The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Outside the arena.

Transparent light screens, like miracles descending from the sky, were spread across designated venues in the Principality of Visa, broadcasting the situation of the contestants on the island in real time.

There are both panoramic light screens and individual light screens for each player, which display the progress of the competition in all directions.

Countless spectators from all over the world have already filled these venues. A single spot here has been sold at a sky-high price, soaring from the initial ten gold coins to one hundred, one thousand, and even ten thousand, but in the end it was still out of stock.

Even compared to previous years, the excitement surrounding this year's competition was incredibly high. Every venue was buzzing with people.

The audience stared at the light screen intently, even more excited than the contestants on the screen.

"I bet 500 gold coins on the first-place talent. He's sure to take first place!"

"Are you out of date? Didn't you hear about the recent big incident? I think the number one player will be replaced this year."

"It's boring to have the Imperial Magic Academy be number one every year. Let other academies take over as the top. I think the Wings of Glory Academy is pretty good."

"The rankings are based on strength, not fun. Fun people, just get out of here."

……

A large number of people means a mixed crowd.

Even if a wanted criminal who would cause a bloody storm as soon as he appeared in the crowd, no one would be able to realize it.

The gray hood covered the white hair on his head. He appeared suddenly, like a shadow under the light. No one noticed him from the moment he entered to the moment he blended into the crowd.

The person who came stood silently in front of one of the light curtains.

The popularity of the contestant can actually be seen from the number of spectators gathered in front of his personal light screen, and the place where he is is also one of the most crowded places in the whole venue, with almost no space for people to stand.

The old man raised his head slightly, and the figure of the young man was clearly reflected in his pupils.

Shedding the childish innocence of childhood, the boy’s figure possesses an unparalleled beauty, attracting the attention and gaze of others wherever he is.

Like the twinkling stars in the dark night, people unconsciously follow and yearn for them.

It also made him feel it clearly.

His Miaomiao has grown up.

The child who was once not even as tall as his knees and could only nestle in his arms like a snow-white dumpling, asking him to carry him home, has suddenly become a shining being who guides others forward.

He completely missed the growth phase.

A look of loss just appeared in the old man's eyes, and he frowned suddenly when he saw the young man fall into the water.

In such cold weather, the contestant lost his magic and fell into the sea. The rest of the audience could only complain, "How cruel!", but Xing Yue keenly sensed a malicious intent.

Being thrown into the sea doesn't eliminate any contestant. Those who make it here are elite, and even if they can't make it, they have their companions to help. However, it does increase the risk of illness for those with fragile bodies.

Sure enough, Jiang Liujing was very quiet when he was in the sea.

Xing Yue could tell at a glance that this was a sign that he was suppressing his discomfort.

Jiang Liujing has been like this since he was a child. When nothing happens, he will make a big fuss and everyone in the family, including the fantasy beasts outside, will know about it. But when something really happens, he will keep it to himself.

The old man's judgmental gaze gradually shifted to the person next to Jiang Liujing. Seven years had passed, and the little red-haired boy had grown into a big red-haired boy, but his clinging nature didn't seem to have diminished at all.

After seeing him take decisive action to use his body temperature to warm Jiang Liujing, Xing Yue nodded with satisfaction.

It's okay, not too stupid.

Miaomiao is weak, so she needs more care at this time.

Then he heard bursts of screams from the audience next to him, and the female voices seemed particularly loud.

Before Xing Yue could understand what they were shouting, he heard excited whispers from the crowd: "I said they were a couple!"

"They must be together!"

Xing Yue: "..."

Xing Yue: "???????"

What pair?

Who is with whom?

What are they talking about?

An inexplicable ominous premonition filled his heart. Xing Yue's breathing became heavier. He randomly found the screaming girl closest to him and asked in a low voice, "Who were you talking about just now? A couple?"

The girl didn't even turn around, staring intently at the screen: "Jiang Liujing and Chi! Look, they're hugging each other! If this isn't a couple, what is?"

Xing Yue was silent.

Hugging each other makes them a couple?

It's just a means of keeping warm.

He retorted, "Then they could be brothers."

The girl didn't care much about him at first, but she got angry after he refuted her.

She turned her head to look at the strange old man whose appearance was completely covered by the hood, and silently swallowed her anger. She still had the qualities of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

She said unhappily, "What do you know, Jiang Liujing? I've been his fan for seven years!"

Xing Yue: "."

You may not believe it, but I raised him for eight years.

I was the one who cleaned up the mess when your idol wet his pants as a child.

But he could also see that the girl's thoughts were not shaken at all by his words.

It wasn't just her, it was the same for everyone else who looked over here.

Xing Yue was even surprised to find that only a small number of people believed as much as he did that the two of them just had a good relationship.

Xing Yue: What is going on in this world?

He was completely unaware that his grandfather was experiencing extreme mood swings and had reached the point of disillusionment due to his relationship with Chi. Jiang Liujing was tightly hugged by Chi and looked for a place to shelter from the wind.

The young man's body was scorching hot like a natural fire. Jiang Liujing only stayed on him for a while, and most of the wet marks were dried up, and his body gradually returned to normal temperature.

They found a huge reef, and Chi demonstrated his physical fitness to break large rocks with his bare hands. With one punch, the complete oval stone was shattered inward by one third, and a space that could block the wind was forcibly carved out.

At that moment, everyone looked at him not only in shock, but as if he were a monster.

Although they had been calling him by this term a long time ago, Chi always made them feel the definition of the word "monster" more deeply.

As the debris flew everywhere, Mo Ya quietly moved away and whispered to Anderwei, who was also a top magic warrior next to him, "Can you do this?"

Andrew looked at him speechlessly.

"I am human."
