The Demon Mother was unusually angry for some reason, and was on the verge of exploding.
Xia Tianqiong took two steps back, becoming wary, when the other party suddenly asked, "Are you willing to sign a contract with my child?"
"What?"
Xia Tianqiong was full of doubts, "You want to sign a contract with me? What kind of contract?"
He sensed it carefully and indeed found a strange aura surrounding him, which was the power of the contract.
This strange infant is probably a gluttonous ghost, because Xia Tianqiong can provide food containing the power of the underworld, so he wants to form a contract with it.
The Ghost Mother looked at Xia Tianqiong with a gaze full of inquiry and scrutiny, "Ghost Lord Contract."
"Are you kidding me? Why should I acknowledge it as my master?"
Xia Tianqiong snatched the strange infant hanging around her neck. "Here's your child back. I've completed my mission and didn't trigger the death rules. Neither of you can do anything to me!"
The terrifying aura emanating from the Ghost Mother suddenly vanished, and she returned to her previous appearance.
It originally intended to scare the person in front of it and force him to sign a contract with its child, but it couldn't scare him at all.
"You know a lot about our strange things?"
"Of course, I have a strange thing inside me, otherwise how could I obtain food containing the power of the underworld?"
A human and a ghost are having a conversation, but the ghost baby is not behaving itself.
It kept babbling and calling out, and then it started crying loudly.
The wicked mother frowned, then suddenly sighed, "Then let's sign an equal contract!"
Summer was overjoyed.
The Ghost Baby can teleport between shadows. This trick can be used not only to escape but also to launch surprise attacks, making it incredibly useful.
Just as he was about to agree, a thought suddenly struck him, and he straightened his face. "Why should I sign a contract with him? Does he want to cling to me and make me take care of him?"
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Mother's eyebrows shot up. "Since you understand us ghosts, you should know that after making a contract, you can use its Shadow Teleportation technique. This is a ghostly technique that all ghosts and humans yearn for. How can you still not be satisfied?"
“I know, but I don’t accept an equal contract. If we’re going to sign one, we’ll sign a human-master contract, where I am the master and it is the servant.”
"You bastard, you're asking for it!"
Suddenly enraged, the evil mother's white dress turned blood red in an instant, and her originally pretty face began to bleed from her seven orifices, making her look extremely terrifying.
"ah!"
Jiang Yu, who was behind him, screamed in fright and her pants got wet.
Xia Tianqiong coldly laughed and said, "Alright, stop with your act. If you dare to touch me, you don't need to make such a big fuss."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Mother paused for a moment, her eyes growing increasingly venomous, but she managed to suppress her terrifying demeanor.
"Human, I can see your greed. You desperately want to contract my child, yet you're trying to bargain with me here. I won't let you succeed."
The mother, holding the infant ghost, turned and left.
Xia Tianqiong hurriedly called out, "Don't go! You said you'd bargain, so why don't you bargain?"
The mother of the ghosts didn't want to pay attention to him, but the baby in her arms kept crying, which annoyed her.
Most importantly, its offspring are too young to eat people. To grow up quickly, eating food imbued with the power of the underworld is the best option.
It also hopes that the child can stay with this human for the time being.
"A human-master contract is impossible. Your lifespan is finite, while my child's lifespan is infinite. If you die one day, my child will die with you."
"In that case, I'll compromise and still sign an equal contract, but you'll have to give me some compensation."
"You treacherous human, so you wanted my hair after all."
"Hehe, you're the ones who need my help, so it's only right that you ask for some benefits!"
Xia Tianqiong grinned, not worried at all about the deal failing.
The mysterious mother hesitated for a moment, then said, "Here's another one for you."
"You're so stingy!"
Xia Tianqiong turned and walked to the sofa, sat down by herself, and patted the seat next to her, "Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."
The ghost mother didn't say anything, but sat down beside him with her child in her arms.
Jiang Yu stood there, stunned, unsure whether to leave or stay.
She couldn't understand how Xia Tianqiong could bargain with a ghost. It sounded like he knew a lot about ghosts.
"Big sister, I need your hair to save my life. Now that you strange creatures have descended upon us and are everywhere, I'm in danger at any moment. If you give me more hair, I'll be safer, and your child can stay with me. What do you say?"
Is human greed always so justified?
The Ghost Mother stared into Xia Tianqiong's eyes, clearly not fooled by him. "Hair is related to my own strength, so I can't give you too much, at most three strands."
"It seems you don't love your child. You need to give me at least 30 sticks to prove you love him."
"We have no love in our strangeness, at most five."
"No, there may be no other strange things, but I can tell that you definitely have them. Motherly love knows no kind or human nature, at least 20."
The ghost mother suddenly looked confused, then said, "10."
"15 strands, that's all. It's pointless to argue over a few strands of hair."
The Ghost Mother glared at Xia Tianqiong and said, "If this is meaningless, why are you still arguing?"
In the end, the human and the ghost reached an agreement: the ghost infant and Xia Tianqiong signed an equal contract, and the ghost mother gave him an additional fifteen strands of hair.
“You human being, treacherous, greedy, and shameless, but you are also bold, meticulous, courageous, and resourceful. My child following you might not be a bad choice.”
You must treat him well. I may come looking for you at any time. If I find out that you are not treating him well, even if it violates the rules of the Ghost Realm, I will still kill you.
The mother of the ghosts personally handed the ghost infant to Xia Tianqiong's arms, uttering harsh words, but her eyes were filled with deep reluctance and affection as she looked at the ghost infant.
