The contract patterns, as if alive, climbed toward Li Guang's wrist, carrying an irresistible pressure.

A pale golden light suddenly appeared on Li Guang's wrist, colliding with the contract pattern. It was the royal mark of the Merfolk deep within her bloodline, which spontaneously protected its master, shattering the contract pattern into pieces.

"It's the guardian mark of the Merfolk! Why are you unwilling to form a contract? Yu Yu is a noble phoenix!"

Huang Ling was genuinely angry, but Li Guang remained calm.

"Because of your profound cultivation, I feel insecure. Who knows whether the contract is an equal contract or a master-servant contract? You know very well that I have few resources and that it will be difficult for Yu Yu to hatch. If you make it a master-servant contract, Yu Yu will die, and I will die too. Then how can I avenge myself?"

"You! You! I wouldn't lie to you!"

"What you say is unfounded."

How could Li Guang believe that a dead phoenix wouldn't lie to someone she'd just met?

Huang Ling would stop at nothing to save Yu Yu's life.

"Do you think I would hand over my child to a foreign tribe if I had any other choice? You are simply ungrateful."

"But I don't see your sincerity."

The two sides were locked in a stalemate when the phoenix egg voluntarily jumped into the air to discuss the matter with its mother.

Not long after, Huang Ling, at the cost of Yu Yu's life, made a vow to the Heavenly Dao and signed a Heavenly Dao contract, becoming bound by the Heavenly Dao.

With the guarantee in place, the relationship between the two parties eased, and they discussed the time limit of the contract and the confidentiality of each other's secrets.

Only after everything is agreed upon will a new contract be signed.

This time, the contract patterns were a soft silver-white, slowly unfolding in the air without any sense of oppression.

See, there are still differences.

Li Guang looked at the patterns, then at the phoenix egg rubbing against her palm in her arms, and decided to treat it as if she had raised a little sister.

Li Guang stretched out her hand, forcing out her essence blood. The moment her fingertips touched the silver-white patterns, a gentle spiritual energy surged into her body.

At the same time, silver patterns appeared on the phoenix egg, closely connected with her aura.

The contract was signed.

Seeing this scene, Huang Ling let out a long sigh. Her voice was much softer, carrying a kind of weary relief, "Girl, my days are numbered. There are some things I should tell you."

Li Guang stared intently at the fiery red phoenix.

"Senior, please speak."

“Thousands of years ago, a war broke out in the upper realm, which involved Phoenix Island. I almost lost my soul in the war and finally escaped to this secret realm. It took a lot of effort to keep Yu Yu alive.”

Huang Ling's voice was bitter, "I did mine a lot of spirit stones in this secret realm and used them to nourish the egg body, but my remnant soul couldn't last long. If it weren't for meeting you... never mind, let's not talk about this."

The phoenix egg circled around Huang Ling, clearly trying to comfort its mother.

Li Guang asked, "Senior, why was Shen Ci, the black merman, able to discover my identity, while I couldn't see through his merman identity?"

Moreover, I had long concealed my merfolk aura; even the demon detectors of Xuan Yan City couldn't detect my identity. How could you and he have discovered me so easily?"

Huang Ling paused, her fiery gaze fixed on Li Guang:

"That black shark has a magical artifact that allows it to sense the location of its kind through bloodline. Logically, you should be able to sense him too, but he has hidden it using a secret technique."

I will pass on to you a cultivation technique that can completely conceal your merfolk bloodline. Unless you actively expose it, no one below the Earth Immortal level will be able to discover your identity, and even magic treasures below the Immortal level will not be able to detect it.

My bloodline's divine power allows me to see through illusions and reveal the true nature of reality. You cannot obtain this power, but I possess a self-created technique called the "Art of Seeing Through Illusions," which you can practice.

"Thank you very much, Senior Huang Ling!"

Li Guang bowed to Huang Ling; she truly needed it.
