Inside the Beast Taming Space.

Sally is getting familiar with her new body.

In the pure spiritual state after losing her physical form, her control over power has become completely different.

At this moment, the little cat girl is curled up in the corner of the Beast Taming Space, repeatedly trying her newly acquired abilities.

"Time Freeze!"

She gazes at the Spring of Life not far away, fully activating her skills.

However...

"Splash..."

Except for a thumb-sized droplet of water strangely suspended in the air from the center of the spring, the rest of the water remained unchanged.

"Ugh..."

Sally's ears droop dejectedly.

Originally, after breaking through to the Extraordinary Level, relying on the Cat Race's innate agility talent, although she couldn't keep up with Gu Xing's combat pace, she could at least perfectly fulfill her duties as a daily maid.

But now...

Not only has her level fallen back to Awakened Tier One, but even her skills have become so useless.

Although the names of Time Freeze and Time Slowdown sound very impressive.

But after actually trying...

They are really not what they seem.

"It's incredibly strenuous to even freeze a tiny area as small as a fingernail..."

Of course, Sally understands this is related to her current level.

But...

She can also sense now that even if her level increases...

The idea of freely controlling the time of an area is still nearly impossible.

"Clearly, I've gained the ability to manipulate time..."

The little cat girl lowers her head bitterly.

This ability seems to bring her no help at all!

What breaks her heart the most is...

She trembles as she extends her hand, trying to clench her fist.

But her semi-transparent fingers pass right through her palm, losing even the most basic tactile sense.

"Such a body..."

Now she can't even serve Gu Xing with a cup of tea, let alone fulfill her duties as a maid.

"If she can't even serve her master..."

Sally's cat ears droop without strength.

Then what right does she have to stay by Gu Xing's side any longer?

After a long silence, the little cat girl wipes away her tears and makes a decision—

When the time is right, she will voluntarily resign.

Returning to the Cat Race might be the best choice...

Beside her, Liu Li and Vera notice Sally's lost expression and whisper quietly together.

"It's strange, this little cat girl has awakened such an incredible power, why is she even more downcast?"

Vera tilts her head, her emerald eyes full of confusion.

Liu Li glances thoughtfully at Sally, curled up in the corner, and softly says:

"Probably hasn't adapted to the new body yet."

And at this moment, Qing Shuang shifts his gaze away from Sally.

Being able to start controlling time at Awakened Tier One, this Guardian Beast also has terrifying talent!

Hearing Vera and Liu Li's discussion, Qing Shuang subconsciously asks:

"When do you think the master will form a contract with Sally?"

Liu Li and Sally pause in thought, then answer in unison:

"Today!"

They understand Gu Xing's thoughts very well.

As for Sally, Gu Xing has always felt a slight guilt.

Moreover...

In the past, Sally sacrificed herself, ensuring they survived the crisis.

Neither of them could bring themselves to refuse a contract with Sally.

In addition...

They are also aware of Sally's talent.

With Gu Xing's help, it's just a matter of time before Sally's talent breaks through to Myth Nine Stars.

By then...

Sally's talent will surely further transform.

A Guardian Beast that controls time starts out invincible.

Therefore, from any perspective, Sally must contract as soon as possible.

Only...

Liu Li and Vera's synchronized response causes their gazes to collide.

Liu Li narrows her eyes, her gaze scanning Vera with a dangerous glint.

Previously focused entirely on Sally, she had forgotten one thing...

She hasn't settled accounts with this Green Tea Spirit yet!

And this Green Tea Spirit still maintains her mature form!

Seems she got cocky after reaching Myth Nine Stars.

But what Liu Li cares about most is Vera's unusual physical state at the moment.

Usually maintaining her petite, youthful form, but now...

Liu Li's gaze involuntarily falls upon Vera's chest...

The proud fullness contrasting sharply with her slender elf figure, gently rising and falling with her breath.

"Green Tea Spirit, turn back into a kid's form at once!"

However...

"I! Will! Not!"

Vera retorts word by word, a newfound confidence sparkling in her emerald eyes.

After reaching Myth Nine Stars, she no longer has to endure in front of Liu Li!

"You—"

Liu Li suddenly erupts with a fiery red blaze around her, her hair moving without wind.

This Green Tea Spirit actually dares...

Vera fearlessly raises her head, a dazzling Elf Power gathering in her palm.

The days of constantly yielding due to lack of strength are, starting today...

All in the past!

But just as the two Guardian Beasts are on the verge of conflict, Gu Xing's Spiritual Power suddenly materializes in the Beast Taming Space.

In an instant—

"Master~"

Vera instantly retracts her battle stance, her hands folded in front, revealing a sweet smile.

Liu Li also immediately extinguishes the flames around her, bowing respectfully.

Both Guardian Beasts perfectly demonstrate a harmonious relationship.

After all, showing discord in front of the Beast Taming Master is a big no-no.

Gu Xing scratches his head in some confusion but doesn't dwell on it.

Liu Li and Vera have been together the longest, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Gu Xing's gaze locks on Sally.

He then slowly approaches.

But Sally seems lost in self-doubt, not noticing his approach at all.

"Sally? Sally?"

It's only on the third call that Sally snaps out of it, looking up suddenly:

"Wha- what is it? Master.....no, what instructions does Lord Gu Xing have?"

Seeing the panic-stricken Sally, Gu Xing instinctively touches his face.

Am I so frightening?

Why does it seem like Sally is scared of him?

Moreover...

Sally just called him master...

Then immediately corrected herself?

Could it be she doesn't want to become his Guardian Beast?!

But during the sacrifice, Sally seemed willing to become his Guardian Beast?

Sally's response directly makes Gu Xing feel a bit self-doubting.

But fortunately.....

Gu Xing notices that though she refuses to call him master verbally, she doesn't reject his approach.

The pair of semi-transparent little hands twist nervously together, clearly struggling internally.

Gu Xing, curious, directly asks her:

"Sally, what is it?"

The little cat girl hesitates for a long time, finally mustering the courage to look up:

"Lord Gu Xing, I, I wish to continue being your maid!"

"I'll definitely work hard to restore my body and fulfill my maid duties!"

Hearing this, Gu Xing suddenly understands.

Sally isn't rejecting him.

On the contrary, she seems a bit hard on herself!

Thinking of this.

Gu Xing decides to give Sally a little confidence.

"Sally, I think you have better choices than being my maid."
