The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"By the way, we have counted the amount of the potion you requested and placed it in the space prop."

Estes took out a space ring and handed it to Jiang Liujing. The king and the duke stood together, but it was the king who was cautious, completely lacking his usual dignity and arrogance.

In comparison, Jiang Liujing was much more casual. He nodded and took it, saying, "Just deduct the required gold coins from my name. You know the account number."

Estes waved his hands helplessly, as if begging him to let him go.

"I can't accept this money unless I want to be buried under the documents of impeachment. But why are you suddenly preparing such a large quantity of alchemical potions? Are you giving it to a friend?"

He remembered that the intelligence mentioned that Jiang Liujing had made many friends at school, but compared to the number he required, it was still much less.

Estes was very curious about Jiang Liujing's motives, but he didn't dare to dig deeper. If it weren't for his good relationship with Jiang Liujing, he wouldn't even ask.

Jiang Liujing raised his eyes and looked directly at Estes, without any intention of hiding anything. He said frankly, "I do want to give it to some friends, but they are not human."

Estes was stunned when he heard this, and then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a faint smile: "It's for your partner and his subordinates."

Today, Chi and his army of fantasy beasts are famous throughout this continent, but this fame is like a double-edged sword, with both good and bad reputations.

As a fighting force, they were clearly formidable, but they were still unable to resist the Black Mist's contamination. At a time when human nations were mired in crisis and struggling to take care of themselves, who would care about the safety of those mythical beasts?

But Jiang Liujing still remembers it.

Just being remembered by him is a treatment worth a thousand other things.

Estes sighed enviously and winked at Jiang Liujing jokingly: "When everything is over, are you and that person going to hold a ceremony?"

"Ceremony?" Jiang Liujing was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this. "What ceremony?"

Estes said matter-of-factly, "A wedding? Haven't you already announced your relationship to the world? In human society, a wedding is a necessary act to officially become a couple. Even though one of you is human and the other a mythical beast, I imagine the one who has lived in the human world for so many years wouldn't object to such an event, right?"

The successful man with a beautiful wife and many outstanding children looked at him with expectations and encouragement.

Jiang Liujing: "..."

I inexplicably felt that the light from this man was so dazzling.

He turned his head away silently. "We're still in a special period. Isn't it a bit early to talk about this?"

Estes disagreed. "Precisely because we are in these special times, it's necessary to plan events like this early. Your wedding is bound to attract the attention of everyone on the mainland, and it will also serve as an opportunity to restore everyone's confidence in life. This will be a very important event!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly his voice became louder, "Why not just make that day a holiday?"

"Festival?" Jiang Liujing was even more shocked.

"Yes." Estes nodded, "So that more people will remember who brought them out of this disaster."

His eyes locked onto Jiang Liujing, revealing a deep emotion. Even though the Divine Religion was now defunct in name only, the God of Law remained the light of faith and hope in the hearts of the people.

Estes knew that people longed for a new way to thank and remember their gods, and this wedding was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity.

He hopes that in this way, he can let the God of Law know that although there is darkness and a painful side among humans, there are also countless people who sincerely love and believe in Him.

When He looks down at the world again, what He hears will no longer be crying and praying, but sounds of blessings and laughter.

Jiang Liujing felt uncomfortable under Estes's burning gaze, and his whole body felt numb from head to toe. He felt helpless as if he was being urged to get married by his family elders.

He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with him first. Chi doesn't like crowded places. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him."

"Of course." Estes nodded with a smile. "The wishes of both of you are the most important. If the result is confirmed, please be sure to inform us immediately. Ernst will celebrate for you with the whole country!"

Jiang Liujing raised his eyes and glanced at Estes's face. In the man's azure eyes, he saw the words "democracy" written on the left and "freedom" on the right. But when they were put together, they became the glaring words "force marriage."

Jiang Liujing: "..."

Don't stay here for long.

He said goodbye in a hurry and hurried back to the Lost Forest.

Chi had been absorbing the magic power he had given him these days, completing the process that had been interrupted. When Jiang Liujing left, he was still in the light cocoon, and now there was no movement, so Jiang Liujing thought that Chi should not have woken up yet.

But as soon as I walked in, I met a pair of eyes directly.

Those were a pair of scarlet eyes, like burning flames, hot and bright, as if containing endless power, and the flames would burn forever in the darkness.

"I agree," Chi said.

Jiang Liujing: “……?” Agree to what?

Jiang Liujing tightened his grip on the door handle.

He was silent. “I don’t think I’ve said anything yet.”

"I heard it." Chi pointed to his ear, "Contract, monitoring."

A rare expression of joy appeared on his cold yet handsome face, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone, and he spoke more than usual.

"So when is it scheduled? How soon can they finish it? Three days? A week?"

Jiang Liujing's words ruthlessly shattered Chi's fantasy: "First, we have to wait for the disaster apostles to completely disappear. According to the current progress, it will take at least half a year."

Chi's joyful expression suddenly froze on his face.

He slowly stood up. The moment he stood up, his tall and strong body seemed to completely block out the light in the room, casting shadows all over the floor.

His aura subsided like a long-suppressed volcano, and only his red eyes were filled with boiling murderous intent.

"I'm going to burn all those things now." Chi's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.

He had never hated the black fog so much before. In his heart, the black fog was the culprit that blocked his and Jiang Liujing's future.

Jiang Liujing was speechless again when he faced Chi who was in a raging state of anger. He walked into the house silently and placed the space ring in front of Chi.

Chi's gaze followed. Although he knew that the ring was just a prop and that it contained alchemical potions for their use, he still deliberately misinterpreted the ring's purpose.

He first stretched out his slender and powerful fingers, gently pinched the ring, turned it twice in his hand, and then put it on his hand to try the size. Then he raised his head and looked at Jiang Liujing with a look full of special meaning, and said: "Miaomiao, I heard that before human weddings, there is a process of exchanging tokens."

He hadn't finished speaking, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Liujing was clear: So are you proposing to me?

Jiang Liujing immediately saw through Chi's little trick of tricking him into speaking first.

He sneered, reached out and grabbed the tea in front of Chi, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Estes gave it to me, go find him." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Chi leisurely.

As expected, Chi Na's originally handsome face instantly turned green. He looked like he had eaten an unripe sour fruit, which made people laugh.
