After Changing Her Fate, the Vicious Female Villain and the Protagonist Got an HE! - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Spiritual Pet

In the dream realm, after Wen Shurong’s schemes were exposed following her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, she was imprisoned by Qin Niyun in an ice dungeon and was unaware if the Fire Spiritual Pearl had appeared in the outside world.

She carefully recalled her dream experience.

Senior Sister’s Dantian was destroyed, and she fell off a cliff, yet she broke through to the Soul Transformation stage in just three years.

The relevant scene shown to her by the Heavenly Mandate Jade Slip only displayed Qin Niyun entering an ancient mighty figure’s former residence and encountering a fortuitous opportunity. As for what exactly that opportunity was, she did not see.

Was there a possibility that this fortuitous opportunity was the Fire Spiritual Pearl?

Wen Shurong harbored no desire for this treasure. She simply wanted to break free from the outcome of the dream realm.

She had originally intended to stay away from Senior Sister, but currently in the secret realm, with the Qiansiyin providing a link, this wish was temporarily unattainable.

Therefore, what she had to do now was to be as kind as possible to Senior Sister. As long as she did nothing to harm Senior Sister, she would not end up with that tragic outcome in the future.

As for the Heavenly Mandate Jade Slip… she could only take one step at a time for now, as she couldn’t deal with that entity yet…

After Su Tianyue disclosed the information about the Fire Spiritual Pearl, she quickly left the area.

Wen Shurong continued to search for the Tianyan Lingguo with Qin Niyun.

Due to the dream realm, Wen Shurong knew the approximate location of the spiritual fruit. However, to avoid arousing Senior Sister’s suspicion, she did not state it directly but only walked towards the corresponding area as if unintentionally during the search.

The spiritual fruit was guarded by an early-third-rank Xueling Mao (Snow Spirit Cat). In the dream realm, she had killed the beast with a spell and successfully seized the Tianyan Lingguo.

Encountering the beast again now, she couldn’t bring herself to attack.

The Snow Spirit Cat was entirely white, with a pair of light brown eyes shaped like amber. Judging purely from its appearance, it was the type of animal she liked.

The personality of Wen Shurong in the dream realm was vastly different from her real-life self. Because of the words of the Heavenly Mandate Jade Slip, she did not want to repeat the events of the dream. Therefore, upon seeing the Snow Spirit Cat, she made a suggestion.

“Senior Sister, I want to try to tame this demon beast.”

Qin Niyun was somewhat surprised and gently reminded her: “Demon beasts in the secret realm are usually difficult to tame. It is at the same realm as you. If it is unwilling, forcibly taming it can easily lead to a backlash.”

Wen Shurong had naturally considered this point, so she replied carefully: “I’ll only try my best. If it doesn’t work, I won’t force it.”

“Very well, Junior Sister, please be careful.”

Saying this, Qin Niyun retreated two steps to the side, leaving Wen Shurong enough space to cast her spell.

Taming a demon beast required a Spiritual Beast Contract. As long as Wen Shurong could successfully place the contract onto the Snow Spirit Cat’s forehead, the matter would be a success.

To be safe, she first formed a hand seal, placed a layer of defense around herself, and then slowly approached.

The Snow Spirit Cat was highly vigilant against the uninvited guest entering its territory. Its white fur stood up, ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing this, Wen Shurong paused her steps and waved her sleeve, taking out a brown pill.

At the same time, the Snow Spirit Cat smelled a strong fragrance. Its small nose unconsciously twitched, and its bristling fur instantly smoothed down considerably.

This pill was the Silian Wan (Beast Feeding Pill), specifically refined in the cultivation world for raising spiritual beasts.

The pill in Wen Shurong’s hand was a high-grade one, which held great attraction for demon beasts below the fourth rank.

The Snow Spirit Cat’s vigilance towards her instantly dropped significantly.

She seized the opportunity, slowly walked forward, and handed the Silian Wan over using spiritual power through the air.

