Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 221 failed?

The cold voice made Sun Sheng feel wronged. "Master, we almost died out there this time. You have no idea how dangerous it was..."

Bishui interrupted him, "Aren't you still alive and kicking?"

"Master..."

"Hurry back to the academy. The dean has personally devised a plan for you, which may help you improve your ranking in the academy competition."

Sun Sheng, who had just been looking aggrieved, suddenly brightened up. "Really?"

Tong Xu laughed from the side, "You brat, did your master lie to you? You and Mo both got involved."

"hey-hey."

"No, I knew Master was the best!"

Li Ru feigned dissatisfaction, "Master, you can't be biased. Didn't I?"

Bishui was always gentler with her female disciple. She said helplessly, "Yes, but can you endure that suffering?"

Li Ru crossed her arms and said proudly, "Why not?! If my senior brothers can do it, so can I!"

Chen Yue's presence made her feel a vague sense of crisis.

She can't afford to relax any longer.

With that, she turned and walked to Mo Qinghuan's side, and began to meditate and cultivate.

Sun Sheng glared at him, "You two, you've started secretly getting stronger behind my back again, and you didn't even call me!"

Not to be outdone, he quickly ran to the two of them and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing them all together, Tong Xu smiled with satisfaction, "These kids, I envy their relationship!"

"By the way, is everything alright?"

Bishui shook her head. "No, it seems that the injuries they sustained have all healed after that night."

As outsiders, they cannot interfere with the trial, nor can they get too close, otherwise they will be judged as having failed if discovered by the gatekeepers.

That night, the entire town was surrounded by a mysterious pink light, which her spiritual sense couldn't penetrate at all, so she had no idea what was happening.

All I could hear was that sacred and ethereal singing, cleansing my soul.

Bishui and Tongxu also seem to be affected.

She recalled the two people she had just seen and fell into deep thought.

Is it related to them?

...........

In the dark forest, everything was black.

There is no sunlight here.

The water was black, the trees were black, the palace was black, and the people...

It was deathly white.

"Gah... gah... gah..."

A line of black crows flew over the ancient castle standing in the forest, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"squeak."

The massive palace doors were pushed open, and a woman shrouded entirely in black strode in, kneeling with her forehead pressed to the ground, her voice filled with fear.

"My lord, Liu Laoqi and his companion are dead."

On a throne studded with black crystal and thorns, a pale-skinned man leaned back and rested.

"Failed?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, sometimes male, sometimes female.

"Yes."

Upon closer inspection, the woman's back trembled slightly, as if she were extremely frightened.

"Useless things."

"reason."

The woman stammered, "The experimental source escaped..."

"Escape?"

The man scoffed, "Hmph, your men are really useless; they can't even keep an eye on the experimental source."

The woman pressed her head firmly against the cold ground, her voice trembling, "My lord, please forgive me!"

"Da da da."

In the empty and desolate hall, the man's pale fingers snapped repeatedly, each snap like a death knell, making the woman's heart beat faster and faster!

Sweat dripped from her forehead, and her face grew paler and paler.

"Lord..."

The woman's voice began to weaken.

The man sighed softly and slowly stopped. "Never mind, fortunately it wasn't some important test subject."

"However, Lou Miao, I'll let you try this time for his sake. But if there's a next time..."

The man burst into laughter, opening his dark green eyes. "Hehehe..."

In the silent palace, the man's gaze was so eerie.

"I don't mind having another experimental source."

Lou Miao's face was terribly pale, and she kowtowed repeatedly, "My lord, thank you, my lord!"

"I will definitely complete the task you assigned me!"

The man closed his eyes. "Get out."

..............

"No, it's been two days since it ended, why haven't you made a contract with me yet?"

Feng Rou's dissatisfied voice rang out from inside the space.

"Wait a minute, there's no rush."

"Why aren't we in a hurry? Let's not waste time, okay?"

Feng Siyue spoke, her tone slightly perfunctory, "A contract should be made in a secluded and safe place, otherwise it would be very dangerous."

Feng Rou; "......."

makes sense.

Although the Yaoshan Lingyun Shark is extremely talented in healing, its combat strength is only average.

If you encounter a high-level divine beast, you can only run away.

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, but we still need to hurry."

Feng Siyue agreed, "Okay."

Feng Rou was completely immersed in the spirit pool, and flicked her tail.

She asked Qingqing, "Lord Qingqing, is Xuan Li really from this world?"

The Yanxu Slaughtering Spirit Butterfly has never had a precedent of recognizing a master, not even in that place.

"Huh? Why would you ask that? Sister Li is a native of this world, what's wrong?"

Feng Rou, leaning against the shore, looked at the beautiful woman beside Feng Siyue and said, "I have an indescribable feeling, a kind of suppression from the depths of my soul. Didn't you feel it, Lord Qingqing?"

suppress?

Qingqing thought she was joking. "Feng Rou, Sister Li is a human, there's no doubt about that. If she were some kind of cultivator or divine beast thousands of years old, I would definitely be able to tell."

"is it?"

Feng Rou remained skeptical.

She has always been confident in her intuition.

"Hey, why are you thinking about these things? Sister Li and Xiao Fengfeng have a life-and-death friendship, you can rest assured!"

Feng Rou didn't speak, but her gaze became increasingly probing.

She didn't bring up the contract again, which relieved Feng Siyue.

Actually, safety is one thing, but her bigger concern is that the power she gained through the contract always gives her the illusion that it doesn't belong to her.
