• Fairy Fish’s natal ice crystal emerged as the lake grew violently cold, and players on shore feared her gathering power.
• The United Rescue Team chose to stay beside the Dragon Nation players, while Bao Bao explained to Xiao Fan that Fairy Fish was burning out her origin to unleash a fatal attack.
• Xiao Fan asked whether Fairy Fish could be stopped, but she completed her charge and called out “Frozen World.”

Xiao Fan and Bao Bao faced the imminent deaths of their companions, frozen by the Fairy Fish’s ultimate ice attack, while Zijin revealed that the Seven-Colored Deer might be able to help. The Seven-Colored Deer emerged from hiding after Zijin threatened it, leaving Xiao Fan wondering whether it was the key to saving everyone.

• Xiao Fan asked Bao Bao to take him to the frozen Zhou He and the others so he could try to free them, but Zijin warned that his skill could not break the Fairy Fish’s ultimate move.
• Zijin explained that using Heavenly Lightning to shatter the ice would also destroy the victims’ bodies, and Bao Bao apologized to Xiao Fan for provoking the Fairy Fish.

• Xiao Fan wondered whether Zijin’s proposed way to save his companions involved the Seven-Colored Deer.

The Seven-Colored Deer recalled how it had used Xiao Fan and other players to trouble the Fairy Fish, hoping to cultivate chances for revenge. Its plan seemed to succeed when Bao Bao joined the conflict, but the Fairy Fish unexpectedly burned her Life Crystal to fight Bao Bao.

• The Seven-Colored Deer recognized Xiao Fan as the human it had first tricked into searching for the Fairy Fish.
• It remembered that years of friendship with the Fairy Fish had turned into growing hatred, while its own weakness kept it from taking revenge directly.
• The Seven-Colored Deer lured Xiao Fan into a task to find the Fairy Fish, but the Divine Dragon Inheritance disrupted its scheme and brought Xiao Fan and the Fairy Fish together.
• The Seven-Colored Deer repeated its false story to a group of players, who were captured by the Fairy Fish and drew more players and Bao Bao into the conflict.
• The Seven-Colored Deer expected Bao Bao to help it take revenge, but the Fairy Fish burned her Life Crystal and fought Bao Bao with her life on the line.

Xiao Fan asked the Seven-Colored Deer to free Zhou He's group, but it pretended the Fairy Fish's ice seal was beyond its abilities. Zijin forced it to use its wood element to melt the ice, and after the group was freed, a despairing voice asked, “Why?”

• Xiao Fan asked the Seven-Colored Deer to break the ice seal trapping Zhou He and the others, but it refused to help.
• Zijin ordered the Seven-Colored Deer to act, then threatened it with her bloodline pressure and heavenly lightning when she saw through its excuses.

• Zijin ordered the Seven-Colored Deer to unseal the group, and it used its wood-element power to melt the ice and restore their freedom.
• Xiao Fan felt relieved that no one had died, but a despairing voice nearby asked, “Why?”

• Zijin asked Xiao Fan what he thought, and the Fairy Fish closed her eyes and began turning into water.

Xiao Fan and the others watched the Fairy Fish turn into water as she burned her Life Crystal, and Zijin realized the Fairy Fish was sacrificing her water-element origin for someone else. The Seven-Colored Deer was horrified to learn that the sacrifice could only be made for a wood-element magic beast, leaving the identity of the recipient uncertain.

• Xiao Fan, Bao Bao, and the Seven-Colored Deer watched in alarm as the Fairy Fish's body began turning into water.
• Zijin observed the Fairy Fish's Spirit Body and concluded that she was sacrificing her origin element to transfer it to someone else.
• The Seven-Colored Deer doubted Zijin's explanation because it believed the Fairy Fish was too calculating to sacrifice herself for another.
• Bao Bao said he had never heard of elements being sacrificed and transferred.
• Zijin explained that water-element magic beasts could sacrifice themselves this way, but would disappear completely, and could only sacrifice for wood-element magic beasts.
• The Seven-Colored Deer reacted with shock when Zijin revealed who could receive the sacrifice.

Fairy Fish sacrificed her water-element origin to heal Seven-Colored Deer and restore its strength, leaving Seven-Colored Deer devastated and confused about her past cruelty. Bao Bao then revealed that she had accidentally kicked the Jade Heart into Fairy Fish’s lake.

