giving them food was the first step of the communication strategy.
as long as the other party ate it, no matter what the purpose was, it would be a small gesture of goodwill, which would make the subsequent steps easier to carry out.
however, the next part of the contract was about to be formed. bai wushang needed to be alone and could not be distracted.
sobina chuckled and nodded.
then, he brought the poison dart frog and the black swamp crocodile out of the room, leaving him with a complete private space.
the three-eyed witch ape stood at the side of the room beside its master.
the third eye on his glabella opened, and he maintained the observation mode, keeping his guard up.
bai wushang’s eyes turned, and he confirmed that everything was in place.
he sat cross-legged in front of the pink caterpillar and placed it in his palm. he said seriously, ”
“little guy, i didn’t want to kill you …”
“are you willing to follow me? i’ll bring you to eat more delicious food in the future …”
the latter secretly opened its six eyes and squinted them into a line, watching the two-legged beast’s every move.
“eh? are you really not going to eat me?”
little bug was actually very scared, and his body kept trembling.
although it couldn’t understand the language, it could feel some kind of emotion coming from bai wushang.
it seemed like … he really didn’t intend to hurt it!
why?
am i not delicious?
this thought flashed through little bug’s mind.
“ji ji ji!”
hearing this voice, the pink caterpillar turned its head to look.
as expected, the silver-eyed demon king was here again.
“oh … i know, it’s the one that wants to eat me …”
little bug closed his eyes, ready to accept the judgment of fate.
a slap landed on its head.
“ji ji ji! (????)”
this palm didn’t cause any actual damage, it just hurt a little.
little bug opened his eyes again. his six eyes were blank and he was at a loss.
why did you hit me?
are you going to torture me before you die? this was too much of a bully …
“grumble!!” (you’re so stupid!)
milky way revealed a rare expression of disappointment.
it naturally trusted its master.
since it was determined to form a contract with little bug, it wanted to help.
at the moment, it was difficult to distinguish the seniority of bai wushang’s only two pets.
the little rabbit had come first, and it was his life pet.
ah zhou came later, but they spent more time together. he was also master’s strongest guardian.
in the beginning, bai wushang had even jokingly said that he wanted to train ” boss ape ” and ” little fangirl. ”
however, as the situation developed, the rabbit became more and more outrageous. other than his combat power, ah zhou was no match for him in other aspects, so the matter was left unsettled.
hence, milky way and ah zhou were temporarily of the same generation.
now that it was about to welcome its third member, its status was definitely the lowest.
little milky way felt that as a ” senior “, he had the responsibility to guide an unreliable ” junior ” and decided to teach it a good lesson.
although … half of it was because he wanted it to be fresh and fun.
however, it was undeniable that it had good intentions!
its thinking was simple.
the human language was more complicated. even if one had enough intelligence, it would take a long time to learn it.
however, the rabbit’s language should be simpler, right?
if you can’t even understand this, hmph, little bug, you’re finished!
he looked at the little guy as he mumbled and gestured with his little claws.
bai wushang was both amused and relieved.
unknowingly, the little rabbit had grown up.
they could be of use in all aspects.
he used to be a healer and a scout.
now he’s even an interpreter officer …
” grumble?! ” (do you understand?)
little yue tu clapped her paws and widened her eyes. she was a little mad.
i’ve already said it ten times, why is he still so silly!
“every time …”
little bug was really under a lot of pressure.
it had been living alone since it was young and had never communicated with other creatures.
however, its instinctive sense of danger made it rack its brain, trying its best to identify the great demon king’s emotional changes and body movements.
the language of beasts, especially yue tu’s, was indeed much simpler than that of humans.
in addition, they had higher intelligence and the uniqueness of extraordinary creatures.
after another ten minutes, when the little rabbit was about to get angry, the little bug finally understood part of the content.
“so … so you’re not trying to eat me!”
in just a moment, the pink caterpillar was excited. its entire body trembled, and it was overjoyed.
i can still live!
i can continue to eat delicious food! it was too awesome!
probably because it had eaten too much, it couldn’t even move its body, unable to express its excitement.
after a while, little bug calmed down a little, tilted his neck, and asked, ”
“but what does ‘contract’ mean?”
“grumble! ji gu!”
the little rabbit was clever and quick-witted, so it quickly understood and began to explain.
bai wushang laughed. milky way’s own understanding of contracts was only at the most basic level, yet he was teaching other beasts …
truly, one dared to teach and the other dared to learn!
” alright, ” he interrupted, ” it will understand when it signs the contract. there’s no need to force communication. ”
at that moment, he had done what he needed to do. the ancient everchanging insect had at least a little bit of knowledge of him.
the hostility that had come from their mutual hostility had been reduced to the lowest level.
what was left was to accompany them as they grew up and express their sincerity with practical actions.
” as long as you eat this little thing well, it might be quite easy to increase your favorability … ”
bai wushang suddenly thought of this.
immediately after, he stopped his chaotic thoughts and calmed his mood, reaching out his right hand.
” the second oath is concluded! ”
a brand new black soul seal floated out and entered the pink caterpillar’s body.
in an instant, a bright light bloomed.
as the soul power trickled, bai wushang noticed that perhaps because the object of the contract was a young body, the soul power extracted was less than one-tenth of the body, and it did not feel empty at all like when he contracted the monster ape.
“second …”
the little bug was a little panicked. the strangeness that came from his soul made him understand what kind of existence the so-called ‘contract’ was.
after silently struggling for a while, the pink caterpillar remembered its belief in being an insect. it no longer resisted and released its soul restraint.
and so, a new thread was born, connecting the man and the insect together.
” little guy, don’t worry. there will be magic stones and eggs. let’s work hard together in the future. ”
bai wushang’s eyes were warm, and he stretched out a finger to scratch little bug’s stomach.
” i don’t know what form you’ll evolve into in the future. i’ll give you a nickname for now and change it later. ”
” well … you’ll make a sound every time. to put it simply, xiao ci. ”
“second!?(???*)?”
after signing the contract, the master and the pet would master the most basic communication skills.
simple commands, vocabulary, and beast language, as long as they were heard, they could be converted into content that they could understand.
this was one of the powers that originated from the soul seal.
therefore, little bug had just arrived and was ignorant.
however, she also knew that she seemed to have something extra.
“name … what is that … can it be eaten?”
“xiao ci … xiao ci …”
