Narrowing her eyes into a slit, a flash of cold light glimmers in those irises: “Xiachen, I’ll leave this sword here with you. If you see this guy showing any signs of resistance, kill him right away!”


  The monster recognized Dragony’s identity but didn’t with her boy, that’s why she left this command just in case as a bluff and not a real threat.

  “Okay,” the little steambun nodded immediately in understanding. “Don’t worry Mother, if he dares to so much as flinch, I will kill him immediately!”


  Pleased by her boy’s reassurance, Bai Yan didn’t need to wait and closed her eyes in order to spread out the feelers for the ritual.

  The snake went white from this. She wanted to stop this from happening, however, the second she inched forward was when her eyes caught a glimmer of that sword. As a result of this hesitation, she retreated and left the two to finish their ritual.

  “The contract has been reached, now I will fulfill my promise to release you.” With a stretch of her hand, the giant sword instantly flies into her grasp and allowed her to slice down, slashing the chains and destroying part of the metallic spears pinning the old monster in place.

  Dragon Flame definitely showed an elated face after being freed, but that excitement promptly turned to dismay in the next second until it devolved into full blown anger. He rushed Bai Yan like he’s seen a lifetime menace from out of the blue.

  “It’s you! It’s you, you’re the one who locked me here in this godforsaken place! I’m going to kill you!”


  But before his body could even draw close to Bai Yan, an invisible force had repelled his charge and sent him rolling back multiple meters away. This was the constraint of being bound by a familiar contract. Due to this reasoning, Dragon Flame wouldn’t be able to hurt his own mistress.

  Snickering at the damnable goat monster, “It looks like my premonition is correct, you indeed want to hurt me. Fortunately I’ve contracted you, now you can’t do anything against me anymore.”


  Spewing fire from his eyes, the dragon god snaps back: “How dare you say such despicable words to me! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state to begin with! If I had known from the beginning, I would rather be chained for the chest of my life than to do this deal!”


  Bai Yan actually got surprised by the outcry of her familiar: “You know me?”


  “Don’t pretend like you don’t know anything. You may have changed your shell but I will recognize you even if I turn to ash! Now through this contract I am certain it is you!”


  She’s absolutely dumbfounded by this twist of event.

  Dragon Flame then pointed to the remaining parts of those spears still inserted in his body: “You also used these things to seal my strength! Don’t think for a minute you can deny you’re her!”


  “This…” Scratching her nose, Bai Yan cracks an awkward laugh to defuse the situation: “I really don’t know anything regarding the stuff you mentioned, I only came to the Celestial Realm recently. Before that I was always in the human world and Demon Realm.”


  Now it was the dragon god to become confused by what he’s heard. “Human world? Demon Realm? What the heck are you going on about? You think I will believe the nonsense you are saying?”


  Shrugging at being called a liar: “Believe it or not, I’ve never seen you before. As for why I’m here, I fell into this place by accident and didn’t know a way out.”
