Chapter 385 - 384: Artifact Refinement in the Valley, Mink and the Fairy

After leaving the hotel and meeting the Darknet courier, Li Jing immediately left the residential district with his goods.

Due to its harsh environment, West Asia’s urban construction level is relatively low.

It’s not that the Northern God Country doesn’t want to invest here, it’s mainly about how to invest scientifically.

How feasible would it be to build an array of skyscrapers in a place that has perpetual snowstorms?

Of course.

The most crucial factor is the lack of people.

Except for the local people of West Asia, those who come to this forsaken place are cultivators of the Third Realm or above.

Be it for industrial or economic development, the workforce problem is still a significant hurdle.

As a matter of fact.

Today, the whole of West Asia’s public facilities and the tourism industry obviously lack sufficient personnel. The local people, although few, are the backbone of these industries, constantly facing a severe shortage of workers.

For a place to develop.

People are always the key.

And not just any people, but those who are willing to work at the grassroots level.

While having a lot of high-level cultivators can maintain regional stability, it’s not necessarily conducive to development.

Barely managing to complete basic public facilities, West Asia is decidedly lacking in facilities related to Immortal Learning.

In terms of consumer power, West Asia is quite strong.

After all, there are many high-level cultivators here.

Each of them has considerable wealth.

However, even the spiritual object market, a feature of regular cities, is absent here, let alone facilities related to refining artifacts, talisman crafting, or alchemy.

To refine an artifact, Li Jing has to venture outside the residential district.

But even if West Asia had a Refining Association or a refining workshop, they would not be his choice.

His artifact refinement skill is flawed and tends to be noisy, which is impractical for him.

Finding a quiet place in West Asia where he wouldn’t be disturbed is relatively easy.

The essential thing here is that there are few people.

West Asia is vast.

But the areas suitable for living are tiny.

Outside the residential area are year-round snow-covered plateaus, plains, and mountain ranges. The environment is pristine, with few signs of human activity.

When it comes to finding a place to refine artifacts, Li Jing is not so casual.

West Asia has a cold climate, and ice and water attributes Spiritual Qi are abundant.

This does not significantly affect the refinement of other attribute tools, but it can significantly enhance the refinement of tools with ice and water attributes.

Li Jing is not a perfectionist.

But if possible, naturally the better the conditions, the better.

After exiting the residential area of West Asia and moving far away, Li Jing immediately activated his Heavenly Eye to find where the ice and water attributed Spiritual Qi was particularly dense.

After spending some time surveying the environment, Li Jing finally settled down in a distant, ice-encased lake surrounded by mountains on all sides.

The surrounding area is rich in ice and water attributed Spiritual Qi, making it an Earth Realm.

This valley in the middle of the lake could be considered the richest concentration of these two types of Spiritual Qi.

Through the sight of his Heavenly Eye.

A thick layer of fog, formed by the ice and water attributed Spiritual Qi, draped over the frozen lake in the valley.

Even beneath the ice that covered the lake, Li Jing discovered several areas where both types of Spiritual Qi were highly concentrated.

There should be several high-quality Spirit Plant with ice and water attributes beneath the lake’s surface.

What caught Li Jing’s attention must be valuable.

However, he was just observing and had no intention of collecting them.

Finders keepers. This is an unwritten rule among cultivators.

But this rule does not apply in protected areas where all resources are state-owned.

Collecting without permission is illegal.

The entire West Asia is the highest level of resource protection area for the Northern God Country, a place where you can’t just mess around.

Having chosen a spot on the lake in the valley, Li Jing took out over a hundred Yin attribute Spirit Nurturing materials he bought for Smoke Eye and called out softly.

"Smoke Eye."

At his call, Smoke Eye, crowned with flowing white hair, appeared quietly.

"Master."

"These are all yours. Absorb them and digest them gradually."

Li Jing smiled.

Smoke Eye was slightly stunned. Apparently, she had not expected him to give her so many Spirit Nurturing materials at once.

Gazing at the high-quality Spirit Nurturing materials scattered on the ground, she softly spoke.

"Thank you, Master."

As she was speaking, she turned into a wisp of grey and swept all the materials up, then reverted back to her body mask and fell into Li Jing’s hand.

