"Let me remind you, you only have one chance. Otherwise, I can heal you, and I can take your life!"
Zi Linling's words were full of threats.
If it were before, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull would have ignored her, but now, heavily injured by Zi Linling in one move, it dared not treat her words lightly.
The surroundings fell silent, yet everyone could hear their own heartbeats.
The Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's intelligence was not low, and it quickly made its choice.
It retracted its true form, shrinking to the size of a normal yellow bull, and prostrated itself at Zi Linling's feet.
The meaning was unmistakable; it was willing to acknowledge Zi Linling as its master.
A look of envy appeared in the eyes of Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing.
Before Zi Linling could speak, Long'er and Xiao Hu stood on either side of the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull.
Long'er fiercely swung its dragon claws and transmitted a threatening message, "Are you sure you want to acknowledge my master? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you until you can't take care of yourself?"
Xiao Hu also transmitted with dangerous eyes, "I suggest you find someone else. Unless you want to be beaten by four divine beasts every day."
The Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull flinched its head, still trembling and prostrate at Zi Linling's feet.
"Very good!"
"Very good!"
Long'er's and Xiao Hu's transmitted messages resounded in the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's mind again.
The threat in their transmissions was obvious.
Zi Linling knew well the desire of Long'er and Xiao Hu to vie for her favor, and it was indeed not suitable for her to take the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull under her wing.
Thus, she shook her head and said, "I cannot be your master. You should choose someone else!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's amethyst eyes.
Amongst their demonic beasts, the strong always reigned supreme, and they only submitted to the strong.
Zi Linling, by heavily injuring the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull in one move, had completely subdued it.
Therefore, its submission to Zi Linling was only natural.
But now, Zi Linling refusing the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull and asking it to choose another master was an insult to it.
If it were anyone else, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull would have exploded on the spot.
But facing Zi Linling, it dared not object.
Thus, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's gaze swept back and forth between Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing.
Among the four, Rong Guang was the most composed, as he already possessed a Nine-Poison Yin Phosphorus Python, whose combat power was not much lower than the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull.
Xuanyuan Xun and Shen Liuxing were also very calm.
Xuanyuan Xun was calm because he possessed a royal demeanor; even if he desired it intensely, he had to maintain an attitude of accepting what comes and letting go of what goes.
Shen Liuxing's calmness, on the other hand, was because his attention was not on the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull.
As long as he could stay by Zi Linling's side, what did it matter if he had a contract beast or not?
Only Shangguan Yulin was extremely excited.
He had personally experienced the might of the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull.
The Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull, which could withstand hundreds of Vermillion Bird Flames without falling behind, clearly demonstrated its formidable power.
With his Vermillion Bird Feather Fan, if he were also aided by the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull, he would be like a tiger with wings. Sudancn.com
However, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's gaze lingered on Shangguan Yulin for a moment before disdainfully moving away.
Someone he couldn't even defeat, how could he be its master?
If Shangguan Yulin knew the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's true thoughts, how would he react?
The Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's gaze rested on Rong Guang for a moment before leaving again.
It possessed lightning and space attributes, while Rong Guang's poison and wood attributes would clash with its own. In battle, not only would they not complement each other, but they would also weaken their respective combat strengths.
Furthermore, there was an aura on Rong Guang that it found very repulsive, and that aura originated from Rong Guang's contract beast—the Nine-Poison Yin Phosphorus Python.
Therefore, Rong Guang was also excluded by the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull.
Between Xuanyuan Xun and Shen Liuxing, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull chose Xuanyuan Xun.
Firstly, Xuanyuan Xun's attribute was metal, which could complement lightning and cooperate with space.
Secondly, in the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's opinion, the noble aura emanating from Xuanyuan Xun was fitting for it.
After all, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull, which could be compared to dragons and phoenixes, had a noble status of its own.
Finally, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull approached Xuanyuan Xun, kneeling on its front hooves, awaiting to be contracted by Xuanyuan Xun.
The reason it did not prostrate itself as it had before Zi Linling was that its choice of Xuanyuan Xun was a reluctant one, made under pressure from Zi Linling, not because Xuanyuan Xun was so powerful that it was recognized by the bull.
"Not bad!"
Zi Linling nodded in appreciation and said, "A wise man adapts to circumstances. Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull, it seems you are not hopelessly foolish!"
Then, she smiled at Xuanyuan Xun and said, "Ninth Prince, since the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull is willing to acknowledge you as its master, then you should sign the contract!"
"This..."
Xuanyuan Xun hesitated, looking at Shangguan Yulin, Rong Guang, and Shen Liuxing.
Zi Linling understood his meaning and advised, "The Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's attributes match yours the best. Only by becoming partners can you unleash your strongest power in battle!"
"Yes! I'm good at using fire, and the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull isn't suitable for me!"
Shangguan Yulin, who had been somewhat disappointed, quickly said with a smile upon hearing Zi Linling's analysis.
At the same time, he didn't forget to transmit to Zi Linling, "Miss Zi, when will you help me contract a fire-attribute demonic beast?"
Zi Linling transmitted back with a hint of annoyance, "The Vermillion Bird Flame is a divine fire. If you can control it well, you can roam freely even without the cooperation of a fire-attribute demonic beast."
"Of course, if you encounter a fire-attribute demonic beast, I will also help you subdue it. After all, adding icing to the cake and a strong alliance is also good!"
Shangguan Yulin became even more excited upon receiving Zi Linling's reply.
Rong Guang also quickly said, "I have the Nine-Poison Yin Phosphorus Python that matches my attributes, which is enough. Ninth Uncle, please contract it quickly!"
He was a smart person and naturally understood the implications.
Moreover, they were all brothers. Whichever one the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull chose was his luck. Among brothers, they could not let a demonic beast cause discord.
"Ninth Uncle, since the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull has chosen you, please complete the contract quickly!"
Shen Liuxing, who had never paid much attention to the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull's allegiance, also urged with a smile.
Being able to fight alongside the person he loved was already a great honor.
Besides, his expertise was in sound attacks, and the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull was not suitable for him.
Seeing everyone's encouraging expressions, Xuanyuan Xun's heart felt warm.
He nodded and said, "Since that is the case, then I will respectfully accept. From now on, the Purple-Eyed Demonic Bull will be my contract demonic beast, as well as everyone's combat partner and brother!"
