【Interstellar Contract Magician】Ruyuanke

Chapter 218 [Empire] I will take you to catch the strange beast in the rain.

The day of departure soon arrived. After all, I would only be staying on this planet for a month and a half.

I have already received a message from the system, telling me to arrive at the capital planet within three days starting tomorrow. This is also the last night before my departure.

Night fell, enveloping the entire Agricultural Star. A gentle breeze blew past, carrying the unique fresh scent of the fields.

Qin Annan and his wife and several children started busying themselves early in the morning to prepare food for me and send me off.

Their faces were filled with warm smiles, but their eyes revealed reluctance to leave. Just like the day I arrived, they decided to roast a whole exotic beast over a bonfire as a farewell.

Lin Rong expertly built a bonfire in the yard, the dry wood crackling under the flames. The red flames danced, illuminating everyone's faces. Qin Annan and the children worked together to prepare the exotic beast for roasting. They meticulously cleaned the beast's body and evenly applied various seasonings to its surface, each movement focused and focused.

Several teenagers gathered around the campfire, discussing dinner, the day's progress, and my impending departure. From time to time, they would glance at me, their eyes revealing their reluctance to see me go. The dark-skinned boy, Yuka, walked over to me, patted my shoulder, and said, "Please come back and visit us sometime."

I smiled and said, "We'll see each other again this time next year."

"It's a deal then," he said, leaning close to my ear as if he hadn't noticed. "When I've perfected my powers, I'll take you to catch the strange beasts in the rain around this time next year."

I was a little surprised and raised my eyebrows at him. So that was also a strange beast?

He chuckled, his snow-white teeth forming a sharp contrast with his dark skin.

As time passed, the exotic beast slowly roasted over the fire, emitting an alluring aroma. Qin Annan and his wife constantly turned the exotic beast over, ensuring that every part was roasted to perfection. The rich aroma filled the air, making people salivate.

The youngest child of Qin Annan and his wife also took out some pickled vegetables and fruits that he had made and placed them on the table nearby to add color to the dinner.

Everyone began to eat, the light from the campfire flickering across their faces, illuminating the courtyard with warmth. Qin Annan munched on the exotic beast meat while blabbering on and on. His eyes were filled with concern, his voice tinged with anxiety.

"When you're out there, be careful of strangers and don't trust them easily. Stay calm when encountering problems and don't act impulsively. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to think of various solutions and don't be so stubborn..."

Before he could finish his words, however, Lin Rong gently slapped him on the shoulder, interrupting his rambling. Lin Rong frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She turned to look at me, her gaze instantly firm and commanding. She spoke slowly, saying only one sentence: "Don't embarrass us when you're out here." This was a stark contrast to her usual cheerful, even carefree self.

This sentence does not contain too much tenderness, but it has a unique power.

I understand the expectations behind her words.

I nodded solemnly, and looking at Qin Annan and his wife, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

Ultimately, they and I are just friends, but they treat me like their own child.
