is only to maturity, but the pets of the monarch race can reach the complete form and become the real main force of Wen Li's team.

Of course it knew that if it wanted to stand on a higher competitive stage, Wen Li would have to contract more pets, but when that day really came, Yan Xi Miao was still very sad.

When they first met, Yan Xi Miao knew how good a beastmaster Wen Li was.

Being able to help the weak self defeat Phoenix Fire in one fell swoop is a beast taming talent that many pets who love fighting and want to become more powerful dream of.

Sooner or later, it will reach its growth limit and will not be able to keep up with Wen Li's pace, becoming an obstacle on the road to her dream.

Yan Xi Miao hated himself for being so powerless.

"Ka-ta, ka-ta?" (So, you just ran away from the beastmaster?)

Ellen asked without mercy.

"Meow!" (What do you know!)

Flame Attack Cat was so excited by this [Escape] that its fur stood on end. The flame spread out along with the breath, scaring White Fang who was lying down.

It then realized its mistake and lay back down in the same position.

"Meow." (Sorry.)

"Meow..." (I just hate myself for being so useless...)

“Meow meow…” (No matter what I think in my heart, I am not as good as the new pet that Wen Li is going to contract, and I will be a drag on Wen Li in the future. This is also a fact, I…)

“Crack, crack?” (So, you’re just going to give up and accept your fate without even trying your best?)

"Click?" (Is this the extent of your contract with Wen Li?)

The skeleton opened his jaw and slowly closed it, his long finger bones stroking the white fur puppy lying on his lap.

"Click, click." (Not even as conscious as a puppy.)

"Woof?!" White Fang suddenly raised his head and poked the skull's metacarpal bone in dissatisfaction.

Is Senior Allen treating this as some strange standard of measurement?

Flame Strike Meow lowered his eyes silently, looking at his sharp claws covered with burn marks.

Of course, its contract with Wen Li is more than... this extent.

Back then in the forest behind the mountain, Flametail Cat went to save her with the intention of sacrificing himself.

How could a human be so stupid? The human who was originally supposed to be its beastmaster never cared where it ran to, and the one who chased it into the Phoenix Forest was a stranger who had never been seen before.

When Phoenix Fire was defeated, it turned around in the flying flames and saw the girl running towards it with cheers.

At that moment, Flametail felt an indescribable surge of emotion, a mixture of excitement and joy, which almost drowned it.

These emotions were materialized in the subsequent contracts and became the cornerstone of its strength to fight to this day.

This is a precious memory unique to Yanxi Miao and Wen Li, and also the agreement between it and Wen Li.

Ellen was right. While the Beastmaster was still trying his best, was it going to just run away and give up?

Yan Ximiao suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

As long as Wen Li still needs it... on this road to their dream of moving forward together, Yan Xi Miao will never give up before her!
