Unable to find a way to get out without destroying the barrier, Sang immediately jumped up and down in the room like a mad monkey without saying a word. However, what made her depressed was that the barrier obviously did not just block the door, but completely sealed off everything from top to bottom, including the doors, windows, roof and even the ground. This made Sang even more depressed and she kept sharpening her claws but there was nothing she could do.
As this situation continued, Sang's originally impatient personality began to grow increasingly violent... At this moment, the barrier that had been as immovable as a mountain suddenly began to ripple like water waves. The next second, before Sang could come to his senses, a familiar figure rushed in, accompanied by a familiar and hurried voice:
"mulberry!"
Upon learning that Sang had woken up, Yu Huan was no longer in the mood to talk about the contract with the Beast King. She rushed back almost non-stop. The first thing she saw after entering the house was the empty bed. Before Yu Huan could show any anxious expression, a black shadow pounced towards her the next second.
"Ah woo~~"
His fists, which had been clenched in defense, relaxed instantly, and he stretched out his hands to decisively catch the figure that was rushing towards him. The next second, a small head with long black hair buried itself in his chest and rubbed against it fiercely.
“Ahhh~Ahhhhhhh~~”
Voices full of affection and coquettishness kept coming out of Sang's mouth, which immediately eased Yu Huan's worried expression. After being stunned for a moment, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he reached out his hand and gently stroked Sang's soft long hair, smiling without saying a word.
'system! ’
The light screen instantly appeared before his eyes. This time, without Yu Huan asking, the system's voice rang out:
"All tissues and organs in the body are normal, the soul is pulsating normally, the energy is flowing normally, and the Amazon active cells have no adverse reactions."
'Test results: Everything is normal!'
After receiving the answer from the system, Yu Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Putting aside other things, at least Sang was fine now, which made her relax a lot instantly. Of course, Sang seemed to be fine at this time, which obviously did not prove that there would be no problems in the future, but at least for Yu Huan, she could rest assured for the time being. As for the future... at least Yu Huan would be able to contact Tian Ling at that time, and then at least she would not need to worry!
"It's all right, it's all right..."
"Uh-huh?"
The little head raised doubtfully, its innocent eyes looking at Yu Huan, who looked relieved, with a hint of confusion. In return, Yu Huan rolled his eyes... Well, I'm worried about everything here, but I don't know anything at all. This is really...
"It's okay. Are you hungry after waking up?"
She asked gently like a real sister, and Sang nodded decisively without thinking. After the battle, she had a good sleep. When she woke up, she jumped up and down for a long time trying to get out. It was obvious that Sang was starving at this time. Yu Huan naturally did not hesitate and immediately pulled Sang towards the door.
"Ah woo~~"
However, who knew that just as he reached the door, Sang suddenly stopped, and then under Yu Huan's puzzled gaze, he cautiously touched the door, as if to confirm something. Yu Huan was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately.
"Don't worry, I've already put away the barrier, so don't worry and go!"
The purpose of the perception barrier she set up on her terminal was to prevent Sang from being disturbed while resting. It was originally intended to protect Sang, but she never expected that Sang would suddenly wake up, which made Yu Huan a little careless. Therefore, she had decisively removed it as soon as she came in.
"Uh-huh?"
Since her sister said that it had been put away, Sang naturally had no doubts. After carefully reaching out her hand to check again, Sang, who was sure that the annoying barrier was no longer in front of her, rushed out in a trance, followed by a burst of excited shouts.
"Haha~~"
Seeing this, Yu Huan also smiled slightly, and then hurriedly followed Sang out.
"Sang, slow down!"
Because of the return of the Beast King, the Beast King Palace seemed to have regained its former rule at this moment. The Beast King Guards led by Bai Luo busied themselves in the post-disaster reconstruction of Beast King City. After all, in order to deal with those priests and so on, they had just fought a fierce battle with the entire Beast King City as the battlefield. Naturally, they needed to clean up all of this now, and then... welcome the Beast King to the throne!
Of course, that was a story for later. At least in the current situation, all they could do was to organize the order of the Beast King's Palace according to the Beast King's instructions, and then welcome Yu Huan and others into the palace as guests of the highest standard... In fact, even if she didn't say it, Bai Luo also planned to do so. After all, as an insider, he knew very well who was responsible for the Beast King's return, and Bai Luo himself was not an ungrateful person.
