Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks-Chapter 2966: You’re a Peacock, so You Can Fly, Right?

While the male lead remained unconscious, Ning Shu’s task was to protect Yu Liuli and, by extension, the wisp of the male lead. Protecting the two of them meant protecting herself.

Ning Shu felt utterly drained.

Yu Liuli didn’t end up getting any treasures and instead had her sea of consciousness invaded by a remnant soul. Her face was grim as she walked away.

Once she returned, she had to find a way to expel the remnant soul from her mind.

It felt like a stranger had barged into her house and taken over.

After exiting the cave, Yu Liuli said to Ning Shu, “You’re a peacock, so you can fly, right? I want to go back now.”

Ning Shu, in a foul mood, replied bluntly, “Don’t you have legs? Walk yourself.”

Yu Liuli’s expression darkened, her face serious. “Kong Lin, don’t push your luck. You may be a divine beast, but in my eyes, you’re worthless. Don’t think you’re so pitiful.”

Ning Shu retorted, “Since I’m worthless, why don’t you just break the contract?”

Yu Liuli let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

Yu Liuli felt she was the unluckiest transmigrator.

Her contract beast was disobedient, and her mind had been invaded by a remnant soul. She was utterly fed up.

She had hoped to ride a radiant, powerful divine beast home and show those who bullied the original host—and her—what was up.

As a proud secret agent, she wasn’t about to let anyone bully her again.

Yu Liuli walked ahead while Ning Shu resignedly followed behind her.

Yu Liuli suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Ning Shu. “Since you’re so reluctant to follow me, you don’t have to. Just leave.”

“Then break the contract, and I’ll leave right away,” Ning Shu said, spreading her hands.

Yu Liuli was baffled. “As my contract beast, can’t you show a bit of loyalty? At least act like you have some responsibility as a contract beast!”

“I was forced into this contract. I never wanted to be a contract beast. You coerced me into it and now demand so much,” Ning Shu said as she adjusted her dark green sleeves.

Yu Liuli angrily replied, “At the time, if I hadn’t contracted you, I would have died. I did it to protect myself. The strong prevail over the weak. Blame your own bad luck.”

“I know divine beasts are proud, but I still won’t break the contract because I’m afraid you’ll kill me.”

The contract was currently Yu Liuli’s lifeline.

First, it provided her with a powerful ally to protect her.

Second, it ensured the peacock wouldn’t turn on her and kill her.

While Yu Liuli was confident, she knew she wasn’t strong enough to face a divine beast head-on.

Yu Liuli felt she had been too lenient with the peacock. That was why this contract beast was so defiant.

Otherwise, with her past temper, she would have already taught this arrogant peacock a lesson.

Yu Liuli snorted coldly, and Ning Shu immediately felt like her head was about to explode. Her soul trembled violently.

Ning Shu crouched down, clutching her head, veins bulging on her forehead.

Her soul was being torn apart and pieced back together, over and over again.

Drenched in sweat, Ning Shu wished she could bash her head against something. Just as she had the thought of risking it all and fighting Yu Liuli, a powerful force threatened to crush her soul. řåƝȯΒĘS

It was the power of the contract’s laws.

Ning Shu suppressed the thought. A contract beast couldn’t harm its master. If it did, it would be obliterated.

The pain turned Ning Shu’s eyes bloodshot. She hadn’t experienced such excruciating pain in a long time.

For a moment, Ning Shu even wanted to give up on life. Let the task fail—it didn’t matter anymore.

However, she was unwilling to fail just like this, because failure would mean doing six consecutive chain tasks.

And the ordinance space—without entering the ordinance space, there was no way to comprehend the ordinances.

If she couldn’t comprehend the ordinances, she would forever remain a task-taker who could only throw punches, relying on brute force with little effect.
