Chapter 184 - Is The Leopard A Masochist?

It did not take long before the small Golden Emperor Vine was gently wrapped around Bai Rouyun’s wrist, and the root of the plant was placed within the Primal Chaos Dimension.

Little Chu had been watching from the side, and his heart ached for the poor naive plant which had become subject to kidnapping.

Bai Rouyun did not care much for his thoughts. She had promised the plant that she would attempt to save the leopard, and she would not go back on her promise. After speaking with Xiao Bao, she took out numerous precious herbs that had been planted and grown within the dimension, and began to crush them into a paste.

The medicinal paste was much simpler to make than a pill. There were a few differences between medicinal pastes and pills: pills were meant to be eaten, while the pastes would be poured into water, and made medicinal baths, or smeared onto the body directly.

The paste that Bai Rouyun had made was a healing paste, which was meant to be smeared onto a wound, and it would be healed quickly.

The only thing was that the color of the liquid was deep red, and when it was smeared onto the beautiful white Cloud Leopard’s fur, it truly looked as if it was bathed in blood.

However, the leopard whimpered slightly as it felt the medicinal paste entering the wounds and began to heal them. It had not expected that such a situation would appear, but it began feeling clear headed as the wounds healed.

As its eyes returned to clarity, Bai Rouyun placed a pill in its mouth. This pill was a healing pill that would help the leopard produce more blood, as it had lost quite a bit due to the bleeding earlier.

The leopard was aware of everything which had happened during the time it had been preyed upon by the Golden Emperor Vine, but it was feeling mixed emotions.

This Cloud Leopard had taken the herb home with the intention of consuming it, but now their roles had been changed.

Even so, it did not feel any hostility towards the vine, as he had felt its leaves tremble in discomfort when it began to attack.

The Cloud Leopard had also been listening to the conversation between Bai Rouyun and the vine. It understood that this vine was actually not willing to consume its essence blood, but it was trying to force itself to do so.

While this Cloud Leopard was no gentle being, it still felt some affection towards the Golden Emperor Vine after spending so much time together, so it did not hold a grudge against it. Instead, it even pitied it somewhat.

Having been left alone while being only a seed, growing in an unfamiliar place, and being all alone from the beginning to the end. While the Cloud Leopard was also alone, it knew it had a family.

It could remember the time it was a cub, when it was taught how to behave by its mother, but this vine had only its instincts to base its actions on.

It nudged her and began whimpering. Its injuries had more or less healed, but the Cloud Leopard was still feeling fatigued, as it was trying to act pitiful in front of Bai Rouyun.

Bai Rouyun looked at the Cloud Leopard with a puzzled expression on her face. She was unsure what the beast wanted to do, but she patiently waited to see what was happening.

The vine on her wrist was trembling, and Bai Rouyun could feel the fear and discomfort of the Golden Emperor Vine as it waited to see the Cloud Leopard’s hostility towards it.

However, what it had expected did not occur, as the Cloud Leopard gently nudged its head against the vine as it let out a purr.

The action surprised everyone present. It would be quite a surprise if the Cloud Leopard chose to just let the situation pass, but now it seemed that it did not feel any hostility towards the vine, and instead held some affection.

Seeing the action of the Cloud Leopard, Bai Rouyun’s lips twitched, and she could not help but reach out her hand and let the vine get closer to the beast.

"Do you want to stay with the Golden Emperor Vine?" she asked, as her eyes glistened with confusion.

The Cloud Leopard roared slightly before it nodded its head. The action caused Bai Rouyun to feel somewhat unbelievable.

If it were her who had been in the place of the Cloud Leopard, she would feel pretty bad, having been almost eaten by the Golden Emperor Vine, but this one was forgiving it, and still wanted to stay with it. Was it a masochist, perhaps?

The Cloud Leopard was unaware of Bai Rouyun’s thoughts, but it kept looking at her with pitiful eyes, and eventually, she could only shake her head and agree to take it with her.

"Well, to bring you along, I will have to sign a contract with you," she said slowly, so that the leopard could understand the severity of the matter.

"The contract will be a normal contract, as I am not willing to sign a soul contract with any beast, as things are right now," she continued to explain. "But even if we do sign a normal contract, I will make sure to treat you well, and you will become one of my companions, not just a pet.

"However, when we do sign a contract, we cannot go back. We will become companions for life, and you will have to follow me to fly across the skies."

The Cloud Leopard looked at Bai Rouyun, and then glanced back at the vine that was wrapped neatly around her wrist. Although it said nothing, she clearly understood the accusation in its eyes.

She had not warned the Golden Emperor Vine of anything before she kidnapped it. Clearly, she had tricked it into following her.
