"Hmph!" The beast revealed an arrogant look, as if it were a kind of cuteness that only mortals like you could appreciate.
Looking at Linghu Lan's contented expression, Shenji felt a strange sense of satisfaction, a feeling that he could spend the rest of his life making her laugh.
However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he secretly suppressed it.
He turned away, no longer looking at Linghu Lan's face, but instead made a hand seal, took a drop of blood from the beast's heart, and placed it between Linghu Lan's eyebrows, then whispered, "Speak!"
Beast Beast trembled slightly and slowly said, "From this day forward, I, Beast Beast of the Illusionary Spirit Sea, voluntarily acknowledge... What's your name?"
"It's cold!"
"From this day forward, I, the Divine Beast of the Illusionary Spirit Sea, voluntarily acknowledge Ji Liang as my master and will never betray him for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, may my body be reduced to ashes."
Beast made a vow never to look at Linghu Lan again, and resignedly closed her eyes.
Linghu Lan felt as if a switch had appeared in her mind, a switch that could determine the life and death of the beast. With just a thought, it seemed that the beast would be annihilated and die beyond any hope of survival.
Linghu Lan, who had spent countless years in the world of cultivation, knew that this was called a blood oath, reserved for exclusive use by a master.
She slowly opened her eyes, stroked the beast's fur, tugged at his little ears, and laughed, "Don't be afraid. From today onwards, you'll follow me, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat."
Beast looked at her with an expression that suggested she was mentally challenged: "I want to eat dreams!"
"I'll give you as much as you want in your dreams." Linghu Lan stroked the beast's soft fur, feeling its smooth texture on her fingertips. She finally had a pet to pet.
The beast felt quite comfortable being petted by her, and the sadness of being forced to acknowledge a master finally subsided a little. However, she still silently complained in her heart, "Don't think that I will forgive you just because you're petting my fur. Dream on!"
After stroking its fur, Linghu Lan wanted to stroke the fur under its ears, so she said, "Stand up your ears."
"Hmm!" Beast immediately perked up its round ears, not feeling anything was amiss.
Shenji glanced at the very cooperative beast and said to Linghu Lan, "Its cultivation has regressed, so it can only remain in beast form from now on. It will have a chance to transform into human form when it grows up!"
"Wait! You mean he's not an adult yet?"
"Converted to human years, she's only ten years old; she's still a cub!"
Beast was inwardly in tears. You two adults are actually bullying a minor.
Linghu Lan couldn't help but praise, "I can't believe it! Your cultivation is incredibly fast. You're only ten years old and you've already reached the third rank of Spirit King and transformed into human form."
Beast proudly raised its head, "Of course! You commoners, come and worship me!"
That arrogant look immediately made Linghu Lan laugh.
She was almost certain that this guy had forgotten the pain once the wound healed; a casual compliment from someone made him forget that he now had a master.
Perhaps it was because Linghu Lan was petting it comfortably, or perhaps it had experienced too much joy and sorrow and suffered too many frights today, it quickly fell asleep in Linghu Lan's palm.
Linghu Lan placed Beast on the sofa.
Her clear eyes were fixed on Shenji. "Why are you doing this again? I thought you were going to stick me to the wall forever!"
Shenji felt uneasy under Linghu Lan's gaze, but he didn't want her to see it, so he kept a cold expression on his face, glanced at her, and then looked away. "I was afraid you'd be tricked by someone with a lollipop again, so I came to check on you. If you're still so stupid this time, I won't need anyone else to do it; I'll kill you myself and find a smarter disciple instead."
