Chapter 69 Soul Contract? This works?!
Xie Chuanfeng said he wanted to make a deal with Xiao Jiu.
These words left not only Xiao Jiu but also Qianchuan Suanni and the others somewhat bewildered.
Suanni immediately looked at Taotie in Xiao Jiu's arms. After finding that Taotie did not react at all, he flicked his tail and walked over, saying in a relaxed tone, "Human, you've got some nerve."
Qian Chuan squatted down to explain to Xiao Jiu what "making a deal" meant.
The Suanni bypassed them, squatted down directly in front of Xiao Jiu, and looked at Xie Chuanfeng: "What do you want to trade with Xiao Jiu?"
At this moment, Xiao Jiu also understood what Xie Chuanfeng meant by what he said earlier.
So he looked up at Xie Chuanfeng and said, "Chuanfeng, listen, Xiao Jiu."
As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, Taotie, Qianchuan, Fuyu, and the system all turned their gazes over.
When a cultivator reaches a certain level, even their gaze has weight.
Even if the other party meant no harm, Xie Chuanfeng, who was only at the Golden Core stage at the moment, still felt as if something was pressing tightly against his chest.
Xie Chuanfeng did not back down again.
He took two steps back, knelt down before Xiao Jiu, and performed a deep bow: "Please allow me to leave first. After I have slain all the demons in the world and rebuilt the City of Ten Thousand Demons, I will return here and obey your orders."
He added, "I am willing to offer you my soul in exchange for your life, and I will never go back on my word."
The Soul Contract is a contract mostly used between cultivators and demonic beasts, but since it was developed by human cultivators, it is almost always a contract where the human cultivator is the master and the demonic beast is the servant.
Xie Chuanfeng's intention was clearly to do the opposite.
However, the key point of this contract is that once the soul contract is signed, the servant party cannot break it even if they ascend to heaven, unless their soul is completely destroyed.
This is considered a very strict contract between cultivators.
However, after waiting for a long time, Xie Chuanfeng still didn't receive a response from Xiao Jiu.
He looked up nervously, but he couldn't see Xiao Jiu at all.
At that moment, the white short-haired cat sitting to his right was covering its face with its paws, looking like it couldn't bear to watch.
Xie Chuanfeng turned his head in confusion toward where everyone's gaze was focused, and saw that the grayish-blue child was lying on his left, curled up and looking at him with his head tilted to the side.
Xie Chuanfeng: "...?"
As Xie Chuanfeng slightly straightened his upper body, Xiao Jiu, who was lying next to him, also moved.
He moved his palms and then propped himself up a little, looking like a kitten stretching.
Xie Chuanfeng was completely stunned.
At that moment, Qianchuan walked over and stopped behind Xiao Jiu.
He placed his hands under Xiao Jiu's armpits and then picked her up in his arms.
Qianchuan picked up Xiao Jiu and put her feet on the ground, then lowered his head and said gently, "Xiao Jiu, your clothes will get dirty. Didn't you want Grandma to see what you look like wearing this outfit?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu immediately stood up straight and carefully patted the dirt off her body.
Qian Chuan opened the small bamboo tube hanging from his waist, took out a wisp of water, and quietly washed away the mud spots on Xiao Jiu's clothes. Meanwhile, a small flame drifted over silently, providing warmth to Xiao Jiu's clothes.
This interruption brought Xie Chuanfeng back to his senses.
He showed no embarrassment or resentment at being ignored, and simply calmly repeated what he had said before.
The Suanni yawned.
He did a classic cat stretch, then squatted down and looked at Xie Chuanfeng: "But the problem is, we have no use for you."
Suanni's words were somewhat cruel to Xie Chuanfeng, but they were the truth.
Xiao Jiu's current pets even include the divine spirit Zhu Jiuyin, or at the very least, rare demonic beasts and spirits. Once a spirit is leveled up, even if its intelligence isn't high, its strength will be at the level of a great demon.
Xie Chuanfeng, being just a human, seems to be of little use.
Xie Chuanfeng calmly said, "Qinglin Sect was once famous for using puppets to assist in battle. I am a cultivator with a wood spirit root, so I can refine spiritual plants into plant spirits and use them for my own purposes."
He explained, "I can control those plants that are called alien flowers."
Non-human beings: !
Fu Yu's eyes widened: "So, you can stop the mutated flowers from chasing us?"
Xie Chuanfeng replied, "Yes."
Suanni also perked up: "Then can you control those flowers to sprout out on their own, and then line up to be sold by Xiao Jiu?"
Xie Chuanfeng was taken aback by this description.
He raised his hands and made a hand seal gesture. As a light green dot flashed across his fingertips, he looked up and said confidently, "Yes."
All non-humans: !!
Isn't that just one-click automatic harvesting?
The harvest of low-level mutated flowers is saved!
Suanni suddenly turned its head to look at Xiao Jiu, its amber round eyes almost gleaming.
This is definitely a good option!
