Starting With Contract Pets
chapter-130

The image stopped as soon as it reached the water surface. Su Bai was a little dumbfounded to see the situation in the space crack.

From what he saw, it appeared to be a gigantic whale-like creature. It was probably bigger than a town with a vast continent on its back as it floated lazily on the sea surface.

Many small whale-like creatures swam in and out of the mainland, but the smallest was still the size of an aircraft carrier.

"Was that a Kraken's nest?"

He looked questioningly at the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.

"Didn't you know that there's a Kraken's nest there?"

The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox snorted coldly.

"Of course, I didn't. I wouldn't have let my family build a home here if I had known. It should be fine, should it?" he asked bitterly. This discovery really made him be caught between joy and pain.

The Giant Kraken was now a pet that ordinary people could not contract. Such a behemoth nest could not only give him the opportunity to contract a Giant Kraken but also obtain the nest itself. The benefits were also enormous. If he could utilize this well, his family would instantly become among the top in the alliance.

Alas, he was a weakling right now. Let alone going over, he was only praying that the Krakens would not discover the space crack. Otherwise, his family's newly built manor would probably be gone. Contracting a Kraken was simply a fool's dream.

"I don't know, but this space crack is very stable and is deep in the ocean floor, so it should be fine."

The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox opened its mouth to spit fantasy power into the bottom of the reservoir. Part of the spiritual energy, which overflowed from the space crack, was divided away.

Still, it did not matter as the spiritual energy was too abundant here, and Su Bai's family could not possibly use it all up.

"You must fulfill your promise as soon as possible."

The Twelve-tailed Magic Fox glanced at the youth and turned into a bloody dreamy light before going inside its fantasy space.

"Sigh… Forget it."

Su Bai was about to say something but guessed that the senior fox would not listen.

He just did not expect that, despite the terrifying Kraken nest in the space crack, the it would still stay here instead of leaving.

"Mewling Fox, let's go."

He shook his head.

With the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox here, he was not afraid that Elder Tong would come to his house for revenge.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to have it here. As for the other things, he could take it slowly. Since the fox was already here, he did not have anything to fear.

More importantly, it was now a subordinate of his pet dragon. It could not hurt him easily, and he also had countermeasures against it.

"Hing!"

The Mewling Fox nodded and used its spiritual power to lift him out of the water.

"Whenever you're free, familiarize yourself with your senior fox. I can tell that she likes you; maybe she'll give you some good things."

He glanced at his pet.

Although Su Bai said that the Mewling Fox would surpass the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox sooner or later, he actually was not all too sure. The realm of fantasy and reality was too profound.

Even that senior fox needed to rely on external forces to comprehend it, so he was not very certain if his pet could do it. Nonetheless, if his pet stayed with the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox for a long time, it might have higher chances of comprehending the profound fantasy. After all, it had a good model to imitate.

Although the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox had this ability, it could not use it at will, and it needed to accumulate the power of dreams first. In any case, this would not hinder the learning of the Mewling Fox.

"Hing! ლ(^ω^ლ)"

Ah Bai, don't worry about me. I'm smart; I'll make sure to ask for senior's advice.

I think the senior's personality is very gentle. Although she seems dismissive of you, she actually admires and appreciates you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed you here.

His pet nodded as it showed an adorable appearance.

As soon as he left the reservoir, a magical force shot out from the water depths and hit him with water.

Su Bai: "…"

However, the power of dreams did not stop there. It directly flew and finally landed on the shield of Baiyue Manor.

The entire shield increased by another layer and then the dream power turned invisible.

Su Bai: "…"

The senior fox was definitely doing this on purpose.

"Son, what's going on? What happened? Who did that terrifying aura earlier belong to?"

His parents rushed over and looked at the shield as they asked worriedly.

The aura, which had just flown straight to the sky from the water depths, was simply too terrifying, making people feel frightened even from a distance.

"It's alright. I brought back a sovereign-level senior, and she'll be staying here in the future. As long as you don't disturb it, it's okay to pump water and raise fish as per normal."

"So… Sovereign?!" Father Su's eyes bulged to the size of saucers, and his mouth hung open.

Mother Su also looked like she was in a daze: Σ(°△°|||)_

Was it because their son was a different person outside? He was just a rookie, so how did he manage to bring back a sovereign-level pet?

The two of them seriously suspected that their son was the one being held hostage and the manor might even be dominated soon after.

