Chapter 166: Damn it, the cannon fodder has become the group's favorite (42)
After hearing what its master said, Weird Butterfly paused and replied obediently, "Because... because I have a contract with the master."
After she finished speaking, she was still afraid that her master would not believe her, so she anxiously wiped the tears from her face, and then mobilized her magic to show the mark of the strange butterfly flower on her forehead.
"Master, look at your left wrist. Is there a small mark exactly like the one on my forehead?"
Guidie looked at the person in front of her expectantly, hoping that he would quickly lift up his sleeves to take a look, so that she would know that she was not lying.
Shen Youan looked at the mark on her forehead and felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
He was confused and did as she said, lifted up his sleeve, and saw the mark she mentioned.
Now it was Shen Youan's turn to be confused for half a second. What was going on?
Suddenly, he finally remembered something and understood why it looked familiar.
Shen Youan asked uncertainly, "Are you the flower that pricked my hand?"
Weird Butterfly looked at its master, paused, and nodded awkwardly. Then, it stretched out its delicate white hand, grasped Shen Youan's index finger, and said,
"Don't worry, Master. It won't happen now."
Shen Youan was silent. It was she who brought him here. Looking at her who was well-behaved and extremely cautious, he sighed slightly, lowered his head to look at the hand that Guidie held, and slowly said:
"So you brought me here? What is this place?" Shen Youan's tone of inquiry sounded gentle and peaceful.
The anxious Weird Butterfly heaved a sigh of relief. Great! The Master didn't blame her!
"Yes, I brought the master here because I was trapped inside the screen and needed the master to call me to come out. The master and I have a bond, so I was able to bring the master into the illusion I created."
Guidie answered obediently that she wanted to stay with her master and she liked this gentle master.
Seeing that things had come to this, Shen Youan raised his hand and touched her head, asking, "How should I call you?"
Guidie held his fingers and passed the contract between the two to Shen Youan's mind. Only then did Shen Youan see that the contract they signed was a master-servant contract.
Weird Butterfly is the servant and he is the master.
Shen Youan nodded and said, "Okay, I will call you. Now let me out."
"Okay, master."
The little girl nodded, then hesitated again because she was unsure if her master was telling the truth, and whether he would really call her...
Shen Youan took in her uneasy look and said slowly, "I will call you. Trust me, okay?"
"it is good"
Weird Butterfly was deeply attracted by her master's sparkling and encouraging eyes. She nodded heavily and chose to believe. She then silently recited a spell and cast a spell to send Shen Youan away from this illusion.
Weird Butterfly watched her master slowly disappear and pursed her lips nervously. Her master... must call her, otherwise, she would be sad again and go crazy...
At this time, Shen Youan, who was lying on the bed, had a flushed face, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. He woke up instantly the next second. He raised his hand and took the handkerchief beside him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was still a little dazed.
For a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Did he really make a contract with Weird Butterfly? That pretty and lovely girl.
Shen Youan lifted up the sleeve of his left hand, and the beautiful and delicate strange butterfly flower mark came into his sight.
It turns out... it's true.
Shen Youan closed his eyes and chanted a spell silently until he felt someone tugging at his sleeve, then he slowly opened his eyes.
Guidie's pretty doll-like face appeared in Shen Youan's sight.
"Master!" Guidie shouted happily and excitedly.
The master did not lie to her, the master would really call her out, that’s great, Xiaodie loves the master the most!
"Yeah." Shen Youan touched her head, looked at her happy expression, and curled his lips helplessly.
"Master, it's still dark now. It'll be a while. Go to sleep."
Weird butterfly rubbed its master's hand and said obediently.
"Well, what about you?"
Shen Youan nodded and looked at the person in front of him, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Me? I'll turn into a small pot of flowers to accompany my master." Guidie thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea came to her. She could turn herself into a small pot of flowers, so that she wouldn't have to worry about exposing herself.
Guidie knew that someone had moved her screen away, and they must be trying to catch her.
So the next second, a small pot of beautiful yet strange butterfly flowers was placed on a stool in a small corner not far away.
The strange butterfly playfully moved its leaves and greeted its owner.
Shen Youan looked at her and smiled, then lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The strange butterfly looked at its owner and felt very happy. It liked its new owner very much.
Early the next morning.
Chu Hanche knocked on the door. Seeing no response, he hesitated for half a second, then opened the door and came in.
