Chapter 501: Second Beast Contract
On earth, Zhang Fei [5] had already arrived above the Amazon forest, and it was not difficult for him to find the beast with Mei's help. The thunderbird boasts a massive body adorned with golden feathers, a head resembling that of an eagle, six wings spread across three sections of its body, and two long tails.
However, it appeared to be in a state of hibernation, and there was a lightning field surrounding its body.
"This beast is truly huge, yet no human has noticed its presence in this forest." Zhang Fei [5] muttered to himself as he watched the thunderbird, which curled up on the ground under the shade of the trees. "Scan that bird, Mei."

Zhang Fei [5] looked disappointed after he read Lei Que's status. "A male beast, huh? Initially, I intended to gift this bird to Zhong Yan, but I changed my mind, and I decided to make him my second contract beast."
[Hahaha! You are such a possessive and jealous man, master!]
"No man can stay near my wife, even if they are contract beasts." However, Zhang Fei [5] felt that there was something strange about the beasts on earth, including the thunderbird. "Hey, Mei, have you noticed anything unusual about the lifespan of these beasts? Except for Jie Yuan, all of them are only around 250 years old, and their cultivation stuck at a 10-Star level.
Therefore, I believe the disappearance of Qi from this planet occurred not too long ago, likely within their lifespan. Unfortunately, neither they nor the system have definitive information about it."
[The only way for us to find out about this matter is to meet the cultivators who previously lived on Earth, Master. Unfortunately, this universe is too vast, and there are countless realms within it, so we can only rely on luck to meet them. Perhaps we can find some of them in the Xianjin realm, but that realm is still too far away from your reach.]
Zhang Fei [5] didn't want to think too much about it and slowly landed toward the thunderbird's location, but the lightning surrounding him immediately struck him.
*Zap... Zap... Zap...*
Zhang Fei [5] didn't avoid it and stretched his hand forward, especially since Hong Xinxin often beat Zhang Xiaolong [3] with her lightning, so he wanted to test his body's strength to withstand the lightning.
In an instant, Zhang Fei [5] was electrocuted by that lightning, and it caused him quite a bit of pain. "God damn it! Even though his cultivation is far below that of Hong Xinxin, his lightning still causes immense pain."
[Hahahaha! I told you before that his lightning would not be inferior to Hong Xinxin, so he is the right choice to help you train your lightning body cultivation technique.]
*Zap... Zap... Zap...*
Another lightning strikes towards him again, but he still doesn't avoid it and continues to float down to the ground. However, his arrival makes the thunderbird, which was previously still in hibernation, immediately open his eyes.
Lei Que looked furious as he glared fiercely at Zhang Fei [5], but he immediately summoned Boitata and the other contract beasts out of the beast space, except for Hai Ma, who was an aquatic beast.
Lei Que's beast instincts instantly kicked in as soon as he saw Boitata, and his body shivered uncontrollably as he realized that the dragon serpent was much stronger than him. Even Jie Yuan, Hu Er, Hu Yi, You Bai, and Lan Zhen were significantly stronger than him, particularly after Zhang Fei had taught them the dual cultivation technique and supplied them with his yang qi.
"So, he is the last beast on this planet, Master?" Boitata inquired, gazing at Lei Que with a playful smile on her face. She immediately destroyed the lightning field, causing the thunderbird to tremble even more.
"Yeah." Zhang Fei [5] immediately transformed into his half-fox form, surprising the thunderbird. "As you can see, I am a beast like you, and I came here because I need you, so I want to make a contract with you. Moreover, you should have realized the power of my bloodline, and I could force you to submit to me easily, but I don't want to do that.
You are the last beast on this planet, and you have no one here. If you are willing to become my contract beast, then I will take you to a much higher realm where you can continue your cultivation there, and you don't have to live alone in this kind of place anymore. If you choose to follow me, I dare to guarantee that you won't regret it, and I will assist you in becoming as strong as they are."
