Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 214
Advertisement
East Capital Heavenly Abyss University, students dormitory.
"Hey, Su Bai! Do you know that something big has happened recently?" Lu Shuang patted his shoulder and exclaimed.
"What is it? Is it about the destruction of the two Imperial Dragon families, or is it about the blood moon divine skill?"
Su Bai glanced at the other. He already learned about these two things on the way back to school.
"Yeah, isn't it a big deal? Even several masters of the Imperial Dragon Gymnasium were killed!"
Lu Shuang looked at him with a surprised expression. He was quite speechless about Su Bai's indifferent attitude. How could he be so calm?
"As for the blood moon divine skill, it's impossible for us to get our hands on it, especially when only one in the entire Alliance can have it. This incident is truly a big blow to the Alliance. You should know that the Liu family's patriarch is the Alliance Alien Exploration Division's head. This incident has left a lot of vacant seats in that division," Liu Yong said excitedly.
"It's a pity, though, that it has nothing to do with us." Feng Ming spread his hands.
"So, what's there to be excited about?" Su Bai glanced at Lu Shuang and Liu Yong. "Let's think about the next thing. The school's task this time isn't easy to complete. Our class's task is to guard a space crack."
Yes, the entire university had to go to the Heavenly Abyss space crack to guard it. As long as they did that, they could earn merit points. Each person should be able to earn 100,000 merit points, which could be exchanged for all kinds of treasures in the Alliance Hunting Hall.
Fortunately, teachers and strong men from various gymnasiums were also involved.
The Twelve Dragon Slayers organization was very arrogant, but the Alliance found it difficult to chase them down, for they could hide in the numerous space cracks appearing everywhere on Blue Planet. The Alliance could only deal with small bandits, but who knew if they could even eradicate the small fries? The world was too chaotic right now, especially since the dragon slayers had too many places to hide themselves in.
As such, it was only right for the Alliance to prioritize closing the top ten superspace cracks as soon as possible. Once these were dealt with, they could focus on solving the smaller space cracks and then finally deal with these criminals once and for all. This was the right way to go about the problems.
Also, because of the long period of peace, most of the ordinary Pet Tamers had lost their fighting spirits, and some had even died while living idle lives. In a way, this series of incidents also served as a wake-up call to the people and gave Blue Planet more chances of improving their fighting force.
Su Bai could almost understand the thoughts of the Spirit Alliance and the other countries this time.
After all, in the environment they were in, it was easier to get hold of internal news.
"At least, it's still helpful to us. If we perform well in the task this time, some big bosses might even fancy us." Lu Shuang insisted on his perspective.
Su Bai shrugged. It did not matter to him. He took out something and said, "You guys keep talking; I'm going out."
Feng Ming: "Why are you going out? Bring me a snack if you're buying something."
He shook his head. "No, I'm going to find my girlfriend."

Lu Shuang: "…"
Liu Yong: "…"
"F*cking ruthless."
The hearts of the three people were pricked hard, and they felt incredibly uncomfortable.
The most annoying thing was that they had found out about Su Bai's girlfriend; she was another big shot who got a perfect score in the college entrance examination. This kind of envy they felt was incomparable, and they even doubted their self-worth and began to think if they were rubbish.
These big shots could obtain full marks while dating. What else were they if not rubbish?
Su Bai left the dormitory and went straight back to the off-campus house he and his girlfriend were renting. Today was Friday; he had two days off on weekends. It was also an opportunity for the students to prepare. On Monday, he would go to Heavenly Abyss.
He returned home to see Chen Ruoxue and to prepare some things.
Soon after, he reached Hope Community and opened the door to the rented apartment to find his girlfriend cooking.
"Do you want me to help?" he walked over to her and asked.
"Bring out the other dishes and wait for me to eat. This is the last dish," Chen Ruoxue glanced at him and replied.
"Okay, that's easy." He chuckled and nodded before beginning to serve the dishes.
"Did you obtain the divine skill?" She batted her eyes at him.
"Yes, all thanks to my previous arrangement, or else it would be hopeless." He nodded.
"If you have time, let me take a look. Apart from my master's, I haven't seen any other divine skills yet," she said after taking a bite of rice.
"You can see it now. Mewling, it's your turn." Su Bai glanced at his pet fox, which was currently drinking milk.
"Weep weep…" It nodded and unleashed an illusion, forming the scene where Blue Sea Kraken was forced to evolve into a Mountain Sea Monster Kraken.
"Wow, it's amazing! No wonder it's a divine skill," Chen Ruoxue exclaimed in surprise. Compared to Wei Ya's divine skill, her boyfriend's blood moon divine skill had more obvious effects and was very suitable for him, too.
"Of course, yes. Unfortunately, this divine skill can only be used on my pets, or else I'd let yours experience the feeling of evolution, too." Su Bai spread his hands and explained.
