The snow-white little fluffy ball clung tightly to Ye Xiruo's sleeve, its golden eyes looking at her with a pitiful expression. Ye Xiruo really couldn't bear to leave it there alone, but as a weakling, she was well aware of her own limitations. It was so small, definitely just a cub, and it didn't have any of the inherited techniques of demon beasts. It would be too unfair for this little fluffy ball to stay with her.
If Ye Xiruo looked at Xiu Qiyu, help!
"It can be your contracted beast, an equal contract, which is good for both of you."
That's a good idea. Ye Xiruo pulled Xiaobao out of the contract space, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was also pulled out by her.
When Xiao Bao, the adorable pet, opened its sleepy eyes and saw the little fluffy ball, it actually stretched out its two chubby little paws, hugged its head, and then turned its rear end towards Ye Xiruo, as if to say that it didn't want to talk and asked everyone to ignore it.
Through the contract, Ye Xiruo sensed the profound fear in Xiao Bao's eyes, which even greatly affected his mind. What could cause Xiao Bao such terror was this little fluffy ball in front of him. For a moment, Ye Xiruo was at a loss for words. Both species were undeniably adorable; logically, two pets should have common ground, perhaps even engaging in intellectually stimulating games like comparing who was cuter. Unexpectedly, the outcome was quite different.
Ye Xiruo poked the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine. Wasn't this guy usually so arrogant? He acted like he was going to fly to the heavens, but now he'd turned himself into a dry twig, playing dead. No matter how much Ye Xiruo called out, he didn't respond. She even heard the Azure Lotus Genius say, "Let her die in peace!"
One by one, there's definitely something wrong with this little fluffy ball. Ye Xi picked up the little fluffy ball and examined it carefully for a while, even releasing her mental energy to sense it. It was still just an ordinary little fluffy ball, and she couldn't even sense its specific level.
"Brother Xiu Qi, have you discovered something?"
"This spirit beast has a very high innate bloodline and may even possess the bloodline of a divine beast, which is why Xiao Bao and Xiao Lü were so frightened."
"A divine beast!" Ye Xiruo's eyes began to light up. A divine beast is definitely a magical species. In previous transmigration novels, it was written that the protagonist's contracted pet must be a divine beast. When a divine beast is angry, blood flows for thousands of miles.
"Do you think the one in the inner circle might be related to the little fluffy ball?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that. You can ask it after you form a contract with the little thing."
"Little fluffy ball, would you like to come with me?"
He nodded.
"Very well," Ye Xiruo continued, "would you be willing to sign an equal contract with me? Your divine beasts have such long lifespans. After I die, you must take good care of me."
The little fluffy ball nodded.
"It really understands what I'm saying," Ye Xiruo said with relief.
Ye Xiruo forced a drop of blood from her fingertip, which fell into the air. The little fluffy ball somehow managed to force out a drop of golden blood as well. The two drops of blood, containing enormous energy, merged together in mid-air. At the same time, the power of the contract gradually enveloped the human and the beast.
During this process, the entire back mountain fell into a terrifying silence. All the flowers, birds, insects, and beasts huddled together, trembling. Under this terrifying aura and oppressive force, they felt they could die at any moment.
Those powerful demons with inherited memories felt a deep fear; their slumbering companion, whom they knew had lasted for an unknown period, had now awakened. This oppressive aura carried a sacred undertone; though still weak, its power was incredibly chilling. What had happened?
Xiu Qiyu watched Ye Xiruo and the little fluffy ball's contract from the side. Stimulated by the pressure of the two bloodlines, Xiu Qiyu's bloodline power also began to stir. His jet-black hair suddenly grew wildly to his ankles and turned ice-blue. His already handsome face now had even more deep features, making him look more beautiful and otherworldly than an ordinary person. Countless ice-blue snowflakes danced around him, and the space around him was also imprisoned. All of this was beyond Xiu Qiyu's control.
The bond was formed in a short time. The two drops of blood, one red and one gold, quickly merged in mid-air, then split into two parts, turning into two streams of light that flew into the foreheads of Ye Xiruo and the little fluffy ball, respectively.
The moment the contract between the two was officially established, Ye Xiruo sensed the little fluffy ball's thoughts and was able to communicate with it in her sea of consciousness.
At the same time, Ye Xiruo discovered that the contract between herself, the Bloodthirsty Demon, and Xiao Bao had broken. This was obviously not a coincidence. This little thing was so domineering. She was afraid that she could only contract this one demon beast in her life.
But it didn't matter to her; she didn't need to collect so many spirit pets to fight for her and protect her.
However, Xiaobao and Efficiency Bar have been with me for so long, so I've developed some feelings for them.
"Little Green, get up. Stop pretending to be dead. I'm giving you a choice: continue to be my pet, or choose freedom."
"Xiao Bao, you don't need to choose. Just come with me. I'm afraid you'll starve to death."
Forced to break their contract, the two pets harbored no resentment whatsoever. In truth, they weren't even sure what breed the little creature was, but they were certain that if they were to live with it, they would surely perish. Both pets were well aware of their own limitations.
The Bloodthirsty Vine was seriously considering its options, but ultimately chose to leave. It could never truly grow stronger by Ye Xiruo's side; it needed to become even stronger.
"Little Green, have a safe trip. If things don't work out, you can always come back."
The Bloodthirsty Vine darted into the back mountain like a slippery eel.
"Oh no, I forgot to move it to a different spot. The back mountain is so dangerous at night. The Bloodthirsty Vine doesn't seem to be of very high quality. I hope it won't die!"
The little fluffy ball licked its tender white paws. Since its master cares about that good-for-nothing, it should be allowed to live! As for the other good-for-nothing that Ye Xiruo was holding in her arms, it would teach it what it means to be a wise man when you know when to yield.
After the contract ended, the power of his bloodline gradually dissipated, and Xiu Qiyu returned to normal, gaining a deeper understanding of his own bloodline power.
"Brother Xiu Qi, what's wrong?" His aura was somewhat sharp.
"I'm fine. Did the contract succeed?"
"That's great, it's much easier for us to communicate now."
When Ye Xiruo told Xiu Qiyu about how the little fluffy ball had forcibly severed her ties with her other two pets, Xiu Qiyu's awe of the little fluffy ball grew even stronger.