"Let's go; I'll explain it slowly to you both."

Su Bai glanced at the water behind him, afraid of being splashed with water again.

"It's like this…"

At the embankment, he slowly recounted what he had encountered and told his parents not to be afraid of the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox as it was not a threat.

The more they listened, the more novel they felt, and the more dazed their expressions became.

It took them ten minutes to recover their senses following deep inhalations.

After not seeing their son for a month, he had actually become a Pet Tamer who dared to provoke an emperor pet. Their hearts simply could not take it.

Their son was too wonderful today.

"Good job! That kind of dishonorable senior who covets a junior's pet should indeed be taught a lesson. It's just a pity that the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox failed to kill him," exclaimed Father Su.

"Son, try enduring it a little unless it's the last resort next time. If you must, stab him in the back, rather than fighting him head-on. I'm just worried about your safety."

Mother Su patted her son's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

She could not control her son, who had grown up already, and could only try advising him.

"I know, mom."

Su Bai nodded helplessly.

He originally thought his parents would scold him, but they did not. Sure enough, they were still his loving and caring parents.

However, upon seeing the expression of the two adults, he still felt that he should keep the Kraken's nest a secret, or else they would be scared to death.

"Don't worry. Your mom and I will be careful in the future, too. You're the most important to us, so you should pay attention to your safety when you're outside. Although the bad elderly is severely injured, you may still be unable to defeat him. For now, don't go out unless necessary."

His father patted him on the shoulder as he persuaded him.

"Rest assured. I know my limits. I'll pay more attention."

He nodded.

At this moment, several dream fluctuations broke the water surface, throwing more than three hundred Flower-scented Dairy Cows to the shore.

"Moo…"

The cows raised their heads and mooed loudly with dumbfounded looks. Where was this and why were they here?

"This is?"

His parents also looked dumbfounded. All of a sudden, more than three hundred Flower-scented Dairy Cows had popped out here.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. These cows are ours. You can quickly sort out a pasture and start feeding them.

"The senior fox promised to give me these cows; they're not stolen or robbed."

He informed the two adults.

"Okay, I'll take care of them." Father Su nodded, starting to believe his son's words even more.

However, he was also a little helpless. He never imagined that his family would receive such a large batch of superb-quality cows for free and via such a peculiar way, too.

"Okay, then.I'll go back to the Azure Dragon Mound to rest first."

After handling the matters here, he retired to his hill.

He released his pets and fed them again before looking at their condition.

Although his pet had died once in a battle, its foundation had obviously solidified, and its aura was stable now. The biggest gain was that it now had an emperor subordinate, the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox.

Such an incident was extremely rare and could only happen by chance. Naturally, this brought along several benefits to his pet dragon.

As the pets ate, Su Bai realized that he had unknowingly gained two pets that were not afraid of death.

Both the baby dino and the little dragon would arrogantly say the 'death for many years' slogan to their opponents.

He thought about it and picked up his phone to call his master.

"Why did you call? Were you beaten outside? Fight back by yourself if you were and don't come find me."

His master's voice was loud and rough on the phone.

Su Bai: "No, I severely injured a senior egg appraiser with an emperor pet, so I'm panicking a bit now."

Gao An: "…"

"Are you kidding me? Do you believe that I'll go to catch you in your house now and throw you into an alternate world!" he yelled.

"No, master. Listen to me. I'm telling the truth. There's an injured sovereign pet in my family…"

Su Bai was about to explain when Gao An loudly interrupted him, "Bullshit, no way I'll believe you. How dare you toot your own horn to me? Do you think I'm not majestic or imposing at all? Wait for me…"

Su Bai was about to say something when his master hung up.

A few minutes later, a giant bird appeared outside the shield above the Azure Dragon Mound. Gao An, who was standing on the bird's back, held a teacher's ruler in his hand with a grim expression.

However, he received a shock at the sight of the shield. Were the kid's words for real?

He was not bluffing?

"Master, I was telling the truth." Su Bai opened the protective cover and spoke helplessly.

"Hmph! Who told you to make it so unclear on the phone?"

Gao An landed on the ground and hit his apprentice's head with the ruler. He then snorted coldly. "Is the sovereign pet in the reservoir? What's going on? Be at ease and tell me. It's only a sovereign pet, so there's no need to be afraid. I'm here."

He looked in the direction of the Construct Reservoir.

