Chapter 317 - Sibling Contract

Chapter 317 Sibling Contract

The first day of trials came to an end.

The names of the Top 100 winners came out.

Along with the names of the Top 1000 winners.

The two name lists occupied the first pages of all the major media and Longjiang Base City’s intranet.

The ones receiving the most attention were the more outstanding ones on the Top 100 list. Many websites were hosting voting activities. The one that people thought was the most promising to win the championship was Mu Yuanshou from the Mu family.

That man was stunning. He defeated countless participants in the trial. No one stood a chance to win against him!

He was from the Mu family.

Naturally, the general public believed Mu Yuanshou was going to win, just like Mu Yunfei did, the last champion of the Elite League.

However, every one of the upper class elites was aware that Mu Yuanshou was merely Mu Chen’s guardian. A guardian would never be allowed to win the championship.

Coming up in the second place was Ye Longtian!

With his excellent and violent performance during the trial, he had become the center of attention. He single-handedly killed off almost half of the participants and demonstrated his unmatched power.

He was the current future family head of the Ye family!

Liu Jianxin was in third place.

Also from the Liu family.

The fourth one on the list was from the Liu family, Liu Qingfeng. At fifth place was Zhou Yun.

The sixth one…

And the seventh…

Qin Shaotian had the eighth highest support rate.

Then Xu Kuang.

Su Lingyue was at the thirteenth place.

With the Moonfrost Dragon and the championship event that people animatedly discussed had increased her popularity.

As of that moment, the negative voices bashing Su Lingyue had died down on the internet. Her beautiful performance had saved her reputation. The Liu family no longer employed any dirty tricks. At this point, to disturb her with those negative reviews was pointless.

Su Ping bade farewell to Qin Shuhai and Fei Yanbo, then drove Su Lingyue back home.

Since all the TV channels were broadcasting the trials, their mom watched it as well. When they arrived home, their mom walked over to greet them with excitement and happiness visible on her face. She took Su Lingyue’s hands and rambled on and on about the trial. She shared with them how nervous she was during that time and how proud and thrilled she was when Su Lingyue saved the day in the end.

Su Lingyue felt a bit awkward to be drowning in praises.

Su Ping was jealous since their mother was saying so many nice words to Su Lingyue. However, after an hour, he realized that sometimes, praise could be torture.

He felt that he was lucky his ears didn’t have to suffer. Good.

That night, Su Ping enjoyed a feast with Su Lingyue.

Even at the dinner table, their mom kept going, complimenting Su Lingyue nonstop. She said that she could tell Su Lingyue was “promising” from her bedwetting days when she was three, currently living up to everyone’s expectations.

And then Li Qingru said she could tell that Su Lingyue would make a good battle pet warrior when she beat up a boy to tears since he had pulled her hair, making him run back home to his parents. Su Lingyue wished she could find a hole to bury herself in.

Su Ping tried so hard to stop himself from laughing that his stomach ached. He had no recollection about her wetting her bed at that age. He never knew that this girl, who was as pretty as a flower and was regarded as a muse in her class, was capable of such gallant deeds in her childhood.

The dinner finally came to an end. Same as before, Su Ping went to the store to make use of the time to cultivate in a nursing

pen.

Since it was still early, Su Lingyue went to the store as well.

Su Ping didn’t drive her away. It was his plan for her to become more familiar with the Moonfrost Dragon as well, in case she would slow her pet down later on.

A weak teammate could jeopardize everything. Not to mention that she was awfully weak.

“What are you laughing at?” Su Lingyue walked behind him, biting her teeth.

“I’m not laughing.”

“But your shoulders are shaking!”

“It is late. I’m cold.”

“You!… You’d better forget all of that!”

“Forget that you used to wet your bed?”

Su Lingyue was losing her mind. I knew it! This guy is laughing at me!

“Mom is making things up. I remember my childhood. I couldn’t have done that. You’re the one who wetted your bed. Mom said it wrong!” Su Lingyue kept on grinding her teeth.

Su Ping grinned. Scapegoating, huh? They had arrived at the store. Su Ping gently pushed the door and it opened. He needed no keys because his spirit was the key.

