The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Crash.

The cold wind hit the glass violently, splashing a cloud of fine snow mist.

Hot steam rolled out from the white porcelain cup, covering the world in front of him with a layer of white gauze.

Jiang Liujing gently stirred the hot milk tea in the cup with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip, while the young man's elegant chuckle came to his ears.

Gu Lian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at him leisurely.

"How about the new products developed by the store?"

"It's too sweet." Jiang Liujing put down the cup and commented truthfully.

Gu Lian looked at him in surprise: "I remember you liked sweets a lot. Why did you suddenly change your taste?"

For a moment, Gu Lian suspected that his subordinates had collected intelligence incorrectly, but he quickly rejected this idea.

He had observed Jiang Liujing eating, and Jiang Liujing's preference for desserts at that time was real.

Jiang Liujing couldn't answer Gu Lian's question.

He lowered his head and stared at the pure white ripples in the cup that swirled toward the wall. Through the smooth surface of the liquid, he saw his blurry face.

It’s true that Jiang Liujing likes sweets, but when he went to the store in the past, there would always be someone watching over him.

Whenever he ate too much, the man would firmly hold down his hand as he tried to continue eating and tell him, "That's enough."

Jiang Liujing felt annoyed with him and turned around to yell at him, but that man would grab his bitter drink and pour it into Jiang Liujing's mouth.

Seeing him covering his mouth, his facial features were tightly wrinkled, and he cursed him incoherently, thinking that Jiang Liujing couldn't see it, he secretly raised his lips.

annoying.

Jiang Liujing lowered his eyes.

But when he was not around, the foods that I used to love and even wanted to eat secretly suddenly became tasteless.

Gu Lian didn't know why, just because he asked casually, the aura of the handsome boy in front of him suddenly became low, like a small flower that was suddenly drenched by heavy rain and wilted.

He thought for a moment and asked, "That guy... Chi, has he been out and hasn't come back yet?"

Jiang Liujing tightened his grip on the cup handle with his fingers and let out a low "hmm" sound from his throat.

Gu Lian felt that he had guessed the reason.

A sudden bitterness welled up in my heart.

Although I didn't have too much hope in the beginning and had already prepared myself to be law-abiding, it was still hard to see that the person I liked cared more about another man.

The only thing that could comfort him was probably that Jiang Liujing still firmly believed that he and Chi were brothers.

He is selfish after all. He has no chance of getting someone, so he doesn't want others to get him.

Gu Lian lowered his eyebrows and fiddled with the beads in his hand. "Did he tell you what he was doing outside? I shouldn't have issued any tasks to the school recently."

Gu Lian had previously recruited so many students to go to the Canglong Mountains at once, and he had paid a large sum of money as their remuneration. He had no plans to issue new tasks in the short term.

Including the fact that he came to see Jiang Liujing today, it was also to finish the last mission. Jiang Liujing said that he had found the source of life but could not control it, so Gu Lian brought him the Fengshengmu.

After all, he trusted Jiang Liujing's character, so Gu Lian directly entrusted the artifact worth tens of millions to him and asked him to repair it when he was able to control it.

After hearing Gu Lian's words, Jiang Liujing became even more depressed.

When Chi left, he only said he would be gone for a few days. Jiang Liujing was so mysterious that he thought Chi was really planning to prepare some birthday surprise for him (scary).

The reality is that after Chi left, there was no news for nearly two weeks.

Even though tomorrow is Jiang Liujing's birthday, he hasn't come back yet.

I had promised to come back before his birthday.

"You don't keep your word." Jiang Liujing moved his lips and said softly while looking at his reflection in the water.

Before Chi left, he told Jiang Liujing that he didn't need to look for him, and that he would come back on his own. Jiang Liujing kept his promise and knew that his life was not in danger, so he didn't even sense his location once.

He was a good boy, so he followed the agreement and let Chi practice his secrets.

But he won't always be a good kid.

Jiang Liujing's eyes turned slightly cold. Tonight was the final deadline. If Chi couldn't make it back, he would be doomed.

After the birthday, if Chi Ruo still hadn't returned, Jiang Liujing would set out to catch this guy who was fooling around somewhere unknown.

How should I punish him... Jiang Liujing vaguely remembered that there were still a large number of whips and shackles stuffed into his space props by Xing Yue.

