Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 397: I Don’t Mind Being the Minor One

Xiao Zhan knew that she was reminding him, but what surprised him even more was that Liu Xin could actually see through his Talent Skill.

And she didn’t reveal this at the beginning, she kept it hidden all along. Not only from him but from everyone.

Even when Qin Wanfeng first introduced Liu Xin, he only mentioned that her Talent Skill was to see through the target’s weaknesses.

Xiao Zhan lamented in his heart, this woman really has deep schemes.

Yet he also wondered, why did she hide this?

However, this question now clearly wasn’t too important, Xiao Zhan was also not very interested in it.

Ye Youlong was the first to break the silence, looking at Liu Xin with cold and harsh eyes, "He will not form a Contract with you!"

Liu Xin didn’t say anything.

Of course, she knew Xiao Zhan wouldn’t make a Contract with her, otherwise she wouldn’t have needed to use this tactic, and in those hints she gave to Xiao Zhan, she didn’t believe Xiao Zhan couldn’t understand them.

And since Xiao Zhan understood but didn’t actively seek her out,

This indicated that he was either unwilling or would not form a Contract with her.

"Stealing my man, there’s only one path—death!"

Seeing that Liu Xin had nothing good to say, Ye Youlong was ready to finish her off right there.

But at that moment, Liu Xin played her trump card, "You can’t kill me, if you kill me, you’ll die too!"

"In this world, everyone will die!"

Ye Youlong was too lazy to waste words with her anymore and was about to slap her dead using Spirit Manipulation Energy.

But Liu Xin, unafraid, faced life and death.

"Then go ahead and kill me!"

Although she said this, her eyes were locked on Xiao Zhan,

And a cold smile played at the corner of her lips.

Ye Youlong, completely disregarding her threat, went forward to kill, the powerful strike of her palm causing pain to Liu Xin’s face, about to strike her forehead. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Just then, a hand tightly grabbed Ye Youlong’s hand.

"She can’t die now," Xiao Zhan said, stopping Ye Youlong gently.

His voice was soft, but the tone was as firm as Mount Tai.

Hearing this, Ye Youlong’s anger surged instantly.

She could be stopped by anyone, but absolutely not by Xiao Zhan!

This action of Xiao Zhan was undoubtedly a betrayal of another kind to her.

But seeing Xiao Zhan’s unusually resolute eyes, rationality still managed to take a little upper hand, suppressing the erupting fury.

Because whenever Ye Youlong saw this look in Xiao Zhan’s eyes, she knew it was a resolution Xiao Zhan had made, that no one could pull him back from.

So, she wanted to know why Xiao Zhan would do this.

"Killing her here, no one will know. Even Qin Wanfeng won’t find out, I can make up any excuse," Ye Youlong said.

She thought Xiao Zhan was worried about revealing that they were the ones who killed Liu Xin.

But in this place, where there is no one around, and with dark windy conditions, it was a perfect opportunity and place to kill someone and bury the body.

As for Qin Wanfeng, they could just say they couldn’t save the person, Qin Wanfeng certainly wouldn’t suspect them.

At most, he would just feel regret.

But Xiao Zhan just shook his head, "It’s not really about that, it’s for another reason."

Xiao Zhan knew what Liu Xin meant when she said that; she was telling him she had a way to handle the side effects of the Death Aura.

She was lying to herself all of last night.

Indeed, if Liu Xin had no solution for the Death Aura, why would she want to sign the Life and Death Contract with him?

He only had two or three years left to live; would Liu Xin simply mooch off him for those years and then accompany him in death?

That would be ridiculously foolish of her.

Thus, to resolve the side effects of the Death Aura, Liu Xin cannot die now.

But Ye Youlong did not know this, she asked more coldly, "Then what is the reason?"

"Just..." Xiao Zhan’s words were on the brink of escape, but he forcefully stopped them.

Because he felt it might be better not to tell Ye Youlong. If she knew he wouldn’t live long because of her, she would definitely be consumed by guilt every day.

Xiao Zhan didn’t want to see Ye Youlong wracked with guilt daily.

"I’ll tell you the specific reason later, but for now, she really can’t die," Xiao Zhan could only say this much.

After speaking, he grabbed Ye Youlong’s hand, intending to lead her away from there.

However, Ye Youlong slapped his hand away and stood facing him with a frosty expression, her tone icy, "Speak now."

Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong who was on the verge of exploding; he didn’t like this tension, but he also really didn’t want her to drown in guilt daily.

He knew Ye Youlong too well; if she thought she was the reason for his impending death, she would definitely spiral into madness.

She would blame herself every day, torment herself relentlessly, living in unbearable misery.

Even though, she would end up dying alongside him.

"Can you not be like this, please? When the time comes, I’ll tell you. Rest assured, it’s definitely not because I want something from her that I’m not telling you. I would never betray you."

Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong with a pleading expression.

Ye Youlong had never seen such a look from Xiao Zhan before; she kept her gaze fixed on his eyes.

Xiao Zhan also returned her gaze, maintaining the same expression; the two looked at each other for a long time.

As they did, Ye Youlong’s heart gradually calmed down under the circumstances.

Then, she made her decision, turned around without a word, and walked away.

Xiao Zhan watched her go without further insistence, relieved, but at the same time, her retreating figure seemed so dejected.

Xiao Zhan knew this issue had created a rift in Ye Youlong’s heart.

He sighed helplessly.

For now, let it be. After obtaining the Ten Thousand Demon Flower, he would coax her.

"Are you sure you have a way?" Xiao Zhan shifted his focus back to Liu Xin.

She had said last night there was no way, and now suddenly there was; honestly, Xiao Zhan was somewhat skeptical.

It wasn’t just the stark disparity; it could also be a desperate lie from Liu Xin just to save herself.

"There definitely is a way, but I can’t tell you now," Liu Xin stated.

Xiao Zhan nodded.

He knew she couldn’t possibly reveal it now; once she told him, she’d lose her leverage.

He took out some food from the Dimension Space and threw it to her; she hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday.

Liu Xin caught the food and began to eat. Though famished, she still maintained her elegance.

While eating, she looked at Xiao Zhan and raised another question, "Your Talent Skill is something I’ve never seen before. The benefits brought by multiple Artifact Spirits are something you should be well aware of by now. Ye Youlong is a powerful offensive technique, I can help you see all the weaknesses in your target, which would greatly enhance your actual combat capability. Are you sure you won’t consider signing a Contract with me?"

"...I don’t mind being secondary."
