Samsara Online

Xie Feng called Ferghana’s horse and after jumping onto the beast’s back, he began to ride towards his destination. At the same time, Xie Feng let Ling Long out of the pet space and hugged her small body.

Although he would be able to reach his target destination sooner if he rode on Ling Long in her increased size, currently Xie Feng was not in such a hurry and instead preferred to have a moment of peace to think about many things.

Ferghana’s horse lifted a cloud of dust as it rushed towards the distant horizon, disappearing from the sight of some monsters in a few blinks of an eye. The speed of this type of horse was fast enough to leave the vast majority of beasts eating dust after adding to Xie Feng’s unnatural movement speed.

In fact, Xie Feng didn’t even bother to activate any skills to increase his normal movement speed and let Ferghana’s horse run at base speed... Yesterday, just before disconnecting, Xie Feng was in a hurry and was very excited to reach his destination, but the current him no longer felt like rushing and the excitement had inevitably dimmed a bit in comparison.

Ling Long seemed to have noticed that her master’s mind was fidgeting. She used her two small claws to caress his chest while making extremely tender little sounds. Her little eyes now as blue as the cloudless sky looked at him with worry and anxiety.

There were different ways a player could obtain a pet.

The most direct way, as well as the most normal, was undoubtedly to use the force. When a player defeated a monster, there was a small chance that this monster would drop a pet egg. After obtaining the pet egg, the player just had to wait a while for the shell to break. The time depended on the grade of the pet, so if it was a grade 1, 2, or 3 pet, a few hours of waiting was enough. However, if it was a grade 4 or 5 pet, then waiting a couple of days was not unusual.

The higher the grade, the longer the wait. Of course, this waiting time was absolutely worth it.

The second way to get a pet was to catch it. When players were lucky enough to meet a monster that was not yet fully grown and was in its infant stages, they could create a peer-to-peer bond. This way it was more correct to say that instead of a pet, the beast became a kind of companion for the battle. Although it was more difficult to come across this type of opportunity and the chances of success were much lower compared to the first method, players did not need to wait hours, days, or weeks for the pet to hatch.

The third method of obtaining a pet was extremely rare and happened when a beast willingly approached a human being expressing its desire to become his pet. The reason why this method was so rare was because unless something unforeseen happened or extremely harsh conditions were met, it was absolutely impossible for a beast to be willing to lose much of its power to become a player’s pet.

You should know that when a beast became a player’s pet, it automatically lost a great part of its power! An immortal grade beast could have millions of HP but an immortal grade pet could only have a few thousand. This was a clear example of how much the beasts that became pets were weakened.

However, sometimes, these unknown and extremely rare requirements where a beast would willingly approach a player, did happen. As happened with Gu Qianxue, for example. The Abyssal Black Fox had willingly submitted itself, becoming Gu Qianxue’s pet.

Such cases were called Soul Contract.

Soul Contract, as the name suggested, created an extremely powerful bond between the player and the pet. Because extremely tough requirements had been met, the beast that had become a pet of its own free will saw its new master as its closest relative; not even its own parents could compare.

This kind of Soul Contract was precisely the kind of bond between Xie Feng and Ling Long.

From the first moment Ling Long had become his pet, Xie Feng could feel the warmth of Ling Long’s soul. It was as if his soul and Ling Long’s soul were hugging each other unwilling to let go, creating an extremely close bond between the two of them. Therefore, in a sense it could be said that Ling Long was Xie Feng’s closest existence.

Precisely because the souls of the two were linked, Ling Long could feel the agitation and pain that Xie Feng was feeling in his heart. This greatly saddened the little dragoness.

Xie Feng hugged Ling Long and pulled her to him as he asked, "Ling Long, aren’t you curious to know about your parents?"

"Puuh?" Ling Long tilted her little head in confusion. She didn’t know what parents was. When she was inside the shell, she didn’t know what was going on inside or outside. The first living existence Ling Long met in her life was Xie Feng. With just one glance she had immediately become enchanted with him so she immediately asked to become his pet. That way, she could be close no matter where he went.

To Ling Long, Xie Feng was everything. As for parents, she didn’t know anything about that.

Xie Feng didn’t expect an answer from Ling Long either. He simply felt like talking to someone and being heard. Even if he was not understood, he just wanted to discard what was holding him back so that he could continue to move forward with solid steps.

"Although I have no special feeling of affection for whoever my parents were due to the fact that I can’t remember them, I still wonder what happened." Xie Feng cherished the scales and confessed. Ling Long’s scales felt really soft, it was like the hair of a human being instead of looking like dragon scales.

"I did something that made them angry? But what could an innocent little boy who hadn’t even reached the early stages of adolescence do?... Did something bad happen? Maybe they simply decided to abandon me because they didn’t want me?...." Xie Feng continued to say aloud all the questions in his head with his somewhat dejected look.

If his parents had abandoned him just because they didn’t want him, then Xie Feng would no longer bother with them. However, if there were other reasons, then he really wanted to know what those reasons were.

It was impossible to say that he did not have a bit of resentment towards his unknown parents in his heart. After all, he had been abandoned and kicked around worse than a stray dog... However, things changed after Xie Feng saw those strange scenes.

Even if he was not sure whether that woman was his mother or not, that inexplicable feeling of closeness was impossible to be false.

That unknown woman was looking at that little boy with eyes overflowing with love. If she was really his mother, how could she then have thrown him out of the house? Xie Feng believed that something must have happened.

Besides, what about the rest of the people he had seen? What was that white-bone color aura surrounding that boy? The clothes they wore were also different from the clothes worn by the people on Earth; if Xie Feng had to compare, those clothes were similar to the clothes of the immortals seen in the painting of the immortals crossing the ocean.

There definitely had to be an answer to all his questions. Even if he had to dig to the core of the planet to unearth them he would do so.

Xie Feng’s eyes flashed with a hint of determination and an implacable gaze pierced through them. As if sensing the change in his mood, Ling Long began to shake a little to free herself from his embrace.

When Xie Feng finally released her, Ling Long’s body began to flash and in a few seconds she had turned into a beauty with an extremely sensual body and a face that could provoke war between two nations if these were ancient times.

Ling Long had turned into her human form and, still sitting on Xie Feng’s lap, she hugged him tightly, wrapping her slender milk-white arms around his neck. She looked at him with her two bright blue eyes and said in an extremely clear voice, "Big brother, I love you very much!"

Xie Feng was dumbfounded. Before, he had been teaching Ling Long to speak for many hours. Every day he would take advantage of the 5 hours in which the Illusory Light Body skill allowed Ling Long to turn into her human form and patiently taught her word by word.

But even after so many hours, Ling Long could not speak without hindrance. Even to say "big brother" her words faltered. However, for the first time, today there was a change. A breakthrough.

After coming out of his daze, Xie Feng hugged the little beauty back and smiled happily as he said, "Ling Long, you can finally say more than one word without any problems! Haha, that’s good! Very good!"

Ling Long smiled delightedly. She closed both her eyes and happily enjoyed the warmth she felt and bathed in Xie Feng’s compliments.

For Ling Long, Xie Feng’s praise was the sweetest candy. She could do anything and was capable of going to great lengths just to receive a nice word from him.
