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.
