Leng Manjin suddenly rushed over and grabbed Xia Tianqiong's sleeve, "I'll sign the Human Lord Contract with you, don't go!"
Xia Tianqiong feigned surprise, "What? You want to sign a human-master contract with me? Are you doing this voluntarily?"
Leng Manjin was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, who the hell is doing this voluntarily!
But you can't say it like that, or the consequences could be dire.
It gritted its teeth and said, "I did it voluntarily."
"I didn't force you, nor did I hit or scold you. It was all your own choice. In that case, let's sign the contract!"
Seeing Xia Tianqiong's smiling face made Leng Manjin furious.
But in order to survive and avoid suffering, it could only put on a straight face and nod in agreement.
He then voluntarily signed the human master contract.
At this point, apart from the death of Li Gui, the entire Leng family's army that had advanced into the human world was now under Xia Tianqiong's control, further enhancing their overall strength.
"Alright, the contract is complete. From now on, everything you own belongs to me. Give me the teleportation talisman for the teleportation array."
Xia Tianqiong directly reached out to ask for it.
Without hesitation, Leng Manjin took out a palm-sized black wooden plaque from his pocket, which was covered with runes.
Xia Tianqiong took the teleportation token, turned around and left, while giving the deliveryman a message.
"Foreigner, please make good arrangements for our new member."
Leng Manjin was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "I've already signed a contract with you, why are you treating me like this?"
"The arrangement I'm referring to is having it arrange a house for you. Have you misunderstood something?"
Xia Tianqiong turned around and looked at it sincerely, "When I signed the contract with Li Gui of your Leng family, I agreed that I would not kill you or force you to sign the contract with me. Of course, it doesn't count if you do it voluntarily."
After saying this, he left the torture chamber without looking back, leaving Leng Manjin completely bewildered.
It stood frozen in place, stunned for a long while, then suddenly shouted in the direction Xia Tianqiong had left: "You could have just not told me, why did you have to tell me?"
It's one thing to trick people, but to tell them how you tricked them afterward is just plain stupid!
Xia Tianqiong had already stepped outside the stone house and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He disliked Leng Manjin; he wouldn't have contracted it if it weren't for its special status.
After all, he is the young master of the Leng family; he might be of some use in the future.
At that moment, the disgruntled voice of the plump old man echoed in his mind, "You human, how despicable!"
"You'd better be polite. Don't forget I'm your master now. With a single thought, I can kill you."
"Hmph! I am Li Gui, do you think you can bear to do that?"
"If you can't bear to part with him now, what about in the future? Once I have more powerful and cunning individuals, or even more powerful generals and kings, I'll make sure you die immediately."
Xia Tianqiong spoke as if joking, but the plump old man suddenly shut up and dared not contradict him anymore.
A moment later, the plump old man sighed, "Manjin has lost its memory and its temperament has changed drastically. It has become a completely different and strange creature. Otherwise, with its former temperament and intelligence, it would never have been fooled by you."
"Tell me, how exactly did it come back to life?"
Perhaps to ease tensions, the plump old man answered Xia Tianqiong's questions truthfully.
At this moment in Cheng'an City, several police cars were parked at the entrance of the toll station.
The bodies of Zhang Luyang and the other two were loaded into a vehicle and then taken to the funeral home.
The matter was quickly reported to the General Administration, and the leaders were deeply saddened. Zhang Luyang was a capable and competent officer, and it was unexpected that he would sacrifice his life the day before the Lunar New Year.
Liu Fangqin had already prepared the meal and placed it on the dining table, covered with plates. Then she held her daughter on the sofa and watched cartoons.
The mother and daughter wanted to wait for Zhang Luyang to come back before having dinner together.
As I waited, the phone suddenly rang.
After answering the phone and hearing only a few words, tears instantly streamed down my face.
As a family member of an official ghost hunter, she knew how dangerous her husband's job was and understood that he could be killed at any moment.
But when that day came, it was still hard to accept.
Liu Fangqin hugged her daughter tightly, tears streaming down her face silently.
The daughter tilted her head, her face full of confusion, and asked, "Mommy, why are you crying? Is Daddy not coming back again?"
"It's okay, Mom is hungry, let's go eat!"
Liu Fangqin understood that life had to go on, and in this era where people die unexpectedly every day, grief was of no use.
She wiped away her tears, took her daughter's little hand, and walked towards the restaurant to have dinner.
No matter what, we can't let the child go hungry.
"I don't want to eat, I want to wait for Dad."
"We won't wait for him. He has work to do and won't be coming back today."
"When will you be back? Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, is Dad coming back?"
Her daughter's words almost made Liu Fangqin cry again.
"Ta-da!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Dad is back."
The daughter took small steps and ran towards the door.
Liu Fangqin quickly chased after him, saying, "It's not Dad. He'll never come back."
As she was speaking, her daughter opened the door, and she froze instantly.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Zhang Luyang, dressed in thin clothes, picked up his daughter as soon as he entered the door and gave her a big kiss on her chubby cheek. "My baby, did you miss Daddy?"
"Of course I want to!"
The daughter kissed Zhang Luyang on his bearded face, then suddenly complained, "Mom is lying. She said Dad isn't coming back."
Liu Fangqin stared blankly at Zhang Luyang, a mixture of surprise, joy, and some panic in her eyes. "Is it really you?"
This world is full of strange things, and she was a little worried that her husband might be a monster in disguise.
