The moment the Nirvana Flame was formed, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The jade soul, which should have been annihilated in the chaotic torrent, began to reassemble.

The divine soul, which was originally shattered into countless tiny particles, gradually condensed and took shape within the torrent of chaotic energy.

Each returning particle emitted a faint blue light, which then formed a human-shaped jade soul.

As the jade souls converged, a scorching aura of soul energy emanated, resonating with the vast jade vortex.

This aura was completely different from the other four divine souls, but as it became more and more intense within the chaotic torrent, it subtly surpassed the other four divine souls by a significant margin!

"The soul of primordial chaos, perhaps this is what it means to live in the face of death."

Seeing the soul becoming increasingly solidified within the chaos, Qin Luo murmured to himself.

But at that moment, Qin Luo seemed to sense something, frowned, and quickly withdrew his mind from his dantian.

What came into view was Yue Lishan, whose face was pale.

She forced her weak body to raise her hand, and a faint blue light flickered in her palm. Within the light, a miniature mermaid figure floated, a unique spiritual energy fluctuation characteristic of signing a soul contract.

At this moment, Yue Lishan thought to herself, "I've gambled for so long, and now that his soul has stabilized, he should finally see my efforts, right?"

Recalling the excruciating pain when I offered up my soul, it was a torment that penetrated to the bone and tore my very soul apart.

Yue Lishan raised her eyes and quietly gazed at the human man before her. He exuded a unique aura, the aura of a powerful being, completely different from any human she knew.

Just moments ago, this man had taken her completely. Perhaps in the years to come, her heart would also uncontrollably sink deeper into depravity?

Thinking of this, a blush rose on her cheeks, and a hint of panic and shyness flashed in her eyes, as if she could already see herself deeply in love and unable to extricate herself.

It seems she wasn't particularly opposed to this outcome...

“My lord, I know this soul contract may be a constraint for you, but I assure you, I will never be a burden to you, but only your most powerful help.”

Yue Lishan repeated these words to herself over and over again, the dark blue light in her hand shimmering. "It all comes down to this last step. No matter what, I have to give it my all."

With a thought, Yue Lishan gritted her teeth and made a silent resolution: even if there was only a sliver of hope, she would seize it.

Then, the contract in her hand was pressed towards Qin Luo's forehead. Just then, Qin Luo opened his eyes and quickly reached out to grab Yue Lishan's wrist, which was pressing the contract towards his forehead.

The strength conveyed by the broad, powerful hand froze Yue Lishan's movements instantly.

Their eyes met for a moment, making the atmosphere somewhat quiet.

"Let's drop this for now," Qin Luo said first, leaving no room for negotiation.

He released her hand, looked at Yue Lishan's pale face, pale with disappointment, and her skin, which was somewhat glaringly dark, sighed softly, and turned his head to the side:

"You should go down now and get some rest to recuperate. The Soul Gift has taken a heavy toll on you, so don't let it leave you with any lasting health problems."

Looking at Qin Luo's turned head, Yue Lishan felt a surge of grievance and resentment welling up inside her. She couldn't help but silently question in her heart:

"I have given you everything I have, even my most precious chastity as a woman, without reservation. Am I really going to let you run away like this? Why did you turn your head so subconsciously?"

Her eyes quickly reddened, but she still held back her tears. "I've given so much, I was even prepared to sign a soul contract with you and give you my whole life, but what about you? A subconscious action of yours is like a knife stabbing into my heart."

Overwhelmed with grievance, Yue Lishan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her voice still choked with sobs:

"My lord, I know my status is lowly and I am unworthy of you. But do you truly see everything I have done for you? Is it because I am a mermaid, or because of my past scheming? Is it because my body makes you despise me so much?"

Her words carried a hint of questioning, a hint of resentment, and even more so, a deep sense of grievance.

She stared intently at Qin Luo, hoping he would offer an explanation, or even just a word of comfort.

However, Qin Luo still turned his head away and did not respond. This silence made Yue Lishan's heart sink completely. She felt like a discarded doll, used and then casually thrown aside by him.

Yue Lishan felt an overwhelming sense of desolation about to engulf her. She slowly pulled away from Qin Luo's embrace, her movements revealing her obvious despair.

Just as she stood up, a shimmering light appeared on her body. In the blink of an eye, a light blue dress gently covered her.

The dress was formed from the azure waters of the deep sea, shimmering with her movements and highlighting her ethereal and noble气质, like a mermaid princess living alone in the deep sea.

Then Yue Lishan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying her best to maintain her last shred of dignity. Although her voice had returned to calm, it revealed an undisguised loneliness:

"Since you have no intention of doing so, then I have overstepped my bounds. However, if you still have any needs in the future, I will do my best to help you."

After saying this, she bowed slightly and turned to walk outside.

Just as Yue Lishan turned around, Qin Luo's voice drifted from behind her:

"Since I said I would give you a chance, I won't go back on my word. It's just a matter of whether you can seize it or not."

Upon hearing this, Yue Lishan abruptly stopped in her tracks. In that instant, her heart pounded faster, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her previously dimmed eyes.

He quickly turned around, looked at Qin Luo, and said in a somewhat excited tone:

"Sir, are you sure you mean it?"

"I will certainly live up to your expectations, sir. I will do my best in the future, whether it is to cultivate and improve my strength or to help you solve your problems. I will not slack off in the slightest."

She gave a slight curtsy, her posture dignified, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with a tender affection.

Unexpectedly, Qin Luo remained indifferent, unmoved by her genuine expression, his tone carrying an unquestionable coldness:

"I told you before, you're too calculating. I did give you a chance, but it was with Nuantang."

These words exploded in Yue Lishan's ears.

Her body froze instantly, and her eyes, which had just been filled with tenderness, were now filled with blankness.

"My lord, what...what do you mean by that? I don't understand why you suddenly brought up Miss Nuantang."
