"Eh?" Winila was stunned, "But, but...it was Master Xia Ye who told me at that time that I would definitely not die..."
"Oh, that's what I said casually." Xia Ye said.
"Huh……"
Seeing the expression on the girl's face that she was about to cry, Xia Ye finally stopped teasing her and said with a smile: "But it's great that you can survive. It seems that I did a good thing unintentionally."
When she said this, Venila couldn't bear it even more, and tears suddenly rolled out of her reddish eyes.
"Thanks to what Mr. Xia Ye said to me at that time, I can become different from before, and I can survive hard and see Mr. Xia Ye again..."
"I remember I didn't tell you my name at that time, right?" Xia Ye thought about it and said.
"Yeah, but some time ago, there was information about Lady Xia Ye everywhere on the Moer Internet. At that time, I was thinking, it turns out that I was saved by such a powerful person. It would be great if I could see her again, even just once. , I didn’t expect it to come true, it was just like a dream..."
"Um, Sister Xia Ye..." Lilian, who had been silent since Venila appeared, finally asked, "Who is it?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it to you. She was accidentally rescued when Luka and I went to the pet market. At that time, she was almost killed by the collar..." Xia Ye briefly explained the whole story.
"So that's it. It seems that although Sister Xia Ye didn't buy a pet at that time, she saved a beautiful little pet."
Whether it was an illusion or not, Xia Ye always felt that Lilian's words sounded strange. Before she could think about it carefully, Lilian had already looked at Venila.
I have to say that Venila is indeed very beautiful, and she is worthy of being chosen as a pet in Uptown.
"Hello, Miss Venila, my name is Lillian." Lillian greeted with a smile, "I am a friend of Sister Xia Ye, and I currently live with Sister Xia Ye."
friend?
Venila blinked her tear-filled eyes, and her gaze slowly moved from Lilian's face, which was as beautiful as hers, to her slender, white neck - only then did she notice that there was no collar there.
The silver-haired girl immediately bowed politely: "Hello, Lady Lilian, I'm very sorry. I almost mistook you for Lady Xia Ye's pet just now."
"Hey, pet, pet..." Lilian blushed inexplicably and shook her head quickly, "No, I'm not sister Xia Ye's pet."
"Yeah, so that's great."
"Huh?"
"Because my dream is to one day become Lord Xia Ye's exclusive pet. Originally, I was worried that if Lord Xia Ye had a pet as beautiful as Lady Lilian, she would no longer need pets... I didn't expect that I misunderstood. It seems that I will still have a chance to realize my dream in the future." Venila said a little shyly, but very firmly.
The air suddenly became quiet, and even the noisy surroundings seemed much muffled.
A certain microsecond atmosphere fell between the three of them. It was like ether, invisible and intangible, but it really existed. Moreover, if it was accidentally ignited, a huge and tragic explosion would occur. .
At this delicate moment, the sight stuck to Xia Ye became intense. It made no secret of its presence, and squeezed in between the three of them like an entity.
At this time, even Lilian and Venila were aware of its existence and couldn't help but look towards its source - of course they saw nothing.
Xia Ye coughed lightly, drawing the two girls' attention back to herself.
"Venila, I suggest you change your dream."
"Eh... why, Lord Xia Ye?"
"Because I like useful people, and pets are of no use to me." She deliberately said it very bluntly.
But after hearing these words, the silver-haired girl not only did not feel disappointed, but instead nodded happily.
"I know, Sir Xia Ye, so Venila has been working hard. Although she is not qualified now, she will definitely become an exclusive pet useful to Sir Xia Ye in the future."
Looking at the girl's serious expression, Xia Ye tilted her head in confusion: "What you said is useful...is it the same thing as what I said?"
Venila didn't answer, she just stretched her hands behind her and pulled away the belt tied around her lower waist with a whoosh. Then, she took off her high-necked long-sleeved dress and pure white pantyhose one by one.
Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered that for a witch, she wouldn't feel shy about such a thing at all. Even Lilian had no intention of stopping him at all, but looked at the other party curiously.
In the blink of an eye, the girl's body was displayed in front of Xia Ye without any covering.
"ah……"
Xia Ye and Lilian couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices.
Contrary to imagination, there is no fair and smooth skin. There are only two things on the girl’s delicate body——
One is various scars that have healed, are healing, or have just occurred;
The second is various contract marks that have never been seen before. There are dozens of them, scattered in various parts of the body.
"This is..." Xia Ye asked in surprise.
"Sir Xia Ye, in order to realize her dream, Venila is also working very hard to live." The girl said with a smile. That smile was so beautiful that it seemed to be shining. In an instant, even the ugly scars on his body were covered by the light.
"..."
"I work as a 'test assistant' for a great witch."
Venila continued to explain: "The main job is to test various newly developed contracts for her. Many pets in the same batch with me died, but fortunately I survived. According to the big witch, mine belongs to With a 'compatible' physique, the adaptability to any contract will not be too bad, making it a very good test subject.
"So...hehe, she still values me quite a lot now and says she won't let me die easily. Moreover, the big witch has agreed that as long as I help her test 500 contracts, I can change my master. In addition to the contract on my body, A few must be eliminated, and I can keep as much of the rest as I want.”
"At that time, I must keep all the powerful contracts with me. In that case, I should be considered a 'useful' pet, right? Sir Xia Ye?"
"..."
Xia Ye took a serious look at Venila for the first time. Looking at the scarred body, she couldn't imagine for a moment how the girl who was frightened by a few words and ran away before boarding the ship became so strong.
After a while, she slowly spoke: "You are indeed a 'useful' person...but only if you can survive until the test is settled."
"I will definitely survive until that day!" the girl said, clenching her fists.
"But that's not something you can decide..." Xia Ye shook his head gently, "Why don't you tell me the name of the great witch, and I will negotiate with her and buy you now. In this way, your dream will also count. Achieved."
Unexpectedly, Venila shook her head: "Thank you, Sir Xia Ye, but... no need."
"Why?"
"You just said that you want 'useful' people," she said, "not useless pets that are picked up because of pity."
"……I see."
Xia Ye respected her choice.
——At the same time, he began to think about how to ensure that the girl in front of him could survive.
contract? The only contracts she didn't sign were "Mirror" and "Witch's Flame", which were of no use to Venera.
Negotiating with her master? It might be useful, but it doesn't guarantee Venila's safety.
…
Suddenly she thought of a solution worth trying.
She turned around, raised her head, looked at the source of her sight, and said:
"Dear Great Witch, although I don't know who you are, but since you have been looking at me, maybe it means that I have some special meaning to you. In this case, I want to make a deal with you——"
She pointed to Venera beside her.
"I want to reserve this pet, a live pet, and you guarantee that it will not die before it is sold to me; in return, I can grant you any reasonable request.
"If you accept this deal, please respond to me now."
