The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

One month later.

Jiang Liujing was like a helpless fish, swept away by the tide and left the classroom with the others to a new area.

He raised his head and looked at the huge plaque in front of him with the words "Fantasy Beast Garden" engraved on it, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Today they were attending a general education class on mythical beasts.

It was originally just a theoretical class, introducing the habits and abilities of different types of mythical beasts. Unexpectedly, during class today, the female teacher suddenly said mysteriously that the school had prepared a surprise for them.

Then they came here.

The other students except Jiang Liujing had already burst into screams of extreme excitement.

"Teacher, can we really take these mythical beasts away?"

The female teacher had heard this question many times today, but she still smiled and patiently answered, "Yes, as long as you can get the approval of the phantom beasts themselves, you can take them away, but each person can only take one."

A student complained, "This last rule is completely unnecessary. How can anyone possibly be liked by two mythical beasts at once?"

They sometimes wondered if the current mythical beasts had written their hatred for humans into their racial memory.

In the past, it was difficult to contract adult fantasy beasts, but now even young fantasy beasts that have just been born or are not yet born often avoid humans.

Faced with such changes, high-level mages can still rely on their own strength to conquer some fantasy beasts to become their partners, while low-level mages can only rely on sweet words to lure and coax them.

Tell those fantasy beasts how much potential you have and how much you know how to take care of them - but the results are often average, after all, the foundation for a fantasy beast to develop intelligence is the fourth level.

The wealthier ones will prepare things that the phantom beast likes in advance, and use a "greeting gift" to open the phantom beast's defensive heart.

However, the latter option is obviously not feasible today, because they were brought here suddenly and no one knows what kind of mythical beasts are in the garden, let alone prepare in advance.

Faced with the students' questions, the female teacher just smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, he led the team forward and said, "Let's go. Your Water Academy is the first this year, so you have priority in choosing the mythical beasts. Those who come later will not have so many choices."

"Wow!"

It was the first time for the freshmen of the School of Water Resources to enjoy this special treatment, and they felt quite proud for a while.

They obviously knew who was the reason for their ranking, and they all rushed to Jiang Liujing's side, taking turns to thank him.

Jiang Liujing was overwhelmed by their praise. He calmly waved his hands to indicate that it was nothing and it was what he should do as a member of the Water Academy. In his heart, he urgently communicated with Chi, telling him that he was going to enter the Fantasy Beast Garden.

Chi said that the symbiotic contract between them did not affect his ability to sign ordinary contracts with other fantasy beasts. Jiang Liujing could still contract other fantasy beasts, and it would also be convenient for him to disguise himself as a normal wizard outside - the more powerful the wizard, the more contract partners he would have.

Jiang Liujing was not very willing to do so. He realized that there was a serious problem with the contract between humans and phantom beasts. The contract restricted phantom beasts to only choose one human, while humans could choose multiple phantom beasts.

That's not fair, is it?

He expressed this doubt to Chi, but Chi, whose true form was a mythical beast, remained calm and didn't find it strange at all. He replied, "Because the concept of 'contract' itself was created by humans."

As the creator, how can you not be biased towards yourself?

"Then I won't sign with other mythical beasts..."

"No, Miaomiao," Chi rarely interrupted Jiang Liujing, "You don't have to worry about my existence. Just do what you want to do."

Chi had said this to Jiang Liujing during the freshman competition, but Jiang Liujing hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. Now that he was standing in the Fantasy Beast Garden, he had to pay attention. He blinked and asked in confusion, "Aren't you angry?"

Chi was silent for a moment, probably thinking about what kind of image he was in Miaomiao's eyes.

After a long pause, he replied, “No.”

It is impossible to say that I am happy, but I am not angry either.

If it was Chi during the forest stage when he just met Miaomiao, he would definitely try his best to stop it, because at that time he had no idea about the new world, and Miaomiao was his only anchor. He would never allow anyone or any fantasy beast to snatch or contaminate her.

But the situation is different now.

Chi Xin thought that this might be what it felt like to go from wild to domesticated.

His sharp edges were becoming blunted invisibly. After realizing how high his status was in Jiang Liujing's heart, he no longer cared so much about the interference of ordinary fantasy beasts, and only regarded them as part of Jiang Liujing's power.

After all, he still has the identity of Miaomiao’s “human roommate”. Can other fantasy beasts do that?

Jiang Liujing was communicating with Chi in his heart while following the crowd forward. The scene inside the Fantasy Beast Garden gradually appeared before his eyes, which also caused a large number of students to exclaim.

Unlike what everyone imagined, which was a place full of cages, the interior of the Fantasy Beast Garden was actually like a small forest. With just a quick glance, you could discover many natural landscapes including swamps.

But the density of fantasy beasts here is obviously much higher than that of ordinary forests. They had just walked in when they saw more than ten bird-like fantasy beasts peeking out from a row of trees outside.

Even when they saw a large group of humans suddenly rushing in, these birds did not intend to hide or fly away or prepare to attack. Instead, they looked at them curiously.

The students certainly didn't miss this anomaly. Meimei looked at the teacher in surprise and asked, "Teacher, are these mythical beasts trained?"

The teacher nodded and smiled. "Yes, this batch of phantasmal beasts was gifted to us this year by the Gu family. They said they're looking forward to seeing the growth of this new class. If you've heard of this family, you'll know they have several bases dedicated to raising phantasmal cubs. These cubs are raised by humans from birth, making them less hostile to humans than ordinary phantasmal beasts, making it easier for you to contract them."

The students exclaimed in amazement.

"Such a generous gesture! As expected of the Gu family!"

A single mythical beast cub would fetch an unknown amount of gold coins, yet the Gu family unexpectedly donated a batch directly to the school. Many of the students present came from aristocratic families, yet at this moment, they all felt a resentment towards the rich.

The teacher reminded them again, "Only a portion of the fantasy beast cubs in the Fantasy Beast Garden are donated by the Gu family. There are still many left over from previous years that haven't been contracted away. Most of these are very aggressive and hate humans. If you encounter them, you're likely to get hurt. Don't let your guard down. Form groups of five and walk together."
