The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Pure White Tadpole_1

"Then could you please register me?"

Ye Hanjun feigned helplessness with an unsurprised expression, saying:

"As for the origin of this badge... it's a long story."

"Oh, got it."

The attendant took out his own badge, collided the two badges together, and the so-called registration was completed.

Then, Ye Hanjun, pretending not to understand the subtext on his face—"No worries, I have ample time to listen to your gossip"—pulled a small cart filled with big plastic bottles and the Shield Armor Turtle and left the Chick House from the nearest exit.

"A mysterious young man..."

The attendant watched him go until he couldn't see Ye Hanjun's figure anymore, then returned to the feeding room to prepare today's nutrient solution for Chain Vine.

"Sssshhh—sssshhh—"

With the absence of the Little Tyrant Shield Armor Turtle, the Stinky Turtle and the Illusion Poison Turtle crawled over and occupied the huge reef.

As for violent territorial disputes, the residents here are all easygoing turtles. They are synonymous with politeness and modesty, and similar situations did not happen again.

...

Ye Hanjun looked up at the sky. By this time, it was deep night, and the stars were scattered like pearls.

Occasionally, a few clouds would drift past, and the stars would stop blinking, the moonlight would cease to pour down, and in the darkness where he could not see his hand in front of him, he found some enjoyment.

"Not having a riding pet, it's really inconvenient to go anywhere."

"Fortunately, Master Jia said that the academy has more than a dozen stations, offering free carriage services..."

"Roar! Roar!"

(╬◣д◢)

On the cart, the Shield Armor Turtle (overturned with its feet facing the sky) was still struggling fiercely.

Every movement spoke: "Damn human, let this turtle go if you know what's good, or I'll make sure you can't take care of yourself for the rest of your life!"...

Of course, it was all in vain.

The Iron Lock Body Wrap of Chain Vine was too overpowering, even though it had been severed from the main body and was no longer supplied with energy.

Given the Shield Armor Turtle's current rank, there was no way it could break free no matter what.

"Keep shouting, let's see if anyone cares if you lose your voice," said Ye Hanjun, patting the turtle's metallic shell and revealing a devilish smile at an empty street corner.

"Roar..."

The usually domineering Shield Armor Turtle, for some reason, suddenly gave in.

After realizing this, it was as if embarrassed by its change of attitude and began to bite the vine lock with even more ferocity, like a madman.

Ye Hanjun ignored it.

Forty minutes later, he finally found a station.

The so-called station was filled with various types of Fond Spirit-drawn carriages, each one accommodating thirty to forty people.

They were essentially like the buses of his previous life, helping Patrons without riding pets to save travel time to various places.

Ye Hanjun swiped his badge and boarded a wooden cart operated by a 'Coachman' and a 'Big Foot Horse'.

The rank of the Big Foot Horse was Rainbow Light Fetus_Small Achievement.

If riding directly, its speed was at least twice that of the Giant Sparrow and it could last longer, not getting tired even after two or three hours.

However, when it pulled the huge carriage and carried over twenty passengers, its actual speed wasn't much faster.

As a result, when Ye Hanjun arrived at his destination and got out of the carriage, it was already 11 o'clock at night.

"Ding——"

He swiped his badge to enter the door more proficiently, and the continuous buildings were reflected in his eyes.

The architectures were all independent villas, spaced far apart from each other with colors either white or black in a simple style.

Ye Hanjun listened carefully, hearing the faint sounds of lions and tigers roaring, birds screaming, but overall it was still quiet and peaceful, meeting his minimum living environment standards.

"Black means they have already been bound by someone. Whether they are occupied or not, outsiders cannot enter."

"White, on the other hand, means 'vacant'."

"Although Canghai Pavilion has more than a dozen residential areas, the number of vacant houses here is more than I imagined..."

Ye Hanjun classified this as a "second-class housing".

Ordinary students, unless willing to spend money, could only live in third-class housing for free.

But teaching assistants or elite students are qualified to use the second-class housing free of charge as their habitat.

As for first-class housing... that's where the official mentors live.

For example, Jiang Yongnian built a castle by the lake in the east—this is his exclusive right, outsiders can only watch enviously.

"This is it, number 233, let's start a new life here."

Ye Hanjun was too lazy to pick, but the villas near the main entrance were all occupied, so he had to go forward 500 meters to find a white house.

He knocked his personal badge on the door, and like dark ink dripped into water, the previously pristine white wall turned into a pure black in a second.

"Creeeak——"

The door opened and the warm yellow wall lights automatically lit up, making everything, whether it was the nearby corridor or the distant living room, instantly bright.

Ye Hanjun took a quick glance, the interior was still in a simple style.

However, one difference from his previous life was that the villa of at least 1000 square meters only had one floor.

The distance from the ceiling to the stonework floor was a full 30 meters.

This was a common design structure in the Fond Spirit world—only mortals might be forced to choose a house that merely met human living conditions.

Any Patron who has a contract with a Fond Spirit.

Even if it's a Clay Body at the first rank, even if it's small and doesn't take up much space.

A house with a height of three or four meters would still significantly limit their activities.

Although living in such an environment for a long time could lead to depression or even physical function decline, no one would dare to design it like that.

