Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 303 I Don’t Eat Beef

"Oh? Are you so sure?" Su Mingdi hooked up Han Dingxiang’s fair chin with one hand.

His gaze carried a hint of admiration and a bit of playfulness.

Han Dingxiang turned her head away, breaking free from his devilish grasp and said with conviction, "Of course, I’m sure."

But then a trace of dejection appeared in her eyes, "You don’t understand him; you have no idea what he’s thinking. In any case, he definitely won’t come to save me."

Hearing this, Su Mingdi became somewhat interested, "So you’re saying, you understand him very well?"

"Better than you."

"Haha, you do understand him better than me," Su Mingdi dismissed her retort with a mocking laugh, but then he teasingly asked, "Since you understand him so well, aren’t you worried about your own life?"

At these words, Han Dingxiang’s expression suddenly turned gloomy.

After a silence of two seconds, she said, "I’ve already died once; I’ve long since stopped caring."

"Oh? That’s quite pessimistic?"

Su Mingdi’s nostrils flared with amusement, "How about we make a bet then?"

"What sort of bet?"

"We’ll bet whether Xiao Yu will come to save you or not."

Han Dingxiang’s expression froze slightly, but then she lowered her eyebrows, "There’s no need for that, he won’t come to save me."

"Really lacking in confidence, eh? But I still want to bet with you that he will come to save you."

"Suit yourself," Han Dingxiang glanced at him, devoid of any interest.

...

Time quickly reached four o’clock in the early morning.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong had successfully mastered the Thunder Shadow Step, and used it to hasten their journey, finally arriving at Shuize Forest at four o’clock in the morning.

It was a place brimming with water vapor, lakes scattered about like shattered mirrors, surrounded by towering trees with robust branches and lush leaves.

The ground featured patches of depressions, with green moss creeping over every climbable surface.

Some Water Attribute Demon Beasts resided here.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, with the aid of the night, hid behind a rock.

With their possession of Death Aura, they had pinpointed Su Mingdi’s location from about five kilometers away.

As well as the circumstances of Su Mingdi’s entourage.

"All of the Han Family are dead, only Han Dingxiang remains. These people might be few in number, but they are all Fifth Grade Spirit Masters, a full four of them!" Xiao Zhan used his Perception to gather information about them and was instantly surprised.

"That slightly weaker young man should be their core, but he also has a Fourth Grade Realm," Ye Youlong said.

They were facing four Fifth Grade and one Fourth Grade.

With such force, there was still a certain risk for Xiao Zhan and his companion.

Once you reach a certain level of power, you could instantaneously defeat others, but similarly, if someone catches you off-guard, they could finish you with one move.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan’s rescue operation had to be extra cautious.

"How do you plan to rescue Han Dingxiang?" Ye Youlong asked Xiao Zhan.

Right now, Han Dingxiang was surrounded by those four Fifth Grade Spirit Masters, and they still didn’t know the specific purpose of Su Mingdi’s group, so they had to be extremely careful.

Xiao Zhan looked around and said, "Directly exposing ourselves to them is definitely not an option; we haven’t rescued her yet, and we’d end up putting ourselves in danger. We’ll stick to the old rule: take them down one by one!"

"Alright."

The two reached a consensus and immediately began to take action.

With the shielding effect of the Death Aura, they approached Su Mingdi’s position silently like shadows.

At this moment, Su Mingdi was leisurely enjoying a hotpot and drinking cola, with not the slightest hint of vigilance.

The other four Fifth Grade Spirit Masters were also sitting around the fire, enjoying the hotpot together, and were similarly unguarded.

In this Shuize Forest, their strength made them the unrivaled overlords.

Demon Beasts would be slain if they came, and humans would be killed as well; they feared no accidental risks.

Thus, they had little guard against such things.

Han Dingxiang sat to the side, eyeing the steaming hotpot with no appetite at all. Instead, her gaze would occasionally drift into the distance, all her spiritual power focused on Xiao Zhan.

Seeing this, Su Mingdi couldn’t help but laugh softly, "Didn’t you say you didn’t believe Xiao Yu would come to rescue you? Your eager anticipation has completely betrayed your true feelings."

"I just don’t believe he’ll come to save me, that doesn’t mean I don’t hope for it."

"You don’t have to look so frequently; there are still more than two hours until sunrise, he’s probably still on his way," Su Mingdi said.

"Are you that confident he’ll arrive right at sunrise?" Han Dingxiang asked.

Su Mingdi smiled confidently, "Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."

With that, he suddenly picked up a cooked piece of beef from the hotpot and placed it in Han Dingxiang’s bowl.

"Take the opportunity to eat more while you can, so you’ll have the energy to escape when Xiao Yu arrives."

But Han Dingxiang stared at the meat in her bowl and said, "I don’t eat beef."

Su Mingdi shook his head, "Know the enemy and know yourself, to be victorious in all battles. Do you know why Ye Youyou forms a Contract with Xiao Yu?"

"Why?" Upon hearing this question, Han Dingxiang’s gaze fixed intently on him.

Su Mingdi replied, "Because she likes to eat beef."

Hearing this, Han Dingxiang was momentarily taken aback, hesitating as she looked at the beef in her bowl.

Her chopsticks involuntarily picked it up, but just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly dropped the beef back into the bowl.

"I am me, she is her, it has nothing to do with whether I eat beef or not."

After saying this, she tossed her bowl and chopsticks into the fire pit.

Su Mingdi only laughed lightly at this behavior, unconcerned. He continued to pick up chunks of beef from the pot, savoring them deliciously.

However, as he ate, he frowned and said, "This damn forest is so chilly, eating hotpot isn’t enough to warm me up. I need to heat up some wine."

Su Mingdi took out a bottle of wine and started heating it.

But he was completely oblivious to the light around him gradually dimming.

Xiao Zhan had reached a position two hundred meters from them, hidden within the Death Aura, and Su Mingdi, including the four Fifth Grade Spirit Masters, had not noticed a thing.

The thick Death Aura crept along the ground toward Su Mingdi and the others, quickly enveloping them unnoticed.

Xiao Zhan’s eyes turned icy as he seized the perfect moment to release the Death Aura in full force, turning the thin veil of Death Aura into pitch-black ink in an instant.

At the same moment, the Perception Ability of Su Mingdi and the others was abruptly severed!

"An ambush!"

One of the Fifth Grade Spirit Masters immediately shouted, and almost instantly, the Artifact Spirit in his hand released a flash of blade light, slicing towards this mass of Death Aura.

Although his reaction was swift, Xiao Zhan was prepared, moving even faster!

Boom!

With the sound of thunder roaring, Xiao Zhan had already reached Han Dingxiang, scooping her up into his arms, and quickly dashed away into the distance.
