Yan Zi was puzzled.

The mermaid did release Su Wanying, but her eyes still held resentment and malice.

"I can forgive and forget what happened when you hurt me last time, but I must have this woman's territory badge!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zi's lips twitched slightly.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

The mermaid coldly said, "I am the mermaid Saboye, and I am more suitable to be the queen of mermaids than that coward!"

“I know you are a capable person with abundant resources. I also know that you have established a new mermaid tribe and provided safety to my people. We can cooperate. In consideration of your care for my people, you only need to help me establish a suitable mermaid tribe for me in the battlefield, and I will give you a certain reward.”

Yan Zi became increasingly speechless as she listened.

She even wondered if the mermaid had lost her mind.

What makes him think he's qualified?

Yan Zi's eyes held a hint of hostility. She disliked this kind of self-righteous person who even had designs on her.

"You? You don't have many decent things on you! What makes you think I need your payment?"

Her tone carried a hint of cold sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Saboye's expression instantly changed, a faint red tinge appearing on his blue cheeks, as if he were on the verge of exploding in rage.

However, he quickly suppressed his anger and was not as irritable and invincible as he had been on the phone.

He forced himself to control his emotions and calmly said, "You should have noticed that I'm now a level 10 blacksmith, which is quite prestigious. You should know that I can forge more green equipment for you!"

As Saboye spoke, his tone became increasingly resolute, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with his status as a level ten blacksmith.

Yan Zi looked at him with suspicion for a few moments, then asked A Jiao, "His strength is clearly so weak! Why is he so confident?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Jiao's previously serious face instantly fell.

It curled the corner of its mouth slightly: "Probably just used to being arrogant!"

Yan Zi nodded, deeply agreeing.

The mermaid, realizing she was being looked down upon, became enraged and started arguing with Su Wanying again...

Speechless.

"shameful!"

Two sounds rang out in succession.

Yan Zi looked at the white fox in her arms with some surprise, "You also think he's unreasonable?"

The white fox nodded arrogantly.

"He's an absolute beast, always using women as a shield! He's so fragile, yet he pretends to want power. It's laughable!"

Yan Zi was very satisfied after hearing this, patted its little head, and then looked directly at the mermaid.

"I'm here to take someone away and break the contract between you and Su Wanying!"

Saboye paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but laugh. "Since you care so much, why would I let her go?"

Yan Zi shook her head: "If you don't let her go, then we will only imprison you and continue to torture you!"

Saboye was dumbfounded, somewhat confused about what this guy meant.

"Don't doubt it, I have plenty of ways to torment you. Even if you two are in a symbiotic relationship, I don't need to worry about killing it. Besides, it's already out of its mind under your control, so even if it gets injured, it probably won't even know it..."

Yan Zi's tone was icy, and not a single word she said was pleasing to him.

Before Saboye could say anything more, a chain came toward him and bound him up.

He, who was previously able to move, was now forcibly held in place...

His eyes were filled with horror, as if he couldn't believe that this guy actually possessed such an incredible item!

Yan Zi: "You seem to be afraid of this kind of prop? Looks like I made the right choice. Want to try it out and see what the effect is?"

As she was speaking, she was about to channel power into the chains when Saboye hurriedly called for a stop.

"If you really hurt me, she will be hurt too. Aren't you humans always supposed to be friendly? We haven't even discussed terms yet, why are you attacking us right away?"

Yan Zi shook her head. "I've heard too much nonsense from you. Since you haven't been cooperating properly, I have no choice but to resort to other methods."

After explaining this, she immediately activated the chains, which instantly bound his entire body and pinned him to the ground.

The chains left tiny red marks wherever they had been laid, and although they looked very minor, the pain was palpable.

Yan Zi carefully sensed the changes in the chains.

A faint, illusory figure seemed to have been peeled away from his body.

Su Wanying, who was in Zhou Yan's arms, seemed to be affected as well, her soul drifting outside, almost falling away.

Zhou Yan shouted anxiously, "Boss, is Su Wanying's soul about to float out?"

Yan Zi turned around and looked over, only to be startled by what she saw.

"It really can draw out the soul?"

Her tone carried a hint of surprise.

When Saboye saw this, he was immediately filled with panic.

Oh no, this guy is really going to kill him!

His body was already injured; if his soul were to develop problems now, something terrible would definitely happen.

Saboye immediately called a halt.

"I agree! But you also have to promise to give me that badge."

Yan Zi's face showed a hint of displeasure; she genuinely disliked this guy's haggling.

Saboye gritted his teeth and explained, "To break our previous contract, we must either achieve an equal relationship or continue the contract. These are the only two methods I know. If you have any other methods, you can use them as well."

One sentence shut everyone up.

Yan Zi looked at Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan nodded to her.

After being untied, Saboye tried to resist, which resulted in him being even more badly injured.

After trying several times, he finally gave up.

They dissolved the contractual relationship with Su Wanying as requested.

Su Wanying's identity was successfully returned, and the territory badge was given to Saboye.

Yan Zi originally intended to snatch it back, but the badge seemed to be affected by some contractual power, and it was impossible to snatch it back at all.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Saboye used a teleportation technique and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

After searching the surroundings and finding no sign of him, Yan Zi returned to the house.

At this moment, Su Wanying had regained consciousness.

However, her complexion was rather pale, suggesting that the contract had likely had some impact on her health.

Yan Zi walked over and asked, "Su Wanying, how are you feeling right now? Is there anything bothering you?"

Su Wanying looked at Yan Zi and immediately remembered the outrageous things she had said, so she didn't dare to raise her head.

Yan Zi frowned. "Can't I tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanying immediately realized that he had misunderstood her. She quickly stood up and stammered, "I...I...Boss, please don't be angry with me. I was a fool for trusting that mermaid a while ago, which is why I'm in this situation. I didn't really mean to hurt you!"

Yan Zi: "Oh, I know!"

"Tell me! Have you received any missions?"
