Chapter 15: The Genius Summoner’s Beloved

Page 1/3

Lu Ningshi’s eyes widened slightly.

She mechanically turned her head and said in disbelief, “You didn’t understand my actions at that time?”

Yu Xuan recalled for two seconds; all he could remember was her radiant and bright smile. Seeing her shocked expression again, he fell silent and pressed his lips apologetically, “Sorry, I…”

“Don’t speak for now.”

Lu Ningshi interrupted him with a hand, rubbing her aching temples in frustration.

Since starting this mission, everything seemed to go wrong.

She failed to make Yu Xuan dislike her.

Her attempt to run away from home ended in failure.

Later, she tried to use the Phantom Guild against him, but the competition had an accident, preventing her from even executing her plan.

Why was she so hopeless at everything?

Lu Ningshi lay face down on the sofa, looking utterly depressed.

Maybe she should just poison the Security Association members and have them apprehend her?

The Security Association was the largest and most authoritative organization overseeing summoners; offending them would guarantee success.

Suddenly sitting up quickly, her eyes sparkled.

“Yu Xuan, I want to go out and have some fun tomorrow.”

Yu Xuan turned to her, his expression tinged with displeasure. “What did you call me?”

“Yu… Ah Xuan, is that okay?”

Lu Ningshi twitched at the corner of her mouth, stepped forward, and tugged on his sleeve, looking at him expectantly.

Hearing this somewhat comforting nickname, Yu Xuan didn’t ask where they would go and nodded without hesitation. “Alright.”

Early the next morning, Lu Ningshi enthusiastically dragged him straight to their destination.

There were many people from the Security Association, all busy with their work, coming and going in a hurry.

Yu Xuan frowned slightly as he was led to the place. “There’s nothing fun here. Should we go somewhere else?”

“We’ve come this far, let’s look around first,” Lu Ningshi replied, her tone perfunctory and her mind clearly elsewhere.

She scanned the crowd, trying to pick someone influential to approach.

While hesitating, a man stepped out of the elevator, followed by several people carrying gift bags. His position indicated a high status.

Lu Ningshi’s eyes flickered. That’s him!

“You have too many people. I’m here to thank you, not to threaten anyone. Leave one or two people behind and send the rest away.”

Zhan Yixiang impatiently dismissed the crowd. His gaze casually swept over Lu Ningshi and Yu Xuan, then suddenly snapped back toward them.

His eyes lit up as he snatched a gift box from someone beside him and quickly approached the two.

“Yu Xuan!”

Lu Ningshi’s hand, hidden behind her back, paused as she discreetly dispersed the gathered toxic mist.

Yu Xuan withdrew his gaze from Lu Ningshi and glanced at the newcomer indifferently.

Zhan Yixiang smiled as he greeted Lu Ningshi, “You’re called Poisonvine, right? What business brings you to the Association today?”

“You know me?” Lu Ningshi raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, you’re my lifesavers.”

At this, Zhan Yixiang quickly handed her the gift box in his hand. “This is my token of gratitude for saving my life during the summoner team competition.”

“I was just thinking of visiting your place earlier, but you came to the Association first—what a coincidence, haha.”

The smile on Lu Ningshi’s face vanished, replaced by stiffness and numbness.

Zhan Yixiang glanced around cautiously and invited, “There are too many people here; this isn’t the place to talk. How about we go upstairs?”

“No…”

“Alright.”

Yu Xuan stepped forward, grasped Lu Ningshi’s hand to stop her refusal, then nodded to Zhan Yixiang. “Please lead the way.”

“Why did you agree to him?” Lu Ningshi glanced at the man ahead, lowering her voice with evident displeasure.

Yu Xuan looked down and explained, “He is Zhan Yixiang, the son of the Security Association’s president. He’s useful to me.”

“You said he’s the president’s son?”

Lu Ningshi was surprised.

With such sharp insight, she immediately picked a big fish?

Zhan Yixiang led them to a private office. After closing the door, he bowed solemnly at a ninety-degree angle.

“I truly thank you both this time. If not for you, I would have gotten into serious trouble.”

“To win the championship, I knowingly forced the use of the illusion vine despite its problems, which almost wiped out all the summoners. That was my fault.”

After standing up, he looked at them again and sincerely expressed his gratitude: “I don’t know how to thank you properly. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it’s within my power, I will do my utmost to help.”

Lu Ningshi gazed into his clear, sincere eyes and fell silent once more.

He was such a pure person; she found it hard to strike.

Besides, she was counting on the Association to arrest her and force Yu Xuan to kill her so she could contract a new beast. Now, they told her she had saved the president’s son?

With this connection, even if she committed misdeeds openly, the Association would likely side with her.

Lu Ningshi felt like crying but had no tears, her vision darkening.

“Stop talking.”

If he kept going, she felt she might faint.

Her plan was completely ruined.

Zhan Yixiang saw her twisted expression and looked at Yu Xuan in confusion.

“You said you can do anything?”

Yu Xuan’s eyes flashed as he stared directly at him.

“Ah? Yes, as long as it doesn’t violate the law, I can agree to anything.”

“What if I ask you to add a rule to the summoner association’s regulations?”

Zhan Yixiang sat opposite with a serious expression and asked, “What rule?”

“Summoners can marry their contracted beings.”

Lu Ningshi suddenly turned her head sharply.

Zhan Yixiang looked at Yu Xuan, then at Lu Ningshi beside him, both astonished and shocked. “You two… what is this…”

“We’re not like that!”

Lu Ningshi stood up abruptly, angrily denying.

Zhan Yixiang: ...

The faster you deny, the more you prove there’s something going on between you two, right?

“Yu Xuan, come with me.”

Lu Ningshi grabbed his arm, her face dark as she walked out.

Yu Xuan rose with the pull, his gaze lingering on her angry profile, his eyes dimming slightly.

Little Man… does she not want to marry him?

“Beast and human unions are unprecedented and universally resisted. Yu Xuan, are you trying to go against the whole world?”

Lu Ningshi pressed him against the wall, angrily questioning.

She was just a minor villainess; whether she completed the mission was up to fate, but changing the course of the world was absolutely out of the question!

“So, the vow back then—you lied to me on purpose, didn’t you?”

Yu Xuan asked suddenly.

Lu Ningshi’s rising anger plummeted instantly.

She hesitated, her eyes flickering vacantly. “When did I say that? How would I know?”

Yu Xuan sneered. “I remember everything from the illusion. Little Man, are you going to break our vow now?”

“And if I do?”

Lu Ningshi stared straight back at him.

She was a villainess; capriciousness was her nature and her right.

Yu Xuan reached out and brushed a lock of hair from her eyes, speaking softly, “You came to the Association with a purpose, didn’t you?”