There has been no chance to use it for so many years.

But now, it seems someone wants to give them some practical value.

Gu Lian just blinked a few times, and the young man in front of him, who was originally depressed, suddenly changed his demeanor and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The hidden meaning in that smile gave even the experienced Gu Lian a chill. He turned away with a shiver on his face, fearing he would become an innocent victim.

I lit a candle for the person out of a rare pity.

After all these years, didn't Chi know his personality clearly? How could he dare to break this ancestral agreement?

The night is getting darker.

Jiang Liujing stayed in the villa lobby for a while, then said goodbye to the others, got up and went upstairs, leaving his roommates looking at each other in bewilderment.

"There are still four hours." Chu Zhou glanced at the clock hanging in the living room and said solemnly.

They all knew what day tomorrow was. In fact, there were already a lot of people coming to their door tonight to deliver gifts in advance.

Mo Ya coughed and said, "It was supposed to be a happy day, but now..."

They all looked up at the clock in tacit understanding, observing the distance between the hour hand and the vertical line at twelve o'clock, as if they were watching the countdown to Chi's death.

Mo Ya couldn't understand it. If this happened to anyone else, he wouldn't be so surprised. But: "This is Chi?"

In this villa, even in this school and this country, Mo Ya couldn't think of anyone else who cared about Jiang Liujing more than Chi.

It was simply unimaginable that he would stand Jiang Liujing up.

"Maybe he was held back by something." Wen Xun rarely refrained from adding insult to injury and said with a frown, "But what could possibly have stopped him?"

With Chi's combat capability, even if he is not at the top level, he will definitely have no problem running rampant in most places.

As long as he didn't deliberately provoke those legendary monsters, who could have held him back for so long? Wen Xun couldn't figure it out.

In the room, Jiang Liujing sat on the bed.

The two birds, one on each side, were clinging to his arms, each one unusually quiet, their mouths shut as if afraid to disturb him. Only the warmth of their warmth passed through their skin, and if Jiang Liujing hadn't lowered his head, he would have thought he was holding two heavy down hot water bottles.

"I'm fine." Jiang Liujing said as he gently touched the backs of the two birds.

Even if Chi really had something urgent to do and couldn't come back, Jiang Liujing wouldn't be too angry. After all, a birthday was just a slightly special day for him, and he didn't care whether he celebrated it or not.

What made him even more unhappy was that so many days had passed and Chi hadn't contacted him once.

The voice on the other side of the contract was unilaterally cut off.

"Daddy, it's okay, we are here to accompany you." Yisel rubbed his wrist with his little head as if to comfort him, and in his heart he was planning a strategy to take the opportunity to drive Chi off the throne of the family among the fantasy beasts.

Dahei cackled twice to show his agreement.

If Chi didn't catch up, it would laugh "hahaha" three times at him to show its mockery.

They were so fierce in snatching Miaomiao on weekdays that they were unwilling to give any time to other fantasy beasts. As a result, at the critical moment, they were the only ones left.

But its laughter never came out.

With only ten minutes left until midnight, Jiang Liujing suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The two birds in his arms were awakened from their sleep by the movement of his arm. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they heard a loud "bang" from the side of the room.

When I turned around, I saw that the windows in the room were suddenly wide open for some reason, and the two sides hit the wall due to the huge force.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes rushed in from the dark cave, and with it came an extremely strong aura of oppression that frightened the beast so much that it almost wanted to kneel down.

It only appeared for a few brief breaths before disappearing, but it was enough to make its presence felt.

The big black pupils shrank slightly, and the body stopped uncontrollably because of the breath, as if it was pressed by an extremely heavy rock. The next moment, the whole bird fell from the air onto the bed.

It was stunned for a second, then turned around and saw Iser not far away, who had also fallen on the bed. Obviously, it had encountered the same thing.

The two birds looked at each other across the pillow, and then looked to the side.

The entire big bed was now bare except for the bedding and there were only the two of them.

wrong.

Where is Miaomiao?

The young man who was originally beside them suddenly disappeared without a trace. Dahei and Yiser instantly woke up as if their heads were drenched in ice water. They cried out, flapped their wings, and flew up, hurriedly chasing after the boy towards the window.

They didn't even see what took Jiang Liujing away, but that thing must have come in through the window.
