Lin Chuan had long prepared the Contract Orb.
Book Spirit Wan Wan was born with intelligence no lower than humans, so her thoughts and emotions would be more complex, unlike Guoguo and Sakura, who were so pure at first.
Therefore, Lin Chuan once again very solemnly and seriously asked Wan Wan.
Was she truly willing to contract with him?
He warned her not to be impulsive, or she would have nowhere to cry if she regretted it.
Furthermore, Lin Chuan subtly reminded Wan Wan that not only would she be required to be a little encyclopedia and a logistics secretary, but she would also undergo battle pet training, which would be extremely arduous and not something ordinary spirit beasts could endure.
Guoguo and Sakura had started from a young age, and by now, they had completely formed a habit; they would feel restless if they didn't train for a day.
Even during these few days off, they would maintain a minimum amount of training and warm-up every day.
However, Book Spirit Wan Wan, a spirit beast born with human intelligence and knowledge of many things, might not be able to withstand the tough training.
"Master, battle pet training is exactly what I want! It's also the biggest reason I'm willing to follow you!"
Wan Wan replied with great determination and resolve.
Hearing this, Lin Chuan looked at Wan Wan.
Wan Wan also gathered her courage at this moment, clenching her small fists, raising her head, and meeting Lin Chuan's gaze with firm eyes.
"Since that's the case, then..."
Saying this, Lin Chuan exerted a slight force, crushing the Contract Orb in his palm.
It was just like the scene when he first contracted Guoguo and Sakura.
A silvery-white, transparent, circular miniature array quietly appeared in Lin Chuan's palm as the Contract Orb shattered, slowly rotating.
Next, Lin Chuan only needed to press this circular miniature array onto Wan Wan's body.
However, before Lin Chuan could press the contract array onto Wan Wan's body, Wan Wan herself controlled her main body book to float over, actively placing her small hand on the contract array.
The array instantly spun at high speed, transforming into a stream of light that merged into Wan Wan's delicate and petite body, entering her main body book.
The contract array expanded and burst open within Wan Wan's main body book.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Wan Wan's main body book, the cooking magazine, flipped rapidly, with spiritual light patterns spreading across the book's cover, spine, and even every single page.
And her delicate and petite Transformation materialized body glowed brightly.
After two breaths, everything returned to calm, the light patterns faded, and Wan Wan's materialized body no longer glowed.
The energy of the contract ritual was completely absorbed by Wan Wan.
At this point, the contract was complete!
Lin Chuan felt it.
A tremor from the depths of his soul; he and Book Spirit Wan Wan had established a connection deeper, more mysterious, and more profound than blood ties.
Book Spirit Wan Wan had officially become his, Lin Chuan's, contracted spirit beast.
From this moment on, he, Lin Chuan, as a Beast Master, and Book Spirit Wan Wan, as a contracted spirit beast, would share a common destiny!
...
After contracting Book Spirit Wan Wan, he still needed to report to the Beastmaster Association.
After all, Wan Wan had rushed over by express delivery overnight, skipping many normal procedures. Although this situation wasn't a violation, it still needed to be reported.
Setting off immediately, Lin Chuan took Wan Wan to the Beastmaster Association in Tianshang Town to explain the situation clearly to the relevant staff.
At the same time, Lin Chuan also registered Wan Wan's file, which was equivalent to getting an official household registration, and Lin Chuan also updated his Beast Master information.
From the perspective of federal regulations, Wan Wan officially became his spirit beast.
That night.
Under the arrangement and supervision of Lin Chuan, the Beast Master, Guoguo and Sakura, as the initial spirit beasts, had a formal meeting with the newcomer, Book Spirit Wan Wan.
Guoguo stared curiously at the delicate little person floating on a book in front of her.
What was this?
A miniature human?
Then, could Master also shrink? Guoguo curiously turned to look at Lin Chuan, making chirping sounds.
If Guoguo also evolved and her intelligence grew to a level similar to Sakura's current intelligence, Lin Chuan should be able to subconsciously understand her words. However, it wasn't possible yet; it was still a bit short. But with Sakura translating in her 'Ying' language, Lin Chuan understood Guoguo's words very promptly.
He shook his head repeatedly.
"No, it's impossible, I can't do it."
"Besides, Wan Wan is a spirit beast, a spirit beast just like you!"
Guoguo's thinking was still relatively childish.
Sakura's intelligence was much higher. Although it was only equivalent to the IQ of a human ten-year-old child, Sakura could already understand the current situation.
"Ying ying ying~"
Sakura greeted Wan Wan friendly, waving her small arm.
Being a spirit beast herself, Wan Wan naturally understood Sakura's 'Ying' language, and even Guoguo's 'Yi Ya Guo' language, she could understand.
Very good! Excellent!
This was another irreplaceable advantage.
With Book Spirit Wan Wan, he would be able to communicate with other spirit beasts and even demonic creatures without any barriers in the future.
This ability was very useful in the wild; if they encountered intelligent spirit beasts or even demonic creatures, they could avoid many unnecessary conflicts.
Getting back to the main topic, Sakura was just greeting Wan Wan and complimenting Wan Wan's appearance as very cute and pretty.
"Thank you."
When facing humans, especially when being watched, Wan Wan would be nervous and scared.
But when facing spirit beasts, although she was still a little reserved and not completely at ease, she was clearly much more relaxed and natural.
Her manners were impeccable; Wan Wan very earnestly thanked Sakura and returned the compliment.
"Sakura, what a lovely name. You are also very beautiful and cute."
"Just like an elegant young lady."
