Mingxi had reached a critical juncture where she had no choice but to make a decision.
But in reality, she had no choice at all.
Savior or dead person.
That's right, she didn't need to self-PUA; there was no such thing as being a sinner if she didn't contract. If Gu Guai Zhen Guan truly went berserk or became a so-called fierce Nirvana, could she still live?
So she had no choice at all.
"Guwo."
The stumbling little fellow had already pounced at her feet, looking up at her with big, bloody eyes.
It was strangely cute.
Alright, it was still creepy.
Mingxi didn't detect any malice from it, but she also didn't touch it without permission.
No matter what the future held, right now it was a genuine wild King-level Transcendent creature, possessing absolute strength that could cause her serious injury.
But she didn't step back; instead, she met its gaze and asked:
"Are you willing to contract with me?"
Although it had only been born a short while before being sealed and suppressed in the Thousand Stele Forest, it was still a small baby that hadn't had time to grow up.
But Transcendent creatures are born understanding human speech, possessing a complete language and thought system, unlike human infants who only cry, eat, drink, excrete, and sleep after birth.
It blinked its eyes and bared two rows of sharp, steel-like teeth.
Good heavens, in front of these two rows of teeth, a Megalodon was nothing.
"Guwo?"
Doesn't understand.
And in the Thousand Stele Forest, she couldn't summon a Pet Space, so without a translator, Mingxi could only figure it out herself.
"Since you agreed, then I'll begin."
Upon hearing Mingxi's words, Gu Guai Zhen Guan immediately shrieked in anger, a layer of bright green liquid appearing on its teeth, expressing its fury at her.
But its actions remained at the level of baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
There was no actual action at all.
Very good.
It was a bit fierce, and much uglier, but fortunately, it was still polite.
With the arrow already on the string, Mingxi had no room for hesitation.
She quickly completed the hand seals, and the Pet Space Descent before her.
As Mingxi was considering whether to show off and shout 'Sword, come!' to fit the scene.
"Clang!"
The sound of a Sword Key whistled.
Colorful light pierced the sky!
Between heaven and earth, it was as if a rainbow stood upright.
The Colorful Sword Key, which had been quietly standing in the space, moved with her will, flying into her right hand on its own.
This scene was both astonishing and even more incomprehensible.
Sword?
Soul Key?
"Could this be... a Sword Key?!"
David Inkle exclaimed.
It seemed that Shen Najia was not the only one who had heard of the legend of the Sword Key.
The others were like fish that had slipped through the net of nine-year compulsory education, asking soul-searching questions: "This is a Soul Key?! What is this?!"
Mingxi had already learned about the usage of the Sword Key early on.
This thing was not only amazing because it could ignore the Transcendent creature's level for contracting, but also because it didn't even need a Spiritual Contract Platform for auxiliary contracting.
It came with its own Spiritual Contract Platform.
She only needed to hold the Sword Key, stab it into the ground, then maintain her focus and activate the rules within the Sword Key to guide the Transcendent creature she wanted to contract.
If she wanted to perform a Colorful summons, it would be a bit more complex; it was said she would also need to communicate with heaven and earth herself. freewёbnoνel.com
Now, however, some strange steps were omitted.
"Hiss!"
Mingxi unhesitatingly plunged the Sword Key's tip into the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Leaves rustled, flowers and grass swayed.
A huge contract array rapidly spread outwards from the Sword Key as its center, radiating brilliant light, mysterious and solemn!
"It really is /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ a Contract Spirit Array!"
The exclamations awakened what should have been a silent night.
"What kind of Soul Key is this, after all?"
At this moment, Mingxi could no longer hear those sounds; her hands were tightly clasped on the hilt of the Sword Key, her mind completely immersed within it.
Golden halos spread out, like silk threads, like mist, like electricity.
They transformed into countless rule chains, one end attached to Mingxi's wrist, and the other end locking onto the rhomboid crystal on Gu Guai Zhen Guan's waist!
Hmph!
This Sword Key was a bit overbearing.
Unfortunately, it would be gone after use.
"Guwo!"
The two-headed creature angrily bared its teeth, clearly, the current situation was not within its plan.
It just felt that the aura on this human was very pleasant, and she seemed to be able to undo those bad things that were binding it.
After she appeared last time, it could, to some extent, counter-manipulate those bad things, but it still couldn't leave.
Those bad things had always prevented it from leaving.
So it wanted to find her, realizing that she might be the key for it to completely break free from those bad things.
Facts proved it guessed correctly!
But it truly had no intention of contracting with a human!
This Gu Guai Zhen Guan had not acquired any inherited memories, so it actually didn't know that if it left the Thousand Stele Forest, it would completely lose its mind and turn into a soulless killing machine.
So its curiosity towards Mingxi was real, and its reluctance to contract was also real.
However, the power of the contract simply could not be resisted.
It was directly dragged by the rule chains to stand opposite Mingxi, in a Float state.
At this point, Mingxi finally released her grip on the Sword Key.
"Whoosh."
The Sword Key flew out of the ground and seamlessly entered Gu Guai Zhen Guan's body.
Contract rules Descent.
It was clear that at this point, even the blindest person could see that Mingxi and that Gu Guai Zhen Guan had completed the contract.
To actually contract a King-level Pet Space directly in the wild.
King-level!
Is this world still real?
"Alright, everyone, go back to sleep."
Only Shen Najia at the scene looked relaxed.
...Vice-Principal, can the rest of us still enter this Thousand Stele Forest? Those things inside..." Yin Jiuheng looked at the vast array of materials, inevitably revealing a covetous gaze.
Even though he was the Vice-Principal of Immortal University, second only to one person and above tens of thousands at Immortal University, to be honest, he had never seen so many fresh, intact, and precious materials.
Shen Najia then remembered that the Thousand Stele Forest had changed its appearance.
"Let's talk about it after Mingxi comes out. Whether we can still enter is still a question," he said, glancing in a certain direction.
Yin Jiuheng followed his mocking gaze and saw Hai Xiaofu, who was trying to quietly enter but was bounced eight meters away by the barrier, landing on his backside.
Yin Jiuheng: "..."
Could this Thousand Stele Forest become Mingxi's personal backyard in the future?!
Mingxi, who was unaware that she was being envied, jealous, and hated by countless gazes, could now feel Gu Guai Zhen Guan's emotions.
Good heavens.
Besides anger, there was only anger!
"Owoo."
The little fierce beast had clearly adapted to its initial clumsiness, lightly hopped, and stepped on Mingxi several times, then successfully reached the top.
Then, its flexible big mouth opened and directly bit Mingxi's head.
Hmm.
It was holding it.
If it had actually bitten.
Mingxi would immediately ascend on the spot.
Mingxi's face darkened, "Little fierce beast, your saliva won't corrode my hair, will it? I don't want to be a bald girl!"
The 'weight' on her head increased.
