Chapter 1353: Light Elemental Law
After the contract between them was established, Yu Jingqiu immediately ran to the pool to see the silver carp mark on her forehead. The mark’s presence brought a delighted smile to her face. She rubbed it and spoke to Yue Lian. "Thank you, Aunt Lian. I’m glad you are willing to become my beast contract."
’Did I really make the right decision?’ Yue Lian raised an eyebrow when Ling Yun’s clone stretched out his hand to her, and there were several beast pills on his palm. He then explained the effects of each pill to her, which shocked and excited her at the same time. "Are you really going to give these precious pills to me?"
"You are Qiu’er’s contract beast, so you are part of my family, and I will always treat all my family well. You can swallow these pills in the order I just explained, and you will like their effects. I will leave my daughter here, and Long Shuiya will take you two to the palace after you finish swallowing the pills, so you will stay with us after this." Ling Yun’s clone grabbed her hand and placed the pills in her palm. "Qiu’er, I’ll leave you here, and you can have some fun with Yue Lian first."
"Yes, Father." After Ling Yun’s clone left, Yun Jingqiu immediately took off her dress and jumped into the clearwater pool. "Wow! This water is really cool, but it’s still inferior to the water in the mysterious lake.
"The mysterious lake?" Yue Lian turned to Long Shuiya, who immediately explained to her about the lake. "By the way, why is my little master’s cultivation still at the Lower Spiritualist Realm?"
Long Shuiya released a soft sigh. "My first young miss was born with mutated spiritual veins, and Tu Shen only finished helping her modify her veins today; thus, her cultivation is only at the initial stage. Unlike her, her three brothers and little sister have already reached the Core Realm; even my master’s youngest daughter has already reached the Peak Spirit Master Realm since she was born."
"Huh?" Yue Lian was stunned when she heard that. "Did I hear correctly? Has your master’s youngest daughter’s cultivation reached the Peak Spirit Master Realm since she was born?"
"You heard correctly. My third young miss was born with a cultivation that had already reached the Peak Spirit Master Realm. Moreover, she never stopped cultivating, and her body automatically absorbed Qi from the air. If I’m not mistaken, she will break through to the Lower Great Spirit Master Realm soon." Long Shuiya’s explanation greatly shocked Yue Lian, especially since there had never been a baby born with cultivation, let alone a baby with a body that could absorb Qi automatically. "Swallow the pills now; you will experience significant changes after absorbing their effects."
"Alright." Yue Lian went straight to her spot and swallowed the pill according to Ling Yun’s clone’s previous instructions.
On the other hand, Long Shuiya took off her dress and joined Yun Jinqqiu at the pool. "Are you satisfied with your contract beast, First Young Miss?"
"I’m very satisfied, Aunt Shuiya." Yun Jingqiu swam in front of Long Shuiya and hugged her. "Aunt Lian is really pretty and strong."
"Hehe." Long Shuiya chuckled. "Not only do you like Yue Lian, but your father also likes her, and he can’t wait to eat her."
"Haha." Yun Jinqiu laughed as she looked at Yue Lian, who was seriously swallowing the pills. "When my father’s real body returns, I’m sure he will eat Aunt Lian directly, and she will be addicted to dual cultivating with him, like you and the others."
"Your father is too experienced and skilled in dual cultivation, so we are addicted to doing it with him. Unfortunately, his cultivation is still in the Five God Realms, so he can’t eat me and the others for real yet." Long Shuiya then asked her. "Do you want to look for a second contract beast, First Young Miss? There is another aquatic beast that suits you, but she is not as calm or as kind as Yue Lian. She’s quite fierce and hot-headed, but she’s just as strong as me."
"What kind of beast are you referring to, Aunt Shuiya?" Long Shuiya waved her hand, and the beast that appeared on the Qi screen caused Yun Jingqiu’s jaw to drop. "A manta ray! She’s so huge!"
"Hahaha." Long Shuiya burst into laughter upon hearing that. "Fu Fengyi is a Soul-Eyed Ray Beast, and her eyes can see many extraordinary things that no one else can see. If you want her to be your contract beast, I will help you to make a contract with her."
"No." Yun Jingqiu refused with a shake of her head. "I’m not like Brother Longhun, and I’m satisfied with having Aunt Lian as my contract beast. However, my father will probably like Fu Fengyi, so you should take her to him, Aunt Shuiya."
Long Shuiya nodded slightly. "You’re right, your father might like her, so I’ll contact her and ask her to come to the castle after he comes home."
Sometime later, Yue Lian finished swallowing the pills, and her expression was joyful after she had fully recovered from the effects, which significantly improved her performance in several aspects.
Long Shuiya immediately carried Yun Jingqiu out of the pool and helped her get dressed before getting dressed herself. "Are you satisfied with their effects?"
"Completely satisfied!" Yue Lian answered with an exclamation of joy. "Is your master an alchemist? How could he have such pills?"
"Hey! My master is your master now, so you should start calling him as such." Yue Lian simply nodded to Long Shuiya. "Our master is an alchemist and a blacksmith, but he doesn’t focus too much on alchemy. Instead, some of his wives are renowned alchemists, such as Madam Feng Ruxue, Madam Su Fei, and several others. Otherwise, Madam Hu Yue will worry about our first young miss."
"Yeah." Yue Lian herself was curious about their extended family, especially since she was Yun Jingqiu’s contract beast now.

