Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Su Yang and his companion returned to the street, but did not dispel their disguises. They began selecting food on the street. Although war had broken out on the island, life in Bailu City seemed to be unaffected. As things stood, only the variety of food was slightly less than before, but overall there was still a wide variety available.

The two looked around, and Die'er wanted to buy everything. Even though she didn't need to eat, she wanted to buy every pretty little snack she saw. Su Yang wanted to indulge her little hobby, but unfortunately, the outbreak of war had caused prices to skyrocket. Food prices were no longer what they were in peacetime, so Su Yang had to give up. During this time, he took a fancy to the meat of a ferocious beast. According to the shopkeeper, this beast was called the Mad Fire Beast. Its meat was delicious, and eating it could accelerate blood flow and produce a certain substance in the body that could also aid in self-healing.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately realized that this was exactly what Lin Anlan needed. Firstly, she was currently healing, and secondly, meat should be nutritious. He immediately asked the shopkeeper to cut some meat, and then took it to a small restaurant, ordered two dishes, and asked the shopkeeper to process the meat he had just bought from the Mad Fire Beast. Finally, he packed it all up and took it back to the inn.

"Hahaha, I'm back!" Die'er laughed heartily as soon as she entered the room, seemingly delighted by her trip. Su Yang followed her into the room, where Lin Anlan was sitting on the bed, gently stroking the rock beast egg she was holding. She smiled at Su Yang and said, "You're back."

The scene made Su Yang feel awkward. It looked like a wife comforting her child, and the joy she felt upon seeing her husband return. Su Yang placed the meat he had brought back in front of Lin Anlan and said, "I don't know if it suits your taste, but I thought meat would be more nutritious. You should try it."

"Okay." Lin Anlan placed the Rock Beast Egg on her lap, took the meat Su Yang handed her, and took a bite.

"It tastes pretty good."

Hearing Lin Anlan say the taste was pretty good, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried it wouldn't suit his taste, but now it looked alright. Lin Anlan ate a few more bites before asking, "What kind of meat is this? It tastes quite good."

"Oh, the shopkeeper said this is meat from a raging fire beast, and that it's good for healing. I thought you were injured, so I bought it," Su Yang replied truthfully.

After hearing this, Lin Anlan remained silent for a while, seemingly thinking about something, before saying, "Oh, no wonder it's so delicious." He then began to eat heartily again, and soon only a little bit remained. Die'er, who was looking at the scenery by the window, suddenly seemed to remember something important and turned around sharply, saying, "Oh dear! How could I forget? Lin Anlan can't eat the meat of the Mad Fire Beast!" With that, she rushed to the bedside, snatched the bowl from Lin Anlan's hand, and saw that there was hardly any meat left.

"Oh no, oh no, how could you eat so much? Don't you know you can't eat the meat of the Fiery Beast?" Die'er said, somewhat annoyed.

"What's wrong? Why can't we eat it?" Su Yang was bewildered. He looked at Die'er on the left and Lin Anlan on the right. The former was somewhat annoyed and regretful, while the latter lowered her head and remained silent. He didn't know much about this world and only knew that this meat was definitely bad for Lin Anlan. He had done something wrong.

Seeing Su Yang ask a question, Die'er explained, "The meat of the Raging Fire Beast has a special ability. When ordinary humans eat it, it accelerates blood flow and can also produce a certain substance in the body that enhances mental strength. To a certain extent, it can assist in treatment, but that only applies to humans. Lin Anlan is not human. You forgot that she is a demon. The meat of the Raging Fire Beast is practically poison to demons. A small amount will only cause internal injuries, while a large amount can even cause a demon to directly enter a demonized state. It's my fault for only remembering this now."

After hearing this, Su Yang stood up abruptly and looked at Lin Anlan with concern, asking, "Anlan, how are you feeling now? Should we...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Anlan spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was steaming and seemed to be boiling. The sight startled Su Yang. Looking closer, he saw that Lin Anlan was all red, her face was contorted in pain, she was leaning forward, and she was clutching her abdomen with both hands, as if she was in unbearable pain.

"What should we do?" Su Yang was at a loss and could only ask Die'er for help. Die'er was also anxious. She had only seen demons die after eating the flesh of the raging fire beast, but she had never seen how to treat them. She said anxiously, "I don't know either. I have never seen how to treat them."

As blood continued to spill from Lin Anlan's mouth, staining the blankets and sheets a large crimson, the scene was extremely horrifying. Su Yang and the others were frantic, unsure of what to do. Su Yang got up and ran to the door, hoping to seek help from the healer among the adventurers. Just as he opened the door, a strange movement occurred inside the room. Su Yang turned around and saw that the blood from Lin Anlan's mouth was dripping onto the egg of the Rock-Beast. The egg seemed to absorb the blood, constantly shaking, and all the jagged rocks on its shell fell off. With a "crack," the egg shattered completely, and a small Rock-Beast sat quietly inside the remaining shell, its mouth open, licking the blood dripping from Lin Anlan's mouth. As it continued to absorb the blood, the cracks in its originally gray skin slowly turned into a lava-like color, and then into a blood-red hue.

As its skin completely changed color, the Rock Beast cub opened its eyes, stood up, took a step or two, and sat down in Lin Anlan's arms. Then, the blood on the blankets and sheets seemed to come alive, slowly contracting around Lin Anlan, gradually forming a blood sphere that enveloped Lin Anlan and the Rock Beast cub.

"It's a blood pact."

Just as Su Yang was standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened, Die'er spoke up to explain.

What is a blood pact?

"The Demon Clan's Spirit Beast Contract Signing Ceremony." Die'er seemed relieved: "It seems she can be saved."

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Lin Anlan could be saved. Although he didn't know how the demon blood pact worked, at least Lin Anlan's life could be saved.

Inside the blood sphere, Lin Anlan was in a daze. The high temperature inside her body made her feel as if she were near magma. With her eyes opening and closing, she entered the spiritual world. It was a scorching place with strange rocks standing everywhere and magma flowing all around. She looked around and didn't know where she was. At this moment, a rock-rending beast cub jumped out from behind a rock, its round eyes staring at Lin Anlan. It slowly approached her, sniffed her, and then pounced into Lin Anlan's arms, making her stumble.

Lin Anlan recognized it as the hatchling from the egg of the Rock-Beast. He reached out and touched it. The moment his hand touched the hatchling, the surrounding magma instantly shot into the sky, forming walls of fire that gradually gathered above his head and then charged towards Lin Anlan.
