I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

"and……"

Leng Qingyue raised her head and stole a glance at Cao Kun, her cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed.

"And he's very good to me."

"He expended a great deal of energy to help me suppress the cold poison."

"Not only did he not complain, but he also signed a life-or-death agreement with Ye Fan for my sake."

"Rumeng, please don't blame him, okay?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

The wind blew across the square, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

Liu Rumeng remained frozen in place, still holding her sword, completely dumbfounded.

She stared at Leng Qingyue in disbelief.

Looking at this ice queen who grew up with him, who was usually aloof and arrogant, and who didn't even dare to glance at male disciples, he felt that she was being disrespectful.

At this moment, she was acting like a possessive wife, standing in front of a man.

Why would someone try to persuade their best friend of ten years for the sake of a man they've only known for a few days?

Liu Rumeng felt a surge of anger rush to her head.

My blood pressure shot up.

She turned her head and looked at Cao Kun.

Cao Kun stood beside Leng Qingyue, his hands behind his back.

His face still wore that gentle, warm smile.

But Liu Rumeng clearly saw mockery and smugness in his eyes.

That look seemed to be a silent provocation: "See? I wasn't wrong. You were the one who meddled."

"you……"

Liu Rumeng turned to look at Leng Qingyue, and stamped her foot in exasperation.

"Qingyue! Has he bewitched you?! He's completely ruined your brain!"

"He wasted his energy? He got the better deal!"

Leng Qingyue shook her head, her tone calm.

I don't care what others say.

All I know is that he can save my life.

"In this life, I belong to him in life and in death."

These words were spoken.

The system notification sounded in Cao Kun's mind again.

[Ding! Detected the jade beast "Leng Qingyue" publicly asserting its ownership, deepening the emotional bond!]

[Jade Beast "Leng Qingyue" Taming Value +5!]

Current taming level: 35

[Congratulations, host, you have earned 500 mission points!]

Cao Kun was overjoyed.

This little girl is really amazing.

Not only did it help block bullets, it also helped me gain some experience points.

Liu Rumeng was completely speechless.

She suddenly felt like a complete clown.

She originally wanted to test the man's true nature for her best friend.

I'm afraid she'll be deceived, both physically and emotionally.

The result was good.

The two were deeply in love and would stay together through thick and thin.

He came all this way to draw his sword, only to become the villain who tore apart the star-crossed lovers!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Liu Rumeng was so angry that she said "good" three times in a row.

"I was being nosy!"

"Qingyue, you're completely hopeless!"

"If you ever get sold out, don't come crying to me!"

After saying that, Liu Rumeng turned and left.

The fiery red figure walked very fast across the white jade square, clearly furious.

"Ru Meng! Let me explain!"

Seeing this, Leng Qingyue became anxious and wanted to chase after them.

Cao Kun gently grasped her wrist.

"Don't rush."

Cao Kun watched Liu Rumeng's departing figure and gave her a meaningful smile.

"Junior Sister Liu is just being overly concerned."

"I'll visit her in person in a couple of days when she's calmed down."

"Explain it to her properly."

Leng Qingyue leaned against Cao Kun's strong chest, feeling his powerful heartbeat, and her panicked heart gradually calmed down.

In this man's arms, she didn't need to think, she only needed to obey.

She nodded obediently.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Cao Kun patted Leng Qingyue on the back with satisfaction.

His gaze remained fixed on the direction where Liu Rumeng had disappeared.

A personal visit is essential.

After all, it would be a waste not to personally tame such a spirited horse.

Crimson Flame Spirit.

I wonder how it will feel compared to the Supreme Ice Spirit Body.

Cao Kun snapped out of his reverie and looked down at the gentle Leng Qingyue in his arms.

"Qingyue, you used up a lot of spiritual energy in the training ground just now."

"I feel very weak right now."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingyue trembled slightly.

She looked up, a hint of panic and shyness flashing in her watery eyes.

"Then... what should we do?"

Cao Kun scooped her up in his arms and strode towards the back of the mountain.

