"..."

Lin Guang suddenly said, "Because the word 'Mystical Technique' represents the essence of the Spirit Master system."

"Perhaps from the perspective of Extraordinary individuals from other worlds, Spirit Masters are a very peculiar profession—without a Contractual Partner, a lone Spirit Master can do very little, almost to the point of being considered weak."

"But if you work wholeheartedly with a Contractual Partner, a Spirit Master can achieve unimaginable miracles."

"This is Mystical Technique."

"You may not have realized, but that sword strike just now, in my opinion, was already the embryonic form of our [Mystical Technique], which is why we were able to accomplish what you thought was impossible."

The young man softly said, "That's actually what I wanted to say."

"Although I don't know what you're worried about, I hope you don't forget one thing."

"You're not alone anymore; you don't have to bear everything by yourself, and there's no need to be so pessimistic."

"Many times, things aren't as bad as you think."

"Moreover..."

The young man walked in front of the young woman, his dark golden eyes gazing at her.

In an instant, Chelina's beautiful orange-red eyes trembled, her usually calm gaze now clearly flustered, yet something indescribable seemed to be brewing within her.

It was an incredibly unfamiliar and intense warmth she had almost never felt in her life.

She looked at the young man approaching her, almost wanting to avoid his gaze, but Lin Guang surprised her by not forcing her to meet his eyes. Instead, he placed his arm around the young woman's shoulder, gently exerted force with both hands, and softly turned Chelina around. He then retrieved an innocent pufferfish, and once again adopted the previous posture, embracing her from behind gently and tenderly.

Afterward, he once again clasped her slender hand holding the blade with his warm right hand.

In that moment, Chelina felt the familiar Sword Intent transmitted through the contract, carrying the unspoken half of Lin Guang's words.

—As long as you don't willingly give up, I will exert all my strength to hold your hand and never let go.

......

Evening.

Lisa carefully extended her chopsticks, picking up a slice of uncooked innocent pufferfish as thin as a cicada's wing from the ice mountain, then dipped it slightly in wasabi and soy sauce before putting it in her mouth.

In an instant, she let out a little animal-like whimper, her tail and ears, and even the delicate little feet wrapped in white silk under the table, all moved together, curling and relaxing her toes, revealing a look of happiness on her cute and exquisite little face: "This is so delicious..."

—She has half Eastern Country blood, making her quite receptive to raw fish dishes like this.

Lin Guang smiled and said, "Yes, it's really delicious."

On the table, among the various dishes, several plates of innocent pufferfish meat were placed in the protagonist's position. Some were served as sashimi on ice crystals for preservation, while others were used as ingredients for hotpot, with an electric hotpot Lin Guang specially prepared bubbling nearby.

Lin Guang reached out with chopsticks, putting a few pieces of fish into the boiling hotpot.

A few seconds later, the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence determined that they had reached the optimal doneness, and he immediately scooped them out and placed them in the eager Vishdair's condiment bowl beside him.

The silver-haired girl didn't even blow on it—after all, she wasn't afraid of the heat—and stuffed it directly into her mouth, showing a very satisfied expression.

She rarely chewed slowly for ten seconds before swallowing it, shaking her tail comfortably, then said, "I've never seen you make this before."

"It's quite difficult to handle. I only recently got a bit of confidence. Otherwise, eating something toxic like this, given your constitution, would leave your tongue and head numb for several days."

Lin Guang said, "I put a lot of effort into these dishes."

"Heh, is that so..."

Vishdair glanced at him, then at Chelina opposite him, grinning with a faintly smiling expression: "I suppose I'll believe you."

Lin Guang also covertly glanced at the wolf-eared maid sitting across—she seemed to show no change, simply eating quietly and evenly.

But when Lin Guang's gaze reached her, her clear orange-red eyes trembled slightly.

Yet in the next moment,

Lin Guang also placed a few perfectly cooked pieces of fish into her bowl.

"...Thank you."

Her ears twitched, she looked down and blew on her bowl.

Then, she earnestly began to savor these delicacies, carefully prepared by her and Lin Guang.

The young woman's manner was like reminiscing about her memories... or awaiting a certain impending moment.

And at this moment, her gaze seemed no longer to waver, as though she'd made a certain, firm decision.

......

December 24th.

Afternoon.

"There you go."

Lin Guang put away the Golden Needle and turned his head slightly: "How does it feel?"

With the young woman's movement as she rose, her long hair of black and red cascaded like a waterfall, draping over her pale shoulders, as she sat up on the bed and gently spoke: "…Feels very good."

She gently placed a slender hand over her back—on the delicate, pale skin of her back, the bluish-gray Dao Marks had become clearer, vaguely showing a combination of two sword marks and a shadow resembling a wolf's head.

And this also meant she had significantly recovered in terms of Ether and soul layers, with the mutual devouring of the two [Giant Wolves] already showing an almost one-sided trend.

It could be announced that Chelina's silent, deep blue Giant Wolf had become the victor.

At this moment, she had reached eighty percent status.

From the other end of the contract, Lin Guang could feel the almost astonishingly strong power and Life Force within her.

Although she was currently without a stitch of clothing, there wasn't any amorous atmosphere in the room.

Both seemed to have anticipated the arrival of this day.

"...Lin Guang."

Chelina suddenly spoke, her voice becoming calm and placid, no longer using the master-servant address.

Just like... the first day she woke up in this room.

She softly said, "Will you accompany me out today?"

Lin Guang gently nodded.

…

A few minutes later.

The young man opened the bedroom door, stepping out together with the wolf-eared girl.

Vishdair and Lisa in the living room saw Chelina, whose attire was entirely different from before, even from the very start as they met.

Her hair was tied in a slightly untidy high ponytail, she wore a red ladies' shirt, a black tie, and below that were smart black striped shorts, exposing her entire thighs and slender calves, with her shoes changed to a pair of women's leather shoes.

The most notable detail was the black long-coat with a flowing hem casually draped over her without buttoning.

This outfit, coupled with her natural air of nobility, elevated her aura tremendously, adding a mature vibe that almost overshadowed her youthful appearance— in fact, except for Lisa, who didn't become smaller when crossing over, Vishdair and Chelina's physical appearances were reverted to their girlhood, blurring their ages, making them seem like peers.

But in fact, their ages weren't the same.

At this moment, Chelina was no longer the submissive maid but something akin to a godfather or assassin from some country within the European Federation.

Lisa's mouth dropped open, extremely surprised.

The feeling this outfit gave her... was very similar to her mother's.

Rather, they both came from the same place, hence the similarity in aura.

She walked over to Lisa, patting her head and ears, then looked at Vishdair, who stood with arms crossed, and said softly, "Sorry, there's something I need to do."

"Would you let me and him go out for a while?"

"Chelina sister..."

Lisa suddenly showed an uneasy expression, glancing at the silent Lin Guang.

Standing at the entrance, Vishdair, on the other hand, examined both her and Lin Guang with no surprise in her eyes.

"Go ahead."

The silver-haired girl, unusually, displayed no special attitude, just nodded calmly.

"Thank you."

Chelina and Lin Guang walked towards the door together.

But as Chelina passed by Vishdair, the silver-haired girl's eyes suddenly changed, her amber irises reflecting a hint of murderous intent brimmed with bloodlust.

For some reason, Chelina felt as if she understood her meaning instantly.

—If you dare to break his heart... I will certainly kill you.

The murderous intent was so real, but Chelina did not pause at all, placing her hand on the doorknob.

Then, she stepped out.
