Suddenly, he had a feeling that the Leng family knew it was Chinese New Year and had specially sent him New Year's gifts.

"What about you? Do you want to live or die?"

The fifteen guards from the Leng family exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this.

The two leading evil spirits were either killed by the power of the rules or signed a contract with the human master. Their underlings dared not resist or make any demands.

After only a slight hesitation, they all obediently signed the human-master contract.

Xia Tianqiong laughed heartily; this was truly the best gift she had received for the New Year. The evil spirits in the Sealed Demon Chessboard were enough; she could start evolving a small world at some point.

However, we'll have to wait until after the New Year; right now, the most important thing is to deal with Leng Manjin.

He then collected all the strange creatures he had just contracted and drove the bus back to the Sky Island Orchard.

He took out the yellow talisman that the Ghost Bride had given him, and it lit up, indicating that Leng Manjin was currently trapped in the teleportation array.

Holding the talisman, he used his ability to walk through the void and appeared directly in the underground room.

Then, many red threads extended from the wall, tightly binding Leng Manjin and rendering him unable to move.

Leng Manjin stared wide-eyed at Xia Tianqiong, who had suddenly appeared, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly, "Leng Manjin, all the guards and Li Gui you brought have signed the Human Lord Contract with me in order to survive. You're the only one left."

At this moment, the plump old man residing in his body heard these words and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He quickly shouted in his mind, "What are you doing? You can't force it; this is clearly written in our contract."

Xia Tianqiong smiled and replied to the plump old man telepathically, "The contract stipulates that it cannot be forced. What if it takes the initiative on its own?"

"..."

The plump old man was speechless; he realized he had been fooled!

How could humans be so cunning? Playing word games!
