Chapter 14: Change

  Insufficient balance

  When Xiao Xi arrived at the dormitory, he saw the terrible scene and found that he had underestimated Zheng Feng's soul beast. In his opinion, the soul beast that could be contracted by Zheng Feng couldn't be too powerful, or even an attacking-type soul beast, because auxiliary-type soul beasts have lower requirements for contracting, and his own Crowned Iguana was an auxiliary-type soul beast.

  Although he saw Zheng Feng's tiger head tattoo, which should be a tiger-type soul beast, the type of soul beast is not something that can be determined by appearance alone.

  For example, the rare elemental spirit, I heard that the body is small and cute, but it was born as a powerful magician, fire attack absolutely enough fierce. And he had seen other scouts in the barracks have a soul beast called Wind Chasing Tiger, which belongs to herbivores with no attacking ability, but moves at high speed, making it a good mount. That's why he thought Zheng Feng's tiger head tattoo was also an auxiliary soul beast.

  I thought that with Zheng Feng having an auxiliary soul beast, he would be fine even if he didn't use it, as the soul beast's natural instinct is to protect him. That's why he said Ah Tong was worrying for nothing, with the soul beast's protection, other kids shouldn't be able to hurt Zheng Feng. Xiao Xiu had no idea that his teeth were completely unrelated to the herbivorous animal he imagined, but were absolutely 100% pure, natural, ferocious, carnivorous, and the king of the jungle.

  Although this situation was not what Xiao Xiu had expected, it had already happened and regret would be of no use. Moreover, in his opinion, as long as Zheng Feng was fine, the entire orphanage would be okay.

  Xiao Xiu thought that except for Ya Tou, the other children in the orphanage wouldn't have much talent, but he had underestimated this little monster. Thinking about it, a child who had successfully signed a beast soul contract before even awakening to his beast soul power was already in his orphanage, and would surely make a big splash in the future, earning him a lot of face.

  Moreover, what if Zheng Feng makes a mistake, how will he deal with Ya Tou when she comes back to settle the score in the future? He has no idea how to handle the grown-up and crazy Ya Tou, just thinking about it is terrifying.

  Three days later, the orphanage was still as usual, with some practicing and others performing "The Six Kingdoms' Grand Marshal". Jiang Bao's death seemed to have brought no special impact, just like Jiang Hu's death in the past. It had passed, and the dead were not strangers to them; what mattered was that they themselves were still alive.

  Xiao Xiuxiu looked at Zheng Feng, who had just woken up, with a bitter smile. This kid has become so fond of sleeping lately. This time when he woke up, Zheng Feng didn't shout "Sister Yaotou", but his condition wasn't good, he became silent and dull, and his expression was stupid. It seems that Yaotou's departure, being bullied by everyone, and witnessing Jiang Bao's death, this series of events had a great impact on him.

  Xiao Xiu saw that the previously lively Zheng Feng had become like this now and couldn't help but let out a sigh of frustration. But what needed to be asked still had to be clarified.

  Then, Xiao Xiuyi asked Zheng Feng, "What's going on with your beast soul contract?"

  Zheng Feng heard Xiao Xiu's question and replied vaguely: "Beast Soul Contract? I don't know."

  Xiao Xiu pointed at the tattoo on Zheng Feng's right arm and said: "Then where did this tattoo come from?"

  Tattoo? Zheng Feng looked at the place Xiao Xiuyi pointed to, his arm, and lifted up his sleeve to take a look. Where was there a tattoo? He curiously looked back at Xiao Xiuyi.

  Zheng Feng turned over his clothes and didn't find any tattoos. This Xiao Xiu naturally also saw, but how is it possible? Yesterday he had clearly checked, so why weren't they there today?

  At this time, they heard a "meow", and then Ya poked out from under Zheng Feng's quilt.

