"Don't hurt my big sister!" The younger wolf-girl cried. 

<+1 proficiency in Hundred Beast Language (Knowledge)>

Albion ignored the older one and shortly returned to the cage of the younger one again before reaching his hand back inside. 

Nevertheless, the younger wolf-girl did not retreat to a corner. 

She stood her ground and gazed back at Albion defiantly with watery eyes while trembling slightly, hoping to be hurt instead of her sister. 

However, Albion never had the intention of hurting them. 

"Hurt your sister? I never intended for that. It was you two who hurt yourselves. Wolf-girls should be protected like national treasures," Albion muttered quietly before feeling the younger wolf-girl's fluffy ears and giving her head pats and scratches. 

Looking at the cuts and bruises on the two wolf-girl's bodies, Albion could see that they must have put quite a violent resistance before they were captured.

[Host can exchange for the Blood Contract skill to tame the two beastmen.] 

Goldfinger suggested.

However, Albion shook his head in rejection of the idea, 'While the Blood Contract can offer me their obedience, it robs their free wills and slowly erodes their minds, turning them into mindless puppets.'

'Not to mention, I have to offer a piece of my soul. Anything that involves weakening my already weak soul should be avoided. There are surely better options of taming them,' Albion added. 

This was also why the Dark Emperor never used the Blood Contract on his subordinates but adopted them from a young age and trained them from the ground up himself instead.

Since the knowledgeable Dark Emperor paid such great importance on the soul, it would be wise of him to do the same. 

With the countless cultivation novels he had read in his past life, the soul definitely played a pivotal role in achieving the higher realms. 

Goldfinger did not continue. 

It found what Albion said to be very reasonable. Thus, it chose not to continue persuading him to use a technique that could impede his future progress.

Meanwhile, the younger wolf-girl was entirely at the mercy of Albion as she wagged her fluffy tail in comfort, feeling like she melting.

"Ooh… Sister… This feels very nice…"

"Stay away from my little sister!" 

The older wolf-girl howled and banged on the cage but failed to break free from her captivity to rescue her little sister.

Seeing the younger wolf-girl had become completely docile, Albion pondered for a moment before fishing out a pill from his Ashura Ring. 

Shortly after, he cleared his throat and made a few strange howls and grunts as he attempted to speak the wolf's native language while offering the pill to the wolf-girl.

"Eat shit."

<+1 proficiency in Hundred Beast Language (Practical)>

Seeing the proficiency increase, Albion nodded his head at a job well done—at least, that was what he thought until the younger wolf-girl made a difficult expression, and the older wolf-girl roared angrily.

"What did you say, hairless monkey?! You want my little sister to eat crap?!" 

"Ahem!" Albion coughed. 

It seems his pronunciation was not perfect. He wanted to say "eat this," but it was evidently not the case.

"I meant; eat this," Albion reattempted. 

<+2 proficiency in Hundred Beast Language (Practical)> 

'Oh?' 

Albion immediately noticed the higher proficiency. He definitely succeeded this time as the younger wolf-girl accepted the pill and swallowed it despite her big sister's warning.

"No! Don't eat it, little sister! It could be poison!" 

However, the older wolf-girl was startled by the sudden changes to her little sister in the next moment as cuts and bruises slowly disappeared from her body without a trace. 

It was a recovery pill. 

"Wow! Sister, look! I am completely healed!" The younger wolf-girl exclaimed in joy after feeling the pain on her body disappeared.

She immediately looked at Albion in a different light.

Albion's hand was shortly grabbed and rubbed against the wolf-girl's cheeks as the wolf-girl showed her appreciation for his benevolence.

'It's easier to tame the younger ones,' Albion mused. 

Shortly after, he glanced back at Wuxin and Sally, who were eagerly waiting to pat the wolf-girl, before he smiled, "It's safe now. You can try patting her, but be gentle." 

"Yay!" 

"Woo!"

Wuxin and Sally cheered. 

They quickly rushed over and extended their short arms into the cage to play with the wolf-girls fluffy ears. 

Although the young wolf-girl was startled at first, she quickly calmed down after realizing that the smaller ones meant no harm. 

She enjoyed their caressing as if they were a pair of playful younger sisters. 

Albion was prepared to use his Empyrean's Decree in case things went south, but it appeared that his concerns were unfounded. 

Still, it was always better to be safe than sorry. 

The two wolf girls may be young, but they were powerful—at least when compared to regular humans.

Just the younger one, alone, possessed a strength equivalent to an Early-rank Innate Realm Martial Artist.

Her bite would not be pretty for the two little girls.

"Alright, you two, be careful," Albion warned before stating, "I will check if there are any other good things to take with us." 

"Ay, ay, boss!"

Shortly after, Albion glanced at the auction goods for a moment before he ultimately decided to pocket them all into his Ashura Ring's storage space.

'While it's nice to see progress, I better just upgrade my skill now for convenience's sake,' Albion mused thoughtfully. 

Ding!

<5 units of Divine Energy have been expended>

<Upgraded Basic-level Hundred Beast Language → Intermediate-level Hundred Beast Language>

<Balance: 54/1000 Divine Energy>

[Now we are talking.]

Goldfinger commented before Albion nonchalantly responded, 'Yeah, yeah, whatever…'

Shortly after, Albion returned to Wuxin and Sally's side and opened the cage to free the younger wolf-girl from its confinement.

"Come out." 

"Yes!"

The younger wolf-girl listened obediently. 

The thought of escaping never crossed her mind. It was impossible, not to mention that she would not leave her sister behind alone.

"You can come out too if you promise to behave," Albion stated his condition to the older wolf-girl while offering her a recovery pill.

Nevertheless, she did not accept immediately. 

She raised her eyebrow at Albion before asking with a frown, "You can speak our language fluently? Have you been messing with us?" 

"No, I just learned it."
