Chapter 2020 - Mu Ningxues Third Element (2/2)

The little cub immediately looked up. She stared at the Night Rakshasa with wide glittering eyes.

The Night Rakshasa had no choice but to withdraw her claws.

She did not feel like hitting or scolding the little cub. She ran away as quickly as she could from the troublesome kid. To everyone’s surprise, the little cub was extremely quick too! She was able to catch up to the Night Rakshasa no matter where she ran to.

“The little cub is pretty strong!” Mo Fan blurted out in surprise.

No wonder the little cub was perfectly safe in the eagles’ nest. She was just as fast as the Night Rakshasa!

The little cub enjoyed playing with the Night Rakshasa, which almost drove the Night Rakshasa mad. Why did they bring along such an annoying little creature? She was struggling to shake the cub off, who was chasing her like a second tail.

Luckily, the little cub was just a kid. She soon fell asleep after she was done having fun. The little cub wanted to sleep in Mu Ningxue’s arms, but Mo Fan disagreed with it.

“That’s my place. Off you go,” Mo Fan angrily shoved the little cub into Jiang Shaoxu’s arms.

Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Mo Fan. Must he really say that out loud?

“Xuexue, her attributes fit nicely with yours, and she’s particularly fond of you too. I’m pretty sure she is willing to go with you,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan believed things would be a lot simpler once Mu Ningxue adopted the little cub. It would only be a matter of time until they secured the Night Amethyst.

Mu Ningxue shook her head, like something was bothering her.

“I can tell you are troubled. Tell me about it,” Mo Fan said.

Mu Ningxue stared at the campfire. She was lost in her thoughts while her eyes were fixed on the flickering flames, but eventually realized Mo Fan was still looking at her. She replied after a slight hesitation, “My Contract is a Death Contract.”

“Death Contract?” Mo Fan had never heard of the term before.

“As the Ice Crystal Bow is being repaired, it will obtain its own soul. I’ve bound my Contract to it just so I can control it better, so my Third Element is basically non-existent,” Mu Ningxue explained.

Mu Ningxue rarely mentioned her Third Element to anyone, but the little cub had reminded her of what happened on Tianshan Mountain when she first came here.

“What’s your Third Element?” Mo Fan asked.

“Summoning Element,” Mu Ningxue replied.

“Huh? I’ve never seen your Summoned Beast,” Mo Fan exclaimed.

“It’s my fault that it has become a Death Contract…” Mu Ningxue sighed.

“What do you mean by a Death Contract?”

“My soul is bound with the Ice Crystal Bow. You do know how challenging and torturous it is for me to control the Ice Crystal Bow. If I sign a Contract with other creatures, they would have to go through the same challenges and pain…” Mu Ningxue’s voice softened. She was obviously recalIing something painful, “Do you remember Qin Yu’er? The woman who was frozen in the Scar of Tianshan Mountain?”