Not long after, they arrived at the palace, and Yun Jingqiu immediately pulled Yue Lian to meet her mother, Hua Ning. However, they ran into Yun Shengxia and Cai Hong. "Eh? Aren’t you sleeping, Sister Qiu? Why are you here now? Who is this pretty aunt? Is she our father’s new wife?"
Yun Shengxia’s last question left Yue Lian speechless, making Yun Jingqiu laugh before explaining it to Yun Shengxia. "Aunt Lian, Sister Shengxia is my little sister, but we are only a few hours apart in age. The woman next to her is her beast contract, Big Sis Cai Hong, the Luminous Unicorn."
"I know her." Yue Lian nodded slightly. "I didn’t expect you to choose her to be your master, Hong."
"Haha." Cai Hong softly laughed. "My master has the Holy Sacred Body, which she inherited from her mother. Therefore, she is the best master for me, and my abilities can increase the potential of her light element."
Yue Lian immediately observed Yun Shengxia’s body before nodding in understanding. "Her light element is indeed strong and pure, even though her cultivation is still very low. If her cultivation reaches our level, her light element will become even stronger, so the two of you truly complement each other."
"Yeah." Cai Hong gave a light nod.
"Sister Xia! We will play together later, and I will take Aunt Lian to see my mother first." After saying this, Yun Jingqiu immediately pulled Yue Lian away, leaving Cai Hong and Yun Shengxia, who went straight to another area.

"Mother!" Yun Jingqiu immediately ran towards Hua Ning, who sat on the side of the bed, before jumping onto her lap. "Mother, she is Aunt Yue Lian, and she is the Moon Carp Beast."
"Your father already told me about her, so I’ve been waiting for you all along." Hua Ning rubbed her daughter’s head and looked at Yue Lian. "Thank you for agreeing to be my daughter’s contract beast."
"No need," Yue Lian replied with a shake of her head as she sat down beside them. "Honestly, I still can’t believe you two are Dark Phoenixes, especially since that race has long been extinct. Have you never felt bloodthirsty?"
Hua Ning was confused by this. "Are the Dark Phoenixes always bloodthirsty? Why have I never felt the slightest bit of it?"
"That’s weird." Yue Lian then observed Hua Ning’s body. "According to the story, the Dark Phoenix is the most fierce of the three phoenix races, and their bloodlust will overflow on certain days. When that happens, they will slaughter countless living creatures regardless of race, and they will eat their corpses."
"Hmm?" Hua Lian raised an eyebrow. "I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but my daughter and I have never experienced it before."
Yue Lian nodded slightly. "Perhaps you two didn’t experience this because your husband was by your side, or maybe the story from the past was wrong."
"I think that story is indeed false, and the old dragon probably wiped out the Dark Phoenix Race for other reasons." Hua Ning then lowered her daughter from her lap. "Qiu’er, you’ve been through this process for so long, so you can take Yue Lian to your room now, and you should rest your body before you try cultivating in the mysterious lake again."
"Yes, Mother." Yun Jingqiu immediately led Yue Lian to her room.
.
.

Upon their arrival, Yun Jingqiu pulled Yue Lian to lie down with her. She hugged her contract beast and buried her face in her chest. "Aunt Lian, I hope you enjoy staying with us here."
"Don’t worry, I will enjoy it." Yue Lian hugged Yun Jingqiu back and told her a story until she fell asleep. She then used her senses to check the castle, but she couldn’t find Ling Yun’s clone anywhere. Instead, she found Yun Shengyun asking Lin Sha to try on many strange costumes. "Like a father, like a son, both of them are perverted."

[Ding]
[The host has mastered the initial stage of the light elemental law.]
After spending some time, Ling Yun finally mastered the light elemental law. He immediately opened his eyes and left the place, but the laws of the universe were already waiting for him. "What happened? Why did you suddenly give me all the methods for all the elemental laws?"
