Chu Xiaoling smiled faintly, then her face was full of worry again: "Although this is a good thing, I know it's because you have an agreement with the old palace master. In short, it was Brother Ye Qiu who helped me get out of danger."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Qiu said, "You risked your life to confess to me that you wanted to betray the Supreme Temple. How can I betray your trust?"

"So, does this count as a two-way journey?" Chu Xiaoling asked.

"A two-way journey?" Ye Qiu asked in surprise, "Xiao Ling, do you have special feelings for me?"

"Can't we do it this way?" Chu Xiaoling asked.

"Of course not."

"No," Chu Xiaoling hurriedly said, "Brother Ye Qiu, I've already said I want to serve you. I don't care about anyone else but you."

I'm willing to follow you because I want to be with you for the rest of my life, even if it's just being a shadow behind you.

For this reason, I even stole a secret martial arts technique.

"What kind of secret technique?"

"Shadow Technique," Chu Xiaoling whispered mysteriously, "Shadow Technique can turn you into a shadow, or make you invisible."

In other words, once I sign a contract with you, I can freely merge into your shadow; your life is my life, your death is my death—that's shadow magic.

“Evil magic cannot be practiced. You are you, unique and irreplaceable. You don’t need to be anyone’s shadow,” Ye Qiu said solemnly.

"How could that be? I think it's great." Chu Xiaoling said sweetly, "As long as we succeed, I can follow you around all the time, Brother Ye Qiu. Don't worry, I will never be a burden to you, and I will never interfere with your personal life. It doesn't matter which woman you want to be with, I just want to follow you."

“No.” Ye Qiu refused firmly: “I’ll say it again, you are unique. You can follow me, but you don’t have to do this.”

"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Ye."

Chu Xiaoling nodded vigorously.

Immediately, she reached out and took Ye Qiu's hand.

Just as Ye Qiu was taken aback by Chu Xiaoling's action, Chu Xiaoling suddenly bit Ye Qiu's middle finger.

Ye Qiu's finger was immediately bitten and blood seeped out.

Chu Xiaoling took a breath and then immediately sat down cross-legged, silently reciting a mysterious scripture.

In the blink of an eye, a beam of light shot out from between Chu Xiaoling's eyebrows, disappeared into Ye Qiu's eyebrows, and vanished.

What did you do?

Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat.

He vaguely felt that he could control Chu Xiaoling's primordial spirit, but this feeling was not very obvious.

But one thing is very clear: Ye Qiu can sense Chu Xiaoling's emotional changes.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoling was extremely excited.

She stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, now you are my master."

"What nonsense is this?" Ye Qiu asked in astonishment.

Chu Xiaoling said, "The contract is complete. I am now your shadow."

How to put it? It's similar to the contracts between humans and demons. Some powerful demons will recognize someone as their master, and then this life-and-death contract will be formed. Shadow magic is like that, but it can only be established between humans.

"Untie it quickly." Ye Qiu said very seriously, "I told you, you can't do this. If you don't untie it, I'll kick you out immediately."

“Once the Shadow Technique is successfully established, it cannot be dispelled unless I die. Besides, I cannot stray too far from you, or my primordial spirit will be severely damaged,” Chu Xiaoling said. “If you really hate me that much, then I will leave.”

"you..."

Ye Qiu got angry.

But looking at the pitiful Chu Xiaoling, Ye Qiu was at a loss for what to do with her.

"Brother Ye, don't worry, I really won't make things difficult for you, and it won't affect you in any way."

Moreover, I can hide in the shadows and appear instantly when you need help, launching a surprise attack on the enemy.

Chu Xiaoling said.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll definitely find a way to resolve this later," Ye Qiu said.

Okay.

Chu Xiaoling's happiness was no longer concealed.

The two walked forward together, gradually relaxing.

However, they hadn't gone far when a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Get out of the way, everyone get out of the way, don't block the way."

Ye Qiu turned his head and saw a group of people riding strange beast mounts, rushing towards him at high speed.

On the busy street, people quickly made way for each other.

"Oh no, Brother Ye, it seems to be someone from the Xuanyuan family."

Chu Xiaoling's expression changed drastically.

"Did the Xuanyuan family arrive so quickly?" Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Without a doubt, someone inside the Supreme Temple notified the Xuanyuan family, most likely Lu Ming,” Chu Xiaoling said.

"Don't be afraid, let's see what they're up to first." Ye Qiu said coldly.

In the blink of an eye, the group of people approached, numbering seventeen.

Of the seventeen people, the two leaders were both at the Cave Dharma Realm.

"You must be Ye Qiu? I am Xuan Yuan Zhan Dao, the grandfather of Xuan Yuan Jing Tian. You must pay for the killing of my grandson in blood today."

An old man drew his long sword and stared at Ye Qiu with murderous intent.

“Father, don’t waste your breath on him. He dared to kill my son, and I will kill him with my own hands.”

The middle-aged man beside him, his eyes bloodshot, charged toward Ye Qiu with a spear in hand.

"kill."

Xuanyuan Zhandao did not hesitate and immediately led his men to join in the attack.

Two Cave Realm cultivators, plus seventeen Divine Seal Realm cultivators—this is an extremely powerful force.

As Xuanyuan Zhandao and the middle-aged man opened their magic caves, their powerful auras immediately locked onto the area.

With the assistance of more than a dozen Divine Seal Realm experts, the people nearby were immediately shocked and retreated, their expressions changing drastically.
