I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Just as Xie Fengnan was contemplating his Crimson Blood Copper and their happy lives.

Xiaoxue's husband, who had been barely noticeable from the moment they met until before their evolution, suddenly started speaking.

"Wife?"

Its voice was soft and sweet; if Xie Fengnan had to describe it, he thought it was like that of a little kid who was only a few years old.

Wait, he spoke too?

Xie Fengnan uncovered the system.

(Xia, come out and eat some melon seeds! I didn't expect they could talk after eating the Aptitude Pill!)

(Could it be because they evolved?)

"Based on my database analysis, it has been confirmed that it is the effect of the Aptitude Pill."

"Because many powerful beasts do not possess the ability to speak."

"They clearly haven't reached that level of blood concentration yet."

(That's true, but wouldn't it seem even stranger if the pet could talk?)

The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders.

Xia said this meaningfully.

While Xie Fengnan was communicating with the system, Xiaoxue gave her future husband a haughty look and said, "Hmph, you're not my husband yet."

Xie Fengnan's assessment of Xiaoxue's voice was, "What's the difference between this and a primary school student's?"

Hahahaha, it's like watching two kindergarteners fall in love!

"Ahem—" Xie Fengnan focused their attention on himself, "Xiaoxue, you've become so beautiful overnight, you're absolutely gorgeous."

"Brother Xie—" Xiaoxue still nudged Xie Fengnan with her head, but her size was completely different from yesterday, and she almost buried Xie Fengnan alive.

"Okay, okay, sweetie, but your husband is about to hit me."

Xie Fengnan found it quite novel; the cub was staring at him with resentful little eyes, which was both funny and amusing, and he really wanted to tease it.

"No matter what, Brother Xie is the most important!"

After Xiaoxue finished speaking, Xie Fengnan felt that the cub was about to cry.

That pitiful look in her eyes, oh dear.

Have you named it yet?

Xie Fengnan beckoned to the cub, and it reluctantly came over.

Xie Fengnan's hand naturally stroked its mane, and he squinted his eyes, in a good mood.

"Shouldn't Brother Xie come to pick it up?"

Xiaoxue tilted her head and looked at Xie Fengnan.

"We are your pets."

"Cough cough cough cough—" Xie Fengnan couldn't control himself. Sure enough, it was too perverted to accept.

"...You can't say things like that anymore, do you hear me?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Xie says."

Although Xiaoxue was puzzled, she obediently agreed.

"Then, Brother Xie? How about a name?"

Xie Fengnan: "Actually, I'm terrible at naming things."

Xiaoxue: "It's not a big problem, it's just for convenience in addressing each other."

Xie Fengnan looked at the cub. When he named Xiaoxue before, it was because of the contract that he naturally had the right to name it.

But the cub is still a free agent, "How about we sign a contract?"

"Is it okay!?" Xiaoxue had been too embarrassed to bring it up, because a contract is not just a simple definition of a subordinate relationship.

Instead, they can obtain each other's abilities and characteristics through contracts, and also supply each other with energy.

Take evolution, for example.

Because of her contract with Xie Fengnan, Xiaoxue was influenced by his ice-type superpowers, and combined with her own attributes, she embarked on the evolutionary path of the Ice and Snow White Lion.

The cub, however, was not affected by external forces. Its bloodline was purified along the path of the Golden Flame Sacred Lion. If it had signed a contract with Xie Fengnan back then, it might have taken the path of the Ice Flame Demon Lion.

After all, Xie Fengnan's strength could affect Xiaoxue, let alone cubs of lower rank.

It's rare to see someone like Xie Fengnan who influences the evolution of battle beasts in reverse, because most people contract battle beasts of the same or higher level as themselves to gain their power.

Contracting with a beast of a lower rank and then having it evolve abilities that complement your own sounds pretty good.

However, the time and resources required for training are something many people are unwilling or unable to afford.

Furthermore, once a contract is formed, the need to balance the power gap between the master and the pet will slow down the advancement speed of the higher-ranked beast. As a result, more people are unwilling to contract battle beasts of lower rank than themselves.

To put it bluntly, the energy gained through cultivation is transferred from the higher party to the lower party through a contract, and this process will only stop when the gap between you is not too large. Who would want that?

When discussing energy transfer, the form of a contract must be mentioned.

In a master-servant contract, the energy is basically split 30/70; in an equal contract, it's split 50/50; and then there's the slave contract, which is a form of pure exploitation.

Xie Fengnan was the only one who didn't care about these things. He didn't lack resources, nor did he lack the combat power bonus brought by battle beasts, and he didn't care about the speed of advancement.

So Xie Fengnan was genuinely surprised and delighted that he agreed to sign Xiaoxue yesterday.

Since signing the contract, Xiaoxue has been able to sense the energy transmitted from Xie Fengnan through the contract. If it weren't for this energy, it wouldn't have been able to double its size overnight.

It felt increasingly that it had gotten a great deal, which is why it said that Xie Fengnan was the most important person. It even felt that the luckiest thing in its life was meeting Xie Fengnan!

Because he gave so much!
