Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 170

“I will be leaving soon after I put a few things here and give you guys some stuff.” Su Bai explained.

He first opened his backpack and took out the eggs of the Shadow Hunting Dragon, Purple Thunderbird, and Green Spirit Queen Ant, which he handed to his parents and younger brother respectively.

“These three pet eggs are for you. Dad, yours is the dark attribute Shadow Hunting Dragon. Mom, yours is the thunder-attribute Purple Thunderbird. As for Su Yue, yours is the Green Spirit Queen Ant.” He gestured to the eggs in their hands and explained. These eggs had been injected with some origin but were not saturated, so they would not reach a level similar to the cub.

“Dark attribute Shadow Hunting Dragon!”

“The Purple Thunderbird!”

His parents were shocked to see the pet eggs in their hands, and suddenly they felt a little shaky. These were very rare pet eggs which were often reported on TV.

In particular, the Shadow Hunting Dragon was an extremely fast dragon-type. It was a pet egg difficult to obtain in the market if one was without any connections.

“You can keep this egg for your own training. I just want to grow old with your mother peacefully, without going out to fight and taking risks. What need will I have for a Shadow Hunting Dragon?

“I'm very pleased that you gave me this egg. I'd have accepted it a few years ago, but now that I'm over forty years old and am old, I don't have the drive to risk myself outside anymore.” Father Su smiled in contentment but did not accept the pet egg given by his son.

“Yes, son, we really have no need for these eggs; it's not like we'll go out to fight. This Purple Thunderbird is worth tens of millions in the market; it would be a waste for the pet to follow me.” Mother Su rejected it as well.

“I already bought them for you; who said that you couldn't keep a good pet without taking risks? Also, it's useless even if you give them to me. I don't like these pet eggs; they don't meet my standards. You guys can't possibly give them to relatives, right?

“Hurry up and accept these eggs. With such powerful pets accompanying you, I can be rest assured of your safety.” Su Bai spread his hands and explained.

“You're really a spendthrift; couldn't you have kept the money to buy materials? If not, just marry a wife to manage your finances.” His mother chided him.

Naturally, it was impossible to give the pet eggs to their relatives, so they could only accept these.

Upon hearing this, he could not help but rub his nose sheepishly. If she knew that he had spent more than a billion in just a few days, she might even beat him out of anger.

“Big bro, I won't be so courteous with you. I like this Green Spirit Queen Ant very much, so I will accept it. Thank you.”

Su Yue held the pet egg in his hand and beamed.

“Yes, it's originally meant as a gift for you, so there's no need to be courteous with me. I still have a lot of spiritual plants; help me plant them later,” he said.

“Leave it all to me, big bro. If you don't have time, you can just leave the planting to me.” Su Yue smiled.

“I should have some time before I leave tomorrow morning. Here are three incubation manuals; take them.”

Su Bai handed them the incubation manuals. Because the pet eggs had not yet hatched, he could not write the cultivation manuals.

However, he estimated that his parents would not use these because the formulas were too expensive.

“Go ahead and talk first; we will keep our pet eggs. I'll cook for you later,” said Mother Su as she looked at them.

“Wait a minute. I have something else to say. I have about six hundred million spiritual plants that I don't need. Do you want me to help repay the family loan?” asked Su Bai.

All three were stunned upon hearing this.

His father picked his ears and asked again in disbelief, “Six hundred million? Did I hear you right?”

“Yes, I recently made a small fortune and found a treasure trove,” He nodded.

It took a long time for the three people to accept this fact.

“It's alright. The manor is already on the right track, so we should be able to pay off the loan soon. You don't need to worry about that; just keep your money and don't be a spendthrift.

“We'll ask you for help if we really can't afford it, but you can keep the money to yourself for now.” His father firmly shook his head.

“…Alright then.” He nodded helplessly. He would keep the money for his own use then.

His parents went to whip up a delicious meal while he stayed and chatted with Su Yue. They talked about trainer knowledge as well as his experience in the monster wilderness.

Soon, the meal was ready. Mother Su's cooking was of high standards, and Su Bai ate with gusto.

