Starting With Contract Pets Chapter 193 – So You Are Like This

“You still insisted that you don't have insidious methods. Your duck's wings should have hidden poison, right? That Golden-beaked Thunderbird just sucked a bit and it became like that,” Li Xing said while holding the big trophy that belonged to everyone.

The others also nodded in agreement.

Su Bai: “…”

He knew that he was mired in controversy and in deep waters now, but the Ice Phoenix had been solely responsible for it. He himself did not know how many trump cards the phoenix kept hidden.

It was normal for that lass, with delusions of persecution, to hide a bit of poison in its body.

“You hid it too deeply. What kind of pet is your duck? I feel that its attack is so terrifying.” Zhao Li shook his head.

Chen Ruoxue also glanced at him. It was too scary. The Ice Dragon was obviously born with the Ice Phoenix, but why was the latter so much stronger?

However, if she knew that the phoenix would run out every night to exercise, she would not be so surprised. Even Su Bai admired its perseverance. This might be the benefit of its extreme paranoia.

“I guess the characteristics of the duck should be similar to doubling the power of the second attack, but it shouldn't be as simple as that,” Coach Zhao said with a smile.

“This is a secret; I can't reveal it.” Seeing the curiosity of the others, he shook his head. As for the origin of Purple Jade and the Little Tyrant's primary skills, he naturally could not reveal it, either.

He played with the small trophy in his hand. It was made of amethyst and was very beautiful.

This was the best player trophy. Both he and Chen Ruoxue had one. As for the championship trophy, there was only a huge one, and Li Xing was currently holding it.

“In fact, compared to these, I think the most terrifying is still Purple Jade. Its Thorns Domain is too frightening. Those vines are too strong and grow with a strength equivalent to a monarch monster. It's the biggest reason for the failure of Yang Hai.” Coach Zhao Kong sighed.

The others did not want to talk about this anymore as the big gap in strength just made them feel desperate.

Soon, the group of people returned to the hotel with the trophy. Zhao Li saw the trophy held in Li Xing's arms and slapped his thigh in excitement. “Come on. Let me see the big baby,” he said with a trembling voice.

“There you go.” Li Xing smiled and passed the big baby over.

This trophy was a bloodthirsty dragon, the pet of the boss who held the first National League Tournament.

Apart from this trophy, Su Bai and the others only had one championship ring.

It would take half a month for the bonus to be distributed. According to the agreement at the time, Su Bai and Chen Ruoxue would obtain 350,000,000 each, for a total of 700,000,000.

The other 300,000,000 would be allocated to the club and other players.

This was already agreed upon because there was a big gap between the strengths of each other. They could win the championship almost thanks to the couple. After all, an able man took more.

The others also earned fame and could choose pets from the top-notch cultivation house, as well as participate in the Heavenly King Round-robin Tournament.

Naturally, no one thought that there was any problem.

“Hahaha! This is great! Everyone did amazing; I'm so proud of you.” Tang Long laughed loudly.

“Let's order a takeout. You guys can have a good rest. After dinner, we will leave here to go to the advanced cultivation house to select your pets and return to Cannes. We'll celebrate tonight.” Tang Long put the trophy on the coffee table and spoke again.

Su Bai and the others nodded, thinking that this arrangement was reasonable.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and they all returned to their rooms to take a much-needed rest.

Just as Su Bai walked into the door, Chen Ruoxue slammed the door shut and then slammed him against the wall. She pinched his chin with her small hand and said haughtily, “Tell me: How much strength are you hiding? I'll throw you out today if you don't tell me.”

“I really didn't hide my strength. You don't know that Ice Phoenix. That lass has extreme paranoia; her strength will naturally increase quickly as she exercises day and night.”

Su Bai was quite excited to be pressed against the wall by his girlfriend.

He could not help but kiss her pink lips, which were close to his.

With a bang, she hit his eight packs and glared at him. “Be serious.”

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. Li Xing was shocked to see this scene. Wow, it turned out that Su Bai liked being dominated.

He was like this, huh. No wonder she stood no chance.

“Ah, I'm sorry, I wanna ask if you like candied haws. I didn't do this intentionally. You guys can continue…” She froze for a moment and immediately apologized. Her entire face flushed, and she walked out in a hurry.

She did not even think that the two talents would make out just minutes after entering.

Chen Ruoxue froze, not knowing how to face Li Xing and the others later. Her image had been ruined.

