Rebellious Contract Beast

Lin Xiayu paused fanning herself, sat up slightly, shook her head, and said nonchalantly, "Nothing, I just saved Chu Yun's life a while ago, and I felt a strong affinity with her from the moment we met, so I've always wanted to make friends with her, alas~"

As she spoke, she sighed and continued, "She was so good. She didn't even show any appreciation for saving my life. She just left and didn't come to see me for a long time. I missed her so much."

"Ms. Lin..."

"When you go back, remember to ask your leader to send my regards to Chu Yun, and ask her to come to the Arrow House to chat with me when she has time."

"I see. Don't worry, Miss Lin. We will definitely inform the leader about this."

"Really? Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, this is for you. With this thing, it will be easier for you Tiger Gang members to do things in the future." Lin Xiayu said as she threw something over.

An employee of Tianxiaren Group quickly reached out to catch it, took a closer look, and immediately his face lit up and he said, "Thank you, Miss Lin."

This is the retainer token of the prestigious Lin family. With this thing, the Tiger Gang can do things in the name of the Lin family. How can this not be a surprise?

At the same time, Lin Xiayu's giving of this token also indicated that the matter was almost done.

"Ms. Lin, we have nothing else to do. If there is nothing else, I will go back and report. Goodbye."

"Go, go, go."

……

In Mingyan Courtyard, when Shen Yi heard Xiangtao's words, a look of disdain flashed across his beastly face.

"Why should I be afraid of her? I've always called her that."

"She is your master..."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Shen Yi was too lazy to explain anything. He was already discovered anyway, so he stopped pretending and asked Xiang Tao directly, "When did you start eavesdropping?"

"From the moment you opened the door."

"So you heard everything?"

"You won't explain why you're talking?"

"Is this weird?"

"Yes." Xiang Tao stared at him closely, with curiosity and confusion in her eyes, as if she wanted to turn Shen Yi over and see him inside out.

Looking at her eyes, Shen Yi sighed inwardly. Almost everyone would show such an expression when they saw that he could speak.

Shaking his head, he simply turned around and continued walking forward, while Xiangtao leaned forward, leaving her back from the wall and followed him.

"This is the first time I've seen a contracted beast that can talk. I've never even heard of it before. The day before yesterday, I heard Zhuhong say that every night the young lady talks to herself in her room, as if she's talking to someone. Could it be that the young lady is talking to you?"

"You saw me talking? And you still can't guess who it is?"

"When did you start talking to the young lady?"

"A long time ago."

"how long?"

"If you don't know how to chat, just go away, okay? OK?"

"Ouko? What do you mean?"

"I mean, it's not good."

"I see." Xiang Tao followed behind him, nodded in realization, and then asked: "Ou... Ke... uh... Is this the language of your contracted beasts?"

"I don't know, don't ask me."

"Are there any other contracted beasts that can speak like you?"

"How should I know? But there should be."

"Why have I never heard of anyone making a contract with a talking god of fate before you?"

"Oh my god..." Shen Yi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xiang Tao with a strange look. This woman's chat was completely awkward, which made people feel a little uncomfortable. But even so, he still replied impatiently: "The number is too small. The number of people who can be contracted is less than one in a billion. I was just summoned by the old witch by chance."

"Can you understand human language as soon as you are born?"

"Correct!"

"You are a contracted beast, you cannot learn magic, and you don't know the art of communicating with spirits. How can you understand human language when you are born? Could it be that you also use our human language in the beast spirit world?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask! You really have to get to the bottom of this, right?"

Being really impatient, Shen Yi simply replied rudely. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a movement under the scales. He looked down and saw that it seemed to be a message from Qu Xiangui. So he turned around and said to Xiang Tao, "You can understand it however you want. I can't explain it clearly even if you ask me to. You just need to know that I can talk, but you can't tell others about this casually. You don't want your lady to get into trouble because of me, right?"

"That's natural."

"I understand. Goodbye, bye!"

"where are you going?"

Shen Yi spread his limbs and ran quickly. Xiang Tao wanted to chase him, but seeing that he was going towards He Jian Chu Yun's boudoir, she had no choice but to give up.

