I Was Contracted By The Empress As An S Rank Familiar - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Standard Magic Staff

When Shirley used her skill to draw Pan Liang’s sword, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly. The people in the Blessing Temple had no choice but to stay away from the direction.

Pan Liang could naturally feel the temperature on Shirley’s body, but it did not matter to him at all.

He was now a little confused. “The heat wave automatically bypassed me just now. Why wouldn’t it do the same now?”

Actually, the heat wave bypassed him just now due to the effect of the contract. The skill that Shirley released unconsciously was controlled by the contract, so the heat wave automatically bypassed the familiar.

Now that Shirley was controlling it herself, her ability to control was much worse than automatic control.

“Fine. If you can’t pull it out, just don’t do it. Otherwise, the Blessing Temple will be on fire later.. Look at the people around you. They’re going to chase you out.”

Shirley put down the sword in her hand awkwardly. “What’s wrong with your sword? Why can you pull it out so easily yet I can’t?”

“Of course. This sword will recognize its owner. I’m its owner. You’re trying to pull out this sword when you’ve never even used a weapon. You must be joking.”

If it had not been for Pan Liang’s aura of the Immortal Sword, he would not have been able to pull out the sword despite being its owner.

If he obtained the approval of the sword spirit, he would be able to pull out his sword even if he was weak.

After Shirley gave up, Pan Liang was glad to receive Grievance Points from her.

“This skill of mine has also awakened. Let’s go out of the city first. I have a feeling that something is not right here.”

Pan Liang was surprised that the little girl could sense danger. He was glad about it.

When they came in, the murderous aura in the vicinity was already close to them, yet the little girl did not feel anything. Surprisingly, she could feel that something was not right at this moment. This was such a great improvement.

“You’re right. There’s something weird about this city. We’d better leave first.”

This time, Pan Liang did not let Shirley carry him on her back. Instead, he followed behind her.

According to the information provided by the system, the people in the vicinity were around Level 20. Nevertheless, no one knew if any of them had special skills. As such, it was better to be careful.

As soon as Pan Liang left the door of the Blessing Temple, he noticed that there were people surrounding the two of them. Seemingly, these people did not want to make a move yet.

After checking their levels, Pan Liang was relieved as the highest level of these people was no more than 25. As long as they did not have any special skills, he would let Shirley deal with them alone. All he would do was secretly offer her some help.

“Shirley, let’s go out of the city. I’ll show you something good when we get out of the city.”

Upon hearing that, Shirley was excited. “Sure. Is it delicious?”

“Don’t worry about that. You’ll know when we get out of the city.”

For the first time, Pan Liang did not lie down when he got into the carriage. He pulled out his sword and slowly wiped it.

The sword kept trembling as if it had sensed his mood at this moment.

Pan Liang glanced at the people around him who were constantly contributing Grievance Points to him. “Sigh. They’re such a great tool for me to get Grievance Points. I don’t know if I should kill or keep them.

“Forget it. I shall stop dwelling on this matter. Just kill them first. I shall talk about the rest once we’re out of the city.”

Pan Liang’s eyes swept over those people, causing them to shiver collectively. It appeared as if they had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.

“What’s with that person’s gaze just now? Obviously, he didn’t mean to kill anyone, but his gaze was so scary.”

“Brother, did you feel it just now?”

He then saw that his brother beside him was shivering non-stop. There was also water dripping down from the bottom of his pants.

“Damn, brother. Was it that scary? It was just a gaze, wasn’t it? Every day, you say that your level is higher than mine, yet you’re behaving like this?”

In fact, it was precisely because his brother’s level was higher than Pan Liang that he could feel the murderous intent in Pan Liang’s eyes. That was the most terrifying murderous intent he had ever seen. That kind of murderous intent pierced straight into his heart, and there was no way to avoid it.

After wiping his sword for a while, Pan Liang put it away. “Since I’ve already decided to let Shirley wipe the sword, why am I still wiping it? I should go to sleep.”

As much as he wanted to sleep, he could not fall asleep.

When they arrived in the forest outside the city, Shirley could not wait to stop the carriage. He wanted to see what Pan Liang could bring for her.

The seasoning and beer that he brought out earlier had already captivated her. Because of that, she did not even have the appetite for what she used to think was a feast.

“Pan Liang, where’s the treasure that you said you wanted to show me? Show it to me.”

Pan Liang smiled and said, “Why are you so desperate? Some people are still not here yet.”

“There are still people not here yet? Where are they? Why don’t I see them?”

Then, Shirley heard applause coming from nearby. “Sure enough, you’re an SSS-rank familiar. Although your level is average, you’re as alert as a first-rate expert.”

Pan Liang waved his hand and said, “Actually, this is nothing to you guys. By the way, are you interested in learning more about the item that Shirley mentioned just now?”

At this moment, Shirley was already on guard. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that these people were definitely up to no good.

“Of course, I’m interested in the treasure brought up by an SSS-rank familiar like you. I wonder if you’re willing to let us take a look at it.”

“Shirley, come here.” Pan Liang waved his hand at Shirley. “Here’s something for you.”

Shirley walked to the back of the carriage and looked at Pan Liang who was there.

“Stop joking around. You’d better think about how to deal with these people.”

“Why are you rushing? When you get my treasure, you’ll know that these people are just buffoons.”

“What are buffoons?” Shirley had never heard of this term before, so she was bewildered at that moment.

“How would I know? Figure it out yourself,” Pan Liang said with disappointment, “Just tell me if you want my treasure or not.”

Shirley made up her mind. “I want it. Anyway, I’m surrounded by these people. I’ll just take it.”

“Okay, but let me tell you in advance that it’s not free for you to use. When the time comes, you have to pay according to the market price.”

“It turns out that you’ve been eying the money I’ve just earned, you terrible man.”

Pan Liang smiled disdainfully and said, “With that little money of yours, I won’t even take it to heart. Once I take out this treasure of mine, you definitely won’t be able to put it down. You have to consider it carefully.”

“Alright, I want it. All I need to do is pay, right? I’m still a contract owner now. It’s not as if I won’t be able to earn money in the future.”

As Pan Liang waved his hand, he said, “Please take a look at this standard magic staff.”
