I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 41 The Running Ginseng Fruit
Nan Ran plopped down on the ground, putting distance between herself and the pair of water-blue, bell-like vertical pupils, before recognizing the beast.

"Frostbeast?"

"You... how did you get here?"

After parting ways with Shi Song and Hua Shen, the Frost Beast did not follow her anymore.

[contract!]
The Frostbeast raised one of its front paws with a touch of arrogance and stretched it out toward Nanran.

"what?"

what what?
Nan Ran stared at the Frostbeast, somewhat bewildered: "Contract, contract, contract, a pact?!"

Is it now common for high-level monsters to come to you and sign contracts with you?

“You are Elder Shi Song’s demon beast, it’s not appropriate for me to form a contract with you, I…”

[no!]
Nan Ran still wanted to politely decline. Even if she wanted to form a contract with the Frostbeast, she should at least ask the Flame Lion and Elder Shi Song for their opinions first!
Before she could even utter her excuse, the Frostbeast's voice was serious and urgent.

[The sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect sent you to participate in the inner sect trial because he wanted you to die in the Water Demon Forest.]
[I don't want you to die!!]
[The Water Fairy Forest was my former habitat. I am more familiar with the environment there than that intelligent but simple-minded fire-breathing beast, and I know better how to deal with the dangers there.]
[Make a pact with me, and your chances of returning alive will be greater.]
Nan Ran was even more confused.

Her mouth was slightly agape, and it took her a long while to process what the Frostbeast had said: "Sect Master... Nan Shu, you want to... kill me?!"

Why?!

Despite her shock, Nan Ran wasn't particularly surprised.

When she first saw Nan Shu today, she had a very strange feeling.

My body instinctively wanted to escape, and I didn't want to get close to Nan Shu's location.

She just couldn't understand why Nan Shu wanted to kill her.

[That's what I heard them say today]
[Besides, rare and precious treasures will soon appear in the Water Demon Forest. Don't you want a piece of the pie?]
The Frostbeast is a salesperson who tricks Nanran into buying insurance.

[Make a contract with me, and I guarantee you'll have a chance to steal it.]
It reached out to Nan Ran again, and Nan Ran subconsciously took two steps back.

Do you hate me?
The Frostbeast seemed heartbroken by Nan Ran's actions; its vertical pupils turned into round, watery eyes. "I didn't, I didn't..."

[That contract!]
The Frostbeast reached out its hand to Nanran again, as if to say that she disagreed with the contract and therefore disliked it.

Nan Ran: ...

I feel like I'm being morally blackmailed!

What should I do? I need help urgently! (I'm online!)
What I'm saying is, at this point, can't we give her a system?!
She doesn't want to think!

"I……"

Roar! !

Nan Ran, who was struggling with how to politely refuse the Frostbeast, suddenly heard the roar of the Flame Lion, and her heart relaxed a lot.

The Fiery Lion quickly appeared in front of Nan Ran, blocking the way between the man and the beast.

Roar! !

[You little green tea b*tch! What are you doing here again?! This is my master!! Get away from me!!]
Frostmonkey remained unfazed and unmoved by the threat of the Flame Lion.

It only said what it heard from the Beast Taming Sect Master.

[...Life and death are predestined, doesn't that mean your master will die in the Water Demon Forest and never return?]
They knew perfectly well that the Water Fairy Forest would not be peaceful for some time to come.

Yet he still insisted on sending Nan Ran, who was powerless, unable to use spiritual power, and possessed great cultivation but had no way to utilize it, to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

If she's not careful, she'll reveal that she's a running ginseng fruit.

At that time, who knows how many people will try to take advantage of Nanran.

The Frostbeast let out a few heavy snorts from its nostrils.

[Who knows, the rare and precious treasures that are about to appear in the Water Demon Forest might not be as coveted as your physique.]
