Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Yan Yue didn't care about the fate of the bully Wu. She gently caressed the shivering sable cub in her arms, soothing it softly. After Nong Jin finished handling the follow-up matters, he returned to Yan Yue's side, his eyes filled with tenderness. He didn't inquire about the sable cub's origins, but simply stayed by her side, offering her silent support.

"Let's go," Yan Yue looked up at Nong Jin with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Let's complete the contract."

Nong Jin nodded, and the two of them flew over to the quiet valley recommended by Pharmacist Song. The spiritual energy there was abundant, making it the perfect place for a spirit beast contract.

The valley was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the air was fresh, a world away from the perilous situation she had just experienced. Yan Yue carefully arranged the contract formation, following Pharmacist Song's instructions. She placed the pre-prepared spirit stones in their designated locations and meticulously removed several precious spirit herbs, placing them in a specific order.

However, the final ingredient, the Moon Spirit Flower, remained elusive. Yan Yue couldn't help but feel a surge of worry. Without the Moon Spirit Flower, the contract ceremony couldn't be completed.

"What's wrong?" Nong Jin noticed Yan Yue's uneasiness and asked softly.

Yan Yue told Nong Jin about the lack of Moon Spirit Flowers, and Nong Jin frowned slightly. Moon Spirit Flowers were extremely rare, and even in the world of immortal cultivation, they were not easy to find.

"Don't worry," Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand, giving her strength, "Let's look for it together."

The two searched the valley carefully, but time passed, but they still couldn't find any trace of the Moon Spirit Flower. Yan Yue's heart sank. Was this contract doomed to fail?

Just as she was about to give up, a silvery light flickered on the nearby mountain wall. Yan Yue's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly walked over. She saw a crystal-clear Moon Spirit Flower quietly blooming in a crevice in the mountain wall, emitting a faint fragrance.

Found it! Yan Yue carefully picked the Moon Spirit Flower, her heart filled with joy and excitement. With the Moon Spirit Flower, the contract ceremony could finally begin.

She returned to the center of the formation and placed the Moon Spirit Flower in its center. With the addition of the Moon Spirit Flower, the entire formation emanated a soft glow, and a powerful spiritual energy wave rippled across the valley.

Yan Yue took a deep breath and gently placed the sable cub in the center of the magic circle. The little guy seemed to sense something, and with his big, watery eyes, he looked around curiously.

Yan Yue, following the ancient contract method, began chanting the incantation. Her voice was clear and melodious, echoing through the valley. As the incantation continued, the light of the magic circle grew brighter, and the sable cub's body began to emit a faint fluorescent light.

"Contract, begin!" Yan Yue's voice was firm and powerful. The sable cub raised its head and looked at Yan Yue, its eyes full of trust. It nodded gently... and a subtle black aura quietly drifted from the depths of the valley.

The moment the sable cub nodded gently, the light of the contract formation suddenly intensified, enveloping both the sable and the human. As if alive, the ancient runes danced and swirled in the air, finally merging slowly into the sable cub's forehead. Yan Yue held her breath, not daring to slack off. She chanted to herself, her hands constantly moving in complex gestures, channeling the power of the contract.

The ancient contract ritual was indeed incredibly complex, each step requiring exquisite precision. The slightest mistake could lead to the entire ceremony's failure. Fine beads of sweat formed on Yan Yue's forehead, but she didn't dare wipe them away. She could only concentrate on controlling the flow of her spiritual energy and maintaining the stability of the contract.

A faint evil aura permeated the surrounding air, the product of the lingering resentment of the evil bully Wu. Like maggots clinging to the bones, this evil aura constantly attempted to disrupt the contract ceremony. It transformed into black mist and silently drifted toward the sable cub at the center of the magic circle.

Nong Jin's eyes were sharp, constantly alert to the surroundings. He stood beside Yan Yue, like an impenetrable barrier, protecting her safety. If any evil aura approached, he would strike without hesitation, his powerful spiritual power transforming into golden light, dispelling the black mist.

"Hiss..." A sharp hissing sound suddenly rang out, and an evil spirit formed from black mist suddenly emerged from the depths of the valley and pounced on Yan Yue. The evil spirit had a hideous face and exuded a sickening stench of decay. Its claws flashed with a cold light, as if it wanted to tear Yan Yue into pieces.

