Knock!
When someone knocked on the door softly, Ayla and Sylvia immediately ran towards the door excitedly. Li Fenghai was also interested and looked at the door in anticipation, as his interest in beasts was high since his job was also related to them.
Creak.
The door cracked open, revealing a tall, broad-shouldered man holding the small wolf around 22 cm long and 16 cm tall. The man gave a polite nod as he looked at everyone before looking down at the two little girls in front of him.
"Can we hug Little White?" Ayla asked with a cute, begging expression while both the little girls opened their arms widely as if they were ready to welcome the little wolf.
"Bring it here." Cain said it with a smile when he saw the hesitation on the man's expression because he knew that it wasn't a good choice to give the cub to ordinary people, let alone two ordinary little girls.
When Cain saw the unhappy expression of the little girls, he explained. "Little White needs to be tamed first before both of you can play with him. Remember that he's still a wild beast and could at least hurt you."
Ayla and Sylvia smiled awkwardly as they forgot this simple fact since their emotions were filled with excitement. They then followed the man obediently towards Cain. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
Grrr.
The little wolf growled, showing his teeth when he was being handed over by the man to Cain.
"Little guy, be a good boy." Cain smiled kindly as he picked up the little wolf.
The little wolf reacted by biting Cain's hand continuously since he felt uncomfortable and scared when he was being picked up by the unknown young human.
Cain laughed and petted the little wolf's head softly. "Little guy, you will hurt yourself if you bite me."
He then added, "If you're hungry, I have the perfect prey for you." Cain scares Ayla away by extending his hands in front of Ayla.
"Ahhhh!" Ayla shouted as she was frightened before immediately hiding behind Sylvia, who was startled by Cain's sudden movement.
"See? This is why you shouldn't play with wild beasts." Cain shook his head as he thought that the best way to teach someone was to let them experience it themselves.
"Little guy, come see your big brother." Cain hugged the little wolf, who was writhing in his arms.
Nix, who had been waiting for this moment for a while, immediately came to Cain and jumped on his lap. The little wolf tilted his head when he sensed that there was another beast near him.
Even though Nix suppressed his size to be just a little bit bigger than the little wolf, he was still a genuine dragon and a much stronger beast compared to the little wolf. That's why when the little wolf noticed Nix, he somehow became scared unknowingly.
Roar!
Nix roared while looking at the little wolf affectionately.
The little guy shivered and became afraid as he looked away, hiding in Cain's arms since his instinct told him that the little dragon in front of him was really strong.
"Little guy, don't be scared." Cain petted the little wolf softly, reassuring him to not be scared.
After pausing for a moment, he then continued. "Do you want to be as strong as him? And become even stronger than your parents?"
The little wolf instantly stopped being scared and looked at Cain when it heard that he could even become stronger than his parents, whom it really adored.
The reason why the king sold this wolf cub was because the king discovered that it had an unknown disease that he couldn't cure and hoped that by auctioning the wolf, someone who could cure it would bid or at least help him to treat it.
Naturally, this was also a way to bid farewell to the little wolf, as he could only hope for someone to take care of it and let nature take its course.
That's why the monarch wanted to publicize that the wolf cub had an illness, hoping that someone who could treat it would win the bid or at least ask people to spread the word.
He even came to deliver the little wolf by himself when he heard the news that someone could cure the little wolf and was also going to take it in.
"Little guy, become my contracted beast, and I promise I'll help you become stronger quickly. Naturally, I'll also help you in curing your disease." Cain said with a smile as he continued petting the little wolf.
Woof!
The little wolf barked excitedly when it heard that Cain could cure his disease, which even no one could cure.
"Okay. Let's make a contract first." Cain smiled as he asked the system in his heart. "System, how do you contract a beast in this case?"
Cain asked because he only knew the procedure for contracting the beast when they were still inside the egg and hadn't hatched yet.
"Just drop your blood in the little wolf's head." The system replied.
Subsequently, Cain bit his thumb, dropped blood on the little wolf's forehead, and waited. The little girls were impatiently waiting as they couldn't wait to play with the cute little wolf.
After a few seconds, Cain finally felt the same inexplicable connection between them as he had felt previously with Nix.
Naturally, the little wolf also felt the same feeling and immediately rubbed his head on Cain's chest and enjoyed the feeling of being embraced by his master.
As Cain was still embracing the little guy in his arms, he noticed that the little girls were already extremely excited and looked at Cain with a cute, pleading look.
Cain shook his head helplessly before putting the little wolf in front of Nix. "Little guy, I will call you Little White starting now. And this is your big brother, Nix."
Nix stepped forward and gave Little White a soft pat while roaring in a low voice, as if to say, "This big bro would take care of you from now on."
Little White barked in response and accepted the pat happily.
A few seconds later,
"Go on." Cain finally gave permission for the little girls to play with Little White.
"Nix, let's play together later!" Ayla immediately came forward and pushed Nix aside before grabbing Little White and hugging him.
She then handed Little White to Sylvia after enjoying hugging him for a few seconds. "Big Sis Sylvia, your turn."
Sylvia also became excited and hugged Little White softly because she noticed that he was suffocated by Ayla since Ayla hugged him too tightly.
"It's okay, Nix. Let them play with your little brother first." Cain picked up Nix and petted him softly before looking at the king, who stood obediently by the side.
"Prepare these ingredients." Cain listed a few ingredients as they were needed to make the pill for curing Little White.
Cain actually got another mission the moment he saw Little White, it was to cure his disease. However, he didn't take it seriously since the mission wasn't hard, as he only needed to get the ingredients and ask Fenix to make it.
Nevertheless, the one that caught his interest was actually the reason why Little White got the disease. It was actually his talents that were beyond his body that it couldn't handle, resulting in Little White's sickness that he might not be able to live long because of it.
Unfortunately, no one in this Low-level world could detect it, and for the king, who had only reached the peak of king rank, he couldn't ask forces like the Starlight Auction House to fully help him out since he couldn't afford the price for it.
"Go ask the manager to gather the resources that Young Master Cain had mentioned." Old Feng chimed in, thinking that it would be too slow if the king prepared the materials himself, and since it was related to Cain, he would naturally offer to help.
"Thank you." The king thanked him as he bowed deeply towards Cain.
"There's no need for that since Little White is like my family now." Cain waved his hand dismissively.
The king then bid farewell to everyone, including Little White, before leaving the room and looking for the manager of the Starlight Auction House.
A minute later, after the Starlight Auction House announced that the final auction would be delayed for a moment, the auctioneer finally showed up with an apologetic smile across her face, making everyone present wonder what had happened that they delayed the auction just now.
"I'm sorry for the delay because there are some changes for the final item." The auctioneer bowed slightly and continued. "First of all, for some reason, we can't show you the Ice Dragon's blood essence, but we guarantee with our reputation on the line that it's a genuine blood essence from the Ice Dragon who had reached Conqueror Rank."
Pausing for a moment, the auctioneer continued with a smile. "The way you bid this time is also different because we will bid blindly, and we will send people to you to retrieve the bid price. We will give three chances for everyone to bid their highest because the highest bid in the end will be the final winner. Naturally, there's a high starting price this time so that we wouldn't waste too much time. The starting price this time is 10 million Low Rank King Crystals or something equivalent to that."
After the auctioneer explained it, the hall immediately filled with commotion once again, ranging from someone being excited to someone who was pissed because they couldn't even see the blood essence.
