Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 164 - ( ̄~ ̄;) Ah Bai's Deliberateness!

Chapter 164 - ( ̄~ ̄;) Ah Bai's Deliberateness!

"Okay. Now, we need to sort out the harvest. My harvest may be enough to let us partic.i.p.ate in the auction." After a bit, Su Bai took out his backpack and spoke with a smile.

Since only one person could come out of the Rainbow Gate, he had gathered the others' backpacks as much as possible.

"Wait. I want to tell you something," Chen Ruoxue said, holding his hand.

"What's the matter?" He looked up at her.

She held his face in her hand. "Erm, do you hate Senior Wei Ya very much?"

"No, I don't hate her at all." Su Bai shook his head.

"Actually, she's very kind. Did you see those cute girls in the green bamboo residence? Many of them are orphans, but she brought them back and raised them herself so that they can live independently once they return to human society.

"The reason why she's like that is she's been hurt by her love. She fell into a vicious circle and couldn't get out. Although it's very bad of her to test other couples without permission, she would give rewards as long as they truly love each other. I believe that this incident should allow her to get out of the vicious cycle." Chen Ruoxue hugged Su Bai's arm and said.

He looked at her and asked, "Do you want to wors.h.i.+p her as your master?"

"Yes, Senior Wei Ya is actually quite pitiful, I want to help her. Of course, that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I want to become stronger. I don't want to be just a pretty face like in the Sleeping Dragon Abyss last time. I felt so useless then and could only watch you solve the problems, unable to do anything. It felt very uncomfortable. Can you understand it?" She looked at him as she spoke softly.

"Of course, I can understand. If you want to help her, I won't stop you." Su Bai thought for a while and nodded.

He understood that Chen Ruoxue had always been a very strong girl and would never be just a pretty face. What she wanted was to fight side by side with him.

If she stayed with him all the time, she would only become just a pretty face in the end, but that was definitely not what she wanted. What she wanted was to climb the peak with him instead of being led by him to the peak.

Also, he understood that, even though they loved each other deeply, they should not stick together every day. Sometimes, distance could strengthen the love.

"Thank you." Chen Ruoxue hugged him tightly.

She was so happy that he understood her.

"Since you want to become her apprentice, I will take you there now." He hugged his girlfriend. Although he was reluctant to part with her, it was still for the better.

"Okay." Chen Ruoxue nodded. It was not easy for her to make this decision, for she did not want to leave Su Bai, either.

"Howl! ー( ̄~ ̄)ξ" Human beings are so weird. They just said that they won't ever go back to the green bamboo residence.

The cub glanced at its owner in dissatisfaction.

Su Bai: "…"

Soon after arriving at the green bamboo residence, he knocked on the door gently. One of the little girls opened the door and revealed a hint of joy upon seeing the cub.

"What's the matter?" she asked crisply.

"We're here to find Senior Wei Ya." Chen Ruoxue touched her head and smiled.

"Okay, come in with me. Sister Wei Ya has been sitting in the room for a long time." The little girl nodded and told them.

Walking into the main hall, Su Bai saw the woman still sitting in the original position, with seven or eight empty wine bottles on the table, as well as a half-emptied wine bottle in her hand.

Seeing the two of them, she took another sip of wine and then threw it away irritably. Why was she still not drunk? "Are you here to stay? The green bamboo residence is very large. You can choose to stay in any other place, except for the house I live in and the neighboring small building."

"No, Ruoxue came here to pay her respects to you as a master, but we should wait until you are sober before coming back."

"I'm sober." She waved her hand and turned to look at him. "You are letting her wors.h.i.+p me as a master? Are you not afraid that I will ruin her?"

"I have nothing to disagree with. You are not a bad person, and I respect her decision…"

He spread his hands.

"Then hurry up and pay respects to me. I've decided to accept you as my last disciple." Wei Ya touched Chen Ruoxue's small face.

Nodding, the latter walked over to pay apprentices.h.i.+p to the former. "Master, please accept Ruoxue as your disciple!"

Wei Ya glanced at the girl and walked over to help her up. "Get up. You will be my only disciple from here on."

"Yes, master."

Chen Ruoxue smiled at the older woman.

"Ruoxue, take good care of Senior Wei Ya; I will go out now."

