"We meet again," the Suspended Island Sky Roc glanced at the Sìxiàng, not recognizing the Legendary Bloodline, so it decided to cozy up to the Sìxiàng first.
"Long time no see," Chen Xing's figure emerged from the Sìxiàng and then hopped onto Taotie's back.
Witnessing this scene, the pupils of the Suspended Island Sky Roc widened simultaneously.
Damn, is this kid really that bold?
To actually dare to jump directly onto the back of a legend.
And what's more important is, the legend had no reaction to this.
This is stepping on the back of a legend!
Which legend isn't incredibly proud, how could it tolerate someone stepping on its body so casually, as if it were being used as a mount?
The Suspended Island Sky Roc took a deep breath, and large swathes of lingering clouds swirled in the air.
Could it be this human kid has a god for a dad?
No, that's not right, humans can only become Beast Tamers, could it be that he has a god-level Beast Tamer for a dad.
Thinking this, a trace of reverence couldn't help but appear in the depths of the Suspended Island Sky Roc's eyes.
Unlike those young monsters who boast about crushing the skies, the earth, and the air, those who do not hold gods or legends in their eyes, believing that bloodlines are merely shackles, and that with an invincible heart one can defeat everything.
It was old.
This behemoth that once claimed to be the disaster of the skies had come to terms with reality during its imprisonment of over ten thousand years.
Back then, it was sheer luck that it had avoided disaster.
This time, it might not be so fortunate. Stay tuned with empire
"You... do you know this esteemed person of the Legendary Bloodline?" the Suspended Island Sky Roc asked hesitantly.
An esteemed person of the Legendary Bloodline?
Chen Xing felt a bit strange inside, then seemed to realize something. When had this Demon Eagle become so humble? It used to be very arrogant.
"I've known for quite a while," Chen Xing nodded indiscernibly.
The Suspended Island Sky Roc's heart leapt with joy, "I've long admired the Legendary Bloodline, but never found an approach. I wonder if I may follow by your side."
Looking at the data panel of the Suspended Island Sky Roc, it had an Energy Level of 198, a bona fide peak of Transcendence.
Moreover, the peak Energy Level surpassed 200+, and it had been heard that its realm had dropped, which means it too must have experienced Ascension during its peak.
And it was only 3 Energy Levels away from Ascension, so with sufficient resources, ascending would not be difficult.
Chen Xing began to ponder whether to accept the Suspended Island Sky Roc's submission.
He possessed the Gourmet Space, and carrying it around wasn't a difficult task.
But doing so would have exposed the ability of his Gourmet Space.
This Suspended Island Sky Roc, having seen much and being knowledgeable, definitely wouldn't be as easily fooled as those Gnolls.
Of course, the Gourmet Space wasn't an especially rare ability.
After all, Storage Ornaments existed, so having a small space capable of storing living things was not an extraordinary ability.
But if it followed him closely for a long time, it would definitely expose some of his unique traits.
While Chen Xing thought it over, the Suspended Island Sky Roc continued, "My lord, I am willing to sign a contract of subordination."
The Shadow attached to the Sìxiàng hesitated slightly; this Demon Eagle really was willing to go to great lengths.
A contract of subordination was a contract even lower in status than its cohabitation contract.
If the cohabitation contract represented a balanced scale, then the contract of subordination was a completely unequal contract.
Just as the name implied, one would completely become subordinate to the other party, just like the Gnoll tribes under the command of a dragon. Of course, not all Gnolls had the qualifications to sign a contract of subordination with a dragon, usually only the king of the Gnolls would have the opportunity to sign a contract with a dragon.
Of course, the contract of subordination also had its benefits.
If the bloodline of the dominant party was strong, that powerful bloodline would in turn contaminate the weaker bloodline, granting it a certain enhancement.
Just like the Gnoll shamans with the dragon bloodline.
However... a contract of subordination with a Legendary Bloodline was indeed a fair deal.
The Shadow thought to itself.
In reality, the Suspended Island Sky Roc was considering even more. The person before it possessed not only a Legendary Bloodline but also divinity, and it was this combination that made it willing to humble itself so thoroughly.
"What is a contract of subordination?" the Sìxiàng asked aloud.
The Suspended Island Sky Roc was about to explain when it realized the question was addressed to the Shadow, so it quickly shared the knowledge related to the contract of subordination.
But when Chen Xing heard that the master of the contract could force the subordinate's bloodline to collapse under certain conditions, he secretly nodded in agreement.
If there was a guarantee, then it was acceptable.
He was not naive. For him, at this stage, the joining of the Suspended Island Sky Roc truly could fill the gap in his high-end combat power.
Even though he had high-level carnivorous pet food, and with a very high Beast Mastery Bloodline, the growth rate was rapid.
But it all wasn't instantaneous, it wasn't about just adding a point and immediately becoming level 999.
And this contract of subordination seemed a bit special. If the effects were good, it could be used on that group of Twin-fiend Dogs.
He certainly wouldn't be lacking in high-quality Beast Taming bloodlines to give back to these Twin-fiend Dogs, to let their bloodlines evolve.
