If even Law Control Level can be improved...

Gu Xing's heart burned with excitement.

After all, he remembered with perfect clarity how Liu Li and Vera used their laws before.

The two of them, at Commander Level, could still remain undefeated even against Monarch Level foes when using Law.

And that was when both of them only had a tiny sliver of Law Control, while Lilith's Law Control was surely far above theirs.

With Lilith's current strength, plus his own Soul Devouring Talent boosting Lilith's control over Law—

It seems...

It really might let Lilith have Totem Level combat power at just Half-step Totem Level.

Meanwhile, inside the Beast Taming Space, things were already in total chaos.

Fei Yue already felt like she couldn't hold them back any longer.

"Liu Li! Vera! Calm down, you two!"

Fei Yue spread her arms wide, determinedly blocking the two in front of her, her little face flushed with anxiety.

"No way, what is Lilith doing?! She's not even our Master's Guardian Beast, so why does she get to hold Master in her arms?!"

"No— Even if she was Master's Guardian Beast, she shouldn't think she can just hold him in her arms like that!"

At that moment, Vera's beautiful eyes were blazing with fire as she glared at Lilith, who was holding Gu Xing in her arms, absolutely furious.

Liu Li, beside Vera, felt exactly the same.

"Her power-up is already done, but she's still clinging to Master—she's obviously taking advantage!"

"Back when she did the Blood Covenant with Master, she must have had some hidden agenda!"

Liu Li's face, too, was filled with anger; if she could have her way, she'd burst out of the Beast Taming Space and separate the two right now.

The fury of Liu Li and Vera made Fei Yue's scalp tingle.

Even though Fei Yue had previously tried to help Liu Li and Vera reconcile—though it had ended a bit awkwardly—

Gu Xing saw...

That ever since then, the two actually did get along much better.

So, he simply handed over the management of the entire Beast Taming Space to Fei Yue.

One reason being that he rarely summoned Fei Yue to fight, so Fei Yue had plenty of time to stay inside the Beast Taming Space.

Another reason being that Fei Yue's combat abilities weren't strong.

With her managing the Beast Taming Space—even if the other Guardian Beasts had opinions—none would ever lay a hand on her.

On top of that, Fei Yue's personality meant she always got along well with every Guardian Beast.

Therefore, Fei Yue was the most suitable Guardian Beast for this job.

Fei Yue bit her lip, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her little hands.

In front of her, the two elder sisters' auras had become impossible to restrain; as the "Beast Taming Space Manager," she was completely powerless now.

"Fei Yue, stop blocking us. That Blood Ancestor is trying to steal our Master, and she hasn't even signed a Contract with him! We're on the same side here!"

Hearing this from Vera, Fei Yue had no grounds to object.

All she could do was nod and step aside, making way:

"S-sorry, Master..."

She apologized silently in her heart, "I really tried my best..."

As soon as Liu Li and Vera saw Fei Yue move aside, they immediately darted out of the Beast Taming Space.

Even if it was the Blood Ancestor, if she wanted to steal Master, they would never allow it.

In the corner, Sally lowered her head, her transparent spirit body trembling slightly.

She, too, wanted to be like her elder sisters, always able to guard by Gu Xing's side.

Her greatest wish was to stay by Gu Xing-sama's side, to be his little maidservant.

Now, having become Gu Xing-sama's Guardian Beast, was already a tremendous fortune.

But the way she was now...

She couldn't help Gu Xing-sama at all!

Not only couldn't she join in battle, she couldn't even stay by Gu Xing-sama's side to care for him.

Sally took a deep breath, her eyes growing determined.

She needed to work even harder.

She must not let down Gu Xing-sama's expectations.

...

Outside.

Gu Xing was still immersed in the enlightenment from his evolved Soul Devouring Talent, when suddenly he felt a powerful force yank him out of Lilith's arms.

Immediately after, a bolt of sharp pain shot through his waist...

"Hiss!"

Even with his Commander Tier Nine Constitution, he had zero resistance to Liu Li's grip.

His pale skin instantly flushed with angry red.

Gu Xing blinked in confusion, staring at Vera blocking in front of him, and at Liu Li, the culprit behind him. For a moment he couldn't figure out what was happening.

Why were Vera and Liu Li here?

What just happened?

Right now, Vera looked at Lilith, a hint of hostility on her face.

"Lilith, why do you keep clinging to Master? He's our Master, not yours."

Vera's words made Lilith's heart skip a beat.

Only then did she realize...

Just now, she'd completely treated Gu Xing as if he was her own Master.

Now, with Vera's reminder, she understood...

Their relationship was simply a Blood Covenant, not the contract between Beast Master and Guardian Beast.

But that daze lasted only a moment.

In her scarlet gown, she was the unrivaled Blood Clan Ancestor!

Her lips lifted into a wicked smile:

"Oh?" She tapped her red lips with slim fingers. "What if I sign a Beast Taming Contract with Gu Xing right now?"

As Vera and Liu Li's faces darkened dramatically, Lilith spun elegantly, her crimson dress flaring out like a blood-red rose:

"Or perhaps..."

She suddenly leaned in, breathing fragrance near Gu Xing's ear, "And if your Master fell in love with me, wouldn't that make me his..."

"Wife!"

The last two syllables curled seductively at the end, reverberating in the air for a long time.

Those two words exploded in Vera and Liu Li's brains like thunder.

The two of them were instantly petrified.

Even though they were Gu Xing's Guardian Beasts, in secret...

They'd both fantasized about becoming Gu Xing's wife!

But they hadn't expected...

Lilith would actually say it right to their faces today.

Almost instantly, Liu Li and Vera's gazes locked onto Lilith.

There was a clear hostility in their eyes.

Gu Xing, realizing things were spiraling, hurried to stop them.

He was all too aware now of how much trouble it caused when Guardian Beasts fought among themselves.

Even though Lilith wasn't technically his Guardian Beast, this sort of situation should definitely be avoided if possible.

"Alright, Lilith, enough joking around. Let's get going."

"We're not far from the Fox Race now, and after that we still have to visit the Angel Race. We need to hurry."

Lilith was stunned for a moment, red eyes looking toward Gu Xing.

When she saw his pure, earnest expression, a sudden and inexplicable sourness bubbled up in her heart.

That line earlier—with half meant as a joke, the other half...

Was straight from the heart!

But Gu Xing didn't seem to notice at all.

"Hmph!"

Fuming, Lilith waved her hand, her figure shrinking instantly back into a petite loli form, and promptly returned to the Beast Taming Space.

No Contract? Fine!

She was the mighty Blood Clan Ancestor; would she ever lack for contract partners?

Once her power was restored, even if Gu Xing begged her to sign a contract, she'd turn him down!

Except—she didn't notice...

That while she'd originally refused to contract with Gu Xing, she was actually starting to waver now!

Watching Lilith suddenly disappear, Gu Xing touched his nose in puzzlement, but quickly focused on business again:

"Liu Li, you'll take me the rest of the way at full speed."

"No problem!"

Liu Li agreed instantly.

Except for Lilith, Liu Li was the fastest among them now.

With Liu Li leading the way, they could reach the Qingqiu Race in the shortest time.
