Chapter 407: Chapter 406: You Find This Disgusting?

A uniquely foul stench from the teeth assaulted her senses, so overpowering that Luo Zhi immediately threw them away.

She gagged and called for someone to help her wash her hands. She scrubbed until her skin was nearly raw, yet it felt as if a sticky residue still lingered on them!

“Xiao Cheng, you are disgusting!” Luo Zhi said hatefully, on the verge of throwing up last night’s meal.

Xiao Cheng shrugged. “Oh, you find *this* disgusting? He is your Beast Husband, after all. Have you two never kissed?”

Luo Zhi had just started to recover when his words made her pause. The thought of it… Forget He Heng, she couldn’t even bear the intimacy shared between partners with any of her other Beast Husbands.

At that, a large group of females bent over and vomited.

The males all glared at him in unison. ’How could this fox attack so indiscriminately?’

Even Si Shuo was disgusted by Xiao Cheng. ’Thank goodness I use Dust Cleaning Talismans,’ she mused. They kept her entire body clean and fresh, right down to her teeth. Otherwise, she might have thrown Xiao Cheng out herself.

Once the crowd had settled down a bit, Xiao Cheng sneered at Luo Zhi. “I won. Where’s the Contract Spirit? But I’ve never witnessed the power of a Contract Spirit, so I must verify its authenticity. Let’s see…” He extended a finger, sweeping it over the males standing behind Luo Zhi. The gesture scared the usually arrogant males into a cold sweat.

Finally, his finger landed on He Heng. With a curl of his lips, he said, “Him. I already pulled out his teeth, so it’s not like you have any use for him. A male like this, who only brings you disgrace and can’t even defeat me—you’re better off without him!”

Luo Zhi was always the one forcing others’ hands; she had never been ordered around like this. Her eyes, fixed on Xiao Cheng, seemed ready to spew flames of fury.

“Oh? So the great future Witch Doctor, Lady Luo Zhi, is a sore loser, huh? Tsk, tsk. If you lack this much grace, how do you expect to lead our Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan?”

“The way I see it, we might as well call off the next bet between you and my female. After all, even if we win, you’ll just renege on it anyway!” Xiao Cheng tsked, shaking his head with a laugh. His mocking expression was just so punchable.

Luo Zhi sneered. “Who says I can’t afford to lose? Fine. I’ll show you just how powerful a Contract Spirit is.”

As she spoke, she looked toward He Heng and said with feigned helplessness, “He Heng, I’m sorry to put you through this. But rest assured, even after we dissolve the contract, you will still be my Beast Husband.

“I will gather more fine things to help you recuperate, and I’ll do my best to get you back to your original level quickly.”

He Heng closed his eyes and said flatly, “Luo Zhi, remember what you said. Let’s begin.”

The crowd sighed in astonishment. They never thought a member of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan could be so powerful, managing to pull the teeth of a Peak Level 12 Hippo Beastman to win the match.

What they expected even less was to see the day the high and mighty Luo Zhi would suffer such a humiliating setback.

The crowd held their breath, watching with rapt attention.

“My feelings for my Beast Husband, He Heng, have reached their end. There is no possibility for us to spend the rest of our lives together. I hereby ask the Beast God to bear witness as I dissolve the contract between myself and He Heng…” Luo Zhi chanted, shaking a bell. Its crisp chime seemed to carry a sacred tone that cleared everyone’s Divine Sense. He Heng, however, began to tremble violently. His face went deathly pale from the pain, and he collapsed to the ground without a sound, sweat pouring from him in streams.

The sight of him was so frightening that the onlookers’ faces paled as well.

Luo Zhi glanced at Xiao Cheng and said coolly, “He Heng looks like he’s in a bad way, but it’s really just the Beast God severing the spiritual link between him and me. His strength will temporarily drop to about seventy or eighty percent of what it was.

“This is much better than a simple contract dissolution. At least it has no effect on the female, and the impact on the male isn’t too great either.”

Xiao Cheng smiled. He waited until He Heng was gasping for air, having endured the contract’s dissolution, before reaching out to take the Contract Spirit and toss it into Si Shuo’s arms. He then turned and helped He Heng up.

“See? Some people’s hearts are colder and harder than stone—impossible to warm. Now that you’ve left her, have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to live?

“Tsk, tsk. I don’t even know what kind of grudge she holds against me, to force you to self-destruct in an attempt to kill me.

“All because I said a few things she didn’t like to hear, yet she was ready to make you sacrifice your life to vent her anger…”

He Heng nodded. He used to see her as perfect, but now he saw right through her. With the contract dissolved, they had nothing to do with each other anymore. Now, just hearing her speak made him feel sick to his stomach.

He looked coldly at Luo Zhi. “You’re the one who didn’t want me. From now on, our lives are our own to live. Don’t forget the supplements you promised me. Send them to the Qingxi Tribe.

“Otherwise, I won’t mind bringing my kinsmen to come and demand them from you!”

Luo Zhi froze for a moment, then rubbed her ears, thinking she must have misheard. ’What did He Heng just say?’

“He Heng, you must have misheard, right? I never said I didn’t want you. Don’t let Xiao Cheng trick you. He can’t stand to see us happy together! If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have dissolved the contract with you!”

The corner of He Heng’s mouth twitched. The wave of pain hadn’t yet passed. He said in a breathy voice, “The contract is dissolved. There are no reasons. There are no bonds between us anymore. You owe me those supplements.”

After speaking, he struggled to turn away. A Beastman on good terms with him immediately came over to help him leave.

Luo Zhi was so furious she could have ground her teeth to dust. ’Just a moment ago, He Heng was telling me how to get the Contract Spirit back and kill Xiao Cheng in the process. Was he just tricking me this whole time?’

Only then did Xiao Cheng smile and walk over to Si Shuo, lifting his chin slightly. “Sister, see? Aren’t I amazing?”

Si Shuo nodded. ’A rebound superpower is ridiculously strong, yet he can use it without anyone knowing.’ He had intentionally revealed an opening to He Heng, baiting him into attacking his teeth, while casually tossing two golden threads into He Heng’s mouth as a feint. You could say He Heng knocked out his own teeth, but he was horrified, thinking Xiao Cheng had exploited an opening.

’This fox is certainly cunning!’ Still, she turned her head away from him. “Don’t come within arm’s reach of me for the rest of the day. Otherwise, I’ll be reminded of those… pungent… things you said!”

Xiao Cheng’s cheerfully wagging tail paused, and his entire demeanor drooped. “Sister, they’re the unhygienic ones, not me. I smell wonderful.”

If Zhi Zhan weren’t watching him with a cold eye, he would have pounced on Si Shuo to nuzzle against her.

Luo Zhi couldn’t stand seeing Si Shuo and Xiao Cheng joking around. She took out another Contract Spirit, but before she could speak, Si Shuo said with a smile, “Female Saint Luo Zhi, I’m so sorry. My greatest virtue is being easily content and not at all greedy. We already have one Contract Spirit, so we don’t need to continue the bet with you.

“If both of your Contract Spirits end up belonging to us, I’m afraid the shock might drive you insane.”

Luo Zhi clutched the Contract Spirit tightly, her voice cold. “We already agreed. You win the first round and now you want to back out of the second? There’s no such rule anywhere!”

Si Shuo gave a light laugh. “Rules are set by the strong for the weak. And we’ve decided not to continue. Surely you don’t think those males of yours can stop us?”

As she spoke, she gently patted Zhi Zhan’s shoulder. “I’m tired after walking around all day. Shall we go back?”

Zhi Zhan and Xiao Cheng turned to leave, but Luo Zhi’s males blocked their path…