Chen Xing looked towards Taotie, "I think it's a good idea, you should consider it."
Since a contract hadn't been signed yet, Chen Xing couldn't reveal that Taotie was the very creature the Suspended Island Sky Roc recognized. Although it was unlikely that the other party would recognize it, since Taotie had changed greatly, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Otherwise, the other party would only need to give it a little thought to guess that he had the ability to evolve Beast Mastery bloodlines.
Would the Suspended Island Sky Roc keep the same mindset then?
Chen Xing always preferred to assume a conservative approach when guessing others' thoughts.
He didn't dare bet on human nature, let alone beast nature.
Taotie widened its eyes: Huh?
Are you asking me?
I really had no idea!
Seeing Taotie with angry, bulging eyes and a suddenly stern aura, the Suspended Island Sky Roc's heart trembled, thinking its own thoughts had been too offensive.
It was just about to admit its mistake.
When it heard Chen Xing cough and say, "I think it's not bad, you should consider it carefully."
Sìxiàng was speechless at such an obvious hint. Even he could see it.
But this big fool still hadn't understood.
Taotie might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but it always believed that what its master said was right.
The master said it was not bad and told it to consider carefully.
Could it be that master was preparing to cultivate my thinking ability!?
Taotie had a flash of insight and felt that it grasped its master's true intentions.
Immediately, Taotie cast a haughty glance at the Suspended Island Sky Roc and said with pride, "Any monster can become my subordinate? Then am I, the great King Taotie, eating so much for nothing?"
"..." Chen Xing.
The light dimmed in the eyes of the Suspended Island Sky Roc.
Then, Taotie pivoted in conversation, "Unless you can catch me lots of food."
The Suspended Island Sky Roc's eyes lit up, its mood swinging like a roller coaster.
Catch a lot of food?
Indeed, the nutrients needed by a Legendary Bloodline certainly couldn't be matched by ordinary monsters.
So, a need for a vast amount of meat was understandable.
But it glanced at Taotie's large frame from the corner of its eye and felt a bit intimidated, doubting whether it could ever satisfy its appetite, even if it tried its hardest...
"I'll do my best," said the Suspended Island Sky Roc with a trembling voice.
After speaking, a smaller spiritual shadow of the Suspended Island Sky Roc split from its body, with a miniaturized "subordinate" character on the shadow's forehead.
Shadow confirmed to Chen Xing that this was a subordinate contract.
Taotie carelessly accepted the contract.
After the subordinate contract was signed, the Suspended Island Sky Roc felt a void in its heart.
It felt as though it had taken on a new shackle, but also relieved itself of an old burden.
Suddenly, the Suspended Island Sky Roc realized that aside from having a master, there was another contract on its master that seemed to override it.
Following the trail of the contract, it discovered that the origin traced back to the man before it.
In that moment, countless thoughts exploded in the Suspended Island Sky Roc's mind.
It stared blankly at Chen Xing.
"Is it you!?" exclaimed the Suspended Island Sky Roc, dumbstruck and incredulous.
This noble Legendary Bloodline was actually the Beast Mastery servant of the man before it!
Recalling how Chen Xing had deliberately inquired of Taotie, how could the Suspended Island Sky Roc not realize that this was a coordinated act?
A wave of frustration welled up inside it, but the contract had been signed, and it was too late for regrets now.
Yet, the Suspended Island Sky Roc still harbored some doubts.
Even if it had known in advance that this Legendary Bloodline was the other's Beast Taming creature, it might have continued with the contract regardless.
There was no need for such concealment.
Unless there was something he didn't want it to know.
What could need hiding so much... could it be that the Legendary Bloodline was fake?
The Suspended Island Sky Roc quickly checked, only to discover that the other source of its subordinate contract was connected to an immensely vast origin, where it fleetingly sensed something immensely noble.
The bloodline was not an issue!
If the bloodline was fine, then it must be something else.
Suddenly, the Suspended Island Sky Roc sensed a familiar aura through the contract.
This familiar aura... it seemed to recognize it.
After discerning carefully, it suddenly realized that it had encountered it before!
It's him!!!
The Suspended Island Sky Roc's heart trembled.
Suddenly, everything made sense.
It looked deeply at the human in front of it, such a profound mind... but only someone like this deserved to be the ultimate master of a Demon Eagle like me!
The Suspended Island Sky Roc, though initially a bit uncomfortable, quickly adjusted itself.
It clearly sorted out its current status and position.
If resistance was futile, then it might as well enjoy it.
Isn't that what life is all about?
Moreover, since the other party had such an unfathomable ability, even able to evolve a Legendary Bloodline, as long as it ensured enough loyalty and worth...
It might also have a chance in the future.
Even if it couldn't reach the level of a Legendary Bloodline, it wouldn't despise a Forbidden Bloodline either.
"First, you go to a place; your size is too large for most places, and they can't accommodate you. Don't resist in a moment," Chen Xing said as he waved his hand, summoning the Suspended Island Sky Roc into the Gourmet Space.
In the Gourmet Space, the Suspended Island Sky Roc looked around and was a bit astonished.
This was actually a small world, somewhat like the Divine Country of the gods.
