Rebellious Contract Beast

After leaving Qingshuisongyuan, this family farce was over. On the way, He Jianchuyun asked Shen Yi in his heart: "Xuanli, how can I help my aunt? Do you have any idea in mind?"

"Don't you already have an idea? Why are you asking me?"

"This is different! There are so many pills waiting for me to refine at the Chen family. You don't want to go hungry, do you?"

"Hey, I don't want to go hungry, how about you beg me?"

He Jianchuyun's eyes lit up, and he quickly said in his heart: "Please."

"It's too perfunctory. It doesn't count."

"How about I wear... a maid outfit?"

"I really can't stand you, but this is almost the same, hehe."

"What's your idea?"

"Emmm, does your aunt have some teahouse business? I heard there are quite a few of them."

"Yes, there are quite a few, but they were all squeezed out by the teahouse opened by the Wan family."

“It’s good if there are quite a few.”

"What on earth are you going to do?"

"Remember the star effect I told you about?"

"I remember, but what does it have to do with this?" He Jianchuyun looked puzzled.

"Of course, I plan to create a star." Shen Yi said in a low voice.

"Hmm? How do you make it?"

"It's actually not as difficult as you think. There's actually another word for creating a star, which is called character packaging."

"Character setting...packaging?" Tsurumi Hatsuyun was confused. She had never heard of this term before and naturally didn't understand its specific meaning.

"You will understand slowly. I will make preparations when the time comes. When the time comes, I will ask the people from the Tiger Gang to consult with your eldest cousin."

"Oh fine."

Nodding, He Jian Chu Yun looked back, and remembering the very unpleasant New Year's Eve dinner, she couldn't help but shook her head, and continued to walk towards Mingyanyuan with Zhinuan Huahong.

Interestingly, when they passed by Zhu Birong's house, He Jian Chuyun saw a group of people gathered in front of the gate, and the leader was her second cousin Zhu Yanhan.

He brought his guards and Zhu Yanfeng, broke down the gate of the mansion by force, and shouted at people inside.

"Listen to me, you little slave in there. Get that little bastard Zhu Zhenglu out of here! How dare you bully my brother? This matter won't count!"

"Master Yanhan, my young master is not feeling well and is still recuperating at home. It is inconvenient for him to see guests. If you have anything to say, can you come another day?"

"No! I want him to get out now! This account must be settled!"

"Master Yanhan, your second concubine Peng is still in there, why are you making so much noise..."

"What second aunt? Who is Peng Hu? Tell her to get out of here too! And Zhu Birong too!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Shen Yi couldn't help but laugh. This Zhu Yanhan fits the image of an arrogant and domineering young master, and at the same time, it's quite to his liking.

Under his aggressive pressure, Peng Hu quickly walked out of the yard, but she did not have a gloomy face as usual. Instead, she greeted Zhu Yanhan with a smile and acted cautiously, for fear of angering him.

Yes, compared with He Jianchuyun and Zhu Yandong, Zhu Yanhan's situation is completely different. He has talent, and the life god of his contract is also of upper-grade B level. If he is trained well, he will at least have spiritual cultivation in the future, and it is very likely that he will inherit the position of the future head of the family.

Zhu Jianqing would not abandon him easily, but would show the greatest tolerance to him. Because of this, Zhu Yanhan was not someone who could be bullied casually by Peng Hu's concubine.

You know, Wan Gaoyue wants to drive He Jian Yanqiu out of the Zhu family, and Zhu Yanhan is the biggest obstacle.

Zhu Yanhan did not change his attitude despite Peng Hu's smiling face. He still yelled at him to call Zhu Zhenglu out. In addition, with the pressure from the guards behind him, Peng Hu had no choice but to order his men to push Zhu Zhenglu out of the room.

After seeing Zhu Zhenglu almost turned into a human stick, Zhu Yanhan suddenly became speechless.

People are already in such a miserable state, it seems a bit unreasonable to continue to cause trouble... ?
He Jian Chuyun couldn't help but chuckle twice. He didn't watch any further and returned to Mingyan Courtyard with two maids.

Unlike Qingshuisongyuan, the New Year's Eve dinner in Mingyanyuan went very harmoniously. Of the dishes on the table, Shen Yixuan ate 50% and was only 10% full, and the remaining 4.9% went into the stomachs of the four maids. The remaining 0.1% was eaten by Zhuhong and Hejian Chuyun, 19% each.

"Have you figured out the fan?"

After taking a nap, Shen Yi squinted his eyes and looked at He Jian Chu Yun. She was sitting next to him studying the Qian Huan screen that He Jian Yan Qiu gave her.

