Xu Yuehuai's words made Bai Ze fall into deep thought. He didn't want to die like this, but he didn't know whether he should trust the human in front of him. He lay on the ground, barely alive, feeling his life slipping away. If he hadn't forcibly used his essence blood to drive the beast tide, he would never be so weak.
“…Okay.” Bai Ze agreed, but he vowed that if this human dared to play any tricks on him, he would do everything in his power to make her die with him!
Xu Yuehuai slowly approached Bai Ze. She did so smoothly and began to examine Bai Ze's wounds. Then she took out a few pills from her spatial storage and fed them to Bai Ze.
Bai Ze was initially unwilling to eat it, always feeling that Xu Yuehuai would tamper with the pills. "If you don't eat it, your spiritual energy will drain away even faster. If your spiritual energy is gone, your life will be the next thing to be lost. Think about it yourself."
Xu Yuehuai's patience was also limited. She could tolerate it once or twice, but after a while, she became impatient.
Xu Yuehuai walked to the side, looked at Bai Ze, and stopped treating him.
Seeing this, Bai Ze gave her a knowing look, then lowered his head, smelled the pills on the ground, and, finding them fine, put them in his mouth with his tongue.
The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and its effects quickly spread throughout the body. Xu Yuehuai said, "I treated you as agreed, and you should also stop the beast tide as agreed."
Bai Ze stood up from the ground, feeling much better than before. He was not a man of his word, so he roared at the surroundings as if giving an order.
Those waiting at the foot of the mountain heard another roar, and the spirit beasts began to frantically walk back without hesitation. Some wanted to chase after them to see what was happening, but Yueying said, "I advise you not to have any other thoughts. That spirit beast must be at least at the Saint rank. It must be incredibly powerful to be able to command so many spirit beasts. If your spiritual power increases, you will only become someone else's meal."
Upon hearing this, many people stopped in their tracks.
Some of the people who had seen the beast tide return overheard Yueying's words. When they learned that another girl had gone to the origin of the beast tide, the expressions of the people around them changed.
"That girl wouldn't happen to be from the Wuyue Sect, would she? Otherwise, why would Yueying be so protective of her?" One of them glanced at Yueying with disdain. "Pretentious hypocrite!"
Several people around, though not saying it aloud, probably shared the same thought.
Some of the leaders of the Wuyue Sect were displeased and retorted, "You guys are just spouting nonsense, nothing but filth!"
The man's face darkened at these words, and he pointed at the other man's nose, saying, "As a cultivator, how can you be so vulgar! You are simply unfit for such a refined manner!"
The man didn't care at all; his hair was tied high in a ponytail, and he wore a flamboyant red outfit. "So what if I say something to you?"
The young man had just arrived at this place and, after briefly understanding the situation, couldn't stand that the man was slandering a girl so readily. Besides, he himself longed to join the Wuyue Sect.
The Wuyue Sect is different from Qingcheng Academy. The Wuyue Sect focuses more on training and does chivalrous things, which is what he loves to do the most.
Yueying stood to the side without ever turning her head, as if everything that was happening here had nothing to do with her.
After watching him recall the beasts, Xu Yuehuai placed a few pills beside him, saying, "These pills can help you restore your essence and blood, but they will definitely not be as effective as before."
Bai Ze's eyes darted around as he looked at Xu Yuehuai with a questioning gaze, asking, "Aren't you going to make a pact with me?"
Xu Yuehuai chuckled lightly and said without much interest, "You're too weak, and I don't need a contracted beast that doesn't trust its companions."
Bai Ze choked, never expecting such an outcome. As a divine beast, he was someone countless people coveted. If he hadn't fought with people in the upper realms, he wouldn't have ended up in this state.
"I! I am an ancient divine beast, and my strength is not weak. I was just framed and haven't recovered yet. My wariness of you is only because I'm afraid of being hurt again!" Bai Ze hurriedly defended himself.
He knew very well that following Xu Yuehuai was the best outcome for him given his current situation.
But Xu Yuehuai didn't even bother with him.
"No need." With that, Xu Yuehuai turned and left. She had no interest in raising so many spirit beasts and pets.
She only realized in the last few days that raising these things requires resources, and she needs to provide them with countless rare treasures. For now, she only wants to do business here and doesn't want to raise children.
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's expression, Yuan Shui's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. "That's right, that's right. This Bai Ze is so weak, it's the right choice not to get rid of him. He's not even as good as one of my fingers. If it were an adult Bai Ze, we could consider it, but this one is clearly a cub."
Yuan Shui is incredibly stingy and doesn't want to share an owner with anyone else.
What he didn't realize was that he went from initially disdaining Xu Yuehuai and only using Xu Yuehuai to get out, to gradually becoming close to Xu Yuehuai, and now treating Xu Yuehuai as his master, all in just one or two months.
As Xu Yuehuai descended the mountain, the boy was still arguing incessantly with the other man.
The people around automatically formed a circle. The entrance to the tomb hadn't been opened yet, and everyone had nothing else to do, so why not watch a show?
This was the scene Xu Yuehuai saw when she came down. She glanced inside and realized that the young man was actually Cixi!
Xu Yuehuai stood outside watching with great interest when suddenly someone noticed her. "Hey girl, you've come down? We all thought you'd been eaten by the spirit beast up there!"
"What's up there? I can tell from that sound that it's not ordinary. It should be a spirit beast of Saint rank or higher. You didn't just take it for yourself, did you? Such a great opportunity is hard to come by!" A man with shifty eyes spoke with a hint of probing.
They were a team when fighting the spirit beasts, but now, many people had covetous eyes, wanting to see what treasures Xu Yuehuai had on him.
After observing her, several elders noticed a trace of a divine beast's aura emanating from her. One of them narrowed his eyes and said, "You've contracted a divine beast?"
Everyone else was shocked upon hearing this. "It's a divine beast! How could a divine beast appear in this place!"
"Could that girl have contracted with that divine beast? How strong must she be now? What if she snatches all the good stuff after we enter the secret realm?"
People didn't react much to the fact that Xu Yuehuai had a divine beast, since it's not something you can just contract with casually when you encounter a divine beast.
