Narrowing her eyes into a slit, a flash of cold light glimmers in those irises: âXiachen, Iâll leave this sword here with you. If you see this guy showing any signs of resistance, kill him right away!â
The monster recognized Dragonyâs identity but didnât with her boy, thatâs why she left this command just in case as a bluff and not a real threat.
âOkay,â the little steambun nodded immediately in understanding. âDonât worry Mother, if he dares to so much as flinch, I will kill him immediately!â
Pleased by her boyâs reassurance, Bai Yan didnât need to wait and closed her eyes in order to spread out the feelers for the ritual.
Not good!
The snake went white from this. She wanted to stop this from happening, however, the second she inched forward was when her eyes caught a glimmer of that sword. As a result of this hesitation, she retreated and left the two to finish their ritual.
âThe contract has been reached, now I will fulfill my promise to release you.â With a stretch of her hand, the giant sword instantly flies into her grasp and allowed her to slice down, slashing the chains and destroying part of the metallic spears pinning the old monster in place.
Dragon Flame definitely showed an elated face after being freed, but that excitement promptly turned to dismay in the next second until it devolved into full blown anger. He rushed Bai Yan like heâs seen a lifetime menace from out of the blue.
âItâs you! Itâs you, youâre the one who locked me here in this godforsaken place! Iâm going to kill you!â
Bang!
But before his body could even draw close to Bai Yan, an invisible force had repelled his charge and sent him rolling back multiple meters away. This was the constraint of being bound by a familiar contract. Due to this reasoning, Dragon Flame wouldnât be able to hurt his own mistress.
Snickering at the damnable goat monster, âIt looks like my premonition is correct, you indeed want to hurt me. Fortunately Iâve contracted you, now you canât do anything against me anymore.â
Spewing fire from his eyes, the dragon god snaps back: âHow dare you say such despicable words to me! If it wasnât for you, I wouldnât be in such a miserable state to begin with! If I had known from the beginning, I would rather be chained for the chest of my life than to do this deal!â
Bai Yan actually got surprised by the outcry of her familiar: âYou know me?â
âDonât pretend like you donât know anything. You may have changed your shell but I will recognize you even if I turn to ash! Now through this contract I am certain it is you!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sheâs absolutely dumbfounded by this twist of event.
Why do I get the feeling this monster really does know me, and sounds like Iâm the one who locked him away here in the first placeâ¦.
Dragon Flame then pointed to the remaining parts of those spears still inserted in his body: âYou also used these things to seal my strength! Donât think for a minute you can deny youâre her!â
âThisâ¦â Scratching her nose, Bai Yan cracks an awkward laugh to defuse the situation: âI really donât know anything regarding the stuff you mentioned, I only came to the Celestial Realm recently. Before that I was always in the human world and Demon Realm.â
Now it was the dragon god to become confused by what heâs heard. âHuman world? Demon Realm? What the heck are you going on about? You think I will believe the nonsense you are saying?â
Shrugging at being called a liar: âBelieve it or not, Iâve never seen you before. As for why Iâm here, I fell into this place by accident and didnât know a way out.â
