Chapter 89
Signing the Contract
Seeing that Undine agreed to become his familiar so easily, Hyuga Gen seemed a little caught off guard. Could it be that I am really the chosen one?
Afterwards, Hyuga Gen consulted his butler about the ceremony for signing the contract.
After a simple setup, a magic circle radiating a deep green light appeared at Undine's feet, and Undine stood quietly on it, showing no intention of dodging or resisting.
Seeing that the setup was almost complete, Hyuga Gen solemnly chanted in a low voice to Undine, who was standing in the center of the magic circle:
"In the name of Hyuga Gen, I command you, Undine, to respond to this contract as my familiar."
As she finished speaking, Undine closed her eyes and lowered her head. At the same time, a strong green light burst forth from her body, which flickered for a moment before disappearing.
Seeing this, Zha Touji nodded in satisfaction.
"That's it. You've got some skills, Hyuga-sama. You've only just learned the contract array and you can already use it so proficiently. Anyone else would have to try several more times."
Hyuga Gen smiled. Could he call himself a genius? Keep it low-key, keep it low-key.
The butler then said to Hyuga Gen with a smile:
"Congratulations, young master, you have gained a good companion. You can now calm down and feel the connection between you and Miss Undine."
Hinata Gen nodded after hearing this. At this moment, he could already feel an invisible connection between himself and Undine, and he could summon her to help him fight at any time.
However, one thing is that although I can command her, I cannot make her do things she doesn't want to do.
Zha Touji, who was standing to the side, also explained:
"Young Master Hyuga, you must treat Undine well. The contract you two signed is an equal contract, not the kind of master-servant contract that allows you to control life and death. If you hurt her, she will leave you."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Gen immediately assured him:
"Don't worry, Mr. Zha Touji, I will treat Sister Undine well."
Undine simply smiled gently and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that half of tonight's mission was already completed so quickly, Zha Touji was in high spirits. He then turned to Akiyama Rinko, who was holding a katana, and said:
"Alright, now that Young Master Hyuga has made his choice so quickly, we'll have plenty of time to help Miss Akiyama choose. So, Miss Akiyama, what kind of familiar would you like?"
After hearing this, Rinko Akiyama immediately fell into deep thought, and then replied:
"If possible, I would like a familiar that can complement my spatial abilities; if not, a familiar that increases my attack power will also be acceptable."
Zha Touji almost tripped and fell over after hearing this. How dare you think of a space-type? There are only a handful of these with this attribute in thousands of years, and even if there are, they are all monopolized by that family.
However, to save face, Zha Touji naturally wouldn't say it aloud, and instead said loudly:
"No problem, it's just a space-type familiar, no big deal. Come with me."
The butler could tell from the expression on Zha Touji's face that his old friend had lied again for the sake of so-called face, but he had no intention of exposing him. He let the old man brag, and in the end, he would have to explain himself when he couldn't find the truth.
"Good, good, very good. Zha Touji, you actually let someone else sign the familiar that I had my eye on. No wonder I couldn't get a date with you tonight. You said you had a date with the Xidi family, but these guys don't look like they belong to the Xidi family at all."
Just then, the people present suddenly felt an extreme heat. Lina, who was weaker, immediately felt as if her whole body was burning up and looked extremely uncomfortable.
Hyuga Gen, however, felt nothing at all; instead, he felt a refreshing coolness. He then smiled at Undine, who was protecting him with magic beside him:
"Thank you, Undine."
"Who goes there! Show yourself right now if you're hiding like that!"
Rinko Akiyama immediately shielded Gen Hyuga behind her, while pointing her katana at the source of the sound.
The next moment, an arrogant blond devil in a burgundy suit suddenly appeared there, followed by 14 beautiful women of all kinds, a dazzling sight.
"Zha Touji, don't you want to explain yourself?"
Zha Touji's face had already darkened completely when the incident occurred, and it became even more unpleasant after hearing the blond man's impolite words.
"Isn't this Young Master Rasa? I don't think I need you to tell me what to do."
Upon hearing Zatoki's words, Leisa revealed a sinister smile.
"Hmph, I should have told you beforehand that I wanted this water spirit, and you actually dared to give it to someone else? Did you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you, you old bastard?"
Zha Touji showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he took out several small balls and tossed them around in his hand.
"You're just a junior member of the Phoenix family. Even your grandfather never spoke to me like that. Who do you think you are?"
Just when Genri thought a fight was about to break out, Raisa deliberately withdrew his aura, causing the surrounding temperature to drop instantly. Then he smiled and said:
"Haha, just kidding. Aren't you going to introduce me to this intermediate-level hybrid demon who signed the cute water sprite?"
"This joke isn't funny at all."
Seeing that Leisa had no intention of fighting, Zatouji also put away the small ball on his body and made no attempt to explain it to him.
"And you say you're not a Pokémon Trainer? This little ball looks exactly like a Poké Ball!"
At the same time, seeing that Hyuga Gen was somewhat puzzled, the butler immediately explained the identity of the blond man to him.
Leisa Phoenix is the third son of the Phoenix family, a pure-blooded high-ranking demon in the Demon Realm.
Each member of the Nix family possesses the characteristics of a phoenix and the ability to be reborn from the ashes. Their blood and tears have the effects of immortality and healing, respectively, making them formidable opponents.
Leisa had very keen ears, and after hearing the butler's introduction of her, an interested look appeared on her face.
"You old man, you know quite a bit. Which family are you from? State your name."
The steward, however, ignored him and instead spoke to Zha Touji:
"Old man, it seems your reputation isn't working well among the younger generation. Even such a young demon doesn't take you seriously. You're really getting worse with age."
Zha Touji rolled his eyes after hearing this.
"You're no different. People don't even recognize you anymore, you're doing worse than me."
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
Leisa felt ashamed and annoyed when he saw that the butler not only ignored him but also made mocking noises with Zhatouji.
Just as they were about to speak, they felt two extremely powerful auras suddenly erupt from the two of them, plunging the entire Familiar Forest into darkness and completely obscuring the blood-red moon.
Leiza's 14 followers were immediately knocked unconscious by the two powerful auras, while Leiza himself stood there dumbfounded, his lips twitching slightly, his face full of disbelief.
"How is that possible? It's one thing for that unfamiliar old man, but why does Zha Touji have such a powerful aura? Isn't he just an old guy who fights using familiars?"
