The little dragon cat lowered its head, full of grievance. Its eyes revealed sadness, full of helplessness, but it didn't make a sound. He looked extremely pitiful, and even Lingyun, who was usually a little crazy, showed signs of love in his eyes.

Lifting up his arms, he hugged the little cat. The little cat didn't resist, and stared blankly at Lingyun with its black gem-like eyes.

"Little guy, don't be sad! Big brother will accompany you in the future! " Lingyun caressed the little dragon cat's fine fur and comforted gently.

"Meow ~"

The little dragon cat rolled its eyes and cried out. Its clear eyes looked at Lingyun, and its little head lightly nudged Lingyun's hand. Then, before Ling Yun could react, his petite body gently leaped onto Ling Yun's shoulder, extending his tongue and licking his face.

Lingyun could not help but let out a bitter laugh. Was this little guy going to use its saliva to wash his face?

He held the little dragon cat in his arms and wiped the viscous liquid off his face.

"Meow, meow ~"

Lightly patting the little cat on its head, the little cat looked at Lingyun with a wronged expression, not knowing why Lingyun would bring it down.

That pitiful look made Lingyun's heart soften. In the end, he did not say any words of reprimand, and even thought that he had committed some sort of crime.

"Kid, can you close your third eye?" Lingyun suddenly frowned and asked. The third eye between Xiaolong's eyebrows was too obvious. If he was recognized, it would be troublesome.

"Meow ~"

Xiao Long meowed lightly, and looked at Ling Yun in confusion, not knowing what Ling Yun was saying.

Ling Yun helplessly held his forehead. He had forgotten that this little fellow was just born, and its intelligence was similar to a human infant's, so it was completely unable to understand his words.

"Master, you can try communicating with it with your mind. After all, it is your contracted demon beast!" Zi Luo suddenly said.

Ling Yun's eyes lit up. Why did he not think of this! Laughing, he said, "Thank you! "Little girl!"

Within the Violet Ring, Ziluo's red lips curled up slightly. It was a beautiful curve and she felt some joy in her heart. Her beautiful eyes looked at the crouching Dragon Cat in Ling Yun's embrace, her eyes showing a trace of gentleness, a trace of nostalgia. "This little guy really looks like Xiao Xue!"

The Snowy she was talking about was also a Dragon Cat, her contracted demonic beast. However, during that battle, the Dragon Cat, Snowy, died to protect her master.

Although Lingyun knew how to inscribe beast souls, he did not have a contract with any demonic beasts in his previous life, so he did not know how to communicate with them.

In his previous life, he had directly used his spiritual energy to plant the beast king seal on the spirit body of the demon beast, directly enslaving it. However, the ones he enslaved were only some of the mid-grade bloodlines. They didn't have much of a future, and could only be used as transportation tools.

It wasn't that there weren't any demonic beasts that voluntarily became his contracted demonic beast, but rather that his requirements were too high. He didn't think much of the lower level ones. The higher level ones were all great clans of the demon race with powerful bloodlines. Their hearts were filled with pride, so how could they be willing to become the beast pet of others?

Even if it was a contract of equality, it wouldn't do. If they were forced to sign a contract, they wouldn't be able to fulfill anyone's wish even if they were to die.

Because the contract of equality was still dominated by the human race. A human died while a demon beast died. At most, a human would only suffer heavy damage from the backlash.

Also, those demon clan members held the bloodline of their clan in great importance. Whoever dared to enslave them wouldn't rest until they were dead.

Among them, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were the most powerful. Several thousand years ago, there was a human Martial Emperor who, relying on his own powerful strength, wanted to subdue a True Dragon as a mount.

That True Dragon was incomparably arrogant. Naturally, it was unwilling to. Even though that Martial Emperor threatened him, it was still unwilling.

That Martial Emperor became angry from embarrassment and forcefully signed an equal contract with a True Dragon. In the end, that True Dragon destroyed its own spiritual body and died.

Due to that, the Dragon Clan was enraged. They began to chase after and kill that Martial Emperor. Although that Martial Emperor was powerful, in the end, he still died a miserable death.

The other human experts chose to stand idly by, because once they intervened, a great battle between the two races might erupt. Under the threat of the demons' covetous eyes, how could they possibly fight amongst themselves?

Not only that, the human race had also apologized to the dragon clan, and had to pay them a lot of cultivation resources in order to quell their anger.

In his previous life, Ling Yun had a good relationship with the Dragon Clan's Patriarch and the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor had said that he would give Ling Yun a True Dragon as a contract demon beast, but Ling Yun had rejected it. This was because the True Dragon was only a newly born Three-Headed Fire Dragon. When it grew up, it could only become a Stage Six Demonic Saint and would not be of much help to him.

Furthermore, the dragon clan had a long lifespan and a heaven-defying bloodline. Every step to advance required an enormous amount of spirit energy. Just accumulating spirit energy alone would take a very long time, and it would take at least several hundred years before he could grow up.

Dragon Emperor could only shake his head and sigh. He had seen Lingyun's talent, and naturally wanted to befriend him, so that Lingyun would owe him a huge favor. However, he did not expect Lingyun to be so arrogant, and directly reject him.

He also said that unless it was a Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, he did not want it.

However, the Golden Dragon was the imperial clan of the Dragon Clan, moreover, it was the Bloodline Noble Rank Four Golden Dragon. Currently, the total number of Golden Dragons did not exceed ten.

