Chapter 18: Molested

  The snow fox lying on the ground stared at the weak human turning to leave, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment... What's going on? Shouldn't this human take advantage of its injuries, capture it, and then find a beast tamer to tame it? Why did he leave... This doesn't make sense! The clever snow fox was perplexed and conflicted...

  "Huh? Its injuries have all healed? Its spiritual energy has also recovered? Let me try... It really has healed! It's that Dan medicine..."

  The snow fox watched as the human walked further and further away, then quickly got up from the ground and chased after.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the gigantic snow fox that was over two meters tall and blocked her way, somewhat perplexed.

  "Why don't you catch me and find a beast tamer to tame me?" Snow Fox asked with great puzzlement, and in those beautiful purple crystal-like eyes, there was an unusual hint of shyness.

  "Don't you think that humans should capture and tame you when you're heavily injured, then find a beast tamer to make a contract with?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "Hmm." The snow fox nodded its large head honestly, shouldn't humans be like this?

  "Not everyone likes to take advantage of others' misfortunes," said Leng Ruoxue, who had always believed in her past life that animals were the best friends of humans, at least more trustworthy than some humans. Her grandfather had also told her that humans and spiritual beasts should be the best of friends. So, whether it was her grandfather or brother, they all treated their spiritual beasts as members of their family. The Leng family would never treat their spiritual beasts as tools to be exploited.

  The snow fox lowered its head, thought for a moment, and then raised its majestic head again, looking at the cold-as-snow figure.

  "I may be a spiritual beast, but I also know how to repay kindness. You saved me, and I am willing to acknowledge you as my master." The snow fox said that if this human had forced it, with its high-ranking spiritual beast's pride, it would rather die than acknowledge a master, but this human did not do so. On the contrary, it was the snow fox who owed this human a favor, and the purple-eyed snow fox hated owing others favors the most.

  After finishing speaking, a direct contract was made. A golden contract array appeared under the feet of one person and one beast. When the contract array disappeared, the contract was formally established.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the large fox in front of her with some speechlessness. She hadn't said that it must repay her kindness, so why was it being so stubborn?

  But what was that contract just now? Why is it another type of contract she doesn't know about? Who said contracts only come in 'Equal Contracts' and 'Master-Servant Contracts', isn't this obviously a scam? Leng Ruoxue seethed inwardly.

  "Master, that's a soul contract, it's only used by spiritual beasts with inherited memories. However, very few spiritual beasts will actively acknowledge humans as their masters, so humans are not aware of the existence of this contract." The snow fox, who clearly understood her master's thoughts, explained that the contract was used by spiritual beasts with inherited memories when they actively acknowledged a master, and humans couldn't possibly know about it. Moreover, spiritual beasts that actively acknowledged a master didn't need to be tamed, which was also unknown to humans.

  Is it a soul contract? But it seems to be somewhat different from Baby's.

  "What's this about inherited memory?" asked Leng Ruoxue thoughtfully. If she wasn't mistaken, when the baby had first acknowledged its master, it had also said that the contract was something known from birth - did that count as an inherited memory?

  "That's a way of inheritance that only spiritual beasts with ancient noble bloodlines possess. When they're first born, they'll only have partial inherited memories, and as they advance in rank, their inherited memories will become more and more numerous." Snow Fox explained.

  After listening to Snow Fox's explanation, Leng Ruo Xue understood. To put it simply, this inherited memory is the legacy of a certain spiritual beast family.

  "Do you have a name?" asked Leng Ruoxue, looking at Snow Fox suddenly.

  "I don't have a name," Snow Fox replied, although the spiritual beasts that knew it called it Purple Pupil, but it didn't think that was its name.

  "Then I'll call you Mei from now on!" said Leng Ruo Xue after some thought.

  "Thank you, Master." said Violet-Eyed Snow Fox happily.

  "Mei, don't you think you should go wash up?" Ling Ruo Xue reminded her in a subtle tone. It's said that the purple-eyed snow fox is very fond of cleanliness, especially when it comes to their snowy white fur, they take extra care of it, treasuring it like a precious gem. In short, they are quite vain foxes.

  Mei lowered her head and took a glance at herself before turning around and running away.

  After a while, Mei ran back again. Leng Ruoxue looked at the snow-white giant fox in front of her and couldn't help but admire its beauty.

  Its snow-white fur shone brightly in the sunlight, looking extremely soft and smooth. With a body over two meters tall, its water-like purple crystal-like eyes seemed like a large plush toy. Such a beautiful spirit beast, I believe no woman can resist it!

