Ao Wei tried to dissuade her, Qin Feng considered the matter, but Ao Ling's goal was clear and her expression was firm.
She branded her soul onto her side of the contract, signifying her agreement.
If Qin Feng agrees now, Ao Ling will become Qin Feng's contracted spirit beast, and the two will confirm their relationship.
There are three types of contracts with spirit beasts: master-servant contract, destiny contract, and equal contract.
A master-servant contract typically involves a human as the master and a monster as the servant. The monster must obey the master's orders, while the human has complete control.
The life-bound contract means that humans and demonic beasts live and die together, sharing the same lifespan.
An equal contract, where humans and spirit beasts are like friends, cannot harm each other or force each other to do things. This contract emphasizes equality and mutual respect.
When Ao Wei saw that Ao Ling was making further moves, his heart skipped a beat. "Kid, don't do anything rash."
Ao Ling glared at him. "Father, there's nothing wrong with this contract. Didn't you sign one with someone else before?"
"Oh?" Qin Feng looked at Ao Wei curiously. "This dragon is so wary of humans, yet it would sign a spirit beast contract with one?"
Ao Wei glared at Ao Ling with annoyance and said somewhat angrily:
"How can you compare? I've known your Uncle Yu for so long, he even saved my life. You've only known this kid for a short time, haven't you?"
Ao Ling stuck out her tongue and said stubbornly, "So what? I just like Brother Feng and I want to be friends with him, is that not allowed?"
Ao Wei only felt a toothache and could only glare at Qin Feng.
After thinking it over, Qin Feng decided not to sign the contract.
Both of them withdrew their soul power.
Upon seeing this, Ao Wei breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Ao Ling tightly, afraid that she would do something outrageous again.
Ao Ling looked at Qin Feng with great confusion, "Brother Feng, why don't you agree?"
Ao Wei was also very curious. Logically speaking, this was a good opportunity. Ao Ling had already agreed, so he only needed to agree to achieve it.
The Phantom Dragon Clan is a dragon clan, and many cultivators yearn to sign a contract with them.
Having failed to find the Tianchi Dynasty, Xu Yiming had gone to great lengths to come here, even resorting to despicable means.
Qin Feng remained calm, smiled at Ao Ling, and comforted her:
"We've only just met, I don't know you well, and you don't know me well either. You probably think I saved you, and you're doing this out of gratitude."
Signing a contract in this way is too hasty.
Besides, I have urgent business to attend to right now, and it's inconvenient to have you with me. How about this: when I'm done and back, if you still haven't changed your mind, we might give it a try.
Upon hearing this, Ao Wei couldn't help but think more highly of Qin Feng, and Qin Feng's actions also made him lower his guard.
Qin Feng didn't seize such a good opportunity; he doesn't seem like the kind of person with ulterior motives.
If it's all an act, then Ao Wei will accept it.
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Ao Ling's dimmed eyes regained their sparkle, and she extended her little finger to signal to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng chuckled. This is just a pinky promise game for kids.
Ao Wei's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he grabbed Ao Ling's hand, "You're not allowed to mess around anymore, didn't we agree on that?"
Ao Ling said angrily, "This is just a simple pinky promise."
Ao Wei looked at her suspiciously. "Really? Otherwise, I'll give you a good spanking when we get back."
Ao Ling raised her little head and said, "If you don't believe me, fine. I'll never talk to you again."
Ao Wei surrendered immediately, "Fine, you guys go ahead and do your thing. Go home when you're done. Your mother has been worried sick about you since she hasn't seen you in so long."
Qin Feng extended his pinky finger and tugged at Ao Ling's pinky finger.
With this ceremony, Ao Ling felt much more at ease.
"Brother Feng, remember to come back to me, we made a pinky promise."
Qin Feng smiled brightly, "Don't worry, I'll come back to find you after I've finished my business."
Ao Ling looked expectant. "Then you'd better hurry up. Ling'er is waiting for you."
Qin Feng recalled the incident involving those people from the Flying Dynasty and offered them a reminder.
"Senior Ao, the people who want to kidnap Ling'er this time are from the Tianchi Dynasty. The leader is called Xu Yiming. He is quite arrogant, saying that he is the son of the Martial King."
I think they came prepared; they've clearly got their eyes on Ling'er. I hope you'll be vigilant and that this won't happen again.
Upon hearing this, Ao Wei's face turned even angrier.
“I ran into them last time, and I let them go because I thought they were from the Flying Dynasty. I didn’t expect them to dare to come back and even set their sights on my daughter. I will definitely wipe them out next time I see them.”
Qin Feng casually asked, "There must be very few human cultivators coming to this forest, right?"
To everyone's surprise, Ao Wei shook his head and explained:
"It's not a small amount. You know that humans are very greedy, and demonic beasts are also a kind of resource. Of course, you cultivators treat our demonic beasts the same way."
Many cultivators come to the forest to train, hunt demonic beasts, and improve themselves.
Qin Feng nodded and continued to ask, "Are there any experts at the Emperor Realm in this Monster Beast Forest?"
Ao Wei looked at him with a half-smile, "What do you think? If it weren't for the Emperor Realm experts, this Demon Beast Forest would have been gone long ago."
Qin Feng thought about it and realized it made sense. If one side, cultivators or demonic beasts, had an overwhelming advantage, the result would be slaughter.
"Then, Senior Ao, Little Ling'er, farewell."
Ao Wei nodded.
Ling'er waved goodbye to Qin Feng reluctantly, "Brother Feng, you must remember to come find me. My home is in the canyon a hundred miles ahead. You must come."
Qin Feng agreed and continued on his way northeast without lingering.
Ao Wei raised an eyebrow upon seeing the direction Qin Feng was heading and loudly reminded him:
"Kid, be careful if you keep going in this direction. There's someone ahead who even I wouldn't dare to mess with."
