Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Gu Liyue looked at everyone and thought they must be full.

The waiter came over and Gu Liyue asked, "How many spirit stones are there for this meal?"

The waiter said, "A total of 504 low-grade spirit stones. I'll give you a small change, so I'll take 500 low-grade spirit stones."

Xiahou Jingrong said, "Just now your shopkeeper said that we can give guests a discount on meals."

The waiter said, "Oh, then pay at the counter."

Xiahou Jingrong followed the waiter to pay the bill. When they got there, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then I'll charge you 480 low-grade spirit stones!"

Xiahou Jingrong did some calculations and felt that it was better than nothing. He decided not to eat in this restaurant tomorrow.

I had no choice but to pay and ask everyone to go back to their rooms.

The ten of them were placed in the same yard.

Gu Liyue took out the formation plate, installed the spirit stone, and let it work. In an instant, a layer of light golden light enveloped the entire yard.

Gu Liyue hadn't had time to enter the space recently, so she couldn't go in to check on Xiaoxuan's condition or organize the things she had collected from the Devil Valley.

She first took out all the photo stones and asked, "Who has fast and beautiful handwriting? Can you help me copy the books on alchemy, talismans, and refining?"

Nie Hengzhou said, "I copied the weapon refining book myself."

Qiao Zhiwen and Li Xiuyuan took over the Danshu and Fushu.

Gu Liyue said, "Then you two should copy it quickly and give it to me as soon as you're done. I'll hurry up and make the elixir and draw the talisman."

As he spoke, Gu Liyue took Xiao Bai Ze out and placed him on the table in the yard.

Little Bai Ze had a confused look on his face, but slowly became clear-headed. He shouted "Roar~" to Gu Liyue.

Gu Liyue seemed to understand what it meant: "You don't want to be called Kitten, right?"

It raised its head proudly, and then rubbed Gu Liyue's hand with its horns.

At this time everyone gathered around and looked at it.

"What should we do with this one? What do you think?" Gu Liyue asked. "Back then, things were urgent, and I hadn't figured out what to do with it. I just wanted to take it away and leave. Now that everyone's here, let's discuss it."

Wen Qinnuan loved the furry little animals as soon as she saw them.

She reached out to touch its head, but the little Bai Ze arrogantly dodged it and pounced on Gu Liyue.

Gu Liyue had no choice but to catch it: "These are all my friends."

Wen Qinnuan felt that Xiaoxuan was still not as fun, so she asked, "Why doesn't Xiaoxuan come out? I haven't seen it for a long time."

Gu Liyue said: "I don't know either. I haven't seen him since my last promotion."

Qing Xiao said, "I think he almost became bald after being struck by lightning last time. With his personality, he must be too embarrassed to see anyone!"

After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Little Baize looked at Qingxiao and understood what she said. Its wet round eyes kept nodding, and its cute look made everyone fall in love with it.

Yun Lizhi looked at it and said, "Do you really know?"

Little Bai Ze nodded again, which made Yun Lizhi laugh as well: "This little thing is so cute!"

Hearing this, it turned around and faced its butt towards Yun Lizhi.

Yun Lizhi said, "Oh, you call it cute, but it's not happy about it."

Qing Xiao looked at everyone and explained, "This is Bai Ze, an auspicious beast. It is full of positive energy and can bring good luck to people.

Moreover, it is very smart and can see through everything in the world, even things in the underworld.

It's just been born and doesn't have the ability to protect itself yet. It also has some skills that need to be awakened as it grows."

When everyone heard it was Bai Ze, they suppressed their surging emotions and listened quietly to Qingxiao's explanation.

Xiao Ju said: "It turned out to be Bai Ze?"

Xiahou Jingrong said, "Bai Ze, if it were placed in the Qingxuan Continent, it would be a divine beast that the powerful would fight for!"

Nie Hengzhou said, "Isn't it also something that everyone in the Cangwu Realm fights for?"

Everyone stared at it with shining eyes. The little creature glanced at everyone and felt like a piece of meat being stared at by several wolves. It shrank back and buried its head in Gu Liyue's arms.

Gu Liyue said, "It's still young and can't protect itself. The best way is to form a pact with a cultivator. Does anyone among you want one?"

After a pause, she added, "If too many people want it, let it choose."

Everyone said in unison: "Okay."

Then he looked at Xiao Baize with burning eyes.

Gu Liyue said, "Xiao Bai Ze, just choose one of us to form a bond with! I know you can understand."

Xiao Baize looked at her and nodded.

Then it looked at them seriously. Nine people gathered around the table, and Xiao Bai Ze walked forward along the edge of the table.

Qing Xiao looked at it, its head held high and chest puffed out in a proud and arrogant manner, and thought to himself: A dignified divine beast is so weak. What's there to be proud of?

It walked in front of Nie Hengzhou, stopped for a moment, and wrinkled its nose.

Everyone thought it had chosen Nie Hengzhou, but when they saw that its expression didn't seem very good, they watched it walk away again.

It stopped in front of Yun Lizhi again. Yun Lizhi remembered that she still had an egg in her storage ring. No matter how much spiritual energy she poured into it, it didn't move. She could feel the vitality inside, but she thought it was just not the right time. She looked forward to the day when she would have a contracted spiritual beast.

It would be great if she could contract Bai Ze today. She liked it the first time she saw it.

Unexpectedly, it moved forward again. At this time, Wen Qinnuan took out the red fruits that she had picked at the place where Bai Ze was born, took a few and gave them to Gu Liyue, saying, "Liyue, since you didn't pick any today, I'll share some with you."

Gu Liyue didn't bother to be polite with her and put them away, leaving one for her to take a bite. Her mouth was filled with fragrance and spiritual energy. Gu Liyue squinted her eyes as if enjoying it.

Wen Qinnuan took one to Bai Ze and shook it: "Do you want to eat it?"

Others looked at her: "..." Are you starting to bribe her?

Bai Ze walked forward, took a bite, and walked away as usual.

Wen Qinnuan: “…” This… has no effect at all.

Xiao Ju burst out laughing, and the others also tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Bai Ze walked up to Xiao Ju, who touched his head and said, "You're so handsome!"

As a result, Bai Ze left again, and this time it was Wen Qinnuan's turn to smile.

When it came to Su He, Su He also touched its head. It rubbed his hand, raised its head to look at him, and then walked away.

Su He felt inexplicably happy.

It came in front of Li Xiuyuan, and Li Xiuyuan looked at him reservedly.

Bai Ze exchanged glances with him and walked away.

Coming in front of Xiahou Jingrong, he said, "Xiao Bai Ze, I want to make a contract with you. Do you agree?"

Xiao Bai Ze moved his nose, as if trying to identify the scent.

Then Xiahou Jingrong watched it walk away with regret.

Qiao Zhiwen watched it walk around before coming to him. It seemed that the probability of him being chosen was very high!

He stretched out his hand with a burning gaze, but it rubbed his palm and then left. His heart was at peace.

Finally, he stopped beside Gu Liyue and dived into her arms.

Qing Xiao said, "It chose Gu Liyue."

The others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but they were also convinced.

At this moment, Xiaoxuan's voice rang out with a hint of resentment: "Liyue, don't you want Xiaoxuan anymore? Why do you still want to take in other spirit beasts as contracted beasts?"
