“Lingxi Era 4196, December 16, clear weather.”

“Today is my sixth birthday, mom promised to buy me a contractual beast. At the Beast Contract Trading Market, we found a strange-looking little monkey with a red head and white feet, his eyes were dazed, and he was inexplicably cute.”

“The little monkey is locked in a cage, it’s pitiful. I want to buy it. After mom asked the shopkeeper, he mysteriously said that the little monkey, just like the legendary Xiang Liu, is a genetic throwback with enormous potential.”

“But mom is smart, she saw the monkey was dumb and couldn’t possibly be like Xiang Liu.”

“Mom haggled with the shopkeeper using this point, and quickly bought the little monkey.”

“I signed a contract with the little monkey and named it Yanyan.”

“Yanyan, even though we’ve signed a master-servant contract, I will definitely treat you as my best friend.”

“Lingxi Era 4197, September 1, clear weather.”

“Starting from now, Xiao Dong is a first-grader. I hate that the school doesn’t allow me to bring Yanyan.”

“If the school doesn’t allow it, I will secretly bring Yanyan. Mom says I will make many good friends at school, and Yanyan will definitely also make good friends.”

“Lingxi Era 4197, September 2, light rain.”

“The teacher is so mean, as soon as I showed Yanyan to my friends, the teacher thought that Yanyan was dangerous and locked him in an iron cage. It wasn’t until mom came to pick me up from school, that Yanyan was given back to me.”

“Mom lectured me.”

“Today was very depressing, it seems like I forgot to feed Yanyan. I don’t know if the teacher fed him while he was locked up.”

“It’s too late now; I’ll feed Yanyan tomorrow.”

“Lingxi Era 4200, March 19, cloudy.”

“Yanyan is so amazing, he helped me to reach the ninth level of Qi Cultivation so quickly.”

“Dad is finally back home, I asked him where he had been all this time.”

“Dad says he’s a designer of air-raid shelters and had been working on building one. An air-raid shelter is a very sturdy house.”

“I asked dad why he needed to construct an air-raid shelter instead of coming home to see me.”

“Dad said although we control magical beasts using a master-servant contract, but what’s not of our kind, something… magical beasts may break free and attack humans.”

“If magical beasts find a way to break the contract, humans would be in danger.”

“So, humans have to prepare in advance, at least to have the ability to fight back when attacked by magical beasts.”

“Dad’s air-raid shelter is a means of preparing in advance.”

“Adults worry too much, magical beasts are our good friends. We treat them so well, providing food, drink, and living conditions. How could they attack us?”

“You agree, don’t you, Yanyan.”

“Lingxi Era 4208, September 1, clear weather.”

“Starting today, I’m officially a college student studying Beast Tamer Combat.”

“Thanks to Yanyan, I smoothly passed the live-action exam, entered Imperial Capital University, and became the most popular Beast Tamer Combat student.”

“After graduating from Beast Tamer Combat, you can become a combatant and participate in various competitions. With unbeatable Yanyan, I will definitely continue to win in future competitions.”

“Lingxi Era 4208, October 21, heavy rain.”

“I learned a lot from the professor, there is so much knowledge in Beast Tamer Combat.”

“In battles, the life you should protect first is your own; contractual beasts are inherently strong, they don’t need our protection. What we can do is to let contractual beasts fight hard, tap into their potential, and let their lives burn with passion in the fight.”

“But what breed is Yanyan? Even the professor doesn’t know. Could Yanyan truly be like the legendary Xiang Liu, the genetic throwback of some powerful magical beast?”

“Lingxi Era 4212, June 4, cloudy.”

“A year after graduation, I chose the most prestigious and rewarding type of combat—combat with a contractual beast.”

“Yanyan is so awesome, he’s helped me reach the Golden Core Stage, at just 23 years old! Maybe I really can reach immortality with Yanyan’s help?”

“Yanyan’s combat strength is still as impressive as ever, his perfect winning rate sends chills down our opponents’ spines. We have built up quite a reputation, and many advertisers have come to discuss cooperation.”

“Lingxi Era 4215, August 10, clear weather.”

“Yanyan embarrassed me. He failed to protect me in combat, and even lost the match. I’m not feeding him today.”

“I feel that Yanyan’s combat strength has been declining recently, is it because we’ve been fighting every day?”

“I’ll participate in some more matches to see the situation. If Yanyan becomes listless again, I’ll let him rest for a few days.”

“Yanyan, don’t betray my kindness, I consider you my best friend.”

“You look at other Beast Tamers; they either beat or scold their contractual beasts, only I treat you well. You should know that other contractual beasts envy you!”

“Lingxi Era 4280, January 29, moderate snow.”

“Yanyan ruined me! I hate him!”

“In the large-scale combat, Yanyan killed people, killed several people!”

“Yanyan has reached the Body Integration Realm, he has gained spiritual intelligence, he can talk, he even talked back! He says it was my command!”

“How is that possible? Even if I was angry and lost control at the time, I would never give such an order.”

“Besides, can’t Yanyan disobey my commands? He does whatever I say, what a fool.”

“Lingxi Era 4281, January 30, heavy snow.”

“The highest leader came to see me in person.”

“He said that I have made a fortune and gained fame with help from Yanyan. I have reached the peak in wealth and fame. This might be a good opportunity to duck out.”

“I also want to withdraw, although there are many competitions in the Lingxi World. It is very rare for people to die during a competition, it’s a taboo. But Yanyan killed several people in public. What should I do?”

“The highest leader said that we are both at the Body Integration Realm, and cultivation is not easy. As long as I submit to him, he is willing to clear my charges.”

“The highest leader’s position is unstable now, and he needs my support as the world champion. I considered for a moment and agreed.”

“The highest leader said I can shift all the blame to Yanyan, saying that Yanyan lost control due to his beastly nature. I, as his master, was helpless.”

“Since he will be put on public trial for his guilt, after Yanyan is executed, this event would be over.”

“Although it’s not fair to Yanyan, it’s Yanyan’s fault.”

“Yanyan, I treated you like my best friend, you should understand my predicament.”

“That night, I wanted to talk to Yanyan about this but did not have the courage.”

“It seemed like someone was speaking in Yanyan’s room. They claimed to be Du Ye. Without my permission, Yanyan is secretly talking to others!”

“It doesn’t matter anymore, Yanyan is on the brink of death, letting him be free for a few days should be good. What is the use of Du Ye?”
