Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 223 Could it be that White Emperor?

Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Could it be that White Emperor?

Immediately, he curiously sized up White Emperor, trying to see what sort of Demon Beast it was and why it looked just like an ordinary cat.

Looking it over from left to right, now and then he furrowed his brow and then nodded.

However, just at that moment, Shu Wan picked up White Emperor in her arms and exclaimed, "Wow, what a cute Demon Beast."

"Be careful!" Qin Wanfeng immediately intervened to stop her.

He was startled!

This was a Demon Beast, after all, and an unidentified one at that. Even tamed ones, with their master present, could be quite dangerous.

But it seemed his worries were somewhat superfluous; the event he imagined didn’t happen. After being picked up by Shu Wan, White Emperor showed no resistance at all.

It just curiously observed her and then sniffed with its nose, its eyes lighting up, displaying joy as it snuggled into Shu Wan’s embrace and affectionately rubbed against her.

Seeing this, Qin Wanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This cat seemed like a very docile Demon Beast.

No wonder it was so easily tamed by Xiao Zhan.

"What kind of Demon Beast is this?" Qin Wanfeng asked.

"Not sure, it was found in the White Emperor Secret Realm. It shamelessly followed me out," Xiao Zhan replied.

Normally, Demon Beasts cannot change their size at will. White Emperor could change its size freely, so its bloodline must be of a high grade. Xiao Zhan did not want to reveal this secret to Qin Wanfeng.

"Shamelessly?"

Hearing this description, Qin Wanfeng appeared somewhat astonished.

"So, this means the Demon Beast must possess some level of intelligence."

Watching White Emperor acting just like a cat in Shu Wan’s arms, Qin Wanfeng felt more at ease.

Intelligent Demon Beasts generally do not attack without reason.

"Have you named it yet?"

"Yes, White Emperor."

"White Emperor?"

Upon hearing the name, Qin Wanfeng looked even more surprised than before.

"Is there something wrong with this name?" Xiao Zhan asked out of curiosity.

He hadn’t put much thought into the name; it was found in the White Emperor Secret Realm, and since its fur was all white, so he chose this name.

Qin Wanfeng shook his head and came back to his senses, "It’s nothing, just feels like quite a coincidence. Because the White Emperor Spirit Academy was established based on the White Emperor Secret Realm. When they discovered the Secret Realm, there was a White Tiger Demon Beast guarding it. That beast was wounded and disappeared, which allowed the academy to be established."

"Because the beast was all white and looked majestic, exuding the dignity of an emperor, it was later named White Emperor, and the academy took the name White Emperor Spirit Academy too."

"But don’t get too excited; it certainly isn’t your beast. That White Emperor was a tiger; your White Emperor is just a little cat."

After hearing his words, Xiao Zhan’s face remained smiling, but inside he was incredibly shocked.

Because his White Emperor was not just any cat, but a real tiger!

White Emperor, White Emperor.

Could it really be such a coincidence, that this White Emperor cat was the same tiger White Emperor from a hundred years ago?

If that were true, had he stumbled upon a treasure?

"What grade was that White Emperor Demon Beast from back then?" Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Wanfeng thought for a moment and said, "That Demon Beast’s grade wasn’t very high, after all, it was guarding a Secret Realm of benefits, so its strength couldn’t have been too great. But that beast had a special ability; it was incredibly fast. Even a Sixth Grade Spirit Master didn’t manage to kill it, so you can imagine."

Listening to him, Xiao Zhan felt more and more that his White Emperor was that very same one, because its speed was also very fast, and not just fast but also strange!

Could it be said that this little cat really was White Emperor?

He watched the White Emperor searching curiously in Shu Wan’s arms, feeling it was still more reassuring to hold it back in his arms.

But just as Xiao Zhan was about to pick it up, the creature stubbornly refused to leave, clinging onto Shu Wan’s embrace, burying its head into the crevice between her arms and waist, and kept burrowing in persistently.

It almost stretched into a cat strip yet still showed no sign of coming out.

This scene amused Shu Wan into giggles.

"Looks like it quite likes me, don’t worry, it won’t hurt me, let go," Shu Wan said to Xiao Zhan.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to let go.

After all, animals are animals, especially a Demon Beast like a cat, which won’t care who you are if it gets pushed too far.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help thinking that it would be great if, just like in fantasy novels, Demon Beasts could also be bound by Contracts, then there wouldn’t be any fear of it suddenly going berserk and hurting people.

This kind of free-range keeping is still too dangerous.

After Xiao Zhan let go, the White Emperor did not stop its exploration, continuing to crane its cat head into the crevice.

This behavior puzzled Xiao Zhan, wondering if this could be a lecherous cat wanting to take advantage of others.

But this wasn’t a tunnel; what was it trying to squeeze into?

Just as he was doubting, the White Emperor suddenly paused its action and then abruptly pulled its head out.

"Boo~"

An elegant sound accompanied by a charming head shake.

Then Xiao Zhan saw a Spirit Fruit appear in the White Emperor’s mouth.

"Don’t eat it!"

Xiao Zhan’s face instantly changed.

Damn it, I thought it was just a lecherous cat, but it turned out to be a gluttonous cat.

It was burrowing so desperately in, not a nice spot, yet it turned out to be finding a Spirit Fruit!

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but bump up the White Emperor’s gluttony attribute a level!

However, it seemed the White Emperor knew Xiao Zhan would stop it, and in a swift move bit down on the fruit.

Then with big, pitiful eyes, it looked at Xiao Zhan as if to say, "No way, you want to fight over food even an animal has touched?"

Once a Spirit Fruit is bitten, it must be immediately consumed in its entirety; otherwise, it has no value for preservation.

The White Emperor evidently knew this as well and therefore only bit it without continuing.

Then its expression shifted from pitiful to resigned, as if saying, "See, I obey you, you say don’t eat, and I won’t."

Gulp.

First, let’s swallow what’s in the mouth.

Xiao Zhan laughed, nearly conquered by this creature’s acting skills—he had never before thought a Demon Beast could be so shameless!

But don’t underestimate human lowliness, especially mine.

My bottom line is that I have no bottom line!

So don’t you think you can get away with gobbling up this Spiritual Fruit easily; I’m going to show you what it means to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth today!

Just as he was about to give it a lesson, Shu Wan spoke up, "It’s fine, it’s just a Third Grade Spiritual Fruit, let it be if it’s eaten."

Saying that, she picked up the Spirit Fruit and fed it to the White Emperor herself.

Of course, the White Emperor didn’t hold back and began to gobble it up.

While eating, it rubbed its head against Shu Wan’s arm, clearly understanding how to act cute.

Qin Wanfeng, who was standing beside them, was surprised at the intelligence it displayed; such human-like behavior had exceeded many other intelligent Demon Beasts.