Xiao Jiu didn't think about the harvest flowers. He just ran forward a few steps, squatted down, and looked at Xie Chuanfeng's hands curiously.
A few seconds later, he tilted his head to look at the other person and said excitedly, "Chuanfeng's hands are glowing! Chuanfeng, awesome!"
Xie Chuanfeng's eyes widened for a moment, then his whole face softened.
He made another hand seal, and as his fingertips moved with a mysterious rhythm, a wisp of refreshing spiritual energy emanated from his hands.
The spiritual energy condensed into the shape of a green butterfly and landed on his fingertip.
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in surprise: "Wow!"
Seeing that Xie Chuanfeng had conjured up another spirit bird, Suanni said helplessly, "Little Nine."
Xiao Jiu turned around and loudly replied, "Xiao Jiu is here."
Suanni sighed and repeated Xie Chuanfeng's words in a simplified version, then said, "Xiao Jiu, if you agree, it would be better to let him go back now."
After all, the two worlds have different flow rates; a minute's delay here means several days have already passed in the other world.
Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, then blinked and looked at Xie Chuanfeng.
Before he could say anything, Xie Chuanfeng said, "I will come back, I definitely will."
Xiao Jiu didn't really understand what "Xie Chuanfeng returning to that world" meant, but he could understand the word "return".
He tried to reach out and gently grasp one of Xie Chuanfeng's fingers, saying earnestly, "Little Ninth."
Little Jiu's little head can only hold so much.
He didn't remember anything about a soul contract or anything like that. He only remembered that Xie Chuanfeng was going home and would come back here after a while to conjure up butterflies to play with him.
So when Xie Chuanfeng knelt down in front of him and touched his forehead with his finger, he just stared blankly at the other person.
To the other non-humans, a drop of bright red blood was originally suspended on Xie Chuanfeng's fingertip, but with his light tap, that drop of blood seeped into Xiao Jiu's skin.
The soul contract has been formed.
[Ding—Congratulations on obtaining a new pet]
[Quality: Average]
system:? ? ?
The other four "pets": ? ? ?
This works?!
Xie Chuanfeng was still bewildered, not knowing where to begin criticizing the Suanni, and simply wiped his face with his paw: "Alright, it's fine."
It's really good.
Originally, Xie Chuanfeng's return to that world was a near-death experience. As a Golden Core cultivator, even if he was lucky enough to successfully cross the spatial passage, it was still unknown whether he could survive in that place overrun by demons.
But now...
At worst, when you're near death, just go into your pet space, where your health will automatically be locked, and you definitely won't die.
The system then led the way, with Xie Chuanfeng following behind, and the two quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
The Taotie pushed open the lid of the crystal coffin with one claw: "Add water! Add water!"
Qian Chuan, holding a stream of water, walked over from Moon Lake: "Xiao Jiu, which kind of seed do you want to soak first?"
Xiao Jiu thought for a moment, then stammered, "Shao...Shao..."
Suanni: "Pronounced 'peony'."
Xiao Jiu followed along, saying, "Peony."
Meanwhile, Fu Yu glanced at Xiao Jiu and Qian Chuan, who were preparing to soak the flower seeds, and then looked in the direction where the system and Xie Chuanfeng had left.
He remained silent, lost in thought.
Because this eternal night world has a spatial gap, it is not difficult to temporarily open a spatial passage, as long as you have enough points.
In addition, since Xiao Jiu and Taotie had also traveled to that world before, the system had data to refer to, and it finished in no time.
When it returned, it kept muttering, "So the pet system can even create spacetime anchor points..."
"Spacetime anchor point?"
The system was startled by the sudden sound. It turned around sharply and met a pair of eyes that glowed with a light blue light.
System: "Awooo..."
The system's head was pressed down by one hand, and its chin was held down by another. Those two hands clamped its head tightly like a pair of pliers, physically silencing it.
After the hands released their grip, the system looked at the other party speechlessly: "How did your strength become so great?"
Fu Yu smiled sheepishly: "It was in a severely injured state before."
Henggongyu is, after all, a well-known monster. When Fuyu was half-human and half-fish, there was nothing that could be done about how weak he was.
Not only has it recovered, but its level has also increased by almost thirty levels, although it is quite different from when it first arrived.
The system doesn't dwell on being startled, nor does it have any concept of small talk, so it simply asks directly, "What do you need?"
Fuyu: "I want to ask you about the spacetime anchor point you just mentioned."
After the system translated the explanation into words that Fuyu could understand, it concluded: "Simply put, it will allow you to accurately return to this place and avoid getting lost during your journey."
After the explanation, the system asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"
They've known each other for over ten years, and among this group of non-humans, only Suanni has ever asked similar questions, so the system thinks that Fuyu is acting extremely abnormally right now.
After a few seconds of silence with her eyes lowered, Fu Yu looked directly at the system and said, "Actually..."
An hour later, under the fairy tree.
After listening to Fu Yu's entire explanation, everyone asked in bewilderment, "Huh?"
