Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Liu Weiwei reached the other end of the molten lava and disappeared from Ling Yun's sight.

Lingyun walked to the edge of the lava.

The temperature here is indeed ridiculously high, but it has no effect on Lingyun whatsoever.

After crossing the lava, Lingyun felt a force trying to pull her in. She did not resist and let it pull her in.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a stone chamber.

It was somewhat dark around us.

She couldn't sense Liu Weiwei's presence or that of the demon race.

Just as she was about to illuminate the surroundings, as if knowing her needs, the stone chamber was illuminated first.

The stone chamber was larger than she had imagined, but it was completely empty except for her.

[Watch out, boss.]

Just then, the system issued a warning, and Ling Yun sidestepped, brushing past something he couldn't identify.

The other creature seemed unwilling to let Ling Yun dodge it, and charged at Ling Yun again. But the next second, Ling Yun grabbed it, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free.

Ling Yun then realized what it was.

Spirit beast egg.

The spirit beast egg was very dissatisfied with Ling Yun's actions, and instantly, its entire body was ablaze with iridescent light.

[Boss, this is the divine beast egg.]

"Ah."

Ling Yun examined the divine beast egg.

The flames on this guy's body are no ordinary thing.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been reduced to ashes the moment it released the flames.

Looks like this guy has quite a temper.

Then, Ling Yun felt a sharp pain in her finger, followed by the spirit beast egg seemingly sucking her blood.

Ling Yun quickly threw the spirit beast egg out.

"Little guy, do you have a death wish?"

This body now belongs entirely to her.

Her blood is not something anyone can absorb; even a single drop could cause someone to explode and die if they are not careful.

The spirit beast egg obviously didn't care about anything else; it instinctively realized it hadn't absorbed anything and was furious.

Up and down, left and right, it made Lingyun dizzy, so he immediately fixed it in place.

The spirit beast egg tried to break free, but was powerless to do so.

[Boss, something's not right with this spirit beast egg.]

It didn't encounter this divine beast egg here in its previous life either.

How is this going?

Many things have begun to deviate from what happened in the previous two lives.

Lingyun did not answer it.

This spirit beast egg is definitely not right; it's not some kind of baby spirit beast egg.

Instead, severely injured, he instinctively wanted to find a kindred spirit with whom he could form a contract, using the power of the contract to slowly heal his wounds.

"Little guy, I'm not your contract master."

Unfortunately, the spirit beast egg's body was damaged, and now it acts entirely on instinct, completely ignoring anyone's words.

Ling Yun was also somewhat helpless.

"Xiao Heizi, go and bring Ling Wanrou to me."

This thing is a divine beast after all. Instead of just watching it lose its life, we might as well give it to those little guys through a contract and help them improve their strength.

Ling Wanrou was the closest person to her in the vicinity.

The system didn't ask any questions and went directly to find Ling Wanrou outside the system space.

"Little guy, did you take that human somewhere else?"

She couldn't sense Liu Weiwei's presence.

However, the spirit beast egg clearly could not answer.

So when the system brought Ling Wanrou here, she saw a person and an egg facing each other in a stalemate.

"Ancestor."

She was originally searching for rare and precious materials in a cave with the Ling brothers, Ling Jie and Ling Chu, but as they walked, she lost track of where she was and became separated from the others.

But later on, she always felt that something was calling to her. Before she could answer her questions, she saw the little black guy next to the ancestor.

"Here you come, make a cut on your hand and put it on that egg."

Ling Yun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Wanrou's lips twitched as she looked at the egg.

Its surroundings were still illuminated by firelight.

Even though Xiao Heizi gave her some kind of elixir, it made her feel less hot around her.

But seeing the flames surrounding the spirit beast egg filled her with a sense of fear.

Not to mention her, even the system didn't know how to react.

"Ancestor, are you sure I won't be burned to ashes?"

Ling Wanrou swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

She's probably going to be burned to ashes before she even touches the spirit beast egg!

"Don't worry, you won't be burned to death, at most you'll just lose a layer of skin."

Ling Yun said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Ling Wanrou's lips twitched involuntarily.

Listen, is this human talk?

To survive but be skinned alive?

Just thinking about it makes me wince in pain.

But looking at the old ancestor's expression, he was clearly not joking.

What should she do? She suddenly regretted coming along.

Looking at the spirit beast egg again, he unconsciously looked at the ancestor.

My heart skipped a beat.

Fight.

The ancestor said he wouldn't die.

Besides, judging from the ancestor's temperament, this spirit beast egg is definitely not simple, otherwise the ancestor would not have allowed her to form a contract.

Ling Wanrou opened her palm and slowly approached the spirit beast egg, a scorching heat instantly washing over her.

The next second, before she could even think, she was pulled in front of the spirit beast egg by a force, and her hand was stuck to the egg.

The flames instantly enveloped Ling Wanrou, and she felt an indescribable pain that spread throughout her body, a pain that reached her very soul.

Every inch of skin felt as if it had been cut by a knife.

Instinctively, she wanted to pull her hand away and escape, but she found that her hand was firmly attached to the spirit beast egg and she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did.

She felt her blood constantly draining away.

She could even smell the aroma of roasted meat.

Even Ling Yun licked his lips upon smelling it, thinking to himself: Today is the perfect day for barbecue.

At this moment, Ling Wanrou had only one thought in her mind: that her ancestor had tricked her.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, my soul is the guide, and with your blood, we forge a pact. From this day forward, my life is intertwined with yours, and your life and death are intertwined with mine. We will live and die together. Are you willing?"

Just as Ling Wanrou was about to faint from the burning power, a heavy voice entered her ears.

There was no time to think; he instinctively squeezed out three words through gritted teeth.

"I...am...willing."

"With my soul and your blood, the pact is made."

Whether Ling Wanrou heard it or not, she could no longer bear it and fainted.

Then a beam of light enveloped her and the spirit beast egg.

While unconscious, Ling Wanrou felt as if she were in an endless abyss of darkness.

She anxiously searched for direction in the darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling beam of light enveloped her. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a place surrounded by flames.

She felt no heat at that moment.

A red light in the distance drew her in, and she walked forward involuntarily, but no matter what she did, she could not reach it.

Suddenly, the beam of light flew toward her at high speed, almost invisible, and entered her body directly.

Instantly, she felt her veins and bones burning.

This time, however, she did not feel any pain.

Then she felt a continuous flow of spiritual energy flowing through every meridian in her body.

boom!