The color of this fan is her favorite red, but it is not that bright. To be precise, it is maple red. On one side, there are countless continuous figures painted with ink, like a dancing dancer, even elegant. On the other side, there is a painting of colorful fallen leaves. The red color of the fan itself completely embellishes the fallen leaves and blends with the whole painting.

"I seem to know how to use it." The girl smiled faintly, suddenly stood up and retreated to a wide area, letting the flying snow fall on her shoulders.

"how to use?"

"Let's have a competition, and you'll know afterward."

"Oh?" Shen Yi's eyes widened slightly, and then his mouth opened with a strange smile.

Great, now I can find another opportunity to bully this old witch.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah." He Jian Chuyun nodded, but soon said, "But wait a moment." As she spoke, she took out a sword. This was an ordinary long sword she bought before the Broken Rainbow Sword. Although it cost a lot of silver, this sword was not even a low-grade magic weapon and could not hurt Shen Yi at all.

Dipping her sword in white flour, she added, "Okay, if you get flour on you, it means I've hurt you, understand?"

"OK." Shen Yi nodded, then took a step forward and came in front of her.

"Can we start?"

"Not yet. Let me tell you in advance, don't use too much force, or else I'll die and there won't be anyone to bully you."

"Yes, yes, I'll hold back a little." Shen Yi understood and asked, "Is it okay now?"

"Yes, let's start..." He Jianchuyun nodded, but as soon as the word "start" came out of her mouth, a "swish" sound came from Shen Yi's body, and the curved and sharp dragon claws immediately lifted up a large piece of flying snow and reached directly towards her.

Her face changed, and the fan in her hand opened with a "swish". Spiritual light flowed, and the area around the fan became misty and expanded several times. At the critical moment, a large number of maple leaves exploded.

"Xuan Li, you sneak attack!"

"This is called striking first to gain the upper hand, understand?" Shen Yi laughed. These maple leaves appeared out of thin air, leaving streaks of light as they fell to the ground. The girl's figure was instantly hidden among the slowly falling maple leaves.

He didn't know where she went, but his outstretched claws continued to grab forward, and then he pinched with four fingers.

"Ok?"

The pinched maple leaf disappeared in an instant, but Tsurumi Hatsuun, who was supposed to be hiding behind it, disappeared without a trace.

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and swept his other claw from right to left. Another large number of maple leaves disappeared, but the girl was still not seen.

"Oh my god, where are the people?"

"Xuan Li, I'm here."

Hearing her voice from the other side, Shen Yi quickly turned his head to look, and saw a large number of maple leaves appearing out of thin air where the fan flew past. Just as he was about to reach out to grab them, maple leaves also fell on both sides the next moment, seriously blocking his sight.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Shen Yi understood something. He retracted his claws and observed the gaps between the maple leaves intently, trying to find where He Jianchuyun was. At the same time, he was also guessing what tricks she was playing.

Soon, he seemed to realize something, and he twisted his body back like a dragon, and saw the falling maple leaves forming a human figure rushing towards him quickly.

Without saying a word, Shen Yi clawed down, and the human figure was instantly pinched into countless maple leaves that scattered with the flying snow. Seeing that it was not a real person, he turned around and pinched another human figure with another claw.

The maple leaves around moved in the wind, constantly forming human figures, but before they could take shape, the dragon's tail swept across 180 degrees, dispersing them all. The only remaining human figure flew over, but was bitten to pieces in mid-air.

"That's all?" Shen Yi said provocatively with disdain in his eyes. The silver bell-like laughter of a girl soon came from all around.

Gigggggg~
The voice was so ethereal that it was impossible to tell from which direction it came. After the laughter, a gust of wind blew up out of nowhere, blowing up the fallen maple leaves again. Then four or five human-shaped phantoms appeared, dancing towards him.

Shen Yi swept his claws and spurred away the two figures in front of him. He didn't bother to care about the figures in other directions as they were all fake. But just as he thought of this, he heard a "clang" sound from his body. He turned his head and saw a conspicuous white mark on the scales on his back, which was covered with flour.

"I hit you!"

"I can still move even with half my body gone, so what's this little injury? Try harder!"

Shen Yi was still disdainful. With a "Sila" sound, his body swelled several times again. He raised his claws and swept casually. The two maple leaf figures next to him were immediately scattered by him, but soon more maple leaf figures appeared, dancing near or far from him.

As soon as he moved, the other figures in the blind spot of his vision also moved and rushed over.

With a cold snort, Shen Yi controlled his body and swung his tail, dispersing all the approaching maple leaf figures. There was no resistance from his tail, and none of these figures was He Jian Chu Yun.

