Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan had just stepped out of the academy when the Mo family's exclusive luxury car driver was already waiting outside for them.
After getting in the car.
The vehicle drove through the bustling and prosperous urban streets.
Xia Yuan lounged lazily against the car seat, propping his chin with one hand as he observed the scenery outside.
This was his first ti leaving the academy to see the world.
It seed the technological level of this world wasn't too different from his previous life.
Skyscrapers, bustling streets—everything you could want.
Maintaining this scale of urban developnt in such a dangerous and chaotic world was actually quite impressive.
Twenty minutes later.
The vehicle finally arrived at the massive estate where the Mo family resided.
The Mo family mbers had already gathered waiting at the main gate, their faces unable to conceal their excitent. Regardless of age or gender, everyone wanted to see what an SSR actually looked like.
The mont Xia Yuan stepped out of the car, he beca the center of attention.
Dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses, his 1.9-ter tall fra exuded an indescribable handsoness and coolness.
So of the younger Mo family mbers imdiately began screaming excitedly, completely captivated by Xia Yuan's looks.
Seeing this, Xia Yuan even waved and greeted them, "Hello!"
Mo Shiyu looked utterly exasperated. She had been the sa way before, but after spending so many days together, she had already beco disillusioned with Xia Yuan's charm.
The Mo family welcod Xia Yuan, this SSR, with imnse enthusiasm, attending to his every need—they practically treated him like an ancestor!
Xia Yuan's achievents within the academy had long been known to the Mo family mbers.
Solo clearing a two-star dungeon!
Instantly killing a B-rank level 70 Contracted Spirit!
This already demonstrated just how powerful he was—definitely a damage-dealing role among SSR Contracted Spirits!
Xia Yuan's arrival gave the Mo family the opportunity to compete for a position among Great Xia's top-tier families.
As long as they could fully develop him into a national-level strategic weapon, the Mo family could soar to unprecedented heights!
Mo family main hall.
Xia Yuan sat like a lord, legs crossed as he drank tea, enjoying the attentions of the Mo family juniors.
Mo Shiyu watched from the side, puffing her cheeks in frustration. Why didn't she get that kind of treatnt...
The current head of the Mo family was none other than Mo Shiyu's uncle, Mo Cheng!
He smiled warmly as he spoke:
"Senior Xia Yuan, from now on, the Mo family is your ho. Whatever requests you may have, our Mo family will certainly do our utmost to fulfill them!"
Xia Yuan didn't stand on ceremony at all, replying cheerfully:
"That sounds wonderful!"
"I'd like to try a full Manchu-Han imperial feast. Since I've just arrived in this world, I want to sample what this world's cuisine is like."
Mo Shiyu clenched her small fist, "Xia Yuan..."
Mo Cheng clapped his hands and imdiately had soone arrange it.
Not long after.
A long table filled with various delicacies was set before Xia Yuan—all kinds of rare and expensive foods, with beautiful maid sisters nearby helping him pick dishes and even feeding him directly.
The whole experience was pure indulgence.
After ensuring he was properly attended to, Mo Cheng finally turned his attention to Mo Shiyu, his tone becoming slightly stern:
"Shiyu, why didn't you notify us imdiately after contracting Senior Xia Yuan?"
Mo Shiyu turned her face away, "No particular reason, I just didn't want to."
Mo Cheng snorted coldly, questioning her sharply:
"This is a major matter! Do you know how many people out there are watching SSR Contracted Spirits?!"
"Earlier, the Jiang family also ca by, but fortunately we managed to send them away."
"With your current abilities, you simply can't protect him."
"If not for Senior Xia Yuan's sufficient strength, you would already be dead!"
Mo Shiyu couldn't help but sneer inwardly—the other party wasn't actually concerned about her, but rather afraid that the SSR might be taken by others!
Mo Cheng sighed and waved his hand:
"Enough, you've rendered great service to the Mo family this ti, so I won't dwell on these matters."
"Break your contract with Senior Xia Yuan."
"With your current spiritual energy, you simply cannot support Senior Xia Yuan using his full power."
