Go back? There's no going back.

Facing the increasingly dangerous gaze of the King of Loulan, Krenna remained calm and asked with a smile.

"...!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the two people following behind the King of Loulan became tense and looked unfriendly.

However, before they could react, the huge free elements in the air suddenly gathered together, covering the courtyard like a sky curtain, suppressing the three people from all directions.

The air in the entire courtyard froze in an instant.

***

"……Um?"

Suddenly, he felt something pulling on his face, and in a daze, Su Wei slowly opened his eyes.

A pure white shrouded his vision, but when his pupils regained focus and he could vaguely see the scenery in front of him, the pure white figure that woke him up from his sleep had already retreated to a farther position.

"Fox Fairy... Sir?"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Su Wei sat up from the bed: "Welcome back."

I subconsciously turned my head to look behind me, and the scene outside the window had become completely dark.

It seems like I slept for quite a long time?

Realizing this, Su Wei looked at the Fox Fairy in front of him again.

At this moment, the several snow-white furry tails behind the other party were shaking slightly.

The expression on his original face... looked a little uneasy.

"Are you...ready to use that Holy Spirit Medicine?"

Looking at this scene, Su Wei quickly realized this.

Under his gaze, the fox fairy nodded slightly.

"...I understand. No one should disturb us here. I will keep watch outside the door for you."

Seeing this, Su Wei stood up.

Although he was not sure what reaction the Fox Fairy would have after taking the medicine, he judged that at this time, if he, an outsider, left the room first, it should make the other party calmer and more composed.

However, the next second, a notebook fluttered in front of Su Wei and stopped him.

"Well, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me directly."

Seeing this scene, Su Wei was stunned.

After realizing that Lord Fox Fairy seemed to have something else to say to him, he immediately said this.

"..."

After hearing him speak like this, the fox fairy in front of him pursed his lips, a little uneasily, and took out a scroll from his arms.

Ok?

Seeing this scene, Su Wei blinked, looking confused.

If he remembered correctly... this thing seemed to be——

"It's... a contract."

The pencil floating in the air moved for a while, and finally, the answer that was consistent with the one in Su Wei's mind emerged.

"Including this, the total of 70 silver coins in your wallet were spent..."

Having written this, the fox fairy took two steps closer, handed the small black beads and the contract in his hand to Su Wei, then quickly stepped back and added in the notebook: "I can't find a cheaper one... Sorry."

"No, so, money is something outside of your body, you can use it if you want, no need to apologize, just take it."

Although he was somewhat speechless about the uneasy look of the Fox Fairy, Su Wei still looked down at the small black beads in his hand and subconsciously asked: "But why did you buy these things?"

"The process of separating the powers...will take a while."

"During this time, I will also fall asleep..."

"So... I want to find a place where I won't be disturbed..."

Looking at the three lines of words written intermittently in the notebook with a hesitant pencil, Su Wei quickly understood everything.

It turned out to be the case.

If the situation is really as the Fox Fairy said, I will need to enter a hibernation-like state after using the Holy Spirit Medicine this time.

Well, in the meantime, it is indeed a good idea to sign a contract with others temporarily and hide them in the Poké Balls that were originally used to store Beast Tamers... no, in the Beast Tamer equipment space.

The empire's current beast taming contract is very broad. Not to mention whether the fox fairy's race is human, even if two humans want to sign a contract with each other... they can succeed.

Once the contract is established, the Beast Tamer is equivalent to obtaining a key, which allows him to enter and live in the Beast Tamer equipment corresponding to the contract for a long time.

During this period, as the controller, you only need to inject magic power and mental power into the equipment every day to maintain the stability of the equipment, and no major problems will occur.

However, after figuring this out, Su Wei suddenly felt a little confused.

It's not that there are no purely mobile space cabins in this world. Although they are a little more expensive,... they can also save you the troublesome process of signing a contract.

Why didn’t Master Fox choose that one directly?

Thinking of this, Su Wei subconsciously spread out the contract in his hand and read it carefully.

Then, the expression on Su Wei's face... gradually began to change.

Not long after, after reading the contract word for word, his face had become as black as charcoal.

...your mother's.

What the hell is this black triangle trade contract?

Even Su Wei, who had not known much about beast taming before, could see that the various regulations stipulated in this contract were almost enough to squeeze out all the beast rights of the beast tamer.

