Rebellious Contract Beast

Seeing that his actions could not affect He Jian Chuyun's soul in the slightest, Shen Yi could only give up unwillingly and looked at her with dry eyes.

This Yuanshen tastes so delicious.

I can only eat a little bit of the world's best delicacies. Is there anything more torturous than this?
Shen Yi had no choice but to stay beside her and asked, "Your soul can talk to me here, but where is your body outside? Why don't you wake up?"

He Jianchuyun's soul snorted complacently. This consciousness space can be said to be a small world completely dominated by her. How could Shen Yi bully her here?

However, despite her pride, she still answered his question, her voice filled with the childishness that only a child can muster.

"I have just broken through to the consciousness stage, and my realm is unstable. I am now consolidating it."

"Are you serious?"

"what does it mean?"

"I mean, you were originally consolidating your realm seriously, but your soul is here talking to me leisurely. So the question is, what are you doing now?"

"Hmm? The soul is the soul, and I am also me?" He Jianchuyun was a little confused by Shen Yi's words.

"Are you talking to me or consolidating your cultivation?"

"Can't we do both at the same time?"

"You didn't say a word outside, how did your soul communicate with me?"

"Uh...what's so weird about this?"

"Okay...your body and your soul are doing two different things. It's like you were copied and the two of you are looking at each other. So, is the other you in front of you really you?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I mean, are your physical body and your spirit really the same person? Is it possible that one day you will betray your physical body?"

Tsurumi Hatsuyun's soul shook his head and said helplessly, "The body is me, and the soul is also me. It's not as weird as you say. To put it simply, I am just doing two things at the same time."

"Okay, but why does your voice sound like a child's?"

"This..." He Jianchuyun was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice had changed back to normal, the childishness disappeared, and the girl's voice was as clear and moving as the call of a lark.

"Are you used to this?"

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Shen Yi nodded repeatedly.

And Tsurumi Hatsuyun's soul couldn't help but sigh.

Let me say it again, this is her consciousness space. Although Shen Yi is her life god, he is just a visitor in her consciousness space. How could she not see what he is doing secretly?
Shen Yi's claws went in and out of her soul body again and again, stubbornly trying to touch herself and grab her soul.

"Xuanli."

"what happened?"

"Don't bother trying. You can't touch me now?"

"Uh..." Shen Yi withdrew his claws angrily.

He was unwilling to be able to only taste the most delicious thing in the world for himself.

But since the old witch had said so, he could only give up and begged, "Old witch, can you just let me have another bite?"

"No." The girl still shook her head.

"It's not like you can't make it up to me, why are you so stingy?"

"It's good that I can make up for it, but do you know that if you only eat a bite, I will need to practice day and night for several months to make up for it?"

"Then can you at least give me some more? I've helped you break through the level of consciousness, and you don't even have a reward?"

"You..." He Jianchuyun wanted to ask Shen Yi what the bite he just took was. But after thinking about it, she simply closed her mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you some more, but you can't eat too much."

"Okay." Shen Yi agreed without thinking, but in his heart he was thinking about taking a bite of the old witch's soul after it materialized.

Don’t eat too much?

This is impossible!
This Yuanshen is a good thing. After eating it this time, who knows when I will want to eat it again?
However, He Jian Chu Yun seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and did not materialize directly. Instead, she raised her little hand to pluck off a strand of hair, then blew it gently, and the strand of hair floated towards Shen Yi like light smoke.

As it got closer, the hair flashed with light, turning from virtual to real.

"This..." Shen Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that this old witch was so cautious and guarded him so well.

But in the end he still opened his mouth and ate the strand of hair. The wonderful taste spread across his taste buds, giving him a great enjoyment.

It's so delicious!
Shen Yi smacked his lips twice, still not satisfied.

But it would have been better if he didn't eat it. After eating it, he wanted to eat a few more bites.

"Are you satisfied?"

"Not satisfied!"

"Don't be greedy!"

"You'll give me a hair to send away the beggar?"

"Why is that? You are so big, how can I withstand a bite from you? If you want to eat me all, you might as well just kill me!"

