Chapter 425: 237 Try It (Second Update)_2

Qu Qianhe was Fang Jintang’s wife and also the mother of Fang Yuxin, so naturally, she had this privilege. Everyone else, even if they wanted to, would have to wait for her to try first.

Qu Qianhe, however, didn’t take action immediately but instead turned to Chen Si and said frankly, "I really like this Red Mastiff, but since you’ve also made an effort just now, if you like it too, you can try first."

Chen Si’s gaze flickered slightly, then he quite straightforwardly shook his head, "Madam is too polite. This Red Mastiff is indeed remarkable, but it is of the Fire Element, while I am of the Ice Element. It’s not suitable to follow me; it’s better for Madam to try."

Regardless of whether his intentions were genuine or pretense, since he had said as much, Qu Qianhe didn’t refuse any further. At this moment, Bai Ye had already stepped aside, and Qu Qianhe walked to the center, facing the formidable Red Mastiff through the fierce ice spikes. She released her Spiritual Sense, attempting to connect with it: "Do you wish to follow me and become my companion?"

Qu Qianhe didn’t say "pet," whether out of affection for the Red Mastiff that had saved her back then or out of respect for this Red Mastiff, she felt that the status of "pet" didn’t suit it. It was a mighty Red Mastiff; it should have its own pride.

In response to her was a low growl from the Red Mastiff. However, within this low growl were no traces of anger, but a heavy warning.

Clearly, the Red Mastiff was not willing to submit easily.

Qu Qianhe thought for a moment and then took out a Basic-level Crystal Core and threw it to it. The Red Mastiff immediately stepped back, and the Crystal Core fell to the ground in front of it, sparkling and translucent, incredibly beautiful.

At the time, Bai Ye was standing next to Fang Yuxin; his gaze shifted subtly the moment he saw the sparkling and translucent Basic-level Crystal Core. He recognized it at a glance—it was a Basic-level Crystal Core. But it was by no means an ordinary one. Compared to a regular Basic-level Crystal Core, it was much clearer, and its Energy more pure; it was obviously processed.

Thus, he suddenly recalled what Fang Yuxin had said to Feng Yue before. She had said that Zombie Crystal Cores contained impurities and negative Energy, and direct absorption would inevitably lead to those impurities and negative Energy being incorporated into the body, affecting it.

At the time, she hadn’t mentioned how to resolve this issue, but only told Feng Yue to maintain his true nature.

At that moment, Bai Ye grew doubtful, feeling that Fang Yuxin must have a solution. He could tell it was a secret Fang Yuxin didn’t want to reveal, so he had been holding back from asking.

Now, looking at the sparkling Basic-level Crystal Core, Bai Ye confirmed his suspicions and became even more curious about the method.

When he advanced in the past, he had encountered a bottleneck, and it was only with the help of Fang Yuxin that he eventually succeeded in advancing. Moreover, after advancing, many impurities were expelled from his body. So, if one continuously absorbed such pure Crystal Cores, would future advancements become much easier?

Bai Ye instinctively felt it would be the case but didn’t dare to ask. He was worried that by asking, he might not even manage to maintain a normal friendship with Fang Yuxin.

Fang Yuxin noticed Bai Ye’s conflicted gaze but didn’t pay him any heed, focusing solely on the reaction of the Red Mastiff.

The Red Mastiff was very cautious, sensing the pure Energy within the Crystal Core, and knew that the Energy was highly beneficial to it. But it didn’t lower its guard and immediately swallow the Crystal Core. It hadn’t forgotten how it had turned out this way.

However, it didn’t resist for long, as it desperately needed the Energy within the Crystal Core. The battle had nearly depleted all its Energy, and without recovery, there was no way it could escape!

After hesitating for a while, it lowered its head, sniffed the Crystal Core, and finding no problems, it stuck out its large tongue, rolled up the Crystal Core from the ground, and swallowed it.

Mutant animals and superpower users were different; superpower users absorbed Crystal Cores directly by holding them in their hands, whereas mutant animals swallowed the Crystal Cores and extracted the Energy.

After swallowing the Crystal Core, it quickly found that this Crystal Core was different from those it had swallowed before. The Energy inside was much purer, almost completely dissolved, leaving not even impurities behind.

Not only that, but this pure Energy was also very comfortable to absorb and the absorption rate was even faster!

Once the Red Mastiff realized this, its pitch-black eyes suddenly brightened, and the look it gave Qu Qianhe was filled with longing; its voice no longer sounded as warning as before.

Having experience in raising a Red Mastiff, Qu Qianhe immediately understood there was hope. However, she did not continue to throw Crystal Cores to it but once again reached out with her Spiritual Sense to contact its consciousness: "As long as you agree to become my companion, I will give you many more of these Crystal Cores."

This time, she received a response from the Red Mastiff: "Want... want more... give me... give me more..."

It probably expressed its intentions for the first time, and the returned thoughts were not very clear, but Qu Qianhe understood what it meant.

She threw another Basic-level Crystal Core, then continued with her Spiritual Sense, "Promise me, become my companion."

After she finished speaking, she pricked her fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and flicked the Blood Pearl toward the brow of the Red Mastiff, all while using her Spiritual Sense, "As long as you accept it, you will be my companion from now on."

The Red Mastiff quickly swallowed the Crystal Core and then stared intently at the Blood Pearl floating in front of it.

The standoff continued, with Qu Qianhe tirelessly contacting its consciousness with her Spiritual Sense, constantly persuading, while the Red Mastiff kept demanding more Crystal Cores.

Seeing that the stalemate was unbreakable, Fang Yuxin took out a Fire Element Elemental Crystal, conveying her intention: "Accept that Blood Pearl, and this Elemental Crystal will be yours."(To be continued.