"We are in the Northern God Country now, you slowly digest these."

Li Jing began, saying,

"Once we are back in Longyu, I will procure more for you. I aim to fully purify your attributes."

Before his words fell, Smoke Eye spoke.

"For attribute purification, these should be enough."

Li Jing gave Smoke Eye reassurance, intending to put her on immediately. However, his body froze at her words.

’These should be enough for attribute purification’...

In other words,

Once she has digested this batch, Smoke Eye will no longer be content with these high-quality standard Spirit Nurturing materials, and will start needing heavenly materials and earthly treasures?

This...!

Damn!

Why so soon?

Is it because she has eaten too much Biyue Stone?

No, that can’t be it.

Although the Biyue Stone could be used as a Spirit Nourishing material, at best, it could only be considered a slightly superior standard Spirit Nourishing material.

The only reason it had an unusually good nurturing effect on Smoke Eye is that the Biyue Stone was her main component.

Where did the problem arise?

Li Jing furrowed his brow, and quickly thought of a possibility.

Perhaps it was because his Artifact Refinement Skill created Smoke Eye with unusually pure attributes, so she naturally didn’t need as much purification.

This was indeed a possibility.

A high-quality artifact, even without any nurturing, would generally have purer attributes than lower quality ones.

The purer the materials used in the refining process, the purer the resulting artifact’s attributes will be.

This made Li Jing feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He had already had his hands full with two hungry Immortal Items, which already put a strain on his wallet.

And now, there was another bottomless pit...

With a sigh, Li Jing lifted his hand and put on Smoke Eye.

The next second.

Smoke Eye activated, hiding his breath.

Then, he took out the materials for refining the flying needles.

The cultivation method was activated, and the sparse Thunder Element Spirit Qi quickly gathered from the surroundings.

As the Thunder Element Spirit Qi gathered, the sky gradually darkened and was covered by a layer of clouds.

Seeing that it was about the right time, Li Jing didn’t delay and gently tossed the corresponding materials into the air, following it up with a slap.

"Boom!"

Red thunder roared out of his palm, ruthlessly swallowing up and instantaneously melting the materials for refining the flying needles.

They say practice makes perfect.

Having the experience of refining once, Li Jing was more adept at using the Heaven’s Creation Skill and did not have to be as cautious as before.

Seeing that the materials were instantly melted, Li Jing’s focused eyes quickly formed Finger seals, controlling the scattered Fire Thunder around him to compress the molten solution.

Within a few seconds, the varicolored molten mixture transformed into a pure white solution.

As the solution became purified, an immense amount of ice and water-based spiritual qi dispersed above the valley lake was drawn by the affinity of the materials in the solution, forming one stream of spirit qi after another that fused into it.

Li Jing raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

The material for crafting flying needles apparently had a very high affinity with ice and water-based spiritual qi.

He could now create an artifact.

A creation skill of Heaven really was a cheat-like existence.

For the time being, it was more beneficial for the solution to absorb more natural environmental spiritual qi available nearby. It wouldn’t be too late to create an artifact once it became saturated.

He glanced at the skyline. As the cultivation method in his body operated, the atmosphere was becoming increasingly ominous. Li Jing hesitated for a moment, controlling the solution for the flying needles with one hand while producing the materials for a suit of armor with the other. Then, he threw it up and slapped it with his other hand as if following a routine.

"Boom!"

Flames burst out with a thunderous roar.

Another lump of solution appeared in mid-air.

Li Jing was controlling the solution for the flying needles, which was absorbing environmental spiritual qi, with one hand while using the other to form seals to purify the armor’s solution. He was taking action on two fronts.

To simultaneously refine two artifacts was nearly impossible for ordinary artifact refiners.

One must not be distracted while refining artifacts.

For him, though, it was not an issue.

The reason for the inability to be distracted during artifact refinement was the risk of gross negligence in the myriad of processes, which could easily lead to refinement failure.

Li Jing could not multitask effectively.

However, all his procedures were essentially completed as soon as the solution with the materials was purified.

What remained was the final step of forming the artifact.

Just like the solution for the flying needles, the solution for the armor began to attract ambient ice and water-based spiritual qi as it became purified.

