Sima You Yue was rather surprised when she saw Old and the others leading Su Li up . Although she did Duess that she would come up, she didn’t expect her to decide so quickly .

It seemed that Su Li cared for the child a lot more than she expected .
Third Aunt Du saw that Su Li had come up, and walked over quickly, asking worriedly, “Su Li, how are you feeling?”
Su Li was still feeling a little weak, but she was better than before . She answered weakly, “Not bad . Was it you who saved me just now?”
“I haven’t saved you yet . I merely helped you tide through a difficult period . ” Sima You Yue said, as she patted away the grass from her butt . She walked over and pressed down lightly on her round belly . It was still rather hard, “Not bad . ”
“Thank you . ” Su Li said, gratefully . If not for her, she would never have regained consciousness, and would never have felt the heartbeat of her child ever again . “Will the contract really save me and my child?”
“The contract is able to heal your wounds, which will naturally stabilize your child . ” Sima You Yue said . “It was because your child was injured and sensed that its life was in danger that it started to absorb the spirit energy of its surroundings . Once things go back to normal, it will naturally quieten down as well . ”
“It won’t be birthed right now, right?”
“It isn’t due yet, and it wouldn’t be good for it to be delivered now . Otherwise, it will return back to how it was before . It would be better to let it continue to develop slowly in your womb . ” Sima You Yue said, “The child in your belly is a deviant, so it will be higher in rank than you all are . That’s why it will need a little longer than you reach maturity . ”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble you . You should have a beast tamer master here, right?” Su Li asked .
“We don’t lack for any beast master tamer . However, have you thought it through? There’s no turning back, there’s no room for regrets . ” Sima You Yue asked .
“For the sake of my child, losing my freedom means nothing . ” Su Li said unwaveringly .

“Because the child is in your womb, the contract will bind him as well . ” Sima You Yue pointed this out too .
Su Li did hesitate at this, but she finally said with conviction, “It’s still better than dying . However, I have a request . ”
“Say it . ”
Su Li looked at Third Aunt Du, saying, “I hope that you will be the one to form a contract with me . ”
“Me?” Third Aunt Du was surprised as she immediately shook her head, “Although I do have a Spirit Beast Life Contract, I cannot form a contract with you . Su Li, I cannot do this to you . ”
“It’s fine . I am willing to form a contract with you . ” Su Li said, “Only by forming a contract with you will I be assured . I believe that, for you, it will be the same whether or not it is a life contract . ”
Third Aunt Du saw the trust in her eyes and nodded . “Relax, I will not let you suffer as my contracted beast . We are friends and we will always be friends . ”
Sima You Yue always knew that Third Aunt Du was a good person . Who would have thought that, while her time here was short, she would have formed such a good relationship with Su Li .
“You Yue, let’s start . ” Third Aunt Du said as she turned to Wei Zi Qi, “I’ll have to trouble you . ”
“Third Aunt, it isn’t me . ” Wei Zi Qi said as he waved his hands .
“Not you? Aren’t you a beast tamer master?”

“I am, but I’m not as powerful as You Yue . If you got me to contract the Spirit Silkworm Queen, there wouldn’t be enough time . ” Wei Zi Qi said .
“You Yue’s a beast tamer master as well?”
“Yue Yue, you’re a beast tamer master? Why didn’t I know this?”
Third Aunt Du and Little Seven both turned to Sima You Yue with puzzlement as they cried out . Little Wu was so surprised that he couldn’t speak, merely staring at her dazedly .
“You never asked!” Sima You Yue shrugged as she took out a bed and got someone to place Su Li on it, “Let her lie on this . ”
Old Sun and the others moved to place Su Li on the bed . As Sima You Yue came to the bedside, she placed a hand on her forehead and summoned her inner imperial beast art, beginning the taming process .
Su Li didn’t have much time, so the taming process had to be done quickly . It was a good thing that she was not resisting her, so the process was a lot quicker .
After half a day had passed, You Yue completed the taming process .
“Third Aunt, you may contract with her . ” Sima You Yue retreated to the side and Third Aunt Du stepped forward, placing a hand on her forehead .
The contracting light quickly shrouded both of them . Once the light scattered, the contract between the both of them had succeeded .
“Queen’s aura has stabilised!” The spirit silkworms cheered on the shore .

Su Li could feel the connection to Third Aunt Du from within her, and sensed the condition of her child before she managed to relax . However, before she spoke, the light of their rank advancement shrouded them .
It had been a long time since Third Aunt Du had advanced in rank . Who would have thought that the contract this time would have pushed her through her dead end .
Su Li was the same . Now, not only was her condition stable, she had even advanced by a rank . She could feel that it was as if her child had absorbed quite a bit of power as it grew a little bigger .
Once the rays had faded, the spirit silkworms were going crazy . It had been a few tens of years since their queen had advanced in rank . Who would have thought that she would have advanced in rank after forming a contract . This was too inconceivable .
Spirit silkworms were a clan that was naturally filled with spirit energy . They could spit out silk that contained spirit energy . This was a gift from the heavens . However, despite this, it took longer for them to advance in rank, and it was also harder .
Su Li climbed off the bed as she straightened herself, saying gratefully, “Thank you . You have saved me and my child . ”
“You are a friend of Third Aunt Du . Third Aunt will only be happy if you are well . ” Sima You Yue said, “However, you are now Third Aunt’s contracted beast and have no choice but to follow her around . Then, they…”
She saw the glances of the spirit silkworms on the shore . Would these guys let them leave?
“Queen…” The spirit silkworms were troubled when they thought about this issue .
The queen was now their contracted beast and had to follow Third Aunt Du . What were they to do?
“You may pick a new ruler . ” Su Li said .
“Without the bloodline of the queen, nobody would be confident no matter who the ruler is . ” Old Sun said .
“But I have to leave . You can’t follow me forever . ” Su Li said .
“We will leave with Queen . ” Su Li’s servant girls said .
They had gone through the thunder trials, and were human in appearance . Although their bodies were only one feet tall, it wasn’t a big deal if they wanted to leave .
“We want to follow Queen as well . ” The spirit silkworms cried out from the shore .
“That’s right, Queen, don’t abandon us . ” Some spirit silkworms were already crying .
Su Li was so troubled that she began to cry as well, “Why are you following me? I will have to go far away in the future . Do you guys want that as well?”
“Wherever Queen goes, we go . ”
Old Sun, who had been silent, said something that Su Li could not refute .
“Queen, you have a contract with everyone else as well . If you die, the next ruler will not be able to attain this . ”
As such, no matter where she went, their clan would be also .
