Rebellious Contract Beast

Seeing Zhu Yantao's dazed look, Wan Gaoyue's expression soon eased up again, and she said earnestly: "Yantao, as a mother who has been through this, I have to tell you a few words. If you want to pursue a girl, you must first be patient. With patience, sincerity will naturally come. Which girl will not agree to you?"

"This... Mother, Mother... Mother is right."

"Once a woman marries, it's a lifelong commitment. If she chooses the wrong person, her life will be ruined. So in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with this test. Since it's a test, you should pass it by yourself. Asking others for help in everything is not a long-term solution. Can you seek help from others to solve the bottleneck in your cultivation?"

"Yan Tao, mother is doing this for your own good, and also for He Jian Chu Yun's good, don't you think so?"

"Mother is right."

"Go ahead and complete Tsurumi Hatsuun's test. Don't worry about the gains and losses of the moment. When she pledges her love to you in the future, she will be yours. Isn't the gold you give her also yours?"

Wan Gaoyue consoled him for a while and finally got to the point.

Zhu Yantao's eyes lit up. Yes, after He Jianchuyun married him, she would be his. Wouldn't the gold he gave her return to him in the end?
After realizing this, he immediately knelt down and said to Wan Gaoyue with tears in his eyes: "Thank you very much for your advice, mother!"

"Well, I'm glad you understand. But is there anything else you want to say?"

"Nothing."

"Then go out and complete the test she has given you."

"Yes."

Zhu Yantao stood up. At this moment, he was no longer discouraged, but full of energy. However, when he came out of Wan Gaoyue's house, his straight back quickly bent down again.

That’s true, but where can I get the rest of the gold?
This is a big problem that cannot be ignored. Thousands of taels of gold cannot be obtained just by talking.

This trip didn't really help me, but I did drink a lot of chicken soup.

Hey~
Zhu Yantao sighed, but what he didn't know was that in the guest hall, after he left, a maid immediately came up to Wan Gaoyue and asked with a frown, "Madam, this Master Yantao doesn't look like someone who can accomplish anything. How about we change someone else?"

Hearing this, Wan Gaoyue glanced at her and said unhappily, "The arrow has been shot, who are you going to replace now?"

"But……"

"Okay, I know what you're going to say. Let's take another look. If it really doesn't work, I'll do as you say and replace him with someone else."

"Then Master Yan Tao..."

"What? Do you need me to teach you such a simple thing?" Wan Gaoyue's eyes turned cold. The maid next to her shuddered upon seeing this and nodded quickly.

After that, the atmosphere in the living room became quiet. Wan Gaoyue looked at the flowers and plants outside and murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that He Jian Chuyun actually likes gold. Strange, this is not her style. What's going on..."

……

"Xuan Li! Xuan Li, wake up!"

"What's wrong? What are you doing?!"

"Stop sleeping, it's time to go!" He Jian Chuyun shouted, grabbing the scales on Shen Yi's head and pulling him up from the blanket.

Her cultivation level suddenly increased dramatically, and now she has enough strength to pull Shen Yi.

"Where to go?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

"What?" Shen Yi looked puzzled. He Jianchuyun couldn't help but slap his forehead when he saw him like this. He said helplessly, "The day before yesterday, I told you that we were going to Langshuang Mountain for an outing with my aunt and the others. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh~" Shen Yi suddenly remembered it after hearing it, it seemed that it was true, but he didn't take it too seriously.

How should I put it? The assassins of the Lonely Alliance have been quiet in the past five days, and I'm afraid they won't take action in the short term. It would be good to go out and collect some information and relax.

"Okay, but it's really uncomfortable not being able to sleep until you wake up naturally."

"Okay, okay, we'll be back in the afternoon. We'll let you sleep when we get back, okay? I'm worried about you staying in the yard alone."

"I know, I know."

"Then come into my altar space quickly."

Shen Yi nodded and was about to enter He Jianchuyun's consciousness space, but when he saw the expression on the other's face the next second, he hesitated again.

Why is this old witch so excited? She just went out for a walk, what's so strange about that?

He instinctively felt that something was wrong. The day before yesterday, when the old witch told him that she was going for an outing on Langshuang Mountain, judging from her facial expressions, she clearly did not seem that excited.

Shen Yi didn't believe that he suddenly became interested in it.

