Chapter 10

  "Yes!" The nine-headed ice king snake nodded hastily.

  "If I were to make a contract with you, and it could only be a master-slave contract, would you agree? If not, then leave! I won't let you follow me." Huo Zui Mei's eyes flashed with a fierce intent: "Don't even think about having any crooked ideas, or I'll definitely make you regret coming to this world."

  His icy and bloody words made him shudder, the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake fell silent for a few seconds, and a flash of struggle appeared in its snake eyes. As the most noble and pure-blooded Nine-Headed Ice King Snake among all snakes, should it really form a contract with a "small" human?

  Wouldn't that be a loss of face for being a divine beast?

  The nine-headed ice king snake struggled for half a sound, but in the end it still couldn't bear to part with the beauty in front of it. In fact, it couldn't say why either. Anyway, there was a voice in its mind that kept saying, follow her, must follow her...

  "Alright, I agree to the contract." The last of the nine-headed Ice King Snake said through gritted teeth.

  Huozui nodded, and then looked at Feng Qiexia who had been pulled into his arms by him. Just as he was about to speak, however, Feng Qiexia beat him to it and shouted: "Don't!"

  She didn't want such a dirty snake as her fantasy beast. As soon as she saw its sly eyes, she felt uncomfortable all over.

  If she could beat it, she would have made a snake soup out of it long ago!

  Huoxiu sighed: "It's just a six-star divine beast, you might as well take it!"

  "I won't!"

  "With it around, protecting you, I'll feel a bit more at ease." Just thinking about the scene where Feng Qiujie was almost sucked dry of blood by the man-eating vine earlier made his heart inexplicably tighten.

  "But I don't want to see it, and after the contract is signed, it will follow me every day. I won't even be able to eat." Despicable things are despicable, no matter how you change them! Although she admitted that the nine-headed ice king snake's strength was astonishing, its "snake" nature was really too poor, Feng Qiye didn't want to humiliate herself.

  Everyone is stunned! The difference in tolerance was so small that it almost fainted from shock.

  That's a divine beast! A divine beast!

  The six-star divine beast that is hard to find in the world! It's actually been despised by people to such an extent, has this world gone mad?!

  A certain nine-headed ice king snake was grinding its teeth in hatred, and the certain man-eating vine that it had bitten into its mouth was squeaking and crying out in sorrow!

  At the same time, his heart was roaring with anger. That dead girl must be sick. Even the divine beast didn't know what to do. Didn't she know that a pure-blooded nine-headed ice king snake like him was rarely seen in the world? Not only did he disdain to make contracts with humans, but even if he were to make a contract with a human, it would be the human who would treat him as a god and offer sacrifices to him.

  Who would have thought that this dead girl would say...say that she can't even eat her rice! Ah......she really wants to swallow her whole!

  It suddenly revealed a fierce glint in its eyes, and in an instant, a sharp gaze swept over, its entire demeanor changed in that moment.

  After staring at it for a moment, he turned his gaze back to Feng Qiye, seeing her stubbornly pursing her small face, with an expression of absolute refusal to compromise. He couldn't help but sigh, and then leaned in close to her ear, speaking softly.

  Even if the nine-headed ice king snake stood up straight and tried to eavesdrop, it couldn't hear clearly. At this moment, he glared at Huo Zui with hatred: You little scoundrel, you're full of evil intentions, what are you plotting with that beauty now?

  But it instinctively thinks that there is no good news.

  As expected, Feng Qi's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Huo Zui's words, and his gaze towards Jiu Tou Bing Wang She also turned evil, causing it to involuntarily shiver with a chill.

  Coming down from Hu Zui's arms, Feng Qiujie helplessly sighed: "Alright! I've decided to take you in!"

  The nine-headed ice king snake was overjoyed, and from then on, he could see the beauty every day! It's great, and immediately it said with a smile: "That beauty, let's make a contract!"

  Feng Qi nodded, a sly glint flashing in her eyes. This dead snake, she thought, would be interesting to see how it would be controlled after signing the contract with it. However...

