Douluo Continent: Contract Goddess, Transforming the Mecha Girl World!

Chapter 22 concludes here!

Chen Shi's words made Xiao Wu feel embarrassed.

The little girl pouted, clasped her hands together, and stubbornly said, "No way, it's clearly punishment!"

Hey, Chen Shi just doesn't believe he can't get rid of your stubbornness today!

Using the stone bench in the courtyard, Chen Shi scooped the little girl up and placed her on his lap: "Then tell me, why did you suddenly throw a tantrum at Aunt Liu's house today for no apparent reason?"

"I... I just don't want Coco... to be bullied by you, you big bad guy, in the future!"

"Alright, alright, then I'm going to go talk to Aunt Liu about the arranged marriage!"

As Chen Shi spoke, he pretended to get up and leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu became anxious: "No, you're not allowed to go!"

"They followed you back not to see you get engaged to someone else!"

The little girl wrapped her arms around Chen Shi's neck, pressing him down with her petite body to prevent him from getting up.

"Oh, why aren't you being stubborn anymore?"

Chen Shi's scheme succeeded, and he revealed a wicked smile.

Knowing she couldn't win, Xiao Wu pouted and said, "Hmph~"

Chen Shi rubbed the little girl's puffed-up cheeks and teased, "Alright, as punishment, you'll be doing all the housework for the next month!"

"A month? That's too long! We agreed to share the responsibility!"

Xiao Wu sat in Chen Shi's lap, twisted her body, and said unhappily.

"Too much? No problem, one kiss reduces your day's worth!"

Chen Shi held up a finger, shamelessly playing the rogue.

Xiao Wu counted on her fingers, did some mental calculations, and couldn't help but say, "One kiss means one less day? Then, does that mean I have to kiss thirty times?"

Chen Shi immediately stated his position: "Well, it's alright. We're all on the principle of voluntariness; we absolutely won't force anyone!"

Xiao Wu looked at him sullenly, weighing in her mind whether kissing him was the better option or enduring the situation.

Chen Shi smiled and put her down, then patted her little bottom: "I'm going to Aunt Liu's house to return the extra living expenses to her. You stay home and behave yourself."

But the boy had only taken a few steps when Xiaowu stopped him again.

Chen Shi turned around and understood the meaning in the little rabbit's eyes, then smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I promise I'm not going to arrange a marriage between our children."

With Chen Shi's assurance, Xiao Wu blushed and let go of his hand, then whispered, "Then come back soon~"

"Okay, go take a nice shower and feel nice, then wait for me in bed~"

Chen Shi teased the little girl one last time, then pushed open the door and left, leaving the shy Xiao Wu standing there lost in thought...

"Knock knock knock~"

Chen Shi knocked gently on the door and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Liu, are you asleep?"

"No, Minoru, come in quickly~"

Liu Ruyan's gentle voice came from inside the house. Chen Shi received the signal and, under the cover of night, "openly" slipped into the beautiful young woman's house.

Upon entering the house, we found that Aunt Liu's family had only lit a few candles. The dim, yellow candlelight flickered, casting a charming glow over the room and the people inside.

"Aunt Liu, is Coco asleep?"

Chen Shi quietly closed the door, staring blankly at Liu Ruyan, who was sitting on the wooden bed with her black hair flowing like a waterfall.

"You guys just left and you went to sleep. Shi, come sit down~"

Aunt Liu's words seemed to have a magical power; Chen Shi's feet unconsciously moved forward, and he sat down next to her.

"How is Xiaowu? Did Auntie upset her?"

Liu Ruyan reached out and hugged Chen Shi, a unique but not overpowering fragrance wafting towards them.

"No, Aunt Liu, Xiao Wu is still a child and doesn't understand things very well. Please don't take it to heart."

Chen Shi felt inexplicably nervous; something seemed off about the atmosphere!

Liu Ruyan seemed to sense Chen Shi's unease and suddenly felt a pang of sadness, saying, "Xiao Shi, have you become so distant with your aunt?"