Su Bai was also stunned. He felt worse than Chen Ruoxue, thinking that his image had been completely destroyed.

Chen Ruoxue quickly locked the room from the inside and hammered her fists against his chest. “It's all your fault that my image is ruined. Compensate me…”

He wanted to cry without tears. She had obviously taken the initiative to pin him against the wall, and his image was destroyed even more thoroughly.

Why did it feel so refreshing to have her punch his chest, nonetheless?

Hey, he was not a pervert.

Su Bai shook his head quickly.

“Forget it; I'm ignoring you. I'm so tired.” She stared helplessly at him, then let go of him, and lay in bed. She was completely deflated as if her light and dreams had been lost.

“Would you like me to go out and threaten Li Xing? I'll tie her up and make her cry if she dares to speak out.” He walked over and hugged her small waist.

“B*llsh*t.” She rolled her eyes and placed her long legs over his. “Massage my legs and shoulders.”

“Okay.”

Smiling, Su Bai went to work straight away. Her long legs, covered in her sky-blue jeans, were enough to make him drool.

“I seriously doubt that you have a plug-in cheat. How can you always be better than me?” Chen Ruoxue said angrily.

“Yes, I do have one.” Su Bai chuckled.

“B*llsh*t.”

She rolled her eyes and took out her phone to order takeout.

He massaged her legs while she rubbed his shoulders.

After a while, Su Bai got up and released the pets, ready to feed them lunch.

He thought that they would all run to him and wait for feeding, but this time they did not.

The Little Tyrant, Little Blood Dragon, Purple Jade, and Mewling Fox all stared at the Ice Phoenix at the same time. Upon seeing the unrelenting stares of its four siblings, the phoenix backed away.

“Quack, quack.” Master, please help. They're going to kill me. It yelled as it backed away, looking miserable and desperate.

“Quack.” Brother and sisters, I didn't do anything. I didn't steal food. I really didn't do anything.

When it saw that Su Bai was not coming, it slumped on the ground and kept kowtowing.

“Howl! (▼ヘ▼#)” Say, what is your strength now? If you lie, I will eat you!

The cub put on a vicious expression and glared at the phoenix.

“Roar!” If you don't tell the truth, I'll eat you up! The dino opened its mouth with fierce eyes.

The dragon and fox were also curious.

“Quack, quack.” I'm a low-level commander. Sister Jade, you can rest assured that you will always be my eldest sister, and I will always be obedient to you.

The phoenix begged for mercy while showing off its strength.

Upon learning of its real strength, the other pets stopped terrorizing it.

How did you break through so quickly? the cub asked curiously.

The reason why they came over and questioned the phoenix together was it had shocked them too much. They always thought that it was a weakling at the warlord grade, but it was already a low-level commander on its first fight.

Its speed of breakthrough was much faster than theirs.

“Quack.” I always go out to exercise every night, the phoenix whispered.

The cub and the other pets fell silent upon hearing this. No wonder it had broken through so quickly.

However, it was still too scary, was it not? Did it not rest? Did it not play?

Did this make sense to keep working hard and live like this?

Also, many times, exercising might not bring a breakthrough. Did it really work?

They were shocked and ashamed for a while.

Unlike the others, the phoenix only lived to survive. It just wanted to live forever, so it could only continue improving its strength to protect itself.

The other pets were blank-sheets-of-paper-upon-birth that had gradually understood the world through their perceptions.

Meanwhile, before the phoenix was born, when it had yet to perceive what the whole world was like, its worldview had already been shaped by the memory its mother had imparted to it.

It was a world filled with terrifying monsters. Even its mother at the end of its evolutionary road could die at any time.

Its mother had told it to be cautious, to be careful, and to work hard in improving its strength.

With the establishment of such a worldview, even if everything was normal in this world, its brain would still be filled with horror.

This produced endless spurs to be cautious.

Once this kind of worldview was established, it could not be changed anymore. Even if one day it became invincible, it would still be as cautious, for fear that it would die if it were not careful.

Just like how even if one used an eraser after scribbling on a piece of white paper, it would still leave traces.

“Don't bully the phoenix. What she said is true; I can vouch. You'd all better come over and eat as soon as possible. I've prepared everything for you,” Su Bai looked at his pets and said. He also knew that they were not malicious, so he hence did not stop them, as they would become motivated when they learned of this fact.

The phoenix was a spur that would never stop moving forward.

