Chapter 425: 425: Back to Heavenly City

Fantasy Forest’s Core Region

Yue Xuexia, after finishing the evolution of the former white tiger king, which had now evolved into an ice elemental tiger king. The rest of them rested and planned to leave this core region when the sunlight came out by dawn.

Yue Xuexia and Fu Lili were well looked after by the two flower spirits. Even creating a flower bed for them to sleep for the night, as for the males, they can only sleep in the grass with the other spirit beasts that choose to sign a master-servant contract with them.

With the blue lotus flower as the precedent, the other spirit beasts that wanted to leave the fantasy forest had signed with the humans under a fair contract with the guidance of Yue Xuexia. It can be said that even though this contract is similar to a master-servant contract, the spirit beast can cut off the contract at any time.

Likewise, humans as well. Those who tried to use the contract to force the spirit beast to do their bidding without care for the life of the latter will cause backlash to the master. If the beast causes the life of its master to be put in danger intentionally, it would be suppressed by the contract as well.

The humans in the core region had signed a contract with their chosen beast spirit. Fu Lili signed with a panda bear that can shrink and increase its size whenever it wants. It was even more. More powerful than Fu Lili’s cultivation, making it a protective guardian. Mo Jue had chosen a hawk spirit beast.

The most unexpected contract is the one with Lin Chiru. No one knows why the brother of the Ice Elemental White Tiger King signed a contract with Lin Chiru. Even though this young white tiger is a bit weaker than its master, after it was affected by its brother’s evolution, its potential had greatly increased as well. However, it is an undeniable fact that it had chosen Lin Chiru as its master. An eagle was chosen by Wan Yuren, a flame wolf for Hou Wen, and a sentient mimosa plant for Di Lou.

Morning, in the core region of the fantasy forest.

This time, everyone is preparing to return to the city. They left the inner region after being escorted by the new ruler of the Fantasy Forest, the Ice Elemental White Tiger. Their group had increased in numbers, adding the spirit beasts that agreed to sign contracts with them. Everyone was riding on the backs of their spirit beasts except Yue Xuexia, who hadn’t signed any spirit beast big enough to ride on.

Everyone felt awkward with how Yue Xuexia chose to walk on their way out. Moreover, if she stops, they will as well. No one was willing to leave behind. Yue Xuexia also noticed this.

She said, "I still plan to pick some more ordinary herbs in the outer region of the Fantasy Forest. You guys should go ahead and report to your sects. I will be alright alone."

"No. It’s dangerous to be alone. I will stay with you," said Fu Lili.

Mo Jue said, "There should be no problem staying in the forest for another day."

The other four men also agreed to it. Thus, the way back to the city took a while. On their way back, thanks to Yue Xuexia, everyone had picked a lot of low-grade herbs. It was more than enough to supply the sect for the incoming beast riot. At the gates, everyone was shocked by the spirit beast the group had brought back with them, causing some of the elders of their respective sects to welcome them into the town.

"An Innateness realm beast. There are even a few Golden Core realm spirit beasts among the group."

"Flame Wolf at Peak Innateness Realm. Not bad, Xiao Wen; this child is about to break through the Jindan Realm, much faster than you are," an elder from the Heavenly Flame Sect said.

Hou Wen said, "Uncle, I’ve also reached the Peak Innateness Realm."

"Eh? Oh, shit! It’s real. What did you do?" The elder from the Heavenly Flame Sect exclaims.

"Wind Eagle at Early Jindan Realm. Early Jindan Realm Hawk and... Mid Jindan Realm (Panda) Steel Eating Bear? Lili, how did you get it to sign the contract with you? Your spirit beast is much more powerful than your senior brothers," Three Sword’s Peak Master Guan said.

Fu Lili smiled and said, "I don’t know. I just ask if he is willing to come with me and sign a contract."

"But how can you sign a contract with such a large gap in level?" Peak Master Guan asked in bewilderment.

As for the Heavenly Medicine Sect Elder, the moment Di Lou showed his contracted plan spirit, he was so amazed. After all, plant spirits are rare, and they rarely sign a contract with a human.

"Oh my, what a little cutie~ Is it a sentient Mimosa? This little one is at least a few hundred years old. If you want it to grow, then we will gather more resources for it," the elder of the Heavenly Medicine Sect said.

Di Lou said, "My little Mimi said he is about to turn human. It also told me what it needs to do."

