"This..." Lin Jingting pondered, "I've seen it in TV dramas, there should be several modes!"
Chu Nian: "Okay, let me tell you my expectations, or rather, my requirements, for my husband. Actually, it's just one."
Lin Jingting laughed and quickly said, "Just tell me what you need."
Chu Nian: "What I want is a loyal, devoted husband."
Lin Jingting thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, after we get married, I'll listen to you in everything."
Chu Nian: "You're agreeing so readily now, but if we really get married, who knows if you'll act the same way you promised? There are plenty of people who say one thing and do another."
Lin Jingting: "Then what do you want me to believe you?"
Chu Nian tossed him the contract she had prepared earlier and said, "Sign this."
Lin Jingting glanced at the contract, then smiled wryly and said, "You think I'm some kid?"
There are actually many ways to raise a ghost child, and there are many rules to follow. One way is to sign a contract, and then the owner will bring the ghost child's remains home to worship.
Chu Nian: "Are you going to sign or not?"
"Sign! Of course I'll sign!" Lin Jingting replied with a smile. "You want to support me? I'd be more than happy to!"
He actually signed the contract so readily, which surprised Chu Nian: Didn't Lin Jingting know what signing this contract meant for him? Chu Nian was no ordinary person, but a powerful individual with strong mental strength, just like him.
Chu Nian originally thought that Lin Jingting signed the contract because he had made preparations in advance, but when she actually found Lin Jingting's remains at the burial site shown in the contract, she was even more shocked.
Whether it's a big ghost, a small ghost, or a fierce ghost, corpses are extremely important to these ghosts, just like tree roots are to a demon tree. They are special items that can be relied upon to suppress Lin Jingting.
Chu Nian stared at the crystal coffin. The boy inside looked just like Lin Jingting himself. His body showed no signs of decay, and his face was lifelike.
She couldn't help but begin to suspect that Lin Jingting might have some other scheme in mind.
Lin Jingting appeared behind her and said with a smile, "Niannian, isn't my real form just as handsome and good-looking as I am in person?"
Chu Nian: "As a demon, how can you call yourself human without feeling any guilt?" She really didn't want to talk to this guy right now. She felt like she was either already being schemed against by him or on her way to being schemed against by him.
Lin Jingting carried the crystal coffin out himself, placed it in front of Chu Nian, and said, "Here, it's yours!"
Chu Nian: "Do you believe I'll burn your remains?"
Lin Jingting: "It's yours, you can do whatever you want with it." As she spoke, she suddenly flashed a soft, cute smile again, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Chu Nian: "I say, are you going to stop pretending to be young?" She guessed that with Lin Jingting's powerful magic, his remains probably couldn't be burned at all.
Lin Jingting: "There's nothing I can do, it's because you like it!"
Chu Nian shouted angrily, "Who likes you pretending to be young?" Lin Jingting's words baffled her.
Lin Jingting smiled sweetly and said, "The Wen family's boy said that you strong women like men with gentle personalities."
Chu Nian was speechless: Sure enough, someone else taught him.
Lin Jingting continued, "And I've noticed that my personality has become more docile, and you chase me away much less than before."
Even her voice had a hint of childishness. Chu Nian was even more speechless: The reason I chased you away less than before was because you were always sticking to me like a sticky rice cake, and I couldn't get rid of you no matter what I did, so I was too lazy to chase you away. What does that have to do with you pretending to be young?
Lin Jingting's smile revealed a hint of satisfaction as he said, "Anyway, now that we've signed a breeding contract, you'll have to take care of me from now on. Look, this body of mine..." He pushed the crystal coffin closer to Chu Nian and pointed to himself, "And my soul too, it's all yours!"
Chu Nian remained silent for a while, then began to cast a spell in front of Lin Jingting, using his remains to turn him into her slave. By enslaving Lin Jingting for a period of time, she believed the original owner's resentment would diminish considerably, and she would have largely completed her mission.
To her surprise, Lin Jingting just watched silently from the side, without making any attempt to interrupt her.
Since no one interrupted and Lin Jingting showed no intention of resisting, Chu Nian quickly completed the spell and successfully made the corpse herald her.
Lin Jingting was ultimately different from the demonic tree in the apocalypse. Obtaining the tree root would allow control over the demonic tree, but obtaining the corpse wouldn't necessarily allow control over Lin Jingting. Therefore, Chu Nian also cast a Ghost Slave Contract on the corpse, a ghost-controlling technique she had found in the Celestial Master family's collection of books.
However, the prerequisite for this ghost-controlling spell is that the caster must be stronger than the ghost being controlled; otherwise, the caster will be controlled by the ghost. Chu Nian's strength is slightly inferior to Lin Jingting's, so he dared not cast the spell on him, but only on his corpse.
They did manage to control the remains, which would have some influence over Lin Jingting. However, killing Lin Jingting with this was absolutely impossible; otherwise, why would Lin Jingting have so obediently allowed Chu Nian to use this technique?
But after Chu Nian finished casting the spell, she stared at the crystal coffin and began to worry: she couldn't carry this thing with her everywhere she went, it would attract too much attention.
She then thought of the hardware again. If only she had a portable space like those mentioned in fantasy novels, she could just put the crystal coffin into it; or she could have a space ability like those in a post-apocalyptic world.
Speaking of spatial abilities... Chu Nian's heart stirred. Through the contract, she sensed that Lin Jingting also had a similar ability.
Chu Nian now understands that superpowers are actually a type of energy where mental power mutates due to external interference. Since there are spatial superpowers, mental power must also possess similar abilities.
She asked Lin Jingting curiously, "Do you know of any ability that allows one to create a portable alternate dimension?"
Lin Jingting paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Another dimension? You mean... the Ruins?"
Chu Nian thought this might just be a matter of address; they were probably talking about the same thing. So she nodded thoughtfully and said, "I think so!"
Lin Jingting: "As the Buddhists say, 'One flower, one world.' The Ruins are formed within a cultivator's own body based on this principle..."
Chu Nianqi asked, "So, the Void isn't a mustard seed space that's formed outside the body and then integrated into it?!"
Lin Jingting: "Modern scientific research has shown that many organisms are composed of cells, and humans are also organic organisms composed of countless cells. It can be said that the Void is a mustard seed space condensed by a cultivator through their own cells, so it cannot leave the cultivator's body and cannot be projected or removed like a portable space. When the cultivator dies, the Void will also disappear..."
