Ahead of Ye Lian, a swirling vortex of white light suddenly appeared, and all those terrifying auras vanished in an instant.
It was as if they had never existed.
But she knew very well that what just happened was no illusion.
(As expected of the legendary Wish Talisman!
If there wasn’t such an overwhelming pressure, it wouldn’t live up to its name!)
Gazing at the vortex of white light before her, which was at least six meters in diameter, Ye Lian couldn’t help but marvel as she watched.
And she waited in anticipation.
To other players, using a precious Wish Talisman to summon a virtual creature—
It was simply a waste.
At the very least, they’d try to get a legendary weapon, or a life-saving item—damn it!
However, none of those things mattered as much to her as that little fox.
Even though they had only spent a brief time together in the Dreamworld, Ye Lian already considered her as family.
Moreover, before the Dreamworld shattered, she had made a promise.
But with the death of the King of Terror, that promise had become impossible to keep.
In fact, even if the King of Terror had not died, she would still have been unable to return to the Dreamworld and meet the little fox again.
When a promise becomes a regret, it’s just too heartbreaking.
So, she decided not to give herself a chance for sorrow.
“Come here.”
Fixing her eyes on the vortex of light, Ye Lian spoke softly.
As if in response, the vortex of white light suddenly spun faster and widened, revealing a black hole within.
In the next instant, a flash of white leapt out, letting out a pleasant sound.
“Jiu-mi!”
That familiar call made Ye Lian’s eyes grow wet.
Back in the Dreamworld, she was a monkey, and the other was a fox, so of course, their words weren’t human language.
Now, reunited in the Dreamland Space, one was human, and the other was still a fox.
There was simply no way to communicate through words.
But that familiar voice still made her feel as if she had returned after an eternity.
The white shadow landed, its two snowy white tails wagging, and a pair of adorable large eyes swirled and sparkled.
Then, it looked up at Ye Lian, a human-like expression appearing on its face.
Why does this white little fellow give me such a familiar feeling?
It couldn’t help but sniff her, then its eyes widened with excitement, and it ran over, circling around her.
“Jiu-mi, jiu-mi!!!”
That joyful demeanor was just like reuniting with an old friend after a long separation.
“Come here.” Seeing this, Ye Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to reach out her hand.
She was afraid that the little fox she summoned wouldn’t be the same one she knew.
Now it seemed, her worries were unfounded.
“Jiu-mi!” The snowy little fox leapt up, ran happily up her arm, and sat down on her shoulder.
Just like on Huaguo Mountain, it affectionately snuggled against her.
“Bai… no, wait, that name’s taken.”
She was about to call out the little fox’s name, but then realized that the name she’d casually given it before was the same as Bai Xue.
“How about this, from now on, can I call you [Xiao Bai]?” An idea flashed in her mind, and she gave the little fox a new name.
Or perhaps, a new nickname.
She did this to avoid mixing Xiao Bai up with Bai Xue.
“Jiu-mi/mi!!!” The little fox nodded joyfully.
“Xiao Bai.” Ye Lian called out.
“Jiu-mi!” Xiao Bai wagged her tails, her face showing a very human-like happiness.
This adorable little one was truly healing.
Ye Lian reached out to pat her little head.
A set of information immediately appeared in front of her.
Dreamlike Creature: Heavenly Extreme Nine-Tailed Fox
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Name: Xiao Bai]
[Race: Heavenly Extreme Nine-Tailed Fox Clan]
[Attribute: Time·Space]
[Level: 20]

[Note 2: The summoner can sign a master-servant contract with it, not mandatory.]
[Note 3: Heavenly Extreme Nine-Tailed Fox can shapeshift.]
***
After reading the description, she couldn’t help but feel elated.
“Amazing, my Xiao Bai!”
“Jiu-mi~” The little one perked up, wagging her tails excitedly, as if to say: praise me more!
“You’re definitely no ordinary fox.”
Back in the Dreamworld, Ye Lian had already noticed Xiao Bai’s extraordinary nature.
Now, seeing the stats, she almost wanted to give herself a thumbs-up.
Summoning her here was truly the right choice.
After all, the future is promising.
And most importantly, she. can. shapeshift!
A beautiful girl Nine-Tailed Fox—who wouldn’t like that!
“Xiao Bai, do you want to sign a master-servant contract with me?” With a little time left, Ye Lian wanted to settle everything quickly.
Although their relationship was such that it hardly mattered whether they signed a contract or not, it was still better to make it official.
Because the contract wouldn’t just protect their rights, it would also establish a special bond.
Even if separated, they’d still sense each other.
“Jiu-mi!!!” Xiao Bai nodded rapidly.
With the contract signed, there was no doubt their bond would become even closer.
And it could also prevent others from using special means to force Xiao Bai into other contracts.
Which could land her in the hands of bad people.
The ceremony was simple—just tap the contract button on the panel.
At that moment, both felt a mysterious power flow into their bodies.
Then, the connection between them became very close.
Now, even if they spoke different languages, they could communicate smoothly.
“Jiu-mi!” Xiao Bai happily rubbed her face.
“Hehe, that tickles, don’t rub so much.”
Ye Lian chuckled as she patted her head, then recalled something.
“By the way, Xiao Bai, your Boundary Breaking Shuttle ability, can it travel through any plane?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai shook her head, “Jiu-mi, jiu-mi jiu-mi, jiu-mi!”
“I see, it can only travel to planes that aren’t too far apart…
Wait! That means, you could break through from here and appear in my world!?”
She could hardly believe it.
Xiao Bai tilted her head, as if she didn’t quite understand.
Ye Lian explained a bit more, and Xiao Bai quickly nodded.
“Amazing, my Xiao Bai!”
Originally, she was worrying about what to do with Xiao Bai after logging off.
Now, there was no need—she could bring her straight out of the Dreamland Space!
“Jiu-mi~” Xiao Bai sat up straight, looking extremely proud.
“Do you want to come with me?”
Even after making up her mind, Ye Lian still wanted to ask for Xiao Bai’s opinion.
If Xiao Bai didn’t agree, she wouldn’t force her.
“Jiu-mi jiu-mi!” The little one nodded energetically.
She really didn’t like the Dreamland Space much.
“Great.” Ye Lian smiled happily.
Then her tone shifted.
“But before that, let me clean up the Pollution Value in Jiuyuanli.”
She opened her panel and used [Pollution Value Cleanse].
A bright red map of the world appeared before her.
She tapped Mainland Huadu and saw many smaller regions.
Ye Lian reached out and selected the largest range possible.
It happened to be a bit bigger than Jiuyuanli.
She tapped [Confirm].
With a swish, the entire area turned white.
Pollution Value—cleared!