Su Bai stopped disturbing them and turned around to leave.

At the door, the little girl carefully touched the cub's tail. When she saw him suddenly come out, she jumped, then lowered her head, and said embarra.s.sedly, "Sorry, I just found it cute and wanted to touch it. I didn't do anything bad to it."

"It's okay. I didn't blame you." He shook his head. "Can you take me to find a larger, unoccupied place?"

"Yes, Sister Wei Ya said that you can choose whatever place you want. I will take you to choose one. I know a very gorgeous and large house that you can stay in," said the little girl crisply.

"Okay, thank you." He smiled and nodded.

Soon, the little girl took him to a two-story diamond villa.

"This is a house carved from a large piece of crystal. How is it? Does it look good?" asked the little girl.

Su Bai nodded. Big shots were too headstrong, but he did not dare to live here, afraid that the dino could not help but chew the house.

In the end, he chose an ordinary wooden house made of golden Chinese cedar.

After entering the house, he released the pets, which looked around the new environment curiously.

"Don't walk around; come and help organize things." Su Bai looked at them.

"Roar!" Can I eat this backpack?

The Little Tyrant glanced at Su Bai.

"No, you can't eat the backpack, but there may be a lot of ores in it." He spread his hands and looked at his pet.

"Roar!" What can I help you with? I'm the best at lending a helping hand!

The dino patted its chest and walked over to help.

The cub, the dragon, and the fox were not as dramatic as he was and came over quietly to help.

The first thing to do was to count how many backpacks there were.

After clearing out all the backpacks, Su Bai was shocked that there were as many as 420.

Of course, this quant.i.ty and the number of people were not equal, but this was also normal, since not everyone had a s.p.a.ce backpack.

Moreover, some people might not even carry the backpacks when gathering the battle gains, while others might even be transported away without a chance to gather the battle gains.

"Okay. Let's start to sort the contents of the backpacks. Put them here according to their attributes."

After he finished speaking, he began organizing his backpack.

The pets also began picking up backpacks to organize. After a while, the treasures could no longer be placed in his backpack. He found another backpack and began packing them according to their types.

Most of them were servant or warlord items which were not particularly valuable.

Because the people who went into the Thorns Forest were not strong, they naturally did not have any treasures.

Gradually, Su Bai realized something was wrong. Why were there fewer and fewer treasures of the fire, earth, and wood attributes?

"Jade, Tyrant, move your b.u.t.ts away now." He glared at them.

"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)" Ah Bai, what are you doing? Don't interrupt my work, okay?

The cub groaned in dissatisfaction. It could not possibly move its b.u.t.t.

"Roar!" I've been working so seriously here; how could you interrupt me? Wouldn't your conscience hurt?"

The dino did not want to move its b.u.t.t, either. Anyway, its elder sister had taken the lead to steal those things.

"Yes, my conscience hurts very much."

Su Bai sneered sarcastically and walked over to pick up the backpack behind the dino. He then walked over to the cub and picked up the other backpack hidden behind it.

"This is the result of your serious work? I'm so touched." He looked at the two and emptied the backpacks. Treasures piled up like small hills at once.

The Little Tyrant lowered its head in embarra.s.sment. It put its small claw behind its back and cried softly. Working is so tiring; we should at least be given small rewards.

"Howl! ( ̄~ ̄;)" These are all mine, stupid Ah Bai! You promised to reward me; if you are going to sell them today, then sell me along! Anyway, you don't love us. All your thoughts are on your Ruoxue. If I knew, I wouldn't give you flowers to make your confession successful!

The cub rushed over to hold its treasures. It was like a big tabby cat protecting its dried fish as it glared at him with a very fierce look.

Su Bai: "…" Buddy, you even know how to use moral arguments now? You really deserve to be my good pet.

"Did I ever say that I wouldn't leave some for you?" He glanced sideways at the cub. "Many of these you took aren't suitable for your use. They'll make you weaker instead of stronger.

"Although they can satiate your mouth and tongue for a while, it will be extremely difficult to advance afterward because of them. If you don't believe what I said, then you can try eating some; I won't stop you."

Once he finished speaking, he resumed organizing the stuff.

"Roar!" Alright, alright. I won't hide it anymore. Ah Bai, choose some for me to become stronger.