"No, no, no, Aunt Liu, I came tonight to give you this money."

As Chen Shi spoke, he took out a bag of gold soul coins: "Coco will be growing up soon, and household expenses will increase. Let's keep this money for you in case of emergencies."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan frankly said, "Money is just an external thing. Keke and I are self-sufficient in the village and don't need it. You should take it with you."

Chen Shi wanted to refuse, but Liu Ruyan added, "If you don't accept it, Aunt Liu will get angry!"

There was nothing Chen Shi could do; he knew Aunt Liu's temperament, so he knew he wouldn't be returning the money today.

"Alright, enough of that. Come chat with Aunt Liu about your Soul Master cultivation practices, shall we?"

With a slight exertion of her jade-like hand, Chen Shi leaned against her ample lap as a pillow.

From someone's perspective, it truly is a mountain range that looks different from different angles and distances!

Two towering peaks completely blocked Chen Shi's view, making it impossible for him to see Aunt Liu's face!

Chen Shi subconsciously swallowed. Although he didn't know if Aunt Liu could understand the topic of soul power cultivation, he still went along with her and began to talk.

After a moment of silence, Liu Ruyan asked, "Xiao Shi, your soul power level is now 19. Are you about to acquire your second soul ring?"

"Yes, but my martial soul is a bit special, and this second spirit ring is a bit troublesome."

For some reason, Chen Shi easily lets down his guard in front of Aunt Liu.

According to the characteristics and mechanism of the Goddess Contract, each of his spirit rings should ideally be contracted with people who have extremely high potential talents.

Looking around Notting College, Chen Shi really couldn't find a girl like that; she wasn't pretty enough, nor was she talented enough!

Therefore, Chen Shi's cultivation has indeed encountered a bottleneck. Even though he has a suitable candidate in mind, it is not the right time to make formal contact.

If only there were a way to solve this problem...

"Don't worry, Xiao Shi. There's always a way out. You'll find a solution eventually."

As before, Liu Ruyan reached out and stroked Chen Shi while comforting him.

Chen Shi smiled upon hearing this, hoping so.

Just then, Liu Ruyan suddenly said, "By the way, Xiao Shi, after talking for so long, aren't you thirsty?"

Thirsty? Does being thirsty mean drinking water? Or...?

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his excitement: "Yes, is there any water, Aunt Liu?"

"Oh dear, Aunt Liu forgot to boil water tonight!"

"How about you make do with some milk, Xiaoshi?"

As Liu Ruyan spoke, the right half of her outer garment, along with her bodice, slipped down and even covered Chen Shi's face!

Someone took a deep breath. Yes, it was that familiar milky smell again!

Seeing Chen Shi standing there speechless, Liu Ruyan said with a hint of resentment, "Has Xiao Shi grown tired of Aunt Liu after a year apart?"

"No, how could that be, Aunt Liu!"

Without a second thought, Chen Shi quickly swallowed it and drank it in large gulps!

"Good boy, drink slowly, it's all yours~"

A blush crept onto Liu Ruyan's face as she gazed tenderly at the boy in her arms.

[Anomaly! Extremely high purity, a large amount of concentrated life milk has been detected flowing into the host's body!]

[Life force and soul power rapidly increase; the Great Perfection Life Affinity Body begins to slowly evolve...]

[Evolutionary Direction: Life Affinity Form - Perfection]

【Characteristics: Life force is the foundation of all things; a perfect body can adapt to the fusion and separation of any power, and is enhanced with the effects of the Great Completion stage】

Chen Shi, who was already engrossed in his work, became even more dedicated upon seeing this news!

Halfway through the drink, Chen Shi looked up somewhat embarrassed and asked, "Aunt Liu, should we leave the rest for Coco?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head, a smile playing on her lips: "No need, she's had her fill and is sleeping."

That's all I have to say. Time to drink your milk!

Meanwhile, at Chen Shi's house next door, Xiao Wu had just finished her bath and was lying in bed, her big eyes peeking out, waiting for some big bad guy to come back and pamper her...
