After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

After staying at Feixia Peak until night and eating the meal prepared by Master Hongyun, Jiang Liqian only wanted to say one thing - it was really delicious.

Compared with the senior brother's craftsmanship, there is really a world of difference.

If possible, she really wanted to have another midnight snack, but the message from her third senior sister urging her to go back had already been sent to Yupai, so she had to say goodbye and return to Zhenfeng.

Before leaving, Master Hongyun stuffed a lot of clothes and jewelry into her hands, and whispered in her ear mysteriously that she would dress her up nicely next time she came, as she had recently learned a very popular makeup technique in the mortal realm.

She said this behind Shui Lian'er's back. Afterwards, Shui Lian'er asked her what her mother had said to her. Jiang Liqian thought about it and felt something was wrong, so she told her the truth.

Shui Lian'er patted her chest, glad that she didn't keep her mouth shut.

She warned them not to think that just because her mother cooked delicious food, they would look good with makeup. They were all her test subjects. If they didn't look good, she would definitely not put them on herself. The probability of them being ugly was 99%.

Don't let her mother touch her face.

Jiang Liqian didn't understand what was going on and nodded.

When they returned to Zhenfeng, the third senior sister was still meditating and practicing. Jiang Liqian didn't want to disturb her, so she replied on the jade token, "I'm back," and then returned to her room.

Just as she opened the window and was about to get some fresh air, a furry little ball jumped in through the window gap and threw itself into Jiang Liqian's arms.

Before Jiang Liqian could see what it was, she felt a pain on her fingertips, and then she licked something wet.

"Little Golden Peach?" Jiang Liqian finally saw what it was. She hugged it and blinked in confusion. "Why did you bite me?"

What answered her was a sudden burst of golden light that filled the entire room. Beneath the golden light was a huge circular magic circle. In the center of the magic circle was a beast pattern outlined with golden lines, but because the light was too bright, she could not see it clearly.

In addition, there are very complex and ancient runes on the magic circle, which look mysterious and powerful. Jiang Liqian just looked at it for a while and his sea of ​​consciousness almost fell into it.

This golden light surrounded her and Xiao Jintao for a long time before slowly dissipating, revealing the pitch-black night.

Jiang Liqian sat down on the ground, holding the little golden peach who had licked her fingertips in her arms, but she seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and cold sweat soaked her back drop by drop.

"Xiao Jintao, you..."

If she had seen correctly, this should be a formation for forming a covenant, different from the beast-taming contract between the master of the Beast Taming Peak and the spirit beast, and also different from the master-servant contract commonly seen in the world of cultivation. It was a living creature contract that was rarely used by masters and beastmasters.

In a Beast Tamer Contract, the spirit beast acts as a companion in defense, unconditionally cooperating with the beastmaster in battle. A Master-Servant Contract, on the other hand, is a dehumanizing contract of slavery, requiring the spirit beast to live and die with its master. If the master dies, the spirit beast cannot survive. However, if the master signs the contract before the spirit beast dies, it will not perish with it.

The Living Soul Contract is different from the above two contracts. The Living Soul Contract has no restrictions on either the spirit beast or the master. It only forms a soul connection, so that each party can immediately know the whereabouts of the other party. If both parties are strong enough, they can also communicate with each other. Apart from this, there is nothing else.

Jiang Liqian knew all this thanks to the books she copied in Lanxing Pavilion in her previous life, which gave her some understanding of the art of taming beasts.

And as far as she knew, the formation plates for forming a covenant would be different depending on the level of the spirit beast. So what level did Little Golden Peach belong to?

Green represents low-level spirit beasts, black represents mid-level spirit beasts, white represents high-level spirit beasts, um... which one does gold belong to?

Jiang Liqian only thought about this for a moment, then frowned deeply. He lifted Xiao Jintao up high and held her at eye level with him: "Xiao Jintao, you are so naughty. How could you just casually form a bond with someone? Fortunately, it's a living soul bond. If it was a master-servant bond, you would be in trouble!"

Having said this, she paused, her eyelashes drooping slightly, hiding the expression in her eyes.

"Besides, I can't be a good master. I can't even be a good senior sister... I originally thought that when you grow up a little more, I would give you to a new master who can take good care of you and give you a home to shelter you from the wind and rain..."

What should I do now? The Soul Contract requires the consent of both the owner and the Soul Beast to be terminated; it cannot be terminated unilaterally.

Little Jintao didn't care what Jiang Liqian was thinking. She flapped her legs, jumped onto her shoulders, and curled up with her head down.

These days, it was being watched by Xu Youan and couldn't go anywhere. It didn't dare to bite him, so it could only lie listlessly under the table, waiting for Jiang Liqian to come and take it away.

As a result, this damn woman has not been seen for several days. Today, it finally ran out while Xu Youan was away. If it doesn't quickly form a contract with this damn woman and share the same luck with her, it will probably never be able to get close to her in this life, get some luck, and improve its cultivation.

And there was that cold little brat with a sour face all day long. No one knew what he had done to anger God and man. Not only were his meridians broken, and they were barely reconnected after much difficulty, but his whole body was also wrapped in a thick force of heaven's punishment. Tsk tsk, he was spitting blood while practicing. It hurt just looking at him, and his hair stood on end.

If it stays any longer, it will go crazy.

Anyway, this time, even if it was beaten to death, it would not go back to him.

It's right here with this dead woman.

At least it wasn't so cold and it smelled nice, making it so sleepy.

As it was thinking about this, it nodded and fell asleep.

Jiang Liqian was helpless. She had never raised a spirit beast before, and she really didn't know if it was normal for Xiao Jintao to do this. She really had to go to the library to find some books on taming beasts tomorrow.

"Forget it. When you grow up and can speak human language, I will talk to you about reason. Then I will release the soul contract and restore your free life. You will be able to find a good master."

Jiang Liqian carried it to the futon, covered it with a small quilt, then rolled into the bed, lay down and closed her eyes.

Monks usually sleep very little, and even when they do, they don’t dream. If they do dream, it must be a sign.

In her dreams, all she could see were the tragic scenes and pain of her death in her previous life, or Xinxin's suddenly hideous face and distorted body.

In fact, she didn't dare to sleep. Every time she woke up from a dream, she felt as if she had been reincarnated again, which was suffocating.

But if she doesn't sleep, she doesn't know what she can do.

In her previous life, she practiced with great difficulty, but in this life, she just wanted to lie down quietly and let others do it.

If possible, she doesn't want to be a brilliant senior sister in her life. She just wants to be an unknown little transparent person in Zhen Feng. Even if the protagonists come in the future, she won't be a hindrance to them. She and the people around her will not be eliminated just because they become an eyesore and stumbling block to the protagonists.
