My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 10
An Chengxi frowned as she looked at the water-colored ripples of light coiling around her arms. Right now, she was wearing only a thin sleeping robe.
Her bare feet stepped on the floor.
Beneath her, the formation was operating in circles, binding her in place so tightly that she could not move away at all.
“A spirit-beast contract formation…”
But after looking carefully a few more times, An Chengxi immediately recognized what the formation beneath her feet was used for. Her eyes shifted, and a pair of golden beast pupils surveyed the furnishings inside the room.
The familiar decorations. The cup of Qiongxian Jade Brew she had drunk that morning still sat on the table. There was no need to say more. This place was clearly Xu Zhiyi’s bedroom.
“Could it be that the formation she drew summoned me here?”
After a long silence, An Chengxi had no choice but to face this undeniable fact.
What exactly was different about this formation?
Most of it was no different from the spirit-beast contract formation taught within the sect. However, in a few places, although they looked similar, there were differences.
It was likely that Xu Zhiyi had been careless while copying it and made mistakes in several steps, causing the formation’s effect to become entirely different from before.
An Chengxi tried and discovered that she actually could not break free from the formation. Her wrists were restrained until faint red marks appeared, but she still remained frozen in place and unable to move.
She could not even raise her hand to fix her slipping clothes.
It would be a lie to say she was not annoyed.
An Chengxi’s face flushed red, from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears.
When had she ever been treated like this?
She had originally lit sandalwood incense and planned to go to bed, but unexpectedly, her body was suddenly wrapped in a burst of white light. Before she could even react, she was transported here in the blink of an eye.
A broken, humming tune drifted over.
“Wash, wash, wash~ wash, wash, wash~ wash, wash, wash~ lu la la, lu la la~”
Xu Zhiyi had just returned to her bedroom when she saw a cold beauty standing inside, barely covered by her clothes.
And beneath her feet was a formation flowing with radiant light.
Xu Zhiyi’s steps paused. The hand that had pushed open the door quietly pulled back, and she shut the door again.
No, something was wrong. She must have opened the door the wrong way.
How could the spirit-beast contract formation she had drawn possibly have summoned Master here? Besides, before she went to bathe, she had carefully checked it.
She had repeatedly confirmed that the formation had truly disappeared.
She closed her eyes.
Then she pushed open the bedroom door again. In her heart, Xu Zhiyi thought, no, what she saw just now must have been an illusion.
It couldn’t be that just because she knew Master was a dragon, she had started having this kind of spring-and-autumn dream, right? That was truly not respecting the old or loving the young at all!
With a soft creak—
Xu Zhiyi poked her head in again. The scene from earlier once again appeared before her eyes.
Ink-black hair fell over white robes. An Chengxi turned back to look at her. Their eyes met. Because of her earlier struggle, a large expanse of her fair back had been exposed.
“Master… Master…”
Xu Zhiyi quickly closed the door. If anyone saw this, it would be disastrous.
“Do you know how to undo it?”
An Chengxi had originally still felt somewhat uncomfortable, but when she saw that Xu Zhiyi seemed even more embarrassed than she was, she calmed down. As a teacher, she ought to set an example.
“I do… I’ll try!”
Keeping her eyes fixed straight ahead and her mind steady, Xu Zhiyi began forming seals with both hands, intending to say nothing about this matter.
If Master found out that she already knew her true identity as a dragon, then Xu Zhiyi imagined she would probably end up just like the plot in the original novel.
She would immediately be sold off!
Xu Zhiyi had carefully read both the method to form and undo formations. After all, if she summoned something huge, this was a matter of life and death.
In the end, there were no snakes, insects, ants, beasts, or big tigers like she had imagined. Instead, she had summoned Master.
Her finger pointed at the formation on the ground.
It did not move in the slightest.
A trace of awkwardness floated between them.
“Wait… Master, maybe it’s because I just came out of the bath and my body is a little weak, so I didn’t use my full strength!”
However, half an hour passed.
The formation still did not change at all. An Chengxi sighed. Her hand gesture shifted, and the formation immediately changed. Light flowed over it.
At first, there seemed to be signs of loosening.
But for some unknown reason, it began spinning even more violently. The water-like patterns became even more tangled. The white robe over An Chengxi’s arm was twisted into folds by the water patterns.
“Master, are you all right…”
Xu Zhiyi looked anxious, but for a novice who had only just transmigrated into the book, she was completely clueless.
“Did you… set up this formation incorrectly?”
“Master has told you so many times. You may doze off in class, but when it comes to matters of life and death like this, you cannot be careless.”
“If the one who stepped into this formation today had not been Master, but some other dangerous spirit beast or… cultivator, what would you have done?”
Her words were earnest and heavy.
Xu Zhiyi was scolded into silence, not daring to make a sound. After all, with Master looking like this right now, even one extra glance felt like blasphemy.
Her fair skin was being bound tighter and tighter.
Do not look at what is improper. Do not look at what is improper.
Warning herself like this in her heart, Xu Zhiyi was still a little worried. She secretly glanced toward An Chengxi. Master must be in a lot of pain from being tied up like that.
“Stretch out your hand and bite open your fingertip.”
She heard Master give the command.
Xu Zhiyi froze for a second. Then surprise rose in her heart. A drop of heart’s blood was the most important step in completing a spirit-beast contract. From then on, the two parties would establish a deep contractual relationship.
And it also carried a very strong master-servant concept.
This… this, this, this did not seem good, right? Wasn’t this completely messing up their seniority?
“Master, but if we do this… won’t we form a contract? Master… will become this disciple’s spirit beast?”
The more she said it, the more chaotic it sounded.
“You need not take it to heart. This is only an accident. Afterward, Master will find a way to undo this contract.”
“It is only that your matter of finding a contracted spirit beast will have to be postponed.”
Seeing Master’s calm expression, Xu Zhiyi felt that Master made sense. Right now, this was the only temporary solution. It was not as though she could… keep Master trapped in her room forever.
“Understood. Then this disciple will be disrespectful.”
She stretched out her finger. Her teeth lightly bit down, and a faint sting came. Bright red blood gathered from the small wound, forming a bead of blood.
Xu Zhiyi reached out and touched An Chengxi’s forehead. Her black hair stirred slightly, and a red mark appeared there, adding an indescribable beauty to her appearance.
Her fingertip was warm.
The moment her finger pressed down, the formation vanished. An Chengxi, who had been bound, was finally freed, and only then did she have time to tidy her clothes with her hands.
A cool sensation slid over the wound.
The bite mark she had just made healed instantly. There was no need to think; it must have been Master’s doing.
“You should rest.”
After glancing at Xu Zhiyi, An Chengxi walked to the door, then stopped again.
“Oh, right. Although wine tastes good, do not be greedy for too many cups.”
This already counted as a gentle warning. Xu Zhiyi nodded. She clearly had not drunk any, so why did she feel as though she had been caught red-handed?
The one who had drunk earlier was clearly you, Master!
