Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-122

Su Bai took a closer look at the spiritual plant. It turned out to be a Tier 3 intermediate Purple Sparrow Tea Tree. It was good stuff. No wonder they were being hunted down.

The said tree was a special kind of spiritual plant, where not only the leaves, even the fruits resembled sparrows. The most important was the tea leaves or the tea fruits would help in the understanding of profound meaning and law after consumption.

It was useful for both humans and pets.

If he could obtain the tea tree and pick its fruits and leaves for his pets to consume every day, then the slow accumulation would help them more quickly understand the basic profound meaning of controlling their wood, fire, and other skills.

Besides this function, the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree could also dredge the meridians, regulate the body, and balance the spiritual power.

It was a very good treasure for pets like his Ancestral Blood Dragon, which had broken through too quickly, allowing it to control its power faster.

The plant could also dredge the meridians and regulate the body if a human consumed it. Its effect was much better than that of an ordinary ginseng.

Thinking of this, he decided to seal the deal and immediately returned their message: Where are you guys? How strong are the people chasing you?

Zhao Li: Not very strong. The strongest is only a high-level warlord, but there are too many of them, or else we wouldn't have to ask for your help.

Li Hai: I'll share my location with you; come over quickly!

Su Bai kept his mobile phone and turned to Purple Jade, which was about to start fishing. "Plans have changed. Let's save them first. We'll come back to fish after the fight."

"Howl! (¬_¬)"

Didn't you just that say we would only have fun after two days?

The cub was speechless; it had already prepared itself to go fishing.

"Roar! (* ̆) ̆*)"

I'm best at fighting. Ah Bai, let's charge forward!

The Little Tyrant hammered its chest excitedly.

After he kept his three pets in his contract book, he quickly departed from the villa onboard a super-fast rental bird, heading straight to the Chinese Redbud Wilderness.

He entered the monster wilderness and went straight to where Zhao Li and the others were.

They were not deep within the monster wilderness but were closer to the edges.

The fringes were not usually explored by Pet Tamers because these parts of the wilderness had thin layers of defense and scarce treasures.

Some time later, Su Bai rushed to the coordinates given but failed to see anyone. He sent a message and received no reply.

"Buddy, activate Forest's Rhythm and find them."

He released the little dragon and told it to hide in preparation for a sneak attack.

After chasing for about five or six kilometers, he finally heard sounds of fighting and went over to investigate. Six middle-aged people were chasing Zhao Li's group with two high-level warlords and four mid-level warlords.

Activating the concealment skill, Su Bai chased them into the forest with his pets. He looked at the six joyous people in front of him and shouted, "Stop resisting immediately! You've already been surrounded!"

His voice almost scared the six people half to death.

What the f*ck! They were surrounded?

They turned their heads in horror but could not see anyone as if they had encountered a ghost.

"No, it's a concealment skill. Let's quickly find this guy. Everyone, stay close!"

The expression of one middle-aged man changed and he quickly issued this command.

However, as soon as his voice fell, a red figure flashed by, and the high-level warlord two-headed Blue Crystal Snake beside him disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace of its breath.

"What happened?" asked the others in horror.

"My pet is dead; its breath is gone."

When the middle-aged man opened his contract book, the page that belonged to this pet had already dimmed.

"Let's go! Their support is too strong." They unanimously chose to retreat. The strength of this support, who had just killed a high-level warlord in seconds, was too terrifying.

When Zhao Li and the others heard Su Bai's voice, they quickly turned around and said, "Let's fight back; Su Bai is here to save us!"

When they returned to the battlefield from the rear, they saw Su Bai walking toward them with his pet and his hands in his pockets.

"Where are they?" asked Li Xing in surprise.

"My pet killed one of their pets, so they all ran away," Su Bai took out a blue crystal nucleus and shook it in front of them.

"Your pet really killed the two-headed Blue Crystal Snake alone?"

Li Hai looked around as if anticipating a second person.

Zhao Li and the others also stared in disbelief. They did not believe that this youth was so strong as it was simply impossible.

Even if he had a high-level warlord, his pet could not drive away the other six people alone, right? The opponents actually had two high-level warlords.

