When a beautiful woman asked for a pact, no matter what it was, he just had to agree to it.

“Alright, let’s make a pact. What are your conditions?” Yu Guang said generously, raising his hand and handing the decision to Cui Anyu.

No matter what he thought in his heart, after signing the contract, he would be the master. If he didn’t speak first, Cui Anyu might hesitate for a long time.

“Alright! First, you must hide the contract relationship with everyone else. We’ll still be ordinary classmates to the public,” Cui Anyu said softly, pursing her lips.

“No problem.”

“Second, when you can cancel the contract, you must cancel it immediately and give me my freedom!”

“I promise.”

“Third, we must preserve the space between us and respect each other’s lives. We won’t ask too much about our studies and cultivation.”

“I’ll do as you say.”

The three conditions could be said to be the basic rules of interaction between classmates, but to beastmasters who had signed a contract, it was equivalent to signing an ancestor. Even though it was clearly a master-subordinate relationship, they still had to treat each other as equals.

However, Yu Guangshen was in a high position as the master, so he readily agreed to all three conditions. This made Cui Anyu’s heart throb inexplicably.

“The familiar bait made me feel so strange!” she silently found an excuse for herself. Her eyes subconsciously stole a glance at Yu Guang, and when their eyes met, she quickly turned away.

“Yu Guang, do you have anything to add?” Cui Anyu asked shyly.

Her coldness disappeared in front of Yu Guang, like a timid and restless kitten—sometimes intense and sometimes delicate.

But after waiting for a while, Yu Guang did not answer.

Cui Anyu’s eyes were full of doubt, thinking that Yu Guang had other considerations. She carefully looked over and found that he was staring at a certain spot in the void.

“Yu Guang, what’s wrong?” Cui Anyu asked worriedly.

Yu Guang’s eyes did not move as he raised his hand to interrupt her. “Don’t talk yet.”

His words were like an imperial edict. Cui Anyu immediately covered her mouth with both hands and slowed down her breathing.

[ Congratulations, host, for successfully signing a subdued beast. The ‘Two-way Amplification’ skill has been unlocked! ]

The system popped up the attribute panel again, drawing Yu Guang’s attention away. To an outsider, it looked like he was staring at a certain point in a daze.

The so-called Two-way Amplification referred to the ability of a subdued beast to greatly increase its attributes within a certain range of space between the beastmaster and the subdued beast. The beastmaster could amplify the subdued beast’s skill and use it for their own use.

Yu Guang was extremely excited, but since Cui Anyu was right in front of him, he couldn’t express it openly.

“What did you say just now?” After Yu Guang digested the skill, he remembered that Cui Anyu seemed to be talking to him just now.

Cui Anyu put down her hand that was covering her mouth and repeated, “I asked if you had anything else to add.”

“No,” Yu Guang said decisively. “It’s already very late. Why don’t I send you back first?”

‘Go back?’ Cui Anyu was slightly disappointed when she heard these two words. She knew that Yu Guang didn’t mean anything else, but she was still a little disappointed. In order to hide the excitement in her heart, she returned to her usual cold and aloof self.

“It’d be troublesome if anyone saw us together again. I can go back by myself…”

Before she finished her sentence, Cui Anyu felt a chill slowly gush out from her dantian. It was cold but not strong, like the melted snow in early spring, gathering from the peak of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. A strange feeling filled her seven meridians and eight arteries.

Ever since she was appraised, Cui Anyu had been feeling mentally exhausted. It was as if her body was wrapped in cotton wool soaked in water. Plus, she had experienced the torment of the gastroscope. To be honest, she was so tired that she didn’t want to move anymore.

But at this moment, she could clearly feel her strength recovering within her body!

Cui Anyu pinched her palms in disbelief, and she found a faint chill swirled around her fingertips.

“Could this be the influence of an SSS beastmaster?” Cui Anyu was secretly surprised, her cold eyes filled with astonishment.

She had made it very clear before that subdued beasts and beastmasters influenced each other. Beastmasters would find powerful subdued beasts, and then rely on the latter to improve, knowing that the two would reach the same height.

However, it was the exact opposite for Yu Guang. The SSS-level Yu Guang dragged Cui Anyu along, and she actually awakened an unexpected skill.

Cui Anyu clenched her fists in excitement. “Even if I can’t become a beastmaster, now that I’ve awakened other skills, I can still kill demonic beasts! It’s the same thing!”

She looked at Yu Guang gratefully, and the words of gratitude lingered on the tip of her tongue. For a moment, she was too embarrassed to say them.

“I’m going back to cultivate,” Cui Anyu said expressionlessly, but her tone was very gentle. “You should rest early too.”

“Are you sure you don’t need me to send you back?” Yu Guang asked.

He wasn’t worried that Cui Anyu would run into danger on the way back. After all, he was Cui Anyu’s beastmaster now. If there were any strange movements in her body, he could basically feel them right away.

It was probably at this moment that Cui Anyu realized she had an ice skill in her body, and she couldn’t wait to go back and try it out.

Yu Guangxin knew that, but he didn’t mention it.

First, they had made a pact not to interfere with each other’s cultivation process. Second, he didn’t really want Cui Anyu to be his subdued beast, so he didn’t care about her cultivation. After all, she had an S-rank skill, and there were probably not many people in school who could beat Cui Anyu. He said that he wanted to send her back because he was concerned about her.

“There’s really no need. I’m leaving.” Cui Anyu waved her hand and turned around. She opened the door and walked out softly.

Even though she was reluctant to leave, she wanted to know more about her skill. She could not wait to go home. She wished that she could grow a pair of wings.

“But I’m a little sorry to Yu Guang,” Cui Anyu said to herself.

The happier she was, the guiltier she felt. She had accidentally eaten a god-tier familiar bait and awakened other skills thanks to Yu Guang’s SSS-level halo. This was enough to prove how precious a god-tier familiar bait was.

Yu Guang could have used this familiar bait to find more powerful familiars.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to look in Yu Guang’s direction. “Forget it. When we get home, I’ll get Dad to find you a better familiar egg. That way, we won’t owe each other anything!”

Cui Anyu’s father had a special power, so the familiar eggs he found wouldn’t be bad. It could be considered as Yu Guang’s replacement for a reliable familiar.

Thinking about this, Cui Anyu’s restless heart calmed down a little, and she walked briskly home.

On the other side…

Yu Guang sent Cui Anyu off, recalling the system’s reaction when they signed the contract.

It was really a passive system. He had to take action on his side first so that the other side would respond accordingly.

Yu Guang couldn’t help but have a thought. He simply called out to the system and asked, “What are the conditions for the third effect to be unlocked?”

[ Unlock condition: Fight together with the familiar and obtain victory. ]

Yu Guang’s eyebrows twitched. This condition was simple, but it was also tricky. It wasn’t difficult to win a battle. After all, his condition was right there. It would be difficult for him to lose even if he wanted to.

However, judging from Cui Anyu’s attitude, she probably didn’t want to be ordered around like a subdued beast…
