Chapter 313 Rejection of the Contract
Taotie thought about it, a light flashed across its body, and its huge body slowly shrank.
After the light, Ling Changge fell into a pair of deep purple pupils. Those purple pupils were like crystal clear glass, like stars falling in a deep pool. His snow-white hair fell like a waterfall, and he was wearing a moon-white robe. The whole person looked like an iris isolated from the world.
Ling Changge never expected that under such a body, there was such a stunning appearance.
"Have you seen enough?"
The cold breath brought Ling Changge back to his senses.
"Tsk, what's your attitude?" Ling Changge sat on the ground and said quietly, "Tell me about it."
"There's nothing much to say. My eldest brother was captured by the demons and his life or death is unknown. The reason I made a contract with the demons was to find his whereabouts. However, I have traveled to so many places with the demons, but I haven't found any trace of him."
"What do you know about the demons?"
"The demons are now powerful enough to break the seal soon. They are just waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"Wait for an opportunity, wait for the Demon Lord's three souls and seven spirits to gather, reopen the gate to the Demon Realm and welcome back the Demon God."
"You mean, the demon god is in the demon world?"
"This is just the Demon Clan's speculation. There's no trace of the Demon God in the Three Realms right now, but the Demon God did descend into the world back then. It's just that for some reason, no trace of him can be found. Now, apart from the vanished God Clan, only the Demon Realm remains unopened. They believe the Demon God might be in that Demon Realm."
Speaking of the devil, Taotie looked at Ling Changge with a complicated expression for a moment.
"What do you want me to do?"
"If you can help me find my eldest brother, I can agree to your conditions, anything."
Seeing his determined expression, Ling Changge raised his eyebrows slightly: "Anything is okay? Even doing evil is okay?"
"Hehe, I am a ferocious beast. In my eyes, there is no good or bad. As long as it can help me achieve my goal, I will do anything." Taotie's face was full of coldness, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just said.
Ling Changge suddenly laughed out loud.
"Okay, I promise you, but during this time, you have to help me."
"I can make a contract with you."
"No need." Ling Changge waved his hand: "I don't need this kind of contract for profit. I don't need a contracted beast like you."
"Then why are you helping me?"
"Because Xiao Qiongqi is the contracted beast I recognize. Like you, he is also an ancient fierce beast, but he does not care about right and wrong just because he is a fierce beast. What's wrong with fierce beasts? You are just a little ugly, not abandoned by the way of heaven. Why should you lower your standards to think that you can also be a good person just because you are a fierce beast? No, you are a good beast."
Taotie heard this and looked at Ling Changge with a slight glint in his eyes.
He had lived for tens of thousands of years, and no one had ever said such words to him.
"You think you're a ferocious beast, so you're justified in doing evil. You're willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. You think you can rely on the demons and harm lives for the sake of brotherhood. You think you're very virtuous, but you don't realize that this is exactly what I despise about you. If you're this kind of person, don't even think about wanting to sign a contract with me. Even if you beg me to, I won't accept you."
"you!"
"Someone used to tell me that a general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. For the sake of the greater good, sacrificing some people is inevitable. But in my eyes, those who sacrifice others for the greater good are incompetent. Those who are truly capable and have integrity will only sacrifice themselves." Ling Changge glanced at him and said, "Since you are Xiao Qiongqi's brother, I will help you find Taowu, but I have changed my mind. Go away! I don't need you to follow me, and I don't need to make a contract with you. You will betray me and your teammates at any time. I won't keep someone like you around."
She ignored Taotie's slightly shocked expression, and with a wave of her arm, she threw him out of the Burning Dragon Tower. When he came to his senses, he was already a hundred miles away from them.
Ling Changge's figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Master!" Xiao Qiongqi was the first to discover her.
"Master, where is that stinky thing?"
“No more.”
No more?
Xiao Qiongqi blinked: "Master, you, you killed him?"
Ling Changge ignored him and waved his arm, directly taking them into the Burning Dragon Tower. As soon as they entered the Burning Dragon Tower, Xiao Qiongqi sensed the breath of Taotie.
He was just here!
Did the master kill him here?
That stinky thing is a stubborn person. It must be that the master wanted to make a contract with him, but he refused. Recalling the scene of the contract between him and the master, little Qiongqi pouted and looked like he was about to cry.
"He's not dead." Tata frowned, looking at his disappointing appearance, and said with some disdain: "He wanted to sign a contract with Chang Ge, but Chang Ge looked down on him."
"Where did he go?"
"Anyway, he was kicked out by Chang Ge, so he's definitely not dead. As for where he went, I don't know."
Hearing that he was not dead, Xiao Qiongqi's mood instantly improved, but Ling Changge's mood was not very good.
She didn't know what she was angry about. Noticing that her face looked a little ugly, even Jin Fan became quiet.
They walked in the dense forest for another day and finally saw the exit of the forest.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Master...Master!" Jin Xier exclaimed in shock, "Why is Master in this dense forest?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Junyao. Ling Changge paused and subconsciously bit her lip. Her nerves, which had been tense for such a long time, relaxed the moment she saw him.
Gu Junyao flashed and appeared in front of her. He frowned and looked at the blood on her clothes, his eyes full of anger.
"What's going on?"
Ling Changge shook his head: "It's okay."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Junyao's gaze fell on Jin Fan. Jin Fan stood up straight in an instant, swallowed his saliva, and told her everything that had happened in the past few days, no matter how big or small.
"You encountered the demons?"
His eyes swept over the people of Jinglan Kingdom with displeasure, and Shen Ziyuan clearly felt a sharp murderous aura.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Ling Changge was a little tired. Gu Junyao whispered, "The exit of the dense forest will not be opened until tomorrow morning. We can only spend the night in this forest."
Hearing him say this, Ling Changge nodded.
Shen Ziyuan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I guess this is the Imperial Preceptor of Luoli Kingdom. He is truly a rare talent. I am the Crown Prince of Jinglan Kingdom."
Gu Junyao glanced at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him. He grabbed Ling Changge's wrist, brushed past his shoulder and left.
