Chapter 96: Little Black Dog! Silver Crescent! Only Three Hundred Years!
At that moment, the students all around them began chattering among themselves.
Luo Qingya also looked at the earth drake and cut her fingertip, preparing to form a contract with it.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
Yet just then, a bark rang out from not far away and drew Luo Qingya’s attention.
She instinctively turned to look, only to see that inside a small cage off to one side, a little black dog was sticking out its tongue and looking at her with an excited expression.
The moment she saw the black dog, Luo Qingya froze.
“Wait, why is there a black dog here too?”
“Damn, it really is a black dog. It looks like an ordinary dog!”
“There’s no way it’s just an ordinary dog if it’s being kept here. It must be the descendant of some great canine beast!”
“Yeah, I think so too. Look, it doesn’t have a single stray hair on it, and there’s even a crescent mark on its forehead. At a glance, you can tell it’s something extraordinary!”
……
As soon as they noticed the black dog, all the students began discussing it.
Mainly because the little black dog looked exactly like an ordinary black dog, while the other Ferocious Beast cubs, even as cubs, were each at least seven or eight or even ten meters tall!
That little black dog simply did not look like a Ferocious Beast at all.
“Teacher, what kind of Ferocious Beast is this little black dog?”
Looking at the black dog, Luo Qingya grew curious at once.
“Oh, you mean that one? I just picked it up from a garden on campus.”
“It looked pretty cute, so I brought it back.”
“You don’t need to bother with it. It’s not a Ferocious Beast. It’s just an ordinary little black dog. Go ahead and contract yours.”
Only then did Murong Xuantian remember the little black dog and casually answered Luo Qingya.
“I see. Understood, Teacher.”
Hearing that, Luo Qingya nodded in realization.
She had thought the little black dog might be some powerful Ferocious Beast. If it had been, she would not have minded taking a gamble, because when she looked at it, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Then, she began forming hand seals.
After that, she reached toward the earth drake’s head with the hand that carried her essence-blood.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
But when it saw that scene, the little black dog began barking excitedly.
Its commotion instantly angered the earth drake.
How dare something without even a rank bark at it?
“ROAR!”
The earth drake turned furiously and let out an enraged roar at the little black dog.
Then it charged straight toward it.
Of course, since it was trapped inside a cage, it naturally slammed straight into the cage itself.
Boom!!!
Its terrifying strength directly knocked the cage over.
The huge cage toppled straight toward the little black dog.
If that thing came down on it, the little black dog would probably be flattened into a pancake.
Yet at that very moment, Luo Qingya instinctively rushed forward and yanked out the small cage holding the little black dog.
Boom!!!
With a thunderous crash, the huge iron cage smashed heavily onto the ground.
The earth drake inside was thrown onto its back by the impact.
“ROAR!!!”
But it quickly struggled back up and glared furiously at the little black dog Luo Qingya had saved.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
The little black dog, meanwhile, looked at Luo Qingya excitedly and wagged its tail.
At the same time, it stretched out its tongue and licked Luo Qingya’s slender, delicate hand.
Buzz!!
Yet at that very moment, something happened that no one there had anticipated.
A burst of blood-red energy suddenly erupted from Luo Qingya’s hand.
She stared blankly at the blood-red energy in her palm.
That energy transformed into a contract sigil and instantly sank into the little black dog’s body.
In an instant, the entire place fell silent.
“Holy shit, she contracted the wrong one!”
A student immediately cried out in shock.
“Luo Qingya, what are you doing?!”
Murong Xuantian was also greatly alarmed when he saw that.
“I… I don’t know either… I think it licked my contract essence-blood, and now it’s become my beast pet!”
Luo Qingya was stunned too.
She looked like she wanted to cry as she stared at the excited little black dog inside the cage.
“Hahahaha! A gold trait, and you contracted a stupid dog. Luo Qingya, you really are the first in history!”
From within the crowd, Murong Wanting, who had already been holding back a bellyful of resentment, finally burst into mocking laughter.
After hearing that, the other students could only shake their heads helplessly.
“Teacher, can this contract be undone?”
Luo Qingya hurriedly asked Murong Xuantian anxiously.
“Yes, it can.”
Murong Xuantian nodded.
But his expression did not improve in the slightest.
At once, a bad feeling rose in Luo Qingya’s heart.
“It can be undone, but the stronger your innate talent is, the longer it takes to dissolve a contract!”
“With your gold trait, it will take at least three hundred years before you can dissolve it even once!”
“But three hundred years from now, our Ferocious Beasts will already be eighth-tier, maybe even ninth-tier!”
“And you will only then be starting over from the beginning!”
“And without the power feedback from a contracted beast, with your own talent, the fact that you could even reach the Innate Realm in three hundred years would already be a blessing from the heavens.”
“But will you even live to see three hundred years from now?”
“Luo Qingya, your future is already ruined!”
“Hahahahaha!!”
Sure enough, Murong Wanting’s mocking voice rang out from not far away.
Her words were like knives stabbing into Luo Qingya’s body.
Luo Qingya’s face turned deathly pale. She had finally awakened a gold talent. She had finally had a chance to rise out of the bottom. And yet at such a crucial moment, she had made such a disastrous mistake!
Looking at the little black dog inside the cage, happily staring at her, Luo Qingya felt only despair in her heart.
“Murong Wanting, is this how your parents usually taught you to behave?”
At that moment, however, a sharp rebuke instantly turned Murong Wanting’s delighted face pale.
The one scolding her was naturally her grandfather, Murong Xuantian.
Murong Xuantian had never thought highly of either her or her mother, mainly because Murong Wanting’s mother had risen to her position as a mistress.
Worse still, not long after the lawful wife became pregnant, she was killed.
That was why, from the very day Murong Wanting was born, Murong Xuantian had directly expelled his own son from the family as well.
Only because Murong Wanting had inherited part of his talent had he reluctantly allowed the family to move back in.
Yet who would have thought that Murong Wanting would turn out to have such a vile nature?
“Grandfather, I… I was only…”
Murong Wanting wanted to explain.
Unfortunately, one look from Murong Xuantian frightened her into silence.
Still, a trace of venom flashed in the depths of her eyes.
“Don’t worry, Luo Qingya. It’s only three hundred years. For talent like yours, three hundred years is nothing.”
“I will personally train you well and do my best to help you break through as many realms as possible. I will absolutely help you reach above the Martial Emperor Realm as soon as I can!”
Murong Xuantian looked at Luo Qingya and then spoke to her with a smile.
The moment Luo Qingya heard those words, her eyes reddened with gratitude.
“Thank you very much, Teacher Murong!!”
Luo Qingya bowed deeply to Murong Xuantian in thanks.
Then she lifted the little black dog out of the cage.