However, it wasn’t as compatible as the solution for the flying needles, so the rate of absorbing spiritual qi was much slower. Shortly afterward, it demonstrated saturation and could no longer accommodate more qi.

Li Jing, controlling the two solutions, was patiently waiting.

Soon, the solution for the armor stopped attracting spiritual qi.

Without thinking much about it, Li Jing clenched his fist.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the solution meant for the armor.

A bikini armor was formed in an instant.

Grinning, Li Jing acknowledged the successful formation of the armor.

The refinement process was smooth.

But...why was it a bikini?

The general shape of an artifact is influenced by the refiner’s mindset, but its final form is mostly randomly generated within a certain guideline.

For instance, a female-oriented armor could end up being a modest suit of armor, a sexy battle gear, or - at a lower probability - a more concealed inner armor.

The outer appearance doesn’t much affect the defense capability and quality of the armor.

It’s only a matter of aesthetics.

In terms of convenience and stealth, inner armor is naturally the best.

The armor Li Jing concocted was a piece of inner armor.

The inner armor was in the shape of a bikini.

He did not doubt its ability to defend.

With a similar design, Serlina’s battle gear provides excellent defense, right?

However, what would Liu Sisi think upon seeing this piece of inner armor?

But you know what?

This inner armor was rather pleasing to the eyes. If Liu Sisi wore it...

Cough!

Clearing his throat quietly, Li Jing gathered his thoughts and pulled the floating inner armor into his hands.

Upon touching it, he felt a chill.

Hold it in my hand made me look like a pervert...

Thank God there’s no one around, otherwise...

Checking the spiritual weapon in his hand, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.

Its quality was at the fifth level of spiritual weapons.

This was higher than expected.

The materials he had selected were enough to craft a spiritual weapon, and a successful attempt will typically yield a level-four spiritual weapon.

Funnily enough, he had intended to make a level-four spiritual weapon.

This was mainly because level-four spiritual weapons’ spirits didn’t have physical forms yet, being merely sentient and relatively obedient.

At present, the level-five spirit of the weapon in his hand was quite docile. It laid in his hand without showing any resistance against its refiner, and it hadn’t taken physical form upon its creation.

If it doesn’t physically appear, that implies the weapon spirit is relatively mild in nature.

Since the spirit of the weapon wasn’t in physical form, Li Jing didn’t bother trying to manifest it.

Given that the weapon itself was a bikini, it must be a female spirit weapon.

If it were to reveal its physical form, it would certainly appear to wear the weapon body.

Well...

It was probably better if he didn’t see it after all.

After placing the newly formed inner armor into his small universe, Li Jing, sensing something, clenched the hand controlling the solution for the flying needles.

"Boom!"

Another thunderbolt materialised and struck the saturated solution for the flying needles.

The artifact was formed.

Immediately following this, a Snow Mink, pure white all over, appeared in midair.

Li Jing was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

A Snow Mink?

A spirit weapon in the form of a beast?

This turn of events was quite intriguing!

The physical forms of spirit weapons are usually humanoid.

However, there’s a minuscule chance they’ll appear as beasts.

Compared to humanoid spirit weapons, beast spirit weapons are generally stronger and possess higher spirituality.

The Snow Mink spirit weapon before him could be considered a gem with its incredibly appealing appearance.

It was pure white all over, and its cute demeanor was pleasing to the eye.

If Chen Yuran were here, she would surely be enamored on the spot.

"Come."

Li Jing beckoned.

The Snow Mink spirit weapon cocked its head upon hearing his call but made no move.

"..."

Li Jing.

This one seemed to have a bit of a disobedient streak, didn’t it?

Just as he was thinking this, the Snow Mink spirit weapon turned around and swiftly transformed into a streak of white light, disappearing from sight in a blink.

!!!

Li Jing.

He hadn’t expected the Snow Mink spirit weapon to up and run away.

Without a doubt...

This Snow Mink wasn’t just a disobedient type, it appeared to be quite rebellious.

Even Smoke Eye, who explicitly stated her dislike for him when she was initially formed, hadn’t attempted to make a run for it.

Could Li Jing let the Snow Mink spirit weapon run away?

Of course not.

Let alone the fact it had just been created, he and the Snow Mink spirit weapon shared a specific connection due to his status as its creator.