The dino roared in annoyance, then took out a backpack from under its b.u.t.tocks, and threw it in front of Su Bai.

"Howl! ಠ╭╮ಠ" I'll give it to you; I'll give everything to you! Stupid Ah Bai, you might as well starve us to death!

The cub threw two backpacks out of its s.p.a.ce pendant and looked at him irritably.

They realized that they did not even have the confidence to eat things if they left Su Bai's side. This must be a conspiracy that he had carried out against them since they were young.

Su Bai was shocked upon seeing the two backpacks which were thrown out by the two pets. It turned out that the ones he found were deliberately exposed by the two. When did his pets become so smart?

At this time, the dragon and the fox both lowered their heads and quietly placed a backpack each in front of him.

"I… You two have also learned the bad ways; it makes me sad." Su Bai looked at the fox and the dragon. He had always treated them as good babies.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Both pets quickly apologized.

He shook his head helplessly and looked at the group of naughty pets. "Continue sorting out the stuff; I will select things suitable for you to eat as snacks."

"Roar!" Don't worry, Ah Bai. I will work hard this time and will definitely not sneak stuff away this time.

The dino roared rea.s.suringly as it patted its chest.

The four pets no longer held ulterior motives and started working earnestly, letting the cla.s.sification work progress smoothly.

While guiding them, Su Bai helped pick out suitable items for them to eat. He also selected some special spiritual plants and treasures for separate storage.

Even with the help of his pets, he spent two or three hours organizing items.

Still, he felt very happy. According to his estimation, the combined value of these things should be between 1 and 1.5 billion.

That should be enough money to partic.i.p.ate in the auction a few days later.

However, it was a pity that, although there were many good rare spiritual plants here, very few were helpful for the cub's promotion.

The main reason was that most were at warlord grade and only few were at commander grade. Hence, a majority of the items were useless.

The pets were not worried about that, though, and were more than happy with the snacks chosen by him.

Heaving a deep sigh, he took out the Ice Phoenix and Ice Dragon eggs. Although the dragon egg now belonged to Chen Ruoxue, it was still with him for the time being.

Both eggs were fifty centimeters high and looked like ice crystals with dragon and phoenix carvings.

Su Bai examined the two eggs. As the inheritance pets of a clan, their origins were almost full. However, because he had chosen the Ice Phoenix egg, its origin was more abundant than the Ice Dragon egg; its breath was also more powerful.

The sixteen ice crystals were ice treasures called Snow Ice Crystals. They could be used as food for hatched pets and to make incubation fluid.

Su Bai took out a piece of Snow Ice Crystal and rolled out its attribute light b.a.l.l.s, fusing them into the Ice Phoenix egg. Since its origin was already full, it took only two ice crystals to make the origin completely saturated.

After that, he added the origin of the Ice Dragon egg. Because it lacked a lot of origin, it took five ice crystals to make the egg reach a full state.

With this done, he found two incubators and carefully placed the eggs inside.

He put the eggs on the table and then took out a paper and pen to begin writing the incubation manual as well as the approximate cultivation for the two pets.

Knock knock!

He was halfway done when there was a knock at the door. Without looking up, he directly said, "The door is unlocked; come in by yourself."

The door opened and Chen Ruoxue came in with her master. She glanced at the treasures piled up in the house and walked to her boyfriend, smiling. "Are you writing the incubation manual?"

"Yes, I just finished sorting out these battle gains, and now I'm writing the incubation manual as well as the general direction of cultivation for the Ice Dragon egg." Su Bai nodded.

"All these things should gather enough money for the auction, shouldn't they?" Chen Ruoxue glanced at the tower of things and asked.

"They should be enough. If you want to sell them, I can handle it for you first," Wei Ya looked around and spoke.

"Thank you very much, then." Su Bai thanked the woman and then looked at his girlfriend. "When are you guys leaving? Are you leaving now?"

"No, I will still be here before New Year's Day. After that, I must go out to practice with my master. I don't know how long I will be gone for, but it won't be too long. After all, I still have to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion and take the college entrance examination." Chen Ruoxue shook her head.

"I see. That's good; we still have ten days left. We can use the time to hatch these two eggs. Once they are hatched, I can write the corresponding breeding manual for you." Su Bai smiled and nodded.
