Chapter 1352: Yun Jingqiu’s Contract Beast
"Ha ha." Ling Yun’s clone laughed at that. "Qiu’er, you are my daughter, and as your father, it is my duty to do my best for you. Therefore, you don’t need to thank me, and I am happy that you can become a cultivator. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with cultivation techniques, and you must find a cultivation method that suits you by yourself."
"Uhm." Yun Jingqiu nodded slightly and buried her face in his chest. "You are the best father, and I am lucky to have you as my father, Father."
Ling Yun’s clone smiled at that and hugged his daughter’s back. "You, your brothers, and your sisters are also the best kids, and I’m lucky to have all of you. Since you have become a cultivator, I will take you to find a beast contract. What kind of beast do you want to accompany and protect you, Qiu’er?"
"Since I’m a dark phoenix, and I can fly on my own even without cultivation, I don’t want a flying beast. Instead, I want an aquatic beast that can take me diving into the sea." Yun Jingqiu then spent some time considering various types of beasts. "Father, I heard that seahorses are cute. I’d like to get one if there’s any here. If there isn’t, I want one that’s similar to an otter."
Ling Yun’s clone raised her head and looked at her in amusement. Why do you want either a seahorse or an otter?"
"They’re cute!"
"Haha." Ling Yun’s clone laughed at her answer before carrying her out of bed. He then took his daughter away through the window. "I don’t know if those two beasts exist in this domain, but I will take you to check out the nearby sea."
"Yes."

Later, they reached the only sea in the domain, which was different from others because its water was black. Although they couldn’t see the inside clearly, Ling Yun’s clone detected many aquatic beasts inside.
Ling Yun’s clone immediately contacted the water dragon, Long Shuiya, to meet them. With her extremely high cultivation, she arrived at their side in just a few minutes. "What are you looking for here, Master?"
"Qiu’er wants an aquatic beast contract, but she wants one that is similar to a seahorse or an otter." After Ling Yun’s clone said that, Long Shuiya looked at Yun Jingqiu with an amused smile. "Are there beasts like those two in this sea?"
"Unfortunately, there are no beasts like them in this sea, Master. However, I know a beast that would be perfect for the first young miss’s beast contract, and she would surely love her." Yun Jingqiu looked disappointed, but Long Shuiya immediately rubbed her head. "Don’t worry, first young miss. I promise that you will like the beast, and she can take you to have fun in the sea."
Yun Jinqqiu nodded slightly. "Please bring me to her, Aunt Shuiya."
"Sure." Long Shuiya immediately crouched down by the sea and touched the water’s surface. In a few seconds, the black sea split into two, revealing a wide path in front of them. "Let’s meet her."
Ling Yun’s clone immediately led his daughter to follow Long Shuiya, and they could finally see many types of aquatic life in the water on either side of them. However, Yun Jingqiu showed no interest in them, and she was impatient to meet the beast referred to by the water dragon.
After they had walked for a long time, they arrived in front of a cave in the middle of the ocean with stairs going down. Long Shuiya immediately led them to enter the place until they arrived at a fairly large room underground, where a silver fish was sleeping in a pool of clear water unlike the seawater.
"Father, the beast is beautiful!" Yun Jingqiu exclaimed in admiration as soon as she saw the fish. "Aunt Shuiya, what kind of beast is she?"
Long Shuiya smiled at that. "Her name is Yue Lian, and she is the Moon Carp Beast. Do you like her, first young miss?"
"Uhm." Yun Jingqiu nodded her head. "Why does she live in this black sea, Aunt?"
"There are no other seas in this domain, so she lives here. I helped her build this place, and I also used a small formation to block the seawater from entering here." Yun Jingqiu nodded to Long Shuiya. "Actually, she isn’t a beast native to this domain, and I met her several thousand years ago. Since she lived alone in her previous domain, I brought her to this domain."
Sensing their arrival, the Moon Carp opened her eyes and looked at them, but she was surprised to see Ling Yun’s clone and Yun Jingqiu. "Who are they, Big Sis Shuiya? Why did you bring them to my place?"
"Come out and return to your human form first, Yue Lian."
A silvery aura enveloped Yue Lian’s body as she jumped out of the pool. In a few seconds, she had transformed into her human form, making Ling Yun’s clone amazed by her figure.