The Snow Spirit Cat wagged its tail, swallowed the pill in one gulp, and showed a look of enjoyment on its fluffy face.

A third-rank demon beast already possessed considerable intelligence. It could sense that the human girl in front of it harbored no hostility.

Hesitating for a moment, it raised its head and meowed twice at the girl in green.

Before the contract was formed, Wen Shurong naturally couldn’t understand the animal’s language. However, based on the Snow Spirit Cat’s behavior, she could make a rough judgment.

She took out another Silian Wan, bent down slightly, and beckoned to it.

The Snow Spirit Cat circled twice on the spot. Ultimately, it couldn’t resist the temptation of the pill and slowly approached with cat-like steps.

The delicacy was in its mouth again. It happily flicked its tail, affectionately rubbing its head against the girl’s fair palm.

Beside them, Qin Niyun watched this scene and quietly dispersed the spiritual power she had secretly gathered.

From the moment the Snow Spirit Cat approached, she had been prepared. If the beast showed any intention of suddenly attacking and hurting someone, she would strike immediately.

Fortunately, this situation did not occur.

Wen Shurong fed it two more Silian Wan. When the Snow Spirit Cat became even more affectionate towards her, she tried to form a Spiritual Beast Contract.

Wild demon beasts all recognized this contract. This was not learned after birth but innate.

Because of this, when the Snow Spirit Cat saw the contract in the air, it immediately realized that the human girl in front of it wanted to take it as a spiritual pet.

It was somewhat conflicted. Should it agree or not?

Those pills were truly delicious. If it followed the other party, it should be able to eat them often.

Unfortunately, there was no way to communicate with them directly. Otherwise, it could ask and confirm.

The Spiritual Beast Contract remained suspended in the air, not descending for a long time.

Wen Shurong was waiting for the Snow Spirit Cat to make a choice. If the other party was unwilling, she would withdraw the contract and only take the Tianyan Lingguo.

The Snow Spirit Cat’s two front paws kept scratching at the wild grass on the ground, looking very conflicted.

After a while, it seemed to have made a decision. It raised its head, meowed three times, then gathered strength in its four paws, leaped up, and voluntarily plunged into the Spiritual Beast Contract condensing in the air.

Before long, a soft voice sounded in Wen Shurong’s sea of consciousness, calling her Master.

She continued to feed it two more Silian Wan. A message of thanks immediately came through her sea of consciousness.

The contract was complete. From today on, the Snow Spirit Cat was her spiritual pet.

Spiritual pets all had names. After a period of thought, Wen Shurong named it Ruyi (As One Wishes).

She hoped that everything in the future would go according to her will, completely avoiding the predetermined destiny spoken of by the Heavenly Mandate Jade Slip.

With Ruyi recognizing its Master, Wen Shurong naturally obtained the Tianyan Lingguo smoothly. She didn’t forget that this fruit could not only suppress the cold poison but also be of great help to Qin Niyun’s cultivation.

Driven by the desire to foster a good relationship with her, she divided half of the twelve fruits she obtained and offered them to the girl in white beside her.

“Senior Sister Qin, you have a single fire spiritual root. Consuming the Tianyan Lingguo can enhance your cultivation.”

Looking at the light green spiritual fruits offered before her, Qin Niyun smiled. She extended her fair, slender right hand, grasped Wen Shurong’s wrist, and pushed the fruits back.

“There are many fire-attribute spiritual items beneficial to my cultivation, but those that can suppress cold poison are few and far between. Junior Sister does not need to share this Tianyan Lingguo with me.”

“This…”

“There are other spiritual items nearby. We can divide them equally after finding them. Junior Sister should not worry.”

“Alright, then I will listen to Senior Sister!”

Seeing Wen Shurong agree, Qin Niyun withdrew her right hand. The delicate sensation disappeared. She subconsciously rubbed her thumb and forefinger.

At this moment, Ruyi meowed twice.

