Chapter 256 Fools Have Their Luck, Contracting a Monster

"Brother Eagle, please have mercy and let's make a deal. Fly lower before you eat me, my meat isn't actually that tasty."

Wen Chengbin felt the slow descent and saw the trees on both sides slowly moving backward. Although the eagle's speed had decreased, his heart was still taut.

Just as Wen Chengbin was racking his brains to plead for leniency, Cangying spoke again.

"Master, I am your mount. Where do you wish to go?"

Master? Mount?

Wen Chengbin: "......"

What is this all about? Is he hallucinating? Has the world gone mad, or has he gone mad, or has this big bird gone mad?

Wen Chengbin swallowed hard. Despite having a million questions in his mind, he boldly made his request: "Go back to where you came from."

"Okay, Master, hold on tight."

The eagle turned and flew rapidly toward the crevice.

However, after flying over a few mountain peaks, Wen Chengbin saw Wen Qilin and Wen Wen running around on the mountain below. He hurriedly instructed the eagle, "Hey, Brother Eagle, fly down and find that person down there."

"Alright." The eagle swooped down.

The father and daughter, who were searching for Wen Chengbin on the mountaintop, suddenly heard a sharp bird cry from the sky.

Wenwen looked up and saw a hawk swooping down from the distant mountaintop, with Wen Chengbin sitting on its back. The man was holding the bird's neck with one hand and waving vigorously at them with the other.

Although Wen Chengbin's shoulder injury was shocking, he was all smiles at the moment.

Were they terrified, or were they seeing things?

The father and daughter stared intently at the eagle before them, assumed fighting stances, and just as Wen Qilin was about to launch his attack, Wen Chengbin hurriedly called for a halt, "Uncle, sister, it has recognized me as its master, it is my mount."

Wen Qilin: "Second Brother, stop talking nonsense. This is a demon beast at the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Wenwen: "Second brother, come here first."

The father and daughter stared at him intently, not believing a word he said.

Wen Chengbin is usually a brash, loudmouth, and a real troublemaker. Sometimes he's so mischievous that he does things that are both funny and ridiculous, and other times he's so silly and stupid that you feel like he'd eat shit before it's even hot. In short, he's very unreliable, especially now with that silly look of him smiling and touching bird feathers.

"Uncle, sister, I'm telling the truth."

Wen Qilin, exasperated, cautiously asked, "Did you make a contract with it?"

"Huh? No." Wen Chengbin was dumbfounded. He suddenly raised his hand and dared not touch the bird feathers anymore.

Unexpectedly, the eagle spoke up, saying, "I have already made a contract with my master, a 'beast soul symbiosis' contract."

Wen Chengbin was puzzled, "Beast Soul Symbiosis? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

Listen to this idiot! He doesn't even know things himself, yet he believes everything others say. I really want to just beat him to death.

In the cultivation world, there are two ways for cultivators to form contracts with demonic beasts: one is a blood contract, and the other is a soul contract.

A blood pact, as the name suggests, is a contract between a master and a monster using magic, where the master's blood is used to engrave the master's name in the monster's mind. The monster then recognizes the master as its master and obeys the master's commands. If the master takes good care of the monster, the monster's abilities will gradually increase, and its appearance can also grow and change. The downside is that if someone forcibly erases the master's name from the monster's mind, the monster will find another master.

Soul Contract has a higher level of restriction than Blood Contract. It is a more secure form of contract than Blood Contract. This contract is for life and can never be broken. When the master dies, the monster dies as well.

The reason Wen Chengbin couldn't sense it was because he couldn't circulate his spiritual power at that moment.

Wen Qilin also noticed his condition, "Erlang, come here quickly."

The eagle crouched low and pleaded, "Master, go and heal your wounds first. I'll wait for you."

What the hell!

I'm waiting for you?!

That tone is truly indescribable...

Wenwen was internally screaming with rage. What had she just heard?

She just wanted to know if the big bird was male or female, otherwise how could she have sensed something was off?

Is it her who's abnormal, or her second brother, or perhaps this big bird?

It's too chaotic outside. She wants to go back to the valley; she wants to find her mother and grandmother...

Wen Chengbin strode toward Wen Qilin. A few steps away, Wen Qilin grabbed his troublesome nephew and pulled him aside. "Sit down and meditate. Your uncle will heal you. Wen'er, keep an eye on things."

The second half of the sentence means that Wenwen should be wary of this eagle and not let it take advantage of her healing to do something sneaky.

Wenwen stared at the eagle, the killing intent in her eyes never fading. However, after a few moments of eye contact, the eagle turned away from her and lowered its head, burying it deep in its feathers.

Wenwen...

This scene seemed familiar, leaving her speechless.

After a short while, Wen Chengbin's spiritual power was finally able to operate normally, but his cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining. He had not yet cultivated divine sense and could not verify his contract with the Azure Eagle through divine sense. He could only verify it through blood.

Wen Chengbin pierced his fingertip and decisively activated the blood test spell.

A beam of light surged from his hand, floating in the air. A moment later, the figure of a hawk gradually appeared within the light, along with a beautiful figure wielding a Twin King Vine, forcefully swinging it at the hawk...

The truth is now clear, no further words are needed.

Wen Chengbin never expected that his blow would be so powerful, not only saving his life but also inexplicably forming a contract with a demon beast. He was truly lucky; surviving a great calamity meant good fortune was sure to follow.

After learning the truth, the father and daughter were completely relieved.

Wen Qilin thought to himself, "My silly nephew is really something, fools have their own kind of luck."

Wenwen really didn't know what to say. She put away her aggressive stance, blinked, shook her hands and feet, and took a deep breath. It was really tiring to maintain this posture.

Under the watchful eyes of father and daughter, Wen Chengbin held the Double King Vine and kissed it, "Great! My life-saving stick, my lucky stick, truly worthy of the name Double King Vine, a royal flush... Hahaha..."

After kissing it, this guy laughed loudly as he ran towards the eagle.

"Brother Eagle, come here, let me see if you've hurt your head? Don't dodge, let me see if you've broken it... Ouch, there really is a bump... My bad, I was too rough... Let me rub it for you..."

Wen Chengbin actually grabbed the eagle's head and tried to pry it open. The big bird only resisted slightly before giving in. They seemed to get along well; these two were a perfect match.

Wenwen really wanted to say, "Second brother, I think you two have something wrong with your heads!"

Wen Qilin glanced at the person and bird interacting over there and had to interrupt, "Erlang, let's go."

After saying that, the father and daughter turned around and walked back without waiting for him.