How could he possibly let a mere spiritual weapon escape from his hands?

Without any hesitation, Li Jing moved swiftly and caught up to the fleeing Snow Mink spirit weapon in the blink of an eye, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck.

Hanging by its neck, the Snow Mink spirit weapon grimaced while struggling hard, but to no avail.

If it had been an average artifact refiner, they might not have been able to catch this little thing.

This little critter might look cute, but it’s actually a genuine Level Six Spirit Weapon.

Its main body stealthily relocates within its snow-white fluffy fur at will.

The flying needles are as thin as cow hairs, numbering twelve in total.

At the moment of its struggle, its core body, which is the twelve flying needles, are pricking Li Jing in all random directions in his hand.

However, it’s a pity.

With its Level Six Spirit Weapon, it can’t even scratch an itch for Li Jing.

After all, he has a physical strength that could suppress a Seventh Realm Monster.

He can’t tear an Immortal Item apart by physical strength.

But it’s not a problem to resist a Level One Immortal Item barehanded, but he might get injured with anything sharper.

Watching the thing in his hand struggle nonstop "freely" and making squeaky noises, Li Jing frowned slightly and raised his other hand to deliver a knock on its head.

"Bang!"

With a numbing thud, the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon’s eyes immediately saw stars and calmed down for a bit.

It has no choice but to calm down.

This knock on the head, Li Jing naturally did it without using his full strength.

A Level Six Spirit Weapon that just got refined and being rare beast class as well, he doesn’t want to destroy it that easily.

However, this knock is enough to soften up the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon.

Having stunned the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon, Li Jing raised his hand again to motion another knock on the head.

The Snow Mink Spirit Weapon which had just recovered saw his gesture and quickly covered its head with its two small paws, making a few squeaks, and its physical body stopped trying to attack him.

Li Jing was quite pleased with the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon’s understanding behavior.

This little thing, shows quite a rebellious streak.

But at least it knows that he who appreciates the times is a great man. It can be trained and educated.

Grabbing the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon, Li Jing thought for a moment, then waved his hand and flashed the red lightning in his hand to instantly refine a piece of more rigid basic material into a pet cage.

When the pet cage was refined, his good fortune triggered a little.

By relying on a single material, it miraculously reached the Level Three Precious Items.

The Level Three Precious Items cage, of course, can’t lock up this little thing.

After all, this little thing is a Level Six Spirit Weapon, and if it wants, it can easily break free.

But Li Jing will not let it get what it wants.

He made a seal with his hand.

He sealed the power of the little thing’s spiritual weapon, put the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon into the cage, and then put it into the Little Universe.

He can seal it and put it in a cage, not because Li Jing is being redundant.

Mainly, because he still has the spiritual materials for nourishing the spirit weapon that he bought for Liu Sisi in his Little Universe. There are also three sets of materials for making flying needles and hangers.

He had considered the possibility of failure in refining and the needs of attracting the spirit weapon by Liu Sisi afterwards, thus he prepared more materials.

Now, this little guy in his hand is different from the inner armor spirit weapon, and it’s extremely rebellious.

In the Little Universe, it could run amok with his materials.

Having dealt with the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon, Li Jing turned his head.

Because the clouds formed by his artifact refining had begun to gradually disperse.

After confirmation, he casually removed Smoke Eye and activated Silent Shadow, then took flight.

...

A moment later, Li Jing returned to the inn.

Without lingering outside, he came straight to the room.

At this time, Liu Sisi was still lazing on the bed.

Seeing Li Jing come back in less than an hour, she sat up in wonder.

"How come you came back so soon?"

"I am done."

Li Jing smiled, took out the Precious Items cage containing the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon from his storage space.

As he expected.

The Snow Mink Spirit Weapon was not idle in the Little Universe.

Just now, it was pulled out by him.

The little guy was energetically gnawing on the cage.

Over there.

Unexpectedly seeing Li Jing pull out the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon, Liu Sisi was taken aback for a moment before letting out a "wow" and standing up.

"Where did you catch this little...

Halfway through her sentence, she furrowed her brows.

"A Spirit Weapon!?"

"Hmm."

Li Jing nodded, walked to the window and put down the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon.