"Hey! Stupid bird! My master didn't lie to you!" Jie Yuan also spoke to the thunderbird, as he seemed doubtful of Zhang Fei [5]. She then pointed at the wind weasel, You Bai. "The two of us used to live on this planet, just like you, but we decided to follow him. Our cultivation has greatly improved since then, so you don't need to doubt him.
Furthermore, we now reside in the middle realms, where the Qi is exceptionally strong, enabling us to cultivate even more quickly."
You Bai swiftly approached Lei Que, aiding Zhang Fei [5] in persuading him. "In fact, I only followed him for three months because my master was his wife, and my cultivation was still the same as yours at that time, but I have already broken through to the soul realm now. Although you are a male beast and you cannot use our method to cultivate, I believe he can still help you become very strong.
That's why you don't need to hesitate anymore and become his contract beast, especially since it will give you many benefits."
Unlike them, Lan Zhen seemed indifferent about the thunderbird, but the two python-tailed tigresses roared at Lei Que several times as if they wanted to convince him to accept Zhang Fei [5]'s offer.
"This foolish bird! They have already told you like that, but you still keep on doubting." Boitata immediately released a bit of her sovereign aura to suppress Lei Que, but Zhang Fei [5] right away slapped her butt really hard. "Ouch!"
"Don't be too conceited." Zhang Fei [5] immediately squatted in front of Lei Qiu and showed him the three beast pills. "These pills are truly precious, and I am the only person who has them in this universe. They will temper your body, increase your talent, and help your beast rank increase. However, I will only give them to those closest to me, so you should think about it seriously.
Whether you want to continue to be lonely and die alone on this planet, or you want to become strong and see the vastness of the universe with us, the choice is in your hands now."
Although Lei Que was doubtful about the effects of the pills, the presence of Boitata and the others convinced him enough that Zhang Fei [5] could help him become strong, leading him to ultimately choose to accept his offer. "All right, I will be your contract beast."
"That's good."
After that, Zhang Fei [5] immediately made a contract with the thunderbird, and a golden bird tattoo appeared on his forehead for a moment before disappearing again, indicating that the contract between them had been established.
Afterwards, Zhang Fei [5] gave the three beast pills, five basic pills, and a Yang Purifying Pill to Lei Que. "You can swallow them later, and I will send you into my beast space together with them."
"Yes, Master." Zhang Fei [5] then sent all the contracted beasts into his beast space.

After he had had his fill of having fun with Orith for two whole weeks, and the succubus duchess was also satisfied with it, Zhang Fei [4] decided to talk to her about Balena. "Why do you want that woman? Is it because she's hot? Anyway, she's much stronger than me, so I won't be able to help you defeat her if she attacks you, and she'll probably kill us once you set her free."
"Hehe." Zhang Fei[4] chuckled at that. "I knew that she was strong, but I've been talking to her since the three of you went to the demon emperor city a month and a half ago. Furthermore, I've listened to all her stories, and I know that she killed those demons because they attacked her first. If I were in her position, I would definitely kill them too, so I don't think she's a bad woman."
Orith sighed softly before nodding at Zhang Fei [4]. "You're right, they did attack that woman first, and we captured her because she attacked us first."
"Naturally, she attacked you guys because you were protecting her assaulters, and she wouldn't have done that if the circumstances were different, right?" Orith did not refute Zhang Fei [4]. "Even though she's not as beautiful or sexy as you, she's much prettier and sexier compared to your subordinates.
Moreover, her demon power is truly strong, and it can help my demon rank to reach the duke rank as soon as possible, so I want her by my side."
"All right, you can have that woman." Orith immediately brought Zhang Fei [4] down from the bed and pulled him out of the room without getting dressed. "Even if you think she is a good woman, you must not remove the demon-sealing artifact from her just in case something unexpected happens, and you can control her more easily."
A while later, they had arrived at Balena's prison room, so Zhang Fei [4] immediately removed the blindfold and the ball from her eyes and mouth. The sight of his naked body, especially his lower body, flushed the female demon whale's cheeks. "Orith has agreed to release you at my request, but she won't let me remove the demon-sealing artifact from you, so you must stay in this tower.