After all, Yu Huan was once my master for a period of time.
80·You seem to look down on me?
“Ahhhhhhhhhh~~”
Don't get me wrong, this is not the sound of Sang talking, but the sound of her eating meat!
At this time, Yu Huan was sitting with Sang in a hall of the Beast King Palace. The huge table in front of them was filled with various meats for them to eat. At the same time, there were other guests from the Beast King Palace on the other side of the stone table: yes, it was Yanshi who was also eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, and Kuanglong who was much more reserved in comparison.
After receiving the invitation from the Beast King, and considering that the four of them were the benefactors who saved the Beast King, they were undoubtedly welcomed by Bai Luo with the highest standard of guest treatment. Not long after the meal, the Beast King, who was no longer dressed simply as before, but was dressed in a luxurious animal skin long skirt, slowly walked out.
"Everyone...does the food suit your taste?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke in such a friendly tone, and immediately Yanshi and Sang nodded vigorously without hesitation. On the contrary, Yuhuan and Kuanglong beside them nodded politely in response, as if they were parents with naughty children.
The Beast King didn't care too much about this. He walked over slowly and gracefully, and when he slowly sat down on the main seat at the stone table, he immediately looked at Yu Huan and Kuang Long, who had stopped eating and focused their attention on her. After a pause, she looked at Kuang Long and nodded slightly, then turned her head to look at Yu Huan. As their eyes met, she slowly said:
"I understand that the four of you are here for me... for the Beast King. Before I touched upon the inheritance, I once followed Yanshi and Kuanglong for a period of time, so I have a pretty good idea of their intentions. Now, may I ask my savior, little sister, what is your purpose in coming here to find me?"
She got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth. It was obvious that the Beast King had learned a lot of things she didn't know before by following Yanshi for a period of time, including another world and various magical things. What concerned her most was undoubtedly the purpose of Yanshi and Kuanglong coming to find her: just as they called themselves "companions", the two of them were undoubtedly representing "Mirror" to invite her to join.
It was obvious that Yan Shi and the other two had no intention of hiding this. They even told her everything about Jing that did not involve confidentiality, and then gave her the right to choose. Everything basically showed their sincerity.
However, compared to the fact that she knew everything about them, the Beast King obviously had no information about Yu Huan at all... The only thing she knew was that Yu Huan came for her and that she learned from Yan Shi that he was from the same world as them. Apart from that, when obtaining the inheritance, the two sides had a battle, a battle with themselves as the stakes, and the result was that Yu Huan won and also gained the right to be "herself".
Honestly, the Beast King, a king who had awakened the memories of his ancestors, was clearly not very comfortable with this situation. After all, being treated as a trading item wouldn't be comfortable for anyone. However, both parties were, in a sense, his saviors, so the Beast King naturally wouldn't show this slight discomfort. Moreover...
He glanced obscurely at Sang, who was still feasting. If her previous impression was just an illusion, then it was obvious that the Beast King had basically confirmed the other party's identity. Although it seemed a little incredible or even shocking, the throbbing in his heart was obviously not fake. That person was indeed...
"Me? Well, my purpose is actually very simple!"
Unaware of the Beast King's subtle observation of Sang, Yu Huan, who had previously hastily planned to sign a contract with him, now paused. She didn't mince words in response to the Beast King's direct question. With a flip of her hand, a blank card box appeared in her hand. She then slowly pulled out a card with a snowflake on the back and a ball of pure white light on the front, and presented it to the Beast King.
"I want to sign a contract with you, making you my partner and my strength!"
Without any twists and turns, he directly stated his purpose, or rather, his purpose. As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huan clearly saw the gentle smile on the corner of the Beast King's mouth froze for a moment, and then he continued to smile as if nothing had happened and looked curiously at the card in Yu Huan's hand:
"Oh, then I wonder what the advantages and disadvantages will be for me after signing the contract?"
The Beast King is the Beast King after all. It is obviously impossible for him to repay the life-saving favor with gratitude and then agree to sign a contract with Yu Huan without asking any questions. Yu Huan had obviously been mentally prepared for this. However, despite this, when he heard the other party directly asking about the pros and cons, he was still slightly stunned. The next second, the words that were about to come out of his mouth seemed to be stuck in his throat. Then Yu Huan's expression gradually faded and he just looked at the Beast King in front of him.
