Test (2)

Qian Shangchen's eyes flew wide open. His footsteps stopped on the spot abruptly. 

Backs could only be entrusted to comrades!

Backs…

Qian Shangchen met Yunxuan's eyes. He could not resist but call her with uncertainty, "Qi Ye?"

Yunxuan turned her head back as warmth surged from her eyes. "Qian Shangchen, as long as there's no betrayal between us, we are good. There is no such thing as who should protect whom. If you need it, I can protect you too!"

Such were the principles she held towards her comrades. 

A passionate warmth and hope burned from the bottom of Qian Shangchen's heart. To have a comrade with a bond like this — he had yearned this for a long time. 

Before this, regardless of the person, they would fawn over and curry favor with him just for his capabilities and his status. Even the same applied to his parents who had raised him. 

Every single person only gave him material satisfaction. They would never try to understand what he really needed. 

His grandfather only knew to ask him to increase his abilities, but he never asked if he was willing to.

He had truly envied the Zhan's family's Ms. Seven, Zhan Yunxuan. 

Even though she was trash, she was pampered and well-liked by her family. 

He envied such unconditional pampering and love that demanded nothing in return. 

Today, he gained an emotion that he had been longing for all this time. Qian Shangchen felt his body relax. All the nerves in his body felt like they had been wrapped in a warm flame. It was so comfortable that he wanted to moan out loud. All the bones in his body felt like they wanted to scream out into song. 

Yunxuan stared at Qian Shangchen, dumbstruck. After a long time, the corner of her lips twitched. She thought to herself, "You don't need to go that far, right?"

Everyone looked at Qian Shangchen, then back at Yunxuan. Their eyes were filled with confusion. 

Just a few sentences had been enough for him to rank up? It was not right to mock them like that.

A white light shone, and the five spirit star appeared under Qian Shangchen. 

Just then, the rules of heaven and earth were created. 

Six stars, Seven Stars, Eight Stars!

Yunxuan touched her chin with her hand as she watched Qian Shangchen level up. She was very curious now. What could his Origin Contracted Beast possibly be? 

Fundamentally, such level-ups were very common. However, leveling three ranks up in a row was something else entirely

Of course, she was an exception herself. 

The white light gradually faded away. Qian Shangchen had raised his rank successfully. A small winged green dragon appeared in front of everyone. 

"Heh, so it's a little green dragon." Yunxuan looked at the little green dragon. Her eyes held a new realization and admiration. 

It had wings and seemed to be a "mixed breed"!

"Master, that is the offspring of the green dragon and violet phoenix. It has both of their characteristics!" Bing Yue sensed Yunxuan's thoughts from within the spacial ring, so he promptly answered her questions. 

No wonder! Yunxuan nodded while thinking to herself, this pedigree was not just any old elite or noble breed!

Suddenly, one of the origin contract beasts within her moved. Yunxuan was excited, thinking it was about to awaken.

But after that single movement, he went back to dormancy.

Yunxuan sweatdropped. Was he toying with her again? All her excitement had been for nothing!

The little green dragon's body suddenly expanded by a few dozen times. Its two front claws were hard and strong. Its draconic head was held up high, as its roar screeched to the heavens. It echoed throughout the Black Falls Valley Forest. 

Many spirit beasts felt the little green dragon's coercion weigh down on them. Their legs turned to jelly as they dropped, crouching to the ground. 

"Sha Yu!" Qian Shangchen yelled out. Sha Yu quickly turned back and followed him obediently. 

"Master, I've leveled up!" A crisp, childish voice came out from Sha Yu's mouth. It was disorientating to hear such a voice come from such a colossal body.

But then again, it was a handsome man paired with a green dragon; this combination was just too cool.

After leveling up, Qian Shangchen's skin seemed to glow even more. It was also more translucent than before. The royal blue armor made him look even more handsome. His black hair tousled in the wind, and his slim figure had people in awe.

"Sha Yu, have you become a sacred spirit beast?" Qian Shangchen's tone was riddled with shock and excitement. 

"Yes, master!" Sha Yu was obviously very happy. His joy mirrored his master as he flew up to Qian Shangchen. He rubbed his small head against his cheek and said, "Sha Yu is now a one-star sacred spirit beast!"

Yunxuan came up to Qian Shangchen, her eyes clearly smiling, "Congratulations, Qian Shangchen. And you too, Sha Yu!"

Qian Shangchen beamed and said, "Thank you, Qi Ye!"

He reached out and hugged Yunxuan. 

Yunxuan froze for a while. Then she soon reached out her arms to hug him back. 

Qian Shangchen let go, his face blushing slightly. 

Sha Yu flew down in front of Yunxuan and planted a loving kiss onto her cheek. With a laugh, it flew bashfully back into Qian Shangchen's ring space. 

Yunxuan touched her cheek. It felt odd.

A little green dragon just sneaked in a kiss on her?

Bing Yue rolled with laughter in the spacial ring. 

Jealousy showed up in Qian Shangchen's face. Taking the chance while Yunxuan was distracted, he rapidly left a kiss on her face before he turned his face away. 

Yunxuan was stunned. What was going on here? Another sneaky kiss?

Qian Shangchen gave a far-fetched explanation. "I wanted it to be fair, Sha Yu got a kiss in too!"

Eh?

Yunxuan was speechless. Was that even an excuse?

"We want it to be fair too!" Chai Yang pouted unhappily and ran towards Yunxuan.

"Me too!"

"Same for us too!"

Yunxuan was confused. What was going on? Without any further thoughts, Yunxuan turned. Just as she was about to leave...

"Teaching assistant, in the name of fairness!"

Someone shouted and blocked Yunxuan from taking another step.

Everyone ran towards Yunxuan, each one hugged the immobilized Yunxuan and stretched their mouths out to kiss her on the face. 

Fairness!

To hell with fairness!

Yunxuan was gritting her teeth in her mind!

After everyone was done kissing Yunxuan, their joy and satisfaction were painted all over their faces. 

Yunxuan was almost fried to a crisp from her infuriation.

Was this necessary?

"Is this the fairness that you guys wanted?" Yunxuan asked. 

Only then did everyone remember how Yunxuan treated them. They immediately felt a pang of guilt.

However… What was done was done!

"Of course!" Everyone answered in unison.
