Luo Qingyu flew all the way here according to the map provided by 007. Suddenly, Ling Luochen swiftly drew his sword and lowered his voice to warn, “Master, there are people ahead.”
Luo Qingyu followed his gaze and saw Ye Qinghan leading a few Wenjian Sect disciples, locked in a fierce battle with a demon beast ahead.
Behind Yunque, a small, fluffy beast with yellow fur was stealthily following her. Its two pointed ears stood straight up, making it look incredibly adorable.
Just then, 007's voice hastily rang out in her mind, 【Host, that is the treasure-hunting beast of the secret realm!】
Luo Qingyu turned to look at Ling Luochen and softly instructed, “Can you bring it over without making a sound?”
Ling Luochen nodded slightly and said softly, “Rest assured, Master. I will bring it over right away and guarantee we won't be noticed.”
The moment he finished speaking, Ling Luochen channeled his spiritual energy, and the surrounding vines quietly and slowly crept toward the small beast behind Yunque.
Yunque was nervously watching the Wenjian Sect disciples battle the demon beast, completely oblivious to the movement behind her.
In an instant, the vines suddenly coiled, tightly binding the fluffy treasure-hunting beast and slowly pulling it back.
Ling Luochen reached out to take the small beast delivered by the vines, holding it in his hands as he walked over to Luo Qingyu. “Master, I have brought it back.”
Watching this unfold, Luo Qingyu could not help but be dumbfounded, secretly marveling in her heart: The Wood Spiritual Root is indeed powerful. In a dense forest, one can mobilize the plants and trees everywhere for their own use.
The treasure-hunting beast in her arms timidly curled into a ball, its dark, bead-like eyes uneasily scanning its surroundings.
Luo Qingyu reached out to gently stroke the little fellow's fluffy ears, speaking in a warm tone, “Don't be afraid. Form a contract with me, and I'll let you go.”
In any case, this treasure-hunting beast would cross paths with Ye Qiao sooner or later. By contracting it ahead of time, she would later be able to take her little junior sister and the others to snatch all the opportunities in the secret realm before the original female protagonist could get to them.
As if understanding Luo Qingyu's words, the treasure-hunting beast took a gentle, tiny bite of her fingertip.
A faint white light emerged from Luo Qingyu's forehead, and the contract pattern instantly formed.
007 popped out of the system space once again, 【Host, the contract is successful! It is now your spirit beast. As long as I am around, we can sense its location at any time.】
Luo Qingyu nodded slightly to acknowledge.
The treasure-hunting beast snuggled affectionately into Luo Qingyu's arms, its round eyes curiously taking in its surroundings.
Luo Qingyu took out a spiritual fruit from her storage ring and held it out to the beast. “Eat up, little fellow.”
The treasure-hunting beast leaned forward to sniff it, then immediately grabbed the spiritual fruit and began munching on it noisily.
Seeing it like this, Luo Qingyu grew even more fond of it.
This little thing was somewhat similar to Qiuqiu, with a coat of soft fur that felt incredibly nice to touch.
Once the little fellow had finished gnawing the spiritual fruit clean, Luo Qingyu placed it on the ground and said, “Go on and play. I'll come find you later.”
The treasure-hunting beast twitched its fluffy ears and darted happily into the depths of the forest.
Watching the treasure-hunting beast disappear into the forest, Luo Qingyu raised her hand to touch the jade pendant at her waist. A faint curve slowly formed on her lips as she chuckled softly, “The show is about to begin.”
With a smile lingering on her lips, Luo Qingyu turned her head toward the direction of the Wenjian Sect group and muttered to herself in a low voice.
“I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, Ice-Face's cultivation would grow so fast. Did he take steroids or something?”
Ling Luochen spoke softly from the side, “You are not lacking either, Master. Not only are you wealthy and beautiful, but you are also a rare, genius artifact cultivator.”
“He was merely born a few years earlier than you. If it were you, you would have probably stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm long ago.”
Hearing Ling Luochen's words, Luo Qingyu burst into laughter. “Well said. I love hearing that.”
...
Seeing the Wenjian Sect group finish off the demon beast and prepare to set off, Luo Qingyu quickly stood up and patted her robes. “Let's go, Luochen. Follow them.”
Using the cover of the forest, the two of them quietly followed the Wenjian Sect group from a moderate distance.