"What else can we do?"

"Of course we should hurry up and continue treatment."

"Hey...you! In broad daylight, put me down right now..."

Leng Qingyue buried her face in Cao Kun's chest in embarrassment, and struggled symbolically for a moment.

She immediately melted completely in Cao Kun's arms.

……

Three hours later.

It was late at night.

Inside the pavilion of the medicinal herb garden on the back mountain of Lianxiang Peak.

Leng Qingyue had already fallen into a deep sleep.

She curled up in bed.

The plain white dress had long since disappeared.

On her snow-white skin, a few faint red marks could be seen.

That aloof and ethereal face now had an alluring blush.

Her fair ankles were exposed outside the blanket.

The golden bell lay quietly against her skin, no longer making a sound.

She was so tired.

In order to treat his illness and to restore the energy that Cao Kun had expended during the day in the martial arts arena.

Leng Qingyue gritted her teeth and endured for three hours.

He fell into a deep sleep only after the cold poison in his body was suppressed by one-tenth again.

The edge of the bed.

Cao Kun, wearing a thin long robe, leaned casually against the bedpost.

He showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

The Fiery Sun Spiritual Root, combined with the Chaos Return to One Technique, was pushed to its limit during the dual cultivation just now.

The spiritual energy within his body had been completely transformed into chaotic energy.

His Foundation Establishment stage was also completely solidified.

Cao Kun reached out and tucked the blanket around Leng Qingyue.

Looking at the face that still held a hint of obedience and affection even in his sleep, Cao Kun smiled with satisfaction.

This girl is truly at their mercy now.

Cao Kun turned his gaze away, a thought flashing through his mind.

The system panel has been opened.

Name: Cao Kun

Age: 99/450

[Spiritual Root: Top-Grade Fiery Sun Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: Late Foundation Establishment]

[Number of Jade Beasts: 2/2]

[Task Points: 8700]

[Beastmaster Level: Novice Beastmaster (93/100)]

Cao Kun scanned the data on the panel line by line.

My gaze finally settled on the "Beastmaster Level" and "Number of Jade Beasts" columns.

93 experience points.

Only 7 points away from upgrading.

"7 points..."

Cao Kun stroked his chin, his eyes flickering.

The number of jade beasts is currently 2/2, which means it is fully loaded.

This means that he cannot bind any new targets until he upgrades to the next stage and unlocks a new Jade Beast slot.

How can this be allowed?

During the day, in the main hall square.

Liu Rumeng, dressed in fiery red outfit and with a temper so fiery that she dared to draw her sword and point it at him, was actually a top-grade jade beast officially certified by the system.

Crimson Flame Spirit.

That figure, that flamboyant wildness, that adorable exasperated look.

It was practically a wild horse tailor-made for him.

Cao Kun was determined not to let this easy opportunity slip away.

"I must max out these 7 experience points tomorrow."

Cao Kun secretly made his own calculations.

Jade Linglong's current taming value is 58 points.

This old hag is becoming increasingly resistant, and her usual tricks are no longer effective.

I forced her to say that embarrassing line today, and I barely managed to squeeze out 10 points.

If I want to squeeze more money out of her tomorrow, I'll probably have to use even stronger drugs.

As for Leng Qingyue...

The current taming value is 35 points.

This girl is completely obsessed with him now, and she even publicly asserts her ownership of him during the day.

It should be much easier to increase her stats than to get some points from Yu Linglong.

"Master and Junior Sister, I'll have to trouble you to take on even more responsibility tomorrow."

Cao Kun made the decision without any psychological burden.

Then.

His gaze moved downwards.

It landed on the Silver-level Mystery Gift Pack at the very bottom of the panel.

This is the reward for breaking the 50-point taming value barrier.

It's definitely not comparable to the Bronze Gift Pack.

Cao Kun suppressed his excited heartbeat and silently recited in his heart:

"System, activate the Silver Gift Pack."

[Ding! Opening a Silver-level Mystery Gift Pack...]
