My career has infinite upgrades.

Hearing the notification sound in his ear, Gu Qing raised an eyebrow.

It's a pity I couldn't summon Cecilia's maid, but the one in front of me is also an S-rank witch.

The loyalty level is too low, only 60.

A loyalty level of 60 is barely considered loyal; below 60, there is a possibility of betrayal.

As Gu Qing was thinking, Melissant's cold, purple eyes swept over him quickly.

A clear look of disdain appeared on her originally languid and alluring face.

The next moment, Gu Qing heard two notification sounds.

[Ding! Due to the host's low strength, the S-rank Abyss Witch Melisandre feels deeply humiliated, and her loyalty has dropped to 50.]

[WARNING: S-rank Abyss Witch Melisandre's loyalty is below 50; her contracted creature may turn against her at any time!]

Gu Qing frowned slightly. The backlash from an S-rank Abyss Witch was still quite troublesome for him in his current state.

Then, Gu Qing turned his gaze to Cecilia.

Cecilia's gaze had already met Melissant's.

"How dare you disrespect your master?"

Cecilia's black and white saintly dress fluttered even without wind, and her eyes, which were usually warm towards Gu Qing, were now filled with icy coldness.

Melissand spoke, her clear voice like pearls falling onto a jade plate: "Master?"

"With his strength, how could he become our master? I think you've lost your mind!"

Cecilia's expression grew even colder upon hearing this, and she took out the whip that she had previously handed to Gu Qing.

"I think you deserve a beating!"

*Smack!*

A black and white light enveloped Cecilia's whip, which she lashed out at Melisandre in front of her.

Melissand raised her hand, and a purple mist emanated from her body.

A crisp sound rang out, and the purple mist protecting Melissand instantly collapsed.

After Melissant was summoned, her level also became level one.

Furthermore, given that its rank is S, which is inferior to Cecilia's rank of SS, it was directly suppressed.

Melissand felt the power contained in the whip and looked on incredulously.

"The primal pressure of an SS-rank being? And the holy aura of the Holy See and the aura of the abyss—who exactly are you?"

Melissand attempted to resist, conjuring a sharp purple thorn in her hand.

However, before she could make a move, Cecilia's long whip transformed into more than a dozen afterimages, lashing down like a storm.

Cecilia's whip technique was highly skilled; each lash precisely struck Melissand's vulnerable abyssal points, leaving her unable to resist.

In just five seconds, the S-rank Abyss Witch, the Demon of Sound Kill, collapsed weakly onto the rubble, her pale skin covered in crisscrossing red marks.

"Know your place!" Cecilia walked up to Melisandre, looking down at her. "Crawl over there! Submit to your master! Otherwise, I will crush your very soul."

Melissant gritted her teeth, tears of resentment welling up in her eyes.

She glanced at Gu Qing, then at Cecilia beside her.

In the end, she forced herself to crawl to Gu Qing's feet and lowered her noble head.

"Melissand, the Demon of Sound Killing... I am at your service."

[Ding! Melissand has been intimidated by the high-level source and has temporarily submitted. Current loyalty: 60.]

Cecilia snorted coldly: "That's more like it. How dare you disrespect your master. Tonight, you'll be punished by serving your master during her bath."

Melissant flinched, but did not refute.

Gu Qing remained calm. Strength was still the most important thing; he needed to improve his strength quickly.

Just then, another notification sound rang in my ears.

[Ding! Abyss Feedback Triggered!]

[Successfully shared 10% of Melissant's base attributes.]

[The host gains: Strength +1.5, Constitution +2, Agility +3, Spirit +4.]

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow and then brought up Melissant's attribute panel.

Melisandre, the Sonic Demon

[Rank: S]

[Level: 1]

Loyalty: 65%

[Attributes: Strength: 15; Constitution: 20; Agility: 30; Spirit: 40]

【Skill 1: Abyss Diva (Releases a wide-range penetrating sonic wave, dealing continuous mental damage to all enemy targets within the area, and inflicting moderate stun and disorientation effects.)】

[Skill 2: Enchanting Voice (Simulates a specific frequency through vocal cord vibration to directly control life forms with lower willpower than the user; duration of control depends on the difference in mental strength between the two parties.)]

[Skill 3: Echoing Shield (Condenses high-frequency sound waves to form a shield with no blind spots, capable of reflecting 30% of physical and low-level magical attacks.)]

[Passive Skill: Sound Wave Perception (Emits barely audible infrasound waves to accurately construct the coordinates of all active life forms within a 200-meter radius, immune to all low-level stealth skills.)]

Looking at Melissand's attributes and skills, Gu Qing felt a surge of excitement.

Although its base stats are not as good as Cecilia's (SS-rank), all four of its skills are very useful.

It is an excellent control and detection-type auxiliary tool.

With Melissant joining the team, his overall combat strength will be greatly enhanced.

After all, both Abyss Diva and Enchanting Voice have control effects.

Together with his undead and Cecilia, they can produce unexpected results.

Just then, Melissand looked towards the door and said, "Something is approaching."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow, knowing that Melissand's passive skill, Sound Perception, had come into play.

It seems that Melissant's commotion just now attracted the attention of the guards outside.

At this moment, the two guard leaders outside were frowning as they walked towards them.

"You heard that sound just now, didn't you?"

"It sounds like it, a song, quite melodious, you can tell it's a beautiful woman singing."

"Beautiful women my foot! Have you forgotten where we are? What beautiful women would there be here?"

"Yeah, it seems so. This is an abandoned place. Holy crap! Is it haunted?"

"Ghost my foot! More like an undead. Hurry up and go check it out. The young master told us to guard this place. If anything goes wrong, we'll lose this job with a monthly salary of 10,000 energy crystals."

The two guard leaders spoke as they quickly arrived outside the abandoned altar.

Inside the altar, Gu Qing instructed Cecilia and Melissand to return to the contract space.

I have two minutes left to use my invisibility spell.

Cecilia, cracking her whip, led Melissand back to the contract space. Gu Qing put away the undead guards and quickly went to the door.

Two guard leaders opened the door to the altar chamber and came in, and Gu Qing took the opportunity to slip out.

Gu Qing quickened his pace and arrived at the outside passageway in no time.

Gu Qing passed through the passage and arrived at the broken rock that cut off the area. The concealment talisman only had one minute left to run.

Just as Gu Qing was about to jump down and leave, her heart suddenly tightened.

He saw a familiar figure in black robes.

鸦！

His eyes were fixed on him!
