White Jade: "..."
A hint of human-like anger appeared in its eyes. Its dark green pupils stared at Shangguan Jianxing, and it growled, "Ah!"
The white jade's mouth suddenly opened to an exaggerated arc, larger than its own body, with its chin directly against the ground. It pounced forward, as if it wanted to swallow Shangguan Jianxing from head to toe in one bite.
"Oh my God!" Shangguan Jianxing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He jumped away swiftly and hid behind Lan Zhi. He asked in surprise, "Can this ferocious beast you raised understand human language?"
Lan Zhi was also surprised, "I don't know, I never taught it to talk."
The white jadeite missed its attack and turned to face Lanzhi. Its mouth was still open, its throat was like a black hole, and its sharp teeth exuded a fierce aura. The white jadeite's mouth had covered its entire body, but two green eyes had grown on its tongue, so it did not affect its vision.
"Shut up!" Lan Zhi shouted.
The white jadeite let out a "woof" and glared at Shangguan Jianxing angrily with its two tongue-shaped eyes. Then it closed its mouth unwillingly. It walked in front of Lan Zhi and tilted its head, not knowing what it was thinking about.
The appearance of white jade is very deceptive. When it does not open its mouth, it looks like a giant cat, and a long-haired cat at that. Its body is covered with fur, but its limbs and head are more like a tiger. Its body size is like an adult horse. Overall, it is a beautiful white beast.
Lan Zhi raised her hand, intending to hit it, but when her hand came down, she softened the force and just touched it.
Soft, smooth and feels great.
Lan Zhi couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
Bai Feicui raised a paw, placed it on Lan Zhi's shoulder, and made two low "Awooo" sounds. Her tone was varied, sounding like she was acting coquettishly, but also like she was begging.
But it didn't realize its large size at all. After raising its front paws, its head was raised higher than Lanzhi's. This posture didn't seem like a sign of weakness, but rather a threat to others: Be quiet!
Lan Zhi swept its claws down and raised her palm to hit it.
Bai Feicui opened his eyes wide, and his dark green pupils revealed a bit of grievance and innocence. He did not run away because he had a contract with Lan Zhi and could not escape. So he lay down on the spot, his body instantly shortened, and raised his head slightly. He looked at Lan Zhi's slap cautiously with a timid expression, trying hard to pretend to be "I am very weak".
Lan Zhi: “…”
It’s a bit cute, but what should I do if I suddenly can’t bring myself to do it?
However, we must fight when necessary and not be soft-hearted.
Lan Zhi's spiritual power floated in her palm, but her wrist was caught by Shangguan Jianxing.
"What are you doing?" Lan Zhi subconsciously shook her hand, and the spiritual power in her palm was not wasted, and was thrown onto Shangguan Jianxing.
Shangguan Jianxing was struck hard by a spiritual palm strike, and suddenly he was sober. He had been concentrating on observing the ferocious beast, White Jade, and had forgotten that Lan Zhi was a woman, and that physical contact between men and women was forbidden. Shangguan Jianxing covered his lower right abdomen where he had been struck and explained, "I suddenly realized that the temperament of this ferocious beast is completely different from what I had read in the book before."
"Normally, fierce beasts are naturally proud, unwilling to compromise, and lacking in brains. They take a long time to tame. Some fierce beasts, after being contracted, will even try to commit suicide... But you seem a little different."
Shangguan Jianxing added, "I feel like the beast you contracted is relatively... docile?"
Bai Feicui felt that "docile" was not a good word, and it didn't have a good impression of Shangguan Jianxing, so it bared its teeth and looked extremely vicious. However, when it looked at Lan Zhi, it immediately became pitiful again. The transition between the two completely different expressions was quite natural.
Seeing this, Shangguan Jianxing changed his words and said, "I was wrong. It's not docile, it's cunning. It knows that what I said is not good, so it is hostile to me, but it knows that you are its master, so it is trying to please you and show weakness..."
"Also, its mouth can open so wide, even bigger than its own body..."
Lan Zhi said, "I thought other ferocious beasts were like this too."
Shangguan Jianxing shook his head: "No, I've seen many ferocious beasts, but the one you contracted is too strange..."
Lan Zhi thought that it might be because Bai Feicui's bloodline was more noble, and his brain was also better, so he knew that the beast was under the eaves and had to bow its head.
"Should I still beat it?" Lan Zhi asked.
"No need... You beat it to make it obedient and accustom it to fearing you. Over time, it will think you are invincible, which will reduce the risk of it devouring its owner in the future..." Shangguan Jianxing strung his voice into a line, ensuring his words reached only Lan Zhi's ears and not Bai Feicui's. "The beast you raise not only understands human language but also knows how to disguise itself. It's as cunning as a fox, so it can't be tamed using ordinary methods... I have no experience in this area, so you'll have to figure it out on your own... I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse for you."
Lan Zhi said, "There's something I haven't asked you. I contracted this beast right after it hatched, and I didn't let it go out to do evil. How did you still find it?"
"When a fierce beast is born, a corresponding star will appear. The star will not go out until it is contracted or dies..." Shangguan Jianxing frowned and said, "The astrologers of the Great Rui Kingdom should still be searching for you, but don't worry. I was born with heterochromia, so I can see you. Even so, it cost me a lot. As for those astrologers, they are not strong enough, so they can't find you."
Lan Zhi asked: "What price did you pay?"
"It's only three days of blindness, nothing to worry about."
“…”
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about how to maintain white jadeite." Shangguan Jianxing tried to change the subject.
"Let it starve. I don't want it to eat too much meat." Lan Zhi was very casual about this. She waved her hand and threw the white jade back into the white jade tree.
Shangguan Jianxing said, "You're truly guarding a treasure trove without even realizing it. The blood and flesh of the ferocious beast are both valuable. You can raise it stronger, then bleed it... Using its blood, combined with a medicinal bath, can strengthen a person's constitution. Furthermore, feeding its meat to ordinary people can nourish the body..."
Lan Zhi said, "Bleeding is fine, but cutting flesh is a bit cruel. I can't do that."
"If you're a bit extravagant, you can just make a pool of ferocious beast blood to bathe in... Paired with spirit stones, your cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Lan Zhi nodded: "Okay."
Shangguan Jianxing thought for a moment and then said, "I think this white jadeite is a bit cunning. If you bleed it, it might hold a grudge against you."
Lan Zhi agreed: "Indeed, I think so too, so I came up with a solution..."
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "What's the solution?"