Su Ping went into the test room. He was no longer laughing. “I suggest you get used to the Moonfrost Dragon. At the moment, you cannot tap its full potential yet. You won’t make a qualified battle pet warrior if you cannot master your pet completely.”

Su Lingyue pouted and glared at him. She was well aware of what she had done that day. She was no longer in the mood to badger Su Ping over childhood anecdotes he heard over dinner.

“Would I break your room?” Su Lingyue went into the test room.

Su Ping grinned. “Try it.”

Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows. She summoned both the Phantom Flame Beast and the Moonfrost Dragon.

“How about you train with me?” Su Lingyue thought of an idea. She sized Su Ping up and down with a malicious look.

Su Ping did not expect this. “You said it.” He smiled.

“Hmm. Have at it.”

Su Ping curled his lips. He closed the door and asked, “What kind of setting do you want?” “Comprehensive,” Su Lingyue decided.

She knew that a world of ice would be better for the Moonfrost Dragon and she would have it easier when fighting against Su Ping. However, there may not be a freezing environment in the matches of the following day. Usually the settings would be for comprehensive environments. She was training to be prepared for the next round.

Su Ping nodded and adjusted the setting.

A plain with woods, lake, and boulders appeared.

The battleground seemed to be able to extend to infinity. The inside of the room was much bigger than the outside. People could fight as much as they liked.

Su Lingyue hopped into the battleground at once.

Her pets followed her closely.

“First things first, you cannot use that skeleton,” Su Lingyue said, The skeleton remained fresh in her memory. Back at the exchange match at the academy, the terrifying skeleton almost killed the Abyss Snake with one slash.

Su Ping smiled. “Using the skeleton against you is a waste.”

Su Lingyue was angry to see Su Ping belittling her. Without further ado, she initiated the fight. First, she had the Phantom Flame Beast blast at Su Ping.

Su Ping dodged to the side with agility and remained unharmed after the Phantom Flame Beast’s bombardment.

“Terror Shrill.”

The Phantom Flame Beast suddenly uttered a piercing scream that could cause mental confusion. For some people whose mental power was weaker than the Phantom Flame Beast, they would feel dread because of this scream. In more serious cases, people affected by the scream could become confused, or immobilized and unable to think.

Su Ping could feel the incoming spiritual attack. He squinted. He formed his spiritual power into a ring and then forged another hammer with his spiritual power. The hammer landed on the ring, causing some vibrations.

The spiritual attack that was coming at Su Ping was worn off by the vibrations.

“Breath of Ice!”

While the Phantom Flame Beast was using the “Terror Shrill”, Su Lingyue had the Moonfrost Dragon take action. The two skills should have cooperated well. However, the Moonfrost Dragon had just breathed out ice when Su Ping hopped to the side and avoided the strike.

Su Lingyue couldn’t believe that the Phantom Flame Beast’s spiritual attack would be ineffective.

Whoosh!

Su Ping dashed toward Su Lingyue all of a sudden.

The Phantom Flame Beast and the Moonfrost Dragon reacted fast and stepped forward at the same time.

Roar!!

Su Ping’s throat widened. He opened his mouth and let out a dragon’s roar!

That violent roar stunned both the Moonfrost Dragon and the Phantom Flame Beast, especially the latter. The Phantom Flame Beast fell to the ground, shivering, and fear filled its clear eyes.

Then, Su Ping ran ahead past the Moonfrost Dragon and approached Su Lingyue.

Ding!

He flickered his finger on her forehead gently. The girl came back to her senses as if awakening from a dream.

Staring at Su Ping who was standing right in front of her, Su Lingyue felt sad and fearful all at once. She realized that she was much weaker than she had imagined.

Could she win in the next round?

Su Ping noticed the fleeting confusion and doubt in her eyes. He seemed to have crushed her confidence.

He could not let her go to the competition like this. She would be even more scared. “I will take you to a place,” Su Ping said after some thought. He was going to take her to a cultivation site!

Death could be reversed in a cultivation site. There, he could let her see the full power of the Moonfrost Dragon!

That was the first time he was going to take a human being to a cultivation site.

