Chapter 8: Snow Lion Breakthrough

[【If only the girl in front of me could form a contract with me. I can feel her energy is very strong; her talent must be excellent.】]

The Snowfield Lion glanced at Song Tiantian, but Song Tiantian showed no intention of asking to contract it, so it looked toward Jiang Su.

In the life of a beast, things rarely go as planned!

[Although this kid's talent is a bit lacking and he's a bit dim-witted, he's actually not too bad. The key is that he's rich; the feeling of hunger is just too unbearable.]

The Snowfield Lion was terrified of hunger, and it had also been convinced by Song Tiantian; it wanted to go out and see a much broader world.

Moreover, if it rejected this contract, there was no telling what kind of monsters or demons would come to contract it next time.

In its heart, it actually still wanted to try and win over Song Tiantian.

But Song Tiantian had no money! She also wanted to contract the Snowfield Lion, but she simply couldn't afford it.

Song Tiantian patted the Snowfield Lion's head and spoke to it.

"Snowfield Lion, don't worry. Although Jiang Su isn't strong enough right now, once he contracts you, he will definitely work hard. From now on, every morning, he will run and exercise with you to improve his strength. When the time comes, he'll sweep through the battlefield and make you the strongest pet in Qingshan City."

┗|｀O′|┛ Roar~~

After the Snowfield Lion let out a loud roar, it actually nodded.

Song Tiantian said to Jiang Su, "You really have to exercise from now on. Can you do it? I will supervise you. The Snowfield Lion doesn't want a slacker for a master. It possesses great power, and its life is destined not to be mediocre. As its master, you will naturally shine brilliantly as well."

At this moment, Jiang Su didn't know what came over him, but he suddenly felt a surge of hot blood: "Snowfield Lion, from now on, you will protect Qingshan City with me and protect everything here. I will work hard."

Song Tiantian placed energy stones at the feet of Jiang Su and the Snowfield Lion, then switched on the contract device. She injected her own power into the energy stones; this was the power of the Beast Taming Manual cultivation technique. Although she had only practiced for one day, she had accumulated a few strands of it.

"Jiang Su, you must remember your promise today. The Snowfield Lion is a powerhouse, and you are its master; you are also a powerhouse."

After finishing her words, Song Tiantian took out a knife. With a swift motion, she skillfully cut a slit into the hands of both the Snowfield Lion and Jiang Su.

Under the influence of the energy stones and the formation, the two drops of blood did not fall, but instead flew above the heads of him and the Snowfield Lion, forming a powerful force that entered their bodies.

"Jiang Su, you have to hold on! According to Dr. Bai's thesis, the first time you contract a high-tier pet, it will definitely open a Pet Space. Cultivating or healing in the Pet Space has double the effect. Close your eyes, focus on your soul, and you will see a beam of light. You will open your own Pet Space.

With a body as big as the Snowfield Lion's, it'll need at least a hundred-square-meter space with three bedrooms and a living room to stay comfortable.

Just think, if there's only one cubic meter, the Snowfield Lion will have to crouch inside with its body squeezed. If it crouches for too long, its body will become deformed..."

In reality, Dr. Bai's thesis had only mentioned this possibility.

It did not say that a Pet Space would definitely open.

But Song Tiantian felt somewhat uneasy; she didn't want the Snowfield Lion to follow a loser.

Otherwise, she would feel a sense of guilt, as if she were selling a young maiden to an old man in the mountains.

She had no money and couldn't contract the Snowfield Lion, but she wanted to give it a better life.

Jiang Su's character wasn't bad; at the very least, he was willing to tutor a school-dropout girl like her and was quite patient.

The key was that he was rich; he could produce a hundred million just like that.

If the Snowfield Lion followed him, its future days wouldn't be too difficult.

Jiang Su was originally unable to hold on; he felt a splitting headache. But his Pet Space really was only one cubic meter. Hearing Song Tiantian's words, he decided to push through one more time. With one cubic meter, the Snowfield Lion might not even be able to fit inside, and he also wanted to bring in the Snowfield Lion's favorite toys—no, he wanted to buy even more toys for the Snowfield Lion.

He had to persist; he couldn't give up.

He knew how good the Snowfield Lion was. It was brought from the capital by Dr. Bai and had infinite potential; one couldn't find such a powerful pet in the entire Qingshan City.

He absolutely could not let the Snowfield Lion follow him feeling aggrieved; he wanted to give it the very best of everything.

It hurt; his brain felt like it was about to explode.

Every ounce of strength in his entire body was being drained.

Jiang Su felt Song Tiantian's voice was like the buzzing of a mosquito; he couldn't hear a word she was saying at all.

He only knew that he had to expand his Pet Space to be larger.

"Roar!"

The Snowfield Lion let out a great roar; it sensed Jiang Su's unyielding conviction.

If choosing Jiang Su at the beginning was out of necessity, at this moment, it was moved.

It felt there was no master more suitable for it than Jiang Su. Talent was never the sole deciding factor.

A massive surge of power radiated from the Snowfield Lion and poured into Jiang Su's body, changing his constitution. At this moment, the Snowfield Lion broke through.

Song Tiantian also sensed this powerful energy, and her body instinctively activated her cultivation technique to begin absorbing it.

"Song Tiantian, my Pet Space is a hundred square meters!"

Jiang Su said these words with a smile. He was very happy that he hadn't let Song Tiantian down.

However, after saying it, he collapsed, falling into a deep sleep.

The Snowfield Lion also turned into a white light and entered Jiang Su's body.

"Do you know? Usually, when a novice beast tamer contracts a pet, the strongest space is only about ten square meters. You actually made Jiang Su open a hundred-square-meter space! Not to mention, Jiang Su's aptitude doesn't even meet the average requirements. If the Snowfield Lion hadn't broken through and I hadn't added the energy stones in time, Jiang Su would be dead!"

"Then why didn't I see that? Didn't Dr. Bai say that the space opened during the first contract should be as large as possible?"

Song Tiantian had acted based on Dr. Bai's thesis, added some of her own inferences, and then haphazardly let Jiang Su proceed with the contract.

"Because that is classified information, you can't see it!"

A wave of fear washed over Song Tiantian; she had almost killed Jiang Su just now.

It was only then that she suddenly realized that the person who had been talking to her was Dr. Bai; he had arrived without her knowing.

"Dr. Bai, thank goodness you came, otherwise Jiang Su would be dead. I would have been at least guilty of manslaughter, and the Snowfield Lion's talent might have been damaged as well."

"I heard from customer service that you were helping Jiang Su contract the Snowfield Lion, so I came over."

"Doctor, I'm sorry. I won't do this again next time. I was just too anxious and wanted to succeed too much."

"I heard that Jiang Su was the one who helped you interpret this thesis."

"Yes! He's a very good person."

"You don't have access to classified information, but he does. Didn't you know that, or did he not know?"

"Maybe it's because my voice is quite loud, and he was won over by my aura!" Song Tiantian indeed didn't feel that Jiang Su was very impressive enough to access classified information; she felt that Jiang Su was just as idle as she was.