"I don't care, I still want to eat! Hurry up!"

Shen Yi started to act like a rogue, raising his claws and scratching her, but he was just scratching the air and couldn't touch He Jian Chu Yun's soul at all.

Seeing his expression, He Jian Chu Yun knew that even if he was given some more to eat, he probably would not give up.

His stomach is more filling than the legendary glutton, and he never gets tired of eating. If he keeps eating, his own soul will be eaten up by him.

She wanted to just ignore him, but then she changed her mind and realized that if she ignored him, she didn't know how he would torment her tonight.

So He Jian Chuyun soon came up with an idea, turned to look at Shen Yi, and said: "How about this, Xuan Li, you can eat it if you want, but we have to play a game. If you win, I will let you take a bite, but if you lose, don't think about eating my soul anymore? Okay?"

"what game?"

"Hide and seek!"

"Playing hide and seek here?"

"Yes~"

"How can we play here? Let's go play outside."

"No, you have spiritual awareness, this is not fair to me, let's just play here, you come find my soul."

"This... is fine too." Shen Yi nodded without thinking too much.

If you win, you can take a bite of the old witch's soul. The temptation is too great.

"Well, well, you stay here and I'll find a place to hide first."

"OK."

Shen Yi nodded again, and then watched He Jianchuyun's soul stand up. His small body flew away into the distance like an elf fairy.

After waiting there for a while, Shen Yi quickly became impatient and shouted, "Are you done yet? I'm going to start looking!"

"Okay, come on." Tsurumi Hatsuyun's voice came from all directions.

Shen Yi chuckled and immediately floated towards the direction where her soul left.

This is a nonlinear space. No matter which direction you run, you will end up back where you started. If you play hide-and-seek here, isn't it easy for me, the cat, to find the little mouse, the old witch?
But having said that, how could Tsurumi Hatsuyun dare to play hide-and-seek in the consciousness space without any confidence?
So the result was that Shen Yi went around in a big circle and didn't even see the shadow of He Jianchuyun's soul.

After searching for half an hour, Shen Yi suddenly realized something. He angrily left the consciousness space and turned into a ball of light and appeared in front of He Jianchuyun's body.

"Old witch!"

Tsurumi Hatsuyun, who was meditating, was startled by the sound he made. He slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Give up so soon?" "Yes, I give up!"

"If you give up, you lose, so..."

"So what?"

"Of course you can't eat my soul anymore."

"Hmph!" Shen Yi sneered and used his spiritual sense to check and confirmed that the old witch had set up a soundproof formation. He stopped talking nonsense with her and threw her to the ground on the spot. He then pressed on her soft body and then opened his mouth to bite her white and tender goose neck.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to cheat?"

"Playing tricks? Do you take me for a fool? I knew from the beginning that I couldn't find you!"

"You knew that, but you still agreed?"

"This is called turning the tables!" Shen Yi laughed, and because he was biting the old witch's neck, the sound he made was buzzing.

Just as he said, Shen Yi knew that He Jian Chu Yun would play tricks in the game of hide and seek.

After all, as a contracted beast, the only thing he could do in her consciousness space was to stay there and he couldn't go anywhere.

He didn't know what the old witch's soul could do. Playing hide-and-seek with her soul in her consciousness space?
This in itself is very strange. Her soul is likely to leave the consciousness space directly and go to other places, such as the sea of ​​​​memory in the upper level of the consciousness space.

If I really went to the Sea of ​​Memory, I would never be able to find her even if I turned my consciousness space upside down.

The reason why he agreed was because Shen Yi knew in his heart that the soul was very important to the old witch and she really couldn't eat too much.

And since you can’t eat more, you can only make up for it from other places.

As for how to make up for it?

Of course, it’s just to bully this old witch severely!
But there has to be a reason to bully the old witch, right?
Isn't it a legitimate reason for me to take revenge on her since she played a trick on me?

"You...you get up! It's so heavy!"

"I'm sorry, who told you to trick me? You're playing hide-and-seek with me in my consciousness space. Do you think I don't know that your soul has gone somewhere else?"

