“Yes, it is him, my master, Immortal Lord Changli.” Chen Sangruo introduced the two, “Master, he is the old wizard of the Illusionary Domain.”

The two nodded briefly, which was considered a greeting.

Next, Shen Sanruo got straight to the point.

"I came to see the old wizard this time because of Zhu Miao. I want the old wizard to help me deal with it."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my little darling?" The old wizard's heart jumped into his throat.

It was scratching and pinching Zhu Miao's ears, looking extremely nervous.

Zhu Miao grew impatient with him and swatted him away with a paw, startling Shen Sangruo.

The old wizard covered the claw marks on his face, but laughed. "Thank goodness, you can still beat me up. Looks like nothing serious has happened."

Zhu Miao was speechless for a moment.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "Let's talk inside the Floating Cloud Pavilion."

The three people and the bear quickly entered the Floating Cloud Tower.

"It's like this, something unexpected happened. When I left the Illusory Realm before, Zhu Miao forcibly formed a contract with me, and I didn't know it at the time."

"I knew it was somewhat special, but I never imagined it was a mountain god of the Illusory Realm. I tried to break the contract with it, but I couldn't find a way to do so. I wonder if the old wizard might be able to break the contract?"

There was no one else in the Floating Cloud Pavilion, so Shen Sangruo spoke frankly.

The old wizard's expression kept changing, it was quite a sight.

Actually, when the man and the bear appeared just now, he saw a faint line connecting them, but he didn't think of it as a contract.

"You're always giving me trouble!" He poked Zhu Miao's nose.

Fortunately, it was Shen Sangruo. If it were anyone else, they would probably have tried to take Zhu Miao for themselves after figuring out her identity.

The immense power of a mountain god is incredibly tempting to anyone.

Zhu Miao was angered by the poking and opened her mouth to bite. The old wizard anticipated her move and quickly withdrew his finger, then patted his chest in fear.

He said to Chen Sangruo, "On behalf of the entire Illusory Realm, I thank you for not hiding this matter."

The old wizard paused, then said, "However, please do not reveal Zhu Miao's identity to others. Although it is a mountain god, its mind is not much different from that of an ordinary demon beast, and it is easily harmed by those with malicious intent."

Zhu Miao is a mountain god and a creature of the Illusory Realm. As a representative of the creatures of the Illusory Realm, it has always maintained its simple and pure nature.

If Shen Sang knew that the old wizard's worries were not unfounded, Zhu Miao was indeed powerful, but the malice and greed that bred in people's hearts were limitless.

Once exposed, no one knows what methods they will use to deal with Zhu Miao, so it's best to be careful.

"Don't worry, old wizard. Zhu Miao has been my contracted beast for so long, and she's my first contracted beast. I don't want to see her get hurt," Chen Sangruo said earnestly.

She truly cherishes this black and white dumpling.

The old wizard said no more, swept his divine sense over her, and began to try to break the contract between her and Zhu Miao.

Xiao Zhumiao was still angry, so she curled up into a ball and turned her back to the old wizard.

Although she appeared silent, Shen Sanruo's mind was filled with its questioning voice.

"Why, why, why?"

"You've changed your mind. You don't like bears anymore. Has your heart been stolen by another beast?"

"Why should the contract be terminated? No, no, no!"

At first, the little guy just felt that she was warm and wanted to hang on her, so he formed a bond with her.

But later on, its feelings for Shen Sangruo deepened, and since she treated it very well, it had truly accepted her.

Now that she has more and more contracted beasts, if it breaks its contract with her again, it will be completely forgotten and will no longer be a priority in her life.

No way!

Even if a contract is formed, it doesn't affect its ability to protect the Illusory Realm. It doesn't understand why Shen Sangruo insists on breaking the contract with it.

It said that its coercive contract could not be broken, not even by the old wizard.

Sure enough, the old wizard tried several methods, but all to no avail.

His brows furrowed together. "It still doesn't work. I guess only it can break this contract itself."

The old wizard leaned close to Zhu Miao and poked its rear end repeatedly, his voice sounding like he was about to cry, "Little ancestor, just break that contract."

Zhu Miao still ignored him, but Chen Sanruo sensed through the contract that the little dumpling's mood had become somewhat smug.

Now we can only persuade Zhu Miao to let it release itself.

She picked up the little dumpling and realized that it couldn't suppress the smile on its seemingly angry face.

Zhu Miao: Hehe.

Old Wizard: No, not at all.

Zhu Miao thought that this time, just like last time, she could get away with it by acting cute, rolling around, and being a rascal.

However, Shen Sangruo's mind was made up to terminate the contract, and she could not back down any further.

“Zhu Miao, be serious. I’m not joking with you this time.” She said in a serious tone, “You are the Mountain God, and you have the entire Illusionary Domain behind you. You have a great responsibility and cannot become anyone’s contracted beast.”

The little dumpling was also unhappy, and with a sullen face, she asked her why they couldn't form a contract, since the two didn't conflict.

Shen Sangruo then explained to it one by one, "With this contract, you and I are one entity, and we shall share the benefits and losses together."

"Leaving aside the benefits, what about the harm? If someone hurts me, you will also be hurt. Those with ulterior motives can directly target you and the Illusionary Realm by targeting me."

She's still not strong enough; targeting her is much easier than targeting Zhu Miao.

"It was the same in the Starry Plains. That great demon extracted my soul, which also affected you. Although it didn't cause any consequences this time, what if something happens to me later..."

Zhu Miao pouted and covered her mouth with her paw, preventing her from continuing.

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw! That's bad luck! She won't get into any trouble.

Shen Sangruo removed its claws and continued, "The evil cultivators' conspiracy is now shrouding the cultivation world, and it could suddenly erupt at any time."

"Zhu Miao, the Illusory Realm needs you."

Her voice was unusually serious; she had never spoken to Zhu Miao like this before.

Zhu Miao is just a little simple-minded and a bit obsessed with some things, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.

After listening to Shen Sangruo's words, it understood the importance and urgency of the matter, and that protecting the Illusory Realm was its most important duty.

After a long silence, he finally nodded to her.

Since a contract cannot be dissolved, it can only be transformed into something else.

Zhu Miao's eyes revealed intense reluctance. With a determined heart, she began to change the contract.

It retains its connection with Shen Sangruo's soul and can still communicate through their souls, but everything else has been separated, making it two independent entities.

Shen Sanruo felt a sudden emptiness in her sea of ​​consciousness, and the feeling of Zhu Miao leaving was very obvious. After that, she was no longer her contracted beast.

She was also feeling bad.

But that's all we can do.
