A pair of mandarin ducks sleep together under the covers, a pear tree pressing down on a begonia.
Seeing Yaya already deeply asleep with a happy expression, Zhou Fan walked out of the room feeling refreshed.
Sensing that Mengli was still standing at the door, Zhou Fan asked, puzzled.
“Mengli, was there something you needed when you called me just now?”
When Zhou Fan was busy with Yaya doing important things, he heard Mengli's call, but he didn't pay attention.
After all, he and Yaya were discussing a matter worth hundreds of millions, or even over a billion, so how could they be casually interrupted?
So, after learning from Mengli that the matter was not urgent, Zhou Fan spent most of the day diligently working in Yaya's room before coming out.
And Mengli, seeing her diligent master finally emerge, made up her mind to confess.
“Master, my sister… she’s back.”
“Your sister contacted you?”
“Yes, Master. My sister, I don’t know what fortunate encounter she had, but her Cultivation has already broken through to the Middle Stage Peak of the Qi Ling Realm.”
“She asked me to relay a message to you, saying there will be a battle one month from now, at Hai Shi, on the Clear Moon Cliff outside Linfeng City.”
“If she wins, she demands that you, Master, break the master-servant contract with me, and she will spare your life. But this is only for this one time; if she encounters you again in the future, she will kill you without mercy.”
“And if she loses?” Zhou Fan asked with an amused smile.
“My sister said that if she loses, then you can do with her as you please.”
“Alright, I understand.” Zhou Fan said, then planned to go back inside and have a good sleep with Yaya.
Seeing Zhou Fan's indifferent demeanor, Mengli quickly said.
“Master! You still shouldn’t go in a month. My sister never does anything she isn’t confident about.”
“Since she dared to propose this challenge to you, it means she must be prepared. Her current Cultivation is at the Middle Stage Peak of the Qi Ling Realm, and I suspect she is confident of breaking through to the Late Stage of the Qi Ling Realm within a month.”
“Late Stage of the Qi Ling Realm is Late Stage, so what? Isn’t that just equivalent to a Human Race?” Zhou Fan said with an unconcerned expression.
“Master, I know you are strong, but my sister is also very strong.”
“Our Desire Demon clan not only possesses powerful Mental Energy that allows us to fight above our Realm, but our Physical Body can also be considered unrivaled among those of the same Realm.”
“I get it, a tank, huh.” Zhou Fan yawned and said.
Seeing Zhou Fan still looking casual, Mengli was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
“Oh, you silly Master, have you forgotten that even when you were Innate, it took you so long to defeat me, who was only at the Early Stage Peak of the Spirit Initiation Realm?”
“Within the same Realm, you really can’t beat my sister. You still shouldn’t go in a month.”
“Anyway, I told my sister not to actively attack you. If she secretly attacks you behind my back, I won’t acknowledge her as my sister.”
Seeing Mengli’s serious expression, Zhou Fan couldn’t help but ask with some confusion.
“Mengli, the contract between us is a master-servant contract, isn’t it?”
“It is.”
“You were probably forced by me to sign this contract, right?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Fan looked at Mengli’s pure four eyes and immediately felt a bit speechless. He simply said directly.
“Then shouldn’t you be firmly on your sister’s side? Why are you thinking for me?”
Mengli first glanced at Zhou Fan, then lowered her head shyly and said.
“I feel… following you, Master, feels quite good…”
Zhou Fan looked at the shy and foolish creature, feeling his CPU was again a bit insufficient.
“No, Mengli, why… why is this?”
Zhou Fan even suspected he had misheard.
“Silly Master, don’t you know how excellent you are? When we first met, you had probably just broken through to Innate not long ago. How much time has passed since then, and you’ve already broken through to Human Race.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan remained silent. He calculated and realized it had only taken him a little over a month to break through all the way from Martial Dao Grandmaster to Human Race.
So, I’m that promising?
The blocked System: ……
“Moreover, Master, you are handsome, and most importantly, you are extremely good to both me and your women. So I think, signing a master-servant contract with you isn’t bad at all.”
Zhou Fan saw the foolish creature looking like she was experiencing her first crush and somewhat suspected if she had been listening to too many gossip stories these past few days.
However, upholding the spirit of academic inquiry, Zhou Fan still asked, puzzled.
“Mengli, do your Desire Demon clan also have an aesthetic sense for humans? Also, at what Realm can your Yao Race transform?”
“Master, you’re annoying~” Seeing Mengli’s delicate hooves kicking towards him, Zhou Fan quickly stopped her.
“Ahem, just talk, don’t use your hands and feet before transforming.”
Mengli, seeing Zhou Fan completely unmoved by her “beauty,” snorted lightly and said.
“The Realm divisions of our Yao Race are: Qi Ling Realm, Xiao Yao Realm, Yao Dan Realm, Transformation Realm, Great Yao Realm…”
“Among them, the Transformation Realm corresponds to your Human Race’s Nascent Soul Stage.”
“Of course, if we take a Transformation Pill before the Transformation Realm, our Yao Race can also transform, but the human form transformed by the Transformation Pill is ultimately an illusion, with a time limit.”
“Whereas the Transformation of a Transformation Realm Yao Race is a fundamental metamorphosis, allowing our Yao Race to truly possess a human form without any time limit. Some Yao Race Cultivate to the Transformation Stage and then even live among the Human Race.”
After listening to Mengli's words, Zhou Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Why do your Yao Race want to transform into human form? Are there any benefits?”
“Naturally, there are benefits. Before the Transformation Realm, most of our Yao Race have powerful Physical Bodies but weak Primordial Spirits, while your Human Race Cultivators, although most of their Physical Bodies are not as strong as Yao Race of the same Realm, their Primordial Spirits are much stronger.”
“When our Yao Race possess a Human Race body in the Transformation Stage, the speed of Primordial Spirit Cultivation can be greatly improved.”
“Moreover, after the Yao Race possess a Human Race body, their Cultivation speed can also be greatly improved, after all, your Human Race body is known as the body most suited to the Dao.”
After chatting with Mengli for a while longer, Zhou Fan told Mengli to relax, then walked back into the room.
Hugging the soft and fragrant pillow, Zhou Fan quickly fell into a dream.
… …
The night passed without a word.
The next morning, after Zhou Fan prepared breakfast, he saw Yaya was also awake, and the two of them cozied up together to finish breakfast.
And Yaya, as expected of a Reincarnation Empress, was almost fully replenished just by sleeping and having breakfast.
Zhou Fan had no choice but to eat more when he saw how mischievous Yaya was.
This eating session lasted for a long time again.
It wasn’t until Yaya took her afternoon nap that Zhou Fan suddenly remembered he seemed to have forgotten something.
He quickly unblocked the System, and the pleasant System notification sound immediately rang in Zhou Fan’s large head.
