The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Night. By the campfire.

Most of the elves who were patrolling outside have returned. Young men and women are dancing around the campfire hand in hand, singing as they dance.

It was the first time for everyone present to hear the elves' singing. The voice was just as rumored by the outside world, with a power that could bring peace of mind.

Although the elves' main target of comfort was the other fantasy beasts, the humans present felt that they had also been comforted, so they simply called out a few of the contracted fantasy beasts and gave them some mental healing.

Bang bang bang bang, the open space suddenly became crowded.

The total number of phantom beasts owned by the five people has exceeded ten, of which Jiang Liujing alone has contributed four, not including his fire-type phantom beast.

The opposite of this is red hanging zero.

Several people looked at the empty ground beside Chi, and suddenly they all realized that Chi, the guy who was rampant in the Magic Warrior Academy, had never even made a contract with a fantasy beast!

"Can you two balance it out?"

Mo Ya looked at the crowd around Jiang Liujing: tigers, birds, mermaids, everything that swam in the water, ran on the ground, and flew in the sky. Looking back, Chi felt like a lonely man. He couldn't help but complain.

"I hate fantasy beasts." Chi said in a cold voice, without blinking, and was alone and carefree.

"Really? But I always feel that you hate humans more." Vita looked at the equator.

His intuition has always been accurate. In the past, because Chi was the person closest to Jiang Liujing, Vita observed him a lot, and found that this guy seemed to be an anthropologist.

This is terrifying, but Vita has never seen Chi look good to any human other than Jiang Liujing.

Chi glanced at him indifferently when he heard this, and said unwaveringly: "I hate both of them."

Mo Ya reached out a hand from behind and pulled Vita back, who was about to question him. He covered his face in pain and said, "Enough, stop asking. No matter how many people or beasts are present, he only has Xiao Jing in his eyes. Why do you have to ask him this?"

Vita, whose mouth was pressed, said: "Mmmmm!"

Jiang Liujing coughed awkwardly. He felt that what Mo Ya said was strange, but it seemed to be true.

Ajin transformed into a tiger's body and served as a furry cushion for him behind him.

After reverting to its original form, its golden fur had turned a pale milky white, its sturdy body majestic yet beautiful. At this moment, it half-closed its eyes to listen to the elves singing, and from time to time, it lowered its head to glance at Jiang Liujing as if it was a little bored.

When the children grew up and no longer came to ride on its back or roll around, Ajin felt a little inexplicably lost.

It wasn't focused, as the elves' songs had little effect on a phantom beast of Ajin's level. It did have a calming effect, but forcing calm during a frenzy was something only the Great Elder could achieve.

As Ajin thought about it, he gently bumped Jiang Liujing's arm with his big head. The boy's slender body after growing up was no different from his small appearance seven years ago. They were both children.

Jiang Liujing turned his head and saw a pair of golden tiger eyes staring at him.

If this wasn't his own mythical beast, Jiang Liujing would have been frightened by it. The piercing gaze was as if it wanted to eat him up like a dish.

There was no direct verbal communication, but Jiang Liujing understood its meaning from its eyes: "Do you want to hear me sing?"

Ajin nodded.

Jiang Liujing thought about it and felt that this wish could be fulfilled.

However, there were too many strangers present, so Jiang Liujing did not intend to use magic. He simply leaned against Ajin's tiger body and hummed softly.

There were no lyrics, just a simple tune. He was humming the lullaby that Chi had once sung for him. Amid the laughter and singing of the elves nearby, their world enjoyed a small, exclusive tranquility.

The moment the familiar tune sounded, Chi turned his head as if he had been electrocuted.

He was surprised, not only because Jiang Liujing could perfectly reproduce the melody of the lullaby after just that one night, but also because it was clearly the same song, not a single syllable different, but the singing that came out of Jiang Liujing's throat felt completely different from his own.

The lullaby he and his people sang was the sea that calmed down after the storm, the clear blue sky after the storm, and the ancient forest that returned to silence after experiencing vicissitudes of life, carrying the heaviness and tranquility accumulated over the years.

However, the lullaby hummed by Jiang Liujing reminded people of the moonlight covering the sea like broken silver.

Clear and bright, with eternal purity and gentleness.

It was as if I was being gently embraced by a pair of invisible arms. All my fatigue and pain fell asleep in that vast tenderness.

Jiang Liujing habitually hummed a song with his eyes closed, and suddenly felt something was wrong while humming.

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see that the lively bonfire party had become quiet without me noticing.

His voice was the only one in the air, accompanied by the crackling sound of the campfire.

Jiang Liujing: "..."

Suddenly stopped awkwardly.

No, why are so many people looking at him?

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

Hundreds of elves' gazes fell on him, some curious, some surprised, and some anxious—

One of the elves had already closed his eyes and was shaking his head in ecstasy. Suddenly, the song was interrupted. He became anxious and opened his eyes to urge Jiang Liujing, "Keep singing!"

Ajin also rubbed his arm from behind and let out a low growl, rarely agreeing with the suggestions of other species.

Jiang Liujing tugged at its ears, signaling it to stop making noise. He then waved to the elves, "I'll just sing a few lines, you guys continue."

Seeing that some people were still refusing to give up, he grabbed Israel and lifted her up into the air, saying, "My bird can sing too. If you still want to hear it, you can let it sing."

Yisel, who rarely behaved himself but was innocently implicated, turned around and stared at him: "?"

Daddy, why are you such a daddy?

But in the end, Jiang Liujing was unable to persuade them, because the elves and mythical beasts present all expressed that they wanted to hear him sing.

The elves even compromised and said that if Jiang Liujing sang a song, they could also teach him other music scores of the elven tribe.

"Each of these songs has a different effect. You won't lose anything if you learn them!" they shouted to him.
