Chapter 443: Chapter 339: Unlimited Material
A contract, for some people, might mean command and oppression. But for Long Yi, it was something optional.
With this contract, Long Yi could quickly and conveniently summon Little Zi to assist himself, but without it, he could also devise other plans to fulfill his tactical needs.
Whether it was Bajie, Xiaoyou, or Little Zi, even Isrile, they all had contract relationships with Long Yi. But Long Yi had never used these contract relationships to order them to do anything.
Long Yi firmly believed that relationships maintained through friendship were far more stable than those enforced by orders.
That’s why everyone around Long Yi trusted him so much.
The next day, early in the morning.
Wesley and cook Mosquito, both came to Long Yi’s dormitory to help Long Yi strengthen his revision because he failed an exam and would have to retake it soon.
However, when a Female Demon opened the door, their eyes turned red.
The morning sunlight came in from the balcony, where two Female Demons were hanging clothes. In the kitchen, Little Zi was preparing breakfast with another Female Demon. Isrile was stretching and luxuriating, while the crystal-clear Crystal Stone girl Lingling, as always, stood there blankly. The sunshine fell on her, refracting a magnificent glow.
Long Yi was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a textbook, with Ai Lin.
"Good morning!" Long Yi put down the book and greeted them cheerfully.
"Ah, what’s this bitter taste?"
Mosquito suddenly asked.
"It’s the sorrow in the tears of youth."
The cook said.
"Why is the youth so desolate, so melancholic?"
Mosquito asked again.
"It’s because he sees the top student and the goddess showing affection early in the morning!"
The cook said, grinding his teeth.
"What should we do when we encounter this display of affection on campus?"
"Burn the heretic!"
Mosquito yelled.
The cook turned around and picked up the broom, his face fierce, his manner imposing.
Mosquito was rubbing his hands together, the fierceness in his eyes obvious!
All of a sudden, the cook rushed forward to start cleaning and Mosquito directly began to massage Long Yi’s back.
"Brother Long! You are my brother, please show the way for us brothers!"
The two brothers, the cook and Mosquito, started to whine and complain.
"Yes, Brother Long, this isn’t right! We endure the fact that you don’t discriminate people, and even species; now you’ve even stopped discriminating matter! You’re not leaving any room for us brothers to live!"
Mosquito also complained.
Ai Lin smirked and hid behind, as the pair had high comedic abilities. It wouldn’t end if one started arguing with them. It was safer to hide.
"Where is this coming from? Cook, didn’t your father find a girlfriend for you? What was her name...ah yes, Zhu Na. Just a little while after I killed that fool, Zhu Na came knocking at the door. She was so gentle and considerate, she obeyed and was very thoughtful. That fool was brainwashed, wasn’t he? I remember, you even bragged about taking the first blood," Long Yi said, laughing.
"We-----sle-----y----!" The cook yelled and was about to rush at Wesley.
"Cook, calm down! I never said that!" Wesley immediately defended loudly.
"Bullshit! I told you about this after getting drunk that day, I didn’t tell anyone else! It had to be you who let it slip!"
The cook yelled.
Turns out, shortly after the cook’s blind date incident, Zhu Na, accompanied by Osborne, came to apologize to the cook and his family.
The cook’s family was surprised by the vice captain’s personal apology. Later, Osborne explained that Zhu Na wasn’t actually headstrong, she was the part of a conspiracy hatched by her boyfriend, Sent, who was an undercover agent sent to White Dragon Empire. He disguised himself as a young man using his color-changing abilities. To cover his spy activities, he brainwashed Zhu Na numerous times, turning her into an extremely willful girl. In the end, Sent was killed, and Zhu Na was taken away by Osborne for interrogation, where the brainwashing was revealed. After a period of treatment, Zhu Na returned to her original temperament, but she was still ashamed and annoyed by everything she had done.
After the apology, Zhu Na visited the cook several times, repeatedly expressing regret for her actions.
But! The story took a dramatic turn here!
The chef unexpectedly fell for Zhu Na!
Even though the chef was a bit prickly about Zhu Na having had a boyfriend before, he couldn’t help but fall for her. The two of them quickly established a relationship which progressed rapidly.
Finally, one day, somewhere, after something, the chef was surprised to discover that he had scored his first ever win!
