Taming the foxes.

As we agreed I started to prepare for the contract, given that it is a deeper and soul level it is important to take time and prepare well, besides it is my first time, I started to sing in a language that seemed to have the sound of beasts and human according to the technique.

And at one point my Qi seemed to get involved with what was being chanted and I lightly pierced my finger with a Qi knife made of light.

And as if reacting to the song and the opening, two drops of my blood floated in the air and stood slightly in front of the two foxes, they also seemed to understand and gave small drops of blood on their paws, floating and somehow seemed to mix and merge up in the air…

At that moment I also felt as if my very existence was linking to something, my soul seemed to start to link and where I could not see soul lines linked to both of them the two new drops of blood in the air formed by the previous fusion split into 4 in total and 2 came to me and one for each fox. And they seemed to link our bodies and souls at the same time, completing the taming/binding process.

While a gray white light seemed to represent a soul connection, it enveloped our bodies, all of the black fox's injuries were healed, in addition I also felt my base advance and I directly reached the 8th stage of cultivation and they reached the 7th.

I looked at them and decided to give them a name to end our connection since beasts in general with lower cultivation bases normally do not give themselves a specific name, and having discovered that the black one was female and the blue one was male, and through the connection I felt take an element of darkness and something different in one and an element of ice or snow in the other.

I looked at the female first and spoke.

"I'll call her Umbra"

I smiled and touched her head which is now healed and with our bond formed she came happily to me rubbing herself gently.

And when I spoke I heard her voice in my head.

'Thank you for the name master!!!'

A soft young voice like a child came into my head, which made me caress her softly.

And at that moment I heard another voice in my head now sounding like a little boy who had a touch that was a little cold, but not one that pushed others away.

'What about me, master?'

I looked where I imagined and the white fox with dark blue eyes looked at me curiously.

I gently touched her with my other hand and spoke.

"I'll call it Yule"

'Um..I liked the name'

I touched them affectionately, and out of curiosity I asked them to demonstrate a little of their way of combat so that I could guide myself and know their ways of defending themselves and in the future, as my beasts and partners, we will end up fighting together.

'OK'

Both responded and the umbra was the first to move.

I saw her get up and I saw a shadow move next to a tree and pierce it, this was accompanied by Umbra's voice.

'This is my favorite moment, master!.'

'But I still don't have full control…'

I was a little surprised, because shadow is different from darkness and it can already touch the element a little, which indicates good potential.

And as it took me a while to respond, he seemed to wonder if I didn't like it and showed more movements.

This time his claws made a movement in the air and cuts made of darkness were launched, at the same time his tail moved and released small spheres as black and dense as night.

'I use these better master!! like my element they are silent and good at dealing good damage'

After she spoke, she looked at me again.

And I gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and praised her with a soft, affectionate smile.

"Very good!! You are excellent! And very strong in the element! and even uses shadows!!"

She seemed to be shy and happy with the movement of her tail.

It's as if she didn't want to lose space with her brother, which I ended up discovering that they were in fact brothers due to the connection I felt between them when I formed the connection.

He moved his tail, forming a small blizzard and freezing a certain area, which was followed by him moving his claws and ice spears were formed in the air and fired.

What made me think was in fact the element of ice and snow… beasts can have rarer or more difficult daos from the beginning… unlike humans or humanoid beings who generally started cultivation, cultivating one or more of a basic element and increased their understanding in other Daos in higher cultivation base, beasts can often use more powerful/rare elements from the beginning. Of course, as the heavens are fair, beasts have difficulty using daos that are not linked to their nature and lineage, unlike human races that have greater space, although affinity always has relevance.

Yule also came close to me and I gave him a kiss while I praised him, he was also happy despite trying to hide it a little more than his sister.

"Good, now I'm going to take you two to meet another friend of mine who lives in a special space that will be one of our houses and you can live there."

And in fact that is where they will live, stronger contracts regardless of the technique always offer what is called soul space that allows the beasts to live inside mine naturally there is also one, but they can use the palace which among its benefits allows mine beasts live there like the beast's soul space, of course it is more spacious, wider, and it also allows that even with a weaker base I have almost no limit to signing contracts with beasts regardless of their cultivation, since the palace supports my soul for this to happen.

This is not the same for other cultivators who will have the base of the beasts and the cultivator for the number of contracts as a conditional, otherwise the soul could be overloaded and be harmful to the cultivator.

"But a reason to thank the master for creating the palace and Art…I really was lucky to get this artifact.."

I whispered softly...

And I joined them.

…..

Of course the moment I entered the space both my new partners were surprised and shocked and looked around and at me.

'That..'

"This is my personal space and, as I said, one of our homes"

I said smiling softly.

And they started walking and running on the lawn watching, of course they also looked at the palace behind me.

"I want to show you someone too."

"Artemix."

And in my arms cute Art appeared, but for some reason he seemed slightly upset.

"Art? Something happened.." I asked worried…

And I heard him whisper after a while so that only the two of us heard.

"I know it was going to happen..and I suggested it myself..but now the master has more members to take care of…which made me a little jealous.."

I was surprised, but not that much since I knew before that he was a little jealous..but as he suggested it's still something that surprises me and I gave him two kisses on his forehead and head and whispered him back.

"All of you are my family and you must take care of them like brothers, okay? I will still treat everyone equally."

"Okss"

"Well, go show them the space and the palace."

"Okay master."

But before leaving my arms he seemed to ask for another kiss on the forehead which I gave, of course I saw the two foxes looking with the same face... and I had to give two more kisses... what are these... i already have my older brother and family in general, now the foxies and Art…I sighed.

But it's still all this is something that makes me happy.

And after seeing Art taking them to see the space, I went back to my room inside the palace to consolidate my base and test something.
