12.9 No longer pretending

"Hmmm... sounds like the start of an epic love story or something. Why can't 2 practitioners do that? Soul binding?" Shu XinYi wondered.

"Heh, is that the first thing that came to your mind? Well, they can but it's not exactly binding naturally, but connecting through threads, like cultivating together or training through some unique method. It's a law of nature. A beast and a practioner's soul are compatible with each other. And many of them do turn out to be epic love stories as you said, but many end up in ruins too." Waleed said with his usual tone, but Shu XinYi could see his eyes staring off at the his study table, with a look of longing.