• Seven-Colored Deer asked Zijin whether Fairy Fish was truly performing a sacrifice and whether it could benefit a wood-element beast.
• Zijin confirmed that Fairy Fish was sacrificing her life’s water-element origin to heal Seven-Colored Deer and help it regain and increase its strength.
• Seven-Colored Deer struggled to accept the sacrifice and asked why Fairy Fish had treated it cruelly in the past if she was willing to give everything for it.
• Bao Bao admitted that she had accidentally kicked the Jade Heart into Fairy Fish’s lake.

During the Fairy Fish’s sacrifice, Bao Bao claimed she had accidentally dropped the Water Wood Jade Heart into the lake, causing the dying Fairy Fish to realize Bao Bao had deliberately driven her and the Seven-Colored Deer apart. The Fairy Fish’s sacrifice stopped as she fixed Bao Bao with hatred, too weak to retaliate.

• Bao Bao said she had dropped the Water Wood Jade Heart accidentally, and the Fairy Fish and Seven-Colored Deer froze in shock.
• The Fairy Fish’s remaining consciousness cleared as she recalled how carefully she and the Seven-Colored Deer had guarded the area when they were young.
• The Fairy Fish concluded that Bao Bao had deliberately put the Jade Heart in the lake to sow discord between them.
• Overcome by rage, the Fairy Fish’s sacrifice halted, and she glared at Bao Bao but could not move or seek revenge.

The Seven-Colored Deer learned that Bao Bao had engineered the Jade Heart incident and that the Fairy Fish had been innocent, leaving it devastated by guilt and anger. As the Seven-Colored Deer threatened Bao Bao, Xiao Fan asked Zijin how to save the dying Fairy Fish, and Zijin said it depended on whether the Fairy Fish was willing.

• Bao Bao revealed that she had thrown the Jade Heart into Lakeheart Lake as part of a plan, and the Seven-Colored Deer realized the Fairy Fish had been innocent.
• The Seven-Colored Deer recalled how it had rejected the Fairy Fish's explanations and was overcome with guilt after learning she had sacrificed her Life Crystal to heal its wounds.
• Bao Bao calmly asked the Seven-Colored Deer to let the matter end, prompting it to erupt in fury and threaten her.
• Xiao Fan decided to protect Bao Bao while keeping the Seven-Colored Deer and Fairy Fish alive for his own purposes.
• Xiao Fan asked Zijin if she could save the Fairy Fish, and Zijin said there was a way if the Fairy Fish was willing.

• The Seven-Colored Deer begged Zijin to save Fairy Fish and offered to sacrifice everything it had.
• Zijin told the Seven-Colored Deer that Fairy Fish’s survival depended on her own willingness to live.
• The Seven-Colored Deer urged Fairy Fish to accept Zijin’s help and vowed to die alongside her if she died.
• Fairy Fish abandoned her resolve to sacrifice herself and asked Zijin to explain the treatment.
• Zijin warned that Fairy Fish could become an ordinary beast even if she survived, then said an exceptional chance of recovery depended on the Seven-Colored Deer.

Zijin explained that Xiao Fan could save the dying Fairy Fish by forming a master-servant contract and sharing his abundant energy with her. The Seven-Colored Deer questioned the arrangement, but learned the alternative was a rare treasure that could leave Fairy Fish an ordinary beast.

• Xiao Fan mistook Zijin's suggestion that he save Fairy Fish as a demand to spend his Dragon Token's inheritance and hesitated to sacrifice it.
• Zijin explained that a contract would let Xiao Fan transfer energy to stabilize Fairy Fish and gradually restore her vitality.
• Zhou He offered to contract with Fairy Fish, but Zijin said only Xiao Fan had enough energy to save her.
• Zijin clarified that Xiao Fan could form a master-servant contract with Fairy Fish despite already having a Life Bond with her.
• The Seven-Colored Deer asked whether Fairy Fish could be saved another way, and Zijin said a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure could save her but leave her an ordinary beast.

• Fairy Fish recognized Xiao Fan as the human who had once given her a quest and was astonished by his Divine Dragon aura and bond with a pure-blooded Magic Beast.
• Xiao Fan offered to save Fairy Fish and help restore her strength if she formed a contract with him.
• Bao Bao objected to Xiao Fan contracting Fairy Fish before her.
• Fairy Fish bowed to Zijin and agreed to form a master-servant contract with Xiao Fan.
• Xiao Fan rejoiced at the prospect of gaining a level 300 Magic Beast, while the others looked on enviously.

After Xiao Fan formed a pact with the Fairy Fish, the Players regretted their failed plans and Shen Long worried that Cannon would abandon their schemes against him. Bao Bao then demanded that Xiao Fan form a pact with her first, and Xiao Fan eagerly agreed.

