Chapter 29: Crisis Contract (2/2)

“Ah! Ying Ying!”

Meng Qing Wu charged into the room and wrapped her sister in her arms. What kind of grave disaster has befallend Meng Ying Ying. Her face is white, she was covered in cold sweat, muttering under her breath. She seemed to have lost her mind.

“What happened to you!”

Like a ghost, Meng Ying Ying did not answer.

Meng Qing Wu started to panic, “Don’t frighten me! What is going on?”

Meng Ying Ying regained her wits. Tears of despair pattered out of her eyes. “The contract...the contract has been stolen! They stole the contract!”

Contract? What contract?

Could it be!

Meng Qing Wu felt a shudder coursed through her body. In shock, she turned to Chutian who was standing beside her.

Meng Ying Ying wailed, “Chu Tian’s contract!”

Chu Tian’s face contorted in anger, “Crap! This can’t be!”

“Chu Tian, I… I’m so sorry.” Meng Ying Ying was extremely anxious. She spoke in between sobs, “I always intended to return the contract to you. I didn’t expect a thing like this to happen!”

Chu Tian’s slave contract has been stolen?

Within a slave contract is a slave’s spirit. This means that the Chu Tian’s life is in the hands of someone else. With the slave contract they can force Chu Tian to do anything. If Chu Tian were to resist, he could be killed!

Meng Ying Ying committed a grave blunder, but it is too late for regret (idiom: useless to repent after the event). “I’m not very skilled, I’m not smart, I was afraid you would leave me… because of my selfishness I held on to the contract, but I never ever planned on using it against you, truly, it never ever crossed my mind! If only I had know a thing like this would happen, I would have returned it to you!”

Meng Qing Wu also felt very anxious.

A life was at stake!

Meng Qing Wu scolded, “Why did you leave such an important object in an unprotected place?”

Meng Ying Ying felt extreme guilt. Just a moment ago they were so happy and in a moment all their hopes were extinguished.

What a difference in feeling! Like heaven crashed into the depths of hell.

Meng Ying Ying held on to the contract so she could keep Chu Tian with her. Who could have imagined that her own selfishness would cause her to lose him, that she would put him in danger.

Chu Tian has done so much for me.

Chu Tian saved the whole family.

What about me? What did I ever do!

Meng Qing Wu felt remorse at the sight of her crying sister. Her heart was heavy. From when they young, to when they lost their parent, she had never seen her in such depths of despair.

“The thief must be among those relatives. I reckon it is the Xia clan that spied on Chu Tian, discovered his unusual talents, and secretly hired these people to steal the contract.” Meng Qing Wu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing in fury. “I am also to blame for this incident, I also had the responsibility. Quickly, assemble a group of people to catch that thief!”

Catch?

Can we still catch him?

A flash of determination shone in Meng Ying Ying’s gaze. She suddenly sprung up and ran “I will bring it back!”

Meng Qing Wu, fearing her sister will do something foolish, hurriedly pulled her back. “Ying Ying, what are you doing?”

Meng Ying Ying was resolute. “This is the Xie clan’s doing! I am going to the Xie clan and demand they give me back the contract! I will do whatever it takes! Just give it back to me!”

Meng Qing Wu gave a bitter laugh. “Foolish sister, they stole the contract so they can control Chu Tian forever. It so they can keep Chu Tian’s service forever. The mistake has been made, it is too late.”

“Stop pulling me!” Meng Ying Ying struggled to get free, rushing headlong towards the door. “I am not going to let Chu Tian fall into the hands of evil people! I have to try!”

A silhouette blocked the path.

A pair of warm hands laid across her shoulders.

“Calm down.”

Meng Ying Ying was too ashamed to look at Chu Tian face to face. It was her that caused this, it was her that harmed him. Chu Tian has been so kind to her, has helped her countless times and she need not even ask, has saved her life.

But!

How can she ever repay him?

Meng Ying Ying recalled the times she had been terrible to him, and now she has put in jeopardy his life and independence!

There is no way she could ever forgive herself!

She must redeem herself, the matter the way, no matter price!

Meng Ying Ying brushed the tears off her face, she asked wretchedly, “Do you hate me?”

“Stupid girl, it’s a trivial matter. Get that terrible look off your face. You look like you are about to collapse.” Chu Tian brushed a tear off Meng Ying Ying’s face, patted her thin and weak and shoulders and led her back in, “Now stop crying. Take a bath and go to bed.”

Bastard!

This concerns your life!

Chu Tian groaned. “Forget about that bullshit contract, I never cared about it. You think that if I did they would have a chance to steal it? I, your father, have it all under control”

What?

Meng Ying Ying and Meng Qing Wu stared at him in disbelief.

In this age, a spirit contract is indestructible. When a slave is signed into the spirit contract, it means that their life is forever under the master’s control. It is unheard of to hear about a broken spirit contract.

But Chu Tian had a hundred methods at his disposal to break the contract, the easiest way is just to achieve Spirit awakening realm. He only needs to enter the Spirit awakening realm, and he will be able to steal an external body’s spirit to replenish his own.

Now that the contract has been stolen, he only has to rely on the other ways.

The extracted spirit of a beast can also be used to temporarily substitute a lost spirit.

This beast spirit is a very valuable material. It needs 2nd level beast pill to nurture. Because the preservation period of beast spirit is so short, it is hard to find in the market, particularly in Tian Nan City.

Chu Tian’s luck ain’t bad!

The Blood-Weaved Flood Python spirit came in handy didn’t it?

The contract couldn’t have been delivered to the hands of the Xie clan yet, so Chu Tian must hurry, “I have a secret ability, I can temporarily restore spirit. Give me a quiet room. Quickly, while the contract hasn’t been delivered, before we run out of time”

Chu Tian entered a room. From his chest he pulled out a blood colored beast powder.

There’s no other way!

I will use that!

Blood-Weaved Flood Python is 2nd level magical beast. He only needs to eat the Blood-Weaved Flood Python’s beast spirit, he will be able to borrow the spirit, spirit power. The spirit cut by cultivation can form a whole spirit.

The slave contract is useless now.

Chu Tian drew a talisman, first he placed the beast pill in the center, then he activated the talisman. A translucent void erupted from within the pill.

Chu Tian swallowed the beast spirit!

It has begun!

Chu Tiian has begun Beast Spirit Refinement!
