The real Jade Rabbit, the Contract of the Undead!
“Little fellow, you’re quite bold.”
Change glanced at Lin Xuan, then waved her hand.
The next moment.
Lin Xuan only felt the pressure on him intensify.
He almost knelt.
“I’ve been wronged, Fairy Change.” Lin Xuan rubbed his nose, “I didn’t mean what you think I meant.”
“Oh? What do you think I meant?”
Boom—
The pressure grew even heavier.
Lin Xuan’s legs trembled uncontrollably.
He was truly wronged.
Facing Change, how could he dare to harbor any improper thoughts?
However.
Change, a mythical figure, how did she understand the meme in his words?
“Little fellow, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
“If you don’t give me a suitable reason, I’ll make you and that Wu Gang chop trees in this Moon Palace for a hundred years.”
Chop trees for a hundred years?
Lin Xuan felt he couldn't mess around anymore.
Fortunately, after Change said that, he felt a lot of the pressure on him ease.
It gave him a chance to explain.
“Ahem, Fairy, the reason I took the Jade Rabbit’s bones was to help you.” Lin Xuan scratched his head, explaining.
Since he entered the Guanghan Palace Ruins.
So far, he had encountered three world-level rabbit monsters.
The first Jade Rabbit was the one he encountered shortly after entering the Guanghan Palace Ruins.
It was the size of a small mountain, plump, and gnawing on a carrot.
The second Jade Rabbit was the human-bodied, rabbit-eared one he encountered when entering the palace, resembling King’s Gongsun Li.
The last Jade Rabbit was the skeletal Jade Rabbit he just encountered near the osmanthus tree.
Three rabbit monsters, different forms.
Normally, they should be different species.
However, Lin Xuan found in the kill panel that their kill prompts were all the same.
They were all called Jade Rabbit.
Lin Xuan didn't believe Jade Rabbit was a single species.
After all, there were many rabbit monsters near the Carrot Jade Rabbit before.
But their prefixes were all 'rabbit'.
Not 'Jade Rabbit'.
As a result, Change wanted to burn and bury the skeletal Jade Rabbit earlier.
This was very telling.
Lin Xuan believed even more that the Jade Rabbit had split into three.
In Taoist philosophy, humans have three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit.
The Jade Rabbit was not human.
But Lin Xuan felt it shouldn't be too different.
In other words.
These three Jade Rabbits were all the true Jade Rabbit.
They respectively represented the Jade Rabbit's flesh, bones, and spirit.
“I didn’t expect you to know so much.”
Change slightly furrowed her delicate brows, “The Jade Rabbit’s situation is indeed similar to what you guessed.”
“However, what does this have to do with you taking its bones?”
“Yes, of course, it does.” Lin Xuan smiled, then waved his hand, transferring the bones of the three Jade Rabbits out of the Frost Domain.
In fact.
He had already sensed something was off when he encountered the human-form, rabbit-eared Jade Rabbit in the palace.
So after killing the latter two, he didn't convert them into Undead creatures, nor did he rush to use the Undead Contract.
Only the large one…
Lin Xuan had treated it as emergency rations.
After all, given the situation at the time, he didn't know how long he would be trapped in these ruins.
When he came in, he hadn't brought much food.
Of course.
This was something he could only think to himself.
Lin Xuan would never tell Change.
“What are you…?” Change slowly stood up from the couch, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Lin Xuan quickly waved his hand, “Fairy, don’t rush.”
Change could no longer be treated as a shut-in confined to the ruins.
The person opposite understood the meme he mentioned earlier.
It was clear she also knew the purpose of his profession as an Necromancer.
And in common perception.
Necromancers treat monster corpses with nothing more than Corpse Explosion and enslavement.
This implied disrespect towards the corpses.
However.
He was different.
“Fairy, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush.”
Lin Xuan waved his hand.
He transferred two Enchanting Flying Maiden corpses from the Frost Domain.
Then, without another word, he cast Undead Rebirth on one of them.