Wen Shurong understood its meaning. After putting the Tianyan Lingguo into a special jade box, she half-squatted down towards it.

Ruyi wagged its tail, lightly leaped, and jumped into her arms.

Looking at this scene, Qin Niyun frowned slightly.

“Junior Sister, this Snow Spirit Cat is nearly three hundred years old. Judging by its lifespan, it is already an adult. If it advances to the fourth rank in the future, it can take on a human form. It seems inappropriate for you to be holding it like this.”

The moment her voice fell, the Snow Spirit Cat turned its fluffy head and bared its teeth at her.

Qin Niyun’s frown deepened. She was about to continue speaking when Wen Shurong spoke first: “Senior Sister, even if Ruyi takes on a human form, it will be a female. It doesn’t matter.”

Qin Niyun insisted: “How can it not matter? There are also same-sex Dao Companions in the cultivation world. Even if they are both female, they should not be overly intimate.”

This was the first time Wen Shurong had heard such words from this cold Senior Sister. She was stunned for a moment before hesitantly speaking: “But… Ruyi hasn’t taken a human form yet.”

Qin Niyun argued earnestly: “It has already cultivated to the third rank. Does it not even know how to walk, that you have to hold it?”

Wen Shurong looked down at Ruyi, which was constantly baring its teeth at Senior Sister. She stroked its fur. After a moment of hesitation, she finally chose to put it back on the ground.

“Meow! Meow!”

Ruyi meowed twice in dissatisfaction, but in the next instant, the fur all over its body stood up straight.

The innate intuition of a beast made it sense a crisis.

As for the source…

It turned its head to look at the girl in white beside it. Her face was clearly smiling, but it instinctively shivered.

Too terrifying, sob sob~

It shrank its neck, no longer being willful, and quietly followed beside its Master.

It wanted to complain to its Master, but it could sense that the girl in white had high martial prowess. Its Master was no match for her, and it wouldn’t help even with its addition.

Moreover…

It felt that even if it did complain, its Master might not believe it.

Also, its Master and this girl in white were fellow disciples and should be staying together often. Alas, life as a cat will be difficult in the future!

Seeing Ruyi with its head drooped, Wen Shurong took out another Silian Wan and fed it.

Sensing the fragrance on its nose, Ruyi instantly forgot its troubles, swallowing the pill into its belly in one gulp.

It had lived in the Ancient Origin Secret Realm since childhood and understood everything here very well. To get more delicious food, it volunteered to lead the way, guiding its Master to search for celestial treasures.

Wen Shurong and Qin Niyun walked side by side, following behind it, and had a fruitful journey.

Three days later, the Bishui Hantan (Jade Water Cold Pool) of the Ancient Origin Secret Realm.

Led by Ruyi, Wen Shurong and her Senior Sister left the Flaming Mountain and arrived here.

According to Ruyi, there was a strange treasure beneath the cold pool.

During every full moon night, an extremely dazzling blue light would emanate from the bottom of the pool.

Many demon beasts in the secret realm attempted to approach, but they were all blocked by an invisible barrier.

To this day, the exact nature of the strange treasure remained unknown.

Wen Shurong had not encountered this in the dream realm, nor had she heard others mention it. Therefore, she was genuinely surprised to receive this news.

Tonight was the full moon. After a discussion with her Senior Sister, they ultimately decided to come here to investigate.

The Bishui Hantan was vast, and its edges were invisible to the naked eye.

Wen Shurong herself was a dual wood and metal spiritual root, and her Senior Sister was a fire spiritual root. Neither had means to control water. Although they had Bishui Zhu (Water Avoiding Pearls) prepared in their storage pouches, the two did not rashly enter the water. Instead, they arrived at a parasol tree by the side of the pool and slowly waited for the strange phenomenon to appear.

At one minute past the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), a large patch of blue light gradually emanated from the bottom of the pool.

Before long, several rays of light began to appear in the distance, flying rapidly towards the Bishui Hantan from far to near…