It can be said that as long as the beast tamer signs this contract, then... his life from now on is almost over.

Bloodsucking, exploitation, and even the freedom of life will be deprived.

Taming beasts, taming beasts, humans and beasts need to support each other and grow together.

Any Beastmaster with a little intelligence would not even give a second glance at this one-sided and unequal contract.

This smart man...where did he pick up this garbage from?

No wonder it’s only 70 silver coins, not even a dog would use it.

"...Excuse me, Master Fox Fairy, I remember that contracts are sold in many beast taming shops. Can I ask why...you chose this thing?"

Su Wei's face darkened and he looked at the other person in surprise.

"This is... the cheapest among the several stores."

As if slightly frightened by Su Wei's reaction at this moment, the fox fairy carefully used the notebook to block his eyes: "Moreover, it is also the only contract that will not consume the other person's mental energy during its validity period."

"That's true. You've done all the dirty work."

Hearing this, Su Wei's face became a little stiff.

He finally realized why the fox fairy in front of him chose this thing.

So you just don't want to add more burden to him?

"No, change it. Let's go together to choose a better one tomorrow."

Su Wei refused without thinking.

Just kidding, if he were asked to sign such an inhumane thing with his savior, he would rather chop off his own unruly hand first.

"No, I remember that my current money should be enough to buy a mobile space cabin directly. In this way, I can skip the step of canceling the connection contract and don't have to worry about the backlash after the cancellation..."

Frowning, Su Wei began to try hard to recall in his mind the price of the cottage that he had glimpsed before, which was once considered a luxury item among the people.

"..."

But for some reason, after being rejected without hesitation by Su Wei, the fox fairy in front of him fell silent for a moment.

"I think... this is good."

A few seconds passed, and with a "pop", the notebook that was floating above Su Wei's head suddenly fell from the sky, covering Su Wei's eyes and bringing him back to reality from his deep thought.

Coming back to his senses, Su Wei took down the notebook above his head and looked at the words on it with a look of surprise on his face.

"...Master Fox Fairy, are you crazy?"

Subconsciously looking at the other party, Su Wei opened his eyes wide and stared at the latter as if he was looking at a monster: "If you sign this, you will almost become a blood transfusion pump, and when you wake up and terminate the contract, the backlash will all be borne by you. Can you please wake up a little?"

"..."

However, in the face of Su Wei's reminder, the Fox Fairy just said nothing, slightly puffed up his cheeks, and stared at him with extremely stubborn eyes.

"Use this."

"…Please think about it again."

"That's it."

"think."

"…No."

"..."

Looking at the word "no" one after another on the notebook, Su Wei was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but wave away the notebook fluttering in front of him.

He turned his head and made eye contact with the idiot fox who looked unmoved.

At this moment, Su Wei finally became a little anxious.

"No, just because you want me to suffer less, you're doing this to yourself?"

He just felt a nameless anger rising up in his heart, and even his brain was a little hot at this moment: "There is something I wanted to say before, your problem is no longer a question of whether you are socially phobic or not-"

"Please, at least a little bit, why can't you love yourself a little bit——"

The tone became more urgent.

However, when the last sentence came out of his mouth without thinking, the expression on Su Wei's face suddenly froze.

"..."

……

Eh?

Chapter 40: You are always the first choice (5.3k)

...Ah?

……

In an instant, all the memories of parting with the princess during the day suddenly resurfaced in his mind.

The expression on Su Wei's face also froze bit by bit.

He stood there in a daze.

The scenery before my eyes seemed to be distorted in an instant. In a trance, the fox fairy in front of me with a stubborn face...actually overlapped with myself at that time little by little.

Cardiac arrest.

Su Wei suddenly felt unwell.

It was only then that he realized something.

——So, did I look like someone who needed a lesson back then?

It's really a pity that the princess could resist the urge to open her own crown——

At this moment, the expression on his face became more solemn, and Su Wei...suddenly felt that he had figured out something.

Today's princess may not be sentimental.

She was just too gentle and couldn't bear to see this ignorant guy of hers mistreating herself again -

...She was clearly thinking of me, but I didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, I got stuck in a dead end again.

If it weren't for the fox fairy in front of him who made him realize the importance of empathy, he would not have taken the princess's reminder seriously until now...

He slightly opened his eyes. At this moment, in Su Wei's mind, the princess's face with her lips tightly pursed and a look of self-blame and disappointment became clearer and clearer...