"You agreed to play, and now you're cheating because you can't find me!"

"Oh, you admit it? Who said before that I have spiritual awareness and it's unfair to play hide-and-seek outside? So it's fair for you to hide somewhere else and let me look for you in my consciousness space?"

"If you had known this earlier you shouldn't have agreed!"

"You were the one who tricked me first. Tell me! Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, Master, please let me go, you are really too heavy..."

"Now you know how heavy it is? I have to sleep on you today!"

"Stop! I was wrong, really wrong! Please~"

"Don't even think about it, unless... hehehehehe..."

"No, you can't eat my soul anymore, wuwuwu~" Seeing that Shen Yi was about to put forward conditions, the poor old witch began to cry as she spoke.

"Except for eating my soul, I will agree to all other conditions, okay?"

"Really, anything you want?"

"No, no, no, don't take my clothes off, don't be a hooligan!"

"Let me think about it~"

"Can you think faster? You're pressing on me so hard that I can hardly breathe." The girl looked pitifully at the evil dragon pressing on her.

Her weak body bore a weight that she shouldn't have to bear.

But Shen Yi didn't let her wait any longer and quickly put forward his request.

"Well, if you call me daddy, I will get up and let you go."

Upon hearing this request, Tsurumi Hatsuyun was stunned on the spot.

In just a few seconds, she thought about all the strange requests that Shen Yi might make, but she never expected that it would be this request.

Although the word "dad" is not commonly used in this world, she knows that it is also a way to address father, but most of the time it is used for "father-in-law".

Coming back to her senses, she said in shame and anger: "You are going too far!"

"Is it too much? How is it too much? I just want to ask you whether you will scream or not!"

"Stop shouting! Get out of here!"

"If you don't cheer, I'll suppress you all night! But having said that, old witch, your neck tastes so good~"

"Can you...change your request? You are not my father, why should I call you dad?"

"Is it not okay for me to have a daughter? I also want to hear what it feels like when someone calls me dad."

"Asshole!!!"

He Jian Chuyun struggled violently, but Shen Yi's weight was so high and he pressed her so tightly that even though she had broken through the level of consciousness, she was unable to push Shen Yi away.

"Get up, you bastard!"

"No, if you don't yell I will keep pressing you!"

"Wow, you're gonna crush me to death!"

"Shout or not?"

"I'm not your daughter..."

"We are just role-playing. I'm not really asking you to be my daughter."

"But...but..."

"That's it anyway, if you don't scream, just suppress me!"

"What if you crush me to death?"

"You can crush me to death if you want. You wouldn't even give me a bite of my soul. I help you eat red energy every day, and this is how you repay me? You ungrateful bastard! If you weren't an ungrateful bastard, you wouldn't have thrown me to the ground and refused to let me eat my food."

Shen Yi started to bring up old things, and as he spoke he actually felt wronged.

But what he didn't know was that this was a thorn in He Jian Chu Yun's heart. She still remembered the two agreements made on Huangbai Mountain that day.

First, once she has taken revenge, Shen Yi will be free again. Second, once Shen Yi fulfills the contract, he can also be free again without asking for her opinion.

She can control the former. At worst, she can just not take revenge and let Shen Yi stay with her forever. But she cannot control the latter. If one day Shen Yi is determined to leave her, she will not be able to stop him.

It was like a sword hanging over her head, ready to fall at any time. Logically, if she wanted Shen Yi not to leave her, she should handle the relationship between the two parties carefully, but Shen Yi's heartless attitude towards life gradually diluted her sense of crisis, and the thorn became vague.

But now that Shen Yi said this, it was like pulling out a thorn from her heart and then stabbing it back in, immediately attracting her attention.

So when Shen Yi finished speaking, he found that He Jian Chuyun was silent. She stared at him blankly with no expression on her face, but the tears in her eyes betrayed her.

"What...what's wrong with you?"

"You get up first."

"I'm sorry, if you don't call me dad I will..."

"No, if you want to eat the Yuanshen, I'll give it to you. You can eat as much as you want. Don't say anything. I'll give it all to you..."
