Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Pure Fond Spirits_1
The creature cradled in Ye Hanjun's hand was a tadpole.
It was a tiny, fragile little tadpole, as though it could be crushed with just a little force.
"The all-powerful creator of nature... has created another miracle?"
Ye Hanjun held out his palm, positioning it at eye level.
From the tadpole's point of view, a monstrous face it had never seen before in its life was suddenly brought up close.
The size of the creature's eyes alone was almost comparable to its own body.
Upon close scrutiny, the oppressive feeling that arose from being shrouded in shadow was insurmountable.
...
This was all Ye Hanjun's speculation.
The tiny tadpole, about the size of a grain of rice, seemed to be unaware of fear.
An unfamiliar life energy field was so close, its hot breath within reach.
Yet, the tadpole seemed unperturbed, and a spark of curiosity gleamed in its innocent, spiritual eyes.
"Yiye?"
"Yiye? Yiye?"
The tadpole wagged its tail and spun in a circle, as if it still wasn't quite sure what was happening.
What's happening? Why had its sleeping place changed without warning? Where was it, and what was it doing?
"A genuine Pure Beast, the mythical Pure Fond Spirits, encountered in such an unexpected way..."
Ye Hanjun had seen many spectacles, and the trials he had weathered since childhood dwarfed those experienced by any average practitioner a thousandfold.
However, this event shook him to his core.
Innumerable worlds, countless species, strange and peculiar beings abound.
Yet, this 'Pure Beast', had been mentioned only in bits and pieces in historical texts, biographies, and scriptures.
Relevant knowledge was largely absent, leaving extensive blanks.
The aura of mystery surrounding it was tantamount to the legend of the Holy Saint Embryo.
Ye Hanjun was amazed. Here, in the humble Giant Frog Marsh, a place where beginners came to choose their spiritual companions, he had encountered such a creature. And, it appeared in such a pure and flawless form.
This was truly... an honor beyond words!
"Yiye~~~~"
The tadpole had a long tail and a big head.
It peered around curiously, much like a fascinated child.
Moreover, it was incredibly well-behaved. It stayed in Ye Hanjun's palm without attempting to escape, either fearless or naive, unaware of the cruelty of human nature.
Ye Hanjun cupped some water in his other hand and gently poured it onto the tadpole.
Unexpectedly, the little creature shook its head, splashing water everywhere. Its tiny eyes squinted into crescents, finding the experience enjoyable and exciting.
"Little guy, follow me from now on."
"With me, you'll drink the most pristine Hundred Flowers Dew in the morning, century-old Golden Cassia Tree Latex for lunch, and exquisite wine brewed by fairy sisters in the evening... I'll make sure you grow fast and become a big and strong lad."
"Yiye!"
Although the young one didn't understand human language, communicating verbally with it was akin to playing the lute for a cow.
But as a Pure Fond Spirit, it instinctively distinguished between good and evil.
Ye Hanjun harbored no ill intentions... this was the only information it could gauge, nothing more. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
"I wish Liuying were here."
"Yiye~~~~"
The little tadpole didn't understand, but seeing the "big tadpole" chatting with it, it seemed quite happy, shaking its head and repeatedly agreeing.
"Have I prepared a luxurious fish tank for you, or would you prefer to join in the fun and stay here with your little friends?"
Ye Hanjun held up the little tadpole and moved it next to the large tank.
This time, the little tadpole blinked its eyes and swiftly slid into the water.
"Yiye~~~~~"(≧?≦)?
After swimming around a couple of times, the little tadpole appeared jubilant. Its crystal clear body was nearly invisible in the water, making it hard to spot unless observed closely.
As for its arrival, the jumping shrimps, cyclops goldfish, and mini crabs were seemingly unaware.
It wasn't until the little tadpole got so close they were practically touching that they'd suddenly widen their eyes with disbelief.
"Innately low presence?" Ye Hanjun watched with interest.
Ancient books had indeed described it so.
Pure Beasts, as species favored by nature, whether sentient or ignorant creatures, found it hard to notice them based on instinct alone.
Even the most ruthless, violent creatures, as long as they did not lose complete control.
When encountering Pure Beasts, they would try to avoid them as much as possible, unwilling to cause a conflict easily.
Pure Fond Spirits—equivalent to carrying a life-saving amulet by birth!
Just this point alone, their racial value could be elevated to an unimaginable degree!
"Little guy, they are not playing with you."
Ye Hanjun squatted on the ground, quietly watching the little tadpole swimming around.
The small fish and shrimp ignored it, even fleeing when pushed, but the small tadpole always remained worry-free and joyous, a tadpole could also play happily.
"Yiye~~~~"
Hearing Ye Hanjun call to him, the little tadpole came up from the bottom of the tank.
Most of its head floating above the water, its tail wiggling, it was both obedient and cute, just like a small child.
Ye Hanjun burst into laughter; such a simple interaction was something he had never experienced in his life, everything felt new and fascinating.
"Innocence as a core personality trait, to some degree symbolizes the most important characteristic of a Fond Spirit..."
"This little guy is destined to be well protected, only after it passes through its most juvenile stage, the prime of its bloodline can be ushered..."
Ye Hanjun stretched out a finger again, and touched the little tadpole's cool forehead.
Then, he stood up, turned off?the lights in the?washroom, and walked out as it was.
"The luckiest thing today was finding the 'Pure White Tadpole', the future is full of hope and possibilities."
"But it's a pity, the little guy is too young, void of any combat skills."
"If I give the first Contract Imprint related to the Instructor to the little tadpole, I will fall into passivity for a short period, not being able to tackle various challenges, it is more than my heart's desire but beyond my ability..."
Ye Hanjun pinched his chin, furrowed his brows.
Due to the current situation, a switch of choice was necessary. Although it was unbearably frustrating, there was indeed no room for leniency.
"In other words, I still need to figure out a way to find a more suitable first Fond Spirit..."
Lost in thought, Ye Hanjun unknowingly returned to the living room, to the entryway.
"Roar!!!"
The Shield Armor Turtle had its limbs bound and couldn't move.
But that didn't stop it from spotting its target. Once it saw Ye Hanjun approach, it let out a supressed roar from its throat. The lonely night became irritatingly noisy.
"Never mind, the Contracted Spirit can be dealt with tomorrow."
"I've been annoyed by you for a long time... Come here!"
