While this flower is still in its infancy, Ye Xi probably needs to take on the responsibility of taking care of it.

Ye Xi put it into a bag with soil and planned to make do with it for the time being.

Although peace returned to the scene, the destroyed trees and land could not be restored.

Charles and Xiaoyou slowly descended from the sky. Looking at the surroundings, Charles couldn't help feeling guilty.

"The power of nature is still so magical. Even the flowers have become so... unique?"

"That's more than just unique; at least it's not irrational."

The reason for the guilt is that Charles came out of the forest.

Every time she walked into an unfamiliar forest, she always felt a sense of closeness, and when she saw the scene that had just experienced a fierce battle, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Could this be the legendary magic flower?"

"Under the prolonged urging of magic, even plants have undergone drastic changes."

Ciel happened to glance at the small flower in the bag and said to Ye Xi, "Isn't this the giant magic flower?"

"Why is it so small now?"

"This is a little hard to explain. Just think of it as the new stamens that the big flower produced before it died."

Since the tenth blood moon night, Ye Xi has received two trophies.

The last time she fought the Skeleton King, she got a strange skull, which was given to her by the Skeleton King himself. She has kept it in her backpack and never used it.

Because its function is unknown, it has been stored until now.

But this time, he unexpectedly got a magic flower cub. I can only say that the future is promising, so he took it in and raised it.

"What are you going to do with this little magic flower?" asked Charles.

"Use it as a pet. Once it's fattened up, I'll contract it."

"contract?!"

Ciel sighed when he heard the word "contract".

"Huh? Ye Xi is actually a summoner?" Xiao You asked.

As a result, this time it was Ye Xi's turn to be confused. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a few seconds, and everyone had different questions.

"Ye Xi, it seems like contracts can't be used casually."

"how do I say this?"

"A contract...means to establish a relationship, like master and servant."

Xia'er blushed slightly and glanced at the air. Ye Xi didn't understand what she meant, but seemed to understand something.

"The Demon King seemed to have told me that a contract requires the consent of both parties, and the process is not complicated. All that is required is to make the corresponding oath."

"Hmm... Honestly, most of the time we elves repay our benefactors by taking practical actions."

"If a relationship develops between the male and female during this period, a contract can be established."

"As for why the contract was made, in my opinion it's because of trust and admiration, and we protect each other."

When Ye Xi heard this, she knew very well what the so-called "certain" relationship was.

Love, friendship, or even commitment to one's body, etc., the kind that means being together for the rest of one's life.

"But... if you possess the gift bestowed by the elves, you will not be contaminated by evil wherever you go."

"Perhaps the road ahead will be safer and smoother. After all, nature is omniscient and omnipotent."

Ye Xi immediately understood the concept of contract. To sum it up, it was a creature that lacked a sense of security and needed to be protected by a cradle.

"So, Ciel, you said you wanted to repay me, didn't you?"

"Huh? I think... I did say that..."

Charles seemed to have completely forgotten about repaying the debt, and a sense of foreboding came over him.

"So, Yexi, what do you need me to do?" Charles scratched his cheek with his hand and glanced away again.

"Oh no! I shouldn't have said this earlier... Is Ye Xi going to make a contract with me?"

"No... This is my first time. If I sign a contract, won't I be tied up all the time and not be able to take risks?"

Xiaer was worried that Ye Xi would ask for a contract with her, and what was even more uncomfortable was that she couldn't refuse.

"Hiss... If I make a contract with Ciel, then won't I be able to make contracts with other creatures?"

[Contracts are diverse, but also fixed.]

[For example, with Charles Felice, who belongs to the elves and possesses immortal powers, once she makes a contract with someone, that person will be unable to make a contract with someone with evil powers.]

[Immortal power and demonic power restrain each other. At the same time, the contract will trigger the fusion of power. The physique of an ordinary person cannot withstand the collision of the two forces.]

"What it means is that immortal power and evil power cannot coexist. Whichever one is better is which one."

[Yes, if you first contract with a race with immortal power, you will not be able to contract with creatures with evil power. Otherwise, you will die from the fusion of magic power. Don't try it lightly.]

[But the good news is, you don't have any magical physique, you rely entirely on flesh and blood, and will not be disturbed by the fusion of immortals and evil.]

Ye Xi stood there thinking silently, which made Xia Er feel a little anxious.

But in reality, Ye Xi was only stunned for a few seconds, and it took him probably several minutes to talk to the voice in his mind.

"Forget it. Ciel's brilliance is too dazzling. Besides, there's no confirmed relationship between us. Let her be."

"Charles, do you want to make a contract with me?" Ye Xi asked.

"Ah! Um...I..."

"Oh no... my worst fear has finally happened. What should I do? Do you want to agree?"

"But... Lord Dress taught me to repay a favor, just like the beastmen, who value friendship and loyalty. You saved me once, and I will protect you forever."

"But, that's just a legend. How could one possibly devote oneself completely to someone else?"

Charles hadn't thought about the contract at all. Ye Xi could ask for anything, but for this one, the price to pay was a bit too high.

Maybe she felt that a life with occasional setbacks was not bad. She loved adventure and was risking her life. Too much smooth sailing would be boring.

"Uh...is it still a bit forced?"

Ye Xi just asked casually, but it made Xiaer extremely anxious.

Ye Xi and Xia Er's pensive look made Xiao You, who was standing beside them, look confused. She tilted her head and looked like two different people.

"Hmm...why do you suddenly want to make a contract? Xiaoyou feels that the relationship between Sister Xiaer and Yexi is based on the contract now."

Xiaoyou's words suddenly pulled the two of them out of their contemplation.

"Ye Xi, Sister Xia Er always worries about you and scolds you, but doesn't she always forgive you in the end?"

"Sister Xia Er, although Ye Xi speaks bluntly, every word she says is for your safety. What kind of relationship would go to such lengths?"

"After you sign the contract, will you still worry about Xiaoyou?"

"of course!"

Suddenly, Ye Xi and Xia Er spoke in unison, reflecting the tacit understanding between them.

Xiao You smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it better than a contract to have a 100% tacit understanding?"

These words instantly silenced the two of them. Ye Xi suddenly realized when Xiao You became so talkative.

"Xiaoyou, is this also what Beelzebub taught you?"

"what?"

"Ah, what did you say just now? That's what Xiaoyou thought, and she said it unconsciously."

At first, Ye Xi and Xia Er treated Xiao You as a three-year-old child.

But I didn't expect that I was the three-year-old child.

"Hmm... That's strange. I'm saying it myself, but why do I find it so hard to understand?"
