However, after Da Ming and Er Ming finished speaking, they fixed their gaze on Xiao Tian, wanting to know if he truly had a way to resolve this matter.
Allowing Xiao Wu Jie to stay here could indeed guarantee her safety, but it wasn't a long-term solution. There would always be a time when her lifespan ended. Now that Xiao Wu had taken human form, her current lifespan was only about a hundred years. They also didn't want to see Xiao Wu grow old and die in front of them.
Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, and suddenly, an idea came to him: the Spirit Soul Contract method the system had given him. Xiao Wu hadn't yet reached the sixty-level maturity, so theoretically, she was still a Spirit Beast, not a human. Could he use this method to form a contract with her?
Originally, he had planned to use this method to contract with Ah Yin later, but now, it seemed he could bring it up and let Da Ming and Er Ming consider it as well.
If it could truly succeed, when Xiao Wu encountered danger, she could hide in his spiritual space. And if he encountered enemies he couldn't defeat, he could directly use the jade pendant given by the system to teleport away or escape with the Shrinking Ground into Inches ability.
Subsequently, Xiao Tian told Da Ming and Er Ming about the concept of the Spirit Soul Contract.
A moment later, Da Ming asked, "Is this method you speak of truly feasible? Where did you get this method?"
Xiao Tian shook his head slightly and said, "Just assume I thought of it myself. The Spirit Soul Contract method is absolutely feasible, but Xiao Wu has already transformed into human form, which makes me a bit uncertain."
"Moreover, forming a Spirit Soul Contract with a Spirit Beast is not that simple. Ordinary Spirit Beasts need to be at least ten thousand years old to possess a certain level of intelligence. So, I haven't contracted any Spirit Souls yet."
Xiao Tian's words meant that it was up to Da Ming and Er Ming to decide how to proceed.
"Brother, I'm willing to try!"
However, Xiao Tian shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Wu, I just said that after signing a Spirit Soul Contract, the Spirit Beast's own body will disappear, unless its cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years, only then can it rematerialize its body. And in your current state, I'm not sure if you will still retain your body at that time."
Xiao Wu smiled: "Brother, you don't understand me, do you? You should know that even if I've taken human form, I am still essentially a one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beast, because the spirit ring and Spirit Bone within me are also one hundred thousand years old. I don't think this conflicts with what you said about reaching one hundred thousand years."
"Besides, even if it truly fails in the end, I won't disappear. I'll just stay in your spiritual sea and cultivate back to one hundred thousand years of cultivation, wouldn't that be fine? When you go out, you can just give Rongrong and the others any excuse."
Xiao Wu was also very curious about this Spirit Soul Contract. If it could truly succeed, it might even ease the relationship between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts in the future. After all, if a Spirit Master died after a Spirit Soul Contract, the Spirit Beast wouldn't die.
Moreover, after the contract, Xiao Tian had said that they could achieve a certain degree of telepathy.
Of course, this would require someone who could speak for both the Spirit Master's world and the Spirit Beast World to come forward. This matter wasn't urgent for now, but it ultimately gave her some hope.
"Xiao Wu Jie!"
Da Ming and Er Ming both felt that Xiao Wu Jie was being a bit impulsive, so they said, "Why don't we two form the Spirit Soul Contract with Xiao Tian instead of you?"
Didn't Xiao Tian say that after becoming his Spirit Soul, the abilities of the Spirit Master and the Spirit Beast could be used interchangeably, and after forming the contract, we two could also protect you better by your side?
Saying that, Da Ming and Er Ming looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Kid, what do you think? With the help of us two one hundred thousand-year Spirit Beasts, your future growth will definitely be smoother. And didn't you just break through to level forty? Either I or Er Ming can add a suitable fourth spirit ring for you."
Xiao Tian: ???
Xiao Tian was suddenly a bit confused and tentatively asked, "Don't you two need to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to guard it?"
Da Ming shook his head and said, "The Star Dou Great Forest is far from as simple as you think. In this forest, we two are not the absolute overlords, so there's no need for us to guard it. We two hope more that Xiao Wu Jie can live safely!"
Er Ming said in a rumbling voice, "Yes, when Xiao Wu Jie's mother went deeper into the forest to find Xiao Wu Jie's father, she met with misfortune. When we arrived, we only found Xiao Wu Jie hiding in the bushes. We two should have accompanied Auntie to find Uncle back then, sigh..."
Da Ming said, "And back then, Xiao Wu Jie resolutely chose to enter the human World, wanting to avenge herself against that person from Spirit Hall. We couldn't stop her. Although we were worried, for the sake of the bigger picture, we wouldn't choose to take human form.
When Xiao Wu Jie encountered danger and ran to the Star Dou Great Forest, we two had the strength to protect her. This was a layer of protection. But now it's not needed. If the Spirit Soul Contract you mentioned is real, we two would be very happy to see it."
At this moment, Xiao Wu also told Da Ming and Er Ming about that past event and Xiao Tian's speculation about it. The two Spirit Beasts immediately fell into deep thought again.
That being said... it actually made some sense. With Bibi Dong's strength at that time, it was impossible for her not to have discovered Xiao Wu hiding in the bushes.
"Hmm, regarding this matter, there's no rush for now. When your strength reaches a certain level in the future, perhaps you can go and ask Bibi Dong for a clear explanation. Auntie's soul should still be attached to the spirit ring and Spirit Bone. Although it's difficult to revive her, it's not without hope!"
Ever since A Rou's death, Da Ming and Er Ming had not stopped researching how to revive her, and they had made some progress, but it required gathering many items.
Xiao Tian was silent for a moment. If Da Ming and Er Ming wanted to sign a Spirit Soul Contract with him, he would be more than willing. Whether it was the power-type Er Ming or the agility-type Da Ming, both were very suitable to add a spirit ring to his Fifteen.
"Brother, since Da Ming and Er Ming are willing, then..."
Xiao Wu nodded at Xiao Tian.
This way would indeed be much safer. Initially, Da Ming and Er Ming could stay in Xiao Tian's spiritual space, and then a suitable identity could be arranged for them later.
Xiao Tian nodded heavily, then looked at Da Ming and Er Ming, closed his eyes, recalled the key points of forming a Spirit Soul Contract, and simultaneously recited the contract incantation.
"Spirit Soul and I, our hearts connected. Treating each other as equals, mutually protecting and assisting. The power of the Spirit, enters my spirit ring. My will, as firm as the Spirit. Heaven and Earth bear witness, this contract lasts forever. Embarking on the journey together, never betraying."
The next moment, two contracts formed by soul power appeared before everyone. Xiao Tian pointed his right hand's two fingers together at his forehead, and two spiritual imprints appeared within the contracts.
