C64 (1/2)

I had originally thought that with the hair provided by the Old Granny and knowing Qiyou's name, it would be easy for me to successfully draw her spirit body, but what I didn't expect was, this Qiyou actually had a devilish body and devilish face.

However, the important part was that just as I was about to officially begin imprinting Qiyou's soul, she suddenly made a request, and that is to make a deal.

I really don't understand what kind of deal this weasel ancestor and I can make.

However, since she had already spoken, and since I couldn't compare to her in terms of strength, I had no choice but to agree.

Thinking about this, I asked her, ”Trade, what deal?”

A strange smile appeared on her face, causing my scalp to go numb. After leisurely walking a few steps, she gently said, ”My Huang family is on the brink of extinction, and the protection I can provide for them is too limited, so I can't use it for real. So, I hope that you can help me continue to protect the younger generation of the Huang family, what do you say?”

Hearing this, I was shocked. You want me to protect the weasel family? How can I protect them?

Besides, I only have a few taels of strength, how can I guard it?

Thinking about it, I could not help but hesitate, and remained silent for a long time, while Qiyou did not seem to be anxious, and quietly stood at the side.

After thinking for a long time, although I was a little afraid, I still hesitantly said, ”It's not that I'm not willing to protect you. It's just that it's hard for me to cry out by myself.”

In my opinion, although those words might have angered her, but it was no ordinary matter. Moreover, this weasel clan was an extremely troublesome existence. I thought that it would be better to say some ugly things first, otherwise, if I were angered, they would make things difficult for me.

”Hehe.” At this moment, she started to laugh strangely again. She quietly looked at me and said, ”Since it's a deal, of course we have to pay. I haven't said my conditions yet. Why are you so busy refusing?”

”Condition?” Hearing this, I was shocked. That's right, how did I forget about this? The so called 'not setting an eagle until I see a rabbit'. The rabbit on her side hasn't even lit up yet, so why am I so flustered?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sweat profusely. It seemed that my experience in the martial arts world was still too shallow.

”Yes, conditions.” Qiyou no longer gave off a strange laugh, she looked down at me and said: ”The protection I'm talking about is not to make you do nothing, but to lend a helping hand when you encounter the life and death of my Huang Clan.”

Hearing this, I heaved a sigh of relief. This phrase sounded ordinary, but there were two words I could clearly hear, and that was ”met.” One had to know that there were many tall buildings everywhere, and the amount of wilderness the weasel needed to survive in was getting smaller and smaller.

Actually, at this point, I had already completely agreed to her request. However, since she hadn't put her conditions forward yet, I wasn't in a hurry to speak of it.

Qiyou then continued: ”Actually, this matter will benefit you in the end, but not you in any way. As long as you agree to my request, I will agree to become your 'Guardian Spirit', what about that?”

”Guardian Spirit?” My heart couldn't help but pound. You know, 'Soul Protector' is an existence equivalent to twenty-four hours worth of bodyguards. If I had such a God by my side, wouldn't I be walking with my back to him?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in my heart. I even started to secretly imagine the beautiful life she would have after following me.

However, this thought only flashed by, the so called ”There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world”, for Qiyou to suddenly pay such a huge price, could it be that she just needed a guard like me?

I couldn't help but hesitate a little, afraid that this transaction will exceed my control. Thus, after thinking for a long time, I still didn't speak up. In the end, when even Qiyou couldn't sit still anymore, she urged me: ”Soul Painter, have you thought about it?”

However, I was still unable to make up my mind. But then, Qiyou said again: ”Although you are currently very weak, but I believe that with my support, if you want to reach the peak of Soul Painting, it won't be too difficult for you. It must be because you have a bone in your body.”

To be honest, before she said this, I had been trying to find a reason to lie to her. However, when she mentioned it, my heart was moved. Or rather, under these conditions, I had completely fallen.

However, out of caution, I still asked, ”Are you willing to support me?”

”Hehe.” She raised her jade-white hand, and continued to speak, ”Soul Painter, you are really interesting. As your spirit guardian, as long as it is not an excessive request, I will naturally satisfy all of your needs.”
