Although she seemed happy, Lin Guang thought for a moment and still earnestly said, "If I meet a suitable candidate, I will still try my best to invite them for a contract."

In this world, there are quite a few strong individuals who conquer with one or two Spirit Beasts, but that's just a special case. Overall, investing resources in multiple Spirit Beasts is stronger than cultivating just one.

Vishdair "tsk"-ed, "Why are you telling me this? I can't stop you."

Lin Guang chuckled, "This... actually depends a lot on fate. Terra creatures are indeed too few, and those who are an eye fate are even fewer."

Lin Guang actually felt that there are probably other Terrans outside of Vishdair in this world, but there's a high probability they're not within the borders of Great Xia—because Great Xia is a nation where identity management is quite strict, making it difficult for them to gather together.

On the contrary, overseas, in those countries that are relatively less stable than Great Xia, the probability of Terrans being able to group together is higher. For instance, in the island country to the east, [Fusang] is very likely to be a gathering place for them, as humans there possess an ability to beastify their bodies, and Terrans there are not considered too alien.

However, Lin Guang cannot possibly use the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence to appraise everyone on the street, besides which this would greatly exhaust Lin Guang's energy, and the level of the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence is not high enough to see through disguises.

...

Abducting the little fox was just a small interlude.

Lin Guang was not yet sure if the little fox, accustomed to freedom, could accept the "narrow" room life, and he hadn't even given it a name. Instead, he let it adapt in the living room for a while by itself.

After a simple meal, Lin Guang took some clothes from the room, entered the bathroom, and closed the door, turning on the showerhead in advance to let the cold water flow away.

Whoosh...

The steam signaled the warming of the water. He had just taken off his glasses and was about to take off his shirt, when the sound of claws scratching on wood came from outside the door. As Lin Guang pushed the door open, the little fox slipped in, climbing up along his trousers and clothes until it perched on his shoulder, looking at ease.

This friendly?

No way... this little fox... isn't afraid of water?

Lin Guang frowned. Not only was the bathroom filled with steam at this moment, but the shower was also sprinkling water. Desert species are generally afraid of water, and many Desert Ear Foxes even pretend to die out of stress when their owners try to bathe them. This was why Lin Guang hadn't planned to bathe it before.

Could it be a result of mutation?

The Level 1 Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence, which Lin Guang often mocked in his previous life as the "Not-so-Omniscient-and-Omnipotent Eye".

Currently, it could at best recognize the names of Middle Tier Spiritual Materials. If the grade of the materials was high enough, even their efficacy would be greatly reduced, and it was impossible to know specific effects and secrets, the same with Spirit Beasts.

And if Spirit Beasts and animals ingested it, any special effects would be even harder to discern, merely showing up as "Unknown Status (Unknown Effect)" on their status.

Thus, Lin Guang conjectured that this little fox had probably consumed some rare Spiritual Material.

Although it displayed an unknown effect, judging from the little fox's slightly lethargic spirit state at the moment, it probably wasn't negative.

With this in mind, Lin Guang tried picking up the showerhead and changing the angle. The water sprayed onto the wall sharply, but the little fox on his shoulder remained unafraid. Instead, under Lin Guang's surprised gaze, it jumped down and quickly stepped into the shower's range, its small face showing a human-like comfort.

A fox that wants to bathe on its own?

Lin Guang wasn't in a rush to wash himself. He pulled out a small chair and sat down, wetting the little fox's fur, including its fluffy big tail, only leaving the little fox's head dry, then he applied some of the shampoo he recently bought for Vishdair (advertised as suitable for any skin type), creating clusters of foam on its body.

Along the way, he naturally understood the little one's gender—it was a female fox.

Seeing the little fox's comfortable expression, Lin Guang was moved, activating his Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence and Hand of Full Mastery.

This time, his Spiritual Power was no longer restrained, carefully scanning her from top to bottom.

The little fox was indeed startled, pinning its big ears backward, emitting a soft sound, and quickly broke free from Lin Guang's hands, looking nervously at him.

"It's alright, this is to heal you," Lin Guang said softly, "trust me."

"..."

The Desert Broad-eared Fox wasn't a high-level Spirit Beast, with potential ranging from gray to white. This species' cubs shouldn't understand human emotions quickly, but as soon as Lin Guang spoke, the little fox seemed to grasp his meaning, ceasing its little cries and fixing its ears back to normal.

This made Lin Guang even happier. He continued to gently massage the little fox with his good hand. This time, it didn't struggle anymore, only letting out a few pitiful cooing sounds due to unavoidable pain.

But as he continued massaging, the expression on Lin Guang's face turned from joy to confusion.

Feeling pain is normal.

But this little fox's status...

Why does the tactile feeling of some parts of its body somewhat resemble certain parts of Vishdair's body?

Wait, is this—isn't it—

Lin Guang's face turned somewhat solemn.

He distinctly felt he had detected crystalline substances, emitting unusual energy fluctuations, different from ordinary Ethereal Crystals.

Ore Disease?!

Somewhat disbelieving, he concentrated to experience that feeling, but no matter the approach, he arrived at the same conclusion—this was very likely Ore Disease!

Amid the two "Unknown Statuses", one should be "Ore Disease", yet for some reason, the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence couldn't see through it.

In other words, this ordinary little fox... comes from the Terra World.

Does the Terra World also have a Desert Ear Fox similar to this world?!

Immediately, Lin Guang thought of the introduction (not) given by the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence—"A rather ordinary fox, not a local species."

Indeed, it's not a local species of Zhen Sheng City, it's not even a native species of the Blue Star, alright.

After internally ridiculing, Lin Guang then sighed at this strange fate, could it be that the Heart of Terra and Terra creatures attract each other like Stand users do?

Then comes the question: should he make a contract with it?

If he did, how would he explain it to Vishdair?

"Never mind." Lin Guang softly sighed, "Let's wait a while and see what happens."

Abandoning all sorts of thoughts, Lin Guang devoted himself to bathing and massaging the little fox, soon combing out the knots in its fur and washing it clean. What was even more gratifying to Lin Guang was that the little fox wasn't scared of the hair dryer's sound at all, lying on the washbasin submissively as he worked.
