The Eternal System
System 27: Conversation with Ying Yue II
After the situation became normal, Li Chen looked like he was exhausted from responding to Ying Yue who was so aggressive as well as her two younger siblings.
On the other hand, Ying Yue looked so calm as she drank her tea. Yaoyao was still behaving similarly to her sparkling eyes as if she could not wait to have a soft-haired new friend. While Li Jia was still pouting with both hands folded in front of her chest.
Li Chen who was in the middle of the awkward situation also tried to open the conversation first.
“U-um... Miss Ying Yue?” call Li Chen
“Hm? What's up?” sahut Ying Yue while putting the cup
“Related with special permission to Shenmi forest. You said that we who go in there can make them our friends. What is included as a contract?” ask Li Chen
“Of course. If you have the ability, then those who are allowed to enter the Shenmi forest have the right to make a contract with the mystical animals that are there” Ying Yue replied
Li Chen who heard the answer lowered his head and thought. If he could make a contract with a high-level mystical beast, then of course his abilities would skyrocket high.
When she thought about it, Ying Yue suddenly resumed her words.
“But, you should know one thing”
His words made all eyes turn towards him. Especially Li Chen who was thinking of being heard something like a condition that would come out of Ying Yue's mouth.
“If you fail, no one will save you if the mystical animal goes berserk”
The gaze of Ying Yue's eyes turned cold and sharp as if not toying with her words back then. How not? It has to do with life as well as mystical animals. No one knew how powerful they were before seeing it, and even a mystical beast of a level like Haishe in Sheng's debt alone could crush Feng city with ease.
What if there was a mystical beast of a higher level? That is, the level of danger and risk taken to make the contract will be even greater.
Li Chen who thought about it also felt reasonable. In that cultivation world, those who are strong will survive. If they were weak, then they would either die or become the insulting material like he used to be when his meridians froze.
Soon, Ying Yue who had finished her tea put it on the table. He stood up slowly from his sitting position.
“Alright, I think I've been here too long. I still have a lot of work in the academy” said Ying Yue
Li Chen along with his two younger siblings immediately stood up to escort Ying Yue home.
“Thank you, Miss Ying Yue. Already bothered coming here!” li Chen said while looking down respectfully
“Sama-sama. You guys don't stop practicing. I will wait for you another month in the Liliang” academy Ying Yue said
“Good!” li Chen, Li Jia and Yaoyao
Instead of turning around, Ying Yue instead walked forward approaching towards Li Chen who was still bowing.
“Ah, I almost forgot...”.
His voice made Li Chen raise his body as well as his head. And when she looked forward, Ying Yue's pointy index finger was already right around her neck and shifted to her chin.
His face slowly drew closer and put on a seductive smile right in front of him.
“E-eh?! N-miss Ying Yue?!” li Chen said with a flushed face
Li Chen as a man was certainly not strong enough to resist the beauty and also the seductive nature of Ying Yue. But, he tried his hardest and turned his face red in shame.
“Ba-fine! I understand, Brother Yue!” li Chen's
The two eyes of Li Jia who saw that instantly widened and also her mouth opened strongly as if in disbelief. His face flushed in embarrassment with a feeling of annoyance because of Ying Yue Yang's attitude that kept on teasing Li Chen.
On the other hand, Ying Yue also removed her finger from Li Chen's chin and walked back to the exit.
“Then, excuse me.” said Ying Yue
Ying Yue walked out by leaving an overwhelming impression among the three of them. Especially Li Chen who had repeatedly gotten the temptation of someone so beautiful and also great like Ying Yue, naturally he was speechless.
Li Chen simply stroked the chin that was previously stroked by Ying Yue's index finger as if in disbelief.
Li Jia who saw Li Chen stroking his chin became even more upset. Suddenly only….
“Basic sister bawdy!” grumbled Li Jia while throwing his face away
The words entered his ears and made Li Chen surprised. He turned to his sister and saw her who was throwing her face away and walking away leaving her just like that.
“Hah? Wait, Li Jia! What's wrong sister?!” asked Li Chen who was astonished
However, Li Jia then left him. Not the slightest bit of pulling his gaze back to back as if completely angry at him.
“What's with the kid?” muttered Li Chen while scratching the back of his head
When Li Chen was confused, suddenly Yaoyao said goodbye to him.
“Ah yes sis, I want to see mom first. Yesterday mom said that there was a dress that was being measured for me” Yaoyao explained
“Eh, Ah…. Alright...” said Li Chen.
And just like that, Li Chen in stayed alone again. He who was still in the middle of the living room stood up and turned his head left and right without anyone passing by. Not even his servant.
“Haah... I guess I went back to the room for practice only..” murmured Li Chen.
However, just as he wanted to turn around, all of a sudden his footsteps came to a halt and his eyes widened as if recalling something.
“Wait! I just remembered there is something to take care of as well”
Li Chen did not turn around and he walked out of his house alone. Without anyone knowing and looking, Li Chen went to Sheng forest again.
**
The dense forest was full of green trees and the animals were roaming freely in peace and tranquility. Li Chen who saw that the forest looked full of life had unconsciously become a faint smile as if a calm and happy feeling was flowing within it.
Shortly after, after a few minutes of tracing into the forest, Li Chen finally reached his destination. A lake that was so vast and looked the same as the last time it came. The lake where he picked up the green lotus flower and also met Haishe.
“Finally arrived...”.
