Beauty and the Bodyguard

Because the purple lightning beast's body trembled-Lin Yi couldn't read its expression, but it was definitely one of hesitance and distress, unable to make a decision.

"Woof woof woof ..." General Weiwu barked as if it was telling the beast something.

The purple lightning Beast didn't say anything after that, falling into silence as it lay by Lin Yi's feet, deep in thought.

General Weiwu and Skybolt pig didn't say anything, they just waited for the purple lightning beast's answer.

Lin Yi was confused, but he could guess that the pig and general Weiwu had already thought of a way to suppress the beast, but it was hard for the beast to accept it, so it was hesitating.

Finally, the purple lightning Beast raised its proud head and let out a long roar. It then turned to look at Skybolt pig and general Weiwu and nodded slowly. However, after nodding, it seemed to have added something and let out a few roars in succession ...

General Weiwu and Skybolt pig looked at each other, and Skybolt pig squeaked a few times, as if explaining something to the purple lightning Beast. After a while, the purple lightning Beast nodded again, and Skybolt pig ran in front of Lin Yi, pointing at a soft sand field not far away with his paw.

Lin Yi knew that Skybolt pig was going to communicate with him through writing, so he went to the soft sand with Skybolt pig. Skybolt pig also started writing,"Since ancient times, there have been three ways for humans and spirit beasts to get along. The first way is to have a mutual understanding and to share joys and sorrows. It's a natural friendship, just like general Weiwu and I."

"The second method is to establish a contract and make the spirit beast a slave of human beings. Human beings can control the spirit beast to do anything, but after the contract is established, the spirit beast can't resist and can only do whatever it is ordered to do. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a puppet with thoughts."

"As for the third method, it is to establish an equal contract. This method is similar to the first method, which is to respect each other. Spirit beasts are good friends of humans and not simple slaves. As long as the spirit beast does not betray its master and also has its own consciousness, it will be able to survive."

"The GaN mountain sect's contract is like this and this is the best way to establish it. The purple lightning Beast said that it can accept becoming your contract spirit beast, but it has to be this type, because it'll be too miserable after becoming a slave. "

"Oh, this one is fine." Lin Yi nodded,"actually, you and general Weiwu are similar to this type of contract spirit beast. It's just that we've been through thick and thin together. The purple lightning beast's time is too short. This is the only way to prove its loyalty."

The purple lightning Beast didn't think that Lin Yi would agree so easily. It was a little surprised-it thought that Lin Yi would use this chance to force it to become one of those slave contract spirit beasts, but it wasn't willing!

Although he wanted to level up, he would lose himself after that. What was the point?

It had chosen the last option because it was prepared to leave if Lin Yi didn't agree. It didn't expect Lin Yi to be so easy to talk to. If it had known this would happen, it would've signed a contract with Lin Yi already!

This kind of contract had no effect on it. When Lin Yi was here, it would be by Lin Yi's side, but if Lin Yi died, it would regain its freedom and would be unaffected! It had lived for a few thousand years and met many people, but this was the first time it met someone like Lin Yi. Following Lin Yi wasn't a loss at all!

As long as Lin Yi kept leveling up, its strength would increase as well. Where else could it find such a good contract master?

Hearing Lin Yi's promise, the purple lightning Beast nodded happily,"Roar ..."

It was even a little impatient.

"How do I establish a contract?" Lin Yi asked.

"You don't have to do anything," the pig wrote again,"the purple lightning Beast will swear an oath to heaven and earth, and then you just need to drop a drop of blood on its forehead."

"Alright!" Lin Yi nodded. He didn't know what a heaven and earth oath was, and he didn't know if it had any binding power, but judging from Skybolt pig's reaction, this thing was probably very effective. So, he followed what Skybolt pig said and bit his finger.

At the same time, the purple lightning Beast was also mumbling something Lin Yi didn't understand. It seemed that this kind of contract was indeed established on the basis of equality, and could only be used when the spirit beast was willing. Otherwise, they couldn't force the spirit beast to make a heaven and earth oath, right?

As for the slave contract, Lin Yi didn't know how to use it, but it was probably the kind that forced him to do it. He'd ask Skybolt pig about it when he had the chance-it wasn't like Lin Yi could use such gentle methods to deal with every spirit beast he encountered.

After a while, the purple lightning Beast stopped roaring, but the Skybolt pig started squeaking, signaling Lin Yi to drip his blood.

And so, Lin Yi quickly dropped the blood on the beast's forehead. To Lin Yi's surprise, the blood on his finger seemed to turn into a beam of light and entered the beast's body. There was no trace of blood on its forehead.

This situation made Lin Yi click his tongue in wonder. It seemed that there were still many magical things in the world that he didn't know and understand.

"This is it?" Lin Yi didn't think there was anything special about the contract.

"Ji Ji." The pig nodded.

"Alright, little Feng, I'll help you raise your strength to Mystic late phase peak later. You stay in the villa and protect Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu with general Weiwu, understand? While I'm gone, I won't allow them to be harmed in any way!" "And the Han siblings next door, you have to protect them too," Lin Yi said.

"Roar Roar." The purple lightning Beast nodded in understanding.

Since Skybolt pig said that it was fine, Lin Yi didn't suspect anything. He sat down cross-legged and placed his hand on the purple lightning beast's body. He started the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery, and pure energy from the Jade space flowed through Lin Yi's body into the purple lightning beast's body!

"Ohoho!" The purple lightning Beast moaned in pleasure and started to absorb the energy Lin Yi was giving it!

This energy was truly pure and majestic! It was many times purer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the outside world. In just a short moment, it was equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation. (To be continued.)