"Senior Xia Yuan will be handed over to Mo Wushuang for cultivation."
A short-haired young man with sharp eyes, wearing black-rimd glasses and dressed in an exquisite school uniform, stepped forward. This was indeed Mo Wushuang.
His gaze burned intensely toward Xia Yuan's direction, "Cousin Shiyu, I will rember this favor for life. I will exchange my SR Contracted Spirit with you, and you certainly won't lack benefits in the future."
Mo Wushuang adjusted his glasses, speaking with great confidence:
"With Senior Xia Yuan's combat power, I will definitely be able to lead the Mo family to join the ranks of top-tier families!"
Mo Shiyu had long anticipated this. Her expression turned cold as she firmly refused:
"No!"
"My Contracted Spirit—I won't hand him over to anyone."
On the other side, hearing this conversation, Xia Yuan slowed his pace of enjoying the delicacies.
No wonder Mo Shiyu had been so uneasy—it turned out her family wanted her to abandon her contract with him.
Mo Cheng frowned slightly:
"Shiyu, this concerns the entire family's prosperity! I cannot allow you to be willful about this!"
"Wushuang is currently the most spiritually gifted genius in our Mo family, and he has been admitted to Aetherium Academy, one of Great Xia's three top Spirit Tar academies. Only by having him contract Senior Xia Yuan can we maximize the SSR's power!"
"You can't be this selfish—you need to consider the bigger picture!"
Mo Wushuang also chid in from the side:
"Senior Xia Yuan has been constantly limited by your spiritual energy, unable to display his full strength—is that what you want?"
Mo Shiyu showed no intention of backing down, her gaze firm as she declared, "So what if it's a top university? Give at most one year, and I can raise my spiritual energy enough to skip grades and directly test into one of the three top Spirit Tar academies!"
Mo Cheng slamd the table and stood up, "You!"
He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, "Shiyu, after your parents died at the hands of that world-class bounty boss, have I ever treated you unfairly? This matter is not up for discussion—you must break the contract!"
Mo Shiyu stated resolutely, "Fine, unless I'm dead!"
The atmosphere in the hall froze solid.
The other Mo family mbers didn't dare say anything.
Both Mo Shiyu and Mo Wushuang were geniuses in spiritual energy cultivation within the Mo family, and both held extrely high status.
However, in terms of spiritual energy alone, since Mo Shiyu was still a new student who had just entered Spirit Tar high school and was younger, she indeed couldn't compare to Mo Wushuang, who was already a university student at a top Spirit Tar institution.
Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, a lazy voice sounded:
"Excuse ... As the object of your dispute, I should be allowed to speak, right?"
Xia Yuan idly adjusted his eyepatch, a smile playing on his lips, "The only one qualified to contract , to be my master, is Mo Shiyu alone. I don't acknowledge anyone else!"
All eyes in the room turned toward him.
Mo Cheng also looked surprised, not expecting Xia Yuan to speak up for Mo Shiyu.
Generally speaking, from a Contracted Spirit's perspective, they only wanted to contract with Spirit Tars who had higher spiritual energy!
After all, this would allow them to exert more powerful strength and make leveling up easier.
Mo Wushuang was also stunned, imdiately stepping forward to recomnd himself unwillingly:
"Senior Xia Yuan!"
"Only my spiritual energy can allow you to display your full power!"
"Moreover, my ability to cultivate Contracted Spirits—whether in tactical arrangents or dungeon knowledge—is definitely more professional than that little girl Shiyu!"
Xia Yuan smiled and waved his hand at him:
"Sorry, sorry, but I only have eyes for Fatty Yu. I only want her—no one else need apply."
"If anyone wants to break the contract between and her..."
"Well... then they're my enemy."
Although Xia Yuan didn't consider himself a good person, he would absolutely never repay kindness with betrayal.
Mo Shiyu couldn't help but sneer inwardly—the other party wasn't actually concerned about her, but rather afraid that the SSR might be taken by others!
So he would definitely protect her.