  "How does one make a contract?" Feng Qiniu asked with some embarrassment.

  Everyone sweats, cold and dripping.

  They are the elite sons of the Phoenix Clan, but in this Xuanqi Continent, how rare is a demon beast? Therefore, the family has long had rules that they must learn from the Phoenix Academy before the family will provide them with a demon beast.

  Of course, if you can afford it yourself, then self-mixing is also possible.

  Although Feng Fei is the son of Feng Jue Tian, it's precisely because of this that Feng Jue Tian can't bear to break the clan rules for him and arrange a demon beast, while his other sons all belong to side branches of the Feng Clan and are already lucky to be able to enter the Feng Institute! How would the family possibly arrange demon beasts for them?

  So, having a flying spirit beast paired with one person like the Medicine Clan is already very rare! Only wealthy and influential medicine clans can afford to do so. Therefore, they are not very clear about how to contract magical beasts either.

  Feng Qi's previous contract with Bing Lan was completely unexpected; it was just an accident that he had accidentally sucked his own blood...

  Blood?

  Phoenix Seven's eyes lit up, and with a swift stroke of her finger, a drop of fresh blood fell onto the brow of the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake. In an instant, a white light flashed by, and the Heavenly Rules descended, enveloping the two. The contract star pattern at their feet flashed, and the contract was formed. At the same time, the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake suddenly surged with power, increasing its strength by two stars to become an eight-star divine beast.

  One beast's pride is another evil's misfortune!

  Just as the contract was formed, a silver light burst into his mind, but the force was too violent, causing Feng Qiuye to be unable to withstand it for a moment. His brain "boomed" and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body "thudded" and sat down on the ground, his mind dazed, almost fainting.

  Tragic

  Feng Qi's head was splitting from the force of the impact, feeling as if his entire brain was about to explode! Had he gone wrong with the way he made a contract with the divine beast? But hadn't he succeeded in making the contract? Why was this happening?

  By my ear, came the anguished cries of many people.

  But everything seemed to be moving further and further away from her, just when she thought she couldn't escape this calamity, a golden light suddenly flashed before her eyes, and she fell into her own spiritual sea, at the same time, a golden figure appeared in front of her eyes, and...

  Feng Qixie wiped away a cold sweat, why was she staring at her with a face full of disdain? And what's with the look that says "you're an idiot"? Feng Qixie's small face turned red as she felt a wave of shame and emptiness in her heart. But... it seemed like... she hadn't done anything too... too stupid, right?

  "That... that?! Cough, cough! I... I've never learned how to contract with magical beasts, so... so, I... uh, earlier with Binglan was also because of the blood, so..." Feng Qiuye's voice grew weaker and weaker as she spoke. She knew she had been reckless this time! Who would have thought that the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake would be so formidable? The counterattack force was astonishingly powerful, and she almost lost her life due to her own recklessness. How embarrassing!

  The woman in the golden robe with a hood suddenly rolled her eyes, (although she couldn't see clearly, but she could very clearly understand what she wanted to express.) With some helplessness, she looked at her, and finally seemed to sigh silently, pointing with her slender finger, a stream of light flew towards Feng Qiuxia, instantly piercing into her brow.

  A chill ran between her eyebrows, and Feng Qi's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't panic because she knew "she" wouldn't harm her. Although they had never spoken before, with her always talking to herself, it didn't affect their communication.

  That flash of light suddenly entered Feng Qisha's evil eyebrow, and in an instant, a scroll appeared in the sea of consciousness. She suddenly moved her mind, and the scroll slowly unfolded, revealing the three characters "Yu Shou Jue". Then, the Yu Shou Xin Jue surged into his brain, and immediately afterwards, the golden woman lightly waved her sleeve, Feng Qisha let out a cry of surprise, and was instantly swept away like a speck of dust.

  "Wake up quickly, evil child..."

  By her ear, Feng Fei and others' anxious cries were heard, and Feng Qi's eyes slowly opened.

  When she finally opened her eyes, everyone was overjoyed. Feng Qiujie smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I made you guys worry!"

