Chapter 185 - Beast Bloodlines
Looking at the judging eyes of the Cloud Leopard, Bai Rouyun could not help but scratch her nose embarra.s.sedly. She had indeed not warned the Golden Emperor Vine in the same way before, as she had no interest in letting it run free.
This vine was a treasure amongst treasures, and she had rushed to tempt it into her Primal Chaos Dimension, after which it would naturally create a normal contract with her.
Even she could not help but feel that she was rather despicable, but she just cleared her throat as she pretended that she had not noticed the judgmental look in its eyes.
"Well, if you want to follow Xiao Hua and me, then you have to sign a contract with me."
The Cloud Leopard was already aware of this. It knew that if it wished to follow Bai Rouyun, it would have to give up its freedom, but it did not mind it much.
While it did not know much about the outside world, it was painfully aware that it was confined to the small mountain forest. If it wished to leave this mountain forest, it would have to find a good owner, but doing so was not easy.
While it did not have a bad bloodline, the Cloud Leopard was not amongst the most sought after beasts. They were swift, but not as swift as other beasts, and while they had good offensive power, it was also easily suppressed by others, since its defense was somewhat lacking.
The most significant benefit of the Cloud Leopard was its agility, but even so, most people would catch it, not for its abilities, but due to the bloodline that ran through its veins.
While the Cloud Leopard itself was not as outstanding as many other beasts, it had a diluted bloodline from the Heavenly Cloud Leopard, which was known to be amongst the fiercest and most revered beasts races in the entire world.
While the Heavenly Cloud Leopard was merely a legend within this continent, everyone could imagine its magnificence when they used the essence blood of a Cloud Leopard to stimulate their own beasts.
The essence blood of a beast could be used to aggravate other beasts' bloodlines, and the essence blood of a Cloud Leopard was known to be the best.
This was also Bai Rouyun's original task, to bring back the Cloud Leopard, or the essence blood belonging to it. However, what she had gained was already much more than the rewards of the task, so she had planned on letting the Cloud Leopard go and continue living freely.
She had not expected that the beast wanted to follow her, but thinking about the life that it was living now, joining her team was indeed the most beneficial path for it.
Since it was known that it lived within this mountain forest, others would, without a doubt, come to harvest the essence blood, and it would no longer have peace and quiet.
If it followed her, it would be free from the shackles that were holding it down now. It would get to experience the world, and would no longer have to fear for what the future might bring.
Thinking of herself and her despair when she was being hunted down by others, Bai Rouyun's heart softened, and her eyes turned tender as she looked at the beast in front of her.
She could imagine the fear it would feel if it would end up being chased all over the mountain forest.
"I promise that if you do come with me, then I will not let anyone harm you." Her voice was soft and gentle, and the Cloud Leopard could sense her change in att.i.tude.
It raised its head and looked at her with clear eyes. What surprised it was the sincerity and gentleness that was evident within her expression.
The Cloud Leopard nodded its head. It had long since known that its race was easily hunted down. Everyone within its family had long since ceased to exist, and it was all alone now.
But maybe it would not stay alone for long?
The contract between the Cloud Leopard and Bai Rouyun only took a moment to be completed, and afterward, Bai Rouyun placed the beast within the Primal Chaos Dimension.
She could have placed it within the contractual s.p.a.ce, but she decided that it was much better to have it in the Primal Chaos Dimension, as it had such rich heaven and earth essence.
Staying there would not only help it advance rapidly, but it would also ensure that it did not feel lonely, as it would be amongst Xiao Bao, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Hua.
The Cloud Leopard had expected to enter the dark contractual s.p.a.ce, but what greeted it was lush fields as far as the eye could reach, where herbs of many kinds had been planted.
It noticed a big lake, which was sparkling in the sunlight, and each breath it took contained an incredible density of heaven and earth essence; it was at least ten times the amount of what it had experienced in the mountain forest.
The Cloud Leopard was shocked and did not know how to react as it looked around this small realm.
As it was getting more and more confused, two children suddenly appeared in front of it. One was a little boy, and the other a little girl.
The boy seemed taciturn. His face was stoic, and his expression clearly displeased. He was wearing a white robe, with blue skies embroidered around the edges. He appeared extremely adult-like, but due to his size, it was somewhat comical.
The girl was much more adorable. A gentle smile adorned her face as she was wearing a golden robe with silver dragons adorning the fabric. Her hair was tied into two small buns on top of her head, and in her hands was Xiao Hua, the Golden Emperor Vine which had been tricked into joining the group.