"It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. The divine skill can be passed on, anyway, so you can just pass it to our children in the future." She batted her eyes at him once more as she smiled.
There were two ways of inheriting divine skills. One was through 'direct inheritance', which was to kill the owner of the divine skill and swallow their contract book; the other was via 'blood inheritance'. There was a certain chance that the descendants of someone who possessed a divine skill would have a weakened version of it.
"It depends on luck. In case of bad luck, our child may not gain anything." Su Bai shrugged. "Are your two dragon commanders already?"
"Yes, they were promoted. Joining the Imperial Dragon Club let me obtain many dragon treasures; it's not bad." Chen Rouxue nodded.
"I called Zhou Ling'an over to deal with some things; you can tell her what you need and let her bring them together," explained Su Bai.
"I don't need anything."
"Okay, then."
After eating, the two had afternoon tea.
At three or four o'clock, Zhou Ling'an came over.
"How is it? Are you used to staying here?" She sat down next to Chen Ruoxue and asked.

"This house is really good; we both like it very much." Smiling, Chen Ruoxue poured the other lady a cup of jasmine tea.
"In that case, I can sell this house to you for 100,000,000 yuan. How about it?"
Zhou Ling'an took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"One hundred million… Isn't that too little? We can't take advantage of you like this. How much is the original price? If not, then we would rather not buy this." Chen Ruoxue took Zhou Lingan's hand and shook her head.
"Yes, we'll purchase it at the original price. We can't take advantage of friends." Su Bai also agreed.
If things could be solved with money, they were extremely unwilling to owe favors.
Once the favor was owed, it was difficult to pay it back.
"Okay, okay. You two are really united. It's scary to have money to burn. I'll sell it to you guys for eight hundred million, then. Are you satisfied?" Zhou Ling'an said helplessly. She had failed to buy some favors from these two.
"Of course, we're very satisfied," Chen Ruoxue said with a smile. "Thank you so much. This house should have some significance to you. We're so grateful that you're selling it to us."
Renting and completely owning a house had completely different meanings for people.
"In a way, it has some significance, but it's nothing much now. I hope that the house can be a witness to a couple like you two," said Zhou Ling'an with a smile.
"Thank you." Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue expressed their gratitude sincerely.
"These are the items you asked for; I brought them back here." The lady took out a space box from her bag and handed it to Su Bai.
He opened the box and looked at the ten gray spirit grass encased in a crystal glass inside. The leaves were sharp, their surface was gray, and the back was black. These were a kind of undead spiritual plant called Death Soulweed.
After inspecting the grass, he nodded and asked, "How much for these?"
"The condition is very good; one is thirty million, so these grass blades ten amount to three hundred million," Zhou Ling'an said.
"Okay, we'll transfer the money together later. Thanks." Su Bai had no objections to this and found the price to be very reasonable.
He and this woman had traded multiple times before, so it was impossible for her to cheat him on this one.
It would only seem so if he was petty over money.
"You said that you have a batch of skill jades and summoner skill cards here," Zhou Ling'an asked. In fact, if it was just a deal for ten Death Soulweeds, she would not have come over personally. Her main purpose for coming was of course the skill jades and summoner skills this young man had mentioned.
"Everything's here. The skills I acquired in the Blood Moon world, especially the summoner skills, should be nonexistent on Blue Planet," Su Bai put a space box in front of Zhou Ling'an and said.
Except for some of the relatively good skills he kept, he took out the rest for the woman to see.
The reason why he dared to take these out was that they were not something unique or hard to obtain. These items could be obtained as long as they participated in the fight for the Blood Moon divine skill; it was just that he had obtained a particularly large amount of them.
"My gosh! There are so many! Did you rob someone or did you actually obtain the divine skill?"
Zhou Ling'an was stunned to see the abundant items inside upon opening the box.
It was far beyond her imagination.
"Oh, I forgot that you have the Ancestor Blood Dragon. Did you really acquire the divine skill? She asked again with a look of realization.
"Do you think it's possible?" Su Bai laughed. "Although I have a Blood Dragon, I'm only a low-level monarch; how could I defeat those Dragon Kings?
"I just understood that there's no hope of snatching the divine skill, so I decided to collect skill jades and cards, instead, with the idea of not making a loss." He spread his hands and explained.
The fact that he had the Ancestor Blood Dragon was seen by so many people in the Blood Moon world. In fact, he could no longer hide it, but he would not take the initiative to admit it and would only say that he had a Blood Dragon.
"You can really restrain your desires, then. Who wouldn't want to fight for it at that time? It's amazing that you resisted the temptation!" Zhou Ling'an thought for a while and found it impossible but still exclaimed in admiration.
"It's just that I'm poor. Tell me: How much are these worth?" He shrugged.
