Chapter 305: Chapter 234 One-eyed Demon Dog
...
The forest suddenly became more enchanting than ever before. Colors were more vibrant, and even the corpse of the One-eyed Demon Dog looked like a fluffy little puppy.
As Yan Xiaobao moved closer to the Snake Woman, he unknowingly smiled. Suddenly, his body gave a sudden jolt, and Yan Xiaobao felt his consciousness being pulled away while his body was taken over by Lan Feng.
Xiu Yue was filled with shock, as he realized this Snake Woman was indeed capable of confusing a man’s senses with her allure, but he also understood that she did this unconsciously. In some ways, she was entirely like a child.
"Don’t be fooled," Lan Feng warned, still maintaining control over the body. "Even though her rank isn’t high, she still possesses the intelligence of a King Beast, considering her human blood."
Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao was slightly startled. He had never imagined that human blood could bring such significant benefits to this magical beast. While it was undoubtedly advantageous, it also proved that these humanoid beasts were distinct from Divine Beasts, yet they were not human either.
The Snake Woman let out a low growl as she watched Yan Xiaobao with curious eyes.
"No," Lan Feng called out forcefully. "We’re leaving soon." As soon as the words echoed, a look of concern appeared on the woman’s face, followed by a raspy growl and then a dry chuckle.
"We’re from the big city," Lan Feng said. Yan Xiaobao saw the Phoenix conversing with the Snake Woman. Their conversation lasted a long time, and Yan Xiaobao could feel the frustration growing fiercer in Lan Feng’s soul as he repeatedly tried to explain that Yan Xiaobao was only here for training and lived in a village outside the forest, far from the city.
"Listen to this woman’s voice!" Lan Feng finally roared, his patience having run out. "Unless you make a Beast Oath, you will never meet him again!"
Hearing the mention of a Beast Oath, Yan Xiaobao furrowed his brow. As a cultivator, how could he not understand what a Beast Oath was? A Beast Oath was much like a Blood Oath, a pledge where beasts swore their lives to the cultivator they made the vow to.
Different from a soul contract, a Beast Oath was a primary servant-master relationship, a bond sealed by blood. This meant that the cultivator and the beast could not communicate with one another until the beast attained enough intelligence to learn the human tongue—a feat that typically did not occur until they reached the Emperor or King level.
A beast would never willingly lower themselves to make a Beast Oath, and many would rather die than become a human’s servant. If such an extreme situation arose, the cultivator could opt to capture the beast’s soul and absorb it.
To capture a beast’s soul, an inscription pattern created by a Water Cultivation Personnel was required. These patterns prevented the soul from entering the netherworld, instead binding it to the one who activated the inscription. By devouring the soul, it would become linked to the cultivator’s cultivation base, forcing the soul to channel its power to enhance the abilities of the human cultivator.
Through the earlier discussions, Yan Xiaobao had realized that the Snake Woman was deeply curious about Hui Yue and others, but after hearing Lan Feng mention the Beast Oath, Yan Xiaobao knew that the Snake Woman would likely be infuriated. If she weren’t angry, at the very least, she would be displeased and try to change the subject.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as Lan Feng and Yan Xiaobao had anticipated. The Snake Woman lunged forward without warning, a chilling cold spreading through Yan Xiaobao’s body. Before he could react, blood had already been drawn from his arm.
Seeing this, Yan Xiaobao became highly alert. He swiftly dispersed his energy throughout his body to unleash his deadliest attack, the Spark of Mars. But before he could retaliate, he realized the Snake Woman wasn’t launching another attack. Instead, she had merged her arm with one of her claw-like nails into his wound.
Then, she mixed Yan Xiaobao’s blood with her own, and her growling voice let out a few angry snarls.
As the snarls faded, a golden light glimmered over the wound on her arm, with silver rays enveloping the entire beast and eventually illuminating the entire area with a warm, gentle glow.
Yan Xiaobao felt the light being absorbed through the cut on his arm as it gradually healed, leaving only a small scar. The remaining light surged toward the Snake Woman. Some of it entered her wound, just as it had entered his.
The rest of the light moved to her forehead, forming a pearl-like gemstone that absorbed the remaining glow. The gemstone slowly disappeared into her forehead. Now, her once-beautiful red eyes had turned silver—a sign that she had successfully submitted to a cultivator and made her Beast Oath.
Silence fell over the small clearing in the forest. Both Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng were stunned, unable to speak or even show anger at witnessing a beast initiate a Beast Oath so resolutely. Finally, Lan Feng cleared his throat and asked: "What is your name?"
Back at the camp, Yan Xiaobao heaved a deep sigh. He was now traveling with his new beast companion, but no matter how he looked at this woman, he simply couldn’t perceive her as a beast.
