After bringing his new pets home, Li Feng took the fox out of the cage. As for the other two animals, he put them on a corner of the room and gave them some of the food that he just bought. All these animals were probably not given any food since they were captured so Li Feng felt a little bad for them.
While the rabbit and pigeon were eating on their own, Li Feng took the cute little fox on his lap and fed it some meat while rubbing its soft and fluffy fur gently. Obviously at first the little fox was very scared and uncomfortable but as Li Feng started to tend to her, she started to relax little by little.
The little fox had not eaten anything for a long time so it was obviously very hungry. So when she smelled the tasty meat, she was unable to hold herself back and took a small bite. After feeling that there was no problem with the meat, she started to take more and more quick bites.
Seeing the fox eating this meat in such a hurry, Li Feng found it very cute. He caressed the fluffy ears of the little white fox and said in a gentle voice.
"Lil fox, you don't need to eat in such a hurry. The food is not going anywhere. I promise that as long as I'm alive, you will not lack food. So take your time and eat slowly.'
After that Li Feng noticed that his words were effective and the fox started to eat at a more relaxed pace. This made Li Feng sure that this fox was definitely capable of understanding what he was saying. Finally Li Feng opened his system interface to see the details about this cute little fox.
[Name:
Race: Phantom Spirit Fox (partially awakened)
Gender: Female
Description: It is a young spirit fox born from the heaven and earth with special racial abilities. But it had a weak body since birth so it was unable to withstand the bloodline awakening and had lost its ability to cultivate.
Compatibility: Ultimate]
So it turned out that this little fox was a spirit beast. Spirit beasts were a bit special and were born directly from the heaven and earth without any parents. They were very rare and most of the time had some kind of special ability.
But this little fox was unlucky as it had a very weak constitution. So she was unable to withstand the bloodline awakening process and had become even sick. If she had not met Li Feng then she would have died within a year or two at most even in the best condition. But that would not be the case anymore as this little fox was now going to transform into a very powerful beast with Li Feng's Ultimate Upgradation card.
But instead of directly using it Li Feng decided to tell the little fox about it first. If it was an item then it was fine to just use the card directly but there was a high chance that Li Feng would be able to communicate with the fox after it had transformed so it was important for him to tell it about that beforehand.
Li Feng did not want to force this fox to become his servant but at the same time it was impossible for Li Feng to give up on something which could increase his strength by a huge margin. So if this fox did not agree he was going to be forceful but still Li Feng felt that it was just right to at least tell her about what he was planning to do with her.
So after making sure that the little fox had eaten her fill, Li Feng picked her up and put her on his eye level and looked at her seriously. Then he started telling her about his plans.
"Lil fox, I know that you're intelligent enough to understand me but don't worry I do not have any intention to harm you. I have a powerful item that can upgrade your bloodline and can solve the problem that you're facing currently. But in exchange you will not be able to disobey any of my words."
Telling her this much Li Feng stopped and gave the little fox some time to understand that he was sincere. Then he continued speaking.
"Upgrading your bloodline and getting you as my partner is very beneficial for me and my goals. So even if you do not want it, I still want to upgrade your bloodline.
But I promise you, if you willingly agree to my proposal, I will never give you any orders that will harm you or your interest in any way. And if you have any opinions, you are free to tell them to me. I will never betray any trust that you will put on me. That much I can promise. So what do you think about this proposal of mine ?"
...
The little fox looked at the human boy before her in surprise. Just after she was done eating her food, this boy gently picked her up. Lil fox was actually feeling comfortable with the gentle touch of the boy so she did not mind that at all. But when the boy said that he knew about her secret, she became very scared.
But this boy did not do any bad things with her and instead reassured her about many things. She was extremely surprised after learning that there was an item that could improve her bloodline. But the world was big so she was able to come to terms with this information.
As for whether this boy was lying to her or not, there was no reason for this boy to lie to a little powerless fox like her. From how this boy sounded, he was able to forcefully upgrade her bloodline and make her his servant even without her consent. But he still went out of his way to tell her about it. The Lil fox was very moved by this.
She did not want to die. She understood from her condition that even if she was able to run away from this place and was able to keep herself away from any danger, she would still not be able to live for a long.
She hated the idea to be under someone. Something in her blood told her that she was not meant to be inferior to anyone. But surprisingly when she thought about becoming this boy's servant, her blood did not reject this idea at all. Actually her instincts were telling her to accept his proposal.
It was her instincts that made her to call out to this boy and now it was telling her to accept him as her master. Lil fox had always thought that she was superior to other beasts because she was not controlled by her instincts but it turned out she was a beast at the end of the day and it was her instinct that had shown her the path to survival.
So the little fox did not hesitate anymore and strongly nodded her head while wagging her tail rapidly. Li Feng understood that the little fox had agreed to his proposal and he immediately asked his system to use an ultimate upgradation card on the little white fox.
Now it was time to see what this little fox would turn into.