Accompanied by the flickering of eerie green flames.
The Enchanting Flying Maiden quickly revived.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and upon seeing her surroundings, immediately knelt on the ground.
“Greetings, Fairy.”
“Mm.”
Change nodded slightly.
The Enchanting Flying Maiden then stood up, and upon seeing Lin Xuan, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly bowed.
“Greetings, Master.”
Lin Xuan smiled, not saying much.
“Oh? Interesting?”
A hint of surprise flashed in Change’s eyes, but her tone remained cold:
“Your skill can actually bring a corpse back to life temporarily.”
“But what’s the use of that?”
“Once the time passes, what’s supposed to die will still die.”
“As expected of a Fairy, straight to the point.”
“Stop flattering me, speak directly.” Change rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan.
“How could I…” Lin Xuan rubbed his nose.
In fact, he truly felt that the phrase “back to life temporarily”.
Was an extremely accurate summary of the Undead Rebirth skill’s effect.
However.
Seeing Fairy Change’s impatient look.
Lin Xuan decided to get straight to the point.
Oh, no.
He meant, get straight to the topic.
“Fairy, this is just one of my skills.”
Lin Xuan smiled, “I also have a skill that can achieve an even more powerful effect than temporary revival.”
Saying that.
Lin Xuan cast a skill, Undead Contract, on the other corpse.
Accompanied by a command to stand up.
The Enchanting Flying Maiden, who had already become a corpse, began to emit oily green flames.
Soon.
This Enchanting Flying Maiden actually opened her eyes.
But unlike the other maiden whose health was continuously decreasing, this one not only had a full health bar but also a stronger aura.
Seeing the maiden’s state.
A sharp glint flashed in Change’s eyes, and then she abruptly appeared beside the maiden.
Before the maiden could react, she began to examine her status.
“Not bad.”
Change curved her lips slightly, then returned to the couch.
“You want to use this skill to revive the Jade Rabbit, but you don’t know how, do you?”
“After all, these three are all Jade Rabbits, and you don’t know how to revive the true one.”
“Amazing!”
Lin Xuan couldn't help but admire Change.
As expected of a mythical figure.
She was simply prescient.
Contracting the Jade Rabbit, this was indeed what he intended.
However.
It was a bit difficult.
He didn't want to contract any of these three.
But the true Jade Rabbit.
After all, according to mythological legends.
The true Jade Rabbit.
Could very likely become his first mythical-level contracted beast!
“Then, Fairy, do you know how to…” Lin Xuan tentatively began.
“You little fellow, not old, but full of tricks.”
Change turned over, lying on her side on the couch, propping her chin with one hand as she looked at Lin Xuan.
“Even if you use your skill to revive the true Jade Rabbit, it will become your pet, so what does that have to do with me?”
Uh…
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose.
Had to say.
When people were too smart, they were indeed a bit difficult to deal with.
“How about this, Fairy.”
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, “After reviving the Jade Rabbit, I can ask for its wishes.”
“If it doesn't want to leave with me, I’ll release the contract.”
“Then I’ll bury its bones under the osmanthus tree, which will also satisfy your previous request.”
These words seemed to make her a little moved.
She fell silent for a moment.
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry either.
He stood quietly, waiting for a reply.
Finally. Change sighed softly, “So be it.”
As her voice fell. Change waved her hand, gathering the three Jade Rabbit corpses, which then transformed into a ball of light.
After a short while.
The three Jade Rabbit corpses simultaneously emitted a soft white light.
The light grew brighter and brighter.
Eventually turning into a dazzling glare.
Lin Xuan unconsciously squinted his eyes.
When the light dissipated.
He found that the three Jade Rabbit corpses had disappeared.
In their place.
Was a cute little rabbit the size of a domestic rabbit, with snow-white fur and a crystal-clear, jade-like quality.
Change gently stroked the Jade Rabbit’s head, then looked at Lin Xuan.
“Come on.”
“The rest is up to you.”
