Duobao kept his head down.
She timidly raised her eyelids, glancing at Ye Ran's expression out of the corner of her eye, and cautiously said:
"Ye Ran, we don't necessarily need to take those treasures, but could you please get my blood essence contract back...?"
"A bloodline contract? You even signed that???" Ye Ran looked at Duobao with a complicated expression.
"Didn't you just tell me you ran back by yourself...?"
"They ran away...of course they ran away..." Duobao said stiffly, then added in a low voice,
"But he was caught and brought back halfway through his escape..."
"They took him back??" Ye Ran was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Impossible! Back then, you were a tortoise who traveled all over the country with Principal Bai. How could anyone catch you when you tried to escape?!"
"Who says otherwise..." Duobao sighed, a look of melancholy on his face, like that of a hero past his prime.
He raised his head and slowly recalled:
"I had already traversed into the dimensional space, but unexpectedly, a blood-red longsword suddenly appeared, shattering the dimensional space and pulling me out of that spatial river, dragging me back all at once..."
As Duobao spoke, a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.
The turtle, which had been stretching its neck out, instinctively retracted its head into its shell...
That blood-red longsword seemed to have left an indelible shadow on him.
"A blood-red longsword?? It shattered another dimension??"
Hearing this, Ye Ran was slightly surprised:
"It seems there are some experts in that transvestite country..."
"No, no, that person might not be from the Kingdom of Transvestites..." Duobao shook his head.
"When he dragged me out, I still glanced at him briefly; his clothes looked more like those of the Kingdom of Gara..."
"What about that?"
"As for how it looks..."
Upon hearing Ye Ran's question, Duobao tilted his head back and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said with a troubled expression:
"Maybe it's because it was too scary, I can't quite remember what he looked like..."
"I see..." Ye Ran murmured to herself, then turned to Duobao and said,
"Okay, I understand. We'll go there in a while and help you get back that essence blood contract."
"Really?!?!" Hearing Ye Ran agree to his request, Duobao jumped up excitedly, its huge turtle head rubbing wildly against Ye Ran's face...
"Alright, alright, I agreed, but there are conditions." Ye Ran reached out and pushed Duobao away.
Duobao was still excited: "Tell me, Ye Ran, I'll agree to anything you say!!"
"Is that so..." Ye Ran smiled, then looked at Duobao.
"I have three requirements. First, I will set up Green Dam on your communication tools, and from now on you will not be allowed to chat on some random software online."
"Don't worry, I won't even need a cell phone anymore!!" Duobao readily agreed.
"Secondly, all the treasures we retrieve after our trip to Gara will temporarily be mine."
"Ah...this..." Hearing Ye Ran's second request, Duo Bao's face showed a hint of suspicion.
"Ye Ran, you're not trying to take advantage of this situation, are you...?"
"How could this be...."
Ye Ran smiled and waved his hand, adding an explanation as well:
"I don't want your treasure; I'm just holding it for you in case you need it again. If you want any treasure in the future, just take it from me..."
Hearing Ye Ran say this, Duo Bao's conflicted expression eased slightly, and he finally nodded helplessly.
"Okay...but you have to keep those things safe for me..."
Ye Ran nodded with a smile: "Of course, don't worry. Why put it in a bank when you can keep it with me? Those places are much safer."
Just like that, Ye Ran easily gained the right to manage half of Bai Xu's wealth...
Then Ye Ran extended a third finger:
"Thirdly, it can't really be considered a requirement."
Ye Ran withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Duobao, a look of eager anticipation on his face.
Seeing Ye Ran's expression, Duobao instinctively shrank back into its shell and said timidly:
"Ye Ran, what... what do you want to do...?"
Ye Ran looked at Duobao with a smile and said:
"Duobao, do you want to recreate the glory of your past life and personally kill your enemies?"
