The Contract of Reciprocity
"Uh, where is this? I'm not dead?" Xiao Yu slowly woke up and tried hard to stand up. Where is my body? Where is this?"
Xiao Yu was horrified to find that she had lost her body and was only a ball of gas floating. This is the netherworld?"
Xiao Yu slowly looked around and saw nothing. Not the netherworld? Why were there no ghosts or Hades?”
Xiao Yu looked around in puzzlement and saw that the entire space seemed to be illusory. What was this place? Why did I not die and come to this place? And what about my body? Could this be my soul? Then where was this place? Xiao Yu thought doubtfully... "No! I remember now, I seemed to have been ambushed…Who was the last person to appear? Why did he say that I was his clone? Could it be that I…No! This was absolutely impossible! What clone? Don't talk nonsense."
"Let's see where we are first.”Xiao Yu, who had calmed down, threw away the wild thoughts in her heart. She, who only had her soul, realized that not only had her body disappeared, but her soul had also become illusory. There was no more purple light and it had become completely transparent. Her soul power was only less than one-billionth of its peak. If she was discovered by that cultivator, she would definitely be refined. Become the cornerstone of others 'growth.
Xiao Yu, who realized that she had become like this, was not anxious. It was only her soul power that had disappeared, but her realm had not. As long as she recovered a little, it would not be long before she could return to her peak. At that time, it would be extremely simple for her to use spiritual energy to condense her body again.
However, reality was not that good. Xiao Yu, who was circulating her cultivation technique, actually discovered…
"No spiritual energy! How is that possible?" Xiao Yu once again realized that there was no spiritual energy in this space. What should she do? Without spiritual energy, how could she recover, how could she condense her physical body, how could she go back and take revenge...
"Where is this place? Why is there no spiritual energy!" Xiao Yu's calm state of mind began to waver. She went crazy and shuttled through space, but there was no spiritual energy anywhere. It was as if there was nothing around her.
"Why? Why? Why?" Xiao Yu's angry roar spread throughout the space. He could not believe all of this. He could not leave this endless space. Now, there was not even spiritual energy. He could only wait here for his soul power to slowly drain until it disappeared. How could Xiao Yu not go crazy?
"Let me out! I know you can hear me! Quickly let me out. Otherwise, when I get out, I'll definitely beat you into a carefree hell and make you never be able to rise again! Quickly let me out, do you hear me!”
However, no matter how Xiao Yu shouted, the space returned to silence after a shout. There was no response, so Xiao Yu could only give up.
At this moment, a purple light suddenly descended from the sky. A voice that reached the heavens descended from the sky. It was neither calm nor emotional....
"You're so irritable."
"You again! Did you bring me here? What do you want?”Hearing the voice, Xiao Yu was secretly happy, but she immediately realized that it was the voice of the mysterious person from that day.
"I sent you into reincarnation to help me search for the power of emotion. You were the first to comprehend it among all my clones, so I gave you some benefits!”
"Is it good for you to lock me up here? Humph! Also, why should I help you? I'm not your clone. Don't talk nonsense. I won't believe you.”
"Impudent." It was unknown if that voice was angry, but it was still so unfair. As soon as it finished speaking, an invisible energy bombarded Xiao Yu's soul. It shattered Xiao Yu's soul with a single blow.
"Ah!" The shattering of her soul made Xiao Yu scream. Although this would not kill her, the pain was not something that ordinary people could endure. "What do you want? Quickly let me out!" Xiao Yu immediately asked after her soul was reunited.
"Stay here and pay attention to the world of mortals! If you complete my mission, I won't forget your benefits. If you fail, just wait to be assimilated by me.”
"Then you should at least restore my spiritual energy. Otherwise, I won't be able to live long like this.”
"Don't worry. "You can go out immediately, but you have to know that if you go out like this and are seen by those cultivators, what will they do? Therefore, you have to stay here. Moreover, the energy here is very helpful for your cultivation.”
"How is this possible? There's no spiritual energy here at all!”
"This place is filled with nothingness, of course I can't cultivate.”
"What?! Void energy. Void energy that could only be found in void spaces that surpassed chaos spaces!”