At first, Yu Huan didn't do anything rude because she thought the other party was her future partner. However, now she feels that it is better to be a little rude at times. So with this in mind, Yu Huan blinked slightly and looked at the back of the Beast King...!
Crisscrossing lines emerged behind her, but they were no longer the transparent, crystal-like pure colors of the innocent white-haired girl before. Instead, they were like dye vats containing lines of various complex colors, crisscrossing behind her. While observing these complex lines, Yu Huan also began to analyze the other party's current psychology according to her understanding of the colors of the lines. Then, about a minute later, she got the answer!
"...You don't intend to sign a contract with me, do you?"
There was no questioning, no doubt, as if the words had already been confirmed, just came out of Yu Huan's mouth. However, these light words instantly made the Beast King's expression, which was originally smiling, freeze slightly.
"Uh, my lifesaver, little sister..."
"I'm not your savior. It was Yanshi and Kuanglong who saved you. You should be very clear about this!"
Perhaps because he noticed the other party's change of mood, Yu Huan's expression was obviously much colder than before. He interrupted the Beast King directly. Although seeing through the threads of emotion is not a supernatural ability like reading minds, Yu Huan could roughly guess the other party's intentions from the lines:
"It seems like you're planning to accept Yanshi and the others' invitation and choose to give up on me!"
Another sudden remark came out. This time, not to mention the Beast King, even the Flame Lion and the Mad Dragon who were eating and drinking heartily stopped what they were doing at some point, and turned their gazes to look at Yu Huan. How to describe the look in their eyes... there was a kind of embarrassment and apology as if they had accidentally stolen someone else's girl.
81. Failure and Modification of Tasks
Yanshi has never denied that he is a bad guy. As a member of the Mirror Organization, although he has various reasons, he has done a lot of bad things and he obviously has a very clear self-awareness in his heart.
But even if he is a bad guy, he still has to have the principles of a bad guy... This has always been the image that Yanshi has set for himself, and it is also the only thing that Kuanglong recognizes him for.
However, today, Yanshi felt that his principle had been greatly challenged. Although this matter was not strictly speaking his problem, it was undoubtedly indirectly related to him.
And here’s the thing…
In fact, as early as when they just came to this world, because of the clues given by the saint, the two of them directly found the young beast king (the white-haired girl) who had lost his memory and even his self because of the loss of his inheritance. Then, after a period of deception by Yanshi and his promise to help her regain her memory (inheritance), the girl fought for them as their spokesperson in this world.
The goal of Yanshi and Kuanglong is very simple: to kill the invaders of this world, and then retrieve the inheritance crystal for the Beast King. After the Beast King obtains the inheritance and recovers his memory, the two will invite him to join the Mirror Organization... Originally, everything was planned this way, but even if it is an invitation, then at least it is necessary to wait until the other party has integrated the inheritance crystal. After all, without the inheritance crystal, the white-haired girl is basically equivalent to a puppet without consciousness, and whatever you say will be useless.
Then everything should have gone according to plan. The white-haired girl represented Yan Shi and the others in the Beast King Challenge. After going through various things, they finally succeeded in fusing the Beast King Crystal. After that, they only had to wait for success and then send out an invitation. As for whether the other party agreed or not, to be honest, the powerful Mirror Organization really didn't need to care about it.
After all, even the Saint Lady had said before that "I won't force it", so Yan Shi and the others only held a half-hearted attitude.
And it was precisely because of this that Yanshi agreed to fight with Yuhuan so casually and gave up his mission goal at will; and after the failure, it was obvious that Yanshi was not a villain who did not keep his word, so he decisively gave up the preparation to recruit the Beast King... After all, putting aside the fact that Yuhuan got along well with him, this was also the right of the other party as a strong man to win it back with his own ability.
However, what Yanshi never expected was that he and Kuanglong had no problem giving up the Beast King, and the same was even more true for Yuhuan. However, at the critical moment, a problem arose in a place no one expected, that is, the Beast King's side.