  "Master, can we not leave here for the time being?" Mei thought for a moment before making the request. Since she had acknowledged him as her master, she would naturally have to leave with him, but...

  "Why?" Cold-as-Snow looked puzzled. She was here to gain experience and wouldn't stay in one place for too long, besides this forest was too big and she hadn't walked far yet!

  "Master, come with me."

  "Master, you'd better put this big crawling thing away first!" Mei pointed at the large ice block.

  "This is your spoils of war." said Leng Ruoxue, how could she snatch things from her own beast?

  "What's mine is my master's, and masters are quite common in the forest, which is why no one is as kind as you." Mei said, its master was different from others, not as hypocritical as those greedy humans.

  Is she kind? She doesn't think so, she's just more principled and won't bully casually. If she does bully, it's those who are not pleasing to her eyes, such as the Seventh Prince.

  After putting that gecko into the storage ring, Leng Ruoxue followed Mei to a cave, which seemed to be its home.

  "Is this the Spirit Fruit?" Cold-as-Snow gazed at the small tree in front of her, about half a meter high, with five green fruits the size of an infant's fist hanging from it, clearly still unripe.

  "Hmm, it's almost ripe. I've been guarding it for a long time. That big crawling thing was competing with me for it, that's why we fought." Mei explained.

  "Bring it to my space!" Leng Ruoxue said, the Bixian fruit was also a heavenly material treasure, but compared to those in her 'Qiankun Ring', it was much inferior.

  Space? The master looked at himself in a puzzled manner, the Ling Spirit Fruit was a good thing, useful for both humans and spiritual beasts. Humans who ate it could increase their spiritual energy, while spiritual beasts that ate it could advance in rank. However, it seemed like the master wasn't very interested.

  Good heavens! What kind of place is this? Looking at the vast expanse of medicinal fields in front of her, she was stunned and didn't recognize any of them. However, as a spiritual beast, it was very sensitive to precious treasures, so it knew that those were absolutely good things, even better than the Bi Ling fruit that it treasured. No wonder its master wasn't that interested in the Bi Ling fruit.

  "Master, this..."

  "This is what I meant by space, isn't it pretty good?"

  "It's more than just okay..." Mei didn't know what else to say, and could only comment that its owner was very perverted.

  "Sister, let's plant this little tree here!" Qing Jue pointed to a vacant piece of land and said. After removing a layer of seal, two more pieces of land appeared, but whatever was planted was arranged and managed by Qing Jue.

  "Alright, is baby awake?" After entering the forest, baby became sleepy, so Leng Ruo Xue put him in the Purple Bamboo House.

  "Not at all!"

  "Master, he..." Meizi looked at the little milk doll again and then at her master, with a face full of question marks.

  "He is Qing Jue, the spirit of the 'Qian Kun Chui' artifact. From now on, if you want to enter or leave here, just talk to him." explained Leng Ruo Xue.

  "When the Lingguo fruit is ripe, I'll refine it into a pill for you to eat." Leng Ruo Xue added that refining it into a pill would minimize the destruction of the medicinal properties of the heavenly material and earthly treasure.

  "Is the master a Dan Master?" Mei exclaimed in surprise, no wonder the master had such magical pills, after eating just one, his injuries were completely healed and his spiritual power was restored, it turned out that the master himself was a Dan Master.

  "Hmm, let's stay here for a few days before leaving?" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said. In the space, the Biling fruit would be ripe in less than two days, and this was also the territory of Mei, so it would be very safe, which is why she decided to refine the Biling Dan before leaving.

  The cat nodded its head, of course it was listening to its master.

  Three days later, in the Purple Bamboo House.

  Leng Ruo Xue gazed at the crystal clear green elixir in her hand, although it was her first time using Bili Spirit Fruit to refine a pill, but the result wasn't bad, she had successfully refined 20 Bili Spirit Pills. The Bili Spirit Pill was only an intermediate level elixir, and after this period of non-stop practice, she could now refine high-level elixirs, so refining the Bili Spirit Pill didn't pose any difficulty for her.

  After refining the elixir, Cold-as-Snow had just exited the 'Qian Kun Bracelet' when she heard an angry voice shouting "You actually acknowledge humans as masters..."

  Right after that, she was hugged by a full-body fluffy purple spirit beast. Before she could even see what kind of spirit beast it was, her absolutely beautiful face was kissed on the cheek.

  Was she... Was she molested by the spiritual beast?
