The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 599 - 259: Night Angel_1

Shattered Rock Prison — had finally returned to peace.

Ye Xueman’s remains were nowhere to be found, only her broken storage ring which had scattered numerous valuable items.

Ye Hu, Ye Min, Ye Chenmu, none of them made demands or attempts for redemption. They just left in disappointment.

Watching their departing figures, Ye Liuying instructed Mrs. Qing who was standing beside her.

"Mrs. Qing, could you please clear the battlefield?"

"Sure, I will handle it – rest assured, miss."

Qing Sheng bowed and took the initiative to give away her spot.

Wan Ming showed understanding, knowing that the two princesses had been separated for a while and needed time to catch up and reminisce about old times.

"A small gathering?"

"Indeed!"

Riding the Blood Moon Sky Wolf, they arrived at the peak of a large mountain.

Ye Hanjun, with familiarity, incessantly took out tools for cooking like the Dragon Fragrant Charcoal, the Dry Pressing Furnace, and the Secret Gold Case Board from his storage ring.

Ye Liuying quite familiarly pulled out all kinds of beast meat, presenting a wide array of dishes on the table.

"Tiger Head Shrimp, Octoped Duck, Strange-tail Deer, ’Fatty’ Goose...all these are mere snacks?"

Ye Hanjun made a tsk-tsk sound, directly pulling out a huge chunk of ice.

The ice chunk that was so high, about five meters, sealed two palm-sized golden-red slices of meat inside it.

"Try it, these are slices of raw Golden Jiao Fish, taken from two Heaven and Earth Stage creatures. It is said that they are so fresh that they melt in your mouth."

Ye Liuying blinked, not making any moves.

She simply sat down, waiting for Ye Hanjun to crack the ice and place the raw fish slices into her plate.

"Slurp!"

After one slurp, the fish slice entered her stomach.

Ye Liuying squeezed her lips, grabbed the tea soup next to her, and drank heartily.

"Nothing special, in fact, it is a bit greasy."

After finishing the tea soup, Ye Liuying commented casually.

Ye Hanjun snorted lightly, sat down and began enjoying the raw fish slices.

A tiny piece of meat, was divided into five slices by him, each of them were slowly chewed in his mouth.

"Your tongue is pickier than mine, it’s really hard to please."

"There’s no way around it, I’ve been eating delicacies for years, it’s only because you just returned from outside, everything tastes new and fresh."

Ye Hanjun, surprised, gave it a thought and nodded in agreement: "There’s a point."

"GuaGua!"

GuaGua, who had a cunning look, sneaked up onto Ye Liuying’s head to take a closer look at her.

Ye Liuying raised her head, looking straight into GuaGua’s eyes, her face revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Seems like, your Trial Ground wasn’t too bad, you even managed to find these rare Fond Spirits."

"And you are not bad either, Giant Tribe is also among the high-tier species. Being able to find it in the Trial Ground is also a good fortune."

"It’s not the same."

Ye Liuying casually picked up a piece of deer meat, placed it on the barbecue plate, and casually said:

"Whether it’s the Stone Giant or the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum, both were negotiated after I returned to the clan."

The hand of Ye Hanjun suddenly stopped.

The last slice of raw fish hadn’t been put into his mouth yet, he simply put it back into his plate.

Ye Liuying was not an Active Awakener.

Without a Blood Covenant Fond Spirit, not even a normal Contracted Spirit, it would be impossible for her to pass the trial.

There was only one possibility left.

"Hmm."

Ye Liuying didn’t show any expressions of sadness or any other emotions. As usual, she said:

"The first Fond Spirit contracted during the trial period is already dead."

"This happened after I set foot in the Shattered Rock Prison. Due to it, I suffered a period of backlash. Then, because of convalescence, the growth of my powers was delayed."

"Who did it?"

Ye Hanjun’s laughter ceased, only coldly uttering those three words.

The relationship between the human and their Contracted Spirit Fond Sprit was severely close, that didn’t need to be stated excessively.

Given Liuying’s temperament, the more calm her expression was, the more it meant that this relationship had become an irreparable crack in her heart.

"Already dead." Ye Liuying gave a sigh, chewed on the deer meat, murmured vaguely, "Just recently."

"Ye Xueman?"

Ye Hanjun raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"The same trick." Ye Liuying said emotionlessly: "Also first found one or two people to spar with me."

"At least drained me of forty to fifty percent, even seventy percent of my power, then switch to another person, continue to launch Blood Halberd."

"They were quite cunning, wouldn’t select those who are older than me. Chose those who were younger than me by a year, had similar powers, and also possessed Blood Covenant Fond Spirits to launch Blood Halberd at me. Out of three trials, there were always one or two I couldn’t refuse."

"Really unscrupulous, it’s just like our ’beloved’ clan members."

With mutters, Ye Hanjun let the murderous intent seep back in his body.

"It doesn’t matter."

Ye Liuying said indifferently:

"Let her do what she wants, when my day comes, there won’t be any chance for her to struggle."

"As for Ye Xuezhu... she is a threat that should not be underestimated."

"But I have been investigating in advance, she seems to have taken on an important task. Whether she can return to the clan within a few months is still a question."

"When she comes back, we should have new preparations. We won’t be like fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered casually."

"Indeed." Ye Hanjun nodded lightly, "Our worst situation right now is time."

"Those Young Kings, if they fought at the same level, could not give me too much trouble."

"However, they are older, and they are often at the 5th rank peak, or even 6th rank. We are now just fledglings, there’s no chance to win if we recklessly fight."

"Do you have a plan?"

Ye Liuying finished all the deer meat, then drank several mouthfuls of tea soup. Letting out a belch, her clear eyes landed on Ye Hanjun’s face.

"Haven’t I already spread the word for those people to not bother us until the Dragon Hunting Contest?"

Ye Hanjun smiled, "Unless something unexpected happens, we should at least have half a year of development time."