It's unclear if she prepared beforehand, but in any case, Wan Wan's compliment hit the mark.
The phrase 'elegant young lady' instantly won Sakura's delight.
Sakura immediately picked a fruit from Guoguo's head and gave it to Wan Wan.
Just as Wan Wan was still hesitating whether to accept it.
She saw Guoguo jump up.
It wasn't the first time; she had stolen its fruit again!
Guoguo stomped her feet on the spot, chirping loudly, and jumped to bump into Sakura.
However, she was held down by Sakura's hand on her head, easily blocked.
Sakura used her other hand to place the fruit in Wan Wan's hand, indicating with a 'Ying' sound that it was fine and Guoguo wouldn't mind.
Immediately, Sakura and Guoguo started a big fight; they hadn't sparred today yet!
Watching this scene, Wan Wan covered her mouth and chuckled.
Such harmonious and loving interaction.
Just like sisters, just like her and Book Spirit Lili. No, it should be even closer and more intimate than her and Lili. Book Spirit benefits from wisdom but is also limited by it. Although she and Lili are close, they are ultimately influenced by human culture and often maintain a certain social distance, while Guoguo and Sakura are more purely spirit beasts.
At the same time, Wan Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The issue of spirit beasts getting along has always been the most headache-inducing problem for Beast Masters.
Even in the Eight Great Academies, spirit beast psychology and spirit beast relationship studies are very important courses.
Before this, Wan Wan was still a little worried.
Would Lin Chuan's spirit beasts be resistant to her arrival and joining?
Although rare, there indeed exist some individual spirit beasts that have a very strong possessive desire. Whenever a Beast Master contracts a new spirit beast, they feel that the Beast Master's affection has been divided, and they will then become very angry, often requiring the Beast Master to spend a long time to appease them.
Moreover, even if their emotions are appeased.
These possessive spirit beasts and the newly contracted spirit beasts will not get along harmoniously in a short period.
They often act normally in front of the Beast Master, but secretly they will still exclude the newly joined spirit beast, let alone cooperate tacitly in battle.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan's two spirit beasts had no such situation at all.
They showed no resistance or dislike towards her, Book Spirit Wan Wan's, arrival and joining.
Even Guoguo, whose intelligence was still relatively lacking, was mostly just curious about her.
That's right.
Wan Wan adjusted her large round glasses, muttering to herself.
Recalling the knowledge about Flower Leaf Leaf and Flower Spirit.
The Flower Leaf Leaf species and its evolutionary lineage are inherently gentle, friendly, and highly inclusive spirit beasts.
...
The interaction between spirit beasts.
It's not just a problem among the spirit beasts themselves; more crucially, it's about the Beast Master's guidance and coordination.
Otherwise, even the friendliest, gentlest, and most inclusive spirit beasts, over time, will develop conflicts due to various reasons such as species and living habits. If not handled and mediated promptly, it would be the Beast Master's dereliction of duty.
Lin Chuan didn't just let Wan Wan, Guoguo, and Sakura interact; he actively participated.
Wan Wan had just joined the group today, so she needed a chance to show off.
So, how to show off?
Of course, with knowledge. Too complex knowledge, let alone Guoguo, even Sakura wouldn't understand.
But isn't Wan Wan working part-time as a web novelist on the Big Tomato website? Then she must be good at telling stories.
Both Guoguo and Sakura, whose intelligence had grown a lot, loved listening to all kinds of stories!
As long as Wan Wan told a few interesting stories, she would quickly gain Guoguo and Sakura's admiration and goodwill.
It was decided then.
Tonight, they would have a storytelling session.
Lin Chuan said he would start by 'throwing a brick to attract jade,' directly adapting and telling a very famous fairy tale from his previous life.
thumbelina.
This was very fitting for the current situation, as Book Spirit Wan Wan also had a delicate and petite appearance, similar to thumbelina.
Wan Wan naturally understood Lin Chuan's intention, which was to help her integrate into the group. She was very happy, happy from the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, Wan Wan also loved this story very, very much.
This fairy tale seemed to be tailor-made for the Book Spirit species.
When Lin Chuan finished telling this fairy tale.
Wan Wan's eyes sparkled like stars; she truly loved this story too much.
She decided that she would engrave this fairy tale deeply into the deepest part of her consciousness as the most important and precious knowledge!
This was the fairy tale her Beast Master, Lin Chuan, had written for her!
She would be strong, brave, and fearless of difficulties, just like thumbelina in this fairy tale!
Originally, Wan Wan was actually still a tiny bit worried that Lin Chuan wasn't as good as she had expected and imagined, and that her hasty escape and pursuit were too irrational.
But now, Wan Wan was convinced.
Her escape, her pursuit for thousands of miles, was not wrong!
She had found the most suitable, and the best, the number one best Beast Master in the world!
Sakura and Guoguo, the two little ones, already had tears in their eyes.
Originally, they only welcomed Wan Wan to an ordinary extent.
But now, they welcomed and liked her super, super much.
thumbelina, thumbelina!
Isn't the delicate and petite Book Spirit Wan Wan just thumbelina!
Sakura instinctively released an illusion.
The surroundings transformed into a beautiful and fragrant boundless sea of flowers.
Butterfly spirit beasts flew, and misty green glow floated.
The wind gently blew, and one could even smell a faint, sweet floral scent.
In the sea of flowers.
Lin Chuan, Flower Spirit Sakura, and a bouncing Flower Leaf Leaf Guoguo.
Lin Chuan reached out to her, and Sakura and Guoguo gathered around.
"Welcome, Wan Wan."
