Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 135: It’s Love
Chapter 135: Chapter 135: It’s Love
"Insight Eye can easily see through the opponent’s weaknesses."
"Regardless of whether the opponent is human or a Demon Beast, it applies."
"Therefore, after arriving at Tianya Island, when battling Demon Beasts, Liu Xin’s command is the top priority. You all must listen to her, her commands are even more important than mine!"
"Did everyone understand?"
At this point,
Wu Ya especially focused her gaze on Xiao Zhan and Liu Yuan, "Your task, you four, is to protect President Liu Xin. She lacks combat power, and it could be fatal if some reckless Demon Beast attacks her."
"Therefore, you must protect her closely at all times." freewebnσvel.cøm
"Do you understand?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhan and Liu Yuan responded.
He now understood why they had to bring Liu Xin along.
It was because of the ’Insight Eye’ talent.
Can see through an enemy’s weakness?
Such a powerful talent skill, isn’t that almost like cheating?
Although this ’cheat’ isn’t very big.
Xiao Zhan was somewhat puzzled; her talent skill, although not strong in combat, greatly aids in battle. Logically speaking, she should be eligible for a Contract.
Moreover, her talent is so high.
SS-level.
Even if a Spirit Master can’t utilize the power of an Artifact Spirit, relying on her Artifact Spirit Level, they can still become stronger.
There should be many people eager to Contract with her.
But she hasn’t made a Contract, which suggests she’s likely one of those who aren’t willing to.
However, Xiao Zhan thought, if it were him, he probably wouldn’t want to Contract either.
After contracting, such combat-weak Artifact Spirits are entirely passive, akin to being dependent on the Spirit Master.
Unlike weapon-like Artifact Spirits, which possess equal strength usage.
Moreover, since she isn’t strong in combat, whether or not she has a Spirit Master doesn’t really make a difference to her.
...
As the plane continued to fly.
About two hours later, everyone arrived at the periphery of Tianya Island.
After the anomaly, not only did plants and animals mutate, yielding Demon Beasts and Spirit Fruit, but the earth’s topography also underwent significant transformations.
Mountains and rivers evolved, plains expanded, and jungles became more treacherous.
Some areas that were originally deserts experienced drastic changes, becoming Environs covered in greenery and connected waters, resulting in a radical transformation.
Tianya Island originated in this manner.
It’s called an island simply because it was originally a small island in the middle of a lake, but now, it’s a vast region.
For safety, the plane landed on the outermost periphery.
Then they proceeded on foot.
Stepping onto Tianya Island, the rich Spirit Manipulation Energy immediately made everyone feel refreshed and invigorated.
"This place is really nice, even better than the artificially created cultivation environments in the Special Service Bureau," Liu Yuan remarked as he walked beside Xiao Zhan.
The so-called artificially created cultivation environments are essentially just places where Spirit Grass that emits Spirit Manipulation Energy is planted.
But such environments are poor and are only used for regular Special Service Bureau personnel.
The truly high-level cultivation environments modify the entire environment from the inside out, creating a favorable cycle.
Just planting Spirit Grass on the surface is ineffective.
It’s a kind of improper practice that hinders growth.
Liu Yuan was talking nonsense; naturally occurring things are of course better than artificial ones.
It makes him look inexperienced and naive.
Xiao Zhan wouldn’t think it’s anything impressive. The Secret Realm is such a great place, and he’s taken even the roots from there.
"Don’t talk. Protectors should look like protectors. Your giggling and grinning doesn’t suit the role. Look at Xiao Zhan, he is much more composed than you."
Walking together, Liu Xin couldn’t help but speak to Liu Yuan.
Being chided this way, Liu Yuan’s expression turned serious immediately.
Liu Xin’s words did indeed have a deterring power.
Not to mention her important role in the team, but merely her status alone was significantly higher than Liu Yuan’s.
So, Liu Yuan, the young lad, quieted down at once.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Liu Yuan, who had been demoted to the second team after failing his last assessment, and had been lost in low spirits for a day or two.
But he is naturally optimistic, so it only lasted two days before he returned to his positively spirited approach to life.
Of course, the main reason for his recovery was Xu Qing.
After the assessment failure, Xu Qing unexpectedly did not leave him, and even an S-Rank Spirit Master came looking for Xu Qing, but she still didn’t leave.
Knowing this, Liu Yuan was extraordinarily happy, even sweeter than having a heart grown in honey.
Xu Qing’s actions made Liu Yuan feel his good times were just around the corner.
Though he lost in his career, he gained in love, which was also something good. So his mood wasn’t too sorrowful, but instead even happier.
However, Xiao Zhan didn’t see it that way, he had observed Xu Qing’s behavior towards Liu Yuan.
It was the same as always, without any difference, no intimate gestures at all.
The only difference was the increase of words like ’um’, ’oh’, ’okay’.
There was none of the interactions typical between lovers.
Only someone like Xiao Zhan, who had truly experienced love, could easily spot the issue between them.
But Liu Yuan was completely oblivious.
Xiao Zhan also wondered why Xu Qing would reject that S-Rank; theoretically, isn’t that what she had always pursued?
The group continued on their way.
The path ahead was very safe, nothing out of the ordinary.
They walked relaxedly.
After being serious for a while, Liu Yuan returned to his active nature, but with Liu Xin present, he didn’t dare to let loose too much.
Liu Xin was also somewhat bored and didn’t pay much attention to Liu Yuan, but curiously asked Xiao Zhan,
"Hey, you two are so young and you signed a Life and Death Contract. What made you make such a choice? Was it talent? Confidence?"
"It’s..."
"It’s love."
Xiao Zhan was only halfway through his answer when Ye Youlong interjected.
She also intentionally stepped between Liu Xin and Xiao Zhan, pushing her a bit away from Xiao Zhan.
Like a mother hen protecting her chick.
Liu Xin’s expression slightly froze, puzzled by Ye Youlong’s strong counter-surveillance ability, and she subconsciously gave Xiao Zhan a questioning look.
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Yes, it’s love."
He really wanted to say it was because he’s a clean freak, but he figured if he said that, it might be a month before he could get cozy with his wife again.
Besides, being a clean freak is also a kind of love, right?
It’s a love that reaches deep into the soul.
Their answers made Liu Xin smile wryly.
"But as far as I know, when you two signed the contract, you had only known each other for a day or two. Can there be love in just a day or two?"
"Have you ever heard of love at first sight?"
