Chapter 177: Chapter 174 Soul Contract ... "Tell me what to do," Yan Xiaobao replied firmly. Yan Xiaobao was resolute. He agreed to do whatever the Phoenix required; however, despite his agreement, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy about this unknown entity. "He seems very happy," Yan Xiaobao thought to himself, sensing Lan Feng’s emotions surging through him. Although the Phoenix hadn’t said anything, these emotions were pleasant, causing Hui Yue some concern. "I did say we need a soul contract, but unfortunately, we can’t accomplish that right now," Lan Feng complained gently. The Phoenix clearly didn’t pay attention to Yan Xiaobao. "In order to form a soul contract, we need to gather at least the minimal required amount of Qi. But given that we’re currently trapped in an infant’s body, this will take some time to achieve," he explained straightforwardly. Hearing this sentiment brought a variety of emotions rising within Hui Yue. At first, he breathed a slight sigh of relief because he wanted to learn more about this so-called soul contract. He wasn’t entirely satisfied with the idea of willingly becoming someone’s servant, but the promise of reuniting with her solidified his determination. While he felt comforted at the prospect of not being a slave yet, he was also somewhat disappointed at the crude soul contract not being fulfilled—this being the first step toward reuniting with Li Fen. However, to form this type of soul contract, Yan Xiaobao must work hard and refine the required amount of Qi. "At what age do children usually begin cultivation?" Yan Xiaobao asked anxiously, wanting to know when he could sign this contract with Lan Feng. Sensing Lan Feng’s impatience but calm demeanor, Yan Xiaobao also calmed down. His initial worry and unease about the entire soul contract were only present because of her; now, he felt more at ease. Suddenly, he had a feeling that Lan Feng wouldn’t deceive him. Nonetheless, he was certain there were some hidden motives in his body, though he didn’t question them. Although Yan Xiaobao was now somewhat confident, the Phoenix wasn’t intending to deceive him; he became increasingly impatient with how long they had to wait. Neither of them was stupid—they both knew there was a long road ahead to reach their goals of reunion and revenge. Yan Xiaobao realized a new path lay before him. He would become a master, a hero among heroes! He couldn’t wait to take the first step into his new life as a cultivator! "If a child begins early cultivation, they typically start around the age of four. However, generally speaking, it’s more common to begin at six or seven years old," Lan Feng said with a mocking tone. Yan Xiaobao sunk back into despair upon hearing his response, believing the laughter was ridiculing his character and causing his anger to rise once again. His hostility toward the Phoenix hadn’t faded. "I have to wait four years to cultivate? What do you expect me to do in the meantime?" he demanded aggressively, interrogating the ignorant Phoenix. "He’s the one who said he would help me!" Yan Xiaobao thought to himself, wanting to see exactly how his supposed plan would help him. "It’s not that bad," Lan Feng replied to the angry Yan Xiaobao, his mocking tone still present in every word he uttered, showing little regard for Yan Xiaobao’s feelings. "I mean, you should think about it first." Lan Feng sighed pleasantly before continuing, "We’re currently nesting in a pair of enormous sparrows. Personally, I wouldn’t mind spending a few years here." This comment left Yan Xiaobao dumbstruck, suddenly wanting to explode at Lan Feng inside Hui Yue, but he couldn’t be sure if the Phoenix was being sarcastic. Unfortunately, they were both able to feel each other’s emotions, and the Phoenix projected a familiar sensation. Now, Yan Xiaobao believed this creature to be shameless. "She’s our mother!" Yan Xiaobao was overwhelmed by the emotions surging through him. Unfortunately, he tried to make Lan Feng abandon his inappropriate ideas, but it had little effect. "Oh, come on. Sleeping on something grand is everyone’s dream!" Lan Feng chuckled mischievously. Yan Xiaobao was powerless against the Phoenix, who seemed to enjoy both their current embrace and Yan Xiaobao’s distress. "You’re insane!" Yan Xiaobao muttered, giving up on the topic. He realized now that arguing with this self-righteous bird was impossible. It didn’t help that every time he tried to argue, a ridiculous sense of bliss washed over him. Clearly, their animosity was mutual at the moment. "It’s fine. I’m just a beast. Driven by my beastly desires, it’s natural for me," Lan Feng said proudly. Sharing a body meant that both souls could feel the body’s sensations, taste the flavors on its tongue, and see what the body saw. The only difference was that when Yan Xiaobao controlled the body, Lan Feng sat back, purely experiencing the sensations of the five senses. A thought suddenly struck Yan Xiaobao, and he furrowed his brow. Something about this so-called beast wasn’t being said. "I recall hearing your story before," he told Lan Feng. "I’m very certain you told me that the descendants of the four Divine Beasts are humans—not beasts like you." Yan Xiaobao was somewhat bewildered and slightly annoyed. He was sure Lan Feng was a descendant of the Vermilion Bird, but he was also certain Lan Feng had said his offspring were human. This meant he was either lying about being a beast, or he was lying about his heritage.
