Chapter 54: Let’s not hug it out
Ugh… Huh…
Tang Yue woke up groggily with a searing pain in her head.
“What the heck? How am I not dead yet?”
The snake could still vividly remember being burnt alive and of course, the associated gut-wrenching pain.
So she couldn’t help but hang on to the fear and the dread.
She frantically looked left and right and touched her body haphazardly to make sure that she was still whole and alive.
Tang Yue fumbled on the ground as she picked herself up with a confused expression.
The last thing she remembered was that hellish world with fire everywhere.
“How did I even get out of there?” Tang Yue muttered.
She looked around her chamber and everything was the same.
Even the carpet that she had dragged out was restored back to its natural splendour adding a calm and luxurious warmth to the place.
“Did Lotte put it back?”
Tang Yue quickly lifted the edges of the carpet to see if her blood engravings were still present, but only to find the crystal clear white marble floor.
“Ok. I refuse to believe that all of that was some sort of f*cking dream.”
“I bled my fingers dry for hours together to complete the damn rune.”
“WHAT THE HELL?”
“MASTER? LITTLE PLUM??”
Tang Yue shouted in exasperation.
And as usual, her so called master was a no show and remained mum.
However, a small squeaky voice did sound behind her unexpectedly.
Ollu Ollu
Tang Yue took all of two seconds to recognise this god awful frightening sound and immediately turned around in terror, fear etched in her beautiful eyes.
Not again!!
A small bouncy ball of flames jumped up and down nonchalantly in front of her.
“It’s one thing if you don’t like me and prefer to burn me in your world, but its another thing when you follow me back to my world and again try to burn me!”
“Can we please part as friends?”
Tang Yue clutched her head and pleaded the terrifying Little Plum with her eyes glistening.
The memory of her burnt flesh smell was still fresh in her mind!
Ollu Ollu
The little thing wordlessly bounced again, but Tang Yue could vaguely feel a sense of sadness from the fireball.
She stared at it blankly for a few minutes and only then let out a breath of relief.
For now, it looked like she was still safe and not in any danger.
“Hmm… Maybe all of that was just a part of the contract?” Tang Yue pondered.
She was very reluctant to trust the deadly little thing again.
She bit her nails and curiously asked the blob. “Are we contracted?”
“I mean is the contract successful?”
Ollu Ollu.
The cute ball of flames simply bounced in front of her, not deviating from its standard behavior.
“….”
It looked like the little thing was unable to communicate with her.
Tang Yue fidgeted not knowing how to make sense of the situation.
“Oh right! I can just check my status screen!”
Her eyes lit up as she summoned her status details.

“Ahh!! The contract is indeed successful!!!” Tang Yue grinned.
All that difficulty was not for naught!
She even managed to massively upgrade her heat resistance and fire affinity in the process.
There couldn’t have been a better outcome.
Tang Yue cautiously leaned forward and took a closer look at the small blob.
“Hello, Little Plum.”
Ollu Ollu
The little thing bounced up and down, this time conveying a happy and warm feeling to her.
Tang Yue was surprised. She didn’t think that elementals were intelligent life forms.
“So you can understand me well? Just can’t talk back huh?”
Ollu Ollu
“Welcome to this world. Let’s not hug it out.”