Xiao Yu finally understood. It was not that there was no spiritual energy here, but it was a void space. He simply could not believe that he actually had the opportunity to come into contact with this space. That did not mean that he had the opportunity to cultivate to the Void Realm. He was so happy that he was about to go crazy. It felt unreal. There were still many questions....
Wu Kong, who was far away in the boundless universe, looked at Xiao Yu's excited expression. His expression did not change. Of course, his expression could not be seen on his face. He was lifeless. He did not know how long he had maintained this expression. It had been so long that he had forgotten. "Happy? What does it feel like?”He grinned and wanted to imitate Xiao Yu's smile, but no matter how hard he tried, the corners of his mouth could not curl up. Helplessly, he stretched out his finger and pushed the corners of his mouth up, revealing a stiff smile. Then, he immediately sent out a clone to look at him expressionlessly…
Xiao Yu was happy for a while, then she adjusted her mentality and asked,"Doesn't the void turn everything into nothingness? Then why didn't I disappear…"
"You are my soul clone. A small void space could not be destroyed. Of course, you could not absorb the power here. I used a ring from a world to open up this void space. You need to bring in the spiritual energy from the outside world to recover your original strength.”
"Then what should we do?"
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, a purple light suddenly flew over from afar and entered Xiao Yu's soul. The method to operate the ring had already been taught to him.
"What?! You actually want me to sign a life-and-death contract with a mortal? This is simply nonsense. A mortal might die one day, and I would have to die with him. What kind of lousy rule is this?”
"Forget it if you're unwilling. Then you can stay here forever. When you cultivate to the Void celestial art realm, I'll come and find you again. Now, you can slowly decide for yourself…" As the voice traveled far away, the purple light disappeared.
"Hey! Don't go, I still have questions…" Xiao Yu shouted twice and knew that Wu Kong had already left. She floated helplessly in the space and looked at the surrounding air of nothingness. Immediately, joy welled up in her heart.
"Alright, for the sake of this Void Qi, I'll help you once. But what exactly is this emotional power? "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. When the time comes, I'll just say that I don't know what the power of emotion is. I don't think he will do anything to me. Haha." Xiao Yu did not know that his mentality had gradually become a little different. He was no longer as arrogant and cold as when he was a Godly Emperor. This was because Wu Kong's arrival had restrained his arrogance a little. With Wu Kong, more than half of his inner demons had been eliminated. The current Xiao Yu had already returned to Earth with a mentality that was not as abnormal as when her inner demons had won.
"Let's see who the person who wants to sign a contract with me is…What the hell! He actually didn't have any cultivation at all. He couldn't be so useless, right?”When Xiao Yu's soul scanned Xiao Chen's body, his face was filled with shock.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Xiao Chen, who was outside, did not know what was happening in the ring. She also did not know that everyone was watching what happened next. Now that it was afternoon, the disciples of the Xiao family were cultivating. It was time for him to go. He left his house and walked straight on the small path. He did not want to take the main road. There were many young masters and young ladies of the Xiao family there. He did not want to seek humiliation there, so he had always taken the servant path to the training field.
The sunlight outside shone into Xiao Chen's eyes, and the intense light made her eyes blur. However, it was only for a moment. He quickly adjusted his pupils and the light instantly dimmed. However, Xiaochen still covered her eyes subconsciously. The incomparably familiar path made him unconsciously reach the clan's martial arts field very quickly.
"Yo, isn't this our 'Young Master Chen'?”
At this moment, a strange voice sounded with a hint of surprise. Xiao Chen could not help but turn her head. On the road not far from her, there were some servants in green robes and hats looking at her in surprise. It was as if he was extremely surprised by his appearance.
"Ha, Young Master Chen, you really have the face to come. Oh, no, no! You're finally here. We've all been waiting for you…With you protecting us every day, our strength has improved very much. I heard that our Young Master Chen even fainted once. Sigh, actually, you don't have to work so hard to protect us. You have to rest well and recuperate before you help us. Just call your Xiao Mu Feng over…"
"Haha…"
The surrounding servants immediately burst into laughter.
