Effects of Contract

Several people nodded, convinced by Anping's explanation. Bi Ji pointed at the contract in Anping's hand and asked curiously, "Are you sure they will follow what's written here?"

They trusted Anping, knowing his relationship with Gu Yuena. But they still found it hard to believe that such a contract could bind an Ultimate Douluo.

Anping nodded slightly. "This is not a normal contract. It's signed under the witness of the Universe's will. They can't break it unless they break free from this Universe."

They had never felt the Universe's will, but they had seen Yun Ming and Yali's reactions after signing the contract. They figured it was safe, so they didn't ask more questions.

Gu Yuena stood up and said, "Okay, we're done here. We'll leave in two days. You need to go back to the Star Dou Forest, so hurry up and go."

She was telling them to leave. Yun Ming and Yali had signed the contract and posed no threat to Anping and Gu Yuena. Ditian and the others had nothing to worry about and left.

After they left, Anping saw Gu Yuena staring at him. He felt embarrassed and touched his face. He asked, "What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?"

Gu Yuena ignored his cuteness and tapped her finger on the contract. She said, "Tell me about this contract. It's not as simple as it looks, is it?"

"Did you notice?" Anping said, surprised. He thought he had hidden it well, but Gu Yuena had seen through it.

Gu Yuena said angrily, "We've known each other for so long, and you think I don't know you?"

"You make me sound like a bad person." Anping shook his head helplessly and changed the subject. "But you're right, this contract is more than it seems. The words on it don't matter. Did you see the pattern on the edge? That's the real contract."

Gu Yuena gasped and said, "Are you a devil? That's so devious. What does the contract say?"

Anping said indignantly, "It's similar to what you saw, but stricter. And the time limit is not one month, but forever. If I were really devious, I would have made it a master-servant contract."

He couldn't let Yun Ming off easily, not after he tried to kill them. He only wrote one month on the contract to make him sign it without suspicion. Yun Ming didn't have the skill to judge the contract's content.

Gu Yuena nodded and said, "I knew you wouldn't be so lenient. I'm glad."

She took Anping's hand and left the teahouse.

...

Two days flew by. After signing the contract, Yun Ming and Yali didn't bother Anping and Gu Yuena again. They left Skysea City and returned to Shrek Academy.

They had tested the contract's power. Whenever they tried to reveal Anping and Gu Yuena's identities, they felt a terrible dread.

Yun Ming and Yali had no choice but to return to Shrek Academy. They couldn't speak out or act against Anping and Gu Yuena.

They were more worried about the ferocious beasts attacking Shrek Academy than what Anping and Gu Yuena planned to do in the Star Luo Empire.

...

Anping spent the last two days shopping with Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan. He wasn't interested in shopping, but Gu Yuena was his girlfriend.

It was time to leave. The federal staff led Anping, Gu Yuena, Xu Xiaoyan and the other Sun Moon Academy members out of the hotel and to the port.

As they boarded the ship, Xu Xiaoyan saw Tang Wulin and his friends in green uniforms ahead. She whispered, "I can't believe we're on the same ship as the Shrek Academy people. What were the staff thinking?"

Gu Yuena knew Xu Xiaoyan felt awkward. She rubbed her head and said, "Just ignore them. If they cause trouble, Anping and I will handle it."

"Then I'll count on sister Nana to protect me." Xu Xiaoyan said sweetly.

Their voices were low, but Cai Yue'er heard them clearly. She was a titled Douluo, after all. She looked back at them with a cold glare.

She was the team leader, so she walked in front. When she turned, Tang Wulin and the others noticed her and looked back.

They saw Anping, Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan in the Sun Moon Academy team. Their faces darkened. They paused for a moment, then followed Wu Zhangkong's prompt.

They thought Xu Xiaoyan was a traitor to Shrek Academy, and Anping and Gu Yuena were a disgrace to Shrek. They weren't happy to share a ship with them for a long time.

Xie Xie frowned and said, "What a bad luck. They're on this ship too."

Tang Wulin clenched his fists. The battle with Anping and Gu Yuena had affected him the most. He had spent most of his free time earning contribution points to exchange for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, to restore his depleted bloodline power. It had even slowed down his battle armor production.

He had also lost an artifact, though he didn't know what it was. But he felt the Golden Dragon Spear's impact on him, and how Anping and Gu Yuena had destroyed it.

He calmed himself and patted Xie Xie's shoulder. He said, "Practice hard. We'll surpass them one day."

The staff greeted them on the deck. They arranged their accommodation. The exchange group was large, but the two giant ships had plenty of space. Everyone got a single room.

They followed the numbers on their keys to find their rooms. Anping, Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan had requested to stay together.

They walked to their room, chatting and laughing. But at a corner of a corridor, a green figure blocked their way. It was Le Zhengyu, who had a history with Anping.

They frowned when they saw him. Xu Xiaoyan said angrily, "Isn't this a top student from Shrek Academy? What's your problem, blocking us?"
