168: Chapter 168 Contract with Chu Feiyu

In the hotel room.

The girls' laughter and chatter rose and fell in waves.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, Chen Yi seemed a bit out of place.

Every time he tried to join the conversation, he was met with fierce glares from The girls.

Those looks seemed to say: "This is none of your business right now! Just wash up and wait for us tonight!"

Even Su Taotao, who had the highest affection for him, was no exception!

Chen Yi gave a helpless, bitter smile and sighed inwardly.

Saving every Spirit Beast Girl who might otherwise end up depressed for the rest of her life due to bloodline issues—that was his mission!

No wonder people said heroes are never understood.

Looking at it now, it really was true—

Still, as long as the harem remained harmonious and stable, that was the best outcome!

Before long, The girls' topics of conversation gradually ran dry.

They stood up one after another, preparing to leave the hotel and leave the remaining time to Chen Yi and Chu Feiyu.

“Brother Chen Yi, thank you for accepting my contract request.”

Chu Feiyu leaned gently against Chen Yi's shoulder and whispered softly.

“You're still saying things like that? Didn't Xue'er just tell you? Among us, apologies and thanks don't need to be spoken aloud!”

Chen Yi responded with a speechless expression, “If you keep saying things like that, I’ll have to use physical means to shut you up!”

Hearing this, Chu Feiyu’s small face instantly turned beet red.

A few seconds later, she plucked up her courage and said: “Then I’ll say it! Come and shut me up—”

However, before she could finish, Chen Yi’s lips pressed directly against hers.

Chu Feiyu’s eyes widened slightly, her face showing a look of surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a sweet smile.

Her hands unconsciously climbed up Chen Yi’s neck, embracing him tightly.

“Little girl, you’re playing with fire!”

“Hmph! I’m a Fire Attribute Spirit Beast. If I don’t play with fire, am I supposed to play with water?”

“Oh, you even dare to talk back? Take this! Let me teach you some Water Attribute skills!”

“Mmm—let me change positions—”

[Ding! Chu Feiyu's affection +15 points!]

[Current affection: 70 points!]

---

Half a day later, inside a luxury private room.

“Just what... is going on?”

“Xiao Yu, you couldn't have been tricked, right? What SS-rank Bloodline? That’s impossible!”

Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue were filled with shock, their gazes locked tightly on their precious daughter as they questioned her.

Once they regained their senses, the first thought that came to mind was three words—their precious daughter had been scammed!

It was exactly like the kind of situation where a girl gets her heart broken, only for some blonde delinquent to take advantage of her vulnerability, and she ends up coming home with an ultrasound report!

Looking at her parents' reaction, Chu Feiyu said with a firm tone: “Dad, Mom, what I’m saying is true! I really do have an SS-rank Phoenix Bloodline!”

As she spoke, she entered her Armed Form without hesitation.

Instantly, an incredible change occurred in Chu Feiyu’s body.

Her long hair turned into flowing molten gold, dancing like flames.

Her features were as exquisite as a painting, and her red-gold vertical pupils burned with eternal divine fire, exuding a noble and awe-inspiring aura with every glance.

Her skin glowed like warm jade, and a golden divine mark in the shape of a phoenix flickered faintly on her forehead.

She radiated a scorching heat and a warm fragrance, like a rising sun born from nirvana, bright and dazzling, making it impossible to look at her directly.

Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue were stunned by Chu Feiyu’s brand-new appearance, their mouths hanging wide open, completely unable to speak.

That vibrant power was absolutely Phoenix Attribute power; there was no faking it!

At that moment, they noticed Chen Yi leaning against the doorframe. Like drowning people catching a lifeline, they hurried forward to ask him.

“Brother Chen Yi, what exactly is going on?”

“We hope you can tell us the truth so we can put our minds at ease—”

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled slightly and explained: “My talent allows me to raise the bloodline rank of Spirit Beast Girls. Xiao Yu was originally supposed to have an A-rank Bloodline, but seeing her good potential, I directly raised it to SS-rank!”

Chu Feiyu also nodded and chimed in: “Yes! If it weren't for Brother Chen Yi’s ability, I might have just been an ordinary firebird instead of the phoenix I am now!”

The two had already briefly agreed on a story to fool Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue while they were forming the contract.

If they told the direct truth, it might cause the parents excessive worry and opposition.

The simplest way was to attribute all the credit to Chen Yi.

This way, not only could Chen Yi provide the answers when questioned to avoid inconsistencies, but it also emphasized Chen Yi’s importance.

Now that the deed was done, and considering Chu Feiyu had only reached SS-rank with Chen Yi’s help, Chu Xiaohe and Murong Yue had no reason to refuse this contract!

And that was indeed the case!

After hearing Chen Yi’s explanation, the couple’s minds felt as if they were stuffed with paste, unable to process it.

It wasn't until Chu Feiyu waved her hand in front of their eyes that they snapped out of it.

“So you're saying Xiao Yu can only have this kind of bloodline by following you?”

Chu Xiaohe asked with a face full of doubt.

“You could say that, for now!”

“But if you have such an ability, why did you have to choose Xiao Yu? If it were another Spirit Beast with an S-rank Bloodline, wouldn't your talent be able to raise them directly to SSS-rank?”

Chu Xiaohe’s gaze was somewhat dazed; he really couldn't understand why Chen Yi would make such a choice.

It was perfectly normal for him to have such doubts.

After all, Chu Feiyu and Chen Yi had only met a few times.

Although Chu Xiaohe had helped Chen Yi resolve the trouble with the Five Elements Secret Realm, they were still essentially strangers.

In this world, no one was unaware of the importance placed on bloodline rank.

A talent like Chen Yi’s was tens of thousands of times more powerful than even One Heart, One Mind.

If he were to reveal his ability, let alone Yun Zhiyao who had been snatched away by Bai Song, even Luo Yuqing might proactively come to his door seeking a contract!

What reason could such a person have to take an interest in Chu Feiyu?

Chen Yi smiled, seemingly having anticipated this.

He continued to explain: “As I just said, my talent can raise the bloodline rank of others.

“So for me, as long as I invest enough resources, I can help Spirit Beast Girls achieve a transformation and upgrade.”

“Nurturing a big internet celebrity is nurturing, nurturing a girl from an ordinary family of three is nurturing, and even nurturing an abandoned infant is nurturing—”

“So, if I have to choose, I would certainly choose a Spirit Beast Girl whose background I know, who has a good personality, and who is beautiful, wouldn't I?”

As he spoke, he gently reached out and rubbed Chu Feiyu’s small head.

This action was full of intimacy and doting, and the meaning he wanted to convey was self-evident.

Chu Feiyu’s small face also turned slightly red at this moment, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