"This little thing’s a Level Six Spirit Weapon. Its main body comprises a set of twelve flying needles. It seems to have quite a rebellious disposition."

Upon identifying it as a Spirit Weapon, Liu Sisi’s Cold Frost Sword conveyed its quality to her through their connection.

Upon hearing of its rebellious nature, she didn’t think much of it.

Clearly, the little guy was under a seal by Li Jing. Liu Sisi was surprised at its quality and took the cage onto her lap to play with the little guy for a bit while keeping her thoughts to herself.

The Snow Mink Spirit Weapon is pretty aggressive, responding to the teasing by showing off its teeth and claws.

However, its powers were sealed and it was locked in a cage, all it could do was fume with anger.

Watching the lively appearance of the small creature, Liu Sisi became more and more fond of it.

Women, after all!

Their resistance against cute things is often quite low.

Although the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon is quite aggressive, its looks are pleasing enough to compensate for it.

After teasing the little guy for a bit, Liu Sisi, looking somewhat troubled, looked up.

"This little thing is quite aggressive, and it’s also a Level Six Spirit Weapon. It might not be easy to get it to recognize a master."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded, casually placing the three sets of backup material for the flying needles on the bed.

"These three sets are refinement materials for the flying needles. Try feeding it and see if you can trick it into...>

Before he could finish speaking, a childish voice interrupted.

"Heh, with just this thing, do you think I’m stupid?"

?

Li Jing slowly typed out a question mark.

Liu Sisi was also surprised upon hearing the voice. She looked down.

At this time, there were only two people and the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon in the room, and there was no third party.

It was clear that the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon had just spoken.

Usually, beast-shaped Spirit Weapons can communicate unhindered with their masters once their pact is sealed. But they cannot speak human language.

The few beast-shaped Spirit Weapons that can speak human language are extremely rare.

This little thing hadn’t spoken before, and Li Jing didn’t pay much attention to this detail.

He didn’t expect such a peculiarity.

But essentially, it’s not that special.

At most, it’s just able to speak, and doesn’t indicate anything else.

Seeing that the little one could talk, Li Jing mused for a bit before starting.

"You can talk, then we can have a conversation."

As he spoke, he stated.

"I’m your creator. I created you to be used by my wife, who’s standing right here. You only have one path before you: obediently acknowledge her as your master, or else..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a disdainful grunt disrupted him.

"Or else what?"

As it retorted, the Snow Mink Spirit Weapon, confined in the cage, stood up straight, put its two tiny paws on its waist, looking immensely proud and unyielding.

"Destroy me? Or completely seal me up? I’m not afraid!"

"Tsk!"

Li Jing clicked his tongue.

This little critter, it’s quite a jumper.

Not even afraid of being destroyed?

Liu Sisi looked at the snow mink spirit weapon’s bluffing expression and found it quite amusing.

Her Cold Frost Sword only had a rudimentary spirit weapon’s consciousness.

It couldn’t communicate with her clearly, and its nature was relatively cold.

Unless necessary, the Cold Frost Sword spirit wouldn’t make a peep.

If she could get the snow mink spirit weapon...

Sisi turned her gaze towards Li Jing, speaking aloud.

"Honey, think of a way."

Clearly, his wife had taken a liking to the snow mink spirit weapon, Li Jing "hmm"ed in agreement, lightly snapping his fingers.

Following this.

Spirit Weapon Qingfeng and Smoke Eye appeared to his left and right and Linglong sat on his shoulder.

The three spirit weapons appeared in turn. The snow mink spirit weapon which was just acting tough a second ago immediately recoiled and started shaking.

It was only a level six spirit weapon.

But what appeared now were three immortal items.

Among them was a level four immortal item...

The suppression exerted by a superior weapon on an inferior one was fully displayed at this moment.

Not only was the snow mink spirit weapon taken aback, but Liu Sisi was also stunned.

Li Jing had allowed Linglong and Smoke Eye, who could hide their energy, to reveal themselves to intimidate.

How could she not be dumbfounded when he just whipped out three immortal items?

She had seen Linglong and Qingfeng.

When did these two...

...become immortal items?

Meanwhile.

