Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

The possessiveness in her words made it seem as if the person standing opposite her was a mistress trying to steal her husband away.

The sudden change in art style left everyone bewildered. What happened to Yangyang?

“The Beast Tamer is mine,” Shi Qing retorted, tilting her head. Shi Qing clearly disliked Long Yangyang's words, and with her arms outstretched, water arrows condensed behind her.

In Shi Qing's ocean-blue pupils, a flash of blue light appeared, and thousands of water arrows swung, pointing directly at Long Yangyang, as she reiterated: "Beast Tamer, you are mine."

"Hiss—" The cold, vertical pupils of the silver candle blazed with a chilling light. They've snatched its master away! Did they even ask for its opinion? The thick, dark fog mercilessly swallowed up the thousands of water arrows.

"Nothing special." Shi Qing didn't care about the swallowed water arrows at all. He snapped his fingers with his left hand, and tens of thousands of water arrows reappeared.

It's just a small, somewhat capable reptile, without any inheritance. How can it compare to a born divine beast like him?

Fu Muyu and the others, who were initially a bit out of the loop, probably realized that the merfolk had their eyes on their abilities.

Fu Muyu was still exploring his beast-taming ability and didn't know what the merman in front of him wanted to do by stopping him.

But when Fu Muyu looked at Long Yangyang, who was protecting him, he knew that Yangyang understood.

"what happened?"

Long Yangyang pouted: "This merman is almost an adult. He wants you to help him, but he doesn't want to become your contracted beast. He wants to kidnap you and get something for nothing."

Long Yangyang glared at Shi Qing, "I don't know where this merman came from. Didn't your mother teach you that there's no such thing as a free lunch? No way! Brother Fu won't let you take me away."

"You're doing alright following Brother Fu," Long Yangyang secretly assessed Shi Qing's strength. "He's only a cub, not even an adult yet, and he's already at the peak of level five. When he comes of age, his strength will multiply, and he'll definitely be stronger than he is now."

If not now, when?

Although Shi Qing had inherited memories, he had just awakened. He knew every word Long Yangyang said, but he didn't understand the meaning of some of them. What did "freebie" mean? What was lunch? How could a beast tamer be a white wolf? Beast races could not awaken beast taming talents.

He just wanted to hitch a ride with the beast tamers to get through adulthood, so why is it so difficult?

The beastmen are straightforward and value martial prowess, so when Shi Qing encountered one, he planned to simply snatch the beast tamer away.

Upon discovering that the opponent had a mutated giant python of similar strength, he arranged for his henchman, a mutated megalodon, to intercept it.

Unexpectedly, there was also Long Yangyang as a roadblock, and the Beast Tamer himself was not weak.

Long Yangyang winked at Fu Muyu, signaling him to let her handle the merfolk matter.

Fu Muyu nodded, took a half step back, and let Long Yangyang handle it, since Long Yangyang had personally admitted that he was hers.

If there is any danger, this distance is just right to support Long Yangyang.

“Little mermaid, if you want Brother Fu to help you come of age, you can make a contract with Brother Fu,” Long Yangyang suggested.

"A contract?" Shi Qing shook his head without hesitation and refused, "I will never allow myself to be like this little reptile, acknowledging humans as my masters."

His inherited memories told him that humans were treacherous, cunning, and insatiable. They, the merfolk, were treasures from head to toe. If he were to be bound by a human contract, he would be enslaved forever, living a life worse than death.

He wasn't like that little snake, foolishly bound to a human contract, not even by a beast tamer.

"Why? Because the contract with Brother Fu is very good. I have food and drink, companions to help me when I encounter danger, and I can return to the Beast Taming Space to rest and heal when I am injured."

If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, Brother Fu will help you, especially since you're not yet an adult. After the contract is formed, with Brother Fu's help, it might even increase the concentration of your bloodline.

Long Yangyang detailed the benefits of the contract.

“No, I like freedom,” Shi Qing replied. He didn’t like being bound, and he didn’t want to work for humans. “Give me the Beast Tamer.”

Shi Qing raised another huge wave, intending to launch a strong attack. The megalodon in the river quickly swam up behind Shi Qing, eyeing him menacingly, waiting for Shi Qing's command to attack directly.

"Little mermaid, are you stupid? Haven't you heard that forced love is never sweet? Even if you manage to steal Brother Fu away, why do you think Brother Fu will wholeheartedly help you through adulthood?"

"The adulthood of merfolk is extremely dangerous, isn't it? Aren't you afraid that Brother Fu might harm you then?"

Seeing Shi Qing lost in thought because of her words, Long Yangyang persuaded her again, "It's different when you make a contract with Brother Fu. After the contract, you'll be one of us, and we'll definitely do our best to help you get through adulthood."

As for the freedom you mentioned, we have never restricted Yinzhu's freedom since it started following Brother Fu.

"If you don't want to be enslaved by Brother Fu, your merfolk clan has a tradition; don't you have any equal contracts?"

Shi Qing was clearly tempted by the benefits promised by Long Yangyang. There would be food and drink, and she could even help with healing and cultivation. It was really good.

Upon hearing the other party mention the equal contract, he realized, "Yes, he can sign an equal contract with the beast tamer."

"If I choose the contract, will you really help me get through adulthood?" Shi Qing asked again.

He didn't know why he woke up here. He was about to enter adulthood and needed a lot of energy. The resources in his space were limited and might not be enough for him to safely get through adulthood.

Just then, Long Yangyang and her group happened to pass by. He sensed the beast tamer's aura and wanted to snatch the beast tamer away.

“After you form a contract with Brother Fu, you will be our companion, and we will definitely do our best to help you.” Long Yangyang nodded affirmatively.

“Alright, let’s sign the contract.” Shi Qing used his mental power to condense a light blue mental imprint. “Beast Tamer, implant your mental imprint and you can sign an equal contract.”

Fu Muyu nodded, and the two sides quickly reached an equal agreement.

"Fu Muyu, Long Yangyang, Qiu Ling, Yun Cangshu, Bai Zhi." Fu Muyu introduced his teammates to Shi Qing one by one, "Yinzhu, Miaomiao, Yuyu."

"Shi Qing."

Fu Muyu learned from Shi Qing that by imprinting his spiritual mark on the Silver Candle Crystal Core, he had signed a master-servant contract, which imposed extremely harsh constraints on beasts.

With a single thought, he could decide the life or death of Silver Candle; if its master died, Silver Candle would be buried with him.

An equal contract is different. The two parties to the contract are relatively equal. Although the beast tamer is still the main player, if the master dies, the contractor will only be injured.

As long as Shi Qing has no intention of betraying Fu Muyu, the contract will not have much binding force on Shi Qing.

"Shi Qing, since you've chosen to leave with us and enter the Beast Taming Space?" Long Yangyang's gaze fell on Shi Qing's silvery-white fish tail.

Shi Qing raised her hand and created a water curtain. After the water curtain fell, a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a silver retro robe appeared before everyone's eyes. Shi Qing's fish tail had turned into human legs, and she looked no different from a human.
