Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 661 Yueyuan's Life in Danger

"I never imagined Ling'er was a princess," Yuan Lao Er exclaimed.

"Yes, when I first met Ling'er, she said that her parents were dead and that her relatives were abusing her. I never expected that she was a princess who had destroyed a country."

Grandma Liu nodded.

I am truly happy for Ling'er now that she has found a home.

However, the road to revival is fraught with difficulties, and Old Lady Liu cannot help but feel worried.

A soft hand grasped Grandma Liu's fingers. Grandma Liu looked down and saw a round, soft, rosy face smiling at her, a gentle voice comforting her.

"Grandma, don't worry about Sister Ling'er. Sister Ling'er will definitely be able to do it."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Grandma believes what Yao Yao said."

Yao Yao nodded cutely.

The fact that the people around Sister Ling'er dared to kill orcs means they are not ordinary people.

At least in terms of safety, Yao Yao is very reassured.

Guoan leaned closer and asked in a cheeky tone, "Yaoyao, did you give Sister Ling'er some kind of magic weapon?"

"how do you know?"

Yao Yao's eyes widened.

Guoan gave him an expression that said, "Hey, how could I not know? You and I know each other best. Although you've already said you gave the explosive and attack talismans to Sister Ling'er, the ruins have just recovered. The other three kingdoms will definitely notice something's wrong with the ruins soon. When they find out the ruins have recovered, they'll have to take action."

"Let me guess what you gave Sister Ling'er."

Guoan squinted, one hand touching his chin.

Yao Yao looked at Guo An with surprise, not expecting that this simple-minded brother had become smart.

"Did you make a magical artifact for Sister Ling'er, like a spatial ring like mine, or a magical artifact that can be freely transformed like Uncle's?"

Yao Yao shook her head, indicating that neither of them were true.

Guoan looked at Yaoyao suspiciously, "Neither? That can't be."

"Look behind you and see who's missing."

Yao Yao tilted her head and said.

After hearing this, Guoan turned around. They were now at the very back. Behind them were Xiao Hei, Xiao Qing, Xiao Bai, and Da Bai. Xiao Qing had a golden tree on her head as an ornament, which was Xiao Jin.

As they watched, Guoan's eyes widened.

"Huggy Monkey is missing!"

Yao Yao nodded, "Mhm."

"You mean you let Hug Monkey go with Ling'er? Hug Monkey is the one who's most attached to you and likes to stay by your side the most, how could Hug Monkey agree to go to such a far place?" Guo An was very surprised.

"I made a contract with Hug Monkey, so it can call me in its mind whenever it misses me."

"No wonder Huggy Monkey agreed."

Guoan suddenly realized.

....................

royal palace.

The Imperial Academy.

Yueyuan lay on the ground, pale-faced, clutching his chest in pain.

"Moon Abyss, let me out! You'll die if you don't let me out!" the Iron-Eating Beast pleaded.

"Don't even think about it! I'll let you out to wreak havoc on the world!" Yue Yuan refused through gritted teeth.

"I've saved you so many times, don't you trust me? I won't hurt you." The Iron-Eating Beast's voice was filled with grievance.

"Have you forgotten the villages you slaughtered? Do you think I would believe you? We were just cooperating." Yueyuan frowned.

These words made the Iron-Eating Beast feel even more aggrieved. It was indeed a ferocious beast, but it was not the one that slaughtered the village.

Little did he know that he had only come down the mountain to find food, and not only was he made a scapegoat, but he was also sealed inside a human body.

It was just that its body had been seriously injured many years ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been captured and sealed by human cultivators.

Seeing that Yueyuan was truly unconvincing, the Iron-Eating Beast snorted coldly and decided to ignore him.

"Hmph, I can get out of here once you're dead anyway."

The only sound in the huge room was Yueyuan's painful groans.

In a daze, I seemed to see Yao Yao.

Then he completely lost consciousness.

An hour later.

When Yueyuan woke up from his coma, he looked around and realized he was lying in bed. Suddenly, a round face leaned over and gave him a sweet smile when it saw he was awake.

"Uncle Yue, you're awake?"

"Yaoyao, why are you here?"

Yao Yao tilted her head and said honestly, "If you don't come, you'll die."

Yueyuan frowned, suddenly realizing that the Iron-Eating Beast sealed within his body was gone.

"Where is the iron-eating beast inside me?"

"Thank you for thinking of me the first thing you did when you woke up." A voice suddenly rang out, filled with a profound sense of speechlessness.

Following the sound, Yueyuan saw a man in red sitting at the tea table, drinking tea, his eyes glancing sideways at him.

Her hair was disheveled, and she exuded a lazy air.

Yueyuan recognized it as an iron-eating beast at a glance.

Her eyes widened in shock as she asked, "Why did you come out?"

The man in red glanced at him casually, a stark contrast to his attitude when he was still inside Yueyuan's body.

"Ask Yao Yao."

Upon hearing this, Yueyuan looked at Yaoyao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Yaoyao, what happened?"

Without my own method to unravel it, how could the Iron-Eating Beast possibly emerge?

Yao Yao blinked her eyes. "Uncle Yue, you're about to die, so I let you form a spirit contract. This seal can no longer hold the ferocious beast. It can go back whenever it wants, and it can come out whenever it wants."

Yueyuan stared wide-eyed in surprise, "A spirit contract?"

"That's right, a spiritual contract, so Uncle Yue won't have to die."

Yao Yao's voice was so innocent and childlike that Yue Yuan felt like he was hallucinating.

Spiritual Contract..............

So simple?

Why did he keep sealing the Iron-Eating Beast with his own blood essence?

"This tea is really delicious," the man in red remarked softly.

Yao Yao yawned. "Uncle Yue, now that you're alright, I'll go back to sleep."

So much happened today, Yao Yao is so sleepy.

After saying that, he got out of bed and left the room.

The huge room was now empty except for the man in red and Yueyuan lying on the bed.

It was quiet; no one spoke.

"Thank you."

After a long while, Yueyuan sincerely said thank you.

He knew that a spiritual contract required the other party's consent for the contract to be successful.

The man in red didn't speak, and drank cup after cup of tea.

.................

After the major events of that day, the capital city was no longer as bustling as it used to be.

No one has recovered from the disaster that day.

They never imagined that their long-held faith would become their death warrant.

What surprised them even more was that Princess Anguo would absorb their luck for her own sake.

These bleak days continued until nearly half of the officials in the court had their entire families confiscated and their families exiled.

Several rows of prisoners knelt at Caishikou.

The capital city has returned to its former bustling state.
