Chapter 706: Contract, advance in rank
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue was rather surprised when she saw Old and the others leading Su Li up. Although she did Duess that she would come up, she didn’t expect her to decide so quickly.
It seemed that Su Li cared for the child a lot more than she expected.
Third Aunt Du saw that Su Li had come up, and walked over quickly, asking worriedly, “Su Li, how are you feeling?”
Su Li was still feeling a little weak, but she was better than before. She answered weakly, “Not bad. Was it you who saved me just now?”
“I haven’t saved you yet. I merely helped you tide through a difficult period.” Sima You Yue said, as she patted away the grass from her butt. She walked over and pressed down lightly on her round belly. It was still rather hard, “Not bad.”
“Thank you.” Su Li said, gratefully. If not for her, she would never have regained consciousness, and would never have felt the heartbeat of her child ever again. “Will the contract really save me and my child?”
“The contract is able to heal your wounds, which will naturally stabilize your child.” Sima You Yue said. “It was because your child was injured and sensed that its life was in danger that it started to absorb the spirit energy of its surroundings. Once things go back to normal, it will naturally quieten down as well.”
“It won’t be birthed right now, right?”
“It isn’t due yet, and it wouldn’t be good for it to be delivered now. Otherwise, it will return back to how it was before. It would be better to let it continue to develop slowly in your womb.” Sima You Yue said, “The child in your belly is a deviant, so it will be higher in rank than you all are. That’s why it will need a little longer than you reach maturity.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you. You should have a beast tamer master here, right?” Su Li asked.
“We don’t lack for any beast master tamer. However, have you thought it through? There’s no turning back, there’s no room for regrets.” Sima You Yue asked.
“For the sake of my child, losing my freedom means nothing.” Su Li said unwaveringly.
“Because the child is in your womb, the contract will bind him as well.” Sima You Yue pointed this out too.
Su Li did hesitate at this, but she finally said with conviction, “It’s still better than dying. However, I have a request.”
“Say it.”
Su Li looked at Third Aunt Du, saying, “I hope that you will be the one to form a contract with me.”
“Me?” Third Aunt Du was surprised as she immediately shook her head, “Although I do have a Spirit Beast Life Contract, I cannot form a contract with you. Su Li, I cannot do this to you.”
“It’s fine. I am willing to form a contract with you.” Su Li said, “Only by forming a contract with you will I be assured. I believe that, for you, it will be the same whether or not it is a life contract.”
Third Aunt Du saw the trust in her eyes and nodded. “Relax, I will not let you suffer as my contracted beast. We are friends and we will always be friends.”
Sima You Yue always knew that Third Aunt Du was a good person. Who would have thought that, while her time here was short, she would have formed such a good relationship with Su Li.
“You Yue, let’s start.” Third Aunt Du said as she turned to Wei Zi Qi, “I’ll have to trouble you.”
“Third Aunt, it isn’t me.” Wei Zi Qi said as he waved his hands.
“Not you? Aren’t you a beast tamer master?”
“I am, but I’m not as powerful as You Yue. If you got me to contract the Spirit Silkworm Queen, there wouldn’t be enough time.” Wei Zi Qi said.
“You Yue’s a beast tamer master as well?”
“Yue Yue, you’re a beast tamer master? Why didn’t I know this?”
Third Aunt Du and Little Seven both turned to Sima You Yue with puzzlement as they cried out. Little Wu was so surprised that he couldn’t speak, merely staring at her dazedly.
“You never asked!” Sima You Yue shrugged as she took out a bed and got someone to place Su Li on it, “Let her lie on this.”
Old Sun and the others moved to place Su Li on the bed. As Sima You Yue came to the bedside, she placed a hand on her forehead and summoned her inner imperial beast art, beginning the taming process.
Su Li didn’t have much time, so the taming process had to be done quickly. It was a good thing that she was not resisting her, so the process was a lot quicker.
After half a day had passed, You Yue completed the taming process.
“Third Aunt, you may contract with her.” Sima You Yue retreated to the side and Third Aunt Du stepped forward, placing a hand on her forehead.
The contracting light quickly shrouded both of them. Once the light scattered, the contract between the both of them had succeeded.
“Queen’s aura has stabilised!” The spirit silkworms cheered on the shore.
Su Li could feel the connection to Third Aunt Du from within her, and sensed the condition of her child before she managed to relax. However, before she spoke, the light of their rank advancement shrouded them.
It had been a long time since Third Aunt Du had advanced in rank. Who would have thought that the contract this time would have pushed her through her dead end.
Su Li was the same. Now, not only was her condition stable, she had even advanced by a rank. She could feel that it was as if her child had absorbed quite a bit of power as it grew a little bigger.
Once the rays had faded, the spirit silkworms were going crazy. It had been a few tens of years since their queen had advanced in rank. Who would have thought that she would have advanced in rank after forming a contract. This was too inconceivable.
Spirit silkworms were a clan that was naturally filled with spirit energy. They could spit out silk that contained spirit energy. This was a gift from the heavens. However, despite this, it took longer for them to advance in rank, and it was also harder.
Su Li climbed off the bed as she straightened herself, saying gratefully, “Thank you. You have saved me and my child.”
“You are a friend of Third Aunt Du. Third Aunt will only be happy if you are well.” Sima You Yue said, “However, you are now Third Aunt’s contracted beast and have no choice but to follow her around. Then, they…”
She saw the glances of the spirit silkworms on the shore. Would these guys let them leave?
“Queen…” The spirit silkworms were troubled when they thought about this issue.
The queen was now their contracted beast and had to follow Third Aunt Du. What were they to do?
“You may pick a new ruler.” Su Li said.
“Without the bloodline of the queen, nobody would be confident no matter who the ruler is.” Old Sun said.
“But I have to leave. You can’t follow me forever.” Su Li said.
“We will leave with Queen.” Su Li’s servant girls said.
They had gone through the thunder trials, and were human in appearance. Although their bodies were only one feet tall, it wasn’t a big deal if they wanted to leave.
“We want to follow Queen as well.” The spirit silkworms cried out from the shore.
“That’s right, Queen, don’t abandon us.” Some spirit silkworms were already crying.
Su Li was so troubled that she began to cry as well, “Why are you following me? I will have to go far away in the future. Do you guys want that as well?”
“Wherever Queen goes, we go.”
Old Sun, who had been silent, said something that Su Li could not refute.
“Queen, you have a contract with everyone else as well. If you die, the next ruler will not be able to attain this.”
As such, no matter where she went, their clan would be also.
