Ah Chun got lost in thought for a moment when she heard the name Lunch. Meimei and Qing'er were confused as to why this rank nine demonic beast was calling Ah Chun master. "Young Miss, do you know this Lightning Wolf?" Meimei asked.
Ah Chun did not answer right away when suddenly she remembered back when she was still very little and had just met her Big Sister, Yu Yan in the forest near her home village. "Ah! Your from that time! Seems like you survived well these past nine hundred years. You even moved house. How is your friend Dinner?" Ah Chun asked.
The Lightning Wolf finally perked up when Ah Chun remembered who it was. But lowered its head at the mention of its mate Dinner. "Dinner did not make it. He tried to fight off a rank seven fire vulture who came to feast on our children while I was out hunting for food. Dinner was only rank six at the time. When I returned the fire vulture was just finishing off the last of our little ones and Dinner was dead on the ground. I was rank eight at the time and was more powerful than the fire vulture. I could only kill it to get revenge for Dinner and my children. This happened when we first came to this forest after migrating from where we first met Master."
Ah Chun frowned. She would not know what she would do if she had gone out to procure food only to come back to see her children had been eaten and her loved one dead on the ground. "I'm sorry to hear about your loss." Ah Chun paused as she got lost in thought. She wanted to do something for Lunch since Lunch had helped her in the past. After a few minutes of silence an idea came to mind. "Lunch how about entering a contract with me? You can follow me and in the future, you might even be able to break through to becoming a saint rank demonic beast. At least then you can take human form and start cultivating a human cultivation method. This would also speed up your cultivation as well."
Demonic Beasts who took on a human form were able to speed up their cultivation when they used human cultivation methods. But this could only be done in human form due to the alignment of their meridians. It was different for races such as the dragon race where they could use human cultivation methods from the start. Demonic beasts could only do so after reaching saint rank.
"If Master is willing to form a contract with Lunch. Then Lunch is more than willing. With the death of my loved ones I want nothing more than to be more powerful!" Lunch said determination flashing through her wolf eyes.
"Un! Good! As expected of a beast I am about to contract." Ah Chun smiled as she sliced her thumb with her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the spot between Lunch's brow. Lunch also made a small wound on her paw and dropped a drop of blood onto Ah Chun's brow. An archaic pattern formed under the two as a white light shot up into the sky. A stream of lights of archaic lettering came out of the pattern underfoot and wrapped around both Ah Chun and Lunch. It slowly covered both of their bodies before making its way to the spot between their brows and entering it.
The contract between Human and demonic beast was very easy to establish as long as both parties agree. The contract would be formed so that If the demonic beast dies no harm would come to its master. But if its master died they would both die. The demonic beast's life was fully dependant on its master survival. But this did not come without and benefits for the demonic beasts. The demonic beasts would be given a place inside their master's soul sea where they could rest and cultivate. If they ever sustained injuries they could rest in this space to heal their injuries at a faster pace.
After the light dimmed Ah Chun smiled. "From now on Lunch, you get to follow me. As your master, I will not make you regret your choice today. For now, go ahead and enter your space. I have to handle something in this cave for now. Just cultivate for now and try to reach saint rank as soon as possible."
"Yes, Master!" Lunch wagged her tail before turning into a stream of light and entering the space between Ah Chun's brow.
Ah Chun figured if Lunch could really reach saint rank and turn into a human form she would be a good help later on. That and she owed Lunch for the assistance that she gave at that time. Whether it was forced upon her or not.
Meimei and Qing'er looked at each other and smiled. They knew that their Young Miss was very good to those she considered friends. For a rank nine demonic beast to receive their Young Miss's help was a huge blessing to the demonic beast. Not only would its cultivation receive a boost but they would never have to worry about being mistreated by the Young Miss.
With everything settled Ah Chun looked at Meimei and Qing'er: "Are you ready? I am not sure if we can fly within the mystic realm we are about to enter. Last time I had to climb a huge chain which took a few days."
Meimei nodded her head saying: "Do not worry Young Miss wherever you go Meimei will follow."
"Un! Same goes for Qing'er, I will always follow the Young Miss." Qing'er replied.
"Are you following me or my tale?" Ah Chun asked teasingly as she wagged her tail back and forth. Both girls both instantly blushed.
"Of course it's the Young Miss! The tail is just a bonus!" Both Meimei and Qing'er shouted at the same time.
Ah Chun smiled and waved her hand. "Come on, let's go then!"
