My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Gu Xing's gaze followed Wei Yuan's fingertip.

On the platform, the once high and mighty Chen father and son were now in disarray, slumped on the ground like two dead dogs.

Chen Shan's normally stern and hard face was now ashen like dirt.

Chen Ziming, even more so, had blood at the corners of his mouth, his limbs twisted, long gone was his former arrogant demeanor.

Gu Xing looked at them coldly, without a ripple of emotion in his heart.

Over the years, Chen Shan, leaning on his power, had coerced and tempted, snatching away countless students' Guardian Beasts.

And Chen Ziming, relying on his father's authority, rampaged through Lin Yuan City, bullying classmates and acting recklessly.

Their downfall today was entirely their own doing.

"Commander Wei, deal with them according to the law!"

Wei Yuan nodded slightly at these words.

He intentionally left the Chen father and son to give Gu Xing an opportunity for relief.

But clearly, Gu Xing had no such intention.

He pondered slightly, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious Chen father and son:

"Chen Shan will be assigned to the Vanguard Team!"

When it came to Chen Ziming, he deliberately slowed his speech.

"As for this one... deliberately hurting classmates and abusing Guardian Beasts."

Wei Yuan enunciated, "Sentenced to life imprisonment in Lin Yuan City's dungeon."

With Wei Yuan's verdict, the fate of the Chen father and son was sealed.

Soon, special personnel arrived to carry away the unconscious Chen father and son.

Before leaving, a Spiritual Type Beast Master raised a hand that glowed in a dark blue light, efficiently severing the Spiritual Link between Chen Ziming and the Succubus.

They hadn't forgotten that the Succubus now belonged to Gu Xing!

Wei Yuan glanced around, ensuring all matters were handled properly.

"I have military duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave. Remember to prioritize the Southern Military Region upon graduation."

Gu Xing solemnly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan then contentedly turned and left.

After taking a few steps, as if remembering something important:

"Oh, regarding the military's second phase assessment..."

"Considering you and Ying Bing are about to head to the Elf Secret Realm, for the one-and-a-half-month assessment, you can choose not to participate."

"Your result, without assessment, is the first place for this examination!"

Wei Yuan's decision brightened Gu Xing's eyes.

He had been hesitating earlier about how to resolve the conflict between the second assessment's timing and the Elf Secret Realm.

Now, without the need to participate in the military assessment, it saved him a lot of trouble.

This military leader came and went like the wind, and in no time, he had left Lin Yuan City.

Leaving behind two precious gifts:

A Light Crystal that emitted a warm glow and a First-class Honor Medal.

"These are really good things!"

Xia Xiu, who had unknowingly stood by his side, was staring intensely at that medal, full of envy.

"The First-class Honor Medal not only can command the city defense forces but at critical moments can call a special task force. Don't underestimate the weight of this badge."

With Xia Xiu's reminder, Gu Xing then realized the value of the item in his hand, quickly and solemnly keeping it safe.

He originally thought it was just a medal symbolizing honor, not expecting it to also hold real power.

Seeing Gu Xing safely store it, Xia Xiu continued:

"By the way, that injured girl, I've sent the best Healer over, she should recover soon."

"Thank you, City Lord!"

Xia Xiu waved dismissively.

Gu Xing inadvertently glanced at the bound Succubus, his gaze turning slightly cold:

"City Lord Xia, I want Shen Ruoxue to sign a Slave Contract with this Succubus."

"Slave Contract?"

Xia Xiu raised an eyebrow, then nodded in understanding.

"Indeed, a master-biting Guardian Beast should be bound by the strictest Contract, I agree!"

Having somewhat befriended Gu Xing, Xia Xiu also turned and left the platform, leaving the venue to Gu Xing.

Immediately, deafening cheers erupted around the platform, the waves of sound crashing one after another like tides.

At this moment, Gu Xing's name resounded throughout Lin Yuan City!

Amidst the cheers, the Succubus gently awoke.

In her dark purple pupils was reflected the silhouette of the figure standing in the sunlight.

Gu Xing, cloaked in glory, surrounded by all the cheers and praises.

Beside him, a silver-haired girl tightly gripping his hand, they appeared perfectly matched.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

A surge of unprecedented regret washed over her heart like a tide.

If she hadn't betrayed Gu Xing in the first place, if she could hold onto the Contract, could she now be standing in that position...?

But it seemed it was not too late!

As the spoils of a wager, she had already been lost by Chen Ziming to Gu Xing.

This meant she still had a chance, a possibility to become Gu Xing's Guardian Beast once more...

She could enjoy everything that the Angel enjoyed!

...

Medical ward.

"Captain, Gu God avenged you! Chen Ziming had his limbs broken on the platform, and Commander Wei personally intervened; the Chen family is completely finished!"

"Captain, don't worry, our entire team will pool money to get you a better Guardian Beast!"

"Yeah Captain, the second assessment is waiting for you to lead us!"

"Captain, pull yourself together!"

As Gu Xing reached the entrance of the medical ward, he overheard the comforting words of Shen Ruoxue's team members.

Gu Xing turned towards the Succubus.

"Mas... Master, why did you bring me here?"

At this moment, the Succubus's voice trembled, her scarlet pupils slightly contracting.

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in her heart.

But...

"Nasty Succubus! Who are you calling Master?!"

The little girl standing beside Gu Xing immediately objected.

Her own master, even if he were to contract a Guardian Beast, it had to be with her consent.

This Succubus...

Clearly hadn't met her standards!

"Don't call him that!"

Liu Li puffed up her cheeks and widened her eyes, a cluster of fiery red flames slowly appearing in her palm.

The sight of the flames made the Succubus shiver, and the painful memory of her soul being burned flooded her mind instantly.

She never wanted to experience the pain of being soul-burned again.

"I'm sorry!" She hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake.

Only then did Liu Li satisfactorily retract the flames, giving a prideful sniff.

Gu Xing, torn between laughter and tears, looked at his own little angel.

The little girl was good in every way, just a bit jealous.

Helplessly, Gu Xing shook his head, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the medical ward door.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

The conversation inside abruptly stopped.

A moment later, the door was opened slightly, revealing a familiar face.

"Gu, Gu God?!"

The team member who opened the door widened his eyes and then hurriedly stepped aside, "Please come in!"

Gu Xing nodded politely and stepped inside.

The moment the people inside the room saw Gu Xing, they became a flurry of activity.

"Gu, Gu God... please take a seat here."

"Gu God... do you want some fruit? I'll help you!"

The most eye-catching was Shen Ruoxue on the sickbed.

Her originally dazed eyes gradually became lively after recognizing the visitor, and even her pale cheeks blushed visibly.
