Yun Feng walked around the town and didn’t stay any longer. There was still some time until the auction. The people she expected to show up wouldn’t be here early at this moment. Most of them were just people watching the drama. At ten in the afternoon, Yun Feng returned home quietly. She cared more about the matter between Little Fire and Qingqing in her mind. She wanted to find out what Little Fire thought of Qingqing. If a Magic Beast and a human could be together and be happy, she wouldn’t say anything.
Little Fire was her partner and friend who had been through life and death with her. Qingqing was the only disciple she valued. It wasn’t that nobody had shown admiration for Yun Feng in the past few decades, but Yun Feng had only had Xia Qing as her disciple. Xia Qing wasn’t the most talented, and Xia Qing didn’t have the best personality. However, Yun Feng liked her. Qingqing was the same as her. She worked hard step by step and had never flinched or admitted defeat.
The night was lonely. Chunfeng Town was still brightly lit and noisy. This was a phenomenon that hadn’t happened in more than a decade. It had never been quiet in the middle of the night. It had already lasted for a few days. The old house of the Yun family was exceptionally quiet. All the noise seemed to be blocked out. To be exact, nobody dared to disturb this place easily. After all, this was the Yun family’s house.
Yun Feng flashed out of the Yun family’s old house and directly ran to the Foggy Forest nearby. The mercenaries stationed here had already left. In the current situation, the existence of the East and West Alliance made most mercenaries lose the thought of making a fortune. Hunting Magic Beasts was quite dangerous. It was better to work for the East and West Alliance.
The Foggy Forest was silent. Yun Feng sat on a tall tree with her back against the wide tree trunk. She looked at the lights that were still lit in Chunfeng
Town in the distance through the leaves with her black eyes and waited quietly.
“Swish…!” A black shadow came on the night wind. There were spots of glittering fire on its body in the night, drawing faint red marks in the air. Little Fire, which was slightly longer but still had a very cute face, stood in front of
Yun Feng. “Master.”
Yun Feng looked up at the slightly unfamiliar Little Fire in front of her. His personality had changed. She had always thought that it was because of the darkness element, but she seemed to have forgotten one possibility, which was his own change.
“I’ve called you many times before. Why didn’t you answer me?” Yun Feng raised her brows with a serious expression and there was even a hint of coldness in her words, which obviously stunned Little Fire. Master didn’t ask about Xia Qing?
“Answer me.” Yun Feng’s expression became even colder. “Was I too good to you, so good that you think you can ignore Master’s call?”
Little Fire’s expression changed. “That’s not it! It’s my fault!”
Yun Feng looked at Little Fire solemnly. “Ever since you woke up, some things have been different. Why exactly?”
Little Fire frowned and remained silent. Yun Feng couldn’t help but sigh. “Little
Fire, if you don’t want to follow me anymore, I won’t force you.”
Little Fire’s body suddenly tightened and there was an indescribable pain. It clenched its fists tightly and said in a low voice, “That’s not the case. It’s just that after I woke up again, something in my heart began to move uneasily. The more stupid and uneasy these things are, the less I can control my elements.
I’m very anxious.”
“You can’t control them?” Yun Feng was puzzled. Little Fire took a deep breath and a ball of fire suddenly surged out of its body. The Magic Beast form of the Fire Cloud Wolf appeared and its black wings slowly unfolded. The dark red fire spread with scorching temperature in an instant. “Master, there was originally darkness element in my body, but it was just a little. After I was reborn this time, the darkness element in my body is gradually swallowing my own fire element.”
Yun Feng’s heart trembled! She glanced at the Fire Cloud Wolf. The dark color had already spread from the Fire Cloud Wolf’s wings to its back! Even though it was just a small piece, the speed of spread was too astonishing!
“It’s not that I didn’t respond to Master’s call. It’s just that… I didn’t hear it at all.” A glint of pain flashed through the eyes of the Fire Cloud Wolf. Yun Feng was even more shocked. The wolf didn’t hear it! Little Fire didn’t hear her telepathic communication! Did this mean that their connection contract was inexplicably weakened?
“If this goes on, the contract between me and Master will completely disappear one day! I don’t want this to happen!” With a deep roar, the Fire Cloud Wolf’s voice was full of pain. “I don’t want to leave Master’s side, but I don’t know what to do at all! The period of time I was away from Master proved my guess. The contract between me and Master is invisibly weakened again!”
Yun Feng twisted her wrist and took out the Fire Ring of Contract. “Little Fire, does the weakening of the contract between us have anything to do with this Ring of Contract? While you were asleep, cracks suddenly appeared on the Ring of Contract. Do you know?”
“Cracks?” Little Fire was stunned. “I don’t know. I couldn’t feel anything while I was asleep. Cracks appeared? How is that possible?”
Yun Feng frowned. “It seems that the damage to the Ring of Contract has severely affected the relationship between a summoner and the contracted Magic Beasts. Two cracks have already caused such a result. If there are a few more cracks, the contract between us will break sooner or later.” Yun Feng and Little Fire had a master-servant contract. If they forcibly canceled the contact, the summoner would suffer a lot of damage, which was very disadvantageous for Yun Feng right now.
“I wonder if the cracks on the Ring of Contract can be repaired…” Yun Feng whispered. She didn’t want to lose Little Fire either. Even if there were better
Magic Beasts in the fire element, where could she find such a unique Fire Cloud Wolf? Besides, nobody could replace their friendship along the way.
“You can’t control the fire elements in your body. It’s very likely related to the cracks on the ring. The weakening of our connection also affects you. It seems that the most important thing is to deal with these cracks.”
“There’s a solution?” Little Fire seemed a bit surprised. It had been very depressed during this period of time. It was frustrated and anxious. Now that it heard what Yun Feng said, it couldn’t help but feel enlightened.
“I won’t abandon you,” said Yun Feng. The Fire Cloud Wolf’s eyes shrank fiercely and its ears moved slightly. Yun Feng got up and walked over, caressing the Fire Cloud Wolf’s fluffy head with her hand. Little Fire was extremely obedient. “You haven’t said a word to me these days.. Are you so anxious that you don’t trust me?”
