Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 453: Regrets

The details of the competition will come out this afternoon, and the official match won’t start until tomorrow.

There is also time available.

This place is filled with an exotic charm that differs from the scenery inside the Federation, fueled by a sense of curiosity, the two can engage in a couple-like, enjoyable exploration.

"Okay, but we can’t go too far. This area is unregulated and inhabited by numerous fierce Demon Beasts," Qin Wanfeng agreed.

Xiao Zhan and his partner rarely have requests for dates.

This would be the first time.

He didn’t know why, but he didn’t ask too many questions and chose to agree.

The reason is simple.

That is, dating is also a part of cultivation.

And this part is actually very important.

It has been mentioned before, the compatibility between a Spirit Master and an Artifact Spirit is the core driving factor of their combat strength.

If the levels are high but the two individuals have divergent thoughts, their actual combat strength will be severely lacking.

The bigger the divergence, the more significantly the combat power decreases.

In severe cases, the contract may shatter, cultivation destroyed, never to be recovered.

Whereas with high compatibility, the combat power often explodes exponentially, making fighting above one’s level almost effortless.

"I’ll send a few people to protect you," Qin Wanfeng added.

Although Xiao Zhan agreed to just wander nearby, Qin Wanfeng was still worried.

"Okay."

Xiao Zhan agreed straightforwardly.

He’s not an arrogant fool; why refuse protection?

He trusted that nothing would happen to him, but extra protection meant an extra life; there was no need to act tough.

Qin Wanfeng was momentarily stunned by the answer; he had thought Xiao Zhan would refuse.

After all, during a date between two people, they would want to do some intimate things, and having a few third wheels around would be inconvenient.

Then, he assigned four people to follow Xiao Zhan.

"Their strength is not as high as yours, but one to cover, one to communicate, if something really happens, we can come to support at the first moment," Qin Wanfeng explained.

His arrangements were very thorough.

Xiao Zhan’s strength meant that unless a Seventh Grade Sovereign was arranged, no one could really protect him.

And there were no Seventh Grade Sovereigns available here.

"Thank you."

Xiao Zhan thanked him, then left with Ye Youlong.

After leaving.

Some other members of the Federation were resting at the base’s public activity center, and when they saw Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong walking out from the Longxia Federation base, they all gave them admiring looks.

The couple, if they ever decided to reveal their capabilities, it would surely astonish everyone, which obviously raised peoples’ recognition of their realm.

However, Xiao Zhan paid them no mind, and headed straight outside.

This was a crowded place, not suitable for a date.

After walking a few more steps, unexpectedly, they ran into Gu Chen and Chu Mo.

Gu Chen’s injuries had healed, and even though he had been seriously injured, they were in a place with the best medical resources.

On seeing Xiao Zhan, Gu Chen, who was initially smiling, suddenly stiffened.

His expression quickly turned ugly.

"Where are you two heading?" It was Chu Mo, very friendly, who greeted Xiao Zhan warmly.

Do not strike a smiling face.

Xiao Zhan replied, "Nothing much, just going out for a walk to see the exotic scenery."

Chu Mo glanced at the four people following Xiao Zhan and knew that Qin Wanfeng had allowed this.

He didn’t say much, only reminding them, "Outside is a public area, the scenery is nice, but there are also certain dangers, don’t wander too far."

"Alright, we understand," Xiao Zhan responded.

Then, they split up.

After Xiao Zhan had left, Chu Mo turned to Gu Chen beside him, sighed, and said, "Don’t be upset. Xiao Zhan does have some real skill, and we are all part of a team; we should cooperate with each other."

"Hmph, I don’t need you to tell me."

Gu Chen snorted coldly, glanced back coldly at Xiao Zhan’s fading figure, and then quickly left the place.

On the other side.

After Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong left the base.

They headed straight toward a cliff three kilometers away.

This spot, which they had spotted on the map earlier, was the highest point nearby, offering a wide view that encompassed the vast landscape.

Releasing their perception in advance, they found no lurking demon beasts, so the duo walked leisurely toward the cliff.

They did not rush their journey, chatting casually and enjoying this personal shared moment.

Four bodyguards tactfully followed at a respectful distance, not disturbing Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, while keeping an eye on them.

After about an hour, the two arrived at the edge of the cliff.

A fresh breeze greeted them from the cliff.

The landscape in front of the cliff was beautiful with verdant mountains, blue sky, and a winding river stretching towards the horizon.

Xiao Zhan took out a sofa, placed it on the edge of the cliff, and then sat down on it.

He swung his legs over one another, pulled out some sake and delicious food.

Looking into the distance, his breaths deep and leisurely.

The vast, boundless environment where heaven and earth met made Xiao Zhan feel as though he was swimming freely through nature, unbounded, almost as though mankind and nature fused together.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed life like this," Xiao Zhan reflected in his thoughts.

Such leisurely enjoyment of the scenery seemed to have been absent since his arrival in this world.

Ye Youlong leaned close to Xiao Zhan, resting her head lightly against his shoulder, her gaze distant.

She was unusually relaxed.

However, within her seemingly relaxed eyes, a trace of worry still lingered, unable to dissipate.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Zhan, connected heart to heart with his wife, knew without looking that Ye Youlong was feeling down.

Ye Youlong said, "Do you think a relationship is more regrettable after having it and losing it, or never having it at all?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt a stir in his heart, knowing that Ye Youlong was again troubled by the concerns about the side effects of the Death Aura.

Although she tried to appear calm, she couldn’t get over that hurdle in her heart.

Xiao Zhan seriously pondered her question.

Before his transmigration, he had often come across this question on a short video app.

There were many answers.

Xiao Zhan felt that all were correct.

Because the answers in the comments reflected their own past experiences.

The regrets they had experienced, whatever the answer, were correct for them.

But their correctness did not represent anyone else’s.

"What do you think?" Xiao Zhan redirected the question to Ye Youlong.

He knew that what Ye Youlong sought with this question was not an answer, but a release of emotions.

"I don’t know."

Ye Youlong shook her head.

After a few seconds, she continued, "If I had never had you, I wouldn’t have memories involving you, so presumably, I wouldn’t have regrets. But just the thought of having no connection with you at all gives me a strange sense of panic and breathlessness."
