167: Chapter 167 Sisterhood

Chu Feiyu had now come to a profound realization of a certain truth.

Before Bai Song awakened the "One Heart, One Mind" talent, her parents had actually been against her signing a contract with him.

As the saying goes, the person involved is confused, while the onlooker sees clearly.

From her parents' perspective, they could more clearly discern Bai Song's true character.

If their daughter were to forge a contract with him, she would likely live a miserable life in the future!

However, simply because Bai Song awakened a talent like "One Heart, One Mind," all his character flaws were completely overlooked.

The reason one person finds it hard to forget another isn't actually rooted in genuine affection.

Under the influence of various filters, you feel that anyone who comes after can't possibly compare to the person in your heart!

This is what people mean by 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'!

When you encounter someone truly exceptional, you feel deep down that you aren't worthy of them, so you continue to cling to that initial sentiment!

However, once that filter dissipates and you meet an outstanding person you might actually be compatible with...

You suddenly realize that the person from your past was absolutely repulsive!

You must have had water in your brain to have liked someone like that!

Of course, there might be people even more exceptional than the one before you, and you might be a match for them too!

But the question is, will you ever meet them?

Even if you do, would they choose you?

Therefore, seizing the opportunity right in front of you is especially crucial!

Otherwise, you will truly regret it when it's too late!

And Chen Yi was undoubtedly that person right in front of her!

---

After leaving the simulated battle room, the outside was still teeming with people, a literal sea of humanity.

In fact, since it was no longer the lunch break, it was even more crowded than before!

Appraising one's bloodline wasn't an essential step.

Since Chen Yi had already claimed he had an SS-rank Bloodline, there was no need to do anything superfluous!

Right now, the most urgent matter was to quickly find a room by the hour and get down to business!

“Brother Chen Yi, I actually have to apologize to you. I lied...”

“My father didn't have a job transfer; he's actually on vacation right now...”

“I only said that because I didn't want to stay here anymore...”

Chen Yi waved it off, seemingly having expected it: “It's fine, those are just minor things! If I were you, I'd probably have said the same!”

“I'm just glad you aren't mad at me, Brother Chen Yi!”

Chen Yi thought about it and finally decided to send a message to The girls to report in.

He muttered to himself that if he didn't, it would feel like he was having an affair, which was just weird.

As expected.

When The girls saw the message, they instantly exploded.

A barrage of interrogations came flying in.

“Little Brother Chen Yi, tell us the address right now!”

“If you dare to sneak a taste behind our backs, we absolutely won't let you get out of bed tonight!”

“What kind of sweet talk did you use to trick Little Yu this time? She hasn't even awakened her bloodline yet!”

“Hubby, while I don't mind you contracting a new Spirit Beast, you should... exercise some restraint, right? It's only been a few days!”

Chen Yi looked at the messages constantly popping up on his phone screen and couldn't help but give a few wry smiles.

This wasn't something he could control either!

However, in order to have a smooth night's sleep and not end up unable to get out of bed...

Chen Yi decided to narrate the sequence of events in detail, describing every single point as clearly as possible.

Before long, The girls all arrived at Chen Yi's location—the specialized contract hotel of the Yanjing Beast Tamer Association.

Seeing the two of them fully dressed, with no signs of messy hair and no evidence of the bathroom being used...

The girls finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Are you guys here for a sting operation? Honestly, didn't I say I'd wait for you all to arrive before making plans?”

“I'm sorry, sisters. Because of my situation, I've kept you from being able to continue shopping...”

Chu Feiyu sat on the edge of the bed with a well-behaved expression, her head lowered, looking somewhat trembling and fearful.

Seeing Chu Feiyu's pitiful appearance, combined with the 'evidence of the crime' Chen Yi had just submitted...

The girls' hearts couldn't help but soften, and they all crowded around Chu Feiyu.

“Xiao Yu, you've had it too rough, haven't you?”

“That Bai Song is simply scum; he doesn't take his promises seriously at all!”

“Exactly! Good riddance to that kind of trash! If he can break a promise on something this important, who knows what even more despicable things he'd do in the future!”

“If you aren't sure, don't make a vow. To waste so many years of our Xiao Yu's life, how hateful!”

“Um, that...”

After swallowing hard, Chu Feiyu forced out a sentence with difficulty, “Sisters, I'm sorry! I want to establish a contract with Brother Chen Yi and become his Contracted Spirit Beast. I hope you can give me a chance. I definitely won't let your expectations down!”

“What is there to apologize for?”

“Exactly! You didn't think we were going to scold you, did you?”

“If anyone's getting scolded, it's this big playboy Chen Yi. You've done nothing wrong!”

“Even though I'd love to have Little Brother Chen Yi all to myself, I know he belongs to everyone! As long as you truly want to contract with him and contribute your strength for his sake, we all welcome you!”

Hearing The girls' words, Chu Feiyu couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.

She had originally thought these Spirit Beast Girls would unceremoniously seize her and interrogate her about why she was seducing Chen Yi.

After all, in her imagination, she had already prepared herself to be called a vixen!

Even so, Chu Feiyu hadn't had the slightest thought of giving up on Chen Yi.

Because she firmly believed that meeting Chen Yi and happening to awaken her bloodline the day after being dumped was no coincidence; it had to be divine guidance!

First, she was made to see Bai Song's true colors, then her bloodline awakened, and Chen Yi just happened to have a contract slot...

None of this could be explained away as mere chance!

Being questioned and berated by Chen Yi's Contracted Spirit Beasts was perhaps just a trial given by the heavens!

As long as she could make it through this, she would surely welcome a brand new life!

However, the reality exceeded her expectations.

To her surprise, Chen Yi's Spirit Beasts' first concern was actually her well-being, rather than shouting abuse at her.

Chu Feiyu's eyes instantly grew moist, tears welling up.

She knew well that the multiple Spirit Beasts under a high-level Beast Tamer often engaged in all sorts of jealous behavior due to uneven resource distribution.

They might even form small cliques to ostracize someone.

It was precisely because of this that she had initially thought finding a Beast Tamer like Bai Song, who had the "One Heart, One Mind" talent, would be more reliable!

Because that way, there would be no need to worry about jealousy or get involved in those scheming conflicts.

Yet, at this moment, here with Chen Yi, she actually felt an extremely rare sisterly bond!

This emotion made her feel incredibly warm and further convinced her that her choice was not wrong!

Chen Yi was undoubtedly the benefactor of her life, the man who had rescued her from Bai Song's quagmire!

“Thank you! I, Chu Feiyu, hereby swear to the heavens that I will never betray Brother Chen Yi. I will forever be Brother Chen Yi's person!”