  Seeing her wake up, everyone suddenly let out a sigh of relief. This girl is really frightening people to death!

  Feng Qi saw that everyone was really concerned about her, and she couldn't help but smile softly! As she turned her eyes, she felt something was off and asked in a strange voice: "Where's Huo Zui?"

  Everyone's gaze was focused on one place, Feng Qi's evil heart had a slight doubt, following the crowd's gaze, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Zui, what are you doing?"

  Only to see that person, who was recklessly exerting their strength, being startled by Feng Qi's sudden cry. They suddenly stiffened, then slowly turned their head around, with a look of surprise on their face. However, they quickly regained their composure, so quickly that it made one wonder if the initial surprise was just an illusion. Their voice was cold and icy: "Why haven't you died yet?"

  Feng Qi's lips twitched violently, and this guy changed too quickly. However... his gaze shifted to the creature twisting under his feet, and his lips twitched even more violently!

  What? It seems... she was about to pick it up, but seeing its current miserable state, she suddenly lost interest.

  "Master..." A certain Ice King Snake struggled to swim towards her, its eyes innocent and pleading for help. However, looking at the icy expression of a certain drunkard, it swallowed back its cry for help.

  Violence! It's really too violent!

  It almost got trampled to death by these despicable humans, and it's not that it wanted its master to get hurt either. But who can blame the master for being too weak now? However, even if it were to be trampled to death, it wouldn't dare say such a thing out loud; otherwise, it would probably end up without even leaving behind a corpse!

  Alas!

  There won't be a more tragic divine beast than this one! Although it was upgraded from a six-star to an eight-star through the contract, it wouldn't necessarily lose so badly if it fought with that kid. But he knew that in his master's eyes, this kid wasn't just anyone, and judging from how his master had risked his life to save him earlier, he wasn't someone he could afford to mess with right now.

  However, it has to wait for an opportunity, and when it does, it will definitely avenge today's grievance. Heh heh! The Nine-Headed Ice King Snake had some sinister thoughts.

  It's really true that a master has a monster of similar quality! Not one good bird, cough cough!

  "Xie Er, are you alright?" Feng Fei looked at Feng Qi Xie with a tense face, the situation earlier had really scared him to death! He said so! With Xie Er's current low-level cultivation of mystic energy wanting to make a contract with a divine beast, wasn't this asking for trouble?

  It's likely that even a great master wouldn't dare to make a contract with the divine beast so recklessly! That's how dangerous it is, but this ignorant girl actually had the audacity to do so, truly too reckless!

  Feng Qi lightly shook her head: "Brother, don't worry! I'm fine! It's just a small snake, can't this lady handle it?"

  Little... little snake?

  The nine-headed ice king snake is quite tragic.

  Everyone gasped in shock, that's a six-star... Oh! It's already an eight-star divine beast now!

  Everyone's eyes twitched, who can treat the divine beast as an ordinary small snake? Probably no one on this continent. I don't know if their tenth sister counts as a special "talent". They were really scared to the point where their fragile hearts almost couldn't bear it.

  "Heavens! Come quick and see..."

  Just as everyone was entangled, Fengjiu suddenly let out a shocking cry. Everyone was slightly stunned and only then did they realize that after leaving the area of the man-eating vines, there wasn't a single blade of grass growing in this vicinity. Moreover, the ground felt scorching hot. Earlier, due to the tension caused by the man-eating vines, everyone had been too nervous to notice, but now they found it unbearably hot.

  "What place is this?"

  "Why is it so hot?"

  "Yes! And it's all bald around, not a blade of grass grows, it looks so scary!"

  Looking at the scene in front of him, everyone was shocked and opened their mouths wide. Feng San saw it and quickly took out a slightly yellowed paper from his pocket to examine it carefully, followed by...

  "We've found it! We've finally found it! Haha! Haha ha! Fei, come quick and take a look..." As soon as the words left his mouth, Feng San rushed over to Feng Fei like a whirlwind, handing him that yellowed piece of paper.

