’Isn’t it obvious? Does he even have to ask?’
’He just got back and wants to kill Fu Yuan without a second thought. If that’s not intolerance, what is?’
Although she thought this, the situation was dire, so Jiang Yunnuan had no choice but to tell a bald-faced lie.
"Of course not. You’re so magnanimous, especially to a pet like . You’re exceptionally good to ~"
"You take to dangerous places to save people, give a mountain of resources and treasures, and you even left a way to save my own life because you were afraid I’d be in danger. In my heart, you are the best, the very best master in the entire world."
"I’ve etched every kindness you’ve shown into my heart. If anyone tried to hurt you, I would definitely be on your side. Even if I couldn’t help much, I’d still take a blade for you."
"So, best master in the world, please let Fu Yuan go. I’m your pet, and he’s my Contractor, which basically makes him your pet, too."
"For a supre expert like you, having a pet with decent talent and good Cultivation at your beck and call only befits your status, don’t you think? Just keep him. Please..."
To save Fu Yuan, Jiang Yunnuan swallowed all her pride.
She fawningly took his hand and placed it on her head. Like a real pet, she gently shook her head, deliberately rubbing against his palm to curry favor.
Her beautiful, large eyes glistened enchantingly as she blinked up at him.
Yan Chen gently stroked her head, sighing helplessly in his heart.
’This woman must be my nesis, sent by the heavens specifically to defeat .’
He knew her true nature was domineering and that this obedient, fawning display was just an act—a honey trap she was using because she was afraid he would kill that Beastman. Yet, he still couldn’t help but soften.
If she wanted the stars from the sky, he would find a way to pluck them for her.
"I can spare him..."
’Hey, it’s working!!!’
Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at him, full of anticipation, waiting for what he would say next.
’I don’t care anymore. As long as I can save Fu Yuan, I’ll agree to any condition. Whether I can actually fulfill it is a problem for later.’
"On one condition: you have to be a good pet!"
"I can, I can! I can do it!"
Jiang Yunnuan nodded repeatedly, readily agreeing. She sent her consciousness into her Light Brain and searched, "What kind of pet makes its master happy?"
The intelligent AI replied, ’From the user’s question, it seems you are worried about not being a good pet. There’s really no need to be~’
’First, we need to clarify one point: what is the definition of a pet? A pet is a creature kept by humans for ntal companionship and enjoynt.’
’In other words, the pet is the one who is actively chosen and raised by the master. The pet is the passive party; it does not choose the master.’
’The fact that your master actively chose you ans that your master is very satisfied with you and likes you a lot. Even if you do nothing at all, you will make your master happy.’
’Of course, the greatest value of a pet is providing emotional support and companionship. You can actively cuddle with your master, show off your talents at appropriate tis, act silly to make your master happy, and always be sowhere your master can see you...’
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
Although there were a lot of words in the suggestions above, it felt like they hadn’t said anything at all.
Not giving up, she continued her search: ’What is the art of being a pet?’
The results were pretty much the sa as before.
’Sigh, the network is so unreliable. It seems if I want to be a good pet, I’ll have to figure it out myself.’
After all, this website was all about the Human Clan keeping pets. There was no precedent for a mber of the Human Clan becoming a pet for another species.
’Co to think of it, I’ve really brought sha to the Human Clan!’
"Master, when will you let Fu Yuan go?"
She took his fingers and licked them gently, like a little kitten.
His fingers were long and slender, with knuckles like jade—impossibly beautiful. For the first ti, Jiang Yunnuan discovered she had a serious thing for hands.
The wet, tickling sensation on his fingertips made Yan Chen’s throat move slightly, his gaze darkening. With a wave of his hand, all the vines vanished.
The man who had been entangled within was finally revealed, but he had fallen unconscious at so unknown point. His tall body was covered in wounds and countless bloody holes. He was so emaciated that his flesh was sunken in everywhere, as if he were nothing but skin and bone.
Jiang Yunnuan was startled by his miserable state, her eyes turning red as she looked at Yan Chen.
"How did he end up like this?"
"Don’t worry, he won’t die. I just want you to rember this: from now on, you are not to let him near you without my permission. Otherwise, his fate will be even more wretched than it is now. Understand?"
His indifferent warning, delivered in a calm voice, sent a chill down Jiang Yunnuan’s spine.
Only at this mont did she clearly realize just how terrifying he was.
To have reached his current level of Cultivation, he had probably drained countless living beings dry. One more like Fu Yuan wouldn’t be any pressure or burden to him at all.
The fact that he was willing to co back for her after his tribulation was perhaps because of the food, perhaps because of the system, or perhaps because he liked her a little. But how long could those ’perhapses’ last?
"Do you understand?"
When he didn’t get an answer, his eyes narrowed, and he asked again in a low voice. Jiang Yunnuan snapped back to her senses, suppressed all her emotions, and nodded in response.
"I understand. But... are you sure nothing will happen to Fu Yuan?"
"Mm."
He grunted in affirmation and ford a hand seal. Instantly, a vast and dense wave of Life Force surged out and enveloped Fu Yuan. The bloody holes all over his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His sunken flesh also began to fill out and beco plump.
Seeing this, the heart that had been caught in Jiang Yunnuan’s throat finally settled.
’So the guy has so humanity after all, willing to use his Life Force to heal Fu Yuan.’
When cultivated to its peak, Life Force could bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bare bones. It was tens of thousands of tis more advanced than her Healing.
With him taking action, Fu Yuan would surely be fine.
"You must be tired, Master!"
Jiang Yunnuan imdiately went over to fawn on him, her fingers gently wiping away the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
"Ugh..."
On the floor, Fu Yuan let out a pained groan. His eyelids fluttered, and it seed he could wake up at any mont.
Hearing the sound, she quickly turned her head to look, only to see a flash of light as he vanished into thin air.
"Where did he go?"
Jiang Yunnuan instantly threw all thoughts of ’the art of being a pet’ to the back of her mind. She whipped her head around to look at Yan Chen, her eyes filled with accusation.
The next mont, her feet left the ground as her body was lifted into the air.
Yan Chen had swept her up with one arm and was walking out of the bathroom.
"He was an eyesore. I threw him downstairs."
’Oh, just downstairs. That scared to death!’
Jiang Yunnuan let out a huge sigh of relief inwardly and allowed him to carry her to the bedroom in a few strides and place her on the bed.
"Kneel properly."
He stood by the bed, issuing the order imperiously. His handso, snow-pale face was impassive, betraying no emotion.
Jiang Yunnuan froze, thinking she had misheard. She looked up at him in confusion.
He reached out, pressed gently on the back of her neck, and pushed her head down. Looking down at her, he spoke coolly.
"Do I need to teach you what to do?"
Through the thin fabric, her lips touched sothing scorching hot and hard. Jiang Yunnuan’s mind buzzed and went completely blank.