"Ventilation runes, cold and hot water systems, fire circulation devices, automatic smoke extraction systems, metal cooking platform, freezing preservation device, wardrobe filled with regular clothes, disaster warning device..."

Although Ye Hanjun had made a rough inspection of his surroundings and found it largely unfavourable compared to his previous living conditions,

Thankfully, everything seemed brand-new around him, untouched by humans. Just this fact was enough to make him feel somewhat relieved.

"Little Tyrant, your days of running wild are over. Get indoors."

Back at the entrance, it took Ye Hanjun some effort to lift the bulky Shield Armor Turtle onto the doorstep and then throw it into the house.

Throughout this process, the Shield Armor Turtle fought against him vigorously and refused to cooperate.

But Ye Hanjun merely shook his head without paying any attention to the beast-like threats it growled out.

"The days of unkempt, sweat-stained stress are finally coming to an end!"

Closing the door, he confirmed that the defense array on the walls started to operate.

After glancing at the plastic bottle one more time, confirming everything was normal,

Ye Hanjun decided that a hot bath was more compelling after all. His bright smile, as radiant as core brightness, adorns his face at the thought.

"Bang!"

The door to the washroom was thrown open, and his eyes lit up once again.

He could bear with anything being simple or impoverished, but if the washroom was compromised, he knew he could never live with it.

Luckily, the bathing area was not insignificant in size and equipped with adequate facilities. To his surprise, it even had separate bathtubs for humanoid residents and adapted shower facilities for the Fond Spirits.

With a few excited noises, Ye Hanjun indulged in scented soaps, candles, temperature checks, and soap scrubs. To the extent of wishing he could rub off his skin.

"It's such a pity, under these special circumstances, that there are no young maidens to help me undress or beautiful dancers to perform splits with tunes in the background. The overall experience is indeed missing a bit..."

Despite his slight regrets, Ye Hanjun knew to feel content.

After a long day of work, he was moved almost to tears at the mere thought of taking a hot bath in the evening.

This was one of the few things he would insist on, considering himself to possess only a 'bit' of cleanliness mania.

"Huff...This feels delightful! Utterly delightful!"

"Taking time out each day for a bath is indeed one of life's ultimate pleasures!"

An hour later, Ye Hanjun, still as pale as snow and steaming from the top of his head, finally climbed out of the bathtub.

The first thing he did was to throw away the black cloak he had worn during the day into the trash can. Then, he washed his hands three times, picked a set of fitting clothes from the closet to wear.

Only then did Ye Hanjun felt fully revived. The renewed freshness he felt was overwhelming, so pleasing that it made him feel perfectly content.

"This must be the feeling of washing away all the earthly dust."

Stretching indolently, Ye Hanjun revealed a teeth-wide smile.

Remembering what he had to do next prompted him to give his body a thorough check again, just to be careful.

He was especially careful about noting places like fingernail edges to ensure there were no obvious residues of dirt. This was an incredibly important detail!

Once he was prepared, Ye Hanjun carried the large plastic bottle next to his car ignoring the glare from the Shield Armor Turtle who looked like it wanted to devour him, and began moving towards the washroom.

"Splashing sounds~~~"

The washroom had two baths in total. One of a moderate size was reserved for him, while the bigger size was used to contain the hodgepodge of things in the plastic bottle.

The Cyclops Goldfish, Bubble Fish, Jumping Shrimp, Mini Crab, Blue Waterweed, Green Water Grass...

These were the lowest level living creatures in the natural ecology. Although most of them could be defined as Fond Spirits, they were too weak and common.

Even Fond Spirits with a G-level authority would only consider making a contractual relationship with them in the direst of circumstances.

"Go away, go play over there."

Digging in the large bathtub, Ye Hanjun managed to get rid of the fearless mini crab and with an incredible amount of effort, finally caught the thing he wanted.

It was a "Stone", feeling cold to the touch.

There were patches of gray patterns on it, which made it look dirty and unsightly with little aesthetic appeal.

Applying some pressure on it with his fingers, it felt just as hard as a rock.

When he knocked it against the tub, it gave off a crisp, metallic sound.

——From any point of view, it was not different from any ordinary pebble.

"Little guy, aren't you being too brave? You're right in my hand, with your life hanging by a thread. Don't you have a sense of danger at all?"

Ye Hanjun, treating it like a precious toy, played with it thoroughly. However, his mouth didn't stop producing ridiculing remarks.

"Hiss~~~"

As if the stone was reacting to his words.

The warning he gave seemed to have an effect, and the stone in his hand suddenly flipped over.

Like a piece of frozen jelly melting slowly, the "stone" elongated and thinned down. The tarnished color of its surface brightened up like clean jewelry in an instant.

"Yiye?"(?????)

The small creature, no bigger than the size of a baby's palm, gently wiggled its tail.

The elongated tail trailed behind it, looking like a little girl's ponytail.

When it raised its upper body and revealed two tiny eyes on its big head which then developed a look of curiosity towards Ye Hanjun, filled with spirit.

Ye Hanjun was captivated by such pure creatures, inwardly marvelling at the soul-storm that this creature represented.

"Aptitude... Identify!"
