163: Chapter 163: I Was Standed Up

Watching Chu Feiyu wailing, Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue could only sigh in their hearts.

They had absolutely no idea how to comfort her.

Chu Feiyu did not know the truth of the matter.

The reason Bai Song had refused her so decisively this time wasn't because he was acting as a guide for Chen Yi.

The real reason lay with the Bai family's visitors today—the Yun Family of Yan City!

The eldest miss of the Yun Family, Yun Zhiyao, had come to Yanjing this time not to watch the Beast Taming Contest in person, but because she was determined to claim the Bai family's young master, Bai Song, for herself!

Yun Zhiyao was an extremely possessive and competitive woman.

She would never allow herself to fall behind others, and it was even more impossible for her to share a man with other Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, after some consideration, she ultimately chose Bai Song, who possessed the One Heart, One Mind talent, as her contract partner.

She hoped that by contracting with him, she could obtain the amplification of One Heart, One Mind to significantly boost her strength and solidify her position as the next head of the Yun Family.

Thus, the visit to the Bai family tonight occurred.

As for why Bai Song had previously refused to contract with other S-rank Bloodline Spirit Beasts, the reason was simple—they weren't good-looking enough!

He was someone extremely obsessed with looks and had incredibly high standards for appearance.

Even female stars with beauty scores above 8 out of 10 could hardly catch his eye!

To be honest, those A-rank and S-rank Spirit Beasts who had come to apply for a contract were simply eyesores!

Every single one of them, damn it, probably had a beauty score of seven at most. What's the point of having strength if they're not pretty!

The reason he had made that promise of a reserved contract to Chu Feiyu was mainly because she was very beautiful, the bloodline grades of both her parents were decent, and they had the status of childhood sweethearts.

Of course, if Chu Feiyu ultimately only awakened a C-rank or D-rank bloodline, he would abandon her without hesitation.

His talent was One Heart, One Mind; he could not contract with multiple Spirit Beasts.

Therefore, for his sole Contracted Spirit Beast, he naturally required both strength and beauty to coexist!

Neither could be missing!

Yun Zhiyao, who came to visit today, far exceeded Bai Song's expectations in both strength and beauty.

Not to mention the Yun Family behind Yun Zhiyao was dozens of times larger than Bai Song's family!

Being able to establish a marriage alliance with such a family was undoubtedly all benefit and no harm for Bai Song.

Any sensible person would choose to contract with her, and Bai Song was no exception.

However, just as they were discussing how to establish the contract, Chu Feiyu had suddenly burst in.

This instantly displeased Yun Zhiyao. After glaring fiercely at Bai Song, she slammed the door and walked into the room with an exceptionally resolute attitude.

The meaning she expressed was self-evident.

To show his determination to Yun Zhiyao, Bai Song naturally had to speak even more decisively, leaving Chu Feiyu no room for negotiation.

In truth, deep down, Bai Song desperately wanted to have both Chu Feiyu and Yun Zhiyao for himself.

After all, what man could refuse being surrounded by a group of beautiful women?

With Yun Zhiyao as his Contracted Spirit Beast fighting alongside him and Chu Feiyu as a bed-warming concubine supporting him from behind, such a life would be perfect!

Unfortunately, after what happened today, it was likely this beautiful vision could no longer be realized.

Chu Feiyu would never forgive him—

Watching all this, Chu Xiaohe couldn't help but feel pity for Chu Feiyu.

He held Chu Feiyu tightly and comforted her softly, "Xiao Yu, just give up!"

"You saw it just now; the people in the hall are all from the Yun Family of Yan City! We simply can't compete with them!"

"And to tell you the truth, there's a high probability you won't be able to awaken an S-rank Bloodline. I'm sorry, it's all our fault—"

Murong Yue also stepped forward, gently stroking Chu Feiyu's back and comforting her softly, "It's okay. Although Bai Song is good, you deserve someone better! We were punching above our weight to begin with; encountering this kind of situation was inevitable—"

"Waaaah—"

Chu Feiyu could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and wailed loudly.

She had been looking forward to meeting Brother Bai Song with a heart full of joy, but who could have expected to encounter such a thing?

That promise Brother Bai Song gave her was practically her everything!

From heaven to hell, it truly happened in an instant!

As time passed minute by minute, Chu Feiyu's crying gradually subsided.

An hour later, she finally slowly raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her usual liveliness flickered in her gaze once more.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry!"

"Xiao Yu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine now! You're right, Dad and Mom. My relationship with Brother Bai Song was always one of reaching too high. Perhaps from the moment he awakened his talent, we were destined to never return to how we were before—"

Chu Feiyu's voice was still a bit choked, "After I say goodbye to Brother Chen Yi tomorrow, let's go back to Tianhai City!"

Hearing these resolute words, Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

In this cruel world, feelings seemed to be the most insignificant thing.

They could only pray silently, hoping that Chu Feiyu could emerge from this abyss of sorrow as soon as possible.

"Xiao Yu, didn't you say before that you wanted to eat at that conveyor belt sushi place?"

"I'll take you there now! You can eat as much as you want!"

"Mhm, I want to eat the Gold Plate sushi!"

---

On the other side, inside the Bai family manor.

Just as Chu Feiyu's group of three left, Yun Zhiyao walked out of the room.

She had her arms crossed, her face cold, seemingly still displeased.

Bai Song's expression had originally been very annoyed, but upon seeing Yun Zhiyao walk out, it instantly did a 180-degree turn.

He hurried forward with a fawning smile on his face and began to explain the reason.

He looked exactly like a henpecked husband!

"Zhi Yao, I'm so sorry, I've made a fool of myself before you—"

"That little girl is Chu Feiyu, who grew up with me. We're childhood sweethearts, completely innocent."

"She's always had a special romantic feeling for me. She's been chasing me since we were young, wanting to establish a contract with me."

"But as you know, a contract is no joking matter, so I could only give her a verbal promise that if she awakened a talent and bloodline of similar grade in the future, we would contract. I just didn't expect I would actually awaken a talent like this—"

"Zhi Yao, you can understand my difficulties. If I had any other talent, I would definitely have chosen to wait for her!"

"That girl probably doesn't know what the One Heart, One Mind talent actually signifies, which is why tonight's incident happened—"

"But this is for the best! Better a short sharp pain than a long dull one. Rejecting her completely this time isn't a bad thing for her!"
