Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System
Chapter 929 - 927 Employment Contract

Chapter 929: Chapter 927 Employment Contract

Mirages were but an optical phenomenon, refracting sceneries that existed in reality elsewhere. Since she could always see this castle, it meant somewhere in this world, there really must be a castle like it.

She took a step forward, waiting for the mirage to vanish before her eyes.

The first time the illusion of the mirage shattered, she was deeply affected. But as it occurred more frequently, she gradually became composed.

However, this time it did not shatter. The cool and refreshing lake water spread through her body starting from her toes!

It wasn’t fake!

...

"Mom—you woke up." Little Miqi, wearing a sleeping cap and a pink Little Angel pajama set, walked towards Sally.

Sally snapped back to reality and reached out her hand, "Mom’s little darling, don’t you want to sleep a little longer?"

Little Miqi snuggled into Sally’s embrace, "Mom, you were crying in your sleep did you have a nightmare?"

"No, mom had a good dream." Sally picked her up and kissed her soft little face, "Are you happy learning with Saint Sa, the teacher?"

"Yes! Teacher Saint Sa knows a lot of things." Admiration shone in Little Miqi’s eyes.

Sally smiled, "Then, how about we take him back to Divine Beast University?"

"Yes!" Little Miqi strongly agreed.

"You slept quite long this time." Saint Sa, in a grey casual shirt and trousers, walked towards Sally with a smile.

"Teacher Saint Sa, hello." Little Miqi greeted politely and well-behaved.

"Hello to you too, Little Miqi~" Saint Sa’s smile grew even more gentle.

Little Miqi said to Sally, "Mom, I’m thirsty."

"Hmm, go have some water then." Sally put her down.

Little Miqi ran off.

Saint Sa pulled two lollipops from his trouser pocket, "Xiaoqi gave these to me, do you want one?"

Sally reached out and took one, "Thanks for looking after my child for a year."

"This year has been the happiest year I’ve lived," Saint Sa laughed, "I should be the one thanking you. Tell me, what happened?"

"You guess!" Sally said, biting into the lollipop with a nonchalant expression.

"Heartbreak?" Saint Sa asked.

Sally chuckled, "Do I look like I’ve been heartbroken?"

"The more I look, the more you seem like it."

"...Haha, let’s not talk about that, can we really enter the Promised Wall when we get to Tilo Star?"

Saint Sa leaned against the corridor wall, "I’ve been to Tilo Star six times, this making it the seventh."

"Oh? Have you never entered the Promised Wall in those six times?"

"No."

"Looks like it’s not easy to get in. What do you wish for?"

"You already know."

"To reverse the time on Abel Star, do you think I’d believe that?"

"Indeed, to reverse the time on Abel Star, a whole century!" Saint Sa looked at Sally, "If the Beast World is on the time axis of the Abel Universe, it might reverse too."

"...Then the Beast World might return to the medieval ages," Sally mused while enjoying her lollipop.

"Yep, isn’t that exciting?"

"Exciting your big head. What exactly are you trying to do that you must reverse time?"

"I want to know a truth..." Saint Sa fell silent.

"You’re sure it’s just to know the truth? Not to bring someone back from the dead?" Sally looked at him.

"Yes." Saint Sa nodded.

Sally smiled, "If that’s the case, I’ll make your wish come true."

"Oh?" Saint Sa was surprised.

Sally replied, "If I grant your wish, then you have to help me fulfill my wish."

"Agreed." Saint Sa responded.

Sally extended her hand, "Give me a relic."

Saint Sa asked, "What kind of relic?"

"An item that has witnessed the truth," Sally replied.

Saint Sa took out a violet brooch from his space bracelet, "Will this do?"

"Sure." Sally, holding the ring, said to Xiaomei, "Use detective mode, trace it back a hundred years."

"Right away, host," Xiaomei responded.

The environment inside the hallway began to shift rapidly.

