Magical Cat

Given Melina's formidable strength, all Li En can do now is remain calm.

He watched helplessly as Elaine's eyelids grew heavier and heavier under the soothing magic, until she fell into a deep sleep.

Melina helped Elaine lie down on the sofa where they were resting.

When she turned around, her face was beaming with undisguised joy, as if she had finally obtained a rare treasure she had been longing for for years.

"Lee Eun, right?"

"Don't be nervous, Elaine is just asleep, and I didn't mean to hurt you."

Melina's voice was even gentler, but Lee En didn't believe her at all.

At that moment, a small white snake emerged from behind Melina's neck.

The snake was only as thick as a thumb, its scales like warm, white jade, and its obsidian-like eyes stared intently at Li En.

"Kid, you don't need to get angry at us. If you wanted to harm you, you wouldn't need to go to such lengths."

His voice was deep, resonant, and magnetic, filled with a sinister and seductive quality.

Li En's brows furrowed even more.

The small white snake appears to be Melina's magical beast, and it can even communicate with her through magical thoughts.

Moreover, although the white snake was not large, its aura was powerful, like a bottomless abyss, stimulating Li En's senses and making him want to escape from this place as soon as possible.

But Li En did not act rashly.

Not to mention Elaine was asleep on the sofa, completely at the mercy of others, Melina's formidable strength alone was enough to leave Li En helpless.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Li En asked using demonic communication.

"I just wanted to help you," Melina defined herself.

"Eleanor has always been my most promising student. And you, you are a magical beast that should absolutely not be underestimated."

"What exactly is this contract all about?" Li En interrupted her rambling and asked directly.

The contract that Li En and Elaine just completed is highly suspicious.

What kind of contract would allow a magical beast to control a magician?

And now that I think about it, the name of the contract doesn't seem quite right either.

Dragon Lord's Covenant: What is the Dragon Lord?

He's a cat, Elaine is a human, so how did they get involved with a dragon?

"I was quite surprised that you were able to notice the unusual nature of the contract so quickly."

This proves that you are not only exceptionally talented, but also have an extremely high compatibility with Elaine. Have you built such a deep bond in just a few days?

Melina looked puzzled as she said this.

Li En seemed to realize something.

This is likely related to his talent for upgrading contracts.

It's likely that this contract wouldn't be able to allow the magical beast to directly control the mage from the start.

But after the upgrade, Li En directly gained this ability.

Thinking about it now, that ability is rather frightening.

Melina pondered for a moment, and seeing that Li En was still wary of her, she smiled and waved, deciding to think about the matter later.

But in hindsight, she really made the right bet this time.

Elaine and Li En are undoubtedly a perfect fit for this contract, which is a great thing for Melina.

In contrast to Melina's good mood, Lee Eun was extremely anxious.

He originally had a good impression of Melina, but who would have thought she was abnormal.

Would an ordinary person come up with such an unusual contract?

"Could he be Frankenstein's monster from the magical world?"

Lee En couldn't help but swallow hard, and began to imagine himself and Elaine being locked up by the other party and subjected to all sorts of horrific experiments.

But as Melina's magical beast said, if they really wanted to do something, given the absolute difference in strength, Li En and Elaine would have no power to resist.

At this moment, the small white snake that was coiled around Melina's neck slowly slithered down her body and climbed onto the desk to observe Li En up close.

Li En was so frightened that her whole body tensed up, her hair stood on end, and it looked very fluffy.

The white snake was very dangerous; this judgment stemmed from Li En's instinct.

"Her name is Luna, and I believe you two will become good friends." Melina smiled warmly, her cheeks flushed, as if she were watching the first meeting of two adorable children, which excited her greatly.

Melina usually acts all serious, but when no one's around, she's a total psychopath.

And with such a deep and resonant voice, is the little white snake actually a female snake?

"A stunningly beautiful older sister with a husky voice, right?!"

Luna circled around Li En, scrutinizing him closely from head to toe.

"Wood attribute, that's rather unique," Luna casually remarked.

After initial discomfort at Luna's approach, Lee En gradually discovered that the magic within him was becoming active, suggesting that they were compatible in terms of attributes.

But Li En still dared not make any rash moves, as he really couldn't figure out what the man and snake in front of him wanted to do.

After tricking him into making this strange contract with Elaine, there seemed to be no further plans.

After watching Luna and Lee Eun's interaction for a while, Melina remembered her business.

"You don't need to worry about the contract; it will absolutely not cause any harm. In fact, it will be a great benefit to you," Melina winked at Li En, smiling broadly.

"Li En, I only ask one thing of you: keep the contract a secret. You must not even tell Elaine."

Otherwise, revealing the secret of the contract will only bring you enormous trouble. Not only will you be unable to stay at the Royal Magic Academy, but you will also drag Elaine's family down with you.

Melina seemed to be stating a fact, without any hint of threat.

But Li En understood that this was a threat.

However, the situation doesn't seem too bad right now; at least it's not like Li En imagined that they would be locked up and experimented on.

He and Elaine seem to be able to maintain a certain degree of freedom at the Royal Academy of Magic.

This means there's still a chance to maneuver.

Li En's eyes darted around, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"From now on, your safety and Elaine's safety depend entirely on whether you can keep this secret."

"Little one, did you understand?"

Li En immediately nodded obediently.

"Very good, very good."

Melina reached out and patted Lee's head.

Luna took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Melina's neck again.

Li En obediently lowered his head, letting Melina caress him at will.

Go ahead and touch him, just don't mess with him and Elaine.

The cat, under the eaves, had no choice but to bow its head.

Seeing that Li En seemed to have understood the situation and was behaving so obediently, Melina nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, as long as you keep this a secret, I will take good care of you at the academy."

This is a good thing for your Elaine, isn't it?

As she spoke, Melina took out a booklet from somewhere and handed it to Li En.

"Consider this a small gift as an apology for startling you today. I hope we can get along well in the future."

Li En looked closely and noticed a line of text written on the simple gray cover.