In the end, they all attributed this to his background, thinking that he had called someone but that person had left to kill the opponents and Su Bai just did not want to disclose it.

They never imagined that he actually had an Ancestor Blood Dragon.

"Where's the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree? You can keep one fruit each and give me the rest."

Su Bai put back his hand in his pocket. It did not matter whether they believed him or not; the most important thing was that he had rescued them by himself and fulfilled his promise.

"Over here."

Li Hai took out a transparent glass tube to reveal a one-meter-tall Purple Sparrow Tea Tree before releasing it. The tree's ten fruits were quickly distributed among themselves. Each of them took one, while Su Bai got to keep six.

"Thanks." Li Xing took the lead to pick a tea fruit, thanking Su Ba with a smile.

As she thanked him, she leaned against the tree next to him. After being chased for so long, their physical strength had already reached its limit.

"Ah… Give me a hand…"

She did not stabilize herself for some reason and staggered over to Su Bai's side.

Turning around, he thought for a while and still took a step back slightly.

The cub held her steady using Vine Whip.

Li Xing: "…What d'you mean by taking a step back? Would it kill you to give me a hand?"

When he stepped back, she was rendered completely exasperated. She was such a beautiful girl, who did not let just anyone give her a hand!

Su Bai was silent for a while before replying, "Boys and girls shouldn't touch hands. I'm afraid that you'll fall for me, but I already have a girlfriend."

Li Xing: "…"

The others: "…"

"Okay. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. Just relax by yourselves."

As he said, he carefully packed the tree.

"Thank you so much, but we don't want to continue exploring anymore. Let's go out to eat; we'll treat you!" Wang Li pulled Zhao Li and said.

"Yes, we'll treat you to a meal." Li Hai also concurred. After they spent some time together, they found that Su Bai was a very reliable guy, though slightly indifferent when things did not profit him.

"Buddy, do you want to eat or go fishing?"

Su Bai did not answer them immediately and looked at the cub, instead.

"Howl! (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"

I wanna eat something delicious!

The cub showed an obedient expression. How could fishing compare with eating a big meal?

It was terribly smart and naturally would not make the wrong choice.

"Okay, then. Let's go out to eat." Su Bai nodded and accepted their proposal.

In fact, he did not want to go, as there were a bunch of girls, and he did not want Chen Rouxue to misunderstand.

However, since Purple Jade wanted to have a big meal, he could not refuse.

"Su Bai, what does your family do? Can't you disclose it?" curiously asked Li Xing on the way.

He stepped back. "I already said that my family had just opened a manor to sell spiritual plants. If you don't believe it, then forget it."

He had spoken the truth, but no one believed him.

They still had disbelief written all over their faces.

"By the way, have you heard about the giant Insect King Flower in the insect ruins? It's said that more than billions of insect monsters have been attracted by it to commit suicide so far.

"They even said that the Insect King Flower is about to bloom and that the insect queens will be attracted by it at that time. Now, a lot of people, including foreign Pet Tamers, are rushing over just so they can explore the insect ruins," Wang Li said.

"Who doesn't know that? What I care about is whether we have a chance to pass or not. The insect ruins are too dangerous, and the fight for treasures may bring another bloody storm."

Li Xing stretched and said, showing her white waist and belly button.

"You rookies shouldn't go; I won't be able to save you inside," Su Bai said mercilessly, ignoring the fact that Li Xing had just shown her small waist to him.

Chen Rouxue was thinner than her, and he had even personally touched her before, so he was not in the slightest bit tempted.

The group of people quickly left the Chinese Redbud Wilderness. Li Hai took the initiative to lead the team as she said, "Everyone, follow us; I know a very good place to eat at."

They followed the twins and arrived at a tall hotel soon.

"Everyone, eat whatever you want today. It'll be our treat; this restaurant is our family's." Li Hai grinned.

Although slightly shocked, Su Bai and the others still thought that it was only normal. If they could enter the city team and train their pets to such a level, these sisters' family definitely was not ordinary.

"Roar~ ̄『 ̄"

It smells so good here~ The Little Tyrant wanted to eat a big meal.