Yue Lian has a soft and beautiful face. Her large eyes were gentle, with a dreamy gaze. Her hair was long, flowing, and silvery-white. It reached past her waist and looked silky and light. A small star-shaped mark rests on her forehead. Her lips were full, thick, and slightly rosy. She has long eyebrows that match her silver hair. She has long, pointed, elf-like ears.
Yue Lian was wearing a shimmering light blue dress that fit snugly around her chest. The dress has a cutout design, with crisscrossing straps and a star decoration at the center. Her chest is full and well-defined, shown tastefully by the elegant outfit. She has a curvy figure with a slim waist and long legs.
"Wow! You’re so pretty and sexy, Aunt!" Yun Jingqiu exclaimed in praise.
Yue Lian didn’t respond to Yun Jingqiu and raised her eyebrows, mainly because of Ling Yun’s clone’s hot gaze over her body. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and straightened her lower dress. "Who is this pervert guy? Why did you bring such a pervert here, Big Sis Shuiya?"
"Hehe." Yun Jingqiu giggled and spoke to her father. "Father, she called you a pervert!"
Ling Yun’s clone nodded slightly and shamelessly admitted it. "You’re right, Yue Lian. I’m a pervert, and I can’t wait to eat a little crap like you."
"You—"
"Yue Lian, Ling Yun is my master." Yue Lian looked at Long Shuiya in shock. "He is the sole heir of the Primordial Chaos Dragon, so he is my master, and he is the new owner of this domain. By the way, I brought them here because my first young miss wanted to look for her beast contract, and she wanted an aquatic beast as one. Since you don’t have any family, and you continue to live alone here, I think you can consider it."
Yue Lian frowned after hearing that, and she wanted to reject it, but Yun Jingqiu immediately jumped down from Ling Yun’s clone’s embrace and ran towards her. "Aunt Lian, please become my contract beast."
"I—"
"Please." Yun Jingqiu put on puppy eyes, making Yue Lian waver slightly. "Aunt, I really want to have an aquatic beast as my contract beast, and I really like your beast form. Moreover, you must be lonely to continue living here alone, right? If you become my contract beast, you can live with us, and you will get a new family who loves you very much. Additionally, my father possesses many fascinating items that can help you grow stronger, so I hope you are willing to consider my request."
Long Shuiya spoke straight away. "Yue Lian, my first young miss is not an ordinary girl, but she is a mythical beast, the Dark Phoenix."
"What?" Yue Lian shouted so loud that it echoed inside. "Dark... Dark phoenix! Wasn’t that beast race exterminated by the Primordial Chaos Dragon? How could that race still exist?"
"You are right that the Dark Phoenix Race should have been extinct long ago." Long Shuiya then pointed to Ling Yun’s clone. "However, my master has a special technique, and he accidentally transformed one of his wives into the Dark Phoenix. My first young miss was their daughter; she inherited her mother’s bloodline and was born as the Dark Phoenix."
Yue Lian looked at Ling Yun’s clone in shock and horror, especially since the Dark Phoenix was so notorious that it forced the Primordial Chaos Dragon to eliminate them. However, he created not just one but two.
Ling Yun’s clone immediately took out several beast pills and showed them to Yue Lian. "These pills are potent for beasts like you, and I will give them to you if you are willing to become Qiu’er’s beast contract. As she told you before, there are so many people by our side, and I can guarantee that we will love you like our family, so you will never be lonely again."
Even though she didn’t know their effects yet, Yue Lian was interested in the pills, but her expression clearly showed her hesitation.
Long Shuiya spoke to her again. "I know you don’t want to be tied down to anyone, but I dare say that your future will be much better if you are willing to accept my first young miss as your master."
"Aunt Lian, please become my beast contract. I promise I will always treat you well, and I will not make you regret it." Yun Jingqiu begged as she shed tears, softening Yue Lian’s heart.
’Who taught Qiu’er to pretend like that?’ Ling Yun’s clone muttered to himself.
Yue Lian let out a soft sigh, crouched down in front of Yun Jingqiu, and wiped away her tears. "Will you really treat me well?"
"I promise I’ll treat you well, Aunt." Yun Jingqiu gave her a determined nod.
Yue Lian sighed once more and pressed their foreheads together. "Alright, I’ll be your contract beast, and you have to treat me well."
