I Contracted Myself-Chapter 68 – Trust
Bai De was slightly surprised, but he trusted Feng Laixian's judgment.
Both of them were seasoned Awakeners who had been through countless battles, so naturally, they wouldn't insist on fighting side by side if they knew they were outmatched.
Bai De decisively retreated to Zhang Ping's side and whispered, "Zhang Ping, how did you get involved with her?"
"Coach Bai, just be ready. I need you to block a fatal blow for me, just once!" Zhang Ping didn't answer directly; it was too complicated to explain and easier for Bai De to see for himself.
Bai De looked at Zhang Ping and finally nodded, "Damn it, you better have a good explanation for this."

"If you're not satisfied, I'll give you my head as an apology!" Zhang Ping laughed.
Bai De rolled his eyes at Zhang Ping, then took a deep breath and began to prepare for battle.
In the next moment, his face turned red, his heart started pounding violently, and his hair grew rapidly. His entire body shot up in height, and his muscles visibly swelled.
In the blink of an eye, his shirt tore apart, transforming him into a lion-like beastman.
He looked somewhat similar to the lion beast from Digimon, which made Zhang Ping a bit worried about his fate.
"Alright, whatever you're going to do, do it quickly. I can only maintain this form for fifteen minutes!" Bai De said, his eyes locking onto Luo Shiyu after completing his transformation.
Zhang Ping nodded slightly and reminded him, "Be careful, Coach Bai!"
In an instant, he released Nether Mist, quickly transforming his flesh-and-blood body within it. He didn't dare to transform in front of the Moon Prince because it was too dangerous.
He should have maintained his Pureblood Body all along, but the moment he sensed the Moon Prince's presence, he instinctively switched from his flesh-and-blood body to his Pure Water Body.
This indicated that his Pure Water Body was far more advanced than his Pureblood Body.
However, this also posed a problem: to switch back to his Pureblood Body, he had to first revert to his flesh-and-blood form and then transform again.
Whether maintaining his Pure Water Body or Pureblood Body, it wouldn't be easy for the Moon Prince to kill him instantly, but his flesh-and-blood form was his greatest weakness.
If the Moon Prince seized the opportunity, he could kill him almost instantly.
Therefore, he needed Bai De to block the Moon Prince's attack.
It was dangerous, but someone had to help him.
Otherwise, without seeing through the Moon Prince's true form, Feng Laixian had no chance of winning, and they would all die.
...
Boom!
A loud crash.
At the moment Zhang Ping transformed, Coach Bai De was sent flying by a tremendous force.
He didn't even see what hit him; the power was terrifying. His legs plowed two long furrows in the ground, then his back broke a large tree, collapsed a wall, and finally smashed a huge hole in a house's wall before he stopped.
"Damn it..."
Bai De slumped to the ground, spitting out blood mixed with pieces of his organs, unable to move. He cursed softly before his head drooped heavily, and he blacked out.
In fact, it was the Moon Prince's tail that had attacked Bai De.
And the tail didn't stop after sending Bai De flying; it pierced through the Nether Mist released by Zhang Ping.
However, because Bai De had blocked it for a moment, Zhang Ping had completed his transformation from flesh-and-blood to Pureblood Body.
He didn't care at all about the tail piercing his abdomen; he immediately seized the opportunity to grab the Moon Prince's tail, trying to infiltrate his blood into the Moon Prince's body.
But this time, he felt a tremendous resistance.
The tail seemed to sense the infiltration and violently flicked.
The force was immense, throwing him into the air. Another tail came and slapped him onto a nearby house wall, not far from Bai De. His Pureblood Body splattered from the impact, but he quickly reformed and looked towards Bai De.
With that last hit, Bai De had already fallen unconscious.
However, his berserk lion form was indeed strong. After all, the Moon Prince was a top-tier Mutated Beast, and Bai De was just a high-level Awakener.
Surviving that hit proved Bai De's strength.
Zhang Ping quickly moved to Bai De's side, his blood infiltrating Bai De's body to start healing him.
Broken arm bones, three fractured ribs, severe internal bleeding.
Under his treatment, Bai De's injuries healed rapidly.
Suddenly, Bai De's eyes snapped open. He looked at the towering beast in the distance, his pupils dilating, then he searched for Zhang Ping.
"Coach, I'm inside your body. Now you should see the situation," Zhang Ping's voice came at the right moment.
Bai De took a deep breath, suppressing his shock. He wiped his eyes and patted his cheeks, then looked again at the now transformed Moon Prince in the distance and whispered, "This isn't your illusion?"
"No, the attack you couldn't see just now was actually its tail," Zhang Ping explained.
Bai De watched the Moon Prince's tail swipe at Feng Laixian, who dodged it with foresight, and was convinced almost entirely.

All the attack trajectories matched, making the possibility of an illusion extremely low.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked softly.
Zhang Ping quickly explained the current situation in Mingzhu City and then said seriously, "So now, the only way to save Mingzhu City is to kill the Moon King."
"I see. Those missing people and the horror stories about human skins, it all makes sense now," Bai De finally believed Zhang Ping completely.
Zhang Ping seized the moment, "Coach Bai, Master Feng is in great danger now. Although he can sense the Moon Prince's attacks, he still thinks the Moon Prince is human. One slip-up could be fatal. I need you to deliver my blood to Master Feng's body. Only then can he see the Moon Prince's true form and not be affected by its abilities."
"Where's your blood?" Bai De asked.
Zhang Ping immediately said, "Open your right hand, palm up."
When Bai De opened his right hand, Zhang Ping controlled a portion of his blood to seep out of Bai De's palm, forming a small glob of blood in his hand.
"Master, catch this, it's good stuff!"
Bai De squeezed the blood, finding it very viscous. He tested its texture, then did something Zhang Ping didn't expect.
He directly threw the blood at Feng Laixian. Despite its viscosity, the blood held together and spun like a ball as it flew.
On the other side, Feng Laixian dodged an invisible attack. Hearing Bai De's shout, he turned without looking and opened his mouth to catch the blood.
This was actually a form of tacit understanding between them.
"Good stuff" meant something edible, while a weapon would be referred to as "the big guy."
As soon as Feng Laixian swallowed the blood, Zhang Ping's consciousness transferred into the blood, quickly infiltrating Feng Laixian's bloodstream. Feng Laixian felt the infiltration but didn't resist.
In short, he trusted Bai De.
Sure enough, the next moment, the scene in his eyes changed. The once petite and cute 'Luo Shiyu' transformed into the gigantic, hideous Moon Prince.
"Master Feng, it's Zhang Ping. Please listen to me before making any judgments!" Zhang Ping's voice echoed in his mind.
Zhang Ping then repeated what he had told Bai De.
Feng Laixian closed his eyes, quickly verifying the information he had previously gathered against Zhang Ping's words. Then he opened his eyes, suppressing his anger, "So that's it. No wonder Lin Kedi gave me a sense of distance last night, a feeling I couldn't quite grasp. It turns out even he has... Ahhh!"
By the end, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but roar at the sky.
He was an orphan, taken in by the previous master due to his excellent physical condition.
Because of this, he always considered his senior and junior brothers and sisters as his closest family.
Lin Benshi was his senior brother, and naturally, Lin Kedi was his junior.
Although they weren't close, it didn't mean he didn't care about him.