After regaining her memory and wisdom as a Beast King, it is obvious that this Beast King woman has undergone a tremendous transformation from the original white-haired girl. The most important point is that she has her own mind.
As for her thoughts, they are very simple... After learning from Yanshi that this world would be invaded, experiencing this incident personally, and knowing the existence of multiple dimensions, the Beast King's horizons have undoubtedly been greatly broadened, and she also clearly understands her own weakness. In this case, if she wants to protect her own world or even... go further, then she must have a strong ally or backer.
From all indications, it is clear that Yu Huan acted alone, and there might not even be any powerful force behind him. On the contrary, Yan Shi and the others have a person who can freely travel through various worlds. He is said to be a terrorist, but he may be a powerful force.
In comparison, the Beast King naturally had some thoughts in his mind.
Of course, the Beast King would obviously not really show such calculations. Although she originally thought that she could not please both sides, at least she did not intend to ignore Yu Huan. After all, apart from other things, even if he was alone, it was obvious that Yu Huan would become a strong man in the future based on his strength and potential. In this case, the Beast King would naturally not let go or offend such a talent easily.
Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity during the three-party conversation, but she never thought that Yu Huan's purpose was not to recruit her, but to make a contract with her... Let's not talk about the content of the contract, but for her, the Beast King, to make a contract with a human, even if the other party is her savior, it is obviously impossible to say that she has no resistance in her heart. In comparison, Yan Shi and others who only want to recruit her made the Beast King want to get closer to them even more.
It's natural if you think about it. On one hand, they intend to recruit you as an accomplice, while on the other hand, they intend to sign a contract with them directly. Regardless of the content of the contract, once the contract is signed, you will undoubtedly have to pay something, and these things are obviously not what the Beast King wants to give up.
Asked about the contract... When the Beast King said this, he was actually ready to reject Yu Huan. Of course, it was not a decisive rejection, but a polite refusal... However, who would have thought that Yu Huan was the first to see through her thoughts, and then directly brought up the matter without giving her any face, which made the Beast King reveal a trace of embarrassment.
After all, he was still the Beast King, even if the other party was his savior...
"Ha~~"
An inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Yu Huan's mouth. Almost at the moment when this thought suddenly flashed through the Beast King's mind, Yu Huan also decisively gave up the idea of signing a contract with the other party.
Yu Huan is a person who has been resurrected from the dead. She is very open-minded about everything. Even if it is to improve her own strength or participate in the freshman competition, it is purely out of interest. To put it bluntly, Yu Huan does everything without considering the surrounding situation at all, but acts completely according to her heart. When she felt a hint of dislike from the Beast King towards her, Yu Huan naturally would not have any idea of a contract with the other party.
The reason why companions are companions is because of the tacit understanding between the two parties and the bond behind them. Cooperation with doubt is just cooperation and can never be regarded as a bond. Therefore, when Yu Huan saw all this, he made a decision in his heart instantly!
"Buzz~~"
Almost at the moment when Yu Huan had just formed some thoughts in her mind, something strange happened: without any warning, the system bushes suddenly opened, and the light blue screen switched to the task interface without Yu Huan's permission. At first, Yu Huan was confused and didn't know what was going on. However, when she saw the task of signing a contract with the Beast King, her expression froze slightly. At the same time, the cold electronic sound from the system also rang in Yu Huan's ears:
"... Ding~ The system task has been confirmed to be changed. Please confirm whether to give up!"
"Uh... what? What the hell is going on with the mission changes?!"
What's going on? Can tasks be changed instantly?!
82. World Quest (revised)!
'World Quest: The First Call!'
'Mission Objective: Find the Savage Beast King in the Desolate Forest Plane and use the (Dragon Rider) Card Box to sign a contract with him!'
'Mission requirements: Seal all system abilities and randomly draw a Kamen Rider & Magical Girl Transformer 1 for the owner. Unseal after mission completion (failure)!'
'Mission deadline: three months!'
Mission Rewards: 1 Origin Fragment, 1 Dragon Knight Contract Card Box Voice Changer; Title: Upgrade from 'Scavenger' to 'Ranger', Spirit Coins: 100000, then draw a Kamen Rider & Magical Girl Voice Changer and it will belong to the owner!
