Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

At this moment, Jiang Huan grabbed the Fire Spirit Stone and leaped to create distance between himself and the little fire fox.

The little fox squeaked angrily, "You lied to me! You dare lie to me, Master Little Fox! You're finished!"

"Really? Then come and catch me!" Jiang Huan smiled and turned to leave the cave.

The little fox chased after it, and of course, it didn't forget to attack.

But to Jiang Huan, this attack was like a spectacular iron flower performance—exciting and beautiful, but posing no danger to her whatsoever.

At this moment, the old man was still pacing anxiously back and forth outside.

Hearing a loud bang, he quickly looked up and saw Jiang Huan running out of the cave, with several fireballs still hurtling towards her from behind.

"be careful!"

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Huan quickly turned to the side.

The fireball flew towards the old man.

The old man frowned, but with a light step, he dodged away in an instant.

"receive!"

A sharp burst of spiritual energy swept past Jiang Huan and directly caught sight of the little fire fox behind her.

"squeak!"

The little fox was bewildered and hadn't figured out what was happening before it was already bound.

"Release me! Humans, you have audacity!"

"Miss Jiang Huan, are you alright?" the old man asked worriedly.

"It's nothing." Jiang Huan shook her head, then looked up at the old man's back, where Yue Wuyang and Duanmu Xiyin were looking very nervous.

However, since the old woman was here, and she couldn't see her master and aunt, it was inconvenient for her to say more than a few words to them. She could only signal with her eyes.

"Sir, I'd like to be alone here for a while, could you..."

Jiang Huan did not continue speaking after that.

However, the old man immediately understood. He looked at the little fire fox that was bound by spiritual power and nodded: "I'll go back to the house. If Miss Jiang Huan needs anything from me, just come find me."

"Thank you."

After the old man left, Jiang Huan was about to finish speaking when she noticed her master raising his hand and using spiritual power to create a barrier.

"Speak freely, no one outside the barrier can hear our conversation."

"Okay!" Jiang Huan replied to Yue Wuyang, "Master, have you finished catching up with your aunt?"

Yue Wuyang shook her head, and as she walked past Jiang Huan, she said, "I noticed some commotion here and was worried that you might be in danger, so I rushed over."

Just as she finished speaking, Yue Wuyang stopped right in front of the little fire fox and looked it over.

"I'm fine," Jiang Huan replied. "I was just fighting with this little thing, and I touched one of its fire spirit stones."

After saying that, she took out the Fire Spirit Stone.

Yue Wuyang glanced at it and said, "This is suitable for your cultivation. You should keep it."

"That belongs to me!" The little fire fox was furious, baring its teeth and claws, but it was bound and could only rage helplessly.

Seeing this, Yue Wuyang raised his hand and struck: "How dare a little fire fox, who has only been born for a short time, act wildly in front of me?"

"Ouch!"

The little fox was tapped on the head, and it grimaced in pain, but it couldn't fight back and could only hold its head and look aggrieved.

"Master, is this really a fox?" Jiang Huan walked over.

“Yes, you were born of nature,” Yue Wuyang said, then glanced at the cave before looking at the little fire fox: “If you acknowledge my disciple as your master, I will release you, how about it?”

Upon hearing this, the little fox, both angry and timid, said, "I...I won't! I absolutely will not become a slave to humans! Humans are the worst liars! She just lied to me!"

"..." Jiang Huan's lips twitched, thinking that this little thing really held a grudge and couldn't stand being joked with. "Forget it, Master, if it doesn't want to, then forget it. It's not convenient to carry it around anyway, and it's ugly."

The little fox's eyes widened: Who's ugly? It's ugly? It's so beautiful! How dare you say it's ugly?

"Are you sure?" Yue Wuyang asked. "If you form a contract with it, your cultivation will advance further. Its aura can give you some spiritual energy, and if you get close to it, it will also help your fire attribute cultivation."

"If it doesn't want to, then forget it." Jiang Huan waved his hand, took out the fire spirit stone and placed it on the ground. "Here's your thing back."

She's not the kind of person who likes to force things.

Things that are forced or forced are meaningless.

Of course, a forced melon won't be sweet. Although it can quench thirst, she's not thirsty right now!

Seeing this, Yue Wuyang nodded, flicked his sleeve, and withdrew the spiritual power from the little fire fox.

The little fox was still reeling from the shock that Jiang Huan hadn't forced it to become a slave. It fell straight down, landing on its back, and tears welled up in its eyes from the pain.

"Very good, you're not greedy." Yue Wuyang smiled with satisfaction. "Since we're not going to form a contract, let's go!"

“Hmm.” Jiang Huan nodded. “We’ve been out for so long, we need to hurry back, otherwise I’m afraid Butler Wang won’t be able to keep us in line.”

Just as the three of them were about to leave, the little fire fox, clutching the fire spirit stone, stared longingly at their retreating figures. After confirming that they truly didn't think much of it, it pouted, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back into the cave.

After Jiang Huan went down the mountain, she went to see the old man and told him that the cave incident was just a strange encounter, and she didn't take anything else.

The old man felt regretful about this, but didn't say anything.

However, as soon as Jiang Huan arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw a small, fiery red figure appear in the middle of the road.

"..."

What's this little guy doing? She's already returned the spirit stones to it, what else does it want?

Upon getting closer, she noticed that the little guy was carrying a small bundle on his back.

This scene left Jiang Huan and Yue Wuyang looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What?" Jiang Huan looked at the little fire fox, puzzled.

The little fox turned its head to look at Jiang Huan, then, following the movement of her clothes, it jumped onto her shoulder in a few quick leaps, stylishly flicked its fur, licked its paws, and then slapped them against her forehead.

Before Jiang Huan could react, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her forehead, followed by a vortex-like object appearing in her mind, which gradually expanded into a space.

"This is……"

"The Beast Pet Space," Yue Wuyang explained, "only appears after you contract a spirit beast. This guy actively contracted with you, so it will be even more helpful to your cultivation in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Huan was surprised and delighted, turning to look at the little fire fox perched on her shoulder, "Why? Didn't you say you didn't want to?"

The little fire fox retracted its paw and said haughtily, "Only I, the great fire fox, can refuse; no one else can."

Hearing this, Jiang Huan was speechless.

This little guy is actually a... masochist!

"Here, this is all I have. It's yours." With that, the little fire fox tossed its small bundle to Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan wondered what was in the tiny bundle, no bigger than the palm of her hand, but it turned out to be incredibly heavy. She had to use her spiritual power to lift it up before putting it into her storage ring.

Upon inspection, they discovered that the small bundle contained thousands upon thousands of fire spirit stones, and even a bottle filled with magma.

"You didn't suck all the lava into the bottle, did you?"

"That's my bathwater, my favorite!" said the little fire fox.

"..." Jiang Huan was embarrassed.

Good, good, good bath water!

As she approached the motorcycle and was about to start driving, she received a call from Butler Wang.
