Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 402: Lily?

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Lily?

"Really, there’s no need to be so polite. We’re not here on business; we just came to make sure Liu Xin got here safely. We’ll head back soon," Xiao Zhan said.

He just wanted Liu Xin to quickly tell him the solution.

After all, if the solution was too difficult, it might take him two or three years to handle it.

However, Su Mulan was very enthusiastic and inexplicably insistent, insisting that Xiao Zhan and his companion stay for a meal.

Liu Xin also added, "You two shouldn’t decline anymore. Even if you return to Northern City now, it’s already late. It’s better to stay. I’d also like to properly thank you both for your kindness."

"Plus, it’s your first time in Dragon Capital. As your hosts, we should at least show you some hospitality."

Hearing this and seeing Liu Xin’s expression, Xiao Zhan knew that Liu Xin wasn’t planning to tell him the solution just yet.

Humph, is she trying to stall for time, intentionally annoy me, or is she planning to use this as leverage to make me enter a contract with her?

Xiao Zhan sneered inwardly, curious to see what kind of game she wanted to play.

So, he agreed, "Alright, since both guild presidents have personally invited me, it would be quite rude of me to refuse."

"That settles it then. I’ll arrange everything for tonight and ensure both of you are satisfied," Su Mulan said cheerily upon hearing Xiao Zhan’s agreement.

"You don’t have a place to stay yet, right? There’s room available at the Mulan Guild, and I’ll take you there now to get you settled."

Saying this, Su Mulan personally led the way.

Xiao Zhan didn’t understand why she was so enthusiastic. As an SSS-level Artifact Spirit and a guild president, she normally wouldn’t need to bother so much; any subordinate could handle it.

Yet, her enthusiasm was excessive.

Where there is much kindness, there is some motive—either deceit or theft.

Su Mulan definitely had some designs on them.

Seeing Su Mulan’s enthusiastic gaze always lingering on Ye Youlong, Xiao Zhan speculated that Su Mulan was probably interested in some aspect of Ye Youlong.

Lesbians?

This... I can’t accept.

After they entered the arranged room and Su Mulan made some pleasantries, she left as she was quite busy with her duties as the president.

At mealtime, someone would come to notify them.

Only Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong were left in the room.

Ye Youlong had been in a bad mood since they left the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, remaining cold towards Xiao Zhan.

But since her expression was always like this, outsiders couldn’t tell.

However, Xiao Zhan, whose heart was connected to hers, could feel her coldness.

Xiao Zhan was thinking of how to say something to lighten the mood, but Ye Youlong spoke first, "Why didn’t we leave?"

Her voice was a bit ice-cold, showing anger and a touch of grievance.

It was evident that she had been holding back her emotions for a long time because she was saving his face outside.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan felt an inexplicable ache; she was a strong-willed woman, but she always restrained herself in front of him.

He walked up to Ye Youlong and gently took her into his arms, softly stroking her hair.

When it comes to a lover’s temper, nothing can’t be solved with a hug.

Indeed, after being embraced, the coldness in Ye Youlong evidently weakened considerably.

But she didn’t speak; she was waiting for Xiao Zhan to give her a reason.

Communication is the most important thing between two people.

A hug can only solve emotional issues; real problems need communication.

Xiao Zhan knew what she was waiting for, but he was also conflicted inside. Communication was necessary when facing problems.

But at the core, since Ye Youlong was the cause of this issue, letting her know would make her feel bad.

But if he didn’t tell her, the issue would remain a lump in Ye Youlong’s heart, undoubtedly creating a barrier between them.

This wasn’t a solution for the long term.

After some thought, he finally said, "After tonight, I’ll tell you the reason."

"Okay."

Ye Youlong was very obedient.

Since Xiao Zhan was willing to tell her, there wouldn’t be any lingering doubts in his mind.

Why it had to be after tonight didn’t matter much to Ye Youlong, as Xiao Zhan wasn’t going out to cheat tonight. As long as she knew that Xiao Zhan loved her, that was enough.

And this point had been confirmed in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Time quickly moved on to the evening.

It was supposed to be someone sent to notify them, but it was Su Mulan who came personally.

The four of them set off and got into a car.

The guards wanted to follow, but Su Mulan stopped them.

"Miss, the family head ordered that we protect you every step of the way."

In Dragon Capital, it was not absolutely safe; on the contrary, the more secure a place seemed, the more dangers lurked.

Su Mulan’s SSS-level Artifact Spirit status was also coveted by many.

But Su Mulan seemed to dislike this feeling of being protected and directly glared at the guard, "Why would I need protection going to Haolong Villa?"

"But..."

The guard still wanted to say something, but Liu Xin interrupted him at this point, "Enough, don’t force your miss to slap you in her happiest moment. Besides, with these two here, what protection do you need?"

"This..."

The guard glanced at Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong.

They were unclear about Xiao Zhan’s strength, but having heard he was capable of rescuing Liu Xin from the Southern Barbarian Land, that alone was beyond their capability.

Still hesitant, but the car had already left.

There was no choice; the guard could only sigh.

"Ah, true freedom. Being followed by these guards every day is really annoying," Su Mulan said spiritedly.

"No choice, who made you a rich and beautiful SSS-level Artifact Spirit? Wherever you go, you’re bound to catch people’s attention," Liu Xin replied.

"Yes, it’s really annoying," Su Mulan agreed, then looked at Ye Youlong with envy, "If only I were like you, an offensive Artifact Spirit."

Support and offensive Artifact Spirits can’t really be compared in terms of strength; they just serve different functions.

However, in this world’s environment, offensive Artifact Spirits are always mainstream.

Support Artifact Spirits, unless willingly, are always a secondary choice.

Ye Youlong glanced at her, her indifferent eyes filled with boredom. She didn’t speak because talking about such impractical things seemed utterly meaningless to her.

"That’s so cool."

Su Mulan’s eyes sparkled.

Ye Youlong’s indifference not only didn’t annoy her but seemed very cool and impressive to her.

Just like the information she had seen, cold, aloof, and domineering.

Absolutely stunning.

But, witnessing this scene, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Damn, could this woman actually be a lesbian?