  Looking at the sudden appearance of Ya, Xiao Xiu seemed to understand something and said: "So it's an autonomous soul beast, no wonder you've been sleeping a lot these days." Autonomous soul beasts are not fond of transforming into beast tattoos and falling asleep. They like to follow their masters around, able to respond in time when there is danger, but they also need to constantly consume the power of the beast soul, and sleep is an instinctive manifestation of the body replenishing its beast soul power.

  "Yā originally was a soul beast." Zheng Feng gently stroked Yā and replied. He wasn't surprised by this answer, even the other kids knew that Yā was a soul beast, he had been taught so much by his sister Lian Tou. After what happened with Jiang Bao, how could he still not understand?

  Xiao Xiu looked at the cute little cat, it was hard to imagine that it had killed Jiang Bao so ruthlessly. Since Zheng Feng already understood the cat's identity, he directly asked: "Can you tell me about your relationship with this little cat?"

  Zheng Feng himself was also unclear why teeth would appear in the forest, he could only tell what he knew to Xiao Xiu.

  When Zheng Feng said that he saw Jiang Bao's death and fainted, Xiao Xiu sighed and said: "The arrangement of fate is indeed wonderful, this may be the beast god's blessing to you."

  Xiao Xiu wasn't curious about the tooth itself, after all it was just a earth spike, many earth attribute soul beasts had this skill, nothing special. What he was curious about was how Zheng Feng, a child, could successfully sign a contract.

  Humans always attribute things they can't understand to divine beings.

  Xiao Xiu told Zheng Feng not to overuse his teeth, otherwise he would fall asleep again to replenish his soul power, and then left the dormitory. Leaving Zheng Feng alone in the quiet dormitory.

  ......

  The scorching sun is in the sky, in the back mountain of Tianlong Emperor Capital, at the same time, in the same place, but it has long been different from before.

  Zheng Feng's whole body was drenched in sweat, his entire body weak, lying on the stone slab in a big character shape, his teeth clenched beside him, and all around them were pits and fragmented stone pillars.

  Ya Tou has been away for two years, and Zheng Feng is now 7 years old. He used to be less than a meter tall, but he has grown more than 30 centimeters and is almost 140 centimeters now. The childishness on his face has not completely disappeared, but the innocence of before is gone. His silver hair covers his eyes, and it's clear that he hasn't taken good care of it. He lies on a large rock, staring at the sky that has never changed, lost in thought.

  Its teeth have changed a lot compared to the beginning. First, its originally pure yellow hair began to appear black stripes, and the mane on its neck turned white. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, no longer just two tiger teeth as before.

  Its limbs also have sharp claws. But the biggest change is its body shape, it was originally the size of a palm, now standing up to Zheng Feng's chest. Completely transformed into the original form of the king of the forest. If not for its unchanged call, it would be unrecognizable.

  "Meow~" The voice that didn't match his physique at all came from the mouth full of sharp teeth, making people wonder if they had misheard.

  Zheng Feng looked at the dog calling out to him and said helplessly, "Hungry again? Didn't I just feed you this morning?"

  The cat's head kept sweeping back and forth across Zheng Feng's face, meowing incessantly.

  Zheng Feng thought gloomily: other people's beast souls can be fed with just beast soul power, but mine needs to be fed three meals a day. What kind of world is this? Alas... since Ya grew up, the mountain chickens and wild rabbits in the forest have become fewer and fewer, I don't know if there will be any harvest this time.

  He didn't want to think about who he had learned his gluttony from.

  Thought so, but the body still got up and decided to go into the forest to hunt for prey.

  ......

  On the other side of the woods, a large crowd was busy surrounding a girl in a qipao.

  Two servants in the crowd were complaining to each other:

  "I really don't know why, but today Princess Chang suddenly had a craving to go hunting and was preparing the carriage and hunting gear early in the morning."

  "Hey, what's that supposed to be? We specifically ran to the market and bought a lot of wild chicken and rabbit cages, waiting for you downstairs."

  Still have to rush ahead of Princess Chang and "release" (the animals), can't be discovered, or else it'll be a disaster.

  The first servant looked at him with sympathetic eyes after hearing this, he had done it too, and it wasn't easy.