Finally, the surroundings settled on a place that was familiar to Sally, "The Governor’s Palace?"

Saint Sa’s expression suddenly tightened, as if he had become part of the surroundings.

A woman dressed in a complex and gorgeous court gown, with the violet brooch on her chest, hurried into Yase’s study.

However, the person in the study was not Yase, it was the 24th!

He lay leisurely on a long couch, looking pleased, with a woman sitting on his waist; she was nearly naked except for a slim veil masking her face...

The 24th appeared unconcerned when the courtly lady arrived, even going as far as to pat the veiled woman’s waist.

But the veiled woman didn’t dare to stay, climbing off the 24th in panic, kneeling on the ground, her delicate body trembling, "Princess, Your Highness!"

The court lady walked up to her, drew a dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed it straight through the veiled woman’s throat!

As she pulled the dagger out, blood spurted, staining the court lady’s dress, and the violet brooch too.

The 24th slowly rose from the couch, without a glance at the veiled woman whose eyes wouldn’t close in death, he then walked up to the courtly lady, fiercely wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into a kiss...

The court lady’s eyes gradually turned red, dilating...

The 24th kissed her neck, then suddenly his teeth sank into her vein, the sound of swallowing was clearly audible.

Sally looked towards Saint Sa, only to see his face pale with grief as he watched the woman on the ground!

The courtly lady’s clothes were stripped open by the 24th; the violet brooch lay on the now-dead veiled woman, and a mass of violet-blue flames rose, entirely burning the woman’s corpse!

The 24th walking out of the study with the court lady in his arms!

In the end, the violet brooch was passed onto a ragged, beggar-like young Saint Sa, and the person who gave it to him told him—your sister Mei Shizi committed theft and killed herself out of fear of her crime. This brooch is the evidence of her guilt!

"That’s enough!" Saint Sa knelt on the ground, his face streaming with tears!

Sally crouched down, gently patting his back, "I’m sorry, please accept my condolences."

Saint Sa turned around and hugged her tightly.

Sally instinctively wanted to push away, but in the next moment, time stopped!

Then something pierced her heart!

But quickly, time started flowing again!

Little Song came looking for Sally, noticed the pause in time, and instinctively shouted, "Break!"

The pause ended.

Then he saw Sally, pierced through the chest by a golden needle and immediately yelled, "Brother, Sister, come quick, mom’s been stabbed!"

All the young cubs hurried over.

And they glared at Saint Sa with discontent!

Saint Sa quickly raised his hands, "I didn’t kill your mom, someone was spying just now, I only used the Reverse Needle Technique to break their spell."

Sally pulled out the golden needle and jabbed it into Saint Sa’s chest, "Here you go, don’t leave me to enjoy the Heart-piercing Needle all by myself! Have a taste!"

Enduring the intense pain, Saint Sa was speechless "..."

"There’s something on this needle’s tip, isn’t there?" Xiaoqi asked.

Saint Sa froze for a moment then laughed, "Nothing escapes Xiaoqi, indeed! This needle is imbued with the Judgement Curse, if it pierces the blood of my enemy, they will surely die from it! Of course, as a cost, I might die too~"

"You stabbed me just now as a test," Sally said.

"Yes, there’s a hint of the Blood Clan in your body. And in my years of investigation, I’ve only discovered that the one who killed my sister was a member of the High-class Blood Clan!"

"Better to kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

"I will make amends for my actions just now."

"Fine," Sally told Xiaomei, "Prepare an employment contract."

"Right away, host," Xiaomei responded.

After signing the contract, a mouse-shaped mark appeared on Saint Sa’s forearm.

Sally said, "The contract is for a hundred Abel Stars years, whatever I tell you to do, you will do it."

"The contract will come into effect after I’ve taken my revenge. And now that I know who my enemy is, I must first fulfill this long-standing desire; I can’t accompany you to the Promised Wall."

"...Huh?"

Just signed the contract and already asking for time off!
