"Hel..."
'Swoosh'
'Thud'
Before he could greet the three familiar spirit beasts, the small spirit beast among the three rushed towards him and jumped onto him.
Even though the spirit beast was small compared to the other two, it was still around one and a half meter in height and length. So, when it jumped onto him, he was unable to balance the sudden force and fell to the ground.
'Slurp'
The spirit beast didn't give any time before it started licking Ajax's face.
"Stop it, baby snow lion,"
Ajax asked the white lion on him to stop licking his face.
That's right! The three familiar spirit beasts were none other than the Snow Lion King, Snow Lion Queen and baby Snow Lion king that contained the Snow Lion Emperor.
After Ajax asked the baby snow lion to get off him, it stopped licking his face and went back to its parents.
"Hello"
After that, Ajax stood up from the ground and politely greeted them.
"Hello, Human,"
The snow lions also politely greeted back because Ajax was the one that saved their child. So, they were still grateful to them.
"He already reached rank 4. Looks like the bloodline is greatly helping him,"
After greeting, Ajax looked at the baby snow lion and said to them.
"Yes, the Snow Lion Emperor bloodline is greatly helping him. Moreover, it will help even more in the future,"
The Snow Lion King walked slowly towards Ajax while nodding his head agreeing with Ajax's words.
Behind him, the other two snow lions also walked towards Ajax.
"So, you found me because of the spirit imprint I placed in his spirit consciousness right?"
Ajax didn't know what to say to the snow lion family and he asked a question to which he already had an answer.
When saving the baby snow lion, he placed his spirit imprint in his spirit consciousness and officially made it his contracted spirit breasts; however, he didn't want to separate it from its parents. So, he didn't even try to take the baby snow lion along with him.
"Yes, human,"
The Snow Lion Queen, which was a rank 4 spirit beasts nodded her head and continued saying, "We didn't like it in the beginning; however, since you saved my child's life, we didn't mind it."
The first reaction to the Snow Lion Queen's words was a surprise.
Because the last time he met them, she was not capable of speech and within a couple of months, she learned the human speech which gave him a surprise.
As for her words, he could completely understand her feelings because who would let others take their child to become their contracted spirit beast?
"Moreover, because of that spirit imprint, we are able to locate you now a while ago; however, because of the demon army, we have to hide and we are unable to come out,"
Because for what reason they have to find him? This was the doubt in his head and waited for the Snow Lion King to continue.
"We want help from you, Human,"
Noticing the frown on Ajax's face, the Snow Lion King hesitated for a moment before asking for help.
"Please continue,"
Ajax didn't give his word before knowing what kind of help they want from him and asked the Snow Lion King to continue.
"I will come straight to the point,"
The Snow Lion King stopped hesitating and continued saying to Ajax, "A few days ago, my snow awakened one of the Snow Lion Emperor's ancestral memories. In that memory, he got lucky and found something called 'Re-cultivation' technique. At first, we thought nothing about it; however, after our child explained the secrets behind the spirit beasts evolution towards the humanoid form we were shocked."
"A recultivation technique? He is very lucky,"
Ajax knew how hard it was to get the recultivation and was surprised at the baby Snow Lion's luck.
"So, what do you want me for?"
After that, Ajax asked the Snow lion king about what their family wanted with him.
"According to our child, while transforming from a spirit beast into a humanoid, he needed to be in an absolutely peaceful place for at least three days and without our strength, we can not dominate other spirit beasts from coming to our place. So…,"
"So, you want me to send our child into my spirit consciousness and let him transform into a humanoid, right?"
Before the Snow lion king could even finish his sentence, Ajax interrupted and finished his lines.
After hearing the starting words of the Snow Lion King, Ajax understood the reason what they wanted from him.
It was a protection and a calm place for their child until it uses the recently gained recultivation technique to transform into a humanoid being.
��Yes,"
Both the father and mother Snow Lions replied at the same time making Ajax reveal a smile as he felt envious at the baby Snow Lion to have such loving parents.
"Sure. Since he already has my spirit imprint in his spirit consciousness, I can simply summon into my spirit consciousness,"
Ajax agreed to the Snow Lion's request because there was no harm in helping it.
"Thanks, human,"
Snow lion king and queen hurriedly thanked Ajax for accepting their request without asking anything in return and they felt greatly moved by Ajax's magnanimous heart to help their son.
"After the transformation, I will bring him back. Also, you don't have to worry. I will take good care of him,"
Ajax took a liking to the baby Snow Lion and promised it's parents about taking good care.
"We believe you, human. That is the reason we wanted to find you," The Snow Lion King replied to Ajax's promise before saying, "We will leave now. Child, be good and take your time in transforming into a humanoid being. You don't need to be hasty in order to return to us."
As soon as he finished his words, the Snow Lion King looked at the Snow Lion Queen, who was looking at her son with tears in her eyes.
'Growl'
With a growl from the Snow Lion King, the Snow Lion Queen stopped crying and soon after that, both of them left from that place at their fastest speed because if they stayed for another moment, they may not leave that place.
'Roar'
Seeing the silhouettes of his parents, the baby snow lion roared in their directions as though he was assuring his parents that he would try his best.
"After you transform into a humanoid being, then you can go back to your parents. Until then you are stuck with me,"
Ajax patted the head of the baby snow lion as he half-jokingly said to him.
"Roar"
The baby Snow Lion was a rank 4 spirit beast and he was just an inch away from learning human speech. So, he could understand what Ajax was saying and he immediately nodded his head as though he was agreeing to Ajax's word.
"Let's go,"