“Where?” Su Lingyue asked.

Su Ping said nothing. He turned around and left the room so he could pull up the list of cultivation sites.

No one could see the list, including Joanna, unless she had his authorization.

Soon, Su Ping found one. The place was similar to the Blue Planet but it was deserted.

“Close your eyes,” Su Ping said.

“What?”

Su Lingyue’s confusion deepened.

She could tell that Su Ping was serious. After a second of hesitation, she closed her eyes. But her jittering eyelashes indicated that she was still nervous.

When she closed her eyes and remained quiet,

seem to be a pretty girl.

Only till then did Su Ping realize that he had a beautiful baby sister.

He looked away from her blushed cheeks and opened up the portal to the cultivation site. A dark swirl emitting an unfathomable aura appeared.

Joanna picked up the feeling of a strange world. She came out from the nursing pen and eyed Su Ping with questions but did not ask them outright.

Su Ping was not going to take her. He took out a temporary contract.

He had to sign a contract with anyone or anything he planned to take into the cultivation site, except for Joanna who was an employee.

Su Ping had never done this with a human before but his experience told him that humans could sign contracts to be regarded as pets as well!

After all, Joanna the goddess could enter into a contract.

Then, why not humans?

However, since he had never done this before, Su Ping was under stress, not to mention that his first experiment was with his younger sister.

He took a deep breath and poured out astral power into the contract.

The golden pages of the contract turned into a stream of pure energy, flying towards Su Ping and Su Lingyue’s eyebrows respectively, and submerged into them. At the same time, a mysterious connection appeared between the two, invisible and intangible, but it seemed to be an invisible thread that was able to connect their fates.

Su Ping felt another consciousness appear in his mind.

That consciousness was feeble but full of complicated emotions.

Su Ping seemed to see that in the darkness of the ocean of his consciousness, her consciousness curled up in a ball, and that was a little girl hugging her knees.

Was that her?

From this consciousness, Su Ping felt weakness, tenacity, stubbornness, loneliness, sadness, and other feelings.

At this moment, he was closer to her than ever and wanted to get to know her more.

This was a bond between their hearts, just like what he would feel from his pets.

At the same time, Su Lingyue opened her eyes all of a sudden in a fluster. She could sense a sudden and surprising presence in her closed off heart. That was Su Ping.

She had to admit that she no longer loathed this guy so much recently, but since when could he reach her heart?

No way!

In fear, she stepped back.

Su Ping looked at her, only this time, not so coldly. He asked her gently, “Close your eyes. I will take you somewhere.” Out of instinct, Su Lingyue closed her eyes.

Somehow, she was unwilling to fight against him. At this moment, whatever he asked, she would do it.

Why would I… follow his orders?

Su Lingyue’s heart pounded.

Su Ping took her hand and took her into the cultivation site.

The spinning made her feel like her mind and her body had been separated but that feeling lasted only a few seconds.

“You can open your eyes now,” Su Ping said.

Su Lingyue opened her eyes. Leaping into her sight was a vast, desolate world. She was awed. “Where is this?”

She was just at the store and she didn’t think she had moved an inch. How could she open her eyes and see a completely strange world?

“You can regard this as an advanced piece of tech, like a hologram,” Su Ping fooled her. With the help of the contract, his words sounded convincing to her.

Su Lingyue had a sense that something was off but she bought his explanation.

She would trust him no matter what he said.

“Summon your Moonfrost Dragon,” Su Ping told her. He summoned his Purple Python and the Dark Dragon Hound to be the Moonfrost Dragon’s training partners.

After he spoke, she called out her Moonfrost Dragon.

The three pets stood together in line. Su Ping told them to step away for a hundred meters and fight each other.

“Come here and take a look.” Su Ping took her hands and flew up. They had a better view from the sky.

Su Lingyue didn’t fight back. She and Su Ping had some physical contact before but that had never made her feel anything. However, she felt safe at this moment, as if she liked to be close to her brother.

When Su Ping took her hands, he, too, had unfamiliar feelings.

The power of the contract was potent. He realized he couldn’t maintain his usual calmness.

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world? There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh? I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day. Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that. I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets… It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…
