"Contract?" Yun Zheng was stunned. She thought she had misheard and couldn't help but ask again, "What did you just say?"

The friends all looked at Canglan Jingyu in shock, they also thought they had heard wrongly.

Canglan Jingyu said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Yun, I have an unsolicited request. I want you to treat me as a beastman's contract."

Yun Zheng had a complicated expression and asked repeatedly for confirmation.

"Canglan Jingyu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know." Canglan Jingyu nodded. He lowered his eyes, which were slightly red. His tone was filled with sadness and self-mockery. "My father was killed, and my clan was almost wiped out. Although I am able to survive now, it is difficult to move forward in this demon world, let alone to avenge my father."

"I've been weak and sickly since childhood, with multiple incurable injuries. I... don't have long to live. So, even if I spend all my life cultivating, I won't have the chance to personally kill my enemies."

Yun Zheng was silent for a moment, "The casualties of your sea tribe are due to Master Zhong from the underground dark city..."

"Yes!" Canglan Jingyu suddenly clenched his fists, hatred in his eyes.

When Mo Jing heard this conversation, the joyful smile of reunion on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by concern and worry.

"Yan Chen." Yun Zheng turned around and called out.

Yan Chen immediately understood, walked up to Canglan Jingyu, and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Canglan, may I take your pulse?"

"Yeah." Canglan Jingyu did not refuse.

Yan Chen took his pulse and used his spiritual power to travel within his body. He frowned and his expression became solemn because he found that Canglan Jingyu's condition was much worse than he had imagined.

Canglan Jingyu has a good talent foundation, but his physical condition is very weak. His body seems to be full of holes, and he also has the sequelae of poisoning recovery. It is a miracle that he can hold on until now.

God gave him great talents but a weak body.

Yan Chen frowned, turned his head and looked at Yun Zheng implicitly.

Canglan Jingyu took in their expressions and said, "You don't have to hide it from me. I have already accepted my physical condition. I just want revenge now."

Having said that, he looked at Yun Zheng.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I want to beg you again, can you contract with me? I am a member of the sea tribe, which is equivalent to a beast."

Yun Zheng was silent. She could actually see his current level of cultivation at a glance. His level of cultivation might be top-notch in the Holy Ruins, but in this demon world, it was not good enough. It was no exaggeration to say that any demon in the demon world could kill him easily.

The enemy he has to face is a demon!

The strength of that Master Zhong Er is even stronger than the current Yin Fansheng.

Canglan Jingyu's life span is not long. If he wants to take revenge in his lifetime, he has no choice but to take another shortcut, which is to become someone else's contracted beast.

Logically speaking, if the strength of the contract master is strong enough, the cultivation level of the beastmen under his/her contract will also be greatly improved.

Yun Zheng looked up at Canglan Jingyu and said earnestly, "Canglan Jingyu, we have known each other for a long time, and I already consider you a friend. When you suddenly asked me to sign a contract with you, I couldn't accept it for the time being. Actually, I can understand your behavior, but that doesn't mean I agree with it."

Canglan Jingyu's eyes dimmed.

Seeing this, Yun Zheng pursed her lips and said, "Canglan Jingyu, when I'm strong enough, I'll help you capture that Second Master Zhong, and then you can do whatever you want with him. How about that?"

When Canglan Jingyu heard this, he slowly raised his head. Two lines of tears ran down his sickly pale face. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with despair, grief, and brokenness.

It's so heartbreaking to watch.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, you don't understand the powerlessness I felt when my father died in front of me! Even less do you understand the glaring feeling of seeing my people's tails cut off and their blood dyeing the entire sea red! I hate my powerlessness and incompetence!"

"I want to take revenge myself, but I'm as weak as an ant..."

He burst into tears, and the corners of his pale lips twitched, looking sad and bitter.

With a plop.

He knelt in front of Yun Zheng.

His pride had been shattered on the day his clan was exterminated, and when faced with the opportunity to seek revenge, he was willing to abandon even his self-esteem.

He looked up, gazing at Yun Zheng, his eyes reddened. "Fellow Daoist Yun, I know our relationship isn't good enough for you to help me unconditionally. So, as long as you make a contract with me, I'm willing to sacrifice my soul and everything I have for you. When the day of revenge comes, Jing Yu is willing to die for you, even at the cost of his life!"

Yun Zheng's heart was shocked, and she quickly leaned over to help him up.

"Get up quickly."

But he still knelt on the ground stubbornly, as if waiting for her consent.

Yun Zheng lowered her eyes to look at him, "Canglan Jingyu, if I don't agree to you, what will your future be like?"

"As long as I can become stronger..."

She interrupted Canglan Jingyu because she had guessed what he was going to say next. Her eyes swept across his sickly face, "Okay, I agree to make a contract with you."

As she spoke, she leaned over and helped Canglan Jingyu up.

"Thank you." Canglan Jingyu smiled bitterly, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little. From now on, he was no longer an independent individual, but just a contracted beast that depended on others for survival.

Yun Zheng said to him calmly, "Canglan Jingyu, before we sign the contract, I want you to swear that you will never betray me. If you break your oath, you will be reduced to ashes and will never have a birthday."

She hates betrayal the most in her life.

Because the Demon God Li Ye had betrayed her before...

Although she sympathized with Canglan Jingyu, she was also rational and sober, and she needed protection.

Canglan Jingyu had no objection. He followed every word Yun Zheng said and swore an oath. Once the oath was established, the rules of heaven and earth came into effect.

Yun Zheng quickly signed an equal contract with him.

Since he is a merman, or a mermaid, there are no obstacles in the contract process.

As soon as the contract was concluded, his cultivation began to skyrocket.

In order to avoid being discovered by the demons outside, Yun Zheng first sent Canglan Jingyu, who was in the process of upgrading, back to the Hunyuan Tower. As for why she didn't send him to the Fengxing Space, it was because she was afraid that the cubs in the Fengxing Space would scare Canglan Jingyu.

Especially that guy Qiongqi, he will definitely talk a lot more meanly and will deliberately poke at people's sore spots.

By then, the situation will be out of control.

As soon as Canglan Jingyu disappeared, the friends' expressions were still mixed.

Mu Yin frowned, "I didn't expect the Sea Clan to be exterminated. What about the other races in the Holy Ruins?"

Nangong Qingqing shook her head, "Nothing should have happened, otherwise, Fellow Daoist Canglan would have mentioned it."

"I hope Canglan Jingyu can get revenge in the future and avenge his people." Yan Chen looked regretful and sighed softly.
