I Contracted Myself-Chapter 74 – Naming the little ant queen

Zhang Ping thought to himself and then said to the little creature, "Don't be afraid, dear princess, this prince will get you out of here!"

As he spoke, he controlled his blood to grow a pair of wings on the little creature's back, then covered the wings with Nether Mist, swiftly flying it into the sky.

Countless ants surged forward, forming a black ant tower that kept climbing towards the sky, but the Nether Mist flew so fast that they escaped the Black Mountain Bowback Ants in the blink of an eye.

"Whoo-hoo!"

Zhang Ping let out a strange cry, controlling the Nether Mist to make a turn, stopping in mid-air to look down.

He laughed and said, "Honorable princess, this prince has successfully rescued you. By the way... are you sure you don't want to eat one?"

As he spoke, he took out the Contract Gem.

But the little creature didn't even look at the Contract Gem; instead, it stared blankly at the ants below, finally opening its mouth in anger and letting out a strange whimper.

"You can make sounds?" Zhang Ping said in surprise.

The sound was unclear in meaning, but Zhang Ping could feel its anger and sadness, so he assumed it was cursing the ants.

"Alright, let's go!"

Zhang Ping smiled and then flew in the direction where Bai De and Feng Laixian had escaped.

On the other side, Feng Laixian and Bai De were quickly weaving through the forest. Neither of them expected to avoid the Black Mountain Bowback Ants so easily, without even a conflict.

"Where's Zhang Ping?" Feng Laixian looked up but didn't see Zhang Ping, so he asked.

Bai De said helplessly, "That kid can fly; maybe he found something new."

The last thing he heard from Zhang Ping was him seemingly teasing some animal cub. He felt like all his previous warnings had been in vain.

The wilderness is so dangerous that even a caterpillar could be deadly.

He originally thought Zhang Ping had taken his words to heart, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, Zhang Ping would go courting death.

"Coach Bai, Master Feng, we need to run!" Zhang Ping grew a mouth on the little creature's head, shouting loudly as he flew.

Bai De glanced casually, but when he saw the little creature, his eyes almost popped out. He exclaimed, "Zhang Ping, what the hell is this?"

"Those Black Mountain Bowback Ants were looking for this little guy, so I rescued it," Zhang Ping said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Feng Laixian and Bai De instantly understood and almost simultaneously accelerated, running full speed down the mountain.

"Zhang Ping, how did I never realize you were so unreliable before?" Bai De shouted as he ran.

At the Beast King Boxing School, he always thought Zhang Ping was particularly steady and reliable, so he often assigned tasks to him, letting him build good relationships with other students, hoping to take him as a close disciple if he performed well in the future.

But now, in the wild, he realized that Zhang Ping never had the chance to cause trouble before.

Once given the chance.

He would quietly dig a big hole and bury you alive.

If Zhang Ping were his son, he would definitely kill him early to avoid being screwed over.

At this moment, the Black Mountain Bowback Ants indeed changed their marching direction, swarming towards Zhang Ping's location like a black tide surging down the mountain.

"Little one, look at the risk I'm taking to save you," Zhang Ping said as he flew, speaking to the mobile fortress ant.

The little creature remained silent, but its eyes still burned with the flames of revenge.

"How about I give you a name?" Zhang Ping pondered.

The little creature still didn't respond.

"How about Sasuke?"

This novel is available on ".

Zhang Ping thought of a character from a manga he read in his previous life, a self-proclaimed avenger.

But then he felt the name didn't quite fit, as the little creature was a fallen princess, and the name didn't match.

"How about Satsuji?"

Zhang Ping mulled it over and suggested again.

Ji.

In a certain island nation, it means princess, which matched the little creature's identity perfectly.

But then he thought about having to call the little creature "Satsuji" in the future, and he dismissed the name.

"Turns out I don't have much talent for naming," he said, distressed.

Since he couldn't think of a good name, he decided to break down the little creature's species name.

Mobile Fortress Ant.

Little Mobile?

Little Fortress?

Little Ant?

Little Fort?

Little Fortress?

Zhang Ping broke down the name one by one, then dismissed each one.

"Maybe I should try doubling the characters."

Zhang Ping stroked the little creature's head, talking to himself.

Mobile Mobile, Fortress Fortress, Ant Ant, Fort Fort...

He was getting a feel for it.

Maybe changing the characters a bit would work.

"Little one, how about Yaoyao? It sounds very princess-like," Zhang Ping mused.

But the little creature immediately shook its head, clearly not liking the name.

"If you don't like it, then we won't use it."

Zhang Ping was secretly pleased. He wasn't afraid of the little creature disliking the name; he was afraid it wouldn't react.

Since it reacted, he would eventually win it over.

He got more motivated.

He analyzed, "You feel like jade to the touch, how about Xiaoyu?"

"Don't like it?"

"Then how about Xiaonuan? Nuannuan?"

...

"Meimei?"

...

"I am the Swarm, how about Kerrigan?"

"Don't like it? I think it's great."

...

"Why don't you just kill me?"

Zhang Ping was almost desperate. He wasn't good at naming, and just thinking of these names was draining his brain.

But the little creature was clearly not satisfied with Zhang Ping giving up so quickly, shaking its head again to show its displeasure.

Zhang Ping said painfully, "Fortress... Fortress... let me think... how about Theron?"

He was completely out of ideas, randomly thinking of a female celebrity from his previous life.

To his surprise, the little creature transmitted a feeling of joy. It seemed to like the name.
