140: Master and contracted beast...?
The layout of the second floor was well-arranged.
Upon ascending the stairs, the first room was the cozy nest of sisters Zhang Qingning and Zhang Shuya, while the second room belonged to Jiang Feng.
The bathroom, on the other hand, was tucked away at the end of the corridor.
At the bathroom door, Zheng Yiyun was like a sneaking kitten, peeking around nervously…
Her eyes occasionally darted towards Zhang Qingning’s room… She looked exactly like a petty thief afraid of being caught red-handed while doing something bad…
A faint yellowish light seeped through the door crack.
Clearly, Zhang Qingning was not asleep yet.
This made Zheng Yiyun’s heart instantly leap to her throat.
But what she didn’t know was that Zhang Qingning was currently wearing headphones, looking like a cold, high-achieving female scholar, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on her tall nose, staring intently at the computer screen.
The dense academic paper text on it seemed like a swarm of tiny ants crawling, as if they were about to devour her.
She was completely oblivious to the subtle movements in the bathroom, secretly cheering herself on:
“Go, Zhang Qingning!”
“Finish today’s task as soon as possible… Then I can go to Little Feng’s room and sleep with him!”
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingning let out a silly giggle.
If someone familiar with her saw this, they would probably be shocked…
The once unapproachable, cold campus belle of Zhongda University, the high-flying beauty, was actually giggling foolishly for a man?
At this moment, Zheng Yiyun, like a startled fawn, tiptoed along the corridor.
Each step was like treading on cotton, light and cautious.
This was clearly her own home…
Yet, at this moment, she was like a burglar, not daring to even breathe…
What kind of situation was this…
Zheng Yiyun took every step carefully, not daring to make even the slightest sound, fearing she might disturb Zhang Qingning.
Her heart was pounding like a little rabbit: “Please don’t let her discover me… Otherwise, where would I put my face? Qing Ning would definitely be furious!”
Time slowly crept by, minute by minute.
Zheng Yiyun finally slowly moved to the staircase, feeling her legs turn to jelly, as if she had walked ten thousand miles…
She let out a heavy sigh of relief, as if that breath would expel all her tension.
“Finally! It’s finally over… This was truly not easy, harder than ascending to heaven!”
Just then, as if fate was playing a trick on her, the door creaked open.
“Yun-Ayi, you’re back? What are you doing here?”
Zhang Qingning’s pretty face was full of curiosity, as she looked suspiciously at Zheng Yiyun, who stood like a wooden post at the staircase.
Zheng Yiyun’s head instantly buzzed, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks like broken pearls…
“Yes… Yes… I just came back, came up to see if you all were asleep… It’s very late already… Qing Ning, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Her voice trembled like a falling leaf in the autumn wind.
Zhang Qingning smiled and said, “I came out to use the restroom; I haven’t finished reading my paper yet… I’ll go to sleep later!”
Zheng Yiyun nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking rice:
“Okay, you go quickly…”
Watching Zhang Qingning leave, Zheng Yiyun let out a long sigh of relief, as if expelling all the pressure.
She thought to herself: “I finally got through this… Thank goodness!”
As she went down the stairs, her legs gave way, and she stumbled, almost falling.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted and grabbed the handrail, preventing herself from taking a tumble.
She clenched her fists; her palms were covered in cold sweat, and her back was drenched, as if she had just been pulled out of water.
…
As for Jiang Feng, he naturally returned to his room in loose pajamas, swaying leisurely.
The room was decorated warmly and comfortably, with the lights casting a soft, thin veil over every corner, as if draping the entire room in a dreamy hue.
He lay down on the bed like a lord, his hands clasped behind his head, and the scenes of his recent time with Zheng Yiyun kept replaying in his mind like a movie…
Jiang Feng thought to himself, feeling delighted:
“Spending time with Yi Yun (Aunt Yun) today was truly delightful and exciting… And there’s a secret lesson tonight, just thinking about it makes me excited… Yi Yun (Aunt Yun) also said she has a surprise for me… I wonder what kind of surprise it will be, hehe…”
Time crawled by like a slow snail, minute by minute.
The night outside the window grew darker, like a huge black curtain slowly enveloping the entire world.
Moonlight pierced through the window like a silver sword, scattering across the floor, forming patches of silvery light, as if laying a silver carpet across the earth.
“So slow! Why is time passing so slowly? Why isn’t Yi Yun (Aunt Yun) here yet…”
Jiang Feng tossed and turned on the bed, like an ant on a hot pan.
Although he had a lot of experience, the thought of Zheng Yiyun being the target made his heart feel like it was being scratched by a kitten, both anticipating and anxious.
The ultimate scumbag, Jiang Feng, unexpectedly felt, after a long time, the same sensation he had when he first had a deep interaction with a girl…
Nervousness, anticipation, eagerness, and excitement!
But it hadn’t been long yet, so he could only find something to distract himself.
“System, open the list of uncompleted tasks!” Jiang Feng muttered to himself.
【Ding! Six tasks have accumulated. Host, please work hard and complete the tasks as soon as possible to obtain generous rewards!】
The system’s voice rang in his mind:
【Task 1: Actively cooperate with Zheng Yiyun’s secret lesson (repeatable)】
【Reward: 20,000 RMB】
Jiang Feng looked at this task and secretly rejoiced:
“Hehe, after I ‘eat’ Yi Yun (Aunt Yun) tonight, won’t this task be easily completed? This is practically free money!”
【Task 2: In your interactions with Zhang Jinyu, assume a dominant position!】
【Reward: 0 ~ 100,000,000 RMB (depending on Host’s position), Life Potion * 1】
【Task Time Limit: One month】
Jiang Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought:
“I really need to speed up on this task… Putting aside the 100 million RMB for now, I must get this Life Potion! After all, my mother has acute leukemia, and even if she undergoes surgery, she might not fully recover. This Life Potion can definitely save my mother! And it has no side effects whatsoever!”
Jiang Feng, who used to be a contract beast training master, was still very confident in training Zhang Jinyu to become his loyal contract beast.
Master and contract beast…
Is there a greater disparity in status than that?
Jiang Feng had reason to believe that as long as he trained Zhang Jinyu into a contract beast, he would definitely receive the highest reward of 100 million yuan upon completing the task!
