All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

The young boy nodded. "That's right. I was trying to see her, so of course I had to stop you. Who knew you were together and even burned down my forest?"

Xue Feng was speechless. "Fine, you're right."

The young boy arrogantly raised his chin, then looked at Feng Ning and asked, "So, can you stay now?"

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "Why should I stay? I'm here to train, and once I'm done, I'll naturally leave. There's no reason for me to stay in this secret realm."

The boy was so anxious he almost jumped up. "Then take me with you! I just want to be with you."

Feng Ning's lips twitched. Why did this child seem a little abnormal?

"You really want to come with me?"

"Of course, an important person told me to wait for you here, saying that you would definitely come."

"Did he say what he wanted you to do with me? Did he want something from me, or did he give you to me?"

The young boy looked confused for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"The adults didn't tell me; they just told me to wait for you here."

"Who is the master?"

"A grown-up is a grown-up indeed."

Feng Ning was speechless. What was the difference between this and not saying anything at all?

He simply said, "If you follow me, you must listen to me and not betray me. Can you do that?"

The young boy immediately performed a blood sacrifice to create an array that enveloped the two of them.

Xue Feng panicked and rushed inside, yelling, "What is this? What are you going to do to her?"

Just as he was about to step forward, Lin Tanyu pulled him back, "What's your hurry?"

"Don't pull me! Can't you see Feng Ning is in danger?"

Lin Tanyu rolled her eyes in exasperation. "You're so stupid, you have no bottom line, do you? Open your eyes and see clearly, that's a contract formation."

Xue Feng immediately turned his head to look over and indeed found that the formation was a contract formation. He instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why would he make a contract formation so scary? He even used a blood sacrifice."

Lin Tanyu ignored him and turned her head away.

Inside the formation, the young boy had already taken out Feng Ning's drop of essence blood. "This drop of essence blood was originally prepared for me. I will become your contracted spiritual plant."

Feng Ning smiled and removed the formation.

The young boy immediately became anxious, "Don't you want to take me with you? Why did you remove the formation?"

His eyes were red, and he looked at Feng Ning with a pitiful expression.

Looking at his adorable appearance, Feng Ning couldn't help but go over and pat his head.

Then, in front of him, a new formation was set up.

"I don't need you to sign a life-or-death contract; an equal contract will suffice."

The young boy stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Even the other two looked puzzled.

Feng Ning just stared at him for a long time before the young boy finally came to his senses.

After regaining his senses, he immediately lowered his head, concealing the surprise and joy in his eyes.

Are you really willing to enter into an equal contract with me?

Feng Ning smiled, took the drop of essence blood from his hand, and crushed the amber covering it.

She held the essence of blood in her fingers and merged it into the boy's brow, saying, "With my blood, we form a pact, to share glory and disgrace, never to be separated."

When the young boy looked up, his eyes were red-rimmed, but he had a smile on his lips.

"With your blood I pledge my allegiance, with my soul I take my vow. In this life and the next, I will follow my master, never abandoning him in life or death, and never betraying him."

Feng Ning smiled and patted his head again.

From now on, you'll be following me.

The young boy bowed to her, "Mumu greets Master."

Feng Ning quickly reached out to help him up. "No need for formalities. You don't need to call me master. You can call me boss or big sister. Is your name Mu Mu?"

Mumu nodded. "My name is Mumu. Mumu greets you, sister."

Feng Ning looked at the young man in front of her with deep emotion.

"Mumu, how old are you?"

Mumu innocently said, "I'm two hundred years old."

Feng Ning's lips twitched. Two hundred years old... calling me sister?

Then, an empty voice came from inside the space, "It's a spiritual plant, two hundred years old and still a child."

Feng Ning subconsciously glanced at Mu Mu's true form—a tree so large that even four people might not be able to hug it...

Yes, he's a good boy.

He's at least quite strong.

“Good, you will follow me from now on. But how should I take your tree body? Or should I leave it here?”

With a gentle lift of her hand, Mu Mu saw the large tree uprooted, and the soil beneath it was also dug out.

It then slowly shrank to the size of a palm and returned to Mumu's hand.

"You can just put it away."

Feng Ning understood immediately.

They had already formed a contract, so Mumu knew about her having a space.

She didn't hide it anymore and put Mumu's original body into the space, and had Kongkong find a place to plant it.

After being planted, it quickly took root in the soil and grew back to its original size.

The little Vermilion Bird's wing was injured and it couldn't fly right now, but Blue Feather was quite happy. It spread its wings and flew around Mumu's body several times, feeling very comfortable.

Elder Long originally intended to lend Lan Yu to them for a while.

Later, seeing that Feng Ning had recovered his strength, he generously gave Lan Yu to Feng Ning, making it Feng Ning's contracted beast.

The Blue Feather Crimson-Eyed Bird is only a third-tier demon beast. Although it doesn't have the same noble bloodline as the Little Vermilion Bird, it is still more helpful than the Little Vermilion Bird, whose bloodline has not yet awakened.

From then on, they had another little friend.

Having finally met its master, Mumu naturally didn't want to go into the space, so it followed them.

Xue Feng then asked curiously, "Junior Sister, are you a Beast Tamer?"

Feng Ning shook her head. "I don't think so."

"Then how can you contract a spirit beast?"

Feng Ning laughed, "They're all formations, wouldn't it be normal for me to be like this?"

Xue Feng suddenly realized, "That makes sense."

Then they became excited again, "If we also learn this formation, can we also contract spirit beasts?"

Feng Ning thought for a moment and nodded, "Theoretically speaking, it is possible."

Just as Xue Feng was about to begin learning, Lin Tanyu stepped forward and slapped him on the back. "Don't think about those useless things. If everyone could contract spirit beasts, there wouldn't be a dedicated beast tamer. The most important thing about contracting spirit beasts isn't whether you know how to form a contract formation, but rather the affinity with the spirit beast. Have you forgotten?"

Then Xue Feng lowered his head and said, "Well, it seems I'm not so lucky."

Feng Ning smiled and shook her head. "If you really want it, why don't you test your affinity? If you can, catch a little spirit beast and I'll teach you the formation."

Even though he knew he might not have that luck, Xue Feng still nodded with a smile.