Coming to Jiangzhou from Daliang, haven’t you seen enough of the wild scenery?

"what happened?"

"There's something wrong with you!"

"What's wrong?"

"Unable to speak……"

"Don't waste time, let's go."

"Okay~" His throat moved and made a "gulp" sound. Shen Yi blinked at He Jianchuyun. Under the other party's puzzled gaze, he suddenly shouted: "The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth!"

"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the next sentence?"

“Chicken stewed with mushrooms~”

"Odd changes to even?"

"Symbols look at the phase line~ok?"

"Okay, you're right."

Now Shen Yi felt relieved and finally entered He Jianchuyun's consciousness space, but he was still thinking about what made him feel wrong.

Hmm...it seems that since I don't know when, every time I want to enter her consciousness space, she would show an inexplicable happiness and anticipation?

My goodness, is this old witch addicted to the pain?

Shen Yi couldn't help but shook his head. The severe pain brought by the process of the contracted beast entering the space of the master's altar was hard to like. It would only bring negative emotions. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a spiritual artifact.

Forget it, I don’t understand it and don’t want to think about it anymore.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"Well, let's go."

"Miss, this way." Arriving at the front yard, Zhu Hong waved to He Jian Chu Yun. Outside the door, several carriages had already been parked. In one of the luxurious carriages, He Jian Yan Qiu, Zhu Yan Dong and others had been waiting for a long time.

"Cousin Chuyun, here!" Zhu Yanhan in front waved at her. He Jian Chuyun nodded after seeing it and replied, "I'll be right there." Then he told Zhuhong and the others to take his carriage and went over.

"Come up, why are you coming out now?"

"Hey, I'm waking Xuan Li up."

"Your contracted beast? Why do you need to wake it up? I think you should put it in the spirit-loving instrument. Letting it wander around all day is ridiculous."

"Yes, cousin, your contracted beast is probably about to reach adolescence. I saw it outside your yard not long ago. If it hurts someone, it will always be bad."

"My cousin is right. I will teach him a lesson." He Jianchuyun nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he mocked Shen Yi in his heart: "Xuan Li, did you hear that? People have said something about you. Why don't you change your bad habits in the future!"

"Tsk, just tell me if you want to. Do you think I will take it seriously?" Shen Yi replied disdainfully, and did a front flip from above the altar to below the altar.

He Jian Chuyun was about to say something, but the next second he heard Zhu Yandong say: "Hey, don't be too harsh on Xuan Li. If I had such a life god, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night, hahaha~"

"Cousin, you are joking." At this point, He Jianyanqiu next to him also asked: "Yun'er, who was the assassin who tried to assassinate you that day? Did you find out anything? Is it serious?"

Hearing his aunt's question, He Jian Chu Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, aunt, it's just a petty thief who came from nowhere. I have sent people to deal with him. It's okay, aunt, don't worry."

She replied like this, and then she heard Zhu Yandong ask: "Was it sent by Zhu Yixuan?"

He Jian Chuyun was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that this matter was not that complicated. It would not be difficult for his cousin to guess who hired the murderer, and he had some dealings with Yang Bayuan, so he might have asked something.

Then she nodded and replied in an uncertain tone: "I think...right..."

"It looks like it's him. Chuyun, don't worry. When you come back, your aunt will send someone to deal with Zhu Yixuan so that he won't have the chance to trouble you again." He Jianyanqiu said this, with a cold light flashing in her eyes when she said this.

Now she has regained some of her power in the Zhu Mansion. As the mistress of the Zhu family, it is easy for her to deal with Zhu Yixuan.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Okay, it's getting late, it's time to leave, let's go."

"Yes, ma'am." The coachman in front responded, and then the carriage slowly moved forward, drove out of the Zhu Mansion, and headed out of the city.

He Jian Chuyun put her head close to the carriage and looked outside. In addition to her aunt's carriage and her own carriage, there were five or six other carriages following behind. It seemed that other young masters and young ladies of the Zhu family were also going to Langshuang Mountain for an outing this time.

As the convoy drove out of Jiangzhou City, He Jian Chuyun didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly called out in his mind: "Xuan Li! Xuan Li?"

"What?"

"Do you know what month and day it is?"

