247: Chapter 247 The Long-Hidden Undercover Agent

Just then, Lin Mengxue, who was walking in front of Black Rose, noticed her unusual pause.

She turned back and asked, "Sister Black Rose, what's wrong? Your complexion is so pale, are you feeling unwell? Or are you nervous?"

Black Rose was jolted back to reality by Lin Mengxue's voice, snapping out of her trance.

She forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile, and shook her head: "It's---it's nothing! Sister Mengxue, maybe I'm just a little... airsick on the Airship? I'll be fine after a rest."

"Are you really okay? Do you want to see the accompanying medical Beast Tamer?"

"Really, there's no need. Thank you for your concern, Sister Mengxue."

Black Rose smiled gently, "Let's go in quickly, let's not keep everyone waiting!"

Having said that, she stopped lingering and quickly caught up with the team in front, walking inside the Airship.

At this moment, Gu Fan finally finished his farewell kisses with The girls who had come to see him off and stepped onto the boarding ramp.

From behind, the reluctant farewells of The girls could be heard.

"Fan, you must come back safely!"

"We'll be waiting for you at home!"

"Take care of yourself!"

However, Gu Fan seemed not to have heard these words at all.

His gaze had been locked firmly from beginning to end on the door of the cabin where Chen Yi and the others had disappeared.

He was not like Bai Song, who had fallen into the Demon Abyss Cult because of love turned to hate after failing to pursue Black Rose.

Gu Fan had been a member of the Demon Abyss Cult since birth!

Both of his parents were devout believers and members of the Demon Abyss Cult.

He grew up influenced by the Sect's ideology, worshipping and identifying with it immensely, believing that it was the truth and the future of this world.

The reason he appeared in the vision of the Dragon Kingdom's high-level officials as a genius Beast Tamer, and why he didn't know Black Rose's true identity previously, leading to the misunderstanding where he wanted to contract her—

The reason was that his original mission was merely to be an eye, an inconspicuous mole planted by the Demon Abyss Cult among the high-level officials of various countries.

But no one expected that when he came of age, he would accidentally awaken an SSS-Rank Talent—Soul Contract, leaping to become a top genius heavily cultivated by the Dragon Kingdom!

At that time, it was about three years after the main force of the Demon Abyss Cult had been heavily damaged by the joint teams of various countries, and the Sect was short on resources and severely weakened.

After a resolution by the high-level officials, the organization decided to let him remain in the Dragon Kingdom, fully utilizing the Dragon Kingdom's resources to cultivate himself, while simultaneously using his status and position to provide the Sect with a large amount of inside information.

As a core member who had been lurking outside for a long time, it was very normal that he did not know the newly promoted Demon Emperor Black Rose, who had only emerged in the last six months.

And the reason he erupted with such intense killing intent towards Chen Yi was not because of Black Rose.

On one hand, it was because of the instructions from above, requiring him to recruit Chen Yi into the Sect as gently as possible.

This made him feel extremely unhappy!

He, Gu Fan, was also an SSS-Rank Beast Tamer with gifted talent; why should he be made to act as a lobbyist for Chen Yi, and there was even a vague implication that he should assist Chen Yi?

Where was his pride?

On the other hand, Maternal Great Uncle, a mole inside the Luo family, had contacted him, hoping that he could help kill Luo Shiyin in the secret realm.

This made him feel even more that the organization seemed to treat him as an ordinary errand boy, making him do all the dirty and tiring work.

In Gu Fan's view, the root of all this was Chen Yi's appearance!

Therefore, he was extremely unhappy with Chen Yi, viewing him as a thorn in his side!

Of course, unhappy as he was, he still had to carry out the task from above.

The Demon Abyss Cult's ideology had long been deeply ingrained in his bones; he had to bring back this key figure, Chen Yi, whether by invitation or by force!

After all, for this mission, the higher-ups had assigned that enchanting and seductive Red Snake to him just a few days ago.

Although Red Snake had already been defiled by that trash Bai Song, which made Gu Fan feel a bit disgusted.

But Red Snake's appearance and figure were truly top-notch, so he reluctantly accepted her, and through her, he fused with the Black Soul Jade again, gaining even greater power.

He didn't want to end up failing the mission and also failing to live up to the organization's trust and the resources invested.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Gu Fan's eyes, he withdrew his gaze, and walked into his own cabin.

---

Under the warm send-off of countless citizens and media at the Yanjing Airport.

The silver Airship emitted a low hum, slowly ascended, and sped away towards the southern horizon.

The interior of the Airship was extremely luxurious and comfortable, equipped with complete living areas and cultivation rooms, sufficient to ensure the needs of passengers during long-distance travel.

Along the way, outside the window were the changing sea of clouds and the azure sky, while inside were stunning beauties---

It can only be said that this trip was truly nice!

The journey was calm and peaceful, with no unexpected incidents occurring.

Only the humming sound of the Airship's engine running steadily served as background noise.

In Chen Yi's exclusive luxury cabin, Chen Yi gathered all the Contracted Girls, as well as Black Rose and Lilian.

He cleared his throat, preparing to announce a decision.

"While everyone is free now, I'm announcing something!"

"From today on, Lilian officially becomes my second pre-Contracted Spirit Beast and will act with us and undergo evaluation!"

"She is still very weak, so I ask everyone to please bear with her!"

After the news was announced, a brief silence fell in the cabin.

The reaction of The girls was unexpectedly calm.

Yun Zhiyao was the first to speak with a smile: "Welcome, Sister Lilian. Since Big Brother Yi has recognized your potential, we will be companions from now on!"

The other girls also expressed their welcome one after another, seemingly having expected Chen Yi's decision.

Or rather, out of unconditional trust in Chen Yi, they would not raise any objections to this.

After all, the more excellent Contracted Spirit Beasts gathered around Chen Yi, the stronger his strength would be, which was a good thing!

Watching the sisters accept the new member so easily, Black Rose stood to the side, feeling a bit bitter in her heart.

She subconsciously pouted her little lips, and a trace of hard-to-conceal dissatisfaction flashed in her clear eyes.

"Why?"

"I worked hard to pursue Chen Yi for more than three months, sending him food and trying to please him, and only after racking my brains did I barely get a spot for a probationary period!"

"This foreigner named Lilian, who only met Chen Yi for the first time, why could she directly obtain the qualification for pre-contracting?"

"In terms of appearance, I consider myself absolutely not inferior to her, or even better! In terms of bloodline, my surface-level Rose Dragon is also SS-Rank with huge potential; in terms of contribution, everyone has witnessed my efforts over these two-plus months---where exactly did the problem arise?"

"Is it that I haven't been sincere enough? Or did I do something wrong that caused Chen Yi's aversion? Or perhaps---was I too proactive, making him feel I wasn't reserved enough?"

"Could it be that this Chen Yi actually prefers the appearance of Westerners?"
