Chapter 17: Phantoms

"Ahem, back to business. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat do you know about this kind of covenant beast? ”

The object of Su Peng's question was, of course, Qin Yuyan. As a veteran contractor, no one has a better say than her.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I've heard of a certain Pact beast being able to become invisible like a chameleon, but that's just a skill. Congenital shadowless and formless ...... I have to admit that this guy has set a precedent. ”

"Hmph, of course."

Her Royal Highness raised her neck proudly.

"How can my phantom be compared to other mundane things?"

"Phantom, is that its name?"

Sounds like a good fit. Su Peng nodded, but then he was a little worried.

"The problem is that if you can't see it, you don't even know its size. And how do we test its capabilities? ”

"Then it's up to her master. There will always be a natural connection between the beast and its owner. If you want to understand your own covenant beast, you must enter his state of mental communication. ”

He has a heart. Xia Muyun also supported Su Peng's words and understood the meaning. Synchronize your spirit with the Covenant Beast, and control your Covenant Beast as if you were controlling your body......

Slowly closing his eyes, Xia Muyun exhaled deeply.

Suddenly, the wind changed. What was originally just a gentle breeze suddenly became unpredictable. It scurried back and forth between the three of them like a fluid. Su Peng knew that she had succeeded.

"Well done"

As soon as the words came out, he watched in surprise as Qin Yuyan's aqua blue dress floated upward. In the blink of an eye, snow-white knees were already exposed.

"Interesting, this can be considered a challenge to me, right?"

Qin Yuyan, who was half-squinting, pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Su Peng suddenly felt the temperature around him drop again. This time it wasn't a hallucination, there was already a snowflake sliding in front of his eyes!

"Alright, let's stop it. I'm still in school, and I don't want to see tomorrow the school newspaper say that there is snow in August, and there are demons or something. ”

The upturned skirt paused, and I don't know if it was his persuasion that worked or if he felt that he was indeed a little excessive. In short, as the air turbulence stabilized, Xia Muyun slowly opened his eyes.

"How's that, know your ...... What are the Phantoms' abilities? ”

"Probably, it feels like a big lump of marshmallows out of sight. It can stretch and contract within a certain range, or it can be changed into any shape I want. ”

Xia Muyun raised his hand in front of him as if he had touched something. Of course, Su Peng didn't see anything.

Morph system? He touched his chin, and then looked at Qin Yuyan with some uncertainty.

"Invisible and invisible, a sneak attack is indeed good. But once the other party is on guard, she will not have any chance. ”

Qin Yuyan made a conclusion in a cold voice.

"So, it's almost impossible to win a duel with this ability."

"Duel?"

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Xia Muyun instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Tilting her head, she cast a sharp gaze at Su Peng.

"What is the duel talking about?"

"Hmm, I wanted to tell you later."

Scratching his head, Su Peng was also a little worried. After all, for a young girl living in a peaceful environment, it is indeed difficult to say such things as asking her to kill. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to hide part of the truth.

"So, there is a limit to the number of contractors. If I want to survive, I have to prove myself with a win on the weekend? ”

"That's it"

Under Qin Yuyan's meaningless gaze, he nodded with some difficulty. But the opponent's fate, Su Peng decided not to describe it too much.

"Combat ability? To be honest, there are no opponents, so it's hard to judge. ”

While muttering, Xia Muyun's gaze glanced at Qin Yuyan. The meaning speaks for itself. It's like a competitive bulldog, and he doesn't want to bite that frost and snow flower all the time.

"Oh, should it be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...... No, it's just that the ignorant are fearless."

Putting down the arm she was holding, Qin Yuyan walked up to her with a sneer.

"Yes, let's give you a good idea of what a battle between contractors is!"

Half a minute later......

Syllable~

In the posture of landing on the ground first, Her Royal Highness the princess lay on the ground very indecently. Qin Yuyan, on the other hand, took out a filled coffee from his bag with an indifferent face, opened it with a click, and took a sip. It's clear who wins and who loses.

Su Peng, who had watched this short battle all the time, stretched out his hand to Xia Muyun with some amusement, but was slapped away by the angry girl. Standing up straight, and wiping his dusty little face with the napkin he was carrying, Xia Muyun gave Qin Yuyan a middle finger hatefully.

"Wait for me, until I fully master the power of the Phantom. When the time comes, I won't spare you if you cry and beg! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Yuyan's reaction, she ran out of the woods angrily. He didn't take two steps and tripped over a branch, got up and turned around and glared fiercely, and then disappeared from the sight of the two.

"It's really ......"

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Peng retracted his gaze and turned to Qin Yuyan.

"Can't you just try to get along?"

"Hmph, I'm not interested in pleasing people."

Shaking the coffee bottle in his hand, Qin Yuyan glanced at Su Peng again after speaking.

"And, instead of worrying about this, worrying about that. Don't you think about yourself? Don't forget, you'll be officially competing this weekend as well. ”

"Wait!"

Su Peng suddenly remembered a very serious problem, and couldn't help but say eagerly.

"I'm supposed to be at the bottom of the rankings right now, right? Could it be that Xia Muyun's dueling object is ......"

"Rest assured, not to mention that the two people who have signed the contract will not be arranged together. Each new contractor will be rewarded with a bonus point similar to the Starter Pack. It's a special benefit of STARLab, and it won't let newcomers die too quickly. ”

Having said that, there was no smile in Qin Yuyan's eyes. No amount of means can hide the bloody facts.

"Otherwise, let's stay overnight. It just so happens that tomorrow afternoon's class will end early. ”

“…… What the hell are you up to? ”

Examining him with a suspicious gaze, Qin Yuyan said alertly.

"What the hell can I have an idea?"

Su Peng smiled and spread his hands.

"I just want to try to live."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

finally persuaded Qin Yuyan to borrow her mansion as a place to stay. Humming a relaxing song, Su Peng was hugged by a hand stretched out next to him as soon as he returned to class.

"Boy, you've been mixing well lately. Even Xia Muyun hooked up? ”

Su Peng was shocked, and turned his head to find that it was Sun Jing. Only then did he exhale relaxedly.

"Damn, don't scare me. I don't know if people are scared to death."

"Come on, a moment of frost and snow, a moment of civilian princess. What the hell do you think? ”

Sun Jing scoffed, and the arm hooked around his neck also increased a little force.

"Hmph. Don't mess around, I sat next to you last night! ”