• The Players lamented that Xiao Fan had contracted the Fairy Fish after their failed attempts to approach it, while Hei Mi and the United Rescue Team regretted their costly defeat.
• Shen Long realized Cannon was considering giving up on targeting Xiao Fan and silently planned how to keep him involved.
• Bao Bao demanded that Xiao Fan form a pact with her before the Fairy Fish because she had acknowledged him as master first.
• Xiao Fan was surprised that the Fairy Fish had offered to form a pact, then eagerly agreed to Bao Bao's demand.

Xiao Fan learned how to form a master-servant contract and completed one with Bao Bao, making her his contracted Magic Beast. The chapter ended with their bond established and Xiao Fan able to sense Bao Bao’s feelings.

• Bao Bao smugly celebrated Xiao Fan choosing her, while Zijin shared a knowing glance with Xiao Fan.
• Xiao Fan realized Zijin may have suggested contracts to bring Bao Bao and Fairy Fish along willingly.
• Zijin explained that a Magic Beast had to offer its source blood essence and soul mark, and described how to complete the contract.
• Bao Bao willingly offered her blood essence as Xiao Fan used a drop of his own, and Zijin guided the two essences into forming a contract.
• The contract connected Xiao Fan and Bao Bao, letting them sense each other, and Zijin confirmed Bao Bao was now Xiao Fan’s contracted Magic Beast.

Xiao Fan’s contract with Bao Bao triggered repeated server-wide announcements and earned him the rare Pact of Ten Thousand Beasts achievement with substantial rewards. Bao Bao’s bloodline began transforming as Xiao Fan realized he had advanced the game’s progress again.

• Xiao Fan wondered why contracting Bao Bao caused three global announcements when his Life Bond with Zijin had gone unnoticed.
• Players across Cloud Sea flooded the World Channel with questions and excitement about Jiu Chen contracting a Magic Beast.
• The system awarded Xiao Fan the Pact of Ten Thousand Beasts achievement, including Evolution Fragments, a skill, items, a title, and reputation points.
• Bao Bao rubbed against Xiao Fan as her bloodline transformed and a golden sheen spread across her fur.
• Xiao Fan realized he had advanced the game’s progress, and another system announcement rang out.

After Xiao Fan formed a contract with Bao Bao, the Beast-Taming System unlocked for every player on the Blue Star Server. Xiao Fan explored the new interface and noticed that Zijin was not included in it.

• The server-wide announcement declared that Jiu Chen’s Magic Beast contract had unlocked the Beast-Taming System for all Blue Star players.
• Players across the server celebrated the new feature, searched for its interface, and discussed the chance to fight alongside beasts.
• Xiao Fan opened the Beast-Taming System and found sections for the Exotic Beast Codex, Contract Hall, Spirit Beast Cultivation, and Coordinated Combat Skills.
• Xiao Fan saw Bao Bao listed in the system but could not find Zijin, who still had a separate page.

Xiao Fan tried to use the Contract Hall to save the dying Fairy Fish, but discovered that a beast had to be fully tamed before the system would allow a contract. The Hall rejected the Fairy Fish’s scale, leaving Xiao Fan to rely on Zijin’s method.

• Xiao Fan opened the Contract Hall after seeing the Fairy Fish’s condition rapidly worsen.
• Xiao Fan learned that the Contract Hall required the exotic beast to be completely tamed, though the system did not explain what taming meant.
• Xiao Fan considered whether the Fairy Fish’s inability to resist and willingness to contract might satisfy the requirement.
• Xiao Fan asked the Fairy Fish for a scale, and she sent one flying to him.
• Xiao Fan placed the scale in the Contract Hall, but the system said the Fairy Fish had not been tamed and refused to form a contract.

Xiao Fan found that the Beast Taming System could not contract the Fairy Fish while she remained untamed, so he used Zijin’s method to form the contract himself. The system recognized the Fairy Fish as his Contract Beast and warned that she was on the verge of death.

• Xiao Fan learned that the Beast Taming System could not tame the Fairy Fish or form a contract without an unknown skill or method.
• Xiao Fan told Zhou He and the other Players that the system required Magic Beasts to be tamed first, prompting their complaints.
• Xiao Fan turned to the Fairy Fish and decided to use the method Zijin had taught him.
• The Fairy Fish offered her blood essence, and Xiao Fan fused it with his own to complete their soul contract.
• Xiao Fan received a system notification confirming the Fairy Fish as his Contract Beast, followed by a warning that she was near death.
