Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2960: Stop Being So Petty

Yu Liuli withdrew the hand lifting Ning Shu’s chin. “Why do I feel like you’re being so passive-aggressive?”

“Of course. If I weren’t passive-aggressive, that would be strange. I was inexplicably contracted, and now I have to protect you—a re ant. Do you expect to be overjoyed?” Ning Shu said bluntly.

Yu Liuli frowned. “Can you, as a grown man, stop being so petty?”

“Don’t use gender as an excuse. How about this: we re-contract. It’ll still be a master-servant contract, but this ti I’m the master, and you’re the servant. How does that sound?” Ning Shu leaned against a tree, looking breathtakingly elegant. “Of course, following would bring you plenty of benefits, loads of them.”

Yu Liuli imdiately fell silent.

See? Asking soone to be enslaved for a lifeti and expecting them to be grateful—wasn’t that a bit too much?

What, should she also act cute or sothing?

After all the hardships the original host endured to beco a divine beast, it wasn’t for this.

“One day, I’ll beco incomparably strong,” Yu Liuli said in a low, determined voice. “You won’t regret following .”

“And how would your strength benefit ? What does your strength have to do with ?” Ning Shu countered.

“I’m weak now, that’s why you’re unwilling to be my divine beast. One day, you’ll willingly submit to ,” Yu Liuli said firmly, her voice full of confidence.

Ning Shu remained expressionless. Yu Liuli would undoubtedly grow strong, but even when she did, Kong Lin would still want to escape from her.

Yu Liuli didn’t understand the essence of the issue.

The fundantal conflict lay in the master-servant contract—the fact that Yu Liuli could decide his fate at will. There wasn’t even basic equality.

After enduring countless hardships to beco a divine beast, escorting Yu Liuli to greatness, admired by all—what benefit was there for Kong Lin?

No matter how dazzling the protagonist’s aura was, it couldn’t outweigh the threat to his life and his desire for freedom.

If it had been an equal contract, where their lives were bound to each other and they advanced and retreated together, the entrustor wouldn’t feel so indignant, so desperate to break free.

Moreover, being contracted by a human wasn’t exactly an honor for a divine beast.

A spiritual beast’s body contained an inner core, and humans might even extract it for their own use.

Especially a divine beast’s core—certain elixirs even required it as an ingredient.

If Yu Liuli wanted his inner core, he wouldn’t be able to resist.

And divine beasts had long lifespans, which ant he would have to protect Yu Liuli for her entire life. As humans cultivated, their lifespans would extend as well.

In the end, the ti spent being enslaved would stretch on endlessly.

However, if the human didn’t live long and died—the contracted beast would perish along with them.

It was such a helpless and bleak future.

Yu Liuli walked ahead, and Ning Shu followed leisurely behind, keeping an eye on the rice-grain-sized object in her sea of consciousness.

This tiny thing couldn’t be underestimated. The mont Ning Shu’s spiritual power touched it, it imdiately pushed back.

And it ca with soul-tearing pain.

Yu Liuli naturally didn’t have such strong power. This was the power of the contract, the power of the ordinances.

This force compelled her to submit.

Rubbing her aching head, Ning Shu followed behind Yu Liuli.

Yu Liuli was soone blessed by heaven. No matter where she went, she encountered good things—natural resources and herbs that could be crafted into pills. R̃ãɴȯВƐṣ

“Look over there, that’s a jasper fruit!” Yu Liuli said, pointing to a cliff. The jasper fruit was tiny, and beside it was a nest.

Clearly, this was where the guardian beast of the jasper fruit resided.

The jasper fruit was guarded by a beast. With Yu Liuli’s current strength, she couldn’t defeat it.