"Isn’t this little one still at the Innateness Realm? How can it turn humans into such a realm? Don’t tell me... Is it enlightenment!? This is amazing!" The Heavenly Medicine Sect Elder said.

At the side, Yue Xuexia is holding Huaxue and Huashui in her arms while watching the group gather more around them. Only she and Lin Chiru didn’t have any elders to welcome them.

Yue Xuexia noticed it and asked, "Do you not have any elders in your store?"

"Not. I have servants, though," responded Lin Chiru. "Do you wish for me to send you back?"

"No need. I will be alright alone," said Yue Xuexia as she was suddenly nudged softly by the white tiger from behind.

Softly roar~

This White Tiger is the little one that she first met when she landed in the Fantasy Forest.

Yue Xuexia said, "You wanted to escort me home as thanks for helping your brother?"

The white tiger nods its head. Being stared at with the begging eyes of the white tiger, Yue Xuexia gave up and agreed in the end.

Sigh~

She had no other choice but to agree. "Alright then. You can send me to the gates of my house."

"That’s good. Up you go."

Before Yue Xuexia could react, Lin Chiru had carried her up to the back of the White Tiger. The latter did choose to ride with her and just stood beside them.

Lin Chiru said, "You live at the Heavenly Manor, right?"

"Yes. Please don’t worry about me all of a sudden next time," said Yue Xuexia with an expressionless face, even though her voice sounded a bit cold. Not because she is unfriendly, but because she and Lin Chiru are not friends and just acquaintances.

Lin Chiru smiled and said, "I will ask next time."

The children in Yue Xuexia’s arms watched the whole scene and whispered to one another.

Huaxue, "This bad man seems interested in Mom. What should we do, Brother Shui?"

"Ignore him. Men are all like that towards beauty. Mom is extremely beautiful. It’s normal for men to crowd around her. He wouldn’t be the last one," said Huashui.

Frowning, Huaxue said, "But Uncle Shen will get angry. He just burned him."

"Who is Uncle Shen?" asked Huashui. He also noticed the wisp of golden flames that lightly brushed at the hands of Lin Chiru when he carried his mistress.

Huaxue said, "Uncle Shen is a bling-bling person—so bright and so warm, the opposite of Mom."

Yue Huashui finally noticed how hard it was to talk to children who don’t know much vocabulary. He can only say, "Xuexue, let’s learn how to read with your brother when we get home."

"No! Xuexue hates studying. Xuexue hates Brother Shui now! Hmp!" Huaxue said.

Huashui panicked and said, "Brother is joking. No studying. Don’t be angry anymore, Xuexue~"

The conversation between the two children was heard by Yue Xuexia and Lin Chiru. They couldn’t help but laugh at them. There are lots of eyes falling on them on their way to the Heavenly Manor. The commotion within the crowd can be heard everywhere.

"Eh? Is that veiled beauty carrying two children? Did she save them from the fantasy forest?"

"Since when did the owner of the Crimson Cloud Pavilion become close to the Lady of the Heavenly Manor?"

"They look like lovers."

"Watch your mouth. The last time someone said something bad towards the Lady of the Heavenly Manor, their place was burned down to ashes, and no one even saw who it was."

"If you don’t want to get cremated, hold your tongues!"

Yue Xuexia and Lin Chiru ignored the commotion on the way and bought two tanghulu for the two children before finally reaching the Heavenly Manor. Yue Xuexia jumps down before Lin Chiru can make a move. Before she entered the manor, Yue Xuexia turned her head to look at Lin Chiru.

She said, "Don’t fall in love with me. I do not have a heart. I will never understand your feelings, nor will I be able to accept them. Stop before you hurt yourself."

Yue Xuexia entered the manor without inviting Lin Chiru in. But she had already patted the white tiger enough and enjoyed his fluffy fur before leaving. The moment Yue Xuexia entered the manor, Lin Chiru pulled out the hand he had hidden in his sleeves. Narrowing his eyes while looking at the burns on it, he recalls what the children had said just now.

He mumbles with a smile, "Uncle Shen, is it? Too possessive for someone who couldn’t even show himself." He took a pill to cure his hands.

Lin Chiru rode on the back of his white tiger and patted it the same way Yue Xuexia did. Then they took off as soon as possible to return to the Crimson Cloud Manor.
