260: Chapter 260 Contract Fox

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was sent flying by Nie Ning's blade, crashing into the ground like a falling star.

Nie Ning wasn't doing much better; he was knocked back by the powerful recoil, slamming into the cliff face behind him.

At this moment, Nie Ning's chest was churning, blood dripped continuously from his torso, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Looking down, he saw a deep crater smashed into the ground. The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox lay in the pit, its fur stained red, gasping for breath on the brink of death.

Under the influence of his powerful self-healing ability, Nie Ning's injuries were quickly alleviated.

However, because the injuries were so severe, a intense wave of dizziness swept through his brain.

Nie Ning shook his head to stay conscious and immediately activated the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings. In an instant, the surrounding vegetation turned a withered yellow.

With the enhancement of the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, the wounds on Nie Ning's body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

However, Nie Ning soon deactivated the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings.

This was because although this skill was heaven-defying, it consumed an immense amount of energy.

After such a fierce battle, forget magic power—even his battle qi was nearly exhausted.

Ultimately, he was only a Third-Ring Wizard; fighting such a rare exotic beast was still somewhat taxing.

Furthermore, his inability to fully control this skill was a significant flaw.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was still within the range of the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings.

He had expended so much effort to heavily injure the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox; if it were accidentally drained to death by the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, he would truly have nowhere to vent his grief.

Once his injuries were somewhat relieved, Nie Ning immediately flew down to stand before the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox.

Although the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was severely wounded, its eyes gleamed with ferocity upon seeing Nie Ning, and it struggled to stand up.

"You have already lost. Do not make any more pointless struggles."

Nie Ning pointed his long blade directly at the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox, his voice indifferent.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox stood up shakily, baring its teeth at Nie Ning. "In your dreams! I would rather die than form a contract with you!"

"Fine, fine, quite the backbone you have."

Nie Ning let out a cold laugh, his eyes shifting slightly. "By the way, do you have any interspecies barriers? If I find a few Thunder-Sun Rhinos to bring over, do you think you'd give birth to a new species?"

Hearing this, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's eyes flared with murderous intent, and it suddenly opened its bloody maw to bite at Nie Ning.

But it was too heavily injured. Nie Ning's condition was clearly much better than its own; he dodged the attack and simultaneously slammed a punch into the fox's head.

Under the terrifying force, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the fierce look in the fox's eyes, Nie Ning raised his hand and summoned a large number of Ice Chains to bind it, rendering it unable to move.

"Wait right here. I'll go see what kind of exotic beasts are nearby. I can just contract a smaller one then; I just hope it isn't too ugly."

With that, Nie Ning turned to leave, intending to catch an exotic beast first.

"Despicable human, you will die a miserable death! Even if I have to self-destruct, I won't let you have your way!"

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's angry voice echoed in Nie Ning's mind.

Hearing this, Nie Ning turned around. A cold wave surged toward the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox, freezing its body into an ice sculpture to prevent it from self-destructing.

Next, Nie Ning loosened his belt and walked toward the rear of the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox.

"Since you're unwilling to mate with other exotic beasts, I'll just do it myself. Better to get it over with early."

Hearing Nie Ning's words and seeing his actions, the frozen Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's eyes filled with terror.

As a creature with high intelligence, it had some understanding of humans. It naturally knew the differences between itself and humans, and it knew that human aesthetics were completely different from those of exotic beasts.

But it never expected that such a perverted human actually existed in this world!

Seeing Nie Ning walk behind it, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox truly panicked.

"Wait, don't come over! I agree! I agree to sign the contract with you!"

Sensing the panicked mental fluctuations of the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox, a smile played on the corner of Nie Ning's mouth, and he proceeded to retie his belt.

To be honest, if the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox hadn't compromised, he really would have tried to see what an exotic beast tasted like today.

Anyway, no one was watching; as long as he didn't say anything, no one would know.

Nie Ning walked to the front of the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox and produced a Slave Contract.

Sensing the strength of the contract, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox immediately refused. "Change the contract! Otherwise, what if you force me to do *that* kind of thing!"

"Weren't you so loyal and virtuous? You can just self-destruct then. Maybe you can even take me with you."

Nie Ning curled his lip and spoke with a face full of disdain.

He wasn't Heloise; he naturally wouldn't coddle his contracted beasts.

In other words, he could allow a contracted beast to flee, but he absolutely would not allow one to desert without permission.

If Chi Yu had still been there, perhaps Heloise wouldn't have fallen into the spatial rift at all.

If the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox acted like Chi Yu, he wouldn't mind sending it straight to reincarnation instead of letting it be.

"You! Damned human! Then you might as well just kill me!"

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox roared in exasperation.

Nie Ning adjusted his trousers. "Then why don't I enjoy myself first? Once I've decided when to kill you, then you can die."

At this sight, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox completely broke down.

It seriously suspected that the human before it was mentally unstable!

"I'll sign! I'll sign..."

In the end, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox sullenly surrendered its soul imprint.

As the Slave Contract took form, a pattern of a fox's head appeared on Nie Ning's forearm.

"That's more like it. I'm not an unreasonable person. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you in the future."

Nie Ning smiled and retied his belt again.

At this moment, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's eyes were full of fury, wishing it could bite this damned human to death!

As Nie Ning thawed the ice, the heavily injured Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox collapsed weakly on the ground.

Nie Ning crouched down and placed his hand on the fox. It instinctively tried to bite him, but a sharp, intense pain immediately shot through its mind.

Testing the contract for the first time, Nie Ning felt it worked quite well.

"Behave yourself. I'm healing you. If you keep moving, you really will die."

A green light began to glow from Nie Ning's hand, and a surge of life energy immediately began to pour into the fox's body.

Compared to the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, conventional life force manipulation was clearly inferior.

Even though the magic power in Nie Ning's body was nearly exhausted, it was only enough to heal the fox's external injuries.

However, it had to be said that the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox's will was incredibly firm.

Even though it was injured to such a wretched state, it hadn't fainted from the severity of its wounds; it continued to stare at him without blinking.

One could only say it was worthy of being a rare exotic beast; not only was it beautiful, but its stats in all areas were also formidable.

In reality, the Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was afraid Nie Ning would do *that* kind of thing to it while it was unconscious, so it forced itself to resist the urge to sleep, not daring to close its eyes.