'Penalty for mission failure: World mission enters cooldown (three months), Arashiyama plane is permanently closed, (Dragon Rider) contract card box automatically decomposes; random Magical Girl & Kamen Rider transformation device is retrieved; Spirit Coins deducted: 50000!'
This was the task that the system gave Yu Huan when he first came to this world. The task objective was clear: he needed to sign a contract with the Beast King and treat him as the transformation contractor of his Dragon Knight Card Box, and then the task would be completed.
As for this mission, Yu Huan, who came to this world in a daze, obviously did not pay much attention to it. The eight words "if I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, I'm doomed" are enough to describe her mood.
As for the so-called contracted beast king, it is certainly good to be able to make a contract with him. After all, it will not only increase Yu Huan's strength, but also increase one of his favorite transformation items. However, this does not mean that this so-called dragon rider is an indispensable existence for Yu Huan.
Similar to Yanshi and others, Yuhuan did not have any determination to win the Beast King. He just regarded it as a normal task. Although he also had the idea of not admitting defeat, he had a nonchalant attitude towards the task itself.
Although Yu Huan had won the competition with Yan Shi, after seeing the Beast King's choice, Yu Huan suddenly lost all thoughts of signing a contract with the Beast King.
She doesn't like complexity and calculations. Although she knows that as long as she lives in this world, she will inevitably be exposed to these things, but that is ultimately only for the outside world. When she returns home, what Yu Huan hopes for her partners, family, and friends is that everyone can live in harmony with each other.
Although not everyone can be honest with each other, at least the interactions between family and friends obviously do not require so much care and calculation, and there is no need to use this intangible thing called friendship and family affection to measure any value in one's heart. This is undoubtedly the most annoying thing for Yu Huan.
People who cannot become family members or companions, even if they are forced to be together because of a mission, will eventually leave a deep rift. Although Yu Huan, who has never been to school, does not understand any big principles, her mind is very simple because of this.
"I don't like this Beast King, so I don't want to sign the contract!"
It was such a simple idea. Even if there would be punishment measures if the mission failed, Yu Huan did not mind at all and made his own choice. The system naturally would not have any objection to this. After all, the system itself existed for Yu Huan. Once Yu Huan made up his mind, the system would undoubtedly only express unconditional obedience.
Of course, if the upgraded system is still there, it might try to dissuade Yu Huan, after all, it is for her own good, but it is only a slight dissuasion. The system will undoubtedly support Yu Huan's decision regardless of whether it is right or wrong!
Of course, support is support, and although it is indeed Yu Huan's choice to give up the mission and fail the mission, it is obvious that the system does not want its master to suffer such punishment. Therefore, almost as soon as Yu Huan had such an idea in his mind, the very wonderful system did not directly give up the mission for him, but instead changed the task.
This sudden wave of operations undoubtedly made Yu Huan look confused for a moment, but when she saw the new task, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
"System, you are truly my most caring little cotton-padded jacket~~"
'World Quest (revised): The First Call!'
'Mission Objective: Find the being with the power of the Beast King in the Desolate Forest Plane and use the (Dragon Rider) Card Box to sign a contract with it!'
'Mission requirements: Seal all system abilities and randomly draw a Kamen Rider & Magical Girl Transformer 1 for the owner. Unseal after mission completion (failure)!'
'Task time limit: one month!'
Mission Rewards: 1 Origin Fragment, 1 Dragon Knight Contract Card Box (Modified), 1 Transformer; Title: Upgrade from 'Scavenger' to 'Ranger', Spirit Coins: 100000, a randomly drawn Kamen Rider & Magical Girl Voice Changer will belong to the owner... Additional Reward: Book of the Ranger!
'Penalty for mission failure: World mission enters cooldown (one year), Arashiyama plane is permanently closed, (Dragon Rider) contract card box automatically decomposes (permanently cancels acquisition); random Magical Girl & Kamen Rider transformation device is retrieved; Spirit Coins deducted: 100000!'
Who said that all systems were always full of pitfalls? Who said that systems would always betray their owners? Look, look! At that moment, Yu Huan just wanted to let those writers of system stories from his previous life, who only imagined them in books... take a good look at how caring their own systems were to him!
Even during the upgrade, the task was directly changed to avoid failure. Although the task penalty seemed to have doubled, the task conditions were undoubtedly relaxed by dozens of times.