She still had many questions in her mind, but it seemed that she could only wait for the next opportunity.

After pushing the door open and entering the house, Shen Yi swung his body and used his tail to close the door again.

Now the old witch is making elixirs in the alchemy room, so there is no one in the room except him, which saves trouble.

No one was watching, so Shen Yi quickly pried open one of the scales on his arm and took out the message talisman stuck inside.

When I opened it, I found that it was indeed a letter from Qu Xiangui, and it was good news.

Seeing the content displayed above, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile. Although it was not surprising that Lin Xiayu agreed to this matter, he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that it said that the employees of Tianxiaren Group had obtained the Lin family's guest order.

With the Lin family's retainer order, his plan was almost successful. The next step was to contact the Wu family, using the Lin family's name to intimidate the Wu family and get them to agree to cooperate.

Once both families agreed, the Tiger Gang could run rampant in Jiangzhou, and they wouldn't have to take big families like the Zhu family and the Chen family seriously.

There is just one thing, Lin Xiayu wants to meet the old witch... well...

If Shen Yi didn't know that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was a spinster, he wouldn't have thought too much about it and would have thought that Lin Xiayu just wanted to make a friend.

But Shen Yi knew that Lin Xiayu was a spinster, which was a bit... When she asked to meet the old witch, one could easily guess what she was up to.

"Hiss~" After taking a deep breath, Shen Yi shook his head.

It is not an easy task to get the Lin family involved. If it can be done thoroughly and let the old witch sell her body... it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Without much thought, Shen Yi put away the message talisman, turned around and walked out of the house again, wagging his tail and heading towards the alchemy room inside.

All things are difficult at the beginning. In fact, Shen Yi was not absolutely sure whether he could convince the Lin family at the beginning. He just gambled that Lin Xiayu would be interested in the old witch, which made Qu Xiangui mention He Jian Chuyun to his employees in advance.

If it weren't for the old witch as a bargaining chip, Shen Yi was less than 50% sure whether Lin Xiayu would agree to cooperate.

He didn't dare to be a gambler, so he could only drag the old witch into the mix to increase his chances of success.

Also, two girls chatting... shouldn't be a big deal...

Hey~
Shaking his head, Shen Yi stopped thinking about it.

The last time she sent people to repair the roof of the main house, the old witch also had someone build a wall outside the alchemy room. So now the alchemy room has been transformed into a small courtyard, which is watched over by Bo Nian and no one is allowed to come in.

However, since Bo Nian was a secret guard, no one knew where he was. Shen Yi looked around for a long time but didn't see him, but he didn't care too much and just pushed the door open and went in.

"Hey! Old witch."

"what are you doing?"

"Please reply to this letter for me."

"Can't you write?"

"You've already said that my handwriting is ugly."

"Puchi~" He Jianchuyun couldn't help laughing, but before he finished laughing, Shen Yi pulled him up from the futon and forcibly pushed him to the edge of the chair.

"Hurry up, write a letter."

"Write what?"

"Let Qu Xiangui send someone to deliver the guest token given by the Lin family to Qinguan City. The people over there can take action now."

"Oh~ um, the Lin family agreed?"

"Humph, of course I agreed. Otherwise, how would I get the Lin family token?"

"Yeah, that's right, but the Lin family didn't make any requests."

"mentioned."

"any request?"

"Do you still remember the girl called Lin Xiayu from Xiuqing Archery House last time?"

"Remember? What's wrong?"

"She made the request. She wanted to see you. She said you were ungrateful. She saved your life, but you forgot about it and didn't even go to see her, the one who saved your life..."

He Jianchuyun was writing beautiful words with the pen in her hand, but when she heard Shen Yi's words, she paused: "Uh..."

"What's wrong?"

"Why would she care about this?"

"How should I know? If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Uh... okay." He Jianchuyun nodded.

That made sense. After all, Lin Xiayu was indeed his savior. Even if he didn't give her any reward, he should at least go and visit her. He almost forgot about her for such a long time, which was really wrong.

In short, He Jian Chu Yun didn't think there was anything strange, as it should be, but she didn't notice that Shen Yi's words sounded a little guilty.