He released his senses to scan the surroundings, but unfortunately these maple leaves were not physical objects but were made up of spiritual energy. His senses were blocked everywhere and were not as useful as his naked eyes.

"Where are you?"

"you guess."

The girl's joyful voice came from all directions, fans flew over her head, and a large number of maple leaves fell down.

His ears moved, and Shen Yi observed his surroundings vigilantly, while thinking about something in his mind.

The flying maple leaves formed phantoms of dancers. Their dancing steps were like the falling of autumn leaves, extremely light and weightless, with a little more murderous intent than before.

The old witch is becoming more and more proficient in using the Thousand Illusions on the Screen, and is becoming more and more serious about it.

The fan passed through his sight again. This time, Shen Yi simply ignored the phantoms around him, staring at the movement of the fan. Then he suddenly jumped up, raised his dragon claws and slapped the fan.

wow~
A large number of maple leaves were blown away by the strong wind, and the snow on the ground also exploded. Originally, Shen Yi looked confident of victory, but when his claws touched the ground, his expression suddenly changed.

The fans are all fake!

When he reacted, he found that the phantom he had just ignored had appeared behind him.

Dang~
The sound of scales being hit was heard, and then drifted away along with the girl's triumphant laughter.

Shen Yi's face looked ugly. This old witch was playing tricks on him, so she felt very happy. The happier she was, the angrier he became.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, eh? Then wait until I catch you, then wait until you cry!"

"Hehe, come and catch me."

There are so many maple leaves that Shen Yi can hardly see the snow. None of the human figures are real, but with He Jianchuyun's proficiency, it gives people a feeling that every human figure is her. Once he ignores them, their attacks will turn from virtual to real.

Because he was a little more angry, Shen Yi began to attack indiscriminately. As long as a figure dared to appear, no matter whether it was real or not, he would directly blast it away!

But this frustrated look made He Jian Chu Yun laugh even more happily. She stopped attacking and shook the folding fan in her hand, summoning new maple leaves, allowing more phantoms to be born, allowing the contracted beast inside to destroy them at will.

Ten minutes later, Shen Yi, who was surrounded by maple leaves, seemed to have not spoken for a long time.

Feeling that she had had enough fun, she quickly dodged and merged into the group of maple leaves, calling out: "Xuan Li? Xuan Li? How are you?"

There was no response from inside, which made her frown, but when she used her senses to probe inside, a smile appeared on her face again.

"You lose."

"is it?"

"It's been so long, and you haven't caught me yet. Doesn't this mean you lose?"

"I beg you to try harder."

"You're not angry, are you?"

"how could be?"

"Okay, that's what you said." He Jianchuyun breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he became extremely serious.

"The wind rustles, the fields are crisscrossed, and the horse is drunk in the red dust and autumn wind."

"Hmm?" The flying maple leaves suddenly stopped, which made Shen Yi perk up.

He Jianchuyun waved the Qianhuan screen in his hand and hummed something at the same time.

"The sky is clear and desolate, with snowflakes flying into my eyebrows and endless frost leaves falling all over the sky!"

The maple leaves were in chaos, even more violent than before, and a sense of autumn emerged, as if the seasons were going backwards. Soon, human-shaped phantoms appeared again, their bodies were several times more solid than before, and they danced with the maple leaves.

"The cold light shines for a moment in a dream, and among thousands of falsehoods I seek my true self!"

With the last sentence, He Jianchuyun raised the folding fan in her hand to cover her face, and all the phantoms moved with the maple leaves in the sky, and her figure was completely hidden in it.

Shen Yi had a gloomy face. He had been enduring for a long time, and now it was his turn!

He suppressed his breath and completely ignored these phantoms. He suddenly spread his dragon wings and leaped into the sky.

Now it was Tsurumi Hatsuyun's turn to change her expression. She realized what she wanted to do, but it was too late.

The phantoms around her dissipated one by one, and the next moment she felt her body tighten and a low voice came from behind her.

"caught you!"

"You, you are cheating!"

"Playing tricks? If we really fight, will you still be able to survive my dragon breath?"

"I...let me go, this doesn't count."

"Does it count as your saying that it's useless? Wasn't it fun just now?"

"Not fun."

"You had a lot of fun teasing me, didn't you? Yeah? Now it's my turn!"

"Alright, alright, alright, Master, can you please let me go? I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again."

"Pick it up and say it."

"Oh, Master, Chu Yun was wrong, please let me go, okay?"

"That's the taste. It feels good when I feel the sound of the clamp ravaging me."

"what!"
