"Is that such a surprise? Either way, can we get back to the matter at hand? Or is that your answer, that you do not want to upgrade your bodies?" Yue asked while getting a little annoyed that while they were asking for something, they completely ignored his efforts, but stayed calm.

The three quickly quieted down, and tried to accept the new truth, that to them felt bigger than if the sun was rising in the west.

​​

"Sorry, we would love that, however our reaction was just because it is not everyday that you hear about such a cultivator, let alone meet one of their disciples." Shen Hu said while trying to appease Yueliang.

"Alright, I get it. However, let us not speak about this for a while. If you are so excited, just wait until you meet him. Although first, I have to find him again, which should be pretty quick once we are out in space." Yue said calming them down, as he could see the three did not want to miss such an opportunity.

"I agree." The snow leopard said.

"To what specifically?" Huoli asked her.

"Well, Yueliang asked if I would go into a contract with him. I am saying that I agree to it now."

Yue then intervenes. "Before that happens, I have a question. Is this solely because of my master or you actually want to be with us?"

"Both are wrong. Firstly, although I may be interested in such a cultivator, I would never enter a contract for that. Second, it is because (saying shyly) of you, you are strong, and attractive. Also, while it would be amazing to travel space, animals are only attracted to and follow the strong, right Shen Hu?" She says.

"Yes." Shen Hu answers swiftly as he spoke the truth, while also knowing what she was trying to pull, and thinking to himself. '*sigh. This little snow leopard will be putting on quite the show in the future. I wonder, will she succeed, or fail in her endeavor. Hmm, oh well, guess I will just watch and see what happens.'

"Okay, so let us begin." Yue said as he gently reached out his hand, clasping her soft paw in his hand, then the two began to merge their chi, to form a contract. Shen Hu, and Huoli just saw and watched in their human forms, while sipping their hot herbal tea.

---- A Few Minutes Later ----

"The contract is complete." Yue took the once again manifested contract and put it in his inventory, then continues. "I apologies for making you both wait while we did this." Yue said kind of embarrassed that they had to wait.

"It is no problem at all my king. By the way, what would you like to do now?" Shen Hu replies.

"I was thinking about giving this little snow leopard her name first, then maybe we could take a walk? We have not really hung around each other to much lately. What do you all think?" Yue asks.

"Sounds good." Shen Hu and Houli reply.

"Really, yay." The little snow leopard says with stars beaming from her eyes.

"Alright, shall we head out first? I would prefer a change of scenery personally." Yue says while thinking about one of the gardens or parks.

The three then nodded and got up with Yueliang. As they were leaving, Yue left the money on the table for the waitress to collect, as well as her tip. They continue walking along the clean and pretty fantasy looking streets of this town. Stopping in their tracks, they see that they have arrived at their destination and they look around.

"It is so pretty here." The little snow leopard says while hopping around and playing.

"This seems like the perfect place to have our baby." Huoli said.

Shen Hu replies with a nod. "I agree."

Yueliang intervenes and says. "Shall we get to the naming?"

As he said that, the two tigers sat facing Yueliang wanting to witness this, with the little female snow leopard sitting in front of them waiting patiently and excited.

"Well, now that we have gotten to this point, I think I have come up with the perfect name. Xue Meiren." Yue called out to her as if she was already named, asking. "Do you accept your name?"

"Yes, yes, definitely yes. By the way, do you really think I am beautiful?" Xue Meiren asked.

"Well I am a man of my word, I speak the truth." Yue replied, then started thinking to himself. 'I wonder how she is holding up? If only we knew where Xue was, I could rescue her much faster. Hopefully she does well, however knowing these scums type, I am sure that is not the case.'

"Yueliang, are you alright?" Xue Meiren asks, while Shen Hu and Huoli stare and wonder as well.

"Hmm, oh yes. I am fine, sorry, just some memories of someone I lost." Yue replies kind of disheartened.

"Were they someone dear to you?" Huoli speaks up this time.

"Yes, many people actually, however I am sure they are much happier now." Yue replies.

"I see" Huoli replied, as all three looked a little serious as that happened.

Although the instant that happened Shen Hu speaks up saying. "Although you may have lost some in the past, you have gained more now right? Even if that was not the case, they would want you to still live your life right? Plus if they are happier now as you say, then should you not be happy for them?"

"You are right, and I am. It is not that I really feel too attached, as I am used to people dying or leaving, however the problem is just how those people died I guess." Yue said with a forced smile, as he turns to look at the evening sky in the beautiful garden full of many kinds of flowers and trees.

Shen Hu, Huoli, and Xue Meiren all walk to his side, and sit to watch the sun set with him. They all sat in silence as they watched the sun go down. As they grew increasingly tired they lay down right in the garden, watching the dual moons rise until they eventually fall asleep.

While Shen Hu, Huoli, and Xue Meiren fell asleep, Yue watched and thought to himself. 'It is interesting, the people on this planet also live longer because of the second moon, along with cultivation not that they know it. Either way, the second moon also increase the size of the tide, thus their ports must have a special design or something. Wait, do they even have ports here?'

Yue just continues to think to himself about many things throughout the night, and eventually saying very quietly. "Status."

'Well at least it seems I have gained a bit, but how high can my stats really go? Also, what is the purpose of this, I doubt my ancestor mad this just too keep us from dying or out of boredom. I really do wonder if he is still alive. It is difficult to imagine him dying if he can create such a thing.' Yueliang thought to himself, while petting the adorable and warm animals lying all around him.

'I guess there is no need to worry about it, however what should I do from here? How should I really save her? However before I do, I should just ask what she really wants, before taking her. Right, how could I forget. Yang.'

"Yes master? *yawn." Yang replied.

'Do you sleep?' Yue asked.

"Not really, however considering I know where this is going, it is mentally exhausting even for a system.' Yang replied and then continues. 'You want to know if there is a way to send her a thought or soul communication, am I wrong?"

'You are right, is there?'

"Yes, and technically you already have the ability, however you are missing a key component thus I will have to do it for you unless you get a different skill. Do you want to continue? It costs 100 shop credits per minute."

'Let us do it.'

"You should start speaking in your mind, unless you want to waste time." Yang said.

'Xue, are you alright? Do you know where you are?'

'Yue (*sobbing noises) you are alive, please come save me, I do not know where I am, but it is terrible. I am getting 'tortured' every day and night. Please come here, please help.' Xue replied.

'I will do my best, the moment I find you I will be on my way.' Yue said then ended the transmission.

"Master you might want to..."

'She is alive, and still wants me.' Yue thought with a smile, forgetting about how ticked he was that they were doing such things to her, and thinking. 'I have to hurry and find her.'

"Master, you might want to know..."

'Well, I should get some rest, and continue looking tomorrow.' Yue thought to himself completely forgetting about Yang. Yue fell asleep quickly excited for the next day to come.

---- The Next Morning At Sunrise ----

*Yawn, All four woke up, from their good nights rest, all in natural forms.