Obviously hiding something.

Two minutes later, Tsurumi Hatsuun put away the writing brush and ink on the table, picked up the letter and handed it to him, saying, "Here, it's done."

Shen Yi took it and glanced at it, then nodded with satisfaction and handed the letter to the old witch: "Well, that's it, use it."

Taking back the message talisman, He Jianchuyun just thought about it, and the black talisman paper in his hand spontaneously ignited without fire and burned up. No ash was left on the ground, and the words written on it turned into faint light spots and dissipated in the air.

"Um..." Seeing that everything that needed to be done was done, Shen Yi couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to meet Lin Xiayu?"

"This..." He Jianchuyun couldn't help but feel distressed. It sounded simple to go and see Lin Xiayu, but in terms of her personality, she really hated visiting other people's homes.

The most terrifying thing is that Lin Xiayu used the identity of her savior to kidnap her. If she went there, she would have nothing in common to talk about, which would be the most torturous thing.

He Jianchuyun couldn't stand the fact that she had to deal with something difficult and couldn't do it right away, so she looked at the furnace that was still emitting smoke and said, "Why not do it tomorrow? What do you think?"

"Okay, it's your choice."

"Do you want to come along?"

"Of course I'm going! Why not?"

"Yeah, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"OK."

Shen Yi nodded and was about to leave the alchemy room, but as soon as he raised his front paw, he remembered something and said with a grin, "Old witch, I bought you a new skin, do you want to try it?"

"What new skin?"

"This one……"

Shen Yi took out the blue Quxianyi that Wu Sheng bought for him.

He Jian Chuyun, who was originally curious, saw that the so-called new skin was actually this thing. Her pretty face was immediately covered with frost, and she almost couldn't help but pick up the broom to blast Shen Yi out.

"Bunny hair, twin ponytails, maid outfit, I really want to see this old witch!"

"Get out of here!"

"Don't bother me!"

"roll!"

"..."

……

Another day passed in a flash.

The sun in the sky was as hot as yesterday. Even if one just stood under the sun and did nothing, he would sweat profusely in a short while.

As for Shen Yi, he didn't feel anything even though the temperature was over a thousand degrees, and the temperature of only thirty-four degrees had no effect on him at all.

Like winter, summer is also an exceptionally cool season.

Near noon, the carriage was ready as arranged by Zhu Hong, and He Jianchuyun took Shen Yi on the carriage and drove out of Zhu Mansion.

On the way, He Jianchuyun couldn't help but ask Shen Yi in his heart: "Xuan Li, what do you think the eldest lady of the Lin family wants to do by meeting me?"

"Maybe he wants to play with you or something."

"What can she find me for?"

"How should I know? Just take a look and you'll know."

Perhaps because the weather was too hot, there were not many people on the street and the carriage was able to move freely. It soon arrived at the gate of Xiuqing Archery House.

After getting off the carriage, Tsurumi Hatsuyun asked the driver to wait on the side while he went into the shop alone.

The shopkeeper in the shop was lying in a rocking chair as usual, humming some opera songs and fanning himself with a fan to drive away the summer heat.

When he noticed someone coming in, he subconsciously wanted to tell the customer to choose whatever he wanted to buy, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was He Jian Chu Yun, he quickly stood up.

"Yo! It's Miss Chu Yun!"

"Yes, it's me. Where is your young lady?"

"Please wait and take a seat. I will go and inform my young lady."

"Well, you go."

He Jianchuyun didn't say anything, just nodded and sat down in front of the tea table behind the screen.

No one knew what the shopkeeper did after he walked out of the small door. Anyway, it was more than ten minutes later when I saw him again.

"Miss Chu Yun! Miss Chu Yun!"

"Come with me, my lady is waiting for you."

"Oh, here we come."

"Come on, follow me here."

The shopkeeper said this with a smile, but looking at his smile, He Jianchuyun frowned slightly.

She didn't know why, but she felt that the shopkeeper looked at her strangely. The feeling came back that night, making her very uncomfortable.

As for what the store keeper's eyes meant, perhaps only Shen Yi could understand.

It's very similar to the way an elder looks at his daughter-in-law, but not quite like that...
