388: Chapter 388 Oath of Allegiance

“Watch your tongue! The Queen has her own plans; we only need to follow orders!”

“I just feel, is it really worth going to such lengths for one human?”

“Exactly! If we fail, what kind of losses will our Sect face?”

Everyone fell silent.

They all knew Chen Yi's value, but they were also aware of the risks involved.

This human Beast Tamer was like a double-edged sword; used well, he could expand their territory, but used poorly, he could harm them instead.

He was too difficult to control!

Before long, all the high-ranking members of the Demon Abyss Cult were gathered in the council hall.

“Everyone!” Hua Liuli began. “Chen Yi has fallen into my hands! For the next period of time, I will personally train him to ensure he is completely utilized by our Sect! During this time, all Sect affairs will be handled jointly by Shadow Brake and Bone Erosion. Do not disturb me unless it is a matter of great importance.”

Everyone bowed their heads: “We will strictly obey the Queen's command!”

“Furthermore! Regarding Chen Yi's contracted partners, I have already met them!”

“Although they are not under my control, due to the nature of the contract, there is a high probability they will not defy Chen Yi's orders!”

“And since Chen Yi is now under Emilia's suggestion and loyal to me, these people will also be used by our Sect.”

“Pass down the order: strengthen defenses at all branch altars to guard against a counterattack from the Beast Tamer Association! At the same time, accelerate the progress of the plan. I want to see initial results within a month!”

“Yes!” everyone replied in unison.

Hua Liuli nodded, and her figure slowly disappeared from the spot.

Leaving behind a group of thoughtful high-ranking members of the Demon Abyss Cult.

Half a day later.

Deep within the Demon Abyss Cult, in Hua Liuli's private bedchamber, on a large bed.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes, blinked to adjust to the light, and then sat up.

His movements were natural, without any hesitation or confusion, as if he had just woken up from an ordinary sleep.

When his gaze fell upon Hua Liuli, who was sitting in a chair by the bed, he immediately rolled out of bed and knelt on one knee.

“Greetings, Lady Queen!”

Hua Liuli scrutinized him, a flash of satisfaction in her eyes: “Get up! Chen Yi, do you know what your current situation is?”

Chen Yi stood up and nodded: “Lady Emilia has ordered me to use my abilities to assist you!”

“Good, very good!”

Hua Liuli's smile widened. “And what about your Contracted Spirit Beasts?”

“They are all here!”

Chen Yi waved his hand, and the light of the Crystal Palace flashed by.

Immediately after, several graceful figures appeared in the room.

Su Taotao, Hua Yuetong, Hua Xingtong, Lilian, Black Rose, and Shi Yuying—all six contracted partners appeared.

As soon as they appeared, they quickly shielded Chen Yi behind them, staring vigilantly at Hua Liuli.

Everyone was ready for battle—even though they knew that, facing an existence like Hua Liuli, their resistance might be meaningless.

“Stop!”

Chen Yi shouted. “Are you trying to rebel?”

The girls were stunned, looking at Chen Yi in disbelief.

But in the end, they chose to obey and retreated to the side, though their eyes remained fixed on Hua Liuli, filled with hostility.

Seeing this, Hua Liuli instantly understood everything.

These girls clearly already knew Chen Yi's situation. Even though Chen Yi's mind was now controlled by suggestion, they still could not leave him; it was such a deep love.

This emotion even transcended reason, making them willing to follow the controlled Chen Yi rather than leave.

Thinking of this, Hua Liuli smiled faintly: “Don't be so nervous. Although the methods we used were a bit underhanded, I truly appreciate Chen Yi from the bottom of my heart!”

“I will not touch your man, rest assured! But if you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless!”

“You are merely his appendages, so I will not touch you, but please recognize your place!”

Hearing this, The girls clenched their fists, their nails almost piercing their palms.

But they knew that, given the current strength gap, resistance would only make the situation worse.

Chen Yi also turned around to face The girls: “You are all my contracted partners, and I don't want to fall out with you or anything! But if you defy Lady Queen in the future, then I'm sorry, I don't know you!”

Once these words were spoken, The girls immediately panicked.

“Brother Chen Yi, how can you say that!”

“We are doing this for your own good!”

“Yes, we know you are being controlled now, but you can't—”

“Chen Yi, do you really not remember us? Do you not remember the things we experienced together?”

“I'm sorry—it's all my fault—if I had originally—”

“Little Chen, I know you can't take this in right now! But I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will be by your side! If this is your choice—then I accept it.”

Chen Yi listened to these words without any fluctuation on his face, only nodding: “Since none of you want to be separated from me, then the first step is to pledge your loyalty to Lady Queen!”

Upon hearing this, although The girls were unwilling.

Seeing Chen Yi's firm gaze, they eventually knelt on one knee one by one.

“I, Su Taotao, hereby pledge—my loyalty to Queen Hua Liuli.”

“Hua Yuetong—pledge loyalty.”

“Hua Xingtong—pledge loyalty.”

“Lilian—pledge loyalty.”

“Black Rose—pledge loyalty.”

“Shi Yuying—pledge loyalty.”

Hua Liuli watched this scene, quite astonished in her heart.

How exactly did this Chen Yi train his contracted partners?

In such a desperate situation, these girls could actually choose to compromise just because of a single word from him.

This kind of control and influence really had something to it.

However, she didn't say much else, her gaze falling first on Black Rose.

“Rose, you have disappointed me.”

“I'm sorry, Lady Queen—”

Black Rose kept her head down, not daring to look into Hua Liuli's eyes. “I—have fallen in love with Lord Chen Yi—”

“Alright, say no more!”

Hua Liuli sighed. “This is not your fault; it's my fault for not investigating Chen Yi's power clearly. The feelings you have now—forget it, just continue to stay by Chen Yi's side in the future!”

“Thank you for Lady Queen's grace!”

Subsequently, Hua Liuli's gaze fell upon Shi Yuying: “Tell me, how did you obtain my blood?”

Shi Yuying was startled, her face instantly turning pale.

She subconsciously looked at Chen Yi, and seeing him nod in indication, she took a deep breath and began to recount her experience.

She recounted every detail without reservation.

Upon hearing this, Hua Liuli narrowed her eyes. She hadn't expected that twenty-one years ago, she had left behind such a special individual outside, and what was even more absurd was that this individual had contracted with Chen Yi.

Perhaps Chen Yi had long seen through Shi Yuying's identity, which was why he chose to contract her?

He really was an absurd man!

Originally, Hua Liuli had intended to capture Shi Yuying, wipe her memory, and bring her back under her command.

However, looking at it now, if she did that, it might leave a bad impression on Chen Yi, so she decided to forget about it.
