Chapter 172 Signing the Contract



Following the instructions of the Time-Space Beast, Nanqu entered the primordial time-space.

Just as Nan Qu had expected, when she asked Bai Ze if he was willing to sign a contract with her, the other little beasts all ran over chattering. Nan Qu couldn't understand what they were saying, but she could tell they were very eager. Their expressions were exactly the same as when they were crying for food before.

It was only under Regal's suppression that the contract was finally able to succeed.

After Nan Qu made a contract with Bai Ze, she saw the other four little ones looking dejected and lifeless, and Nan Qu couldn't help but laugh.

The Time-Space Beast had said that as long as it didn't die, she could live forever. Therefore, she didn't need to worry about whether they would have any memory of her after she grew old, got sick, or died.

Even if she dies in the end, she will only break the contract and set them free. She will not restrain them.

Furthermore, they could break the contract at any time in the future if they wished. However, after breaking the contract, they could only return to their original timeline. Otherwise, it would cause chaos in other timelines.

Nanqu regretted it as soon as she made the contract with them.

It's too noisy.

Before, they could only whisper in her ear; now they can whisper in her head.

The key thing is, this time she could understand what they were saying. And, to her amusement and exasperation, the first thing each of these little guys said after successfully forming a contract was, "Master Mom, Bai Ze is a big bad guy!"

"Master Mom?" So that's what these little guys call her in private?

For a moment, Nan Qu had the illusion that she had gained several more children.

In her first life, she had no children. In her second life, she found a baby girl on the border and raised her. Unexpectedly, in her third life, she not only has Nanxing, but also these five children from other species. This feeling is truly quite complicated.

As for the four little ones complaining, Nan Qu pretended not to hear them. Because Nan Qu knew that if Bai Ze was wronged, they would be the first to object.

Although she didn't know how to raise children, she understood that one shouldn't show favoritism, especially when there were many children. At the very least, she knew she had to be fair. Because favoritism would cause the child you favored to be disliked by the other children, and the other children would lose their original affection and harmony because of your favoritism.

After forcibly quieting them down, the other little ones also knew that Nan Qu signed the contract in order to get Bai Ze's help, so they didn't make a fuss about following Nan Qu when she disappeared with Bai Ze in her arms.

Once again, back in that era, Bai Ze looked at his shrunken master and glanced at Nan Qu with a puzzled look, and then he understood everything.

Nan Qu sighed inwardly, "Truly worthy of being called Bai Ze."

"Little White, do you see the skeletons here? Some of them belong to the same kind as Master's mother, and I want to take them home. Can you help me find them?"

Bai Ze glanced at the skeletons in the cell, then looked around in confusion before suddenly taking flight. The next moment, the lightning bolt symbol between Bai Ze's brows lit up.

Just when Nan Qu thought Bai Ze would come in to help her, she saw Bai Ze jump onto her forehead and stick a lightning bolt symbol between her eyebrows.

"Master, they want to talk to you."

them?

Nan Qu felt a tremor in her heart. What hadn't she seen? The only thing she hadn't seen was something so unscientific.

But when she thought of those heroic predecessors, she was no longer afraid.

When Nanqu opened her eyes again, she was startled; the place was actually filled with "people."

However, humans and ghosts are different, and besides, those people wouldn't allow other "people" to harm her.

"What are you doing here, kid? It's too dangerous here! Go home!"

"That's right, you little rascal, didn't you just leave? Why are you back? This is a place for bad people. You should leave before they find you."

Looking at the dozen or so people wearing the same military uniform as Zheng Jianmin, Nan Qu's eyes reddened.

“Don’t worry, I’m very capable. Besides, there’s no one else outside. I came here to take you back. Uncle, Grandpa, could you take me to identify your remains? I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell them apart.”

They have been trapped here for a long time, unable to leave. Returning to their hometown has become an obsession for them.

Now that they heard the little guy say that, how could they not be tempted? However:

"What are you doing touching these things, you little kid? It's scary. You should leave. We're fine here."

"Yes, we've all become ghosts, it's the same no matter where we are."

Before Nan Qu could say anything, Bai Ze suddenly spoke in her mind: "Master, they're lying. They're about to disappear. This world doesn't allow ghosts to stay for too long. If they don't go back to be reincarnated soon, they'll disappear."

Nan Qu panicked: "I'm a medical student, I'm not afraid of skeletons." To convince them, Nan Qu used her small stature to squeeze into the cell.

"We don't have much time, so don't waste your time."

Seemingly realizing that Nanqu wouldn't back down, they were finally moved.

“I am right under my feet.”

Nanqu Heixian hurriedly stepped aside, quickly changed his clothes, fully armed himself, put on gloves, and placed the first skeleton outside.

It took Nanqu two hours to place all the remains outside, including the one clutching the five-pointed star.

Nan Qu, unsure if some souls had already dissipated, asked Bai Ze.

With Bai Ze's help, she collected the other skeletons as well. Even if some of them weren't the remains of heroes, she planned to take them back as long as they were from China.

Nanqu counted them; there were 21 bodies in total.

She then went to the magical world and had a carpenter make 21 coffins. Upon returning, she carefully placed each skeleton inside.

And on each coffin were written their names, the army they belonged to, and where their hometown was.

As for those whose souls had already dissipated, their names were also written down with Bai Ze's help. When she returns, the heroes will go back to their units, and she will help the others find a good place to be buried.

After confirming with Bai Ze that nothing had been missed, Nan Qu put the coffin directly into her spatial storage.

However, those souls cannot enter the space.

“Take down the plaque from your house’s door inside your space. They can temporarily enter that area.”

Nanqu immediately did as the Time-Space Beast said.

However, upon seeing that plaque, Nan Qu was speechless.

The plaque containing the soul can no longer enter the space. In other words, is it realistic for a four-year-old child to carry such a large plaque back?

Besides, this is Little Fatty's house. If she goes out like this, she'll be spotted right away, right?

"Your door plaque can be removed, so why don't you just take it off?"