"It's like this, master…"

Su Bai obediently went over the story again.

Gao An stared incredulously at his apprentice after hearing the story. Finally, he laughed and patted the youth on the shoulder. "Beautifully done! You're indeed worthy of being my disciple. I didn't know that you're such a qualified Pet Tamer.

"As for that old man, don't worry about it. If he dares bully my disciple, I'll definitely ask the Egg Appraiser Association to give us an explanation."

In fact, if his disciple had given up his pet and had run back to tell him about this, he would never have said such words and would have directly ignored his plight.

However, Su Bai had really performed a satisfying job this time. Even in that situation, he did not give up his pet. The strongest point was that he had used the situation to resurrect the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox, indirectly beating the opponent half to death.

If it had not been for that slippery opponent being quick to escape, he might have been killed.

What was even more unbelievable was that he had not only let the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox help him beat the opponent half to death, he had even lured it back to his manor.

How could he have believed this?

He felt as though he was listening to a story, but everything was the truth.

"Thank you, master." Su Bai bowed quickly. In fact, he was not fearing for his life. He called his master over mainly because he was afraid that Elder Tong would come here and mess with his family.

"Hmph! I know that you didn't call me for anything good." Gao An snorted coldly.

"Hehe! Master, sit for a while; I'll pour some tea for you."

Su Bai chuckled.

The feeling of having someone cover for him was really satisfying.

"I'm in a hurry; I have to go now."

Glancing at his apprentice, Gao An jumped back on the Algae monster, which was in the form of a big bird, and left there and then.

Before Su Bai could say anything to keep him, his master flew out of sight.

"Forget it. I'll send some Purple Bird Tea over next time."

He shook his head helplessly. His master was too accustomed to arrogance.

He lay on the sofa and searched for any information related to Elder Tong. After surfing the net for some time, he shook his head in exasperation. There was not any reliable information online.

Nonetheless, since his master said that he would help him solve this matter, he would not keep thinking about it anymore. Dead or alive, Elder Tong definitely would not come find trouble with him—at least not on the surface.

Of course, he was still curious on how his master was going to solve the issue. Apart from directly asking his master, he did not have other channels to find information.

The main thing was because he was not a professional Pet Tamer, and there were many things he could not have access to, such as the internal network of the Pet Alliance.

"Sigh… I'll rest for a few days first, then prepare for the professional Pet Tamer examination in early December."

He took off his shoes and settled more comfortably on the sofa as he planned his next steps.

The Mewling Fox had just evolved, and its job right now was to follow the Twelve-tailed Magic Fox around to comprehend the profound meaning of fantasy.

Both the cub and the baby dragon still needed to stabilize their strength, but it was also time to consider their secondary evolution. Purple Jade's next stage of evolution was Sanctuary Wood Spirit.

It was best to have a potion made of special materials like the Emerald Heart to guide it. This would ensure that the cub could evolve into a warlord Sanctuary Wood Spirit.

This was unnecessary for the Little Blood Dragon, which was in a special situation. As long as it went to the Scarlet Wilderness and devoured enough blood pets, it could evolve independently.

Because the bloodline was a special force which stimulated potential and catalyzed mutation, his pet dragon could directly break through and evolve on its own.

Still, he would have to pay attention to its comprehension of the law and profound meaning.

As for the Little Tyrant, it had stayed at the warlord level for almost a month and had experienced a lot of battles. Later, he would add some more food to its meal so that it could easily break through to a mid-level warlord within half a month to a month.

Unfortunately, its evolution to a Purgatory Tyrant was the most difficult out of his four pets, for it had to be bathed in purgatory fire to evolve.

The purgatory fire was a kind of flame essence only found in the depths of a large volcano or in the lair of a monarch Purgatory Tyrant.

This was originally not a difficult task for normal Purgatory Tyrants in the wild. They lived in the depths of purgatory volcanoes all year round, and although the purgatory fire was precious, it was not difficult to find.

However, it was more troublesome for his pet dino as it did not live in a purgatory volcano.

Su Bai would either slowly search for information to try his luck in a volcano or spend money to buy purgatory fire.

He checked the price and was quite reluctant to purchase one. The quantity of purgatory fire his pet needed to break through would cost about eight or nine million, which he could not afford right now.

More importantly, he had to be a professional Pet Tamer to purchase that.

"Sh*t!" he cursed inwardly. It was too much.
