The mother beast slowly opened her eyes. Gratitude was evident in her eyes as she looked at Su Ruoxi and her baby, who were both sitting not far away from her.
“How do you feel now?” Su Ruoxi opened her eyes and asked.
“I’m much better now, thank you!” the white magical beast replied sincerely.
Su Ruoxi smiled. “You’re welcome, it was nothing much! What’s your name?”
Maybe it was because she was also a mother now, her temperament had become much better. If it was the Su Ruoxi in her past life, she wouldn’t have helped to save the lives of others. The Su Ruoxi back then had even frequently left others in the lurch. Sometimes, she would even hit a man when he was down…
“My name is Bai Ling, what about you? You’re different from the other humans I have seen. You’re special! So, can I ask you for a favor?” Bai Ling asked as she looked at the little beast in her arms longingly.
“My name is Su Ruoxi, and this is my daughter, Baby Su! I don’t mind doing you a favor as long as it’s not beyond my abilities!” Su Ruoxi replied after a moment of hesitation. She was a human, while the other party was a beast. She didn’t know what exactly the favor was, either. Hence, she didn’t dare to guarantee anything.
Bai Ling glanced at the little beast in her arms. Then, she lowered her head to lick the little rascal’s face before handing it over into Su Ruoxi’s arms.
Su Ruoxi looked at the baby in uncertainty. She didn’t really understand what the mother beast meant…
“I can tell that you’re a good person. I hope that you can help me look after my child! It’s still too young. I cannot let it stay by my side…” Bai Ling said with reluctance.
Hearing that, Su Ruoxi was stunned. She looked at Bai Ling for a while before demanding, “Bai Ling, give me a reason or I will not agree to your request!”
“I don’t belong to this mainland. When I was chased by humans, I accidentally fell through a crack in the realm and landed here. However, because I was carrying a child, the child’s father, Bai Luo, got captured by the humans in an attempt to protect us. I have to go back and save him, so I cannot bring the child along with me!” Bai Ling answered truthfully upon seeing the persistence in Su Ruoxi’s eyes.
“Don’t belong to this mainland? Then where do you belong?” Su Ruoxi inquired curiously.
“I belong to another mainland. There are many mainlands in this world, this place isn’t the only one…” Bai Ling explained patiently.
“But both of you had to escape because you were chased by humans! Will you be able to save Bai Luo if you return now?” Su Ruoxi asked after a moment of thought.
“No matter what, I will still go back to rescue him. I cannot let him be bound to a contract with humans. Once he is bound to a contract, he will never be able to return!” Bai Ling replied determinedly.
Su Ruoxi knew that many formidable magical beasts were against being bound to a contract with humans. Since Bai Ling could speak, she should already be of Holy Beast level…
Looking at the sleeping little beast in her arms, Su Ruoxi still felt that it might not be a good thing for it to be separated from its mother when it was still so young. Just as Su Ruoxi was hesitating whether or not to agree to Bai Ling’s request…
The little rascal that had been lying quietly in her arms suddenly started moving about. First, it licked Su Ruoxi’s finger with its tongue. Then, it opened its mouth and bit Su Ruoxi…
“Hiss…”
Su Ruoxi was stunned. Then, her body was wrapped in a ray of light that signified the signing of a contract.
Only after a long time did the ray of light that signified the signing of a contract slowly fade away…
This scene made Su Ruoxi and Bai Ling somewhat speechless. They didn’t understand why the little rascal, who was originally still asleep, would suddenly open its mouth to bite Su Ruoxi and form a contract with her…
“I don’t know what’s going on?” Su Ruoxi said as she looked at Bai Ling somewhat awkwardly.
She had signed a contract with a baby right in front of its mother. No matter what, that was not a very nice thing to do!
“Seems like it has an affinity with you. This way, I can rest assured. I will leave my child with you now. If I… I fail to rescue its father, or if anything unfortunate happens to us, then please don’t let it know of our existence! If we are still alive, we will come back to find you!” Bai Ling looked at Su Ruoxi and said.
“Alright, I agree to your request!” Su Ruoxi decided.
“Thank you, I will be leaving now!” Bai Ling declared as she gazed deeply at the little beast in Su Ruoxi’s arms once more.
“Bai Ling, take these with you. Maybe they could be of use to you. The black elixirs inside are all poisons that are effective for both humans and beasts. The white elixirs have healing properties, while the yellow ones are to be used to replenish Mystique Energy!” Su Ruoxi said as she took out a Storage Bangle and handed it over to Bai Ling.
The Storage Bangle was something she had refined herself. Stored inside the bangle were elixirs she had produced. Since Bai Ling’s baby was now her contracted beast, then it was also one of her people…
She had never been stingy toward her own people…
Bai Ling did not expect Su Ruoxi to actually give her so many elixirs. She secretly made a decision in her heart, and then thanked Su Ruoxi once again before her figure vanished on the spot…
“You can take all the medicinal herbs in this cave! They were all picked by me! Thank you, Su Ruoxi!” Bai Ling’s voice slowly faded away…
Su Ruoxi glanced at the medicinal herbs piled up at one side and at the little beast in her arms. For a while, she really did muse about the situation. She didn’t expect that her first contracted beast would actually be such a small little rascal, and she also didn’t expect that her first contract with a beast would be forced onto her by the little rascal…
“Baby, put the medicinal herbs away! We shall leave after it wakes up tomorrow morning!” Su Ruoxi glanced at her daughter and declared.
“En, alright Mother.” Her baby nodded happily.
Her baby put away all of the medicinal herbs, and the mother-and-daughter pair stayed in the cave for yet another day and night…
Finally, on the second night, the little rascal in Su Ruoxi’s arms moved a little before opening its pair of big, bright eyes. It looked at Su Ruoxi cutely for a while before it chirped, “Master!”
Its voice was more tender than her baby. Su Ruoxi did not expect the little rascal to be able to speak as soon as it was born. Unless… it was already a Holy Beast?
“Master, what’s a Holy Beast?” the little rascal asked Su Ruoxi, not understanding what she meant.
“Er, it’s nothing. Let me give you a name!” Su Ruoxi replied in a daze.
“Alright!”
“Then, let’s name you Little Black!” Su Ruoxi declared randomly after a moment of thought. She initially wanted to name it Little White, but then she remembered that somebody in her realm was already called Little White.
Hearing that, both the mouths of Su Ruoxi’s baby, who was beside her, and Little White, who was in the realm, twitched simultaneously.
“Mother, why are you naming it Little Black when it is so white?” her baby inquired with much curiosity.
“Because there’s already a Little White!” Su Ruoxi answered with much seriousness.
“But Master, I’m also not black, okay? Why did you name me Little Black?!” the little rascal countered unhappily.
“Alright then, let’s call you Little Ball instead!” Su Ruoxi said as she looked at the round little rascal. She really didn’t know how to give names. When her baby was born, her baby’s name was also derived from the surnames of her two masters.
When she had declared her baby’s name at that time, her two masters were deeply moved. In actual fact, she had only used her two masters’ surnames because she couldn’t think of a name for her baby. However, she was clever enough to know that it was better not to tell her masters the truth…
