Chapter 6

The next morning, I had only just opened my eyes when I sensed that something was wrong.

There was someone beside me!

I was about to draw my sword and stab toward the person next to me when I saw an incredibly beautiful and seductive man holding me tightly in his arms. His snow-white skin made me lose focus for a moment.

Even women would feel inferior standing beside him.

When had our family acquired such a gorgeous man?

Why was he in my bed?

He had managed to approach me while I slept without making a sound. His spiritual power was definitely greater than mine.

Who exactly was he?

Could he be from the demon clan?

While I was trying to figure things out, the man slowly woke up.

I immediately gripped my sword and pointed it at him nervously.

【Who are you? Why are you in my bed? What are you trying to do?】

He slowly pushed himself upright, and I noticed that beneath the blanket he was wearing the clothes I had prepared for a spirit beast after it transformed into human form.

The white shirt looked both alluring and innocently sensual on him.

Beneath his thick, long lashes was a pair of golden fox eyes.

【You’re the spirit fox?!】 I cried out in shock.

He curled his lips into a smile, and every movement he made was irresistibly seductive.

With a wave of his hand, he knocked my sword away and pulled me into his arms.

【I have a name, you know. My name is Adrian.】

Adrian said that when he had been seriously injured, he happened to encounter the Grand Elder while the elder was searching for spirit beasts.

Fortunately, the Grand Elder was a kind man who believed in saving lives, so he rescued Adrian.

The fact that Adrian could transform into human form on his own proved that his cultivation was extremely high. But whoever had injured him must have been even more powerful than he was.

That thought left me on the verge of tears. I felt as if I had chosen a demanding ancestor to serve.

【Then we’re doomed. The person who injured you isn’t going to come looking for revenge, are they?】

What was happening to me?

I had only just gotten rid of one problem, and another one had appeared.

Was I some kind of trouble magnet?

Adrian smiled brightly. 【Now that we’re bonded, you should cultivate properly, Master, so that you can protect me.】
