Chapter 5 Contract

The tower spirit waved its little hand, and the spiritual power dissipated, turning into countless bubbles and disappearing.

"How about it?" Ta Ling raised his chin proudly: "Do you want to sign an equal contract with me?"

Ling Changge looked at it, not missing the fleeting gleam in its eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her head: "That's all you can do. I thought you were so powerful! No, no, no!"

"You woman!" Ta Ling glared at her: "What on earth do you want?"

"A contract is fine, a life and death contract." Ling Changge said calmly, "If it's a life and death contract, I can consider it."

Life and death contract?

In this world, there are three types of contracts. One is the most common equal contract. Both parties are bound by the contract and cannot do anything that violates the terms of the contract, otherwise they will be punished by heaven. Another is the master-servant contract, which is mostly a contract between humans and monsters. The last type is the life and death contract. Both parties to the contract live and die together. If there is betrayal, the contracted party will be destroyed and will not be reincarnated. This is also the most loyal contract.

Just as the tower spirit was about to retort, a strange noise came from the Burning Dragon Tower behind it. Its expression changed, and it gritted its teeth. With a hint of resentment, it whispered, "Look at you, you useless guy. Why are you so anxious?"

It turned and looked at Ling Changge, saying reluctantly, "Since the Burning Dragon Tower is willing to acknowledge its master, I will reluctantly accept it. However, there is one thing you need to know: once a life-and-death contract is signed, it cannot be broken unless you die. Even the laws of nature cannot change it. Have you thought it through? Although you are the master, if the Burning Dragon Tower shatters or I, the tower spirit, dissipate, your body will also suffer irreversible damage. Are you sure?"

Ling Changge nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, this is your own choice." As if recalling something, a flash of sadness flashed across the tower spirit's eyes. It shook its little hand, and a trace of spiritual power emerged in its palm. The spiritual power turned into a ribbon and tied it around her wrist. The next moment, a piece of spiritual crystal separated from the ribbon and floated in the air.

"Bite your fingertips." Tower Spirit reminded softly.

Ling Changge bit his fingertip hard, and a drop of blood flowed down, floating towards the spirit crystal along with the spiritual power.

"Buzz."

The spirit crystal and essence blood merged, emitting a red light. Before Ling Changge could see clearly what was in the light, the red light turned into a meteor and sank into her brow.

In an instant, a warm power was injected into the body, and the whole body seemed to be surrounded by sunshine.

Just when Ta Ling thought that her spiritual power would undergo a drastic change, the light that suddenly rose up disappeared in an instant.

"What's going on?" Ta Ling flew forward and asked, "Where's your spiritual power?"

"Spiritual power?" Ling Changge blinked and said something that made the tower spirit want to be reborn.

"I don't even have spiritual roots, how can I have spiritual power?"

Ta Ling stared at her blankly, his chubby little hands trembling as he pointed at her: "You, you, say it again!"

"I don't have spiritual roots, so naturally I don't have spiritual power. Can't you see that I don't have spiritual roots?"

"How could I have imagined that this idiot would choose a human without spiritual roots as its master?" The tower spirit took a deep breath, turned to look at the Burning Dragon Tower behind him, and said angrily: "You idiot! How did you choose your master? She doesn't even have spiritual roots! What's the point of making a contract? In her hands, your dead tower will be no better than a decoration!"

After cursing, he sat in front of the Burning Dragon Tower somewhat powerlessly, as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, Ling Changge knew that the little guy must have suffered a heavy blow. After thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and comforted him, "Little guy."

"Who are you calling little one?" it said angrily. "I've lived for tens of thousands of years, so I'm old enough to be your ancestor."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cool breeze sweeping across his neck. He raised his head, met Ling Changge's half-smiling eyes, and lowered his head silently.

"I...I'm sorry."

Ling Changge ignored it, walked to the entrance of the Burning Dragon Tower, and slowly stopped.

Ta Ling looked at her back and felt something in his heart.

Why does this figure look so familiar? It's like I've seen it before, ten thousand years ago.

"I don't know why I don't have spiritual roots, but even so, I will definitely stand at the top of this continent, even if it means exhausting all my life force." After she finished speaking, she walked straight into the Burning Dragon Tower.

Looking at her resolute back, Ta Ling felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

It took a while for it to react.

"Doesn't she have spiritual power? Why can she enter this Burning Dragon Tower?" You know, the Burning Dragon Tower is an ancient artifact. Even if it recognizes a master, not everyone can control it. If you don't have spiritual power and spiritual roots, even the master cannot enter the tower.

So, she is not a person without spiritual roots!

Thinking of this, it was extremely happy. Recalling Ling Changge's words, its face changed and it hurriedly chased after him: "You can't exhaust your life force! If you die, I can't live either!"

Ling Changge came to the Burning Dragon Tower. The tower had a total of nine floors. There was a stone pillar in the middle of the first floor. The surrounding walls were filled with cabinets. There were many bright light balls on the cabinets, but she could not see clearly what was inside the light balls.

She walked forward and stretched out her hand to take out the thing in the ball of light, but before she could get close, the ball of light shifted to the side.

"You can't catch it. Without spiritual power, you can only look at these things." The tower spirit floated behind her and placed its small hand on the ball of light. The ball of light seemed to have some perception and rubbed its hand affectionately.

Ling Changge looked at her palms. Just when she signed the contract, she clearly felt the power flowing through her body. Why couldn't she feel anything at all now?

At this moment, her eyes fell on her wrist, and a flash of light disappeared before she could catch it.

"Someone is coming." Ta Ling waved her little hand, and a force swept her away.

"To enter the space, all you need is a flash of thought."

An echo appeared in her mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back in the room.

Everything that just happened seemed like a dream.

"Little Pagoda Spirit?" Ling Changge called softly, "Are you still there, Little Pagoda Spirit?"

"What?" A childish voice sounded from his mind, with a hint of helplessness in its tone: "It's not a dream, it's not a dream."

Recalling its furious look just now, Ling Changge could guess what it looked like now.

Before the smile on her face could expand, she heard a delicate cry from the yard.

"Ling Changge! Get out here!"

Ling Changge raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Ling Ling, her second uncle's daughter.

Ling Ling is of the same age as her. She has hated Ling Changge since she was a child. It was because both of them were granddaughters of the head of the family, but Ling Changge was a waste without any spiritual roots, but was spoiled like a princess by her grandfather. On the other hand, she was superior to Ling Changge in both spiritual power and talent, and even had higher talent than her two brothers, but she did not receive any special treatment. How could she justify losing to a waste?
