Goodness!
Ye Ling had no idea where this mysterious shrinking ability came from.
A miniature Feng Jiu flapped her wings and landed on Ye Ling’s shoulder, calmly saying, “This isn’t some special ability, it’s just control over my own body.”
Hearing this, Ye Ling was at a loss for words.
He really didn’t know how to refute Feng Jiu. Although he didn’t fully understand, Feng Jiu’s ability to control her size seemed similar to corpse poison.
It wasn’t a talent, nor was it a skill.
“Alright, Master, is it okay if I stay like this?”
Standing on Ye Ling’s shoulder, Feng Jiu said.
Although Feng Jiu was a bit proud, she still respectfully called Ye Ling “Master.”
Once a contract is signed, the relationship between a Spirit Tamer and their Spiritual Pet becomes an unbreakable master-servant bond.
Of course, it’s not always absolute; the relationship needs to be maintained by both parties.
If one side actively breaks the relationship, the other side can’t maintain it even if they want to.
Seeing Feng Jiu so reluctant to enter the Spiritual Pet Seal, Ye Ling sighed helplessly.
“Sigh! Alright, since you can shrink this small, you can stay outside. But let me be clear, don’t disturb me while I’m sleeping, or… I’ll put you into the Spiritual Pet Seal.”
Reluctantly agreeing to Feng Jiu’s request, Ye Ling also set his own conditions.
“Deal,” Feng Jiu nodded slightly. She had no interest in waking Ye Ling; wouldn’t it be better to sleep well herself?
Ye Ling glanced at Blood Phantom, who was standing obediently nearby, and waved her over.
Seeing Ye Ling’s gesture, Blood Phantom immediately walked over.
Having two Spiritual Pets and keeping them in the Spiritual Pet Seal should have given them company, preventing loneliness.
But unfortunately, Feng Jiu didn’t want to go back, and Ye Ling had no choice.
Therefore, Ye Ling decided not to put Blood Phantom back into the Spiritual Pet Seal either, as he had promised not to let her be alone.
“Alright, Blood Phantom, since Jiu doesn’t want to go in, you can stay outside too. But remember, don’t disturb my rest, understood?”
Hearing this, Blood Phantom’s face lit up with a smile, and she nodded gently.
Next, it was time to rest.
Lying on the bed, Ye Ling was full of helplessness.
On his right side, against the wall, was Feng Jiu, and outside lay Blood Phantom, with Ye Ling in the middle.
One was icy cold, the other burning hot, making Ye Ling feel like he was caught between ice and fire.
One side was cold, the other hot; this feeling was truly unique.
He had wanted to rest well, but this alternating cold and hot sensation made it hard for Ye Ling to fall asleep.
After enduring for who knows how long, Ye Ling was finally too tired to stay awake. His eyelids kept fighting, and eventually, he couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.
Under the dark night sky, the airship sailed swiftly, and a faint light gradually appeared on the horizon.
…
When Ye Ling woke up, he felt a weight on his chest, not knowing what was pressing down on him.
Since he had slept late the previous night, Ye Ling was still a bit groggy.
Rubbing his eyes, Ye Ling looked down at his chest.
It turned out that at some point, Feng Jiu from his right side had climbed onto his chest.
Don’t be fooled by her small size; she was quite heavy, making it hard for Ye Ling to breathe comfortably while sleeping.
Moving his left hand, Ye Ling found it couldn’t move.
Turning his head, he suddenly saw that Blood Phantom had wrapped herself around his left hand at some point, holding it tightly.
After a night of icy coldness, Ye Ling felt his left hand was almost numb.
Since Blood Phantom didn’t need to rest, she immediately noticed when Ye Ling woke up.
Her big gray eyes stared intently at Ye Ling.
“Master?”
Ye Ling smiled and pointed to Blood Phantom’s arm.
“Blood Phantom, it’s time to let go. My hand is almost numb.”
Hearing this, Blood Phantom immediately released Ye Ling’s arm and gracefully got off the bed, standing by its side.
Freed from Blood Phantom’s grip, Ye Ling’s left hand could finally move.
But after a night of coldness, Ye Ling felt his left hand was almost unresponsive.
Suddenly, Ye Ling’s gaze fell on Feng Jiu on his chest.
At this moment, Feng Jiu was still radiating heat, so Ye Ling placed his left hand near his chest.
Sure enough, the warmth quickly spread to Ye Ling’s left hand.
After a while, his almost numb left hand finally returned to normal.
“Ha!”
Feng Jiu suddenly yawned, her emerald-green eyes snapping open.
She then sat up on her own, flapping her wings and flying off Ye Ling’s chest.
Seeing Feng Jiu move away so willingly saved Ye Ling a lot of trouble.
