Lan Zhi returned home and summoned her hamster.
"Hmm?" It was still as greedy as ever. Its little paws grasped a branch with fragrant roasted meat skewered on it. The skin was crispy and the inside was tender. The little hamster ate with great delight, its cheeks bulging. It swallowed the food in its mouth and held the branch forward like a treasure, saying, "This meat is delicious, Master, would you like a bite?"
Seeing its mouth full of grease, Lan Zhi shook her head and said, "No, you eat it."
"Master, you don't know, I..." The little hamster was about to say how comfortable and wonderful his life was in the white jade tree, but suddenly he seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw the ferocious beast lying unconscious on the ground.
"squeak!!"
The little hamster let out a sharp cry and quickly hid behind Lan Zhi.
Lan Zhi comforted him, "Don't be afraid. This little beast has signed a contract with me, and it's seriously injured. It won't hurt you."
The little hamster blinked its dark eyes and said, "Master, you don't know. Although ferocious beasts are all born from heaven and earth, they also have different bloodlines... and their bloodlines are divided into four levels. The one you captured... the oppressive feeling transmitted by its bloodline is very strong. Even though I have lived for thousands of years, I still... still feel fear. This is due to the suppression of the bloodline. It's like a grown sheep still afraid of a tiger cub..."
"Is its bloodline high-level?" Lan Zhi frowned and said, "But I don't want to keep a ferocious species around me. I was planning to sell it..."
"Well, it's better to sell it. The owner is kind-hearted, how could he keep a vicious beast?" The little hamster nodded vigorously. It stood huddled behind Lan Zhi, not even bothering to eat the barbecue in its paws. "Send it away quickly."
It is enough for the owner to raise one.
"By the way, Master, how old is this ferocious beast cub?"
Lan Zhi said uncertainly, "It's been less than an hour since it was born."
"It's grown this big in less than an hour?" The little hamster was shocked. Even if ordinary beasts grew very fast, they couldn't possibly grow this fast, right? I heard that when beasts were first born, they were no bigger than a human palm...
Seeing that the beast on the ground showed no signs of waking up, the little hamster grew a little bolder. It took a bite of the barbecue and murmured, "I suddenly remembered that I have never eaten a beast before..."
It slurped its saliva, looked up, and asked seriously, "Master, can I have a bite? Just a small bite, it won't affect your sales, right?"
Lan Zhi asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Are you not afraid of it anymore?"
"It's scared! But with its master here, it doesn't dare to act recklessly."
"Hey? I think this ferocious beast cub seems to have woken up..."
"Squeak!!" Upon hearing this, the little hamster's fur stood up and it hid behind Lan Zhi again.
Lan Zhi laughed, "You are so brave..."
The little hamster poked his head out and found that the beast cub hadn't woken up at all. He said angrily, "I trust my master so much, how could he lie to me?"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I apologize..." Lan Zhi smiled and shook her head. She stared at the beast on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hearing you say it has extraordinary bloodline, I suddenly don't want to sell it anymore. I want to keep it for myself."
Little hamster: “…”
"It's not convenient to keep it in the Lan Mansion, so how about letting it live in the white jade tree?"
“Oh no!!!!”
The little hamster looked distressed and wailed with its head raised. Just when Lan Zhi was about to comfort it, it changed its expression and said, "Actually, it's OK."
Lan Zhi held her forehead and wondered for a moment if this little guy was schizophrenic.
"A ferocious beast will easily retaliate if it is disobedient, so I plan to beat it up every few days to keep it in a half-dead state..." said Lan Zhi.
The little hamster's mouth twitched when he heard this. He never thought his gentle master had such a side. It even felt a little sympathetic to the poor beast...
"Also, I need to give it a name... Its fur is snow-white, without any other colors, but its eyes are green. Let's call it... White Jade."
"White Jade?" The little hamster repeated the name, thinking it was pretty good. Then, it said jealously, "Master, I followed you first, and you never thought of a name for me. Now, you've only been contracting it for a short time, and you've already given it a name. I'm not happy..."
Lan Zhi immediately gave it a name, "Your eyes are dark and bright, why not call it Black Amber?"
The little hamster shook his head and said, "No, our surnames are one white and one black. It sounds like it's a good beast and I'm a bad beast. I don't want the surname Black! I want the surname White too!"
"Okay, then your name is White Amber."
"Well... okay." The little hamster was easy to coax and became happy again in a blink of an eye. Its size was equivalent to that of a two or three-year-old human child, but its body was fluffy and its hair was very clean. Lan Zhi squatted down and touched its little head, and felt that it felt very good.
"Amber, are you a boy or a girl?"
"Female... uh, I'm a female." The little hamster was so upset that he couldn't say that he was a girl.
Lan Zhi asked: "Would you like to sleep with me tonight?"
"Um??"
"I need a pillow."
"...Master, why don't you hold Feicui?" Bai Hubo bravely ran to check the gender of the beast on the ground, sighing, "What a pity, this guy turned out to be a male. It seems that I will have to be your only pillow."
Lan Zhi said, "I was just saying it casually. If you don't want to, don't force it."
"Master, it's not that I don't want to, but I have a bad habit. I like to hug a big piece of pancake when I sleep, and I might nibble on it in the middle of the night..."
"Never mind."
Lan Zhi waved her hand, took out the white jade tree, picked up the body of the ferocious beast White Feicui, and threw it into the white jade tree.
Lan Zhi instructed the little hamster, "Amber, please pay more attention to this cub... By the way, what's the living environment like inside the white jade tree?"
"Great! There's abundant spiritual energy, green grass everywhere, and lots of rabbits, sheep, and pheasants. I just ate roasted rabbit... Well, to be precise, these animals aren't real animals. They're conjured up when the spiritual energy reaches a certain level! But they taste just like real meat, and even without seasoning, they're delicious. And after swallowing, every bite of meat transforms into pure, rich spiritual energy..."
Speaking of food, the little hamster talked incessantly, his eyes sparkling and his hands dancing with joy. "What a pity, only the beast tribe can enter the White Jade Tree. Otherwise, I really want you to go in and take a look, Master. Maybe you will be like me and want to live there forever and never want to come out!"
"Strong spiritual energy?" Lan Zhi frowned slightly.