"I can't count them now; I'll take them back and count everything at home. I'll tell you when I'm done counting, okay?
"There are just a lot; I didn't expect there to be these many at all." She was a little helpless.
"No problem. You can write a proof afterward." Su Bai nodded.
Zhou Lingan's eyes widened. "Does the relationship between us still make you think that I'll cheat you, or is it that you've never regarded me as a friend?"
"I believe in you, but I don't believe in your family. If not for you, I wouldn't let you take these things away and count them. What if they're secretly replaced?" Su Bai expressionlessly spread out his hands and shrugged.
In fact, he did not believe that Zhou Ling'an had met him by chance on his way to East Capital and felt that this was deliberately arranged by her.
However, he would not say it out since he had no evidence. Would it not be embarrassing if she was genuine to him?
He would just keep an eye on this.
Zhou Ling'an: "…"
Taking a deep breath, she nodded and said, "You're right. I'll write a proof, then."
She listed the items and handed them to him. In fact, there was nothing wrong with this procedure.
Su Bai called and asked the bank to transfer 1.1 billion yuan to the woman.
"You can check it; it should arrive in your bank account soon. The real-estate certificate can only be handled by you; you can write down the names of me and Ruoxue." He shook his head.
"I received it. Don't worry; I'll handle this matter soon." Zhou Ling'an nodded.
She drank tea and chatted with Chen Ruoxue for a while. They even made an appointment to go shopping together another day.
In the end, she got up and turned to Su Bai. "Can you show me your Ancestor Blood Dragon?
"It shouldn't be a secret now, right? "
"It's just an ordinary Little Blood Dragon, not an Ancestor Blood Dragon." He shook his head.
"B*llsh*t," Zhou Ling'an spat dryly. "Please show me your ordinary Blood Dragon then."
"Okay."
Su Bai released his pet. In fact, people only knew that he had an Ancestor Blood Dragon, but they did not understand what it was like or what skills it possessed.
"Roar?" The dragon stared at Zhou Ling'an. This was the first time it had seen a human other than Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue at such a close distance.
"It's pretty cute; can I touch it?" Zhou Ling'an stretched out her hand.
With a slap, the blood dragon turned around and slipped away.
"…Okay. I'm leaving. Goodbye." She sighed and got up to leave.
After she left, Su Bai turned to Chen Ruoxue.
"Are you happy now? We have our own house."
"Of course, I am, but leave decorating the house to me. You don't have to worry about that." She picked up the teacup.
"Okay, then. Cheers."
Su Bai clinked cups with her. He understood her intention; she also wanted to do contribute something to their house.
Only then would the house have meaning.
If everything, from a house and a car down to the smallest things, was paid for by the man alone, was it still called a conjugal property?
After drinking tea, he got up and went to make potions. With the Death Soulweeds, the ingredients for making a catalytic potion for the evolution of the Little Tyrant were complete.
It took more than an hour for him to complete its production.
"Come on, Tyrant. Drink this potion and see if it works."
After making the potions, Su Bai handed a bottle to the dino, which was eating ore in the living room.
"Roar!" Thank you!
It hugged the bottle and emptied it in seconds. After a bit, the breath on its body deepened.
"Roar~" Ah Bai, the effect is very good. It's much better than the catalytic potions I've drunk before. I think that it may be the reason why I have evolved once, Little Tyrant said in surprise.
"I see. That's great." Su Bai nodded. In this case, the ten bottles of catalytic potions should be enough for his pet to evolve.
This Blood Moon divine skill was really magical. Its indirect effect was probably its most fundamental effect.
That evening, the two ordered a takeout. Su Bai then eagerly took a bath and went to bed.
When he saw Chen Ruoxue coming in wrapped in a bathrobe, he could not help but hug her.
Her fair and tender skin was pink because of the hot shower, and she had a shawl over her long wet black hair.
Although the bathrobe concealed her curvaceous figure, just seeing her exposed long and straight legs, he could imagine what an alluring figure was underneath.
"Don't move. Be obedient," Chen Ruoxue took his hand and said coquettishly. "Wait a while. Let me dry my hair first."
"Okay then." He took the towel and wiped her hair.
Once it was dry, he chuckled. "Is it all right now? Help me adjust the balance of my yin and yang."
"Okay." She nodded gently.
He turned off the lights and kissed her.
Tonight, the experience gave him endless aftertaste. He was reluctant for it to end and just wanted to experience it a billion times more.
Early the next morning, he woke up from his tender dream and saw his girlfriend next to him. He hugged her slender waist and went back to sleep. Anyway, he did not have to go to class today.
"Get up and cook." Chen Ruoxue pushed him away.
"Let's order a takeout; we can sleep some more." Su Bai blinked.
"Okay, then." She leaned her head on him.

Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent
