Hua Shi didn't know when he fell asleep. He originally just wanted to take a short rest under the tree, but after just talking to the system for a few words, he couldn't help feeling sleepy.
When he woke up, he could no longer tell what time it was.
The sky in the Spirit Realm is different from that in the Xuanqing Continent. The colorful sky seems to have different colors at every time period, and Hua Shi has no idea what the colors are in the morning and evening.
After waking up, he did not get up immediately. He sat there and blinked his eyes, then rubbed his neck which was a little stiff from sleeping. Only then did he finally regain some energy and took the initiative to call out, "System! Are you still there? What time is it now? How long have I slept?"
Since coming to this forest and making sure that there was no one else around, Hua Shi began to communicate with the system directly through speaking, instead of just communicating with the system through thoughts in his mind.
It seems that only this kind of statement combined with tone and expression can more accurately convey his meaning.
Fang Wei had been waiting for Hua Shi to wake up. When he spoke, he immediately responded, "The host has slept for three hours. It should be almost dawn in the Spirit Realm now."
Hua Shi turned his head and glanced at the sky through the gaps in the leaves of the forest. He really couldn't tell when it actually got dark here. When the entire spiritual realm was closest to night, the sky was nothing but a dark blue with flowing light, and pink stars were constantly twinkling in the sky.
However, looking at this scene, Hua Shi couldn't help but sighed again: "This place is so beautiful."
Then Hua Shi said, "It's a pity that Liu Qishuang has never been to this forest. Otherwise, if she could use Huiguangzhu to see the scene back then, it would definitely be a beautiful sight for a beauty like her to be surrounded by such beautiful scenery."
Fang Wei: “…”
In fact, it was not what Hua Shi thought. Even if Huiguangzhu could not only see him in the identity of "Liu Qishuang" and let Hua Shi see what happened to him in this Yaoguang Forest many years ago, he could only see that he was enslaved by the evil spirits and was in a miserable state in the forest taking care of flowers and plants for him, acting as a nanny for the rabbit spirits, helping the tree spirits get rid of insects, and holding umbrellas and building houses for the evil spirits.
The Liu Qishuang in Hua Shi's imagination is always connected with romance, but the real Liu Qishuang is busy every day, switching back and forth between two identities and running around, and probably has nothing to do with romance.
Fang Wei saw Hua Shi slowly stand up and brush off the leaves and dust on his body, as if preparing to continue exploring the road ahead. Then he retracted his thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Host."
Hua Shi was startled and almost cried out: "System, you actually spoke on your own initiative? You scared me!"
It was also because Fang Wei was usually too taciturn that Hua Shi was frightened at this time. Fang Wei was helpless and amused, so he took the initiative to skip the matter and continued to talk about business: "Host, the tenth-level spiritual object you are looking for is here."
"What?" Hua Shi seemed to have not expected such a good thing to happen. He blinked and said, "I haven't even looked for it yet, but it came to me on its own initiative? Is a tenth-level spiritual creature so humble?"
Fang Wei thought to himself that it was a good thing that Hua Shi was saying this to him. If the evil spirit heard this, he wondered if he would completely forget all the conditions he had just agreed to and rush over to beat Hua Shi up.
He sighed in his heart, hoping that Hua Shi would not do anything to anger the evil spirit. He also hoped that the evil spirit would always remember the conditions he promised him and not be too impulsive and ruin things.
Thinking about the evil spirit, Fang Wei was silent for a moment before saying, "It's right in front of us now."
Hua Shi uttered an "ah" and seemed a little nervous. Fang Wei looked at him and comforted him, "Host, don't worry. Although it is a tenth-level spiritual creature, it is not too fierce."
After all, he had already made an agreement with the evil spirit. The evil spirit would at least pretend to be mean in front of Hua Shi, and if it was going to be fierce, it would probably only be fierce to him in private.
But Hua Shi was not concerned about this at all. He was worried and muttered to himself: "What does it look like? Will it be too ugly in its spiritualized state? I saw a rock spirit on the road the other day. That... I don't mean to think they are bad, but wouldn't that kind of spirit be very strange in its spiritualized state?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He suddenly felt that his previous worries were extremely unnecessary.
Hua Shi finally walked forward with a lot of strange thoughts in his mind. The grass leaves in this forest were special, some of the leaves were as tall as humans. Hua Shi slowly pushed aside the broad blue leaves in front of him, and finally saw that there was a wide open space on the other side of the bushes.
A golden stream flowed slowly through it, and silver light gently fell from the gaps between the leaves above, landing right on the stone in the center of the clearing.
And right in the center of the stone, there was a translucent white figure sitting.
The figure lowered his eyes slightly, with long snow-white hair scattered behind him, covering the ground beside him. The light golden light gave his hair a beautiful halo, blurring his eyebrows. The moment he saw him, the first thing Hua Shi thought of was that he was an angel in some mythical world in the past.
"You are..." Hua Shi stared at the white shadow bathed in light, and took the initiative to step closer to it.
Hearing the voice, the figure raised his eyes and looked towards him.
His eyes were as usual cold and arrogant, as if he was about to yell at someone at any time and anywhere, but soon, his gaze froze at that moment.
Because he saw the golden ball of light hanging beside Hua Shi.
Fang Wei had separated his spiritual consciousness early on. When he saw the evil spirit looking towards him, he immediately reminded it, "Remember to be gentle and don't scare people."
Evil spirit: “…”
The golden ball of light that Fang Wei showed and the sound he made were both communications between spirits. Hua Shi could not see it, but the evil spirit saw it clearly. His expression changed slightly. Fortunately, Hua Shi was still in a daze at this time, and his vision was dazzled by all kinds of lights, so he did not see his expression clearly.
Fang Wei then reminded: "You need to look gentle and don't raise your eyebrows, that's too aggressive."
The evil spirit clenched his fists.
Fang Wei quickly shut up when he saw this.
The evil spirit's expression relaxed, and he finally turned his gaze to Hua Shi again. His eyes were indeed much softer.
Hua Shi came into contact with the gentle and tolerant gaze of this "angel" and could not help but feel a lot of favor towards him. His steps became bolder. He walked quickly in front of the other person, looked around, and finally asked, "Um, who are you..."
The evil spirit nodded slightly: "I am..."
Hua Shi finished his words quickly: "Who are you? Do you see a tenth-level spiritual creature nearby?"
The evil spirit's words came to an abrupt end.
Hua Shi couldn't help but ask the system in his heart: "Didn't you say that my tenth-level spiritual creature was waiting here? Why didn't I see it? Who is this senior? He looks very powerful. Is he the leader of this team?"
Fang Wei sighed helplessly in his heart, and then began to appease the evil spirit whose eyes were becoming increasingly ferocious.
Hua Shi was still mumbling something, and the evil spirit suppressed his temper, raised his hand and gently touched Hua Shi's forehead, and said in a faint voice: "I am the tenth-level spiritual object you are looking for."
Hua Shi was still talking to the system. He was stunned when he heard the evil spirit's words. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Hmm?"
The evil spirit stopped talking and looked at him calmly. Although there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, for some reason this smile made Hua Shi feel cold in his heart.
He asked the system in confusion: "This... is this a spiritual object? Isn't this a person?"
He had experienced a lot in the spiritual realm in the past few days and had seen many spiritual creatures on the road. He had seen both living and non-living creatures, but had never seen a spiritual creature in human form.
Fang Wei remained calm and threw the system screen he had prepared long ago in front of Hua Shi. Hua Shi then saw his system interface suddenly flashing with golden light, and then a card appeared. Drawing on the card was the appearance of the mysterious creature in front of him, and below the card were ten yam-golden stars and its name: Tracer Elf.
Hua Shi was stunned again: "Elf?"
Fang Wei said: "Yes."
Hua Shi stared at the system interface and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of illustration is this? Can all the spiritual objects I collected be displayed like this?"
No, Fang Wei just wanted to make the evil spirit's identity as an elf look more credible and the process of forming a covenant more ceremonial, so he created this interface.
He quickly skipped over the question and reminded the evil spirit on the other side with a voice that Hua Shi couldn't hear: "It's time to start the contract."
