Chapter 11: Contracted Divine Beast

  In the heart of the Azure Forest, a young girl was roasting a Jumping Hare. The Jumping Hare was a small magical creature, three times larger than an ordinary rabbit, but with much stronger jumping ability, able to leap three meters in one bound, hence its name. At this moment, the almost-cooked hare was sizzling and dripping oil, filling the air with a savory aroma that wafted far away. The girl was clearly skilled and fearless, for it was well-known that no one dared to light a fire and roast food in this forest, as the fragrance could attract all sorts of magical creatures, which would be dangerous.

  The rabbit is already cooked to a golden brown, just waiting for someone to enjoy it! But the girl got up and walked away, who knows where she went? Is the rabbit going to be abandoned, made into a wedding dress for others?

  Of course not! The girl is a war lightweight, and she does this with a purpose. Recently, every time she finishes cooking, things disappear in the blink of an eye. At first, she didn't mind, thinking it was just some greedy little guy who might have done it. But as the situation escalated, the thief became more and more brazen, stealing everything in sight! So she decided to teach this little thief a lesson. How dare they snatch food from her mouth? Ah, how dare they snatch food from War Lightweight's hands? Do they want to die?!

  Today, she deliberately added good "ingredients" and waited for the greedy little thief to take the bait. Hiding in a large tree not far away, Zhan Light Crazy hid his breath, hiding among the leaves, staring straight at the roasted rabbit on the fire.

  Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and the rabbit on the fire disappeared without a trace. Zhan Qing was very surprised, this speed is too fast, even the lightning mongoose can't keep up! However, hehehe, there will be a good show to watch soon.

  After a moment, she jumped down from the tree and walked towards the direction where the black shadow flashed with a cheerful hum. Before long, she saw a small animal lying in the grass, black, shiny fur, looking like a sable, also like a cat, with small round ears, big eyes, about half a meter long, and a fluffy tail.

  What's this? Zhan Light Crazy propped up his chin, staring at the small beast that had fallen to the ground. The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, when suddenly, the small beast moved. At first, it was still a bit dizzy, but in an instant, it sat up straight, looking like a Pikachu, licking the oil on its paws.

  Zhan Qingkuang was already shocked, she had added a large amount of anesthetic to the rabbit, enough to knock out ten mammoths without a problem. But in just this short moment, the little beast had recovered? It wasn't simple, and it even looked comfortable, its small eyes glancing at her with a hint of lingering meaning.

  She quickly regained her composure, and her spiritual power probed forward, but was bounced back. Warlight's face turned slightly pale as she racked her brains, realizing that fighting wasn't an option against this opponent, so she had to think of another way to contract it. It seemed the little beast in front of her was a foodie, and soon she had an idea.

  "Little one, doesn't the roasted rabbit taste good?" She really couldn't believe that the big grey wolf's tempting voice was coming from her own mouth.

  The little guy licked his lips and nodded his small head again.

  "All these days, you've been following me around and eating a lot of delicious food, haven't you!"

  The little guy nodded again, looking very relished.

  "Then would you like to acknowledge me as your master? I'll make delicious food for you from now on." Zhan Qingkong said with a hint of a smile.

  The little guy hesitated, this is a matter of beastly dignity!

  "Oh my, there's a dish called braised pork belly. Take the tenderest meat from that plump pig, chop some scallions, ginger and garlic, wait for the oil to cool down, then add sugar to caramelize it into a reddish color, stir-fry the sauce with the meat, pour in the seasonings, simmer over low heat, finally serve. Mmm... it's salty, savory, smooth, tender, three parts lean and seven parts fat, leaving a lingering aftertaste! " Boasting exaggeratedly, Zhan Qingyan couldn't help but sneak a glance at it."

  The little guy sucked back half a foot of drool with a slurp and stared at her with wide eyes.

  "And then there's the pizza, with soft and fluffy dough topped with various fruits, baked to perfection, cut into a small piece, hot and sticky, some with meat floss, others with fresh seafood, whatever you want to add, it's all available, guaranteed to make you want to come back for more!"

  The little guy wiped his mouth with his paw again and again.

  "Oh my, I've made the best seafood dish, but I don't know if you like fish or not." Seeing the little guy nodding busily, she couldn't help but laugh. "And that big prawn in oil, it's so big! After processing and adding seasonings, simmering over low heat, hmm... each prawn is full of juice, fragrant and tender, sweet and delicious beyond words."

  The little guy couldn't care less about wiping it away, saliva had already left a puddle on the ground, and the sound of slurping was endless. The hair on his belly in front was wet, and his bright, spirited eyes were staring off into space, lost in thought.

  "Alas! What a pity! I can make so many delicious dishes, but have no 'beast' to share them with. It's really one of the greatest regrets in life!"

  A loud sigh from Zhan Qing finally attracted the little beast's attention, and it was now anxiously grabbing her pant leg, squeaking away.

  "Ah~ don't comfort me anymore, just let this regret stay with me!" After saying that, Zhan Qing walked away dejectedly.

  The little guy was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, with tears almost flowing out. He held up his small paws, pointing at himself, and squeaked loudly.

  "It's okay, you really don't need to comfort me. Later when I find my contract beast, I'll make food for it, like crab roe buns, pan-fried beef, roasted duck, lion's head... Now I'm leaving, take care of yourself!" War Light Crazy smiled secretly as he turned his back on the little beast, not believing that it wouldn't take the bait.