Guidie was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night. Suddenly, she heard the door open. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chu Hanche coming in. She knew that he was the person who stood next to her master yesterday.
Guidie became less vigilant and looked at the owner of the bed who showed no sign of waking up, so her eyes were fixed on Chu Hanche.
Chu Hanche noticed the strong gaze and turned his head to look, and saw the pot of flowers in the small corner at a glance.
He looked at it for a second, then looked away expressionlessly.
This made the nervous Guidie breathe a sigh of relief. She thought that this person had discovered her, but fortunately he didn't.
Because Chu Hanche's perception was too sensitive, Guidie didn't dare to look at him again, but at the same time she was a little worried about her master, which made her feel very conflicted.
At this moment, a complex emotion flashed in Chu Hanche's eyes, and then disappeared. He walked closer to the person's bed and saw the left hand exposed.
He looked carefully and found that a master-servant contract seal had appeared on his An An's hand. This seal...
Chu Hanche put his hand back into the thin quilt, thinking back to the pot of flowers he had just seen and the scene in front of the screen yesterday, he had a general idea.
Because Shen Youan was the master, he didn't have to worry about him getting hurt, so Chu Hanche ignored the pot of flowers in the corner.
Originally, Chu Hanche came here to see if the person was awake. If not, he would sit for a while. But now, he should go and check the origin of this flower.
Thinking of this, Chu Hanche got up and went out. After leaving the room, he walked towards the room where Wen Yunli lived.
Wen Yunli was drinking morning tea at this time. He found it quite novel that Chu Hanche came to him instead of looking for his brother early in the morning.
"Brother, how come you have time to come to my place?"
Wen Yunli spoke slowly with a smile, his smiling eyes filled with a slight dissatisfaction.
I made peace with my brother one second, and he was kidnapped the next. Anyone would be unhappy about this.
"He's not awake yet"
Chu Hanche replied indifferently. After all, if the person was awake, he would not come over. After that, he found a seat and sat down next to Wen Yunli.
Wen Yunli twitched the corners of his mouth, and his smile froze. He put away his smile and decided not to pay any attention to Chu Hanche.
"I remember you have a book about flower spirits. Lend it to me."
Chu Hanche asked calmly.
"What do you want this for?" Wen Yunli raised his eyebrows, took out the book from the magic ring and handed it to Chu Hanche.
Chu Hanche took the book and replied, "Didn't An An stab her hand yesterday?"
"Hmm?" There was a hint of confusion in Wen Yunli's eyes. What does this have to do with it?
"He made a contract with the flowers on the screen yesterday."
Chu Hanche answered while flipping through the books.
"Contract?" Wen Yunli's eyes flashed. Flower spirits can be both good and bad... Thinking of this, Wen Yunli quickly asked, "What kind of contract is it?"
"Master and servant, An An is the master"
Wen Yunli felt relieved after hearing this, but he was still afraid that the flower spirit in the contract might be a bad person. Such words could easily affect the master's mind. After all, they were connected.
Chu Hanche thought so too. He didn't know what kind of flower spirit it was, and suddenly remembered that Wen Yunli had related books, so he came over.
After looking through the book for a while, Chu Hanche finally stopped flipping through the pages. Wen Yunli also came over at this time, staring at the patterns in the book and explaining them, and said slowly:
"Strange Butterfly Flower?"
Wen Yunli frowned. This name didn't sound good.
The Strange Butterfly Flower is good at confusing people's minds. It has unclear perception of good and bad behavior. It becomes extremely bloodthirsty when out of control. Except for not attacking its owner, it kills everything around it like it has almost lost its mind.
…………
In short, this flower is dangerous, but it is the favorite flower spirit of the demons. It is bloodthirsty and becomes stronger with the power of its master. Whether it is poison gas or vines, it is terrifying.
"How could a flower like this choose An An as its owner?"
Wen Yunli was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, his brother was a righteous person, and such a bloodthirsty flower spirit would never be willing to make a contract with him.
Because her righteous master would not give her blood, nor allow her to kill at will, could it be a genetic mutation or a bad brain?
Fluttershy: …………
"I don't know"
Chu Hanche frowned, but there was no need to worry too much. If this flower had a bad influence on An An, he would definitely smash it to pieces with one sword.
