It started by crouching down, lurking motionless at the bottom of the water.

But Qin Niu had grasped the language of insects and reached proficient level in his skill, using his spiritual power to lock on to it, then continuously sending the same command to it.

It eventually seemed to have received and understood the meaning of the order.

Climbing out of the water,

it looked around warily, and when it saw Qin Niu, its master, it still felt fearful.

Only after seeing it climb onto the rocks to eat the minced meat mixed with Banyan Tree Blood did Qin Niu leave.

Now it was time to subdue Xiao Niu.

Subduing this little turtle was just an added bonus. There was also the intention to use it as an experiment.

He was worried that after eating the Banyan Tree Blood, the little turtle might become terrifyingly powerful and he would lose control over it. That’s why he had chosen to subdue it first.

For the little turtle, this was a test of life and death.

Arriving at the cattle shed in the front yard, he saw Xiao Qing diligently cleaning.

She had swept away all the ‘traps’ he had set outside the house.

Qin Niu didn’t say much.

Still weak and young, he could only use these little tricks to ensure his safety.

He no longer needed these messy branches laid out on the ground as ‘sentries’.

“Moo~!”

Xiao Niu looked especially affectionate when it saw Qin Niu appear.

On the contrary, it was full of wariness towards Xiao Qing, with a deep guard against her.

Qin Niu had risked his life that day to rescue it from the raging waters, and the man and calf had since developed a deep emotional bond.

In their subsequent time together, with Xiao Niu following him up the mountain, it had experienced unprecedented joy.

“Xiao Niu, I want to make a contract with you. From now on, you will be my Beast Pet. Don’t resist,” he said.

He stroked Xiao Niu’s head.

It appeared to somewhat understand, simply raising its head to look at Qin Niu.

Establishing a master-servant contract would enable Qin Niu to control it and stay informed about its condition.

As a Low-grade Contract Charm was used, a beam of golden light shot towards Xiao Niu’s body.

A shocking scene unfolded.

That faint golden light was like a drop of water hitting a smooth cliff face, simply being repelled. It scattered and then disappeared entirely.

Qin Niu had never encountered such a situation before.

The most serious case he had encountered was when he subdued the Queen Bee. Its will power was extremely strong, and it had taken two Low-grade Contract Charms to nearly fail in subduing it.

The golden light had not penetrated into Xiao Niu, nor had it shown any resistance.

Its eyes even looked somewhat confused.

“I’ve never heard that subduing a Beast Pet requires a higher-grade Contractual Talisman! What on earth is going on?” he wondered.

Qin Niu faintly realized that this Xiao Niu might be no ordinary calf.

Its horns were actually a bit different from ordinary water buffaloes.

Moreover, it was bold enough to ‘compete for dominance’ with Official Liu’s black steed.

Everything indicated that this Xiao Niu might not be an ordinary calf.

It was washed down by the flood, and although it didn’t have a nose peg, that didn’t mean it was unclaimed.

Because for calves under one year old, owners often do not put nose pegs on them.

Only those intended to be used for plowing the fields are pegged, with a rope tied to them, to facilitate control.

Why can a child of a few years lead a water buffalo weighing several hundred pounds? It’s because they are pegged. If you pull even slightly, it feels pain.

And it has no choice but to be obedient.

“I’ll have to try with a Grade One Contractual Talisman again,” he sighed.

Qin Niu felt frustrated.

One Low-grade Contract Charm cost One Tael of Silver, and without even a bubble, it was gone.

If he had known, he would have started with a Grade One Contractual Talisman.

He carefully took out a Grade One Contractual Talisman and removed the seal from it.

Then he activated it in the same way.

To activate a Grade One Contractual Talisman required more blood.

He squeezed out seven or eight drops of fresh blood to successfully activate it.

For a Low-grade Contract Charm, one drop of fresh blood would suffice.

As the Grade One Contractual Talisman spontaneously ignited in the wind, a very solid beam of golden light shot towards Xiao Niu.

It was dozens of times stronger than the faint golden glow of the low-grade Contract Charm.

And the pillar of light was much thicker.

Boom!

The golden light struck Xiao Nui’s head fiercely.

Still, a large amount of golden light scattered.

Its body surface seemed to have a natural defensive barrier that could fend off the golden light of the Contract Talisman.

Luckily, Qin Niu shared a certain affection with it.

Otherwise, if one wanted to tame it in the wild, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

“Moo!”

It raised its head and let out a slightly pained moo.

The glossy black eyes just stared at Qin Niu. It did not resist at all.

Qin Niu’s heart, which had been suspended, was somewhat relieved.

Xiao Nui had refrained from any struggle or resistance after being soothed by the look in Qin Niu’s eyes.

Even so, the golden light continued to weaken.

Fortunately, after persisting for about half an hour, a faint golden light flew out from inside the bull’s head and entered the space between Qin Niu’s eyebrows.

His body trembled slightly, and he quickly closed his eyes and sat still.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.

“Moo~!”

Xiao Nui called out to him affectionately, further deepening their bond.

Once beast pets are subdued, they establish a subordinate relationship with their master, unconditionally obeying their master’s commands.

Their fates are henceforth closely connected to their master.

If the master wishes to kill them, it’s said that a single thought is all it takes.

Some unfeeling masters, before dying, in order to prevent their pets from falling into the hands of others, will cruelly kill all their pets.

It’s akin to ancient emperors and nobles, having their consorts and servants buried with them after death.

“From now on, I will cultivate you well, to make you a strong bull,”

Qin Niu patted Xiao Nui’s forehead.

He was delighted to have successfully tamed a very special beast pet.

He was certain that this Little Niu was no ordinary water buffalo.

Because even a medium-grade Contract Talisman almost failed to subdue it, despite it not resisting at all.

It was too strong.

He had been longing for a mount, and finally, he had one.

Eagerly, he checked Xiao Nui’s attributes.

Plated-Horn Robust Water Buffalo

Grade: Grade One even-toed ungulate mammal, upgrade experience 17/100

Lifespan: 99 years

Energy: 37097

Skills: Fertilize rank one 5.11/10, Brute Force rank one 0.1/10

Talents: Awakening, Laziness

After seeing Xiao Nui’s attributes, Qin Niu felt somewhat disappointed.

He had thought it would have very strong special skills, but its talents were only two: Awakening and Laziness.

The two beast pets he tamed today were indeed stranger than the other.

The little turtle’s talent was Timidity, and this Little Niu’s talent was Laziness.

He had taken in a lazy bull.

Yet, Xiao Niu’s other talent seemed rather high-level.

Ordinary creatures grow stronger, which is called evolution.

But Xiao Niu’s talent was Awakening. Could this mean it was inherently very powerful?

Simply lying down and continually awakening would make it stronger?

Human children all envy those with a good father, wishing to be born into a good family.

For beast kind, having strong parents is even more important.

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a mouse’s son will only know how to dig holes.

If a dragon’s offspring, no matter how weak, could not be too weak.

And without even trying, they could easily be more powerful than the vast majority of creatures..