  The little guy was already greedy enough, now hearing that it's going to be given to other beasts to eat, how can that be? It's so angry that it's almost spitting fire.

  At that moment, the law of heaven and earth was formed. Zhan Qingcang was caught off guard. He thought he could negotiate with her, but unexpectedly, the little girl was a hot-headed person who didn't say two words before making a contract with him.

  Using all her spiritual power to collide with the little guy's spiritual power, as soon as they made contact, she almost got counterattacked. The little guy's spiritual power was too terrifying! What level was it at? The spiritual power in front of her was like a huge wall, blocking her spiritual power from advancing. It was no different from an ant trying to shake a giant tree.

  Fortunately, the little guy didn't resist, allowing itself to be attacked by its spiritual power time and again. Gradually, a crack appeared in the great wall, and Warlight continued to attack that point relentlessly. With a loud crash, the entire wall collapsed. Her and the small beast's spiritual powers merged together, slowly fusing into one entity. Under her feet, another upgraded magic array took shape. The surge of spiritual energy increased explosively, rapidly flowing through her meridians. Fortunately, her meridians had expanded beforehand, so it didn't hurt that much.

  Slowly, the Heavenly Dao and the Advancement Array disappeared, and her spiritual power increased a bit, forming a demonic domain in her mind. And she also became a five-star great swordmaster from a three-star great swordmaster due to the contract with the little guy, advancing by two ranks at once. It's really hard to imagine what kind of demon beast the little guy is!

  "Little guy, now I'm your master. Tell me, what kind of demon beast are you?" The master-servant contract was formed, and the two communicated with each other in their hearts.

  All I could hear was a gentle voice in my mind, "Master, I'm the Tian Di Beast, a very powerful and formidable divine beast!"

  Good fellow, this contract of hers is a divine beast! What a big hand, she's calling out for herself!

  "You're a divine beast, but aren't divine beasts supposed to be able to talk? Why can't you?"

  "When I grow up, I'll be able to talk and even transform into a super beast! So, master, the roasted duck, beef, and lion's head you mentioned can't be given to other beasts, only me, okay?" Her innocent words made her laugh.

  "Fine, I'll give you some food, but what's your name?"

  "What's a name? Is it edible? Does it taste good?" The little guy asked eagerly.

  No name, just give one, but are all divine beasts so easy to deceive? Zhan Qingkong was speechless.

  "A name can't be eaten, the master will give you one and that's it. From now on, you'll be called Taotie. When the master calls Taotie, he's calling you, so you must listen obediently, got it?"

  The little fellow nodded happily, her master was so good, so gentle, and even gave it a name. In the future, she would give it many more delicious things to eat, it was truly the happiest creature in the world. The divine beast named Taotie thought about its beautiful future, but when it was enslaved later on, tears flowed! Regretting not being careful earlier, one misstep led to eternal regret! How could they bully a young creature like this? How could they just compromise for food?!

  Just wanted to pick up the little guy, the little guy "whooshed" away in an instant, Zhan Light Crazy looked at the disappearing figure of the glutton, somewhat puzzled, wouldn't it be a change of heart?

  Not long after, the little pig dragged back a big one. If she hadn't seen the black truffle on its neck, she would have thought it was sleepwalking! However, the little guy's destructive power is quite large, and its strength is not small either. It can drag back a big pig that is five times bigger than itself, and one of them is even comparable to the cow she saw before.

  Only saw a little piglet running back happily, shouting "braised pork, braised pork..."

  Zhan light crazy cry laugh can't help it, what a foodie this is!

  "Little glutton, we can't make braised pork belly now."

  "Ah~ why, why?" Xiao Piao was like a frantic child, her eyes brimming with tears.

  "Because the owner currently doesn't have enough ingredients on hand, the braised pork wouldn't taste good if made now. However, I can make you a honey-glazed roast pork instead, how about that?"

  When he heard that he couldn't do it, Xiaobao hung his head in despair, and his ears drooped. Later, when he heard about the honey-roasted pork, he was overjoyed again.

  "Alright, roasted pig, roasted pig, gluttons aren't picky eaters, gluttons will eat anything, and they're easy to raise."

  She poked her little head, lightly acknowledging fate, set up a fire, peeled off the skin, and hung it on a thick branch. From time to time, she would flip it over, sprinkle some seasonings, brush another layer of honey, and continue roasting. Before long, a fragrance wafted out, and the little glutton couldn't stop drooling, her eyes fixed on the roasting pig without blinking.

  After waiting for the war to lightly cut off a small piece, indicating that it could be eaten, only a black shadow was seen, swooping up, and the roasted pig disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving no bones behind, only the sound of crunching bones and gulping sounds could be heard.

  Watching the rapid eating, the little glutton who was cleaning his paws, Zhan Lightcrazy wanted to ask, where did all the food go? Such a big pig was eaten into its belly, but she didn't see any changes either, still that half-meter-long little guy.

  "Glutton, you... are you full?" Warlight asked after swallowing the first mouthful of meat.

  Gluttony's eyes were fixed on the meat in her hand, and he said in a low voice: "Temporarily full, master, Gluttony is growing up, want to eat more."

  Nodding, the warrior showed understanding. He fed the meat in his hand to it and watched as it wagged its tail excitedly. Shaking his head helplessly, he took out a bun and ate it himself.
