Selfish Long Ying? Let’s Tweak Her First!

Bai Zhou was already far away, carrying Lin Wei on his back.

Long Ying, standing where she was, clutching her reddened cheeks, finally came to her senses but still gritted her teeth and chased after him.

She once again spread her arms and blocked Bai Zhou's path.

However, her voice was much softer now.

"That's not what I meant, I mean... please contract me, let me be your Divine Weapon Maiden!"

"Sorry, I already have a Divine Weapon Maiden."

With that, Bai Zhou spun around and bypassed Lin Wei, continuing to walk forward.

Long Ying, of course, was not giving up and chased after him again, saying:

"I know, I didn't say I wanted to sign a Life-and-Death Contract with you, I can sign a Companion Contract with you!"

"Having one more Divine Weapon Maiden wouldn't just give you an extra combat power?"

"Although I'm only E-Class, you must have felt it during our temporary contract just now. Perhaps I still have a lot of potential that hasn't been unleashed!"

"And you also said that you are a very special Spirit Master, and my change just now must have been because of you..."

"So!" This time, Bai Zhou interrupted before Long Ying could finish:

"You want to contract with me so that you can gain powerful strength?"

"Yes, that's right!" This Long Ying was truly straightforward, answering without even thinking.

Bai Zhou sneered and said:

"Then if, in the future, you meet a more powerful Spirit Master, will you choose to continue your contract with me, or break it and pursue greater power?"

Long Ying froze on the spot.

Bai Zhou didn't look back and continued to walk away.

He didn't wait for Long Ying's reply.

Her hesitation was enough to explain the problem.

If Bai Zhou had simply wanted to contract with Long Ying, he would have agreed long ago.

However, there was no system notification about blocking the protagonist's luck in his mind.

This proved that the unrevealed bond between Long Ying and the protagonist Chu Yun still existed!

Bai Zhou knew that it was because of the Peerless Sword Casket that he could unleash the full power of an Ultra SSS-Class Spirit Weapon.

But Chu Yun activated it through his protagonist's halo!

This meant that in this world, besides himself, at least Chu Yun could make Long Ying feel this kind of powerful strength.

As long as the bond between Long Ying and Chu Yun remained intact.

This proved that in the future, Long Ying would have a high chance of leaving him, attracted by Chu Yun's protagonist's halo, and throwing herself into Chu Yun's embrace.

Wouldn't that mean he was just paving the way for Chu Yun?

It was impossible for Bai Zhou to do such a thing!

Remember, Lin Wei was coaxed and tricked by Bai Zhou, and after being disappointed in Chu Yun, she showed her current performance.

This Long Ying didn't even know who Chu Yun was yet.

Naturally, he couldn't sever their bond by starting from Chu Yun's side.

Therefore, he could only target Long Ying herself!

Long Ying, on the other hand, stood frozen for more than ten seconds, unable to figure out how to answer Bai Zhou's question.

Indeed, the reason she was able to walk out of the mission location alive was because she had felt an unprecedented power.

It was this desire for strength that had driven her to make that request to Bai Zhou.

That's right, Long Ying was inherently selfish.

If she weren't, why would she have posted a fake mission hoping someone would take her to that mission location?

When posting the mission, she hadn't cared about the lives of those low-level Spirit Masters and Divine Weapon Maidens.

She only cared about herself.

It was still the same now; all she wanted was her own powerful strength, nothing more.

And now, Bai Zhou's question...

If she met a more powerful Spirit Master in the future...

No!

Future matters can be dealt with in the future!

If she couldn't seize the opportunity to become stronger right now, there would be no future at all!

For the sake of her future, Long Ying gritted her teeth and chased after him again:

"I promise you, I won't..."

But as soon as she started speaking, her pupils instantly shrank.

As if she had seen something, a flicker of fear even appeared in her eyes.

In the next second, she actually intended to turn and run.

But before she could leave, she looked at Bai Zhou.

Unsure what she was thinking, she gritted her teeth slightly.

With a swift movement, she reached Bai Zhou's side and, without regard for what he might think, grabbed his arm.

She also leaned to the side, as if hiding behind Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou, completely caught off guard, stood there looking at Long Ying in confusion.

But before Bai Zhou could even ask a question...

"Whoosh!" he was suddenly surrounded by four or five men in black.

These four or five men in black had already entered the Spirit Master possession state.

They exuded an oppressive aura and held various Spirit Weapons in their hands.

The leader of the black-clothed men immediately said to Bai Zhou in a deep voice:

"Kid, hand over the woman next to you, and we can spare your life!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhou understood.

Long Ying, that selfish woman, had actually used him as a human shield?

And these men in black were probably the minor villains from the original story who had captured Long Ying, right?

Bai Zhou looked at Long Ying with a cold smile in his eyes.

Long Ying seemed to know this too and deliberately avoided Bai Zhou's gaze.

However, her hand still clutched Bai Zhou's sleeve tightly.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhou broke into a radiant smile:

"You want her?"

"Then take her!"

With that, he supported Lin Wei's little backside with one hand and used the other to shove Long Ying away.

[Ding! Detected major character suffering psychological damage +999, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 200 more to activate!]

Bai Zhou's action stunned the surrounding men in black.

The leader of the men in black even burst into laughter and said to Long Ying:

"Miss, the man you found is unreliable!"

Of course, he didn't forget to turn to Bai Zhou and say:

"Kid, you're smart. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your life!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhou only sneered inwardly.

You're going to spare my life?

But this Young Master has no intention of sparing yours!

Of course, Bai Zhou said nothing at the moment.

He was still counting on these men in black to put this Long Ying in her place.

Long Ying was also stunned at this moment, turning to look at Bai Zhou in disbelief.

She couldn't understand. Facing such a powerful Spider Wolf, the other party hadn't shown any sign of backing down. Yet, facing a few humans, he had so easily handed her over?!

"What are you doing?!"

She stood there, questioning him incredulously:

"You can't hand me over to them! They want to capture me! They're all bad guys!"

Her words almost made Bai Zhou laugh.

Whether they are bad guys or not, what does that have to do with me?

Bai Zhou then said dismissively:

"Who told you I was a good person?"

"You!"

[Ding! Detected Long Ying suffering psychological damage +999, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 150 more to activate!]

After saying this, Bai Zhou even made a "please" gesture to the men in black and slowly withdrew from their encirclement.

However, Bai Zhou did not leave.

After all, he couldn't possibly just let the Destined Villain Value he'd acquired slip through his fingers, could he?

The group of black-clad figures rubbed their hands together as they approached Long Ying.

"You... what are you doing?!"

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

"Little girl, we've been chasing you for so long, and finally, we've caught you!"

"Hehehehe!"

"Just come with us obediently and be our nourishment!"

The black-clad figures closed in on Long Ying like hungry wolves.

Long Ying's face turned pale, and in her panic, tears even streamed down her face.

"I'm not going with you! You scoundrels!"

With a surge of desperation, she tried to shove them aside and escape.

But how could she, an E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden without a Spirit Master, possibly contend with these Spirit Masters who had Divine Weapon Maidens possessing them?

With a thump, someone kicked Long Ying squarely in the stomach.

"Ah—!" Long Ying cried out in pain and fell to the ground. The hood on her head came off in the process.

The moment it fell off, a wave of gasps erupted from the black-clad figures:

"Wow, this little girl is that beautiful?"

"Hehehe!"

"Boss, why don't we guys have some fun with her first? It's not too late to take her back to the boss after."
