Chapter 2761 Xiaoman (Just a Bandit)
Her eyes were full of disbelief as she stared at Qi Yan.
At this moment, she finally realized that the man who was protecting Hu Xiaoman was powerful beyond her imagination. He could defeat her with his will alone without any spells or magic weapons.
"Aran!" Chu Qingye was shocked and walked quickly to Chu Ran and helped her up.
He was about to use his spiritual power to heal Chu Ran, but Chu Ran shook his head weakly: "Brother Qingye, don't waste your spiritual power, I'm fine."
Chu Ran took out an emerald green medicine bottle from his storage ring, poured out a pill emitting a strange glow, and swallowed it.
After a while, her pale face gradually regained some color, and she slowly stood up with the help of Chu Qingye.
Their eyes turned to Qi Yan and Hu Xiaoman again.
"May I ask who you are, Your Excellency?" Chu Ran endured the pain and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you know that Hu Xiaoman is the princess of the Hu Kingdom?"
"At this moment, everyone in You Country is searching for her."
"You Yunbai, the king of You State, has offered a reward of one thousand gold coins. Whoever can bring her back to You State will become a loyal minister of You State."
"Even though you have great power, if you become enemies with both Chu and You at the same time, you know the consequences."
Chu Qingye's eyebrows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, and he shouted in dissatisfaction: "Aran!"
Chu Ran, however, seemed like a madman, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
"Brother Qingye, Hu Xiaoman's great fortune is too dazzling, how could our Chu country let her go?"
"You also know that You Yunbai has been in love with her for a long time, which is why he offered such tempting conditions, attracting many people in the martial arts world to come to her."
"If we don't bring her back, how can we hold the transfer sacrifice ceremony?"
"The You Kingdom's army is cursed, and they are filled with ghostly cries and demonic energy. Our Chu Kingdom is completely powerless to resist."
"Brother Qingye, don't you also agree to hold the fortune-transfer sacrificial ceremony?"
"As long as Hu Xiaoman's great fortune is transferred to Chu Ruo, the Chu State will be able to compete with the Hu State."
"Brother Qingye, don't you know what is more important?"
"Are you really going to abandon the safety of the Chu State for the sake of a woman?"
Chu Ran wanted to continue speaking, but a voice as cold as ice interrupted her.
"You actually want to capture my Xiaoman to perform a ritual to change luck?"
"Humph! You really overestimate your own abilities."
"Xiao Man's great fortune is also very important to me."
Hu Xiaoman gently pulled Qi Yan's sleeve and said, "Qi Yan, stop talking nonsense with them and quickly erase the contract with the Ice Spring Beast."
"I can't wait for it to become my pet."
Xiao Huangjing, who was sitting on Hu Xiaoman's shoulder, looked at Hu Xiaoman's excitement, and a trace of loss flashed in his round eyes.
It’s over, it’s over. Why does it feel like it’s falling out of favor?
Qi Yan looked at Hu Xiaoman and nodded.
His slender index finger slowly reached towards the Ice Spring Beast's forehead again.
Seeing this, Chu Ran was extremely anxious. He rushed forward desperately and shouted loudly: "No!"
But he was stopped by Chu Qingye.
Chu Qingye whispered in her ear: "Aran, Bingquan Mountain will open again in a while. I will accompany you to catch another one."
Chu Ran's eyes were red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shook his head aggrievedly: "Brother Qingye, Hu Xiaoman is a robber!"
"I survived a lot of hardships to get this Ice Spring Beast. It cost me countless natural treasures."
"It has been with me for so long, how can I bear to let it be taken away?"
But she knew in her heart that even if she and Chu Qingye joined forces, they would never be a match for Qi Yan.
Just as Chu Ran was racking his brains, thinking about how to take back the Ice Spring Beast, Qi Yan's fingers had already touched the Ice Spring Beast's forehead, and a dazzling red flame instantly sank into the Ice Spring Beast's forehead.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts! You bad guys, let me go!"
The Ice Spring Beast screamed in pain and its body twisted violently.
Hu Xiaoman gently rubbed the Ice Spring Beast's head, his voice as warm as the sun: "Be good, bear with it, it won't hurt soon."
At this moment, she has already regarded the Ice Spring Beast as her own spiritual pet.
The Ice Spring Beast, unable to bear the pain, lost its mind, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Hu Xiaoman's arm.
"Snapped!"
Hu Xiaoman was quick-witted and slapped the Ice Spring Beast on the face.
This slap not only made the Ice Spring Beast sober up a little, but also temporarily relieved the severe pain caused by the broken contract.
Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "It seems that this slap worked. He is much more sober now."
"Little Ice Spring Beast, bear with it a little longer, it will be over soon."
"After you get rid of that vicious woman Chu Ran, you will follow me and enjoy the good life."
The Ice Spring Beast felt both pain and grievance, and looked at the angry Chu Ran with its big watery eyes.
But when it saw Chu Ran was unable to rescue it, it cried even harder.
Not long after, the Ice Spring Beast's crying gradually stopped, and its whole body began to tremble like a sieve. The rich spiritual energy on its body dissipated in all directions like a flood that broke through a dam.
Hu Xiaoman blinked his lively eyes and looked at Qi Yan in confusion.
Qi Yan raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a soothing smile: "It's okay, it's just having a bad temper."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ran suddenly let out a painful groan, covering his chest, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.
Obviously, Qi Yan's way of canceling the contract was too harsh, and Chu Ran also suffered serious backlash.
Hu Xiaoman quickly activated his spiritual power, drew a glowing contract spell, and pushed it gently.
The talisman sank into the forehead of the Ice Spring Beast like a nimble flying bird.
In an instant, a soul breath surged in Hu Xiaoman's dantian.
The Ice Spring Beast was bred from the essence of ice and contains endless spiritual energy in its body.
After signing a contract with it, Hu Xiaoman felt relaxed all over, without the struggle he had when he made the contract with the small yellow angel.
There was no pain of having the soul torn apart as when he made the contract with Qi Yan.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort.
After a moment, the Fanhua mark on her forehead flashed a dazzling golden light, announcing the success of the contract.
Hu Xiaoman slowly opened his eyes, a happy smile on his face.
She carefully took the Ice Spring Beast from Qi Yan, placed it in her palm, and said softly, "Come, call me Master."
Although the Ice Spring Beast was unwilling, its contract with Chu Ran had been erased and it was now closely connected with Hu Xiaoman's soul.
It could feel the even more powerful luck in Hu Xiaoman.
In addition, Chu Ran didn't pay much attention to it on weekdays. Apart from using it to fight and absorb spiritual energy, he never gave it warmth.
No one has ever spoken to it as gently as Hu Xiaoman did.
So, the Ice Spring Beast quickly accepted the reality.
It sat in Hu Xiaoman's palm, raised its head, and called out reluctantly, "Master!"
Hu Xiaoman happily stroked the Ice Spring Beast's head and turned to look at Chu Ran, who was shrouded in anger and helplessness.
The smile was extremely bright: "Chu Ran, thank you for your Ice Spring Beast."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of it. After all, it is my baby now."
Chu Ran's eyes were blazing with fire and he clenched his fists tightly.
