199: Chapter 199 Contract with Athena Chu

"We'd better stop thinking about it."

The King of Nanling sighed and spoke. Beside him, the King of the Western Frontier fell into deep thought after hearing his words.

After a long while.

He looked up at the King of Nanling. "I actually do have a niece, and she really is quite beautiful."

"Isn't that niece of yours F-rank?"

"How can you say that? Old Jing's two nieces weren't powerful Artifact Spirits either. Moreover, I've heard that none of Ye Qing's Artifact Spirits were powerful at the start; they were all Wasted Artifact Spirits and only became powerful after forming a Contract with Ye Qing!"

King of Nanling: "..."

When you put it that way, it does seem to be the case. Ye Qing really seems to have the ability to turn decay into something magical.

"I'm going to go ask my niece right now."

The King of the Western Frontier gave a mischievous grin and prepared to set off.

From where he stood, the King of Nanling watched him, his lip curling. "If you do this, won't I look like a fool?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

King of Nanling: "..." @#￥%

Inside the manor.

Liu Fang was in her room, looking outside. Closing her eyes, she thought back to everything that happened yesterday. Ye Qing was actually powerful to such an extent; it truly exceeded her imagination.

Previously, she had heard of Ye Qing's prowess from Zhou Lingxue and the others, but seeing for herself how powerful he was yesterday was a completely different concept.

"It seems I need to have a talk with Ye Qing. It's the perfect time while Zhu Yin is out."

Knowing that Zhu Yin, Zhou Lingxue, and the others had gone out shopping, Liu Fang headed toward Ye Qing's side.

Ye Qing happened to be in the courtyard.

He saw Liu Fang.

"Ye Qing, can we talk?"

Liu Fang knew she didn't have much leverage to negotiate with Ye Qing. After all, he was so strong now that girls wanting to Contract with him could form a line from the Jiangcheng Barrier to the Modu Barrier. Although Zhu Yin was beautiful, beauty alone wasn't enough; her Artifact Spirit was still too weak.

Therefore, if she wanted Ye Qing to Contract with her, she had to play the emotional card and talk more about the friendship between Ye Qing and Zhu Yin's late father.

"Sure, there's no reason we can't."

Ye Qing readily agreed. The two headed to the parlor, and after a short while, tea was served.

Liu Fang began talking about Zhu Yin's deceased father.

After a moment, even Ye Qing had a look of confusion on his Face. What did this mean?

Why was she suddenly bringing this up?

Ye Qing didn't actually know any of the things she was saying. After all, his previous claim that he knew Zhu Yin's late father and that she had been entrusted to him was something he had made up himself.

It wasn't real.

Just as Ye Qing was wondering what Liu Fang was actually trying to do...

At the manor entrance.

Zhu Yin and the others had returned.

At this moment, Zhu Yin looked at the group of sisters and felt that she had integrated among them.

However, she also understood her own status; she was just staying here as a guest.

She couldn't compare to the status of Zhou Lingxue and the others. It wasn't just status; even their strength was as different as heaven and earth.

"Where is my mother?"

Zhu Yin asked a maidservant.

"Madam Liu is having tea with Lord Ye in the parlor!"

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Yin acknowledged this and then walked inside.

Meanwhile, in the parlor.

Ye Qing listened to Liu Fang ramble for a long time, his finger lightly tapping the table.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"This..." Liu Fang also realized she had spent too much time being sentimental. "I'm a bit embarrassed to say it."

"It's fine, feel free to speak your mind."

"Since Zhu Yin's late father entrusted her to you, I have a presumptuous request. I was wondering... could you form a Contract with Zhu Yin?"

Boom!

That one sentence!

It was like a clap of thunder!

It struck directly into the ears of Zhu Yin, who had just entered the room!

Her eyes widened instantly, unable to believe what she had just heard.

What on earth was her mother saying to Ye Qing!

This was way too embarrassing!

In an instant, her Face turned bright red!

Liu Fang hadn't expected Zhu Yin to return at this moment, but it didn't matter. She could tell from the girl's behavior that she wanted to Contract with Ye Qing but was held back by her sense of Face.

Now that it was out in the open...

She walked over and took Zhu Yin's hand.

She led her toward Ye Qing.

"Ye Qing, look..."

"Okay."

Huh?

Hearing Ye Qing's words, even Liu Fang was momentarily stunned.

Was he... really this straightforward?

She had been prepared to use logic and emotion to persuade him if he didn't agree.

To get him to say yes.

Now it seemed that wasn't necessary.

At this moment, Zhu Yin's Face was so red it looked like it might drip blood.

Outside.

Several figures walked in.

"Hubby, did you agree to Contract with Sister Zhu Yin?" Zhou Lingxue walked in and took Zhu Yin's hand. "Good sister, from now on, we're one family!"

Zhou Lingxue emphasized the words 'one family' particularly heavily.

Beside her, Yin Luoqing and the others also looked at Zhu Yin with unidentifiable smiles.

Great, they had gained another new comrade-in-arms.

That night, after finishing dinner.

Ye Qing entered Zhu Yin's room.

He then placed his hand on Zhu Yin's forehead.

"Accept it!"

Feeling the Contract power entering her body.

Zhu Yin began to accept it.

[Congratulations Host on contracting Zhu Yin. Contract successful. Obtained Ice Domain First Stage!]

This!

Ye Qing looked at the light screen and was momentarily stunned.

Ice Domain? He had obtained another Domain?!

He already had one Domain before, and now he had another!

He looked at the description of this Domain. As the name suggested, within the Ice Domain, one would be affected by the power of ice. Whether it was movement or anything else, everything would be slowed down. Furthermore, within this Domain, Ye Qing possessed absolute dominance and could directly freeze his opponents!

Good stuff!

[Congratulations Host on obtaining Moon Spirit Power!]

Hmm?!

What is this?

Ye Qing looked at the description and was then taken aback.

This thing could actually absorb the power of moonlight.

By absorbing moonlight power, one could rapidly increase their strength!

Isn't this just like the Six-Winged Sky Tiger?

Was he going to have to compete with his own Royal Beast for moonlight power later?

Whatever, if he had to compete, so be it.

...

At night.

The Six-Winged Sky Tiger was spreading its wings, preparing to absorb moonlight power.

Its six wings folded together, wrapping it into a cocoon.

Then, it began absorbing the moonlight power.

However, gradually.

The Six-Winged Sky Tiger also felt that something was wrong.

Today's moonlight power seemed a bit off!

It gave a low growl, spread its wings, and then looked toward the moonlight power!

It then discovered to its surprise that something was indeed wrong; the moonlight power it was supposed to absorb was heading toward a certain room instead!

That room belonged to none other than Ye Qing!

This!

The tiger's eyes widened. It didn't know what to do now, so after thinking for a moment...

It could only spread its wings and fly toward a different direction.