Otherwise, the other demons might do bad things to you, especially since you won't be able to use your demon abilities."
"I'm fine with that." Balena immediately agreed with Zhang Fei [4], especially since he had long told her about his plans for her, and she just needed to wait for the right time for him to take her away from the tower.
Balena immediately fell into Zhang Fei's arms after he removed all the chains from her hands and feet, especially considering how many years she had spent chained there.
Even though she was naked, Balena no longer cared about it, especially since Zhang Fei [4] had seen her body too many times in the past month and a half.
Zhang Fei [4] immediately carried Balena in his arms. "Is there an empty room for her, Orith?"
"No need for that." Orith then hugged Zhang Fei [4]'s waist and led him out of the underground. "There is a long sofa in my room, and she will submit to you faster if she often watches us having sex, so bringing her to live with us is the best choice."
Balena raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing that, but she didn't have any other choice because her demon power was still sealed, so she didn't say anything to refute Orith.
'It's okay; you don't have to worry about that. I will never touch you without your permission, and I will immediately send you away somewhere else if the opportunity arises.' Once they arrived at Orith's room, Zhang Fei [4] immediately laid Balena down on the long sofa and gave her two pills without the succubus duchess' knowledge.
'Swallow them; you will recover quickly, and you can move freely later.'
'Thank you.' Balena immediately swallowed the two pills before closing her eyes, especially since it had been too long since she had been able to rest in such a comfortable place.
Orith suddenly approached Zhang Fei [4] and pulled him onto the bed. "Aren't you going to have some fun with her right away?"
"No." Zhang Fei [4] refused with a shake of his head. "I like her, but I'm not interested in having sex with women because of coercion, so I'll wait for her to fall for me first. Instead, I want to have sex with you again, especially since my demon rank is still far from the duke rank."
"Hahaha." Orith laughed in satisfaction and mounted Zhang Fei [4]'s lower body. "Anyway, I just got news that Yhrer has returned to the Incubus tower, and he might come here to see me soon."
"I thought he was dead in the dead forest, but it turns out he's still alive and has returned to this city."
"Are you afraid that he'll steal me away from you?"
"Why should I be afraid of that?" Zhang Fei [4] asked back as he squeezed Orith's breasts. "Moreover, you said yourself that he is weak and can't satisfy you, and you are much more satisfied having sex with me, so I don't need to worry that you will leave me, right?"
Orith smiled and nodded to Zhang Fei [4]. "Don't worry, I will never leave you, and I will kick Yhrer's ass if he dares to come here."
After that, the two quickly engaged in their sexual activities, but Balena was not the least bit disturbed by Orith's moans, especially since she had already fallen into a deep sleep and had a sweet dream.

As soon as the notification appeared, Zhang Fei immediately stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes, only to find the sun had already risen and the women were preparing some food for them. He immediately summoned his two clones out of the training space, especially since they still had to find many long logs and stones to build their residence.
Two hours later, they had finished their breakfast, and Zhang Fei immediately led all the men into the forest again. However, all the women, with the exception of Zhang Chen, Dou Luotian, and Xu Ling'er, decided to join them in order to speed up their work.
However, Zhang Fei prohibited some of them from entering the forest, and instead, he assigned those with the earth element to do other things, such as leveling the land, digging a well, creating waterways, and so on.
To do all that, they naturally needed help from those with the water element, so Zhang Lin, Angela, and some women did not enter the forest.
Zhang Fei assigned the women and contracted beasts with wind elements such as Zefyr, Qing Yi, You Bai, and several of them to transport long logs and rocks to the location that would become their residence. Although their size was quite large, it was not a big problem for them, especially since their wind techniques made their weight much lighter.
When the sun began to set again, Zhang Fei immediately asked them all to rest and continue their work tomorrow, especially since the atmosphere in the forest began to change and some of the women who were not working had prepared dinner for them.
However, Zhang Fei himself did not rest, but instead, he led his two clones to fight the beasts in the deepest area of the forest in order to complete the second daily quest.