The shy Zhu Na confided in the chef that even though she had a relationship with Sent, Osborne strictly forbade her to overstep her bounds. For Sent, who aspired to become Osborne’s son-in-law, he naturally dared not tread recklessly. Moreover, Sent was a spy and terrified of his identity being exposed, therefore, the two of them didn’t even spend much time holding hands. Basically, their relationship was entirely maintained with the help of Sent’s hypnotism.
In his excitement, the chef immediately sought out Wesley and Mosquito. The three brothers had a wild celebration, with Wesley completely clueless about the cause of the chef’s inexplicable excitement!
Eventually, after the chef got drunk, he spilled the beans. Mosquito wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. This matter, even Zhu Na’s father Osborne, was not aware of.
The chef was terrified that Osborne would skin him alive if he found out.
"Actually, it’s not a big deal, Zhu Na is a few years older than you, she’s not a child. You’re now nineteen, you should just pick a good day and marry her!" Long Yi said with a chuckle.
"No way! I’m still young! I still have plenty of freedom! How could I willingly dive into the grave so soon?" The chef pouted and quickly changed his expression, "Hold on! Don’t try to change the subject! Brother Long, tell me the truth, did Wesley tell you about this? You can just tell me without worry, I promise not to beat him to death!"
"Are you speaking bird language? You’re going to kill me? With that lump of fat everywhere on your body?" Wesley glared back, defiant to the end.
"Actually, he didn’t tell me." Long Yi grinned.
"Then how do you know?" The chef was puzzled.
"Because at that time, I was in the next room..."
"What!" The chef’s eyes widened.
"That night, I was studying with Ai Lin and we got a bit hungry, so we went out to find something to eat. The first floor was booked by the army because they just had a night drill at the academy and there was no liquor there, so they booked the first floor of the restaurant. We went to the second floor with private rooms, and we were in room number three. When we arrived, you were confessing everything while hugging Wesley," Long Yi explained.
"And we were in room number four..." Wesley said.
"The rooms were separated by wooden planks with wide gaps, so we heard everything quite clearly," Long Yi added.
"But the good news is, there was no one else on the second floor," Wesley revealed.
"Brother!"
The chef almost instantly rushed over with tears and snot flowing, "Brother, you’re my real brother! You can’t tell anyone about this! That Osborne isn’t someone you can deal with easily, I don’t have the same courage as Brother Long to take him lightly. If he finds out about this, he will definitely eat me alive!"
Long Yi shook his head and said, "That shouldn’t happen. Originally, that blind date was something Osborne agreed to, and your progress wasn’t too fast, basically still within a normal timeframe, he shouldn’t do anything to you."
Mosquito chuckled, "What he’s really worried about is not what Osborne will do, but fearing that once Osborne finds out, he won’t be able to do anything anymore."
At first, Long Yi was shocked, then he laughed out loud, "I can’t help you with this."
In the White Dragon Empire, there were no specific restrictions for a man to marry, it was considered a proof of being a successful man to earn the favor of their beloved woman through pursuit.
However, this rule only applies to the dominant party.
Obviously, when it comes to family status, Osborne who is the vice captain of the Five Dragon Knights’ Legion was more dominant.
The chef, a bona fide man from the White Dragon Empire, knew this very well.
From beginning to end, Ai Lin kept trying to stifle her laughter. She never had such worries. Clearly, neither did Long Yi.
The person Long Yi liked the most was undoubtedly Elsa. Ai Lin was aware of this from the day she met Long Yi. She never thought of challenging Elsa’s position. In fact, Ai Lin even felt a bit inferior compared to Elsa. From Ai Lin’s point of view, simply being of the Celestial Clan was enough for Elsa to outrank Ai Lin. Especially in battle, Elsa could offer Long Yi tremendous support.
Ai Lin admits that she can never be as adroit and caring as Little Zi nor as fierce as Elsa. But Ai Lin has always been striving, she believes, this effort, one day, would transform her into a better woman.
Elsa is not by Long Yi’s side, and Little Zi is a female demon after all. Only she, Ai Lin, could truly fill the void and loneliness in Long Yi’s heart!
Yes, that’s what Ai Lin believes.
As for Isrile - she’s a Dragon Hunting Spider.
And Lingling - she’s a Crystal Stone.
They don’t count.
Moreover, Ai Lin was secretly delighted by the bond felt deep in her soul.
This bond brings her even closer to Long Yi; something that no one else, not even a newcomer, could ever compare to! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote and recommend it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read on m.qidian.com.)
