C19 Fck! the Socalled Contract!

"You could say that, but the spirit beast must willingly form the contract. Otherwise, even if it bites me to death, the contract won't be established," Chu Yuan replied.

"So, in the process of forming a contract between a spirit beast and a person, the human's personal will isn't that important? If a spirit beast takes a liking to someone, can't it just contract with them directly?" Soong Xueling thought, feeling a bit uneasy.

Chu Yuan shrugged it off, saying, "You're overthinking it. Spirit beasts are different from us. They're rare and value their freedom. I've never heard of a spirit beast willingly forming a contract with a human. And even if that happened, the person would be thrilled. Not everyone gets noticed by a spirit beast."

"Really?" A mischievous glint appeared in Xueling's eyes as she asked, "Okay, I have two more questions: First, can a person only contract with one spirit beast? Second, can the contract between a person and a spirit beast be broken?"

"You sure ask some odd questions," Chu Yuan said, though he patiently explained, "While a person can indeed contract with multiple spirit beasts, spirit beasts are so rare on the Twilight Cloud Continent that most people might never get the chance to contract with even one, let alone several. As for your second question, the contract can be dissolved if both parties agree, but I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to do that."

"Well, that's not necessarily true..." Xueling muttered softly, her eyes shifting to the little creature floating in mid-air. "I've just communicated with this spirit beast, and it's agreed to form a bond. So, can you remove this spiritual force barrier?"

Chu Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Xueling. He knew he'd stumbled upon a treasure, but the sheer power of this creature was beyond extraordinary. How could Xueling have tamed it so quickly? This spirit beast had been confined here for three whole months, doing nothing but bouncing around the spiritual force room, and even Great Master Liang couldn't handle it.

Great Master Liang was the only master-level beast tamer in this facility.

"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate," Xueling said, then began to give the little creature commands. This time, instead of using mental communication, she spoke aloud, "Jump up and down."

The little creature, understanding human language and intimidated by Xueling's authority, complied by bouncing up and down. However, it jumped too high and slammed into the spiritual force barrier above and below, leaving it dazed.

Xueling's mouth twitched as she continued to command, "Spin around in place."

She really couldn't bring herself to make this adorable little creature perform any more difficult tricks. She was worried that instead of sealing the deal, it might end up hurting itself.

Chu Yuan stared blankly as the little creature followed Soong Xueling's commands, performing all sorts of cute and silly actions. He was almost beginning to question everything he knew.

He was starting to think that taming beasts might actually be a simple task, which was a terrifying thought!

"Can you lower the force field now?" Soong Xueling asked again.

In his beast-taming arena, another spirit beast that could fetch a high price had been added. Chu Yuan should have been thrilled, but instead, he felt oddly deflated. "Sure," he replied.

With that, he raised his arm and took down the pale yellow force field. But in the next instant, the fluffy little creature suddenly dashed toward him with lightning speed!