The other pets remained silent and went over to eat.

He looked at the phoenix shrinking into the corner of the room and shook his head. The pets thought that the phoenix had been frightened into exposing its strength.

However, in fact, this was not the case at all. It had already become a mid-level commander and was about to reach the peak.

Even in the competition, the phoenix had not used its full strength.

“Quack.” Master, you promised not to expose me.

It hurriedly spoke through the spirit transmission upon seeing his expression.

“Don't worry. Hurry up and eat.”

He knelt and patted it.

The pets lay on the coffee table to eat, while he went to the bed.

Chen Ruoxue put her chin on his belly, looked at the phoenix which was eating, and poked him. “Do you think that the phoenix kept a special memory like this for her?”

“…” Su Bai shook his head.

“Then do you think that we can do it?” Chen Ruoxue asked again.

“Yes, we can, but the conditions are very demanding, or it will have filled the streets.” He took advantage of the situation and hugged her small waist.

Pet eggs had basic self-protection, and the entry of external spiritual power would directly destroy their origin.

The difficulty was no less than transforming an alien planet.

“Ah, my heart is tired.” Chen Ruoxue rolled over and sighed.

“Sigh, Yes, my heart is tired, too. Life is not easy.” Su Bai also sighed.

In silence, the two looked at the ceiling.

At this time, Chen Ruoxue's phone rang. As soon as it was connected, their meal was delivered.

“The takeout is here; can you get it?” She looked at him and asked. She was afraid that she would be embarrassed to bump into Li Xing when she went out.

However, Su Bai was even more afraid. He guessed that Li Xing had already regarded him as a pervert, and he was also afraid of bumping into her.

“Husband, go get it, please?” Chen Ruoxue said softly, acting coquettishly with a humble attitude.

“Please, husband.” She gave him a kiss and pushed him forward.

“Okay.” He had to admit that his coquettish girlfriend was irresistible, and he could not handle it at all.

He sighed heavily and walked out of the room, looking around the living room. When he checked that Li Xing was not there, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He went out and took the elevator.

He quickly walked out when the elevator door opened, but suddenly he stopped in his tracks.

Li Xing was inside, and she had stopped the elevator for him.

After thinking about it, he bit the bullet and walked in.

In the empty elevator, the two people stood in different corners.

“Sorry, I just wanted to invite Sister Ruoxue to eat candied haws with you. I forgot to knock on the door. I'm sorry.

“I promise not to tell anyone what I saw.”

After a moment of silence, Li Xing spoke, looking a little flustered.

“No, things aren't what you think.”

“Okay, I understand, I won't tell anyone.”

Su Bai did not want to explain anymore.

Li Xing saw that he had stopped talking, but she could not calm down.

Su Bai was such an excellent person. She could never figure out why he did not develop feelings for her despite staying together for a long time.

She had always thought that her figure and appearance were not bad. Although her figure was not as good as Sister Ruoxue's, Su Bai should be unable to ignore her completely.

Now, she understood, It turned out that this youth liked being dominated.

No wonder Sister Ruoxue said that she had forced him to confess.

Su Bai did not understand what Li Xing was thinking and silently looked up at the ceiling.

He went downstairs to receive the takeout and then took the elevator back silently.

“Will you play in the National League Tournament again?” Li Xing asked suddenly.

“I don't know, I don't think so. Unless someone gives me enough money,” He thought for a while and replied.

“…After going back this time, we probably really have to go our separate ways. We will probably never see each other again.” Li Xing sighed.

She knew that this was the highest probability.

When she first joined the team, she really hated Su Bai. With so many matches, everyone's previous unhappiness had long since disappeared, and their relationship had improved a lot.

However, the other team members understood that these two top scorers in the college entrance examination were destined to spread their wings and fly high.

“Who knows? We are all from Cannes. We still have a lot of opportunities to meet. We can get together during the holidays and have a drink or something.” Su Bai laughed.

After he finished speaking, he held the takeout and walked out of the elevator.

Back in the room, Chen Ruoxue had already fed her pets.

Su Bai put the takeout on the table and said, “Come and eat. Director Tang told us to eat faster or we won't be able to catch the ride.”

“Okay.” She washed her hands and walked over.

After dinner, the group of people gathered in the living room with their suitcases.

Tang Long nodded and said, “If all your belongings are here, let's go.”

“Let's go.” Su Bai nodded and took Chen Ruoxue out.
