The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

It took two days to complete the first round of individual competition, and all members of Villa No. 17 advanced without exception.

This wasn't a big surprise; they had anticipated it after the group list was released. Amidst the other students, either cheering or feeling lost, they remained remarkably calm.

Mo Ya couldn't even wait to hear the principal finish. When his name was called, he squeezed all the way to Jiang Liujing's side, patted his shoulder and said with shining eyes: "Xiao Jing, how about we go out to dinner together in the dormitory tonight?"

"tonight?"

"Right." Mo Ya rubbed his hands and said logically, "Think about it. Today, our entire dormitory is very happy that we won the game. It's a perfect time for us to have a meal together. In two days, there might be a civil war. It would be so awkward to get together then."

Jiang Liujing thought about it and had to admit that Mo Ya's suggestion made a damn good point. In the first round, none of the four of them had met, each winning their own battles, giving them a sense of "each one a champion after the division." But the situation wasn't certain in the following rounds.

He asked Chi about the contract, and Chi had no objection. He just asked them to tell him in advance after they decided on a place, and he would go and confirm that it was safe first.

Jiang Liujing then turned to Mo Ya and said, "I have no problem here. Have you asked Wen Xun and Chu Zhou?"

"Not yet." Mo Ya wiped his face and sighed, "I'm a little scared of Wen Xun. Didn't he go crazy on the road for no apparent reason last time? Although he's back to normal after a day, I still feel like he's still targeting me. But his attitude towards you is pretty good, so I thought of asking you to come along."

"Really?" Jiang Liujing didn't actually feel that Wen Xun's attitude towards him was very friendly.

Of the five people in the dormitory, he and Chi were undoubtedly the closest, Mo Ya was second, and Chu Zhou was also quite chatty. Only Wen Xun, upon meeting him, enjoyed making some rather bizarre declarations of victory, like "I'll be number one," and he also loved to take the lead when a group of people were talking.

Although he looks quite grown-up, if they were to choose the most childish person in the dormitory, Jiang Liujing believed that they would all vote for Wen Xun.

Mo Ya said confidently, "Really? Haven't you noticed? He usually won't reject any request you make in the dormitory."

Jiang Liujing really didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "That's probably because the requests I made are relatively reasonable."

However, Jiang Liujing had no objection to Mo Ya's suggestion to go find the remaining two roommates. Soon, the four of them met in the crowd.

When Chu Zhou heard Mo Ya's idea of ​​a dinner party, he quickly agreed and said with a smile, "Actually, even if you didn't tell me, I was thinking about it. It seems like we have a pretty good understanding."

Wen Xun snorted coldly and said, "Only the weak like to gather in groups."

Three people: "..." It's really not surprising.

The troublemaker in the dormitory has started again.

Jiang Liujing looked up at him and said, "So you're not going? Fine, then the three of us will go eat together with Chi."

After saying that, Jiang Liujing took a step back and actually planned to pull the two people next to him away.

Wen Xun looked at his back as he turned and left decisively, his expression frozen: "?"

What's going on? Can you at least try to keep them here? It feels like the three of them really hate him.

Seeing that they had already taken two steps outside, Wen Xun's calm expression finally broke, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, come back, I didn't say I wouldn't go."

Jiang Liujing stopped, turned around and looked at Wen Xun with a smile, as if saying "As expected you would say that."

Mo Ya was trying to suppress his laughter, nudging Chu Zhou with his elbow and muttering softly, "See, I knew I still had to rely on Xiao Jing."

Chu Zhou had a helpless expression on his face, thinking that this guy was really embarrassing.

But out of that little bit of childhood friendship, he still cleared his throat and said to save face for Wen Xun: "He might be hungry and suddenly want to eat."

Wen Xun: “…”

The more you explain, the worse it gets.

How come he became a glutton who only cares about eating?

Wen Xun glared at them angrily and said, "That's enough. I just think there's nothing wrong with getting together occasionally, but I can't always hang out with you guys!"

"Oh~" The three of them stretched out the ending tone at the same time, and Wen Xun was so angry that his face turned red and white.

Jiang Liujing crossed his arms, walked back slowly and said, "Okay, since you want to go, you should be responsible for choosing a place. Isn't it because you were shopping the whole time that you reported late? You should be familiar with the shops around here. Don't go too far from school."

In fact, he just wanted to make things difficult for Wen Xun. After all, this young master didn't seem to remember much.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xun pondered for a long time after hearing this, and actually raised his head and said seriously: "I do know a good shop nearby. Right, Chu Zhou?"

Chu Zhou frowned and recalled for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Indeed, if it's that store, it's quite suitable."

Mo Ya and Jiang Liujing looked at each other, wondering what the two were talking about.

Chu Zhou suddenly turned to the two of them and asked, "You two aren't afraid of snakes, right?"

Both of them shook their heads.

Snakes are a renowned branch of mythical beasts, often described as "nine out of ten snakes are venomous, and one is particularly venomous." Few magicians contract snakes, as the noble and refined mages shy away from such cold beasts. However, many magic warriors do.

In addition to snake-like mythical beasts, there are also snake-like spirit beasts and ordinary wild beast snakes. The latter two are not very poisonous and their attack capabilities are not very strong, but their meat is quite nutritious and is loved by many people.

Jiang Liujing guessed from Chu Zhou's words, "Does this shop sell snake meat?"

Chu Zhou nodded. "Snake meat is their signature dish, but they also have specialties from various countries, ensuring that people from all over the world can taste the flavors of home. We've only eaten here once, but the taste is quite authentic. I wonder how many places they've recruited chefs from."

Seeing that both of them strongly promoted this store, Jiang Liujing and Mo Ya thought about it and agreed.

"What's the name of this store?" Jiang Liujing asked, "I'll contact Chi and go there to take a look."

"Baiwei Mansion. It's not located in the main city, but on a branch street quite close to our school. I can't remember the name of that street. It's quite remote, so it might be difficult for him to find it. Why don't we let him go with us?"

Jiang Liujing passed the message to Chi, who simply replied with two words: "No need."

Jiang Liujing didn't have a match today, so Chi also took the time to do some of his own things - he went out to visit the Orc Association.

The Orc Association only allowed transformed orcs to enter. Due to their small number, the entrance was deserted and unattended. However, Chi noticed an identification array at the entrance, and the screening criteria was ninth level.

He observed for a while and did not rush in. Instead, he left first and then received an invitation to dinner from Miaomiao.

Snakes? He closed his red eyes, and his five senses were instantly mobilized to the extreme.

The phantom beast's unique perception ability, which is hundreds or thousands of times more sensitive than that of humans, was further amplified and strengthened under his deliberate efforts, invisibly and powerfully capturing all the fragmented and scattered information.

Soon, he heard the words he wanted from two passers-by: "The snake soup at Baiwei Mansion tastes really good, completely different from the ones in other shops."

"Hahaha, after all, other people's shops only sell ordinary farmed snakes. How can they compare to the real spiritual beast snakes used by Baiwei Mansion?"

Chi narrowed his perception range and explored the direction from which the two people came more accurately.

As his perception ability continued to deepen, he was able to successfully capture the unique aura of snake-like spirit beasts.

Within a radius of ten miles, there is only one place with such an atmosphere, and it is quite strong.

Chi opened his eyes and found himself here.
