It was already too late for Elder Qu and the others to repent. They could not possibly expose Yun Chujiu in front of the Fire Spirit Beasts, right? At that time, all their efforts would be for naught, and they would still be the ones crying. This little girl was really too shrewd. If they were not careful, they would fall into her trap. It was simply impossible to guard against her!
However, would these Fire Spirit Beasts agree? Fire Spirit Beasts were exotic beasts. How could they be easily fooled by Little Jiu? Following them and acknowledging their master were two different things!
Everyone’s gaze was focused on the eight Fire Spirit Beasts. Those five little beasts were clearly a bunch of little brats. Hearing Yun Chujiu’s words, they nodded their heads in agreement without a care, but the three adult beasts were a little hesitant.
They were exotic beasts. If they acknowledged a master, would that not be a disgrace to their fellow exotic beasts?! Besides, after recognizing a master, they had to obey their master. They were used to being free and did not want to be restricted! If they were restricted, they might as well eat rocks in the fire cave!
Yun Chujiu saw that the three big Fire Spirit Beasts were a little hesitant, so she said with a smile, “I’m doing this for your sake. How about this? In order to show my sincerity, we can sign an equal contract. How about it? Besides, I’m a very easygoing person. I’ll try my best not to interfere with your lives!
“I have the heavenly Thunder Root Spirit. If you sign a equal contract with me, it’ll be a matter of pride if word gets out! You Fire Spirit Beasts have such a long lifespan. I’m just a short moment in your long life. When I’m dead, you’ll regain your freedom!”
When the three adult beasts heard that there was a contract, they found an excuse to be okay. It was an equal contract anyway, so it would not be too embarrassing if word got out! Besides, the little girl was right. Fire Spirit Beasts had a lifespan of more than ten thousand years. When she died, they would be free! Besides, it was enough that they stayed underground for thousands of years!
The three Fire Spirit Beasts exchanged glances with each other, then nodded and made a sound, indicating that they had agreed to acknowledge their master.
Elder Qu and the others were dumbfounded. With just a few words, these exotic beasts had forgotten their integrity? They had agreed to acknowledge a master just like that? Eight! There were eight Fire Spirit Beasts! The people of the Tianyuan continent racked their brains, but they had not even seen a single one. She used a few tattered buns and a few words to trick all eight of them?! Was that not too much of a blow to them?!
Yun Chujiu bit her index finger and dripped blood into the mouths of the eight Fire Spirit Beasts, then began to form seals.
What they did not know was that at that moment, a huge ancient and complicated pattern had formed in the air above the fire cave. Almost at the same time, several thick and heavy dark clouds began to gather from all directions.
The heavens was furious!
‘Yun Chujiu!
‘It’s one thing for you to repeatedly escape the thunder tribulation!
‘But you actually made a contract with an ancient beast! And you even contracted eight of them in one go! You’re too arrogant! I’ll definitely kill you today!’
Yun Chujiu did not know that a great disaster was about to befall her. After she contracted with the beasts, she happily put the eight Fire Spirit Beasts into her Spirit Beast Pouch. She even put a lot of delicious food in it. As the saying goes, ‘the exploiter is soft-spoken, but the hand that feeds is short’. She would feed them well and then use them to scam other people’s Spirit Stones.
Elder Xiao and the others looked at Yun Chujiu with envy and jealousy. Constantly comparing oneself to others was infuriating!
Yun Chujiu was in a good mood at that moment, and said generously, “Those who are here will have a share. If you need earth fire in the future, just holler. It’s free! Anyway, it’s ours. How convenient!”