Halfway through dinner, Father Su's phone rang. After saying a few words, he looked up at his elder son in shock and asked, “The village head just called and said that you had killed a commander scorpion monster on the way back. Is it true?”

“Commander monster? Did he make a mistake?” asked Mother Su.

“Is that true, big brother?” Su Yue also asked curiously.

“Yes, I killed it on the way back. Jade has been a peak high-level warlord for a long time, it's only normal for her to break through.” He shrugged.

“Normal.” His parents were speechless.

This was called normal? What about those who were stuck for a year and a half?

They realized that their thoughts could no longer keep up with their son's strength.

“They asked you to give them instructions on how to deal with the corpse? Do you want it?” Father Su asked, dumbfounded.

“No, let them take it if you guys don't want it, either.” Su Bai shook his head.

“Then we definitely can't give it to them. We'll retrieve it in the afternoon; it's worth millions at any rate.” Mother Su instructed.

Naturally, her husband did not want the village people to take advantage of the situation, so he directly told them that their son wanted it and would retrieve it this afternoon.

After lunch, Su Bai took his younger brother to Azure Dragon Mound on a bike.

Since his parents did not want him to help repay the loan, he would directly sell the spiritual plants and conveniently exchange them for money. He called Zhou Ling'an of the White Beard Pawnshop, since she could provide convenient door-to-door service.

After the phone call, they started planting spiritual plants. The plants they planted were precious and rare, just like the spiritual seeds they included.

When they were about done, Zhou Ling'an called and said that she had arrived.

‘Su Bai directly sent a message to his parents and asked them to let her in.

“Your manor is so magnificent.” Zhou Ling'an commented once she reached the Azure Dragon Mound.

She was still wearing thin layers today, with only a set of sweatshirt and sweatpants, as if it were summer.

“It's alright. These are the things I want to sell; give me a price.”

Su Bai took her into the laboratory and pointed at the things he had sorted out for sale.

“So many spirit plants! Did you ransack some spiritual plant cultivation base?” She gaped at the scene in front of her.

Su Bai rolled his eyes. “Even a fool could tell that I obtained these from the wilderness. Hurry up and settle the amount.”

“Don't worry, since you trust me so much, I'll definitely not let you suffer.” Zhou Ling'an promised, patting her flat chest.

“Then do it slowly and come to me to settle the bill after you're done.”

He released the cub to keep an eye on her, then waved his hand, and went out to continue planting spiritual plants.

“Hey, there are so many. Can't you help?” shouted the girl.

“That's not my job.” He shrugged.

Zhou Ling'an gritted her teeth angrily. Couldn't he help on account of my beauty?

While supervising her, the cub showed a trace of disdain. Forget about it. Even though Chen Ruoxue is a goddess, it's still useless in front of him, so what more of a delusional flat-chested girl like this one?

Two hours later, Su Bai finally finished planting spiritual plants. Zhou Ling'an also finished counting the mess of materials.

“Everything's worth 530 million yuan,” she said.

“How about 550 million yuan?” he asked.

“That won't work, I won't make a dime if I give more than twenty million. I'd rather not collect these.”

“Then I won't send you off; I'll open the shield for you to leave.”

“You… Fine, 540 million. Take it or leave it,” Zhou Ling'an said. If it had not taken her two hours to count the materials, she really did not want to give face to him. This was mainly because she felt sorry for herself.

“No problem; transfer the money over,” Su Bai said.

“Wait for me to make a call.” Zhou Ling'an snorted coldly.

Soon, the money was transferred to his card. He nodded and said, “I've received it. You can take them and leave.”

He sent the girl away. Meanwhile, his younger brother returned to the White Tiger Mound after planting the spiritual plants, leaving him on Azure Dragon Mound.

Su Bai closed the door and poured himself a cup of mao jian tea. He then released his pets and took a book to read as he lay on the sofa.

Long familiar with the place, the pets quickly and very skillfully found their favorite corners in the room.

Only the Ice Phoenix practiced quacking like a hen for a few times, proving to the outside world that it was a hen.

It then hit Su Bai with an ice hockey shot. After seeing that it had no way of causing damage to him, it fully confirmed that this was the real Su Bai. It then searched all around the sofa for a place to sit, finally finding a well-connected place to escape and stay away from the other pets.