  Feng Fei took it and looked at it, suddenly asking excitedly: "Are you saying that this is the place we're looking for, Lieday Mountain?"

  Feng San nodded repeatedly: "Yes, absolutely no mistake, not far ahead is Liè Rì Shān (Burning Sun Mountain), and perhaps the legendary evil emperor's innate evil fire is right here."

  Everyone was overjoyed, and unexpectedly they found good fortune in misfortune, and actually managed to find Lieday Mountain.

  "Let's go, let's hurry and take a look." Feng Fei swung her arms and was about to pick up Feng Qiye to rush on the road.

  Feng Qi's face turned red with anxiety, and she hastily said in a loud voice: "Brother, I can walk by myself."

  She didn't have the habit of letting little boys hug her, although Feng Fei was the biological older brother of this body, but...

  "No, you're not feeling well, let me carry you instead!" Earlier, she had made a contract with that divine beast and was badly injured. Although she had woken up now, who knew if there would be any aftereffects? It's better to be cautious.

  At this moment, he ignored Feng Qiuye's opposition and picked her up in one move.

  "Brother, I'm really fine, don't treat me like a kid anymore!" As she spoke, she broke free from Feng Fei's embrace, landed lightly on the ground, spread her arms and spun around: "See, I'm fine, aren't I? Let's hurry up! We finally found Lieday Mountain, if we let others get there first, it won't be good!"

  Feng Fei saw that she was really fine, so he didn't insist anymore and let her go!

  Just then, as Feng Qiyu was about to head to Lie Ri Shan to see if there really was a demonic flame, a silver light flashed before her eyes, followed by the sound of a soft gasp: "My beloved beauty master, this is the necklace I gave you, do you think it looks good?"

  A sudden chill ran down Feng Qi's neck, and her whole body stiffened. She glanced sideways, only to see that the snake that had been trampled underfoot by Xie had transformed into a spirit-like state, coiled around her arm. The plant that he had been holding in his mouth was now entwined around her neck.

  What the...?!

  Feng Qi was shocked, although under the sunlight, a certain plant with its blood-red color was quite beautiful and would even make a nice necklace, but beautiful as it was, that was genuinely priced, also known as the forest killer, and almost sucked her dry, the carnivorous vine, wasn't it?

  Even if she had a big enough nerve, she couldn't hang the deadly man-eating vine around her neck as a necklace!

  She's not sick either.

  "Hurry up and get this thing off me." Feng Qi's face turned cold, this dead snake, it must have been deliberately messing with her to avenge the "see death but not rescue" earlier.

  Upon seeing Feng Qiujie's reaction, the Nine-Headed Ice Snake King's face fell: "What? Beautiful lady owner, you don't like it? It's very pretty!"

  Although this broken wisteria vine isn't very likable, it's still a famous "person" in the Black Wood Forest. Giving it to the beautiful mistress as a necklace shouldn't be embarrassing! But why doesn't she want it?

  I just can't figure it out! Can't figure it out!

  "Damn it, I don't want to give my life to a blood-sucking broken vine at any time. Get me down quickly, or I'll kick you to death." Now thinking about the previous scene still has some lingering fear, what is this damn snake playing?

  The Nine-Headed Ice King Snake was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood: "Beautiful girl's master, as long as you make a contract with it, it will no longer dare to suck your blood! And it can also help you deal with others and suck their blood."

  Phoenix Seven Evil One stunned, is there such a good thing?

  That gigantic Bloodthirsty Carnivorous Vine Emperor, it's extremely rare, can be said to be all treasure, if one could make use of it for oneself? Hehe...

  Phoenix Qiexie's smile was no longer filled with disgust as she gazed at the blood-colored man-eating vine, but instead excitement. The vine, which had been wrapped around her neck by the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake, trembled violently before attempting to make a break for it. However, Phoenix Qiexie's quick reflexes allowed her to grab hold of it firmly: "Heh heh! You think you can escape now? How lovely."

  Since we can make a contract, then there's nothing to worry about afterwards! Not doing it would be stupid!