Li Jing saw the snow mink spirit weapon was all bark and no bite, buckling instantly in face of his ’Spirit Weapon Group’. He turned to Linglong on his shoulder, giving her a significant look.

Understanding, Linglong hopped off his shoulder and pointed at Liu Sisi.

"This, is my mistress. Be smart and recognize her as your master now."

As she spoke, she raised her chubby small hand, making a fist in a threatening manner.

"Hmph!"

Linglong’s gesture seemed comical.

Yet, when she waved her small fist, space distorted slightly.

Upon seeing this, the snow mink spirit weapon shook even more violently. However, it still persisted, speaking in a weak voice.

"You...you...you shouldn’t bully people like this..."

Before it could finish speaking, Qingfeng, who was next to Li Jing, glanced at it.

A gentle breeze blew past.

Without any light or sound effect, the precious item cage that trapped the snow mink spirit weapon silently turned into dust and was carried away by the breeze, not leaving a speck on the bed.

This completely terrified the snow mink spirit weapon. It immediately sought refuge in Liu Sisi’s arms.

Seeing this, Liu Sisi subconsciously held onto the little creature. With a delighted heart, she stroked it and extended a delicate finger towards it.

"Little guy, you...seem to have no choice. Follow me, and I won’t treat you poorly"

The snow mink spirit weapon looked up upon hearing her words, took another glance at the ’Spirit Weapon Group’ behind Li Jing, and finally licked Liu Sisi’s finger with its pink tongue.

A connection established.

Having established a connection so easily, Liu Sisi was overjoyed and lifted her eyes to look at Li Jing.

"Have you thought of a name for it?"

"No."

Li Jing shook his head.

"Hmm."

Liu Sisi nodded, hugging the snow mink spirit weapon tighter, softly spoke.

"From now on, your name is Bai Xue."

Upon being named, the snow mink spirit weapon emitted a strong aura and broke free from the artifact seal set by Li Jing.

Forced to accept a master, the little thing was certainly not pleased.

However, at this point, it didn’t have the luxury to resist anymore.

It scurried up Liu Sisi’s shoulder and gestured at the material for flying needles placed aside with its paw.

"Master, these..."

"Take them, I’ll feed you something else later."

Liu Sisi stretched out her hand and prodded at it a couple of times.

Bai Xue begrudgingly complied, turned into a white stream of air, swept up the materials on the ground, and dived into Liu Sisi’s body for digestion.

Seeing this, Liu Sisi closed her eyes to feel it, then opened her eyes with satisfaction.

"Honey, didn’t you say you were going to forge an armor for me?"

"Ah this..."

Li Jing hesitated, then gritted his teeth and took out the object.

Catching sight of a bikini that could barely be distinguished from two pieces of cloth, Liu Sisi was taken aback.

Hmm.

Level five spirit weapon.

The quality was exceptionally high.

But...

Seeing her looking increasingly appalled, Li Jing cleared his throat.

"This is a set of inner armor."

Liu Sisi was taken aback, grumbled.

"Or would you rather I wear it outside?"

"..."

Li Jing.

Just as he was about to say something, the bikini in his hand quickly shrank and transformed into a tiny figure with dragonfly wings that was only as tall as a finger.

The unexpected occurrence came suddenly.

Li Jing was unprepared, so was Liu Sisi.

Seeing a little being dressed in a bikini that looks quite like a fairy standing in his palm, Li Jing was a little dazed.

This... Is another special-shaped spirit weapon.

The non-human form indicates that it is not inferior to the snow mink spirit weapon in terms of spirituality.

Looking back at Smoke Eye standing behind him, Li Jing blinked.

Following his actions, Smoke Eye also blinked and spoke.

"Master, do you have a type?"

"..."

Li Jing.

What a false accusation!

This is too unfair!

He did not say that!

Just as he was about to defend himself, the little being standing in his hand fluttered its wings and flew in front of Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi was still in a daze, but she reflexively extended her hand.

The little being landed smoothly in her palm and looked up at her.

"I need a name."

?

Li Jing looked at her, appearing confused.

How is it so proactive?

Liu Sisi was also stunned upon hearing this.

This spirit weapon...Is it going to directly recognize her as its master?

As both of them were still surprised, the little being spoke.

"I was born for you, wasn’t I?"
