Chapter 118: Can We Try?

A mountain-toppling and sea-draining pressure bore down upon Helian Qinghe without a shred of mercy.

It caused Helian Qinghe's pupils to dilate with extreme terror in an instant.

She retreated a step abruptly, filled with panic and loss of composure.

"No..."

The faint cry was like that of a fledgling bird about to fall from its nest.

So vulnerable.

Disheveled and pale.

Xiao Zigui could never bear to see his beloved suffer such treatment; he immediately stepped forward and, without hesitation, collapsed in front of her.

"What kind of hero attacks a woman?!" he shouted.

Weisheng Yucheng, however, merely sneered.

"What a pair of star-crossed lovers. Since that's the case, I shall grant your wish."

Having said that, he exerted a few more points of force.

When people are pushed to the limit, they will resist; just as even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Watching his beloved cough up several mouthfuls of blood because of him, with blood-red gashes even splitting open on her hands, Helian Qinghe was suddenly so heartbroken she didn't know what to say.

The look she cast toward Weisheng Yucheng was filled with hatred.

And so, she gritted her teeth and questioned him.

"So what if it's a Master-Servant Contract?"

"The Tianxuan Continent may pay lip service to hating the Master-Servant Contract now, but doesn't everyone do it? Besides, how could this ox possibly be worthy of being my partner in an Equal Soul Contract!"

"By what right do you make such harsh demands of others?!"

Once these words were spoken, a deathly silence fell.

Even Weisheng Yucheng's hands paused for a fleeting moment.

But what followed was an even stronger eruption of oppressive force.

His facial muscles twitched, as if he were a hideous demon crawling up from hell.

"Worthy?"

"By what right?"

Weisheng Yucheng spoke each word clearly and distinctly.

"By the right that I am the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect!"

Oh no.

At this moment, the two Children of Luck, along with their future harem, finally felt as if a great disaster were imminent.

It's over.

The earlier confusion and anger were resolved in this instant.

No wonder! No wonder someone would be this furious!

People of the Beast Taming Sect would absolutely never use a Master-Servant Contract!

And they are also the ones who hate the Master-Servant Contract the most! Helian Qinghe felt a moment of guilt in her heart.

But following closely behind was deep dissatisfaction.

Since he was from the Beast Taming Sect, why not say so earlier? Why go to the trouble of forcing her like this?

She felt anxious, especially when seeing that Xiao Zigui could barely hold on.

Helian Qinghe spoke without thinking, "Enough! Could it be that the famous Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect just forces others like this?"

"If you have the ability, kill us today! Otherwise, I will certainly spread your infamous name! Otherwise, stop now! We can still be at peace!"

And these words, undoubtedly, only increased the conflict.

The anger in Weisheng Yucheng's heart deepened.

Seeing that the situation was about to become irreparable, Lu Ren suddenly reached out from the side to grab Weisheng Yucheng's wrist, interrupting him with a calm voice.

"Enough."

Weisheng Yucheng turned his head to look at him, his brows already knitted.

Lu Ren shook his head steadily, "Too much is as bad as too little. They are right, and this is inside the Duobao Pavilion; it is not suitable to cause a scene."

"The old ox hasn't suffered any injuries either."

Weisheng Yucheng calmed down and turned to look at the old ox, only then seeing that although the Contract Array had been shattered, the old ox had indeed suffered no harm and was instead jumping about energetically.

Only then did he let out a breath he had been holding.

But the look he cast back at Helian Qinghe and the others was already filled with disgust.

As he withdrew his aura, the group immediately couldn't hold their ground, swaying and nearly collapsing onto the floor.

Before they could even open their mouths to say something to save face, they heard Weisheng Yucheng coldly bark, "Get lost. Leave the Storage Bag behind as compensation for my old ox."

Helian Qinghe's eyes widened in disbelief, her attitude intense.

By what right?

She hadn't done anything wrong! But before her words could escape, Xiao Zigui had already reached out to stop her.

His expression was extremely calm as he reached out to remove his Storage Bag and threw it on the ground.

Xiao Zigui remained silent, not saying a word.

But deep within his eyes, a hidden fire was burning fiercely, as if it were a conflagration capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Xiao Zigui took a deep look at Weisheng Yucheng.

Fine.

Such a great humiliation; he would remember it.

As an innocent person caught in the crossfire, Qin Yuan was not asked to take off his Storage Bag.

Seeing that it had nothing to do with him, he immediately turned his head and left without the slightest hesitation.

Yet, the doubt in his heart deepened.

Beast Taming Sect, Sect Master.

Tsk! Although he had suspected whether the person following by Weisheng Yucheng's side could be Lu Ren.

But seeing Lu Ren take the initiative to intervene, that suspicion actually faded a little.

It must not be Lu Ren.

If it were Lu Ren, with his personality of fearing nothing but chaos in the world, how could he possibly intervene? Besides, Weisheng Yucheng does not only have Lu Ren as a friend.

However.

That guess ultimately left a mark in his heart, making it become somewhat restless.

After the few people had walked far away, Weisheng Yucheng reached out his hand with some annoyance.

He scooped up the Storage Bag, and without even looking at it, threw it directly into his own Storage Bag.

"Why did you have the Old Ox enter a contract with someone else?" Lu Ren asked at this moment.

Weisheng Yucheng did not answer, but instead looked at the Old Ox.

The Old Ox, who was lowering its head to graze on Ling Grass, spat out the grass on the ground with two 'pfft' sounds and coughed.

"Lu Family Head, let me explain it."

The Old Ox's attitude was relaxed and casual, "The reason Yucheng did this is naturally because of my cultivation problem."

"With my background, if I want to go higher and climb another step, I need to convert the people of the world."

"Finding a few more contract holders is also a method the two of us came up with together."

"The reason we came to Lingya this time is, after all, because Yucheng asked people from the Tianji Pavilion to calculate that my future contract holder would be here."

"However..."

As it spoke, the Old Ox shook its head in regret.

Everyone knew what it was regretting. Helian Qinghe looked decent.

Who would have thought it turned out not to be her.

At this moment, Yu Jiaojiao suddenly asked from the side: "This Senior Ox... I wonder if there are any requirements to become your contract holder?"

Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

But the people present could see that hidden beneath the curious gaze was an eagerness to try.

Weisheng Yucheng glanced at this little girl.

His heart stirred.

The Old Ox shook its head, only thinking that Yu Jiaojiao was asking out of pure curiosity.

So it replied: "There are no requirements, only one point."

"Nothing more than being in accordance with fate."

"If it cannot be in accordance, the contract will not be established, and for that kind of Master-Servant Contract, those who harbor malicious intent will also suffer a backlash."

Yu Jiaojiao was lost in thought.

She glanced at the expressions of the three seniors beside her, blinked her eyes, and decided that acting was better than just being tempted.

Yu Jiaojiao spoke boldly.

"Then..."

"I wonder if I could give it a try?"
