Starting With Contract Pets

"Speak rationally, it's obviously you who coveted my fish first and wanted to rob me. How could I be the shameless one in the end!" Su Bai said indignantly!

"Shut up, meow! It's your honor to be robbed by me! D*mn humans!"

"Then do you want this Nihility Koi? I'll throw it away if you don't."

"Meow~ Give it to me!"

The big, orange cat snatched the Nihility Koi from him and immediately ate it viciously.

Su Bai mobilized his contract book to condense a shield, which was formed by the power of the Starry Omnivore Kraken and the mermaid Recorder of All Things. It barely resisted the terrifying pressure from the ancient artifacts in the sky.

"Are you okay?" he helped Chen Ruoxue up and asked with concern.

"I'm okay." She shook her head, glancing at the big, orange cat staying on the high platform. She turned her head back and said, "Judging by its appearance, I'm afraid that it really finds it disdainful to be with us."

"Let's try again; we can't force the cat if it continues to refuse."

He sighed. Although this big, orange cat had no fighting capacity, it could obtain some powerful treasures, which had been lost in the void through its special abilities.

These treasures were useless to the top powerhouses, but the threat to him was indeed not small.

"If you really look down on me and don't want to be partners, then I won't force you. Please just send me out.

"After I'm out, I can give you all the Nihility Koi as a gift. Anyway, it's useless if I keep them."

He looked up at the big, orange cat, which had eaten the Nihility Koi.

Once it had finished eating it, a translucent white streamer appeared out of thin air and merged into its body!

"Meow~ Are you telling the truth?"

The big, orange cat raised its head when it heard this.

"Of course, I've always kept my promises. If you don't believe me, I can also swear before a Void Oath." He nodded.

Although this place had very big secrets, which were related to the end of some eras and worlds, this was not something he could explore with his current strength.

Without the big, orange cat, this place was meaningless to him. Instead of spending time here, it was better to go out and explore other areas.

There should be a lot of treasures in Kunlun Ruins, and many more places to explore.

"Meow~ Then you swear before a Void Oath now."

The big, orange cat did not believe him. How could this human so kindly give it millions of Nihility Koi? He must be deceiving it.

Su Bai glanced at the cat, released his rare Void Oath with time attribute, and swore on it.

"Are you satisfied now?" He glanced at the cat.

The big, orange cat, which had been very excited just now, no longer spoke and just stared at him.

It seemed to have received a shock following his decisive move.

"Small and weak human, it's not impossible for you to sign a contract with me, but first you must prove that you have a bright future.

"Take a look in the long river of time; your future has been cut off. If you can't escape the shackles of time, you'll only have less than a year to live!"

The big, orange cat looked down at him and fished out an ancient time artifact.

This artifact had the appearance of a corona, and its body exuded a mottled ancient breath. It emitted a faint light and seemed to merge with Su Bai's breath of fate. Finally, it turned into a breath of majestic time curtain in mid-air.

In the light curtain was a long river with no visible length and width. Most of its area was shrouded by a gray mist. In the river, majestic water flowed onward.

There seemed to be something black surging under the turbulent water, which looked like a riverbed or something.

The projection was too blurry to be distinguished at all.

"Pay attention to yourself; do you see that golden fish? That's you.

"In the Long River of Time, every existence that can't break free of time is in the form of a fish. These fish come in large or small sizes and are all of different colors. They represent the truest self.

"Driven by the torrent of time, all the fishes are being carried forward. It's meaningless for you to struggle weakly on the scale of time," the big, orange cat said indifferently.

Su Bai looked up and saw that the golden fish was swimming forward with the current.

In addition to the special color of this fish, its size could only be regarded as upper-middle class in the water. There were some bigger fish beside it, but even the largest fish that emerged on the river surface was not larger than those in the hidden waters.

In the depths of the river, the big fish that occasionally showed up was like a submarine compared to his small carp. Su Bai's fish looked too insignificant.

It could be found that in the long river, the surface water was the most turbulent and the flow velocity was fast. Hence, the fish here had no resistance at all.

The water velocity in the deeper part was obviously much slower, and the fish inside also had more power. Some could not only change their direction but could even stay where they were, free from the constraints of time.

"It's really interesting, worthy of being the long river of time."

Su Bai studied the little goldfish that represented him more closely. All around the little carp were strange fish with mouths and sharp teeth. Looking carefully, many big fish akin to great white sharks in the deep water were floating around the little goldfish.

In addition to that, the little goldfish was covered with several layers of pale scarlet mist. In front of it, huge unidentified vortexes, with cut-off ends, could be seen. The water flowed on both sides, but no more water or shadow of time could be seen ahead.

"Does that cut-off end mean that I'm going to die? I just died once a while ago. Have I also experienced a cut-off?"

Su Bai could not help but smile and was not frightened by this scene. Fate was unpredictable, and his future would always be unknown. Maybe today's smooth road would be the sky trench tomorrow, or maybe the predicament of today's death would be solved tomorrow.

Some things were viewed through rose-tinted glasses. In the struggle to cross the red dust, even if it was just a wave, he should move forward courageously. Even if the path ahead was a sky moat, it was not known whether he could be a carp that leaped over the dragon's gate and turned its fate into some sort of good fortune or something else.

This did not scare him, though.

"You've fallen into a huge vortex; the existence you've provoked is too terrifying."

The big, orange cat looked at Su Bai.

"Do you see the three layers of pale scarlet mist around your body? Those are the marks put on you by the existence of three sequence camps, and the blood color means that you've been designated by them as prey."

The cat glanced at the young man. This weak human has yet to realize the seriousness of the matter.. I must let him know how miserable he will end up in the future.
