As mentioned previously, an unspoken understanding exists between a contractor and their contract beast. This tacit bond allows the contractor to comprehend the inner world of the beast, perceiving its emotions and intentions. Consequently, the contract beast is likewise able to grasp the general direction of its master's thoughts.

Its snow-white fur swayed gently in the breeze, seemingly responding in silence to Fangsheng's thoughts. Yet, the White Wolf did not rush to act; its keen intuition told it that the tension in the air was like its own hunting stance—ready to erupt at any moment.
The White Wolf continued to drink gracefully from the clear stream, its movements unhurried, as though everything around it had nothing to do with it. A hint of slyness flickered in its deep gaze, seemingly signaling to the herbivores that it was merely a harmless passerby. Deep down, however, it was calculating the optimal moment to launch a fatal strike alongside Fangsheng.