Xiao Chen was stunned when she heard this, but she did not express her opinion…First, it was Xiao Lin, and now these servants. This 'young master' of his was even more unbearable than an ordinary servant…
"Forget it, just treat it as a dog farting…"
Xiao Chen told herself that in her heart. She looked at those people indifferently, turned around, and left without saying a word.
"Eh? Why did this 'Young Master Chen' change his personality after being knocked out once?”
This was out of the servants 'expectations…It should be known that although Xiao Chen did not have any status in the past, if someone mocked him in front of him, he would still argue with the other party no matter what. During the quarrel, if those servants were to say some more infuriating words, they could even make him, who was already weak, faint from anger... Why did the other party leave just like that this time?
In fact, after so many years, Xiaochen understood that it was useless even if she argued. When the time came, she would sink deeper and deeper. It would be good enough if she did not die of anger.
"Humph, what a cowardly fellow…still calling him 'Young Master'…Ptui!…Trash is trash…"
The servant snorted disdainfully and deliberately spoke loudly. Xiao Chen did not even pause when she heard that. She continued walking forward as if she had not heard anything.
When the servants saw this, they all mocked and laughed out loud before they dispersed…After all, the other party was still their Young Master, and they did not dare to attack him directly.
This continent was extremely strict. The master was the master, and the servant was the servant…No matter how cowardly the master was, it was not up to the servant to bully and humiliate him. However, Xiao Chen's status was special. Everyone in the Xiao family, be it the direct descendants or the servants, hated him. This caused his status to become lower and lower.
After watching the people in the martial arts field practice, Xiao Chen did not stop at all. She immediately walked back to the small path leading to the bungalow.
"This world is really realistic. Without strength, there are no human rights…"
Xiaochen shook her head helplessly as she walked along the road. In this world, it seemed that strength was everything. It was above human rights and laws…Actually, if he had gone over and taught those fellows a lesson just now, they would probably be so obedient that they would not even dare to fart when they saw him in the future…
"Strength, strength…"
Xiao Chen shook her head with a smile and looked around.
The scenery in Xiao Manor was not bad. The surrounding trees were trimmed very neatly, and the roads extended in all directions. It was clean and generous. Beautiful buildings with upturned eaves, rockery, ponds, and lush grasslands could be seen everywhere.
Looking at the cornice of these exquisite buildings, Xiao Chen could not help but smack her lips. Although this place was not as prosperous and spacious as the main road, it still had a different atmosphere.
As she watched, she thought about it. After a while, Xiaochen arrived at a waterside pavilion.
Clear water flowed past, and above the water was a stone bridge made of marble. At the bottom of the bridge, there were many maids washing clothes…
Most of these maids were already over thirty years old, and there were occasionally some who were around twenty-eight years old. Their appearances were also not very flattering…It was because most of the people living in this area were servants of the Xiao family. Most of the good-looking young maids were transferred to the courtyards where the Direct Line was located…
"I'm really miserable as a young master…"
Xiao Chen shook her head with a bitter smile as she looked at the aunties washing their clothes. She still remembered the few scenes she had seen in the Direct Line's courtyard. Not only were the houses taller and more luxurious than this place, but the maids were also as beautiful as flowers…Although they could not be said to be at the level of fairies, they were in their youth and were at the prime of their lives. Just looking at it was a great enjoyment…
He shook his head again and walked back to the bungalow.
"You piece of trash, why do you have to say so much?”
Not long after, an angry voice suddenly came from the kitchen and entered Xiao Chen's ears. Xiao Chen could not help but look down curiously. Not far away from him, a servant dressed in black and a black hat was scolding someone. Behind him stood a boy of about fourteen years old with a strong face. The male servant's brows revealed an arrogant aura as he looked down at the person being reprimanded. His brows were filled with arrogance and mockery.
Around them, the male servants who were washing the dishes were mostly watching the show with a gloating expression. Only a small portion of the male servants could not bear it…but no one stepped forward to stop them.
"B-But, I've already finished my work today... I still have to go back... Supervisor Ding, please let me go..."
A voice with a hint of fatigue and fear pleaded. However, Xiao Chen was stunned when she heard that voice because it sounded extremely familiar.
