Chapter 14

Ye Lingyue and the adorable little pup had built a rather strong relationship in the recent days. To the adorable little pup, having meat to eat at a fixed time was already its daily habit.

Ye Lingyue being unconscious for three days also meant that the adorable little pup in Hongmeng Sanctuary had also been starving for three days.

The adorable little pup waited here and there but didn’t see any delicious meat or Ye Lingyue, so it worriedly paced around Hongmeng Sanctuary.

When it finally saw Ye Lingyue, it rushed towards her.

Tears welled up in its eyes and it looked pitiful as if it had been abandoned.

“Little thing, I’m sorry to have forgotten you. Let me grill some meat for you right now.” Ye Lingyue looked guilty as she took out the fire torch. She then grilled the raw meat on the spot.

The meat fragrance filled the area, and in a few moments, she finished cooking. The adorable pup instantly stuffed itself, only finishing its meal when its stomach was filled to the brim. It also let out a burp. However, unlike before, the adorable little pup didn’t leave after eating.

“Squeak.” The adorable little pup approached Ye Lingyue and sniffed her. It suddenly poked its tongue out and licked Ye Lingyue’s leg.

When she was in the mountain, Ye Lingyue had injured her leg as she faced a life and death situation with the iron-armed ape. Since she already finished up the alcohol ointment she had, she paid no attention to the wound. But surprisingly, the adorable little thing did.

After it had licked at her wound, it felt itchy and numb. Was the little thing worried about her injury?

Ye Lingyue felt extremely touched. She had finally gotten into the little thing’s good books.

“Little thing, I have to leave now.” Ye Lingyue patted the adorable little thing’s head.

As if understanding what Ye Lingyue meant, the adorable little thing’s white fur puffed out.

“Squeak… Squeak. Squeak.” The adorable little thing instantly bit the helm of her skirt and crunched up into a ball, unwilling to let go. It was as if it was afraid that Ye Lingyue would disappear for a few days again.

After spending some time with Ye Lingyue, the adorable little thing believed in her completely.

“What are you doing?” Seeing the adorable little thing act that way, it confused Ye Lingyue.

Tears and some hesitation filled its eyes. However, it ultimately decided.

Suddenly, the adorable little thing opened its mouth and bit at Ye Lingyue’s leg, causing some blood to appear by its lips.

Ye Lingyue’s blood and the adorable little thing’s blood formed two separate hexagonal stars. They then congregated together and formed two ancient contracting runes.

Not minding the pain anymore, Ye Lingyue stared at the bright red runes shining and a thought flashed in her mind.

Spiritual contract… Was this the spiritual contract that came with a spiritual beast that her mother talked about?

Ye Lingyue watched as her blood-derived rune shot into the adorable pup’s body, while the pup’s blood-derived rune shot into hers.

The moment the spiritual contract’s runes entered their bodies, Hongmeng Sanctuary changed as well. The thick white fog that surrounded it vanished, and with that, the one-hectare wide space turned into a vast field.

Apart from the fresh change in the size of Hongmeng Sanctuary’s space, two little wooden huts also appeared opposite of each other, taking up the northern and the southern parts. The elementary force in Hongmeng Sanctuary grew a lot denser as well.

Did Hongmeng Sanctuary level up?

Ye Lingyue understood that the new changes in Hongmeng Sanctuary were because of the spiritual contract she formed with the adorable little pup.

“Squeak. Squeak.” After the adorable little thing had formed a spiritual contract with Ye Lingyue, it happily hopped on the spot. However, Ye Lingyue couldn’t understand what it was saying at all.

The adorable little pup was a spiritual beast without a doubt. However, it was still too young. It was fortunate that it could spiritually communicate some simple words with Ye Lingyue after they made a contract.

“Squeaky, are you asking me to take a look at the two wooden huts?” Ye Lingyue walked towards the huts. Hongmeng Sanctuary’s original owner must have owned them.

It had been years since anyone last stayed in the wooden huts.

Ye Lingyue entered the left hut. Inside the hut, there was a bed, some of the most basic daily necessities, and some books.

Most of them were literature books. A man called Immortal Hongmeng left a book behind, called the Hongmeng Guide.

After reading the guide, Ye Lingyue suddenly understood many things.

This master called Immortal Hongmeng was Hongmeng Sanctuary’s first owner. At the same time, he was also the original owner of the black cauldron in Ye Lingyue’s right hand.

To hide away and live with his lover, Poison Supremacy Jadehand, Immortal Hongmeng used his precious treasure called the Qian cauldron to create Hongmeng Sanctuary. It was essentially a cave outside of space.

Back then, the two of them were well-known figures in the world, but with different recognitions in society. One of them was known for helping and saving lives, while the other was known for being evil and killing countless people.

These two opposites became each other’s lovers. But after deciding to retire and hideaway, it wasn’t a happily ever after for them. Because of their different ideology, a tremendous fight broke out that they ultimately ended up attacking each other. Hate suddenly filled the loving couple’s relationship.

In her anger, Poison Supremacy Jadehand left Hongmeng Sanctuary. After that, Immortal Hongmeng regretted what had happened and left Hongmeng Sanctuary to find Poison Supremacy Jadehand. However, it was a pity that neither of them returned after they had left.

Squeaky was a spiritual baby that Poison Supremacy Jadehand took care of back then. After they abandoned the place, they left Squeaky sealed inside the Qian cauldron. It had already been thousands of years until Ye Lingyue accidentally broke the Qian cauldron’s seal, which also accidentally opened Hongmeng Sanctuary hidden in the Qian cauldron.