A cold glint flashed in Nong Jin's eyes, and he flashed, instantly blocking Yan Yue. He formed a seal with one hand and whispered, "Heavenly Thunder Art!" A dazzling golden lightning bolt descended from the sky, fiercely striking the evil spirit.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the evil spirit let out a shrill scream and instantly turned to ashes. However, this was only the beginning. More and more evil spirits poured out from the depths of the valley, and like a tide, they surrounded Yan Yue and Nong Jin.

Nong Jin remained calm. He waved his hands continuously, and golden lightning poured out like a violent storm, defeating the evil spirits one by one. His figure shuttled around the magic circle like a god of war, guarding the contract ceremony.

Despite Nong Jin's strength, the number of these evil spirits was too great, and they seemed endless, constantly pouring out from the depths of the valley. Nong Jin's spiritual power was greatly consumed, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.

At this moment, the contract ceremony entered its most critical moment. Yan Yue's face was pale, and her spiritual power was almost exhausted. But she still gritted her teeth and persevered, her hands constantly changing the finger gestures to maintain the stability of the contract.

Suddenly, a powerful evil aura emanated from the depths of the valley, and a gigantic black figure slowly emerged. The figure was as tall as a mountain, emitting a suffocating pressure.

"Oh no! It's the residual soul of the evil bully Wu!" Nong Jin's face changed and he said in a deep voice.

The massive black figure let out a deafening roar and lunged towards Yan Yue and Nong Jin… Nong Jin protected Yan Yue behind him, his eyes determined: “Yuer, don’t be afraid, I will definitely protect you!” A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a gleaming golden sword appeared…

A golden sword beam pierced the sky, colliding with the massive black figure with a deafening roar. Nong Jin's figure moved like lightning, his sword wielding like the wind as he engaged in a fierce battle with the remnant of Wu the Bully's spirit. Each of his strikes brimmed with powerful spiritual energy, forcing the remnant spirit to retreat repeatedly.

Yan Yue hid behind Nong Jin, feeling both worried and touched. Seeing Nong Jin carefully guarding her, her heart was filled with love. This man always protected her without hesitation, making her feel incredibly safe and warm. She knew that Nong Jin was her most solid support.

The contract ceremony continued, but the sable cub suddenly felt a little frightened. Its body trembled slightly, and its eyes were filled with fear. Yan Yue noticed the sable's strangeness and quickly injected a trace of gentle spiritual power into its body, soothing its uneasy emotions. "Don't be afraid, little one, I will protect you," Yan Yue said softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

With Yan Yue's comfort, the sable cub gradually calmed down. It raised its head and looked at Yan Yue with a pair of big, trusting eyes, as if to say, "I believe you."

Yan Yue's spiritual energy was nearly exhausted, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Finally, the contract ceremony was completed. A small golden mark appeared on the sable cub's forehead, symbolizing the contract. At the same time, a powerful force surged from the sable cub's body and merged with Yan Yue's, bringing her a sense of comfort.

"The contract was successful!" Yan Yue said happily. She gently stroked the sable's soft fur, her heart filled with joy.

After the contract was completed, the sable cub seemed to undergo some transformation. Its fur became smoother, its eyes more lively, and a faint spiritual aura emanated from it. Yan Yue sensed that the sable cub's potential was far greater than she had imagined. This made her even more excited to see what surprises the sable cub would bring her.

Nong Jin had driven back the remaining spirit of Wu the Bully, and the valley returned to peace. Nong Jin walked over to Yan Yue and asked with concern, "Yuer, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks to you." Yan Yue said with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.

Nong Jin gently touched Yan Yue's head and said, "Silly, it's my responsibility to protect you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After a short rest, Yan Yue carefully placed the sable cub into a specially crafted spirit beast bag. She knew this was just the beginning of their adventure. More challenges awaited them, but she wasn't afraid, for she knew that no matter what happened, Nong Jin would be by her side.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Yan Yue, carrying the sable cub, headed towards the distant market. She had heard that a mysterious merchant there might have a special herb that could help the sable cub grow better. But she didn't know that this merchant's shop was hidden in a corner of the market, making it difficult to find him...

"I hope I can find it successfully this time..." Yan Yue murmured to herself, her figure gradually disappearing in the bustling crowd. In her hand, she tightly grasped a small jade pendant, which was...
