The Eternal System
System 61: Claws and Hands
“Graa!!” raking giant bear
“Be-bear it... protect it?!” muttered Li Chen
Gong Qiao was speechless other than astonished and afraid to see that the bear had risen again. The look in his eyes that were so big glanced down at where Gong Qiao was standing.
The bear opened its mouth wide which was filled with sharp fangs. Gong Qiao, who closed his eyes in fear, suddenly heard such a loud voice.
Klang…!!
The voice from the Ki chain made by Feng Bufan had been destroyed by the giant bear. Gong Qiao whose right arm had been released was shocked and opened his eyes wide.
“Ta-hands. Y-you helped me?”
I don't know what had made him change, but the giant bear lowered its head and acted spoiled towards Gong Qiao. It was as if a pet wanted to call attention to his master.
“E-eh... a-what's up?!”
“Grrr.
Her delicate brown fur was clinging onto Gong Qiao's body and was swiped incessantly. It showed how dear and loving the bear was to Gong Qiao.
Slowly looking at the spoiled attitude of the bear, made Gong Qiao initiatively stroke its head and delicate brown fur.
“It's already...it's okay. Nobody hurt you anymore.”.
Instead of Gong Qiao serving the spoiled bear, Li Chen heaved a sigh of relief at seeing that the situation had turned safe for Gong Qiao. But it's not all done just yet.
The sound from the friction of the ground and the bushes that rang behind him, made Li Chen turn his head in that direction.
He saw the sprawling Feng Bufan and tried to get up full of wounds after being knocked from the giant bear's blow.
“Ugh... is impossible.. i... was despised by a weak girl.... and animals have no sense!” grunt Feng Bufan
“Grr....!!”
The instinct of the bear was instantly reactivated as it sensed the threat and malicious intent from Feng Bufan. His fangs were removed and he groaned furiously trying to be calmed down by Gong Qiao.
“Quiet, don't get mad!” said Gong Qiao
“Graa!” raking giant bear
Seeing Gong Qiao and the giant bear look familiar, made Feng Bufan even more annoyed.
His eyes were staring intently and his trying hand was raised while opening his palm.
“You two. I'll pull you guys to fall with me!”
Klang…!!!
The Ki chains that were taken out of Feng Bufan's fingers immediately charged towards the two of them. The bear had already become increasingly fierce and wanted to fight back.
However, the chains were stopped easily by Li Chen's one arm.
Trang…!!
Five fingers, that means five chains. And Li Chen held it down with one arm which made all the chains wrapped around his arm.
The gaze of his eyes that were so cold and the action that was holding back his attack left everyone shocked.
“Five minutes past...”.
Klang…!!
Li Chen pulled the Ki chain and made Feng Bufan attracted towards him.
Greb…!!
His neck was chuckled and lifted when he entered his grasp. Li Chen was merciless and even made Feng Bufan wrangle due to difficulty breathing.
“A-aacckh!! Le....off..kan!!”
“You've lost. By a girl and a giant bear. The fight is over..”.
“No matter”
Li Chen replied coldly because he basically did not care at all.With his chuckle just then, Li Chen pressed one of the nerves in Feng Bufan's neck and made him lose consciousness.
Urat and all of his muscles that were struggling from the beginning instantly relaxed. His head looked down as if he was sleepy. Li Chen who saw that instantly let go of his chuckle and let Feng Bufan fall just like that on the ground.
Turning his gaze as if uninterested, Li Chen changed the direction of his gaze to Gong Qiao who was standing with the giant bear. He walked slowly over to the bear that was still spoiled on Gong Qiao.
“Already already... the bad guy no longer exists..” said Gong Qiao.
“I don't think this bear can be tame by you” said Li Chen
“Jinak? Ti-no no, I guess she's just scared”
Gong Qiao rejected the statement that the bear was tame with him. However, Li Chen's argument was strengthened with the small bear's body shrinking abruptly. Turned like a tiny baby bear like before, and jumped right into Gong Qiao's arms.
“Grawr..
The bear roared small and looked very cute. It even made Li Chen and Gong Qiao reflexively smile happy to see him.
On the other hand, the bear was getting wild in playing inside Gong Qiao's arms. His soft fur was playing rolling over his arms and Gong Qiao's chest was quite large.
“Hahaha! It's ticklish tofu, you naughty bear!”
“Grawr...!!”
Li Chen who saw the scene was tempted by Gong Qiao's chest which continued to sway because of the small bear.
Boing...boing…!!
He immediately glanced to the side to cover his slightly reddened face.
“(Woah. Wait a minute, what am I thinking?!)”
Instead of her covering up her shyness, Gong Qiao who was staring worriedly at Li Chen continued to be silent and called out softly.
“Chen? You okay?” qiao asked Gong Qiao while appearing right on his face
“A-ah... ti-nothing...”.
It was unrelenting for Li Chen's eyes to keep stealing glances at Gong Qiao's chest that was so big and tender it seemed. His name is also a male instinct, it cannot be denied that his eyes will have time to steal an opportunity even though Li Chen's faith is strong and sometimes not too concerned with sexual matters.
At a time when awkward feelings were flowing in Li Chen, and Gong Qiao was filled with confusion while looking at him. Li Chen attempted to pull the topic and atmosphere back to normal.
“E-ehem..aah, Qiao’er. This bear seems to like you a lot, don't you want to try to make a contract with him?” ask Li Chen
Gong Qiao's eyes opened wide upon hearing this. He should be happy because by making a contract with the bear, he could gain a higher cultivation strength in an instant, and have a peer that he could rely on at any time.
However, it was not felt for Gong Qiao. He saw the contract between the mystical and human animals was just like a fetter for the animals. Because they are forced to follow and obey orders from humans. And also, Gong Qiao had seen many people who were at a high cultivation level by treating those mystical beasts like a mere source of strength.
And all of his thoughts were fused back then, making him come to a conclusion.
“I... I don't want..” Gong Qiao said
Li Chen was stunned silently with both eyes wide open when he heard Gong Qiao say. Not only her, but the little bear looked like it was a little disappointed looking at her.
“Why? Isn't that a good opportunity?”
“I know. However, seeing the mystical beasts that were made into contracts with me, will only make their lives shackled and not free as usual. They have the right to live freely, therefore I do not want to make a contract with them”
Gong Qiao's brief explanation made Li Chen agree for a moment. He could not comment much, as it was already Gong Qiao's decision.
However, it is different from the bear itself. He looked like he was unhappy with Gong Qiao's decision and immediately jumped down from his embrace.
“Grr..!!”
“E-eh... little bear, what are you doing?!”
The little bear stood with all four of its legs right in front of Gong Qiao. The suddenly opened eyes gave rise to a powerful radiance of Ki energy, followed by an energy circle that had intricate carvings.
The sring…!!