"How should I know? Why are you asking?" Shen Yi looked confused. In his previous life, when he had a holiday, he couldn't even remember how many days had passed in a week, let alone the years and months.

However, He Jian Hatsuyun did not answer him. Instead, he snorted twice and stopped talking. He looked at the scenery receding outside the car window, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The carriage was moving neither fast nor slow, but it did not take too long to reach Langshuang Mountain. Soon, the carriage entered a forest at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone listened to the chirping of birds outside, and the carriage stopped.

"Okay, that's it. The rest of the journey is up to us."

"Everyone, come down."

"Mother, where are we going this time?"

"Let's go to Peach Blossom Valley. The peach blossoms there are in full bloom at this season and the scenery should be nice." He Jian Yanqiu said, and then led everyone forward along the path.

The driver behind had parked the carriage in the woods, leaving a few guards to guard it, while the rest of the Zhu family servants followed behind the crowd with various picnic supplies.

Langshuang Mountain is really tall, especially when you walk on the path at the foot of the mountain, you can feel its majestic momentum more and more. Looking up, the patches of emerald green forests on the mountainside look like a slanted grassland if you don’t look closely. The clouds and mist are lingering not far away, giving people a very spiritual feeling.

In fact, the spiritual energy here is indeed richer than that in Jiangzhou City. From time to time on the road, you can see a few monks in simple white clothes meditating on the rocks, with their eyes closed, immersed in practice.

Often when passing by these people, people will shut up and keep quiet.

There was a girl in the team, named Zhu Yingying, who was from the sixth house. She was only fourteen years old and would be a marriageable girl in three months.

On the way, she would come over to chat with He Jian Chu Yun from time to time, calling her Sister Chu Yun all the time, very kindly and lively. She seemed to have a very good relationship with Zhu Yanhan as well, talking and laughing with them, and getting along well with anyone.

After walking for about half an hour, a peach color came into view in the distance. A clear stream flowed through it. Peach trees grew on both sides of the river. The bright peach blossoms added a different color to people's eyes. The fragrance of peach blossoms could be smelled from a long distance away.

"It's Peach Blossom Valley!"

"so beautiful!"

"Let's get there quickly!"

Seeing the young people running excitedly towards the Peach Blossom Valley below, He Jian Yan Qiu smiled and said to the maid next to him: "Let's go, let's go down too."

"Good lady."

After entering Peach Blossom Valley, Zhu Yanhan saw that the place here was relatively empty, so he took off the soul-loving magic weapon hanging from his waist and shouted, "Come out, Qingbao."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light appeared from under the soul-loving artifact, and a giant beast with a shoulder height of nearly three meters appeared in front of it.

The entire body of this contracted beast is green, and the color gets darker as it goes up. At its back, the green is so dark that it becomes black. Its eyes are also green. It is not known whether its skin is scales or not, but the skin texture is very complex. The skin on its forelimbs, hind limbs, and both sides of its back are raised, and look like blades, emitting a cold glow.

The thick beard on its chin adds a bit of dominance to it.

Shen Yi recognized this contracted beast. It seemed to be called Blue-Eyes King Blade Beast, a top-grade B-level beast. It was said to be the nemesis of many bear-type contracted beasts, including the Tiger-Kiss Ferocious.

Maybe it had been a long time since Qingbao came out. As soon as he came out, he jumped around Zhu Yanhan excitedly, and finally stretched out his huge tongue to lick his face frantically.

"Hahaha! Stop messing around, Qingbao. Go and play around."

"Hoohoo!"

Afterwards, the others released their contracted beasts one after another and let them wander around.

He Jianchuyun saw this and immediately asked Shen Yi, "Xuan Li, do you want to come out and look at the wind as well?"

"casual."

"Then I'll let you out."

Shaking his head, Shen Yi emerged directly from her consciousness space, then walked a little further away, crouching down to observe the group of contracted beasts not far away.

He was looking to see if any of his former subordinates were among these contracted beasts. After all, he had been summoned from the beast spirit world by the old witch, so it was not impossible that they were his former subordinates. But unfortunately, he looked for a long time and found nothing, so he gave up and turned to look up at the sky.

But he can fly, so now besides liking gold and sleeping, Shen Yi also likes to look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle to see if there are any wild geese or something in the sky. If there are any, he will fly up to catch them and throw them into the stove to roast.
