Entering the Secret Realm
The little fox looked at Song Cha with eyes full of dissatisfaction and accusation.
Song Cha: “……”
“Little fox, do you not want me to sign a contract with the cat demon?” Song Cha asked.
Hearing Song Cha’s question, the little fox seriously nodded its head.
Song Cha belonged to it, and it didn’t want Song Cha to sign a contract with anyone else, especially a life-bound contract.
Seeing the little fox nod, Song Cha was not in a hurry. She looked at the little fox gently, her tone carrying a bit of helplessness: “Little fox, I must sign this contract.”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, the little fox’s eyes widened in shock. It didn’t understand why Song Cha said that this contract must be signed.
Seeing the little fox’s confusion, Song Cha began to patiently explain: “Little fox, I am only at the Golden Core stage, but the secret realm we’re entering may have cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage, which is really too dangerous.”
Saying this, Song Cha couldn’t help but lovingly stroke the little fox’s head: “Little fox, I don’t want you to get hurt, nor do I want to get hurt myself. Let’s sign this contract for our safety.”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, the little fox was stunned.
It wanted to say that it could protect Song Cha, wanted to say that it was actually at the early stage of the God Transformation period, and with such cultivation, it could definitely treasure hunt in the secret realm.
But… it knew what it looked like in front of Song Cha now. Was it really okay to reveal its true identity now?
The little fox hesitated.
And in the few seconds that the little fox hesitated, Song Cha had already pressed the drop of blood she forced out onto the cat demon’s forehead.
Perhaps because it was pressured by Chu Man, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul period, the cat demon didn’t resist. Song Cha quickly signed a life-bound contract with it.
And just when the little fox finally decided to reveal its God Transformation identity to prevent Song Cha from forming a contract with the cat demon, it saw that Song Cha and the cat demon had already successfully concluded the contract.
Little fox: “……”
Seeing this scene, the little fox’s mentality somewhat collapsed.
What a frustrating scene this was.
The little fox covered its eyes with its paws, not wanting to say a word. It never imagined that in just a few seconds of contemplation, Song Cha had already signed a contract with this cat.
But… the little fox knew clearly that this was not Song Cha’s fault. It was all because it didn’t reveal its true identity to Song Cha, which led her to sign a contract with this cat demon.
Song Cha didn’t notice the little fox’s mental breakdown.
Having signed a contract with the cat demon, she approached it, showing concern, “Cat demon sister, have you eaten? Let me treat you to a meal.”
The cat demon was cold and indifferent, paying no attention to Song Cha. Seeing the cat demon’s cold attitude, Chu Man was somewhat dissatisfied.
A mere Golden Core pinnacle cat demon dared to ignore Song Cha. However… this dissatisfaction was fleeting, and Chu Man quickly regained her composure.
She suddenly felt that it was good for the cat demon to ignore Song Cha. Initially, Chu Man felt nothing towards the cat demon.
But when she brought the cat demon to Song Cha, and Song Cha took the initiative to sign a life-bound contract with it, Chu Man, although outwardly calm, was actually displeased with the cat demon.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed not good for the cat demon to treat Song Cha so coldly. But now that they had signed a life-bound contract, the cat demon would surely try its best to help Song Cha to avoid being hurt or punished by the contract.
The life-bound contract was invented by humans. Although it’s called a life-bound contract and seems fair, it actually favors the human side more.
When humans are injured, they can freely transfer the injury to the contracted demon beast without its consent.
However, if the demon beast is injured and wants to transfer the injury to the human, it must obtain the human’s consent.
Moreover, if the contracted demon beast dies, the human only suffers minor injuries. But if the human dies, the demon beast suffers a severe blow.
So… the Lifebound Contract is actually a biased contract that favors humans and is not fair.
And this is also why Chu Man could agree to Song Cha signing a contract with the cat demon.
Therefore, under the Lifebound Contract, it is impossible to dissolve.
Even for its own sake, the cat demon must protect Song Cha.
And in protecting Song Cha, being cold to her doesn’t really matter. Perhaps being cold to Song Cha will make her dislike the cat demon.
The thought of Song Cha not liking the cat demon, having only the coldest contractual relationship with it, made Chu Man somewhat happy.
Song Cha was unaware of Chu Man’s inner thoughts.
After greeting the cat demon, she wasn’t upset by its coldness. Instead, she turned her attention to the two beautiful women beside the cat demon.
Although these two were beautiful, they were slightly inferior to the cat demon.
“Dear sisters, please take care of us when we reach the secret realm,” Song Cha said to the two beautiful women.
The two women nodded together, agreeing.
Chu Man handed the Eternal Life Secret realm tokens to the two women and used a magical rope to ensure Song Cha and the others held onto it, preventing them from getting separated during the transmission.
“Cha’er, you guys start cultivating,” Chu Man said. With so many people around, even if she wanted to get closer to Song Cha, she had to consider Song Cha’s dignity.
Hearing Chu Man’s words, Song Cha continued to cultivate.
In the days that followed, Song Cha was immersed in cultivation.
While she was deeply encrossed in her cultivation, she suddenly felt a pulling force.
Song Cha opened her eyes and saw the Eternal Life Secret realm token in her hand glowing.
Clearly, the Immortal secret realm was about to open.
Song Cha placed the little fox in her arms and held onto the magical rope given by Chu Man.
A whirlwind of motion ensued.
When Song Cha felt the suction disappear, she found herself in a lush forest. Clearly, this was the Eternal Life Secret Realm.
After confirming her location, Song Cha looked around. Beside her, the cat demon and two beautiful women were all holding onto a rope, and the little fox in her arms was still nestled there.
Seeing this, Song Cha breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Now that she had brought everything she could for safety, she didn’t have to worry about safety issues and could also obtain the treasures within the secret realm.
Perhaps it was because of the life-bound contract, the cat demon, although still looking gloomy and cold, seemed somewhat cute to Song Cha.
The other two beautiful girls also had Golden Core peak cultivation, and Song Cha didn’t know their ages. However, since they could enter the secret realm, it meant they were under thirty.
Being a Golden Core peak cultivator under thirty was already a great honor.
“Sisters,” Song Cha looked obedient and cute, “I’m only at the early stage of Golden Core cultivation, I’ll have to rely on the two sisters from now on.”
The two Golden Core peak cultivators looked somewhat arrogant, completely losing the gentle demeanor they had in front of Chu Man. The woman in green raised her head arrogantly and said, “You are Master Chu Man’s disciple, we will naturally protect you. However, you must be obedient.”
Song Cha: “…”
Seeing the woman in green’s arrogant demeanor was not surprising. When Chu Man went to find people, they might be obedient and compliant.
After all, Chu Man was a peak God Transformation cultivator, the most powerful elder in the sect, and a master alchemist.
And she. .. was just Chu Man’s disciple. But, is that really the case? Song Cha remembered the way she used to talk cheekily in front of the girls, suddenly feeling a bit nostalgic.
