The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Jiang Liujing couldn't help but laugh. This little bird must have been really hurt by Qiao's words "ugly", and after taking revenge on the person, it still couldn't forget it.

But the emotions conveyed in its words could not be faked. Jiang Liujing could feel the little gray bird's attachment to him, as well as its dejection after the invitation contract was rejected.

Jiang Liujing's eyes unconsciously softened. He always wanted to return the same kindness to the lives that were kind to him.

He reached out and took the little gray bird from his shoulder back into his palm. Because the eggshell had been crushed by its own foot, the little bird could only stay on the skin of his palm.

He softened his tone and said to it, "You're not ugly, and I don't hate you. But I don't think you belong here. If you sign a contract with me, you won't be able to return to your family."

The little gray bird tilted its head and stared at him with bright eyes: "Daddy, you're so weird. Isn't it true that humans most want to make a contract with a fantasy beast immediately?"

Since a contract is set, it's difficult to break. Ordinary humans are ecstatic to trick a phantom beast into agreeing to a contract. As for whether the phantom beast will regret it in the future? Who cares?

"I'm not your daddy." Jiang Liujing heard it calling him daddy over and over again, and he felt that his eight-year-old shoulders were suddenly burdened with a weight that did not belong to him.

He pinched the little gray bird's head helplessly and said, "Think about what I said quickly. Don't you want to go back to your family?"

The little gray bird shook its head quickly and said with great certainty, "I don't want to."

Jiang Liujing: "..."

Oh no, this is just a very filial bird.

Then the birdie spoke quickly, "They threw me here so I could gain experience and then return to them. A phantom beast can level up faster after forming a contract with a human, so I need to find a powerful human to contract with. You're more powerful than any of these humans, so I chose you. Daddy, are these reasons enough?"

It raised its head with a snap and looked straight at Jiang Liujing.

"...That's enough." The little gray bird had expressed its determination to this extent, and Jiang Liujing had no reason to refuse it anymore.

He sighed softly and said, "In that case, let's make a contract."

The little gray bird chirped cheerfully before soaring into the air, its body instantly emitting a soft glow. At the same time, a bright light emanated from Jiang Liujing's brow.

Sensing the fluctuation of magic power, the teacher, students and Lei Ying who had been waiting for a long time looked up at the same time.

In full view of everyone, a golden rune fell off the bird and flew all the way to the child's forehead.

Once the runes and humans become one, the contract can be successfully concluded.

Suddenly, without warning, a crimson flame appeared from Jiang Liujing's forehead. Accompanied by a burst of violent flames, the falling golden rune was actually deflected!

The moment the contract was interrupted, Jiang Liujing and the little gray bird were both stunned.

The people around were also stunned.

"What's going on?" Qiao asked blankly, "Did the contract fail?"

This situation did not occur when they contracted new fantasy beasts today.

The female teacher shook her head. She had much more experience than these young students, and her expression remained calm at the moment.

She looked at the golden rune that was still floating in front of Jiang Liujing, not disappearing, and seemed a little confused about where to land. She explained, "No, it's rejection. The contract mark of his first contracted beast is there, and it won't allow the new contracted beast to land there."

Luo Wen sighed in confusion. He hadn't learned this in the book before, so he pressed on, "Teacher, will this also happen when we contract a second mythical beast?"

"No," the female teacher said firmly, "Most mythical beasts can coexist with each other, but this one is too domineering... worthy of being a top-tier mythical beast of the fire element."

While watching the match, she had thought Jiang Liujing's Red Flame Qilin seemed good-tempered. But a single contract mark revealed its true nature.

She suddenly realized another problem: Jiang Liujing, as the representative of the Water Academy, had contracted two fantasy beasts in a row, and it seemed that neither of them had the water or wind magic attributes?

For a moment, a funny guess emerged in her mind: Could it be that Jiang Liujing wanted to use his own fantasy beast to form a one-man all-element team?

At the same time, on the other side, a deep male voice also sounded in Jiang Liujing's mind: "Miaomiao."

"Are you making a contract with a new mythical beast?"

Chi's tone of questioning was normal, but Jiang Liujing froze.

Thinking that he had already reported to Chi in the morning, his body gradually relaxed.

"Can you feel it?"

"Yeah." Chi's voice was very low.

Jiang Liujing briefly introduced it: "It's a newly hatched bird, but I don't know its species yet."

Chi didn't ask any more questions. After a pause, he said, "The symbiotic contract between you and me overrides all ordinary contracts. Let the bird move to another place."

The mark of the contract he left on Jiang Liujing was more like the instinct of a beast to occupy territory. Once it was branded, even he could not control it.

At this moment, the mark was continuously conveying information about the invasion of outsiders to Chi. If he forced it down again, Chi would not be able to stop the mark from rioting.

Once it riots, it won't just be a matter of being ejected, the bird's mark will be completely torn apart by him.

Jiang Liujing conveyed the message to the little gray bird.

The little gray bird suddenly opened its eyes wide in mid-air.

It didn't care whether Jiang Liujing had the first fantasy beast or not. But! How could this fantasy beast drive it out and move to another place?

So what if it's a top-tier Fire-type mythical beast? Its bloodline isn't bad, is it? Is it just because it's young?

It cried twice in mid-air in a mournful tone and flapped its wings. For the first time, it felt that it was so difficult to make a contract with humans.

But it didn't want to leave Jiang Liujing, so no matter how reluctant it was, it had to move and control the mark to fall on Jiang Liujing's collarbone.

It likes to lie on Jiang Liujing's shoulder, where it can be closer to its own mark and feel the atmosphere of its territory at all times.

This time, when the golden mark fell, no accidents happened.

The mark sank into the skin, and the light flashed and disappeared. After the contract was successfully completed, both the man and the bird breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s really not easy.

Feeling the sudden clarity of the spiritual connection between himself and the little gray bird after the successful contract, Jiang Liujing couldn't help but smile and waved at it.

Without any hesitation, the little gray bird fluttered directly into his palm and snuggled up to him affectionately.

"Let me give you a name," Jiang Liujing said, examining its appearance. But within a second, he hesitated and rejected the idea, "Hmm... Wait a little longer. I'll take you to meet someone tonight, and then we can pick one."

With his naming skills, the little gray bird will probably have to follow the footsteps of Dahei and Ajin and be called Huihui.

Jiang Liujing decided to go back and consult Chi's opinion.
