The silver fox had been asleep when it first appeared, but when it felt everyone's gaze on it, it suddenly woke up.

When the silver fox woke up, it immediately looked around in a panic since it was in a space that it didn't recognize. It quickly found Lord Jin who was covered in blood and it jumped out of Lord Yin's arms to jump to Lord Jin's arms, licking his wounds.

​​

After seeing that it wasn't having any effect, it looked around like it was looking for who did this to take revenge. But with how it was a fluffy little fox, it didn't look menacing at all, rather it appeared quite cute.

When Lord Jin took a few steps, the little fox raised its paws to press on his chest like it was telling him to stop, but he still came in front of Lin Fan.

He raised the little silver fox in his arms until it was face to face with Lin Fan and he asked, "Princess, what do you think of this man?"

All during this, Lord Yin had his dagger raised, prepared to attack at any moment.

The silver fox was surprised at first, being put in close contact with this complete stranger, but then it turned to look at Lin Fan. It took a few sniffs of Lin Fan before giving a shudder and moving back. For some reason it could smell something dangerous that was coming from Lin Fan.

Lord Jin saw this and he slightly knit his brows. He had clearly never expected this reaction from the princess, but he could tell that it wasn't necessarily a bad reaction. Something that could make the princess scared definitely wasn't a normal thing, it would definitely be something powerful.

Lord Jin lost in his thoughts for a bit before he said, "Young master Lin, our princess is a little shy. Perhaps you can put your hand out to let her get used to you?"

Lin Fan was surprised by this suggestion, but he still raised his hand and placed it in front of the silver fox. At the same time, he used the suction force to see if he could draw anything out of her.

The moment he did, the silver fox raised her head and moved her nose closer to Lin Fan's palm. Taking a few sniffs, it was like she had found something interesting as she placed her nose to Lin Fan's palm.

The suction force did enter the silver fox, but there wasn't much impurity that Lin Fan could absorb from her. It was like her bloodline had already been purified.

But the moment Lin Fan did make contact with the silver fox, there was a prompt that came from the system.

"A suitable pet has been detected, do you wish to form a contract with this pet?"

Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. Normally his system would never offer him the chance to make a contract with a pet unless he bought the item first, but now it was offering him this chance?

When the silver fox made contact with Lin Fan's hand, she tilted her head like she had heard something. After listening for a while, the silver fox suddenly nodded.

When Lin Fan recovered from his surprise, he asked the system, "System, what do you mean by that? Why can I suddenly make a contract with this silver fox?"

The system just said, "Host, you do not have the authority to ask this question. Just know that the pet has already agreed to the contract and is waiting for your approval."

Lin Fan was once again surprised when he heard this.

Lin Fan turned back to look at the silver fox and found that she was looking up at him with big eyes that looked like they were filled with pleading.

Lin Fan really didn't know what to say about this, he just knew that this silver fox had to be special for the system to do this.

In the end, Lin Fan said, "Alright, I accept the contract."

Then with a flash of white light, there was a seal that appeared on the forehead of the silver fox while another seal that was the same appeared on the back of Lin Fan's hand.

Once the seal was finished, the silver fox jumped out of Lord Jin's arms towards Lin Fan's arms. Lin Fan didn't react right away, but he did react in time to catch the silver fox.

The silver fox nuzzled into Lin Fan's embrace and then dug herself in to make herself comfortable.

Ignoring the silver fox in his arms, Lin Fan opened up the system's interface to look at the silver fox's status.

Inari Okami (Young)

Name: ???

Grade: Legendary (Triple Mutation)

Cultivation: Gold 1

Bloodline: O-Inari

Skills: Sealed (Lacking Authority)

Combat Strength: 1

System's Comments: Strong recommendation to focus training, please don't waste heavenly treasures

Lin Fan was shocked when he finished reading this. It seemed like his instinct was correct, this silver fox was anything but normal.

This was a triple mutation beast, what a concept that was.

Rocky and Brainy were both only single mutation beasts and they already had such incredible skills, what skills would this silver fox have?

The only problem was that all of the silver fox's skills were sealed and for some strange reason, its combat strength was currently at one. Moreover, what did the lacking authority that followed the word sealed mean?

"System what does this mean?"

"Host, you are currently lacking the authority to access this information. Please upgrade the shop to increase your authority."

Lin Fan felt the urge to upgrade the shop once he heard this, it had been a while since he leveled up the shop and he definitely had enough points to do it. However, when he thought of the strange quests that had appeared after he had upgraded the shop last time and how differently the system acted now, he couldn't help hesitating.

Maybe it was better to wait until he finished his current mission before upgrading the shop?

Lin Fan then threw all of this in the back of his head since there was no point worrying about it now, there was something else to deal with right now.

Lin Fan looked back at Lord Jin and asked, "Does she have a name?"

Lord Jin shook his head, "We beasts give ourselves names and the princess isn't old enough to speak the human language yet, so she doesn't have a human name yet. She does have a name in the beast language, but I'm not sure if you can pronounce it."

Then after pausing, he said, "I've heard that humans give their pets names, so why don't you help the princess come up with a name?"

What he didn't know was that Lin Fan was famous for his destructive naming sense. Brainy and Rocky had both been past victims of his.

But this time, Lin Fan didn't actually have a destructive naming sense this time.

Lin Fan looked down at the silver fox and thought for a bit before saying, "Shiro, that will be your name."

Shiro, pure white, it was a name that really did suit this silver fox.

This name was something that had popped into Lin Fan's head after seeing the words Inari Okami. For some reason, the name of Shiro's species was in Japanese and it was a famous god from Japan.

The Inari Okami was the Japanese god of foxes, wine, and fertility, one of the main gods in the Shinto Religion. For a beast to have the same species name as this god, could it be that Shiro had a divine bloodline and would one day reach the God Realm?

That was if Lin Fan was able to release the seal that was on her…

Once that was settled, Lin Fan asked Lord Jin, "What will you do now?"

Lord Jin revealed a solemn look, "You might have broken their surveillance, but they know that we're still alive from the death pill that was in us. The only reason the princess didn't receive one as well was because we sacrificed ourselves to serve the leader of the tribe. As long as we're alive, they will track us down and find the princess, so we shouldn't stay here."

Lord Yin looked like he wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Lin Fan took a look at Lord Jin and said, "I already said that I could remove that death pill from you, you don't believe me?"

Lord Jin shook his head with a bitter smile, "There's no need for that anymore, I know how powerful this death pill is and my body isn't in any shape to forcefully take it out. As long as you take care of the princess, it'll be fine."

But how could Lin Fan just let him go?

This Lord Jin was a mutated King Beast with an Abnormal Law, if he were to bring him under him, he would definitely be a strong trump card for Lin Fan.

Especially if he reached the Legendary Realm and could pass Lord Jin off as his pet…

Moreover, Lord Jin had important information about the Beast Clan that Lin Fan wanted. So before he got that information, he definitely wasn't willing to let him leave.

The one other reason was that now he had formed the contract with the silver fox, he could feel her emotions. He could tell that she was sad from the idea of Lord Jin and Lord Yin leaving and she wanted Lin Fan to do something about it.

Lin Fan turned over to the side and said, "Angela, do it."

Angela suddenly raised her hand and there was a wind cage that formed around Lord Jin and Lord Yin.

Lord Yin's face fell and he immediately shouted, "What are you doing?!"