“Roar!” Are you kidding me? roared the dino in disdain.

“Quack, quack.” Elder Brother Tyrant, please don't start a row with me.

Without getting angry, the bird nodded at the dino, determined not to change its principles. It was an Ice Phoenix, which would live forever unlike the Little Tyrant.

The Little Tyrant ignored it and squatted to read a book on ores while chewing on one.

As for the dragon and the fox, they did not target the bird. Although it was very cautious, it had nothing to do with them.

“Quack.” Ah Bai, thank you for the skills today. Don't worry; I'll definitely protect you at the critical moment.

It nodded at him.

He waved his hand, indicating that it was all trivial matters.

Afterward, the phoenix cautiously studied the room to see where it could escape the fastest in case of an attack.

Soon, it was nighttime. Su Bai fed the pets dinner and went to bed after they all fell asleep.

At this time, having observed all the exits of the villa early in the morning, the phoenix flew out from the window of the small house where it was. It quietly came to a section of the river upstream of the reservoir.

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, it began practicing its skills and breathing aura.

…

Early the next morning, Su Bai opened his eyes and saw the cub sleeping sprawled on its back, having sneaked into his bed in the middle of the night.

Shaking his head, he got up to shower.

When he returned to the living room, his pets were still fast asleep. After waking them up for breakfast, he glanced and said, “Let's go; it's time to leave.”

Leaving the cub behind, he temporarily kept all the other pets into his contract book. He then rode Purple Jade, bid farewell to his parents, and set off for the Scarlet Wilderness.

What surprised him the most was he did not receive any ambush along the way and entered the wilderness rather smoothly.

It appeared that those people had given up on his pet dragon or had been pressured by his master into giving up. Either way, they had seemingly lost the nerve to cause trouble in Cannes.

This was a good thing for him, too. After entering the Scarlet Wilderness, he looked up at the blood moon hanging in the sky and raised his hand to release the dragon and the phoenix.

“Quack?” Are we back in a more dangerous world now?

As soon as the phoenix was released, it looked around vigilantly.

“This world is not as dangerous as you think. If you don't believe me, follow me and you will know,” he said.

The dragon wound around his wrist. He then rode the cub toward the bloody mudflat of the only emperor-level ruins in this Scarlet Wilderness.

Of course, he was not courting his death but accomplishing one thing.

Along the way, as long as it was a blood monster he encountered, he did not hesitate on letting the dragon convert it into its blood subordinate. Faced with these monsters, which were of much lower levels than it, the dragon's origin did not decrease by much.

“Roar!” Ah Bai, are we going to infect all the bloodline pets in this monster wilderness? asked the Blood Dragon curiously.

“Yes. If time permits it, we can do this. We shouldn't have enough time, but it doesn't matter.

“As long as we infect a few in each area, it won't take long for them to infect more monsters through mating and other methods. After a certain time, all blood monsters in the Scarlet Wilderness will be your blood subordinates.”

His goal was to have his pet dragon reach the monarch grade before the college entrance examination so that it could be his trump card.

Because he would officially be in contact with the internal forces of the Alliance when he was in college, he had to have a life-saving last resort.

It took five and a half days to infect numerous blood pets along the way, and finally, they reached the emperor-level relic of the Scarlet Mudflat.

The Scarlet Mudflat consisted of three parts: the Sea of Blood, the mudflat, and the island. The entire Sea of Blood was a vast inland ocean, but unlike ordinary oceans, it was light red and had no bottom. It was said to be hiding a terrifying sovereign monster.

The Sea of Blood was surrounded by scarlet mudflats. In the midst of the boundless Sea of Blood were many scattered islands, which were numerous despite not being big.

This place was said to be the center of the Scarlet Wilderness and also the gathering place for the strong. Existences above the commander grade gathered here even though there was a high chance of death.

“Quack.' This place is too dangerous. There's a horrible atmosphere everywhere.

The Ice Phoenix thought to itself that its mother was right; this world was too dangerous. God, it must disguise itself and be ready to escape at any time.

“Howl!” What are we doing here? asked the cub curiously.

“Follow me and you'll find out in a while.” Su Bai glanced at the endless Sea of Blood.