The evil spirit had no idea what Hua Shi and Fang Wei were talking about in their minds. He only turned his gaze to Hua Shi and said in a light and ethereal voice, like the wind that lingered everywhere in the forest: "Are you willing to form a covenant with me?"
Hua Shi stared at the holy and noble elf in front of him, and said with awe in his heart: "Okay..."
The evil spirit smiled without surprise, raised his right hand, and gently tapped Hua Shi's brow with his index finger. A faint light flickered at his fingertips, turning into an ancient contract connecting the two together.
However, at this moment, Hua Shi suddenly blinked and said, "Wait!"
The evil spirit frowned and suppressed his temper and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi said worriedly, "If I make a pact with you, what will my spiritual state look like? I've seen Zhou Li and his friends make pacts with spiritual creatures before. Those Tianwen Mountain disciples made pacts with cats, and after they became spiritual creatures, they grew cat ears and their eyes became vertical pupils. The same is true for Zhou Li, he grew nine fox tails, and those who made a pact with rock spiritual creatures would wear rock battle armor. If I make a pact with you, I won't become like you, right?"
"No, your appearance won't change much, you will just have more abilities." The evil spirit explained as patiently as possible.
Hua Shi asked again: "What ability?"
The evil spirit didn't have the patience to waste time with him and just wanted to quickly end the bond ceremony and then shrink into his soul and pretend to be dead, leaving Fang Wei to deal with this noisy guy.
He said, "You will know after the contract is signed."
As he said this, he raised his hand again and was about to continue making the contract.
Hua Shi suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Wait!"
The evil spirit bent his fingers and couldn't help but clench his fists, venting all his suppressed anger on Fang Wei who was beside Hua Shi.
Fang Wei tried to shrink herself into a ball with no sense of existence, and coughed lightly, "You promised to stay calm so that you can leave the Spirit Realm."
The evil spirit's eyes were dark, and he lowered his voice and said to Hua Shi: "You say."
Hua Shi didn't feel the air pressure around him was wrong at all, and then he blinked and asked, "My senior who led the team before said that every time a contract is signed in the spirit realm, there will be movement, so the seniors guarding outside can detect who signed the contract with what spirit creature. If I signed a contract with you, the movement will definitely be louder than that with other spirit creatures, and then the whole world will know that I have signed a contract with a tenth-level spirit creature. Is it possible? I mean, there is no way you can deceive everyone's sight and make everyone not notice that I signed a contract with a tenth-level spirit creature, but an ordinary fifth or sixth-level spirit creature?"
The evil spirit's eyes became more ferocious: "What's wrong with signing a contract with me..."
Fang Wei knew the evil spirit was about to attack, so he quickly warned it, which barely made the evil spirit change its words. It forced itself to calm down and asked, "Why do you do this?"
Hua Shi said in distress, "Everyone outside is watching now. There should be very few people who can form a bond with a tenth-level spiritual creature. If they knew, I would become famous... No, no, it's too dangerous. I don't want anyone to notice me, and this way danger won't find me. I can just find a sect and be a gatekeeper disciple."
The evil spirit's expression finally changed at this time. He looked at Fang Wei in surprise and thought to himself, "Is this guy really the son of luck? How can he be so cowardly?"
Fang Wei: “…”
In fact, he began to suspect that the reason why the Son of Fortune was not afraid of danger and could survive in any situation was probably because his ability to avoid danger was too strong.
However, he did not tell the evil spirit that he, the future contract maker, would have more unexpected actions to perform.
Hua Shi's words were well-reasoned and sincere. The evil spirit was silent for a while, and finally condescended to say, "I promise you."
·
A moment later, in the Tianqing City Square of Xuanqing Continent.
A line of text slowly appeared on the light curtain above the statue: "Hua family disciple Hua Shi signed a contract with the fifth-level spiritual creature White Tiger."
Seeing this line of text, Lu Yao, who was drinking, suddenly stopped and fixed his eyes on Hua Shi's name.
Ji Yuan finished talking to the person next to him and turned around, just in time to meet Lu Yao's unusual gaze.
