184: Taking in Qian Muli as a slave is inevitable

“This, this is a Jianmu Fruit. It doesn't have any other special effects; it can only bring the dead back to life, regrow flesh on bones, and allow a Soul body to regain a physical form! Nothing too magical!” Chen Xuan said indifferently.

“Re-rebuild a body?! That can't be true!” Qian Muli said, somewhat disbelievingly.

“What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. Since Young Miss Qian said you understand me, then naturally you know I'm not joking!”

“I truly want to help you, but at the same time, I must ensure my absolute safety!” Chen Xuan said with a serious expression.

Qian Muli's heart trembled upon hearing his words.

“But, but I have to sign a slave contract, which means I'd be… selling myself!” She was still very conflicted.

“This is truly unavoidable. I have to be responsible for my family.”

“Is there really no better way?”

“I can't think of one for now. Or rather, I can send you out before my Immortal big sister returns, and then I won't be able to help you with the rest. But we'll still be friends.”

Chen Xuan spoke very sincerely.

Qian Muli hesitated, but she knew that without Chen Xuan's help, she might truly be avenged by the Immortal in front of her.

“Young Master Chen Xuan, I'd like to consider it.”

“You may, but please don't take too long, because I'm not sure when Immortal big sister will return.” Chen Xuan said.

Giving her time to consider, but at the same time, putting some pressure on her, would make her feel anxious.

“Alright, I'll make a decision as soon as possible.” With that said, Qian Muli burrowed into the shattered jade pendant and began to recall everything about Chen Xuan.

She found that from beginning to end, deep down, she had always greatly admired Young Master Chen Xuan, even imagining in the dead of night why the person she met back then wasn't Chen Xuan, and if she had taken him as a Disciple...

Unfortunately, this was fate. Not only could she not be Chen Xuan's Master, but she also had to be his female slave! This was equivalent to selling herself to him!

Although he said they could be friends, however... a True Immortal was still above her, and Chen Xuan's relationship with her was clearly much closer. If she returned seeking revenge, she didn't believe Chen Xuan would choose her.

After all, that True Immortal was in no way inferior to her in appearance...

“That's right! Not to mention that Chen Xuan is inherently a true gentleman, but even now, he's always surrounded by so many beautiful women. He doesn't necessarily need me! It's me who was too... confident!”

Upon realizing this, Qian Muli suddenly felt enlightened. She finally decided to sign the slave contract for the sake of her life and the lives of those in Qianhua Sacred Ground.

“Young Master Chen Xuan, I've decided. I, I am willing to sign the slave contract. Please grant me this.”

Chen Xuan looked at Qian Muli's determined eyes and smiled slightly: “Good, since you've made your decision, then please sign this contract.”

Saying this, Chen Xuan took out a contract and handed it to Qian Muli.

“Alright, Young Miss Qian, I am ready! I need to extract a wisp of your Soul Origin first. Please give me your hand!” Chen Xuan nodded, motioning for Qian Muli to place her hand in his palm.

Qian Muli took a deep breath and gently placed her ethereal jade hand on Chen Xuan's large hand.

This was a moment that would decide her fate. Guided by Chen Xuan, she slowly closed her eyes, feeling Chen Xuan's presence with her heart.

Soon, Chen Xuan's Soul Power began to penetrate Qian Muli's Soul, slowly searching for her Soul imprint and attempting to connect with it. This process was somewhat painful, but Qian Muli gritted her teeth, enduring the discomfort.

After a long while, Chen Xuan finally found Qian Muli's Soul imprint. He carefully connected his own Soul imprint to it, ensuring the smooth progress of the contract.

Immediately after, he began to chant the incantation for the slave contract. As the incantation was recited, mysterious forces flowed between them, tightly binding their Souls together.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt a vast energy surge into his Soul, making his Soul even stronger. Qian Muli, on the other hand, felt a warm force gradually enveloping her Soul.

During this time, Qian Muli wanted to scream several times, but in the end, she looked at Chen Xuan and held back.

She still couldn't avoid her Soul merging with Chen Xuan's, even if it was just a tiny bit.

“I apologize, this step is unavoidable!”

“W-well, Young Master Chen Xuan, just, just do your best, then, woo~ yes!”

...

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xuan finally extracted a wisp of Origin power from the depths of her Soul, and along with a wisp of his own Origin power, he cast them together into the contract.

Finally, the contract was completed, and a mysterious connection was established between Chen Xuan and Qian Muli's Souls. Chen Xuan could clearly sense Qian Muli's every presence, while Qian Muli could only feel a trace of Chen Xuan's emotions, sensing nothing else.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qian Muli.

“Young Miss Qian, we have completed the contract. From now on, you are my slave. Please remember, I will do my best to protect you, and you must do your best to serve me.”

Qian Muli nodded, a bitter smile appearing on her face. She no longer belonged to herself; only her thoughts were her own, everything else, including her Soul, was Chen Xuan's.

As long as Chen Xuan wished, he could unlock all Cultivation, and she wouldn't even be able to die. But at the same time, she trusted her judgment; Chen Xuan was definitely a true gentleman, there would be no mistake!

At this moment, her eyes, as she looked at Chen Xuan, held something indescribable, perhaps dependence, or something else.

Chen Xuan did not enter her heart, but directly entered her Soul.

“I understand, Young Master Chen Xuan. From now on, I will diligently fulfill my duty and serve you.”

“Young Miss Qian, there's no need to be constrained. Although we have a Master-slave relationship, you will always be a friend to me here. I won't make things difficult for you.”

“Young Master Chen is righteous!”

“It's not over yet!” Chen Xuan laughed: “I said I would help you, and I will help you!”

He directly took out the Jianmu Fruit and placed it in front of Qian Muli.

“Absorb it, and you will be reborn!”
