Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

“The human being that can bond with the sacred beast must be the strong one that can embark on the journey for the strong.”

The mirage beast had an earnest look, it nudged the small mirage beast body and signalled for it to lower its body.

Although the small mirage beast wasn’t happy about it, it was still obedient to its mother’s command.

“I hope that Jue’er can become a high-level mirage beast.” It continued, “If Jue’er continues to follow me, it will never be able to achieve such growth, and....”

It paused for a moment, and a sad sentiment formed in the eyes: “And, it is not loved by the leopard clan.”

Ye Qing Luo recalled the beast tide earlier where the small mirage beast was trampled by a few high-level mirage beasts till abandonment, the way it watched those mirage beasts was also the same look that touched her heart.

“Human, I believe that you will take good care of my son and lead it to the peak of the strong.” Its eyes were filled sincerely with heartfelt sentiments.

Ye Qing Luo kept silent.

She was initially impacted by the small mirage beast’s look and was very interested in it.

But....

This small mirage beast was not entirely abandoned by the magic beasts, it still had its mother’s love.

If she had a bond with it, wouldn’t she be the cause of the separation of the mother and son?

Seeing how the mother beast was reluctant to let her son go....

“Human, are you willing to listen to a story?” The mirage beast sighed after seeing that Ye Qing Luo had not spoken for a long time.

Ye Qing Luo was startled and nodded her head.

The mirage beast climbed up from the ground, waved its tail and walked over to the corner of the cave.

Ye Qing Luo followed behind.

.....

Half an hour passed.

The conversation between the mother beast and Ye Qing Luo ended, with a solemn look on her face and staring at the small mirage beast for a long time: “I can bond with it if it is willing.”

The small mirage beast lifted its head and blinked its brown eyes.

“I swear, it will be my partner forever.” Ye Qing Luo’s eyes were filled with determination, “In my heart, its status will be the same as Qi Qi.”

“Oui Oui~” Qi Qi jumped onto Ye Qing Luo’s shoulders and rubbed against her cheeks, indicating that it was in favour of her decision.

Ye Qing Luo pursed her pink lips and broke into an affinity grin as she stretched her out to the small mirage beast: “If you like, you can follow me.”

“Be it humans or magic beast, there is a set of survival rules. If you want to protect your loved ones and yourself, you must have the strength.”

“The only way to obtain such strength is to keep fighting and constantly challenging in order to gain experience and grow.”

“Are you willing to grow with me?”

The small mirage beast listened very carefully to the words of Ye Qing Luo, its eyes sparkled in brilliance.

Ye Qing Luo’s words were a spot on about its thoughts in its heart.

But.... The small mirage beast knew that if it bonded with Ye Qing Luo, it would never get to see its mother ever again.

The little paw hesitated for a long while and couldn’t move forward to Ye Qing Luo.

“Go ahead child, she will train you until you become strong.... And that will be the time I see you again.” The mother beast choked with emotions, licked her son’s hair and instantly nudged him over with her head.

The small mirage beast gave a low roar a few times.

Slowly, it made its way toward Ye Qing Luo and stood in front of her.

Ye Qing Luo smiled, her feather fan brushed across the fingertips and a drip of blood fell onto the small mirage beast’s forehead.

A ray of light enveloped the both.

A diamond imprint appeared on the small mirage beast’s forehead.

The bond is activated.

“Human..... thank you!”

Seeing the diamond mark on its son’s forehead, the mother beast’s eyes flashed with tears.

The mark had expressed Ye Qing Luo’s intentions.

This was the lowest bond with the magic beast- peace bond.

The beast of the bond could choose to annul the bond with the consent of the master and would not be punished in any form.

The mother beast shut her eyes; her mind was finally at ease.

It was convinced that Jue’er had followed the right person and would grow beyond its expectations in time to come.
