Chapter 2438: The Contradictory Totem Beast

Chapter 2438: The Contradictory Totem Beast


The hut was not as lively after the naughty little cub departed.


Little Moon Moth Phoenix was motionless on the ground. She was obviously a little unhappy after her friend had left.


Little Flame Belle was comforting Little Moon Moth Phoenix like a big sister.


"Why didn"t you figure out a way to convince Mu Ningxue to sign a Contract with the little cub? As a matter of fact, Mu Ningxue would benefit greatly if she took the little cub as her Contracted Beast. After all, her Innate Talent makes her body abnormal. If she doesn"t find a way to condition it..." Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ prodded him.


"I"ll try, but Mu Ningxue seriously didn"t like the little cub."


Once Mu Ningxue signed a Contract with the little cub, it would be a lot easier for the little cub to escape from Tianshan Mountain. The Contract Summoning would not teleport the little cub to Mu Ningxue right away, but the little cub"s mother would not worry too much if her child had a valid agreement. 


"Does that mean you agree with me?" Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked. "Are you willing to convince Mu Ningxue to sign a Contract with the little cub?" Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ asked in a strange voice.


Mo Fan did not understand what Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ meant, and he just nodded. However, he immediately smelled some conspiracy after he agreed.


"You can come out now!" Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ smiled.


A creature like a round white potato rolled out from the shadow. She had a cunning grin on her face, exposing her fangs.


Mo Fan was left speechless. The little cub was still here!


Mo Fan immediately looked at the Moon Moth Phoenix, who was pretending to be down just a moment ago. She quickly turned around, like she was ashamed of doing something wrong.


These guys were putting on an act to trick him!


"Well, her mother did come here from Tianshan Mountain. She was howling from a few thousand kilometers away, asking the little cub to come home with her, but the little cub did not want to go. She says her mother won"t force her to go back anymore if she forms a Contract with a human," Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ explained.


Mo Fan was lost for words.


Had the little cub already turned into a human? She had already learned how to deceive people by playing the emotional card! 


"Ling!~"


Little Flame Belle seemed very happy, and flew around the little cub in circles. They were having a great time, despite the incompatibility of their Elements.


Little Flame Belle soon flew back to Mo Fan and hovered in front of him like she was saying, "Daddy, if you don"t agree, I"ll leave home right now!" 


He sighed. "The little creature has bribed everyone," Mo Fan caved helplessly.


The little cub rolled her eyes. She looked both cunning and adorable. The mountain was indeed livelier when the little cub was around!


"By the way, if Ningxue signs a Contract with the little cub, it might help with her injury. The little cub eats more Tianshan Sacred Lotuses than we eat vegetables. Her powerful soul should be able to help Ningxue condition her body," Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ encouraged him.


The little cub nodded like she was beating garlic, telling them how impressive she was!


"Can"t you behave more like a Totem Beast? Do you know Baxia? He always regards his Guardian with disdain, but you are doing everything you can to offer yourself," Mo Fan said, pointing at the little cub. 


The little cub just lifted her head defiantly. 


If the little cub could heal Mu Ningxue"s soul, Mo Fan was more than willing to let her sign a Contract with the little cub. The Ice Crystal Bow was too damaging for her soul. The side effects would slowly become apparent as time went by.


Mo Fan did not want Mu Ningxue to die at a young age like her mother had!


Mo Fan decided to try his best to convince Mu Ningxue, even though she was not too fond of the little cub.


Mu Ningxue was not interested in little animals. She also mentioned she did not like the little cub. She would rather leave her Summoning Element empty than have a Contracted Beast she did not like.


The little cub was the Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain, with the lineage of one of the four Sacred Totem Beasts, but her situation was the worst. She had finally found a potential Guardian she was fond of, but the person did not want her! 


To think that a Totem Beast would be so desperate to offer herself to a human. Luckily, there were not many Totem Beasts left. Otherwise, she would be treated as a laughingstock by the others!

"Xuexue, I"m doing this because I"m worried about your well-being. If you don"t want her to annoy you, you can just leave her at Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+"s place. She enjoys staying there, too!" Mo Fan was sitting in front of Mu Ningxue.


The little cub was sitting beside him. She was parked upright with her little ears dangling to the sides, like she did not have any confidence.


She did not know why Mu Ningxue disliked her.


She had purposely washed her fur very clean in case Mu Ningxue was avoiding her because she was dirty. She wanted to make sure she was compatible with Mu Ningxue"s untouchable temperament.


Even though the little cub was from the Scar of Tianshan Mountain and had grown up eating Tianshan Sacred Lotuses, she had a feeling Mu Ningxue"s Aura resembled Tianshan Mountain more than her own. In comparison, the little cub felt like she had spent her days rolling in mud!


"Fine, but we"ll only sign a Contract," Mu Ningxue finally agreed. She sounded reluctant and unwilling. 


It sounded like she was saying, "I don"t mind having children, but you will have to take care of them!" 


Mu Ningxue still disliked the little cub. She had only considered this because Mo Fan was worried about her.


It was not like Mu Ningxue did not find the little cub adorable to look upon, but the thing was too naughty. Mu Ningxue did not like her personality. If Mo Fan had not been so exceptional, Mu Ningxue would rather have spent the rest of her life alone in peace.


Mu Ningxue was fond of the Moon Moth Phoenix, rather than the little cub.


As for Little Flame Belle… she did not prefer Mu Ningxue, and Mu Ningxue did not like Little Flame Belle overmuch. It had nothing to do with their personalities. They were just incompatible because of their opposing Elements.


"Fine, I"ll deal with her. You just need to sign the Contract," Mo Fan sighed.


I"ll take care of the naughty kid.


As a matter of fact, the little cub had always liked messing around with Mo Fan. She would show up whenever Mo Fan came back. They were just giving the little cub a valid ident.i.ty and reason to be outside the Sacred Mountain. Nothing else would change.


---


Mu Ningxue successfully signed a Contract with the little cub.


Mo Fan noticed an immediate improvement in her complexion. It turned out Yu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the little cub were not lying to him. The little cub"s soul could indeed heal Mu Ningxue! 


Mu Ningxue needed more rest, so Mo Fan left with the little cub. Ningxue looked relieved.


The little cub was normally fearless. She even dared lie to her mother, but she was like a well-behaved kid in front of Mu Ningxue.


She felt like she had lost her dignity as a Totem Beast, but she was happy now. She no longer had to go back to the boring Tianshan Mountain!
