450: Complete contract, creatures of the virtual sea!

“No, it’s not that I don’t believe you.”

“Then why is it?”

Long Yu was slightly stunned.

Her gaze fixed on the human before her.

He lowered his head in thought, his figure small, appearing as fragile as a thin sheet of paper, seemingly able to be torn apart with a casual flick.

At this moment, Long Yu, in a trance, seemed to realize something.

“Are you afraid that if I become the Lord of the Dragon Race, I won’t help you?”

Her voice carried a hint of doubt.

She seemed somewhat displeased.

This human boy in front of her actually didn’t trust her.

“I won’t go back on my word,” she said, bending down and leaning in front of Fang Ran, who was sitting on the Azure Dragon’s back.

Her dark Dragon Horns were incredibly tough, and their owner’s gaze was as scorching as lava.

Long Yu took Fang Ran’s hand and placed it on the Dragon Horns.

Fang Ran instinctively gripped it, a look of disbelief on his face.

Before, he only dared to touch them when Long Yu was asleep; now, touching them while she was awake felt completely different.

“Hold on tight. Don’t you usually like to hold them?” Her voice was laced with mockery.

She seemed to have known what had happened while she was unconscious.

This made Fang Ran’s breathing catch.

The Azure Dragon let out a series of roars, as if sensing Fang Ran’s unease.

“Don’t worry about it,” Fang Ran quickly stopped it.

At this height, he couldn’t escape, nor could he possibly resist.

However, in Long Yu’s eyes, this act was a sign of his trust in her, which somewhat dissipated Long Yu’s displeasure.

Long Yu closed her eyes, allowing Fang Ran to grasp that sacred place.

If the Dragon-Human Race were to see this scene…

Fang Ran would undoubtedly be meticulously chopped into mincemeat.

“You…”

Fang Ran was startled.

He could feel that Long Yu was accepting his mental power.

The initial mental connection between them was only a thread, but now it was constantly growing stronger!

This also meant that if Long Yu were to completely become Fang Ran’s Beast Tamer, the difficulty of severing their connection would greatly increase!

“My power is increasing, and the feedback I’m receiving is also increasing!”

Fang Ran felt the strength in his arm growing.

His mental power was also rising with it!

Finally, after a moment, they established a complete mental connection!

She slowly opened her eyes. Fang Ran quickly released his hand from the dark Dragon Horns, and Long Yu looked at him meaningfully, saying, “You can directly command me from now on. No need for those little tricks.”

Hearing Long Yu’s words, Fang Ran’s expression stiffened.

Little tricks? What little tricks?

“Could it be… the Stardust Chain Technique was discovered?”

Such things really couldn’t be hidden from an Emperor-level powerhouse!

So, that means… Long Yu had been deliberately cooperating with him all along?

“No, you are still my teacher,” Fang Ran quickly said.

“Hmm… in your words, should I call you Master?”

Hearing the word ‘Master’.

Fang Ran felt a jolt throughout his body.

Being called Master by an Emperor-level existence was still too much of a shock.

“You can just call me by my name.”

Fang Ran still didn’t dare to agree.

“Hmm… alright,” Long Yu’s tail swayed behind her, seemingly in a good mood.

Her feelings for Fang Ran had changed from merely a benefactor who had saved her before.

She now regarded Fang Ran as an equal being, not a subordinate one.

“We’ve arrived!”

The Azure Dragon roared.

Unbeknownst to them, it had already arrived outside Wuzhou City.

Looking from afar, a giant city with towering buildings arranged neatly appeared in their sight.

This coastal city had developed even more powerfully than a small city like Yu City!

However, the more this was the case, the stranger it seemed.

“Logically, the Beast Tamer in these coastal cities should be numerous and extremely strong.”

Yet, in such a short time, they had all simultaneously lost contact.

Not only was no news transmitted back, but no one had escaped from within either.

“Still no information coming through. Teacher Yue’s last message seemed to be from Wuzhou City.”

“Let’s check their city center, fly directly to the Beast Taming Association!”

Upon receiving Fang Ran’s command.

The Azure Dragon headed straight for the center of Wuzhou City.

It also lowered its flying altitude, allowing Fang Ran to clearly see everything within the city.

“There seem to be some pedestrians on the streets. Nothing looks strange.”

Fang Ran’s brows furrowed slightly.

The less strange it was, the stranger it became!

How could a city that was operating normally cut off communication with the outside world?

“Something’s not right here,” Long Yu murmured, then added, “There’s a chilling aura that makes me very uncomfortable.”

A moment later.

Fang Ran and Long Yu arrived at the city center.

The group landed on the rooftop of the Beast Taming Association building and began walking down the high-rise.

The upper floors of the entire Beast Taming Association were empty, with only scattered documents on the desks and some office computers still with their screens lit.

It wasn’t until they reached the lower three floors of the Beast Taming Association.

That they saw a few staff members.

Their faces were stiff, and they seemed to show a hint of surprise upon seeing Fang Ran.

“Where is the President of the Beast Taming Association?”

“I don’t know…” The person replied, their expression dull.

At this moment, Xiao Nian emerged from Fang Ran’s Beast Taming Space and said, “What are you doing here?”

The moment they saw Xiao Nian, the few individuals were instantly stunned.

A moment later.

Their facial features dissolved, as if turning into a sinister, misty aura!

And some others transformed into creatures with dark purple bodies, crawling on the ground.

“Princess! Princess!”

“Princess!”

Their attitude was respectful.

They all knelt on the ground.

Similar to Xiao Nian, their bodies were composed of purple slime, like skinned humans.

“Such incredible Imitation ability… I almost didn’t notice it.”

Fang Ran was startled.

These creatures were probably beings from the Void Sea!

They possessed the exact same Imitation ability as Xiao Nian, and they could master it skillfully!

However, they seemed to have mistaken Xiao Nian for a highly ranked being within their race, directly prostrating themselves on the ground.

If not for Xiao Nian’s special identity, Fang Ran might have actually been fooled.

Of course, discovering the disguise would have been only a matter of time.

After all, their disguise was too stiff, unlike Xiao Nian, who could even imitate the other party’s hair, behavior, and speech.

“Hmm… what are you all doing here?” Xiao Nian asked, putting on airs.

Although its voice was tender, it seemed to carry deterrence and authority.

The few Void Sea creatures dared not slack off in the slightest.

“We are following the orders of the King of the Void Sea, coming here to impersonate humans and cut off all communication facilities within the city.”

“What about the people in the city? Why aren’t they running?”

Fang Ran spoke.

However, the few Void Sea creatures did not respond.

Xiao Nian paused, then said, “His words are my words.”

However, the few creatures still showed no reaction.

It wasn’t until Xiao Nian repeated itself, saying, “I ask you, what about the people in the city? Why aren’t they running?”

Upon hearing this, one Void Sea creature quickly spoke, “Forgive us, Princess! It was my negligence. Our ten thousand clan members used a special ability to control them, putting them into a near-catatonic state where they can only act on instinct. Those who couldn’t be controlled were killed by some powerful Void Sea creatures!”

“These matters are secrets within our clan. The King of the Void Sea once commanded that they not be revealed to anyone!”

They were only speaking now because they perceived Xiao Nian’s bloodline to be higher than the King’s.

“Have you seen a King-level Beast Master?” Fang Ran asked again.

Xiao Nian glanced at Fang Ran, then turned its head and repeated the question.
