Ch163 - This world would be done for sooner or later, okay!!! (2/2)
Xi didn’t know what had caused this, but he turned his gaze to the outside world for a little look. He discovered that people outside called the animals they loved ‘pets’, so Xi privately labelled this wolf cub as his own pet. Since he was now favored, there was naturally no need for the wolf cub to make its own way across thousands of miles to reach the central layer. Xi knew the uses of the Sacred Pool, so he could guess why Xue Ling wanted to come to the central layer. He simply arranged for the Meteorite Bird to bring the little fellow over, and watching the little fellow as he struggled to escape was very cute.
He was a god. The pet that he wanted to raise naturally couldn’t be any ordinary demonic beast. And a three-star beast who had had his demonic core destroyed due to the termination of a contract with a human being at that…
Xi’s eyes filled with killing intent as he recalled this. That was his pet! How could he have signed a contract with a human? Even if he has already broken the contract, he still can’t allow it. What if he still has thoughts about his master in his heart?
Unfortunately, an equal contract could only be signed if both sides agree. He currently had no way to control the wolf pup’s thoughts. Even if he could force him to stay, he still couldn’t make him agree to sign a contract with himself… He also didn’t want to sign a master-slave contract with him, feeling that he would definitely regret it in the future…

As countless thoughts passed through Xi’s mind, it had already become dark in the twinkling of an eye. He stood up, his gaze revealing his dissatisfaction as he glanced at the cold egg custard, but he did not open his mouth to criticize Xue Ling.
The wolf rolled, knocked his head on the edge of the little house and woke up in an instant. He was still in a daze as his legs kicked out, his head turned, and his nose almost hit the bowl of custard. Xi’s eyes softened a little, “It’s already night. You should go to the Sacred Pool.”
Xue Ling looked up at him fiercely. Although his big, watery eyes were still dazed from sleep, he still managed a glare before running out with his four short legs.
Xi didn’t know why, but he inexplicably had the urge to laugh. In fact, he was not really angry; very few people would go against him, and he felt that it was very interesting. But while he could accept the wolf pup going against him or getting angry at him, he could not allow Xue Ling to treat his body so carelessly.
If he still refused to eat the custard when he returned tonight, he would have to take some other measures.
He had observed a lot of ordinary people, and they seemed to have their own way of disciplining pets. Although he did not want to use those means to train the wolf pup, punishment was still possible.
The door had already been opened for Xue Ling, so he naturally ran outside without turning back. However, he had short legs, and his few running steps could only match up to two of Xi’s normal strides, so he was soon picked up and pressed against Xi’s chest again.

It was as though he was afraid that Xue Ling would learn the way to get out of here. Xi kept a hand over his eyes the whole way.
Xue Ling was left speechless. Although he was a demonic beast, he could already take on human form. Couldn’t he treat him like a person?
Later, he thought about being treated as a pet after he took on human form… wouldn’t that be even more terrible? So he silently confirmed his intention to continue his cold war with the man. If he wouldn’t let him see, then he’ll simply close his eyes. In any case, he would go against him however he could, and make him angry whenever he got the chance.
He needed a chance to negotiate. It would be better to confront him after he had soaked in the Sacred Pool a few times and had something to back up his courage.
The Sacred Pool that night was just as dreamlike as it had been the previous night. After Xue Ling was sent into the water, the water once again pushed him to the center of the pool. Xi seemed to have left the lakeside, so Xue Ling took on human shape and silently sank underwater. Although he could also cultivate while floating on the surface, he inexplicably felt that he would be taken advantage of that way.
The Sacred Pool’s water constantly washed over Xue Ling’s body and thoroughly change his physique from inside to outside. His hair gradually began to grow longer, and that was the ultimate proof that his strength was beginning to increase.
Perhaps he had really been angered by a certain man; Xue Ling was extremely diligent about cultivating, so when Xi picked up the wet wolf cub from the Sacred Pool the next day, he was passed out on the shore and didn’t even notice Xi’s approach.
Xi somewhat helplessly dried his fur, and then lifted the wolf cub into his arms. He thought about it, then lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the wolf cub’s furry forehead.
He brought Xue Ling back into the room, then poked the wolf pup’s cheek. He poked him until Xue Ling was filled with all kinds of impatience and finally opened his eyes, indignantly trying to bite his finger. Xi took advantage of his opened mouth and stuffed a spoon of custard straight inside.
The wolf pup hadn’t gathered his wits together yet – he was stunned for a tiny moment, then foolishly swallowed the custard down. Finally, his eyes opened incredulously as he glared at the man, then turned around and tried to spit out what he had just eaten.
Xi spoke indifferently from behind him, “If you don’t eat, I’ll crush your demonic core so that even the Sacred Pool can’t repair the damage. That way, you will become an ordinary demonic beast.”
The wolf cub froze for a while. After half a beat, Xi sighed helplessly and lifted him up by the scruff of his neck to bring him back against his chest. “Isn’t being my pet a good thing? I can give you strength and make you stronger. As long as it’s something you want, I can give it to you.”
Xue Ling did not open his mouth, and simply let the other party move him at will, his body stiff and motionless.
Xi looked down at him helplessly, only to find that the wolf pup’s eyes were empty, tears threatening in his damp eyes, his appearance pitiful. He could not possibly look more desolate. “You’re crying?” He was now in a state of panic. He really liked this little thing, and he liked it to an incredible extent. His previous indifferent attitude had all been a sham; now that the little guy was crying, how could he continue to be unmoved?

“I can’t stay here forever.” Xue Ling’s voice was full of suppressed crying, it sounded tragic, and made others’ hearts hurt. “I can’t be your pet. I still have things to do. If you don’t let me accomplish them, even if I turn into an ordinary beast, I’m still going to leave here and get revenge.”
Xi petted his head, and was silent for a moment. He compromised and said, “I can bring you out and help you get revenge, but on the premise that you agree to sign an equal contract with me. Also, even if you want to leave, it has to be half a month from now.”
System: “…” What happened to his cruel, black means? The Beast God compromised as soon as Xue Ling cried! How could he be the last god in the world? If gods were all as soft and kind as he was, this world would be done for sooner or later, okay!!!
Xue Ling turned his head away. He was no longer crying, but he apparently had no intention of accepting Xi’s request.
After so many worlds, he had long grasped the man’s weakness, which was himself. The best way to achieve what he wanted was to abuse himself; if all it took was to act pitiful, appear tragic, and cry dramatically in order to win during negotiations, he didn’t mind doing it again.
