"Why are you hesitating now, Yingying? Forget about us old folks and go have fun with the youngsters. You’ll definitely enjoy the outside world more than this forest." Grandpa Lan said to her.
"Furthermore, you’ll conceive his child in the future. It would be better for the child if the father is there during birth, don’t you think so as well?" Grandma Lan added.
"What about my duty?" Lan Yingying asked.
"You’re worried about that? Just leave it to us. We will continue to clean the Lord’s tablet." Grandpa Lan said.
After a slight pause, he continued with a smile on his face, "In fact, starting today, you have a new ’Lord’."
"Wait... What?" Lan Yingying looked at him with wide eyes.
"Go ahead and serve the young man as your new ’Lord’. You’re not bound by a contract, anyway. It was our ancestors who decided to follow the Lord. We’re simply carrying out their duties as a family tradition." Grandpa Lan said to her.
"..."
After a long moment of silence, Lan Yingying stood up from her seat and walked to the side of the table where Yuan was sitting.
"Miss Lan?" Yuan looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Yuan..."
Lan Yingying lowered her body until she was on her knees.
"No... Please allow me to call you my Lord." Lan Yingying said as she lowered her head until it was kissing the floor.
"I wish to serve you as my Lord." Lan Yingying repeated since Yuan didn’t respond for a moment, mostly because he was speechless.
"A-Are you sure?" Yuan asked her.
"I am positive." Lan Yingying nodded her head with a resolute expression on her face.
"Okay. If you want to follow me, there’s no reason for me to refuse." Yuan easily agreed.
"Really? You don’t mind?" Lan Yingying’s eyes flickered with excitement.
"Why would I mind? It’s not like I dislike you. In fact, I really like you." Yuan said with a smile on his face.
"Great! Now let’s make this official with a contract!" Grandpa Lan said a momentter.
"You just need some of my blood, right?" Yuan asked her, as this is what Feng Yuxiang needed.
Lan Yingying nodded.
"Okay."
Yuan retrieved the Starry Abyss, opened a wound on his finger, before finally offering it to Lan Yinying.
Lan Yingying dly epted his hand and opened her mouth, putting his finger inside a momentter to suck his blood.
Wang Xiuying swallowed nervously from the background, her face slightly flushed with redness, as this scene looked kind of erotic for some reason.
[Divine Serpent ’Lan Yingying’ has initiated a servant contract with you!]
"My Lord, this subordinate shall follow you forever and swear my loyalty to you." Lan Yingying said to him.
"Just call me Yuan, Miss Lan," Yuan said to her.
"I cannot." Lan Yingying shook her head.
"Young man, we take our tradition very seriously." Grandpa Lan said to him.
"It’ll be easier on her if you let her address you as ’Lord’." Grandma Lan also said.
Yuan nodded his head, "Fine. Call me whatever makes you feelfortable, Miss Lan."
"Young man, you should stop calling her ’Miss Lan’. It makes you sound distant from her. Just call her Yingying like we do." Grandpa Lan then said.
"Okay. Yingying, I will ept you as my servant." Yuan said.
Ding!

’Yingying is an Ancient-grade Divine Beast? That’s even higher than Feng Feng, who’s a phoenix! And she has so many Ancient rank skills!’ Yuan was inwardly surprised when he saw Lan Yingying’s stats.
’And what’s this Unlimited Growth skill? I cannot see its rank, just like Feng Feng’s Cursed Bloodline...’
"The contract ispleted," Yuan said to her a momentter.
"Wee to the team. I will introduce you to the others once we go outside."
"Okay!" Lan Yingying nodded with a blissful expression on her face.
"Ahhh... How they grow up so quickly..." Grandma Lan said with a smile on her face.
And she continued, "Let’s all drink the tea before it gets cold."
Thus, they sat down around the table and began drinking her tea.
Meanwhile, outside the Mystic Realm, an announcement appeared in the sky.
[Congrattions! yer Yuan has be the first yer to obtain an Ancient grade Servant!]
This announcement shocked every yer currently online. In fact, many of these yers are learning about the existence of Ancient grade for the first time because of this announcement!
"Ancient grade servant..." Meixiu stared at the grand announcement in the sky with a dazed look on her face.
"What’s the matter, Meixiu?" Feng Yuxiang asked her after noticing her nk stares into the sky.
"Yuan... He just obtained another servant." Meixiu said to her.
"What?! The Young Master?! Is that why I felt a chill down my spine just now?!" Feng Yuxiang eximed in a shocked voice.
"What kind of magical beast is it this time?" She then asked.
Meixiu shook her head and said, "We will find out once he leaves the Mystic Realm."
Inside the Mystic Realm, Yuan and the others spent a good hour calmly sipping tea and talking about random things casually.

After they finished all of the tea, Yuan and the others prepared to leave the Mystic Realm.
"Stay safe, Yingying, young man, and youngdy." Grandpa Lan said to them.
"We will be here if you ever decide toe to visit us." Grandma Lan said.
"Thank you for everything that you’ve done for me," Yuan bowed to them.
"Thank you, grandfather, grandmother, for taking care of me. I will never forget the time I have spent here." Lan Yingying also lowered her head.
Grandpa Lan smiled and said, "You can thank us by showing us our great-grandchildren."
Lan Yingying nodded, "I promise."
After saying their final goodbyes, Yuan and the others entered a teleport that he’d created, leaving the Mystic Realm.