After it was released by Su Bai from the contract book and smelled the fragrance in the air, the little dino's saliva almost dripped out.

"Weep weep…"

It smells so good~

The greedy Mewling Fox, which was also hungry, could not resist the delicious torture.

Li Xing and Li Hai: "…"

Were these pets really going to eat until they were broke?

"Wait, you own three pets?" Li Xing suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Zhao Li, Wang Li, and Li Hai also reacted. "You have three pets, and two are warlords. How did you manage that?"

"They just advanced while I was raising them." He spoke casually while he ate.

The others: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

B*llsh*t!

They finally believed that the boy had indeed defeated those six people by himself. His speed of progress was too terrifying.

Compared to him, they were nothing but rubbish.

It was such a depressing topic.

After eating, Zhao Li suggested again, "Shall we go out and play together to relax?"

"You guys go ahead; I won't be joining. Thanks for the treat; I'll go back now."

Shaking his head in rejection, he left the hotel with his pets fully fed and satisfied.

...

At the Blue Moon Cultivation House.

"Teacher Hou, Brother Hou, here's something good for you."

Su Bai threw two tea fruits over with a smile.

"The Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit! It's really good stuff; where did you get these?" Hou Lan was quite surprised. He had always wanted to plant this but unfortunately did not have any seeds.

The tree of this fruit could only be germinated by splitting the seedlings and could not be planted.

"Do you have the tea leaves? I prefer its leaves." Hou Jie blinked.

"Of course, I have a whole tea tree here, but I can't pick its leaves now. I'll plant this first and give some to you later.

"By the way, my manor has already been completed. When Brother Hou and I return from the seminar, please visit our manor as guests. There are many interesting things inside.

"I'll call Rouxue and Jiang Yang to come along, too, at that time. How about having dinner together at my house?"

Su Bai suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea. Then, we'll pick a time in August to visit."

Hou Jie thought about it for a while and agreed. She also wanted to see what Su Bai's large manor looked like.

"Su Bai, come with me. I happen to have a ready-made spiritual field on my side. You can use it for planting the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree," said Hou Lan.

"How much is it? I'll buy it."

"You already gave me the Purple Sparrow Tea Tree's seedlings, so there's no need to haggle over money. Consider it a gift."

Shaking his head, the man handed him a palm-size box filled with three dimensions of spiritual soil.

"Thank you, Brother Hou." Su Bai thought for a while and did not refuse, or else he would seem too distant to them.

After taking the spiritual soil, he chatted with the two for a bit and then left. In fact, he had come here mainly to send them the spiritual fruits, but who would have thought that they would send him home with a 3D spiritual soil of a higher value?

He was about to call a flying bird home when his phone rang. He picked up his master's call a little apprehensively.

"Hello, master; how are you doing?" He answered the phone and greeted the elderly chairman quickly.

"Hmph! Of course, I'm fine." Gao An snorted coldly on the phone. "What've you been doing these days? Why haven't you come over to see me? I'm in the cultivation base; get over here quickly."

"Okay, master; I'll be right there fast." He dared not refuse and quickly agreed.

As soon as his voice fell, his master hung up.

"Howl?"

What's wrong, Ah Bai?

The cub was quite puzzled.

"Nothing. Let's go to my master's place now." He caressed the cub and said.

It was not that he did not want to go there; he just did not want to disturb his master and was also busy cultivating pets all day long. His knowledge of cultivation had not improved much, so he was afraid of appearing in front of the old man.

Su Bai came to the cultivation base in a jittery mood. He thought that his senior brother would come to open the door, but his master came out, instead.

"Hello, master."

He hurriedly saluted to the old man, thinking that his brother probably was not around.

"Hey, your physical fitness has improved a lot, and there are four signs of support power. One of them is terrifying and comparable to a monarch. Have you contracted a monarch pet?"

The more Gao An looked at his apprentice, the more surprised he was.

Su Bai was just as shocked as he was. His master was too impressive and could tell that there were several pets in his body supporting him just by a single glance. No, he had to eat more Purple Sparrow Tea Fruit to adjust the system.

"Master, let's talk inside; it's not suitable to talk here," he said.