As for the five-clawed golden dragon, that was already a legend. The dragon race hadn't had a dragon awaken its bloodline in thousands of years.

Thus, the Dragon Emperor rejected him without even thinking, and looked at Ling Yun like he was defending against a thief. From then on, when the latter went to the dragon clan, he immediately followed his or sent an elder to accompany his, afraid that Lingyun would trick some small golden dragon to be his pet.

At that time, it would be very difficult for him to do anything. He could only accept his fate and give the golden dragon to Lingyun. After all, Lingyun's status was extraordinary.

This caused Lingyun to feel extremely helpless. That was because he did indeed have those thoughts in his mind. However, the Dragon Emperor did not even give him the opportunity to attack, and had instead kept him on his guard. In the circle of elders of the Dragon clan, there was even a saying, "Prevention of theft, protection against Ling Yun!"

Lingyun's lips curled up. If that old loach, the Dragon Emperor, knew that he had made a contract with the Dragon Cat, what kind of expression would he have?

Everyone said that dragons and cats couldn't compare to dragons and dragons, but that wasn't entirely true. Dragons and cats couldn't compare to golden dragons and dragons and dragons. Other dragons and dragons simply couldn't compare to dragons and cats.

This was especially the case for the incomparably pure blood of this little dragon cat. As long as its strength increased in the future, its bloodline power would further awaken and it would be able to compete with the Four-clawed Golden Dragon.

Lingyun smiled and tried to communicate with the little dragon cat through the contract mark.

"Yiyayiya!"

Xiao Long's voice quickly sounded in Ling Yun's mind, full of joy.

"Kid, can you understand what I'm saying?" Ling Yun transmitted a thought.

"Yiyayiya! Master, I can understand!"

Xiao Long nodded his head vigorously. His black gem-like eyes lit up as he looked at Lingyun joyfully.

Lingyun's heart was filled with joy. Through the contract marks, he could understand Xiaolong Cat's meaning.

"Can you just close your third eye?" Ling Yun once again transmitted a thought.

"Yiyayiya!" "Yiyayiya!" Xiao Long looked at Ling Yun innocently, and caressed the Eye of Future between his brows with his little paws, asking with a puzzled expression. There was a trace of unwillingness in his tone, the Eye of the Future was the symbol of their Dragon and Cat races, how could it be closed so easily!

"Little guy!" Ling Yun muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "You are still weak, and your clan of Dragon and Cat has met with calamity, if your enemies knew that you are still alive, they would definitely kill you without a care. If you were to die, who will take revenge on your clan? The only thing you can do now is to hide and increase your strength. Otherwise, if your enemies find you, you won't even have the strength to fight back. "

A strong killing intent burst out from Xiao Long's eyes. His hair stood up, "Yiyayiya (Tell me, who is my enemy?)."

"Kid, you have to be calm. With your current strength, taking revenge is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. Do you want your parents to die in vain?" "You are the last bloodline of the Dragon Cat race. If you go and die, don't tell me that you want your parents to die with grievances?"

Xiao Long's murderous aura instantly dissipated, his small body was like a deflated balloon, weakly lying on Lingyun's thigh, his eyes full of dejection.

Looking at the little dragon cat's appearance, Lingyun sighed in his heart. He couldn't bear to see it, but he had to say that for the sake of its rapid growth, he had no choice but to provoke it.

"Little fellow, don't be discouraged! Although your enemies are strong, they are not impossible to deal with. Don't forget, you still have me with you! " Lingyun comforted her as gently as he could.

"En!" Xiao Long stood up once again. His three eyes revealed a resplendent light. A formless aura was slowly emitted from Xiao Long's petite body.

Seeing that the little dragon cat had regained its composure, Lingyun nodded his head in relief. This was what a real dragon cat was! He was his true companion!

Lightly stroking the little head of the little dragon cat, Lingyun's face revealed a faint smile, but his eyes revealed a bone-piercing cold light, and he looked towards the north. That was the location of the demons. Tens of thousands of years ago, that was the territory of the humans and demons, and the demons were just occupying the nest.

That place was also the burial ground of his best brother.

This was a vast and boundless continent. The world was filled with pure Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Countless humans and demons lived here and it seemed extremely peaceful. This continent was called the Heavenly Spirit Continent.

However, one day, a terrifying spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the Skysoul Institute. This black gas could pollute and erode pure spirit energy. Anyone who absorbed the spirit energy contaminated by this black gas would have a violent temperament, not recognizing any of their loved ones and slaughtering everything in their path. For a time, the peaceful continent was in chaos.

After a few decades, some of those who had absorbed the black qi were suppressed and some were directly killed. There was no lack of experts like the Martial Saint.

Just as half of the gods wanted to expel the black gas from the continent, many monsters covered in black gas gushed out of the space cracks. These monsters were like fish in water, slaughtering the natives of the continent as soon as they appeared.

These monsters called themselves demons. The black aura was called demonic aura, and under the command of four demon ancestors that were comparable to half-gods, they invaded the continent and tried to enslave the natives of the continent.

The warriors of the Heavenly Spirit Continent were naturally unwilling to be enslaved by the demons from outside this region. Under the command of over half of the gods, the demon and human races formed the Devil Slayer Alliance to resist the demons.
