Chapter 207 - Contract, Third Familiar
Later, Lu Ran, Gu Qingyi, and Manager Ying engaged in a lively conversation that lasted over an hour before Dr. Gu departed, seemingly satisfied.
At that moment, the Weather Sprite awoke, its energy recovering rapidly. After bidding farewell to Manager Ying, Lu Ran prepared to train the Weather Sprite outside. However, before leaving, he carefully disguised himself—after all, he was at the center of international attention.
“Drip...”
The Weather Sprite curled into a ball and nestled in Lu Ran’s pocket. It peeked curiously at the sky outside as if asking where they were heading.
“We’re going to find a crow. When we meet it, I’ll introduce you to the whole team. And finally... assess your combat strength.”
“Drip!”
As they traveled, Lu Ran became lost in thought. The Weather Sprite was as pure as a blank slate. When it was still in its egg form, he could have left it with Manager Ying or asked Dark Crow for assistance. But now, whether he entrusted it to Manager Ying or Fang Lan, Lu Ran felt uneasy—their personalities would surely influence it negatively.
With Manager Ying, its personality might veer off track; with Fang Lan, even its attributes might shift dangerously. If Fang Lan’s influence caused the Weather Sprite to evolve into a smog cloud, it would be troublesome.
Yet sometimes, Lu Ran needed to enter Limitless City and couldn’t bring the Weather Sprite along. What should he do then? Leaving it alone outside wasn’t an option.
“Should I form a contract with the Weather Sprite first—making it my fourth familiar—and then contract Dark Crow later?”
“Forget it. Let’s contract Dark Crow first. As for this little guy... Hmm! I’ll temporarily entrust it to Manager Ying. With Sudden Death King now at level 30, I can access the level 2 ascension realms at any moment. If I break through fast enough and contract the Weather Sprite soon, its time with Manager Ying won’t be long enough for it to develop any issues.”
