66: Chapter 66 Will You Make a Contract with Me?

On the other side.

Chen Yi brought Su Taotao to the restroom and locked the door.

With just a man and a woman in this cramped space, the atmosphere instantly became somewhat subtle.

Su Taotao's heart rate involuntarily accelerated, and she swallowed unconsciously.

Surely, the plot from those smutty novels wouldn't happen next, right?

Chen Yi looked at the somewhat frightened Su Taotao, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly into a faint smile.

He gently tapped her forehead and teased, "What kind of messy thoughts are going through your head? I don't have those kinds of interests!"

Su Taotao froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, and a look of confusion appeared on her face: "Eh? Then why did Brother Chen Yi call me here?"

Chen Yi adjusted his collar slightly, then walked in front of Su Taotao, bent down, and gently took her hand.

"Tao Tao, let me say this first: what I'm about to say is not a joke. I hope you can think about it carefully."

"You are not a piece of trash with an F-rank Bloodline, but an ancient beast possessing the SSS-rank Taotie Bloodline, destined to reach the pinnacle in the future!"

"The power you displayed before wasn't something I gave you; it was actually your own power, the power of the Taotie!"

"You must have felt like you were never full since you were little, living in a constant state of hunger, right?"

"Actually, that's not because there's something wrong with your body. The Taotie itself is a being that devours everything in the world and requires a massive amount of energy; relying solely on ordinary food cannot satisfy its hunger."

"The reason you awakened an F-rank Bloodline is because there wasn't enough energy, causing the Taotie Bloodline to remain dormant!"

Every word Chen Yi said made Su Taotao feel shaken to her core.

SSS-rank Bloodline?

This is something rare even in the Dragon Kingdom; there aren't many Spirit Beasts in the whole world that possess such a heaven-defying bloodline.

As an ordinary, unremarkable girl, how could she possibly deserve to possess such powerful strength?

"Brother Chen Yi, you're not joking, are you?"

In reality, Su Taotao believed everything Chen Yi said 100%.

But the problem was that the possibility was just too low, infinitely close to zero.

It was truly unimaginable that such a thing could happen to her.

Chen Yi stared into Su Taotao's eyes with a sincere expression: "Do you believe me?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Taotao immediately replied: "I believe you!"

"Then that's all that matters!"

Chen Yi smiled calmly, "Just as I said before, you awakened an F-rank Bloodline in the end because you couldn't provide the energy the Taotie needed."

"My power can awaken your bloodline; it's the same power you used when you fought the monsters earlier."

"How about it? Are you interested in forming a contract with me and reaching the pinnacle together?"

While speaking, Chen Yi extended his right hand, extending an invitation to Su Taotao.

Looking at Chen Yi's extended right hand, Su Taotao's beautiful eyes flashed instantly.

Isn't this the scene she has always dreamed of?

A Prince Charming taking her hand when she was in distress, telling her she wasn't trash, and that they would climb to the pinnacle of the world together in the future—

Isn't Chen Yi her Prince Charming?

Just as she thought of this, her hand lifted slightly, almost unconsciously.

However, just as she was about to touch Chen Yi's hand, she immediately pulled it back.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen Yi, I cannot form a contract with you! Please forgive me—"

However, before she could finish her sentence.

Chen Yi reached out and grabbed Su Taotao's hand that she had just pulled back, saying gently, "You aren't worried that you're about to die because of demonization, are you?"

Hearing this, Su Taotao's pupils shrank, and she looked up at Chen Yi in shock.

How did Chen Yi know about her situation?

"Brother Chen Yi, you... how did you know?"

"There's a lot more that I know!"

Chen Yi gently stroked Su Taotao's long hair and said softly, "You don't need to worry about these things; you just need to follow your heart! I can handle everything else for you!"

"If you don't want to die, I will definitely save you; if you don't want to live such a mediocre life, I will definitely help you; if you want to stand at the pinnacle, I will definitely promise to take you to the pinnacle!"

"Come on, tell me your innermost, truest thoughts!"

Hearing Chen Yi's heartfelt words.

Su Taotao's tears instantly welled up.

She could no longer suppress the fear in her heart and threw herself directly into Chen Yi's arms, sobbing bitterly.

"Brother Chen Yi, I... I don't want to die!"

"Then that's all that matters! As I said before, I will save you! Mere demonization is nothing to me at all!"

"Wuu wuu wuu—"

Su Taotao cried for half an hour.

She blinked her large, watery eyes, looking at Chen Yi through tear-blurred vision, and choked out, "Brother Chen Yi, is there really a way for me to survive? Is there really a way for me to keep up with you and stand at the pinnacle?"

Chen Yi gently wiped the tears from the corners of Su Taotao's eyes and smiled gently, "Of course! Believe in me; as long as you are willing, I will definitely take you to the pinnacle of the world!"

Hearing Chen Yi's affirmative answer, Su Taotao's eyes gradually brightened.

She stood up and hurried to the sink to wash her face.

Although her light makeup was washed away, the face revealed was still heart-stoppingly cute.

It was even cuter than before she had put on makeup.

I really don't understand why she bothered with makeup—

She came before Chen Yi and held his hand tightly, as if afraid that Chen Yi might suddenly disappear.

"Brother Chen Yi, I am willing to form a contract with you—no, wait, please let me become your Contracted Spirit Beast! I want to survive, and I want to climb to the pinnacle of the world with you!"

[Ding! Su Taotao's favorability +15 points!]

[Current favorability: 80 points!]

Seeing the change in favorability, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

If Su Taotao hadn't agreed, he really wouldn't have known what else to say.

After all, it's quite difficult for someone who was a virgin just half a month ago to say these kinds of things!

It was just unexpected that it would break through 80 favorability points just like that.

Once the contract is completed, he can get the favorability quest reward!

"Is that so? Then look forward to it!"

"Mm!"

A shy expression suddenly appeared on Su Taotao's face, "But Brother Chen Yi, forming a contract... it shouldn't be necessary to do it in the restroom, right?"

Chen Yi flicked Su Taotao's forehead and laughed, "What are you thinking? Didn't I already say I don't have those kinds of interests?"

Su Taotao breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh... is that so!"

Chen Yi took Su Taotao's hand and walked out the door: "Let's wait until we find a hotel in Han City! You should get to know your Sister Mengxue and Sister Shiyin a bit better!"

"Mm!"