"If you don't want to eat this, I'll take it away."
Chu Hanche handed the book back to Wen Yunli, took a sip, and Wen Yunli poured him some tea. He brought a plate of soft and glutinous pastries and then stood up and left.
Wen Yunli watched him take his pastries with confidence, knowing that he would not eat them, and thought he was trying to show his courtesy.
Wen Yunli stared at his back and was silent for a few seconds. It was okay. He really didn't want to eat it, so he could only sigh and comfort himself... It's better not to let outsiders take away the good things.
At this time, Shen Youan was in his room.
"Master, wake up, Master, I want to tell you something."
After the man left, Guidie was in a daze for a long time before noticing that Shen Youan had woken up and was washing up, so she spoke.
"Hmm?" Shen Youan wiped the water off his face, responded lightly, and walked over.
He squatted beside the strange butterfly and looked at her. He reached out and poked the little flower she had put away its thorns and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just now, the master's friend came into the room. He looked very fierce. He even secretly held the master's hand..."
Guidie said aggrievedly, this was what she saw out of the corner of her eye, she didn't dare look directly at him, the feeling that man gave her was too dangerous...
"Friends? Holding hands?" Shen Youan curled his lips, guessing it was Ache.
"Yeah, he's super..." Fierce. Before he could finish his words, Chu Hanche opened the door and came in. Guidie swallowed the last word.
"Super what?" Thinking back to the little girl's appearance and listening to her fussy tone, he found it a little funny.
"Master...he's coming," Guidie reminded in a low voice.
Shen Youan stood up, turned around and saw Ache. He walked over obediently and threw himself into Chu Hanche's arms.
"Ache, I heard you were here just now"
Weird Butterfly's first reaction: "Ah? Is the master in danger?"
Weird Butterfly's second reaction: No... Master, don't tell anyone about the nest. I'm scared...
Chu Hanche held the man's waist with one hand, slowly led him to the table, casually placed the cakes on the table, and responded gently: "Hmm"
Chu Hanche's gaze fell on the pot of flowers. Guidie shrank her head. She had always known that she was of bad character.
"Sit down, I brought this for you."
Chu Hanche pressed his shoulder and sat down, moving the pastry in front of him and spoke softly.
"Where did it come from?"
Shen Youan's eyes lit up, obviously he liked it.
"I took it from your second brother."
Chu Hanche answered truthfully that he had checked the pastry and there was nothing wrong with it.
Shen Youan nodded and took a piece. It was soft, sweet and melted in the mouth. It was quite good. The craftsmanship of this mansion was good.
Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Chu Hanche also sat down and looked at the pot of flowers in the corner, his eyes becoming a little duller.
Shen Youan followed his gaze and saw the trembling little flower. He coughed lightly and said, "This is the strange butterfly flower I accidentally contracted yesterday."
"Well, since she has a contract with you, her cultivation will probably grow very slowly, so after she realizes it, she might want to leave." Chu Hanche said lightly.
"Well, no problem. If you take her away from here and she regrets it, then we can cancel the contract."
Shen Youan knew that she was willing to make a contract with him, perhaps because she was running away from someone, or because she was trapped and couldn't get out.
He didn't care. Looking at the well-behaved and pitiful appearance of the little girl, he felt a little soft-hearted. After all, his soul was different from that of ordinary people. Even if she wanted to confuse and harm him, it would be impossible.
"Master...I won't."
A voice of grievance suddenly sounded behind Shen Youan. Shen Youan turned around and saw the aggrieved little girl, with her hands clasped in front of her body, looking at a loss.
Tears were about to well up in her eyes again.
Shen Youan took a piece of cake, handed it to her, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't cry."
"I don't want to terminate the contract with my master... I want to follow my master forever." Guidie didn't reach out to take the cake, for fear that her master would not want her in the next second.
"I don't want you"
For Shen Youan, in this world, he would not contract any creature, and Xiaodie was also an accident, but perhaps because of the contractual relationship, he was not very averse to Xiaodie.
But he will not stay here forever. He will leave sooner or later. If he dies, he, as his contracted flower spirit, will definitely not survive.
"Master, keep your word."
After hearing his words, Guidie stopped crying and said in a soft voice.
"Hmm." Shen Youan handed the cake to her again.
Only then did she obediently accept it, took a bite with a happy smile and said, "Thank you, Master."
