Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 18
Advertisement
After practicing with Purple Jade for another afternoon, Su Bai found that its spiritual power accumulation was getting closer and closer to mid-level servant.
When they returned home that night, his parents had yet to come back and were probably still busy handling the reservoir affair. This was no simple matter and was rather troublesome, in fact.
The next day, Su Bai was finally going to school, and the cub was going to meet people. He had never sent a picture of Purple Jade to the group chat, and even his good friend Yang Zhou did not know how his pet looked.
"Okay, okay, go to sleep. You've been playing for a long time."
He took his phone from the cub, which had become more and more proficient in using the gadget that it could now play something else on it.
"Howl~"
His pet groaned unhappily and climbed on the bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Bai rode his small electric scooter to Fourth High School located in the center of the town. As his school was nearby, he had always lived off campus.
"Howl! (⊙v⊙)"
The cub was crouched on his shoulder, looking around like a curious baby.
At the school gates, he spotted Yang Zhou walking closer with his small heterochromatic conch. The jewel-like spirit was very unique and attractive.
Su Bai stopped his scooter and called the other's attention. "Are you still showing off here? We have to attend class soon."
"Wow, you actually came! I thought that you had gone missing."
Seeing Su Bai appear in school after being absent for days since his pet hatched, Yang Zhou immediately did a double-take. He originally thought that his friend was feeling depressed and did not want to come to school.
"Hey, where did that pet on your shoulder come from? Your Queen of Thorns?" He squinted at the cute spirit on the other's shoulder in shock.

"This is Purple Jade, my pet. It is a complete mutant and was born like this." Su Bai spread his hands.
"Howl~"
The cub clung onto him tighter as if to announce that he was its Pet Tamer.
"Wow, are you being serious? You're that lucky? A complete mutant?
"Are your spirit's purple eyes caused by mutation, too? Don't they look too fake? How did you actually obtain a mutant pet with emperor-level characteristics? Come on; let me touch it. It's furry and cute."
Yang Zhou carefully studied Purple Jade, still feeling completely shocked over his dear classmate's luck, and reached out to touch it.
"Howl. (;¬_¬)"
The cub gave him a side-eye and then avoided his hand in distaste.
"Hmph, it's kind of arrogant. Hehe, my little conch is much better as it lets everyone touch it."
Yang Zhou laughed awkwardly and turned to touch his small conch, but the latter uncharacteristically crawled away and ignored him.
He became speechless.
"Of course, my buddy is a girl. Don't even think about it, you pighead," said Su Bai unceremoniously.
"Hehe, it seems that you're desperate to witness the strength of me and my little conch."
He showed off his thick arms.
When the two finally arrived in the classroom, their new pets automatically became the center of everyone's attention.
"Yang Zhou, come on; let me touch your little conch."
"Does this conch spray water? Tell it to spray water."
"Hey, hey, I've been standing in line to touch it since yesterday!"
"Yes yes, ladies first. Men, lean back and retreat a bit." Yang Zhou smiled shamelessly, not caring that his integrity had fallen to the floor.
Although everyone had seen his spirit several times already, they were still very interested in it.
However, when they saw Purple Jade on Su Bai's shoulder, the situation changed.
"Hey, wasn't your pet the beginner evolution type of Queen of Thorns, the Thorns? Where did this little cutie come from?"

The class monitor Chen Rouxue, who had apparently discovered the spirit on his shoulder for the first time, was immediately taken by its adorable look. "Can I hug it? It's so cute!"
Wang Murong: "Wow, your pet is too cute! Look at its rare round purple eyes, big ears, and small horns; I really want to hug it."
Liu Yueyue: "I can't resist it. Hey, let me hug it, let me hug it…"
Chen Tingting: "Let me hug it, too. I'll give you half of my Green Silkworm's food."
The Green Silkworm became speechless.
"My gosh, purple eyes. That's a sign of an emperor pet; is it a mutated spirit? It's too rare."
...
Immediately, half of the girls in the class stood up from their seats as they clamored to hug and touch Purple Jade, while the other half stared at it adoringly.
Yang Zhou and his spirit, which had just been the center of attention thus far, suddenly felt completely deserted. Even a group of boys rushed to look at the cub, instead.
The beauty of Purple Jade was only one factor. In fact, there were other pets more good-looking than it; the main attraction was its purple eyes.
Purple eyes were too rare and were almost only visible on emperor pets.
Yang Zhou was speechless.
He felt that he had fallen into his friend's trap. Perhaps Su Bai deliberately did not post pictures of his cub to attract the attention of the whole class and catch them by surprise?
This scheming guy… He would remember it. Gritting his teeth, he felt gloomy that the opportunity to communicate with girls was gone just like that.
"Howl. つ_⊂"
Being stared at by so many people, who wanted to hug and touch it, Purple Jade lowered its head and fearfully buried its face in its owner's clothes.
Facing so many enthusiastic students, Su Bai calmly shook his head. "No, my buddy doesn't agree to it."
"I don't believe it, unless you let me give it a try."
"Yes, I don't believe it, either."
Since the owner of this cute pet with purple eyes was a very familiar classmate, the girls started making reservations and did not plan to stop until they held it.
They might not encounter big purple eyes, which were the symbol of an emperor pet, in their lifetime again.
Ding dong… Ding dong… "Classmates, it's time for class…"
At this moment, the class bell untimely rang. The Chinese teacher was already standing at the door, so everyone had to return to their seats.
Su Bai returned to his seat, too, but even so, many girls were still staring at his cub.
Meanwhile, Yang Zhou was staring at him with hatred. This bad fellow deserves a good beating!
"Everyone, raise your voice and read all the texts you've memorized."
The Chinese teacher came in and conducted a lecture to everyone.
After a while, there was loud reading in the class.
"Student Su Bai, is your pet mutated?" asked the Chinese teacher as he walked over.
The Chinese teacher, Wang Qiang, who was in his thirties or forties, was very knowledgeable, humorous, and very attractive.
"Yes, Purple Jade was born after fifteen days of incubation. It's a complete mutant." Su Bai nodded.
"The potential of a complete mutant is generally very good. Cultivate it well." The Chinese teacher glanced at the cub and turned to walk away.
Su Bai picked up his textbook and recited the content, letting Purple Jade listen so that it could learn as well.
The intelligence of most pets was not low, so it was easy to understand the course.
