The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Joe's voice calling for others to help put him down was still echoing in his ears.

Jiang Liujing looked at the bird that looked angry after hatching from the shell, and gradually fell into deep thought.

With the precedent of Chi, the identity of the little gray bird, which also showed a high degree of spirituality, is obviously not simple.

But why was it in a school's fantasy zoo, protected by a thunder eagle that wasn't of the same species?

Yes, at this moment Jiang Liujing was completely certain that it could not be the cub of a thunder eagle, not even a hybrid.

The spatial ability it used and the magical aura surrounding it fully proved that it was a light-type bird.

Moreover, it was extremely powerful, making it impossible for even the third-level Joe to resist.

He gently stroked the little gray bird's head, which was still a little wet after it hatched, with his fingertips, and straightened out a few strands of messy hair that were stuck on it.

The little bird narrowed its light golden eyes and stretched its neck comfortably.

The breath emanating from the human in front of it was like the paulownia wood that attracted the most birds. As soon as it got close, its whole body felt warm. It was worth it for it to run out specifically to find the source of the breath.

"Chirp."

Contract?

Jiang Liujing didn't understand what it meant. He casually stroked the bird's head twice and walked towards the Thunder Eagle with the gray bird that had just hatched.

The little gray bird bounced up and down, a look of confusion in its eyes. What was its new daddy going to do?

Jiang Liujing stopped in front of the big blue bird, which had become very quiet after its egg hatched, and looked into the eyes of the big bird, which lowered its head due to the noise.

This was the most harmonious moment between Thunder Eagle and them since his appearance.

The Thunder Eagle cried out, as if asking him why he came here.

Jiang Liujing raised his right hand and handed the egg and the gray bird to him: "Give it back to you."

The movement was so smooth that there was not even a hint of hesitation.

For a moment, the Thunder Eagle and the Gray Bird both showed very dull expressions.

"...Chirp?" After a long time, the little gray bird trembled and called out to Jiang Liujing. The cry was so heartbreaking.

The Thunder Eagle tilted its head and looked at Jiang Liujing with an incredible look, and did not take the little gray bird and eggshell he handed over.

The Thunder Eagle has been raising this egg for several years since it accidentally picked it up. During this period, the egg's vital signs have long been mature, but it has been reluctant to hatch and has ignored its adoptive father.

It has no complaints about this.

The bloodline levels of bird-like mythical beasts were more distinct than those of ordinary mythical beasts. It could sense that the life within the egg possessed a very noble bloodline. Even before it was born, the subtle sense of pressure forced it to bow its head and obey.

But today, the usually quiet egg not only ran away by itself, but also broke its shell in the child's palm.

The egg chose him.

Thunder Eagle had no say in this.

But it never expected that this human did not choose eggs!

Jiang Liujing just stood there for a while before he noticed that the two birds in front of him, one big and one small, suddenly became full of resentment.

Jiang Liujing:?

What happened?

Didn't he return the other people's cubs and reunite them? Why do both the big and small seem unhappy now?

The expression on the child's face was rarely confused.

Those involved are often confused, but those who are watching can see things clearly. The female teacher standing by has already seen through everything.

She raised her hand to cover her lips, as if to hide the smile that she couldn't suppress. After clearing her throat twice, she said to Jiang Liujing, "That little bird wants to invite you to be its contract partner. You have to send it back. It feels like you rejected it and is very sad now."

"Chirp." The little gray bird, with most of its body tucked into the eggshell, called out weakly.

That's it.

Jiang Liujing finally understood the little gray bird's intention. Although he didn't know why the protective Thunder Eagle didn't stop it, he still looked down at it and explained, "My magic power is of water and wind attributes, which is not suitable for you."

The little gray bird stopped singing. Its light golden eyes stared at Jiang Liujing without blinking, and they glowed like some kind of inorganic light in the sun like glass.

The next second, Jiang Liujing heard a childish and unfamiliar voice suddenly ringing in his mind.

"You liar! You clearly have light magic!"

Jiang Liujing was startled by the sudden sound and suddenly lowered his head to meet the eyes of the little gray bird.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the bird that originally looked innocent and pitiful now became angry, and looked at him with a hint of grievance in its eyes.

He calmed himself down and replied in his mind, "It's you? Are you talking to me?"

"Yeah." Although the little gray bird in his hand felt disappointed, it still raised its neck and made a proud expression when it heard his words. "I'm awesome! Daddy, it doesn't matter if you don't understand me. I can speak your human language."

So it’s definitely worthwhile to sign a contract with it!

Jiang Liujing said "Oh" and began to think about which birds can speak human language when they are young.

Dahei seems to be able to speak human language.

This little bird was covered in gray when it was born. Could it be a relative of Dahei?

"No! The ugly black crow and I are not of the same species!"

As if sensing what was in his mind, the little gray bird angrily stomped on the eggshell, then flapped its wings and flew straight towards Jiang Liujing, landing on his shoulder.

Its feathers were not fully grown, and it relied on the little magic it was born with to fly. Its flight trajectory was crooked and very strange, but fortunately it finally landed safely at its destination.

Jiang Liujing's neck was inevitably rubbed by it at this position, which made him feel a little itchy.

He dodged for a moment, then retorted, "Dahei is not a crow!"

It's just that the transformed appearance is a bit similar.

Little gray bird: “…”

Is this the focus?

For a moment, it felt that all the mistresses on the street could get Jiang Liujing's attention, but it alone couldn't. It curled up on Jiang Liujing's shoulder in anger and frustration.

The bird, which was not very big to begin with, shrank up and almost disappeared from the spot. Only the sound could confirm its existence: "Daddy, you haven't told me yet, why are you lying to me? You obviously have light magic."

It's a bit embarrassing to mention this.

Jiang Liujing didn't expect that it could actually sense the power he had hidden.

When Sang Mo helped him cover up the extra magic attributes, he didn't cover up all of the light attributes, but only hid a part of it. However, normally no one could feel it without help.

This little gray bird was gifted and could see through him at a glance.

He sighed and said, "You already know I'm lying to you, can't you figure out why?"

The little gray bird was silent.

Why? Of course it knows the reason.

"...You don't want to make a contract with me." It said slowly, its voice lowered and even sadder.

"Why? Daddy, don't you like me?"

Thinking of what the male human had said earlier, and recalling the inherited memory that "most humans are obsessed with looks", it seemed to realize something and said hurriedly, "I'm indeed not very good-looking now, but I will be very beautiful in the future!"
