Xu Ling obediently extended her right hand.
Before she could even ask how Kaopu could help her, she saw Kaopu extend his right hand.
However, its palm suddenly elongated, as if it had turned into flowing liquid, and then quickly turned into a sharp needle shape.
With lightning speed, Kaopu immediately used his right hand to poke Xu Ling's fingertip.
Before the pain even reached Xu Ling's brain, a few drops of blood appeared on her fingertips.
Blood slid down Xu Ling's fingertips and dripped precisely into the spot that Kaopu had previously pointed to.
And just like that, all of this was done inexplicably. Xu Ling withdrew her right hand and immediately cast a healing spell.
Visibly, the wound on her right hand disappeared.
Although the injury has healed, the pain has not disappeared.
Only then did Xu Ling's brain register the pain coming from her fingertips.
I never expected it to hurt this much!
Xu Ling frowned, unable to resist rubbing her fingertips, which had returned to normal, to relieve the sudden pain.
Kaopu, on the other hand, didn't even glance at Xu Ling's expression.
They completely ignored her.
To it, Xu Ling was useless now that she had finished bleeding, and it couldn't care less about her current condition.
He set it aside and flew reliably to the Moonlight Silver Wolf.
"Now it's your turn!"
Silver Wolf, however, was still in shock from what had just happened.
What did he just see?
The white cloud's hand can actually deform?!
Fei'er's gaze couldn't help but drift to her reliable right hand, her confusion growing more and more apparent.
how so? ? ?
How on earth did they do that?
Fei'er's gaze was too blatant, and Kaopu could sense it clearly.
Kaopu raised an eyebrow and asked deliberately, "What are you looking at?"
Unlike when he spoke to Xu Ling, his voice was full of emotion, but when he spoke to Fei Er, his reliable mechanical voice was completely emotionless and extremely cold.
The moments that she had previously intentionally ignored came flooding back to Fei'er's mind.
"You, you, you..."
No wonder he couldn't figure out what kind of species it was, no wonder it was so powerful that it could bring them out of the misty forest in an instant!
Fier's mind was filled with complex emotions, causing him to stammer and be unable to speak.
The reliable one didn't care how shocked Moonlight Silver Wolf was. Anyway, from beginning to end, it and Xu Ling hadn't kept anything from Moonlight Silver Wolf. It thought Moonlight Silver Wolf would figure it out quickly, but who knew it was so slow.
"Put everything else aside. You must do what we agreed on before."
The reliable man reached out and placed the contract scroll in front of the Moonlight Silver Wolf.
"Hurry up! It's your turn!"
At this moment, Kaopu's coldness and caution made Xu Ling feel as if he were a robot, expressionless and unresponsive, only doing what was programmed.
Xu Ling then realized that reliability was truly different in her eyes.
A reliable person would never use such a flat tone and indifferent attitude towards her. Of course, if a reliable person is being obnoxious, then pretend she didn't say anything.
The Moonlight Silver Wolf in front of him was clearly taken aback by the reliable person's sudden change of attitude, but since the contract had been agreed upon in advance, he did not resist.
Silver Wolf dripped his blood much faster than Xu Ling, and without any tricks, quickly dripping his blood onto the designated spot.
The contract scroll flashed with golden light and slowly disappeared into the air, thus binding Xu Ling and the Moonlight Silver Wolf together with an invisible thread.
Xu Ling seemed to be able to vaguely sense what Moonlight Silver Wolf was thinking.
"Huh?"
Xu Ling was very curious about this.
Although Kaopu could sense what Xu Ling was thinking, it still felt like this person was not quite the same as Kaopu.
If a comparison had to be made, it felt like the connection between her and Fei'er was a weaker version of the connection between her and Kaopu—Xu Ling felt she could only faintly sense Fei'er's thoughts and ideas, and it wasn't very clear.
At the moment of binding, Moonlight Silver Wolf seemed to sense something from Xu Ling, but he found it very strange.
This feeling is nothing like what the elders in the clan used to describe.
It wasn't the kind of restrictive, unfree feeling it had, nor was it the kind of feeling that made you want to escape from others all the time.
Fei'er sensed that although Xu Ling was in a dominant position in the contract with him, she couldn't control him in everything.
Simply put, unless Xu Ling's life is in danger, Fei Er is free to do whatever he wants, without even needing to consider Xu Ling.
"How could it be..."
Fei'er was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected it to be an equal contract.
"Why?"
The question slipped out.
Kaopu naturally understood what Fei'er was wondering about.
In this otherworldly continent, there is only one contract: the master-servant contract.
As the name suggests, after signing the contract, one becomes the master and the other the servant. The master has immense power, while the servant must obey the master's orders under all circumstances and must not disobey.
The servants would obey any command given by their master, even at the cost of their lives.
Moreover, after signing the contract, the servants had virtually no freedom. They were essentially the property of their master, who could decide their life or death at their whim, and even kill them if the master was displeased.
Therefore, unless one is in dire straits and has no other chance of survival but to sign a contract, no one is willing to sign a contract and let others play with their life and fortune.
This is also why Fyl initially disagreed with Thanos signing the contract.
Never entrust your life to another person.
But Fel also knew that since Kaopu had brought them here and discovered the rare treasure, the Tree of Life, Kaopu would insist that Thanos sign a contract.
No one can resist the allure of the Tree of Life; even Phil herself was stirred when she learned it was the Tree of Life.
If he hadn't known that his injuries were too severe and that he was carrying cubs, he might have risked his life to try.
However, while he could understand the reliable suggestion to sign a contract with Thanos, he still could not accept it.
So the only way to both dispel their doubts and avoid signing a contract is to keep secrets—only the dead can keep secrets.
However, having finally had another chance to live, Fei'er was unwilling to die again.
He hasn't avenged his sister, nor has he found his clansmen. How can he be willing to just walk towards death without any struggle?
Even if Fei'er is unwilling, she has no choice but to sign the contract.
Since he disagreed with Thanos being the candidate, that left only Fyl himself.
Compared to Thanos, Fyl would rather sign the contract herself.
Perhaps it was fate that allowed Kaopu to witness Thanos's foolishness, making it all the more natural for him to be the one to sign the contract afterward.
Fei'er was prepared when she signed the contract, and from then on, she would obey Xu Ling's orders.
However, he never expected that signing the contract would bring him such a big surprise. It turned out to be an equal contract. Although there was still a hierarchy in the contract, it was much better than Fei Er had imagined.
Why is that?
Fei'er was puzzled as to why such a contract, which was basically harmless to him, would be used.
