The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits
Chapter 519 - 523

Chapter 519: 523

Mei Gui, who was meditating in her cave dwelling, suddenly felt an intense palpitation.

A significant part of her seemed to be stripped away from her body and was leaving her.

This sensation was mysterious and elusive, causing her mind to waver and her to feel restless.

Unable to find the source of this restlessness, Mei Gui attributed it to the betrayal of several Beast Taming servants.

Since she couldn’t calm her mind, Mei Gui simply stood up, deciding not to cultivate anymore.

She thought to herself that maybe she should go out for another training adventure and find a truly loyal Beast Taming partner.

As a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, not having a Beast Taming companion to fight alongside would indeed be laughable.

Other ordinary disciples might risk losing their lives if they rashly went out to train.

However, with many experiences under her belt, Mei Gui was confident; stepping outside for her was like taking a leisurely trip to a beautiful scenic spot.

It was relaxing and easy, and she always came back with abundant rewards.

Previously, the White Fox, Little Snake, and Long-haired Rabbit had all unexpectedly come across her during her outings, and she had opportunistically claimed them.

This time, Mei Gui hardened her heart. The next time she found a good Contracted Beast, she would definitely make it sign a servant contract.

Although an equal contract would have a higher degree of mutual understanding, Mei Gui, having learned her lesson, was determined not to go through that again.

Now, Mei Gui had a good standing within the Beast Taming Sect. Just by looking at the various Heavenly Treasures she donated to the sect every month without fail, the Master showed great enthusiasm and leniency towards this young disciple.

Unknown to him, what Mei Gui discarded were the things she did not want.

In short, in Mei Gui’s eyes, the Master was nothing more than a human-shaped trash disposal site.

Mei Gui actually held the Master in contempt; his perfunctory attitude was clear as day, and such a cunning Sect Leader saw right through it but was willing to turn a blind eye as long as he received good items.

Truthfully, Mei Gui, a formidable female assassin from her previous life, was also naively formidable in certain other aspects.

She had failed to notice even when the Sect Leader had shown intentions of killing her in the past.

Perhaps the smooth sailing in this life had ground her caution into dust.

The Sect Leader had thought of ending her life because of her uniqueness, but such a foolish plan of killing the goose to get the eggs did not suit his nature of maximizing benefits.

Keeping this disciple, who was favored by luck, brought more advantages.

A steady stream of benefits, after all.

However...

What goes around comes around, today at your place, tomorrow at mine.

Su Li took a step, her figure flickered, and she appeared in the disciple living quarters of the inner sect of the Beast Taming Sect.

Her sudden appearance, besides causing a small commotion, did not significantly impact others.

The disturbance outside annoyed Mei Gui who pushed open the door of her dwelling, intending to scold, but upon seeing Su Li’s face, she swallowed her words.

The familiar yet alien visage easily transported her back to that scene from many years ago.

Mei Gui recalled the fear of being dominated and involuntarily touched her delicate face, which hadn’t been affected yet, but she vaguely felt pain in her cheeks.

Traumatized, Mei Gui’s body had preserved the fear of Su Li, and upon meeting again, her mouth wanted to show strength, but she trembled like a sieve.

Su Li found this incredibly amusing.

Being considerate, Su Li thought about Mei Gui’s pride and didn’t let this awkward and pitiful feeling last too long; instead, she quickened her actions.

They received praise!!!

Humans and Exotic Beasts could form contracts, either as equals or with humans taking the lead.

For thousands of years, it had always been this way.

Su Li, however, suddenly wondered what would happen if she reversed the roles in the contract.

Would the contract simply fail, or could the result turn upside down...turning into a relationship dominated by the Exotic Beast?

At the moment Su Li’s thought arose, nearly simultaneous with the beginning of her thought process, her actions also began.

To onlookers, from her appearance to her departure, it was but a brief moment, leaving everyone too shocked to speak.

A flash of light sparked between Mei Gui and Su Li, as if some force tightly linked the two.

Among those present, no one understood this light more thoroughly than the members of the Beast Taming Sect.

They were extremely familiar with the Contract Law.

Some extremists used it daily, mastering the law to perfection.

Unlike Mei Gui, who always encountered Exotic Beasts of decent talent from which to choose, most disciples faced scarce resources.

If they found an Exotic Beast that was even slightly suitable, they would hurriedly form a contract with it, waiting until they found a better one to dissolve the previous contract and form a new one with the better beast.

Unlike Mei Gui, who could sign several creatures, most of them could only sign one, it was not just a matter of repeatedly playing with contracts.

As for the Exotic Beasts in the subordinate position, sorry... even if they suffered, what did it matter to them?

Usually, these lowly beasts only dealt with having their contracts dissolved, bearing the backlash of the strikes, many of them couldn’t withstand it and lost their lives.

For the Beast Taming Sect disciples, who dominated all of this and found it all too normal, no one had considered that there was a third possibility for the Contract Law.

The glowing circle signaled the successful formation of the contract, but considering the initiator was also human... the others around found it very strange and eerie.

They had never seen Su Li, let alone known that she was the only transforming Phoenix Exotic Bird on the Cultivation Continent.

They still thought she was human.

Could a contract law between two humans also stand?

Others might not know, but how could Mei Gui not understand?

The person before her was an awakened Fierce Beast of Ancient Times, and although she had swiftly retaliated, she was still a step behind Su Li’s actions.

This resulted in her attack, intended for Su Li, landing squarely on herself after the contract was formed.

Not just that, her entire body felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible force within the palm of a hand...

This was the Contract Law’s punishment for a Beast Taming disciple failing to respect their master.

Only then did Mei Gui realize the unfriendliness of the Contract Law towards the Contracted Beasts; even the thought of disrespecting the master was forbidden.

But how could Mei Gui not hold a grudge when she was someone who would eradicate anyone who mildly offended her, let alone expect her to be tearfully grateful toward Su Li?

How could she restrain her murderous intent?

No worries, the powerful Contract Law would teach her how to be a better person.

Su Li watched with a hint of a smile as Mei Gui, full of malice towards her and eyes bloodshot, continued to scream and roll on the ground before her.

The world’s consciousness, which had once favored Mei Gui, also suddenly popped up in Su Li’s Conscious Sea.

It flatteringingly said like a lackey, "Mighty, mighty..."
