Chapter 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Guang was already numb. After confirming that no one outside had noticed, he expressionlessly pulled Cui Anyu into the room and carefully closed the door.

Cui Anyu’s eyes were half-closed, swaying as if she was sleepwalking. She stood there for a while, her eyes wide open as if she had just woken up from a dream. Then, she looked around in shock before her gaze finally landed on Yu Guang.

For some reason, Cui Anyu felt that her body had become very strange. She felt a sense of reverence towards Yu Guang. Even a simple eye contact would make her shudder.

Cui Anyu crossed her arms and muttered in fear, “What’s going on? Why am I here?”

Yu Guang supported his chin with one hand and let out a long sigh. “I also wanted to ask why you came to my place.”

“I was about to go to sleep, but I felt someone pulling me, so I followed them here… Didn’t you ask me to come here?” Cui Anyu said fearfully.

She was very angry at first. After all, that piece of familiar bait had caused her a lot of suffering.

First, she went to the hospital and did a gastroscopy like a fish on a chopping board. She felt as if she had been cut open. Then, the doctor said that her stomach was very clean. There were no ulcers, no polyps, and no chocolate.

Then, the news of her pregnancy spread to her parents’ ears. Her father, who already had a sense of crisis, immediately flew into a rage and locked himself up!

So be it. Cui Anyu did not want to enter into a contract with Yu Guang and become his slave.

Unexpectedly, she was only in a daze for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, she was looking at Yu Guang’s helpless face! Although he was very handsome, Cui Anyu didn’t have the heart to admire him!

“Can… Can I go back now?” Cui Anyu asked for permission. She really hated feeling inferior, but she couldn’t help but look up at Yu Guang in front of her. She couldn’t get along with him as an equal at all.

If other students saw Cui Anyu’s meek behavior, they would definitely think they were dreaming. After all, Cui Anyu was not only cold and aloof, but also very strong. For her, who was second in ten thousand years, she had always regarded Yu Guang as her opponent and her target. Why was she reduced to this state now?

“It should be the effect of the familiar bait,” Yu Guang looked at the system interface that only he could see and explained, “The familiar bait triggered your animal instincts, so you sensed my familiar space and rushed here.”

Cui Anyu listened to his explanation and said uneasily, “I was lured here by your familiar space? Does that mean I have to sign a contract?”

Although Cui Anyu was sorry about the whole mess, she had originally planned to hide at home until the subdued beast bait failed. At the very least, she would have to wait until the contract was signed so that she wouldn’t be controlled.

In the end, she still came back! And it was her who delivered herself to the door!

“I don’t want to!” Cui Anyu refused with a livid face. “I absolutely don’t want to be your slave!”

In Cui Anyu’s heart, being driven by others was equivalent to being enslaved in disguise. Even if her dreams of becoming a beastmaster were shattered, she was still an independent woman with dignity!

Rather than be ordered around by others, she would rather die!

Seeing her resolute attitude, Yu Guang naturally couldn’t bear to force her.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t say that I had to…”

Before he could finish his sentence, an alarm went off in Yu Guang’s optical computer!

[ Warning! ]

[ Entering the subdued beast space means signing a contract by default! Irreversible! Irreversible! ]

The system’s noisy warning made Yu Guang’s brain buzz.

“I didn’t say I had to sign a contract, but you can’t go against it now that you’ve entered the subdued beast Space! You should be able to feel it.” Yu Guang’s tone changed completely, taking on a completely different meaning.

Hearing this, Cui Anyu covered her face with both hands and subconsciously took two steps back. She leaned against the door and slowly slid down to the floor. She could feel it from above her, fearing the light. The contract had already been formed, and there was no chance for her to resist even if she wanted to.

For someone as strong as her, the humiliation at this moment was like a flood that broke through the dam, and it was unstoppable, crashing into her world!

“Aaaaaah! How could this be!” Cui Anyu covered her face and started crying. “I’m a useless person with no rank, yet I still want to be your familiar. How could this be?!”

Cui Anyu curled up into a ball in despair, allowing her broken emotions to wreak havoc. Her cries also grew louder.

Seeing this, Yu Guang quickly went forward to cover her mouth. This was a male dormitory. If anyone heard this, it would really be hard to explain!

“Don’t cry! I’ll think of a way to break the contract. I’ll look for a mountain of needles and a sea of fire too, okay? Don’t cry for now. It won’t be good if we attract people here,” he comforted her in a fluster.

The two of them were very close to each other. Yu Guang could clearly smell that Cui Anyu had changed into a kind of green tea-scented shampoo. The warm breath she exhaled hit his palm and slowly spread through it.

Cui Anyu stared at Yu Guang with her watery eyes. The overly intimate position made her want to escape, but another thought flashed through her mind: Let’s be together. We should be together.

This unprecedented feeling scared Cui Anyu. She struggled to pull Yu Guang down and covered her hand. She blinked guiltily and said, “You better keep your word.”

“So, our contract is about to be officially signed? Give me a drop of blood now,” Yu Guang said as he spread out his hand. A small vortex formed by air currents spun in his palm.

Cui Anyu nodded. She bit her index finger and squeezed out two drops of blood into the vortex in Yu Guang’s palm. The red drops of blood slowly merged into the void and were swallowed by the small vortex without a trace.

The familiar space emitted a red light. With a breath, the red light disappeared, and the space returned to its original appearance. Both of them felt that the connection between them had become closer.

“Phew.” Yu Guang heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the system popped up again.

[ Contract signed successfully ]

[ Name: Cui Anyu ]

[ Skill: Ice (S) ]

[ Health: 80 ]

[ Mana: 69 ]

[ Attack: 60 ]

[ Resistance: 72 ]

The attributes panel was more comprehensive than before. Cui Anyu was extremely talented and had high potential. However, she had not undergone any training, so her stats were very average.

“Speaking of which, your familiar bait is really not picky. You actually let me, a normal person without a rank, feel your familiar space. So, I’ll give you a warning first. I can’t help you level up,” Cui Anyu reminded guiltily.

After all, he had eaten Yu Guang’s food first. It would be unreasonable for him to complain again.

“Actually, you don’t have to belittle yourself. Your skill is still very high!” Yu Guang said sincerely as he looked at the data. “If you cultivate properly, there will definitely be unexpected effects!”

Cui Anyu thought he was comforting her, and her heart warmed up. She revealed a rare smile. “Hehe, you don’t have to comfort me. I know my situation very well.”

“It’s not…” Yu Guang could not be more sincere.

Cui Anyu did not believe him and interrupted him, “Although we have signed the contract in order to protect our future lives, we still have to make a pact! Do you want to make a pact?”
