Kulonan looked at Bai Hao and then at Xing Lili, his expression turned serious: "You must remember, my child, Shou Kui is not your guard or servant. In the Campbell family, this child is your family and partner forever."

Cullen looked at Xinglili, his eyes softened: "From today on, you are Xinglili Campbell, and I, Cullen Campbell and Aisha Campbell, will be your father and mother."

Cullennan spoke in a soft voice, with the elegant tone peculiar to aristocrats, and two simple sentences consisting of a few simple words were difficult for Xing Lili to understand.

But soon, she chose to accept it at the first opportunity. She had to do so because her life belonged to the Campbell family from the moment she was rescued by General Aisha from the black market of the Omo Empire and from the hands of those mentally ill and dirty-minded nobles three years ago.

After a moment, Xing Lili reacted, wagging her tail, and saluted Count Cullennan with joy.

Bai Hao felt a little confused. After all, Beast Kui was usually just a better means of protection in other places. After the contract took effect, Beast Kui was absolutely loyal to its master, but his father still recognized his Beast Kui as his daughter, which made Bai Hao a little confused.

Kulonan saw Bai Hao's doubts, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and sighed softly: "I once also had Shou Kui, no, he was my brother, always has been."

Bai Hao had never seen his parents' beastly beasts. His mother came from a humble background and had never had a beastly beast when she was a child. However, as his father was the heir of the Kulonan family, he must have had a beastly beast.

"My brother's name is Will, Will Cullennan. He was seriously injured and died while trying to protect me many years ago." Count Cullennan emphasized the name of Beast Kui, his eyes filled with sadness.

Elsa was ready at this moment. She came over with bottles and a piece of parchment. She shook her head at Cullennan who was lost in his memories and said to Bai Hao with a smile, "Your father was not like this before. I knew him when he was a child. He would not be so kind to Will at that time."

"When your father was a child, he was a well-known playboy in Campbell County. He had a bad temper and went out to get into trouble every day. Will suffered a lot at that time. He always followed your father around and cleaned up his mess." Elsa said as she fiddled with the tools used for the contract.

"I was only a teenager at that time. Although my family was not poor, they were not rich either. Your grandfather saw my talent for magic and sponsored me to study at Campbell Academy. At that time, your father was older than me, but I always crushed him in the magic tests at the academy. He was so angry that he kept studying magic and challenged me every now and then. Naturally, he had no time to cause trouble. People in Campbell said that I was the one who locked your father, the beast, into a cage, but your father couldn't beat me even if Will and he joined together, so he wanted to defeat me somewhere else."

"Your father was very smart and he eventually surpassed me in the theoretical exam that only required paper and pen. At that time, your father was so happy that he even held a banquet and invited all the apprentices who were studying in the academy at that time to attend."

Elsa saw her father still reminiscing about the past, so she continued slowly, "Later, we both graduated from school, I joined the army, and your father and Will went out to do business. Your father had already started pursuing me at that time, but he was stubborn. In order to deal with him, I made him swear a vow that he would never take a concubine. This was almost impossible for aristocrats, but your father actually agreed to it, and he has never broken his promise to this day."

Aisha looked at Cullennan's melancholy profile with a gentle and somewhat distressed look in her eyes.

"At that time, your father would always bring me gifts when he came back from his business trips. Will would always help your father carry all kinds of big and small items with a smile. At that time, your father no longer regarded Will as just a beast. He even consulted Will's suggestions when writing love letters to me." Elsa recalled the past and couldn't help laughing.

"But your father was killed on his way back from a business trip, and I was sent by your grandfather to rescue him."

At this point, Elsa's tone turned cold, and she looked at her father with some sadness and said, "When I got there, your father was covered in blood, but that blood was not from your father, but from Will on his back. Although there were hundreds of people on that trip, some of them went to other places. Your father and Will only brought a small number of guards back first. Those damn, greedy and lustful bandits saw that your father was well-dressed and had few guards with him, so they had evil intentions."

"At that time, robbers always killed everyone without leaving any survivors. Your Uncle Will fought to the death with the robbers and protected your father at all costs. Your Uncle Will's bravery scared the robbers. After Will killed several wandering high-level wizards among them and the robbers got the property, they let your father and Uncle Will escape. Will protected your father very well and he hardly suffered any serious injuries. But Will himself died on your father's back because of his serious injuries. Your father carried Will on his back until he saw us and didn't know how long he had been dead. At that time, when I approached your father, he kept begging me to cure Will."

At this time, Cullennan finally came back to his senses from the grief of the past and sighed: "After Will died, I held a grand funeral for him. Despite your grandfather's strong opposition, I changed his name to Will Campbell."

"Until now, I still feel that it is too late to give the name Will Campbell. Will has been my brother, my family, and my best friend from the beginning. He has never been a beast." Cullen looked at Bai Hao and said in a tone full of regret.

Bai Hao understood that in his father's eyes, there was never any Beast Quwell, only his brother named Will Campbell.

Father, I don't want to experience the pain of regret again.

Then, Bai Hao looked at his father with a firm look: "I understand. From today on, Xinglili Campbell is my sister."

Then Bai Hao took Xing Lili's hand and said softly, "Sister Lili."

Xing Lili's eyes were moist, and she had already been immersed in the story told by Aisha and Cullennan. When she heard Bai Hao's intimate address, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!"
