Everyone rushed over and discovered that Lin Feng's injuries weren't as serious as they had seemed. Although he was tanned from the lightning strike, it was much better than the wounds inflicted by the demonic beast. Something seemed to have appeared around him, slowly flowing into his body, and his wounds were visibly healing. He seemed to be trapped in some mysterious illusion, sitting cross-legged in the middle, his eyes closed for a long time before opening again.
Youyou originally wanted to use the SB... oops! Rejuvenation Technique again, but seeing his condition, it seemed unnecessary. Besides, she was really afraid that if she attracted another heavenly lightning strike, she would end up with something bad instead of something good.
"Boss, what's wrong with him..." Liu Qing looked at the charcoal-black man in front of him with some concern, "Should we wake him up?"
“His injuries are healing!” Youyou explained. “Let’s not disturb him and wait here.”
"Oh, okay." Liu Qing nodded, glanced at her, then suddenly realized something, her legs went weak, and she knelt down again, hurriedly replying, "Yes...yes!"
"..." Here we go again?!
"Reporting to the Heavenly Maiden..." Yin Fan suddenly clasped his hands in a salute, and pointed with some concern to a certain spot ahead, saying, "I wonder what should be done with this demonic beast?"
Monster? Youyou was taken aback, then remembered the bald little monster. Turning her head, she saw that the monster, which had shrunk to the size of a dog, was still lying in the pit not far away, head down, as if desperately trying to bury its head in the ground.
Youyou walked over, grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, and pulled it out of the pit. The little monster froze for a moment, then slumped down on all fours, closed its little eyes, and even weakly stuck out half of its tongue.
Hey! It can even play dead!
You You's lips twitched, and she deliberately patted his bald white belly, saying directly, "He's already dead, so don't waste him. Just wash him up, chop him up, and stew him!"
"Awoo~" Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the little monster woke up instantly and began to struggle, kicking its four short legs. "No! Don't eat me!"
"Holy crap!" You You was startled and almost threw him away. "You can talk!"
The little monster's voice was high-pitched like a child's, and perhaps out of fright, it suddenly burst into a deafening wail, "Waaah! You bullied the beast... and hit me, you bad people! Waaaaah... As expected, all human cultivators are bad guys!"
Youyou immediately moved it further away; it was too noisy!
"You not only beat the beasts and kick them, but you also... you want to eat them! You're so mean! Waaah... the beasts are so pitiful! Awoooooo..." The little monster cried more and more sadly. No one knew where its small body got so many tears. It drenched Youyou's hand, and its voice was as miserable as could be. Its howl could be heard clearly for miles around. It even hiccuped halfway through.
Youyou suddenly had the illusion that she was bullying a child.
"If you didn't hurt anyone, would I have hit you?"
"Awoooooo... You want to eat beasts, bad people! Bad people..."
"Alright, alright, you don't have to eat anymore, okay? Stop crying!"
"No, I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry, waaaaaah... You're the worst, you're the worst person ever!"
"Quiet down, we have a patient here, speak properly!"
"No! The beast is sad, the beast wants to cry..."
Shut up! You want me to slap you?
"Hiccup~!" The little monster burped and then fell silent instantly.
Nothing is harder than a fist!
"Boss Yin, can you tell what kind of monster this is?" You You turned to look at Yin Fan, as she was unfamiliar with monsters.
"Your Majesty, just call me Yin Fan!" Yin Fan replied somewhat nervously, then looked closely at the beast in her hand and shook his head. "I've never seen one before, but one that can speak human language must be at least an eighth-rank or higher demon beast."
"I'm not a demon beast!" As soon as he finished speaking, the little monster suddenly became excited, glanced at You You, and immediately wilted again, weakly protesting, "I'm a spirit beast, a guardian spirit beast, not a demon beast or something with impure blood."
"Spirit beast?!" Another new term.
Yin Fan's eyes lit up, and he looked at the little monster again with some surprise. "I've heard that some immortal sects raise beasts with special bloodlines from a young age to help them develop intelligence and serve them. After a contract is established, they can even cultivate and advance together with their master. These beasts are spirit beasts!"
"Oh..." I see, it's a pet! "So, you have an owner?"
"No..." The little monster's ears drooped down. It wouldn't be bullied so badly if it had an owner. The more it thought about it, the sadder it became. It pitifully sobbed, "I've lived in the ruins since I was a child. If you hadn't destroyed my home, I wouldn't have run out. And yet... and yet you still beat me!"
"Uh..." Come to think of it, it seems they went a bit too far.
Youyou felt a sudden pang of guilt, but the ruins were already destroyed, and letting it roam freely was too dangerous—who knew if this kind of spirit beast ate people? Although it didn't seem aggressive now, a casual flick of its tentacles had nearly killed Lin Feng, and that was just from the mane around its neck. She couldn't let her teammate be in constant danger.
Youyou is in a dilemma: she can't kill him, and she can't let him go.
“If Your Majesty does not wish to kill it, but fears it will continue to harm people, why not establish a contract to make it a spirit beast?” Yin Fan suggested. “With the contract binding it, it will only be able to obey the Heavenly Maiden.”
"You mean you want me to take it?"
“That’s right.” Yin Fan nodded, looking at her with admiration.
