“What the hell is this name? It cannot display my lofty demeanor!”
The little cloud stretched its body into an ‘X’ shape, directly refusing to accept it.
“What about little metal? Your full name has the word metal in it!”
Sun Mo thought of another name. After all, the full name of this species was known as the eight-gate metallock cloud, it had the word ‘metal’ in its name. Hence, it could be considered suitable.
The little cloud was still considering, but Lu Zhiruo already called out, “This name sounds so tacky!”
“That’s right, tacky!”
The little cloud gave up on thinking and expressed its agreement. After that, its body swelled up and the ‘X’ word became larger by a size.
“How about Little Silver? I feel it’s quite adorable!”
Li Ziqi suggested.
“Mn, this isn’t bad!”
Lu Zhiruo rubbed the little cloud. It was completely silver in color and when it flew around, there would be a silver-colored trail behind it, resembling a little tail. It was dazzling, gorgeous, and adorable.
“It’s adorable? Alright, this shall be my name then!”
The eight-gate cloud expressed its agreement. After that, it reverted back to its normal form.
Ying Baiwu didn’t say anything but after hearing the nickname ‘Little Silver’ she involuntarily cast a glance at Li Ziqi. (What do you mean by using the name I set aside for my future baby girl?)
(Forget it, I might give birth to a baby boy. At that time, I will call my boy ‘little gold’.)
The little cloud that had a name now was very happy as it floated around. It was like a puppy going around to spread love and joy.
“Little Silver, do you want to go to other places? For example, the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. Our Jinling City is the place with the most gorgeous scenery and has the most beautiful flowers!”
“Can I?”
Little Silver was moved. But after that, it hurriedly rejected. “No, once I show myself, I might be captured. ‘Mother’ said before that once someone signed a soul contract with me, I would be finished.”
“You have a ‘mother’?”
Sun Mo was taken aback. However, this question wasn’t the main point. “Little Silver, are you willing to sign a soul resonance contract with me?”
“This contract will make it that both parties are of equal standing. No one will be able to control the other. But after signing it, because of its existence, if other spirit-mediums want to dominate and control you, they have to destroy the branding imprint of this contract first.”
“And the only way to erase the branding imprint is for them to kill me. As long as I don’t die, you will be safe.”
Sun Mo explained the content of a soul resonance contract.
Little Silver sank into thinking. As a cloud, it was naturally inclined to a vaster world. But because it was an extremely rare mysterious species of darkness, let alone humans, even other mysterious species of darkness would want to capture it. If it wasn’t for the fact that it could fly and had fast speed, Little Silver would have been caught countless times.
However, would there be a danger in signing such a contract?
Sun Mo smiled. He didn’t waste words and directly removed his robes. He used a dagger to slash the area of his heart and started to chant the spell words to the soul resonance contract.
“A sincere heart, the beauty of a soul, a friend for life, bound for eternity!”
Putong, putong!
Sun Mo’s heart thumped rapidly. More fresh blood flowed from his wound and formed into a mysterious and profound-looking picture.
The three girls all fell silent. Even their breaths slowed.
The current Sun Mo completely opened his heart to Little Silver.
In the history of the Nine Provinces, not a single eight-gate cloud had been captured before because they had a very strong innate ability to sense hostility. Hence, before their enemies could arrive, they would have fled in advance.
Why would Little Silver appear before Sun Mo and follow him for so long? Because it could sense that the hearts of these four people were kind. They had no evil intentions.
This was especially so for that big-breasted girl. From the start to the end, other than curiosity, she felt no desire at all toward it. A teacher that could teach such students would definitely be a virtuous teacher with high morals.
“Little Silver, just agree to it. Teacher wouldn’t harm you!”
Lu Zhiruo added. “A person playing alone is too lonely.”
Little Silver fell silent.
“In the past, I’ve always played alone. I would speak with the flowers and grass, ants and bugs. But in the end, I discovered that I actually want to have friends.”
The papaya girl thought of her childhood. “I wish to play with you, but I’m also worried that you would be captured!”
Li Ziqi originally wanted to say something, but after seeing such an expression on Lu Zhiruo’s face as well as hearing her gentle voice, she wisely shut her mouth. For the subject of spiritual beast control, the papaya girl could truly be considered as ‘gifted’.
(Sigh, this is simply talent!) Li Ziqi sighed ruefully. Some people worked very hard to reach the ceiling. Yet, that ceiling was only the floor of someone else.
“Little Silver, the world is so vast. Don’t you wish to go out for a look?” Sun Mo smiled lightly. He didn’t want to persuade too much. It was better for the little cloud to make its own decision. However, he truly did consider things on its behalf.
It was just like someone who saw a stray kitten on the roadside…they would always want to give it food and hope it could have the freedom to live as it liked, be happy and unrestrained. They didn’t want the kitten to live a life like them, trapped in an invisible wall.
Swish!
A golden glow lit up from Sun Mo and cascaded out. Not only the three girls were affected, but even the spirit qi roaming dragon and the eight-gate cloud were also covered with the glow.
For a time, a strange atmosphere enveloped the great hall.
“It can’t be, right?”
Li Ziqi was incomparably shocked. Wasn’t ‘Priceless Advice’ only usable on humans? But from the looks of things now, was it also effective to other species?
Truthfully, Li Ziqi didn’t know this. As the saying went, the words of sages could enlighten the myriad of living things. As a great teacher halo, when ‘Priceless Advice’ reached its maximum level, it could also enlighten the myriad of living things. It was like those sages in the legends. A single sentence from them could enlighten a wild beast, allowing it to transform into human-form, achieving success in its cultivation.
“Mn?”
Sun Mo was also a little surprised. He didn’t even intend to use ‘Priceless Advice’. However, he soon sank into contemplation after that.
Priceless Advice was a great teacher halo possessed by Sun Mo, and it was the only great teacher halo that wasn’t obtained from the system. It would activate randomly without his control. Hence, he had always been researching
Little Silver didn’t reject the idea.
“Naturally, it has to be at a safe location to guarantee that we wouldn’t be attacked every time we teleport here.”
Li Ziqi explained.
