Otherworldly-Cultivator

However, the firebird did not seem to believe Chen Li, so he opened the system shop and bought two items.

[You have purchased the Beast Growth Pill x2: 30 Lower Grade Beast Cores have been deducted.]

[You have purchased the Beast Body Temper Pill x2: 40 Lower Grade Beast Cores have been deducted.]

"Open your mouth." Chen Li said that as he showed the two of them to the firebird.

*shriek*

The firebird let out a loud screech after seeing the two pills, and it thought that Chen Li wanted to trick it, so it shot a huge fireball at them.

Once again, Chen Li sent the fireball away through the void, and she threw both pills to Long Xue, who swallowed them to prove to the firebird that they were not poison. "See? I'm not deceiving you; those pills are not poison, and they are very beneficial for beasts."

The firebird watched Long Xue for some time before looking at Chen Li while opening its beak once she took out the other two pills, so he threw them into its mouth. After it felt the benefits of the two pills, it looked at the herbs around the place with disappointment, as their effects were not as good as his pills.

"Are you willing to come with me and become my wife's contract beast?"

The firebird turned to Chen Li again, but it still seemed hesitant to accept his offer. After all, it can live freely in the mist forest, but its life will be tied to humans if it agrees to become a contract beast.

Seeing that, Sun Xing'er moved and returned to her original form, causing the firebird to shiver in fear, especially since her aura was much stronger than Chen Li's.

On the other hand, Huo Qingya looked fascinated by Sun Xing'er's true form, especially by her smooth silver fur and nine tails. 'What a beautiful beast! I've only heard of a nine-tailed fox from stories, and I've always dreamed of having one as my contract beast, but there's no way I can have her.'

Sun Xing'er restricted the firebird's movements and spoke angrily to it. "Hey! Stupid bird! Do you think you are better than me? Even though you are quite strong now, you are just a weakling in my eyes, and I can kill you without blinking. Unfortunately, I can't do that because my brother wants you to become my sister's beast contract, so you'd better not waste our time and make a decision, or I'm going to beat you up."

Chen Li sighed softly at Sun Xing'er's behavior, and he floated in front of the firebird as he used his humanoid dragon form. "As you can see, I myself am a dragon, but I can't use my complete form yet because of my low cultivation, so you don't need to doubt that I can help you become stronger. Besides, you can live freely in my private place, and I will also take you to higher realms in the future."

In the end, the firebird gave in and nodded to Chen Li, so he contacted Yu Xuan and asked her to enter Tianyi Realm, and he also brought it in along with Long Xue.

However, Huo Qingya was shocked to see the three of them disappear, and she couldn't detect their aura either. "Huh? Where did they go? How could they disappear just like that?"

"I won't tell you anything about that, especially since you're still an outsider now, and you'll know about it after you become my brother's wife." Sun Xing'er said that as she returned to her human form, causing Huo Qingya to blush with embarrassment. "You've seen his abilities for yourself, so you should already be aware that there's no other man in this realm who can compare to him, right?"

Huo Qingya did not deny Sun Xing'er's words, especially after she witnessed for herself a little of Chen Li's abilities, coupled with Long Lianxin's story about him. Besides, there are too many strong women by his side, so there's no way there are other men who can compare to him, but she also doesn't want to accept him just like that.

"Since this is settled, I will return to the Bright Moon Sect to watch over my other sisters."

After Sun Xing'er disappeared, Huo Qingya turned to Yan Qiu. "Who exactly is that woman? Why is she so loyal to Chen Li? After all, she is much stronger than my old man, but she is completely submissive towards him."

"As you have heard before, her name is Sun Xing'er, and she is a star fox beast." Huo Qingya looked surprised after learning the identity of her beast, and Yan Qiu then told her again. "In fact, she is Chen Li's half sister who came from another realm called the Three Realm, and the people in that realm heralded her as the star goddess. However, his relationship with their father is bad, especially since Sun Taiyang abandoned him and his family on earth without giving them any explanation."

"What do you mean by his father abandoning him and his family?" Yan Qiu sighed softly before telling Huo Qingya some of the things she knew about Chen Li's relationship with his father, and she also told her about Sun Taiyang's status in the Three Realm. "I see; it's no wonder that he hated his father so much. After all, he was such a powerful cultivator, and he should have been able to bring them into his realm and teach them to become cultivators, but he actually left them in the mortal realm without qi."

"That's true." Yan Qiu nodded in agreement with that. "Anyway, it would be better if you didn't discuss this matter with Chen Li, especially since he never likes hearing things about his father."

"I know." Even so, Huo Qingya became more and more curious about Chen Li, and she also became more curious about the other realms, especially the Three Realm.

Meanwhile, Yu Xuan hid behind Chen Li, as she was frightened by the sight of the firebird, but he immediately spoke to calm her down. "All right, you don't need to be afraid of it, and I brought it here to be your contract beast."

"Huh?" Yu Xuan was surprised to hear that. "Do you really want me to make a contract with that bird? It's too big and strong, so I'm afraid it won't obey me, and I'm afraid it will eat me later."

"Haha." Chen Li laughed at that, and he pulled Yu Xuan in front of him. "Your imagination is too weird, you know? Moreover, this bird came with me of its own accord, and it will be bound to you after it becomes your beast contract, so it will not be possible to do such a thing to you, and it can protect you from the dangers that threaten you in the future."

"Is it true?" Yu Xuan still looked timid, even though he had heard that.

"Yes." Chen Li then turned to the firebird. "Can you shrink your body? Otherwise, my wife will continue to be afraid of you."

*shriek*

The firebird let out a low screech while nodding at Chen Li, and its body was immediately covered in fire before shrinking rapidly, making it look like a normal bird.

After that, it was perched in Chen Li's hand, and he spoke to Yu Xuan again. "Press your forehead with it's head, so it can start to form a contract with you."

"All right." Yu Xuan immediately followed Chen Li's orders, and the firebird initiated a contract between them, which made her forehead slightly hot, but the process didn't last too long. Soon, a small red bird tattoo appeared on her forehead, indicating the contract between them had been formed, and she could understand it now. "What's your name?"

The firebird shook its head toward Yu Xuan, as it did not know its own origins, so it did not have a name.

"You can choose a good name for this bird, Xuan'er."

"En." Yu Xuan nodded and thought of a few names for her contract beast. "Since you are a male firebird and your form is more similar to that of an eagle, I will give you the name Ying Huo."

Hearing that, the firebird nodded to Yu Xuan, and it flew around her while making happy voices, making him very satisfied.

Chen Li then said to Yu Xuan. "For now, you can stay here with Ying Huo to improve your bond with him, and you can also train with him in the southern forest, so the fighting skills of the two of you can be in sync."

"I know." Yu Xuan then asked him. "Are you going back to the eastern region now?"

"There are several things I have to finish there, and I will also be waiting for the arrival of the two people who are stalking me, so I have to go back there now."

"Stalkers?" Chen Li nodded and explained everything to Yu Xuan. "I see, you have to be careful of Gu Jiao, lest you get affected by her Gu insect."

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

After Chen Li disappeared from her sight, Yu Xuan took Ying Huo to look around the area in Tianyi Realm, as she asked him many things to strengthen their bond.
