Chapter 5: Signing the contract, Wood Spirit Adeptus!

"You seem very afraid of me?"

Morax seemed to have discovered something.

Little Ganyu's chubby body trembled violently.

"N... no..."

Jiang Yan, on the side, gripped his teacup tightly in excitement.

Ganyu!!

My little Coconut Goat!!

How did he transmigrate into the Teyvat continent?

Wasn't it just to pull the little Coconut Goat, and then he got five golds in one ten-pull...

Little Ganyu also noticed a burning gaze constantly staring at her. She turned her head and found a handsome silver-haired little boy staring at her with fiery eyes.

Immediately, a blush appeared on her round little face.

That child is so handsome, and he can sit and communicate with Master and the Geo Archon; he's so amazing...

"Northeast... whose territory is it?" Morax didn't notice Jiang Yan staring at Ganyu, but asked Cloud Retainer on the side.

"That seems to be the territory of the Dust Archon, Guizhong."

Cloud Retainer pondered for a moment and said: "Legend has it that she is temperamental. Although her strength cannot be called top-tier, she can protect herself by relying on the powerful crossbows created by her superb wisdom."

Worth a try!

Morax weighed it and felt this was feasible.

And Jiang Yan didn't speak.

He could provide general guidelines; the specifics still needed to be discussed by them.

First, he wasn't yet in Morax's camp, so providing some ideas was already good enough.

Second, even if he didn't say it, Morax would eventually form an alliance with Guizhong.

He was just guiding it a little bit.

However!

You really can't say!

Even if Ganyu was round and chubby when she was young, she was still so cute!

Hehehehe!

"It's a huge help that you could tell me these things, little friend."

Morax expressed his gratitude to Jiang Yan and, at the same time, extended an olive branch to him.

"I wonder if you are willing to come and help me, sign a contract with me, and protect the people of one side."

"Demons and gods are rising everywhere, but I alone can only protect a corner of the world."

Looking at the olive branch Morax extended to him, Jiang Yan was silent.

He wanted to agree so much!

But he had to negotiate some conditions; he couldn't just offer himself up for free.

"I wonder what conditions Morax-ge would give me to help you?"

Jiang Yan said softly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

There's a chance!

The Adepti looked at each other, and this thought appeared in their minds simultaneously.

You have to know, Jiang Yan was an existence that could overpower Archons. With his addition, their camp could be said to have two Archon-level combat powers!

Even Morax had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"I wonder what you want, little friend? If I have it, I will give it!"

He needed a top-tier combat power to join him too much!

Although the Adepti's combat power was high, when facing Archon-level figures, they could only be said to be inferior.

"Emmm, how about this!"

Jiang Yan suddenly thought of a good idea and said to Morax with a smile:

"I can join you and sign a contract with you, but I'm a person who likes to hunt for treasures, so..."

"Within the territory you rule, all treasure chests must belong to me!"

Morax let out a breath; he thought the other party would propose some outrageous contract.

It turned out to be just opening treasure chests!

"That is naturally fine. If you want to open treasure chests, little friend, all treasure chests in my territory will belong to you."

"That's fine then!"

Jiang Yan revealed a mouthful of white teeth.

"The contract is formed; those who break their word shall suffer the punishment of the stone!"

Morax and Jiang Yan shook hands, and the first contract between them was established.

"You are of the Elf race and possess the power to manipulate trees. How about calling you the Wood Spirit Adeptus externally?"

Morax pondered for a while before speaking.

Jiang Yan pondered for a while, eventually gave up thinking, and nodded.

He was terrible at naming things; for such things, it was best to let the Geo Archon name him.

The Adepti cheered. That night, everyone drank and chatted, and the people of the tribe sang and danced. On this day, another powerhouse joined their Geo Archon's camp, titled: Wood Spirit Adeptus.

Late at night, Jiang Yan sat on the grass. Because his physical age looked relatively young, Morax and the others didn't let Jiang Yan drink alcohol, only tea.

There were also female Adepti like Streetward Rambler who rubbed and touched Jiang Yan's face.

For no other reason than that he was too cute.

The cute appearance of silver hair and pointed ears made Jiang Yan a "group pet" as soon as he joined.

"Looking at it this way, it's not bad."

Jiang Yan chuckled, thinking of the warm scene of everyone gathering at the banquet, his heart feeling warm.

Wandering in this world for several days, he had always been alone.

Now he could be considered to have a place to stay.

The most crucial thing is! Through his appearance, he successfully gained Cloud Retainer's favor and made contact with Ganyu!

Although Ganyu was shy at first and didn't like to talk. ===== CHAPTER 11 =====

But Jiang Yan eventually became good friends with her!

One step closer to successfully winning Ganyu! ===== CHAPTER 12 =====

Two days later, seeing that Jiang Yan was completely familiar with the place, Morax prepared to set off for the Dust Archon's territory.

Because it was a method proposed by Jiang Yan, Morax naturally wanted to take him along.

Jiang Yan had no objections.

He didn't intend to stay here for a long time anyway. It just so happened that this time he was going to the Dust Archon's area, so he had to search for treasure chests properly!

Strive to activate the Wood Human Technique as soon as possible!

"Shake the heavens and earth!"

A stone pillar rose from the ground, instantly shattering the rock peak in front of him.

Revealing the Common Chest hidden inside.

Jiang Yan rushed forward and opened it.

"Let me see what good treasures are inside."

"Hmm... generally speaking, treasure chests like this usually don't have anything good."

Morax behind him said with a helpless tone.

About a week after leaving the tribe, he could be said to have completely become Jiang Yan's tool man.

Breaking open rock peaks, smashing the rocks locking the treasure chests.

"You don't understand! Opening treasure chests is about the unknown inside. Before opening, you don't know what treasures are inside; that's the fun of opening them."

Jiang Yan laughed, feeling his physique rise a little bit, filled with joy.

"Well, whatever you say."

Morax had long since given up resisting.

Or rather, he had gotten used to it.

"Help!!!"

Walking through a mountain range, a scream suddenly came from not far away, attracting the attention of Jiang Yan and Morax.

"Let's go take a look!"

Out of instinct, Jiang Yan wanted to go see the excitement.

On a winding path, a middle-aged man was holding a young child and running toward the front in a panic.

A raised stone tripped him, causing him to fall to the ground, and the bandits behind him surrounded them.

"Hehehehe, you dog, you run pretty fast. Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and hand over everything valuable on you!"

The bandits sneered and surrounded the middle-aged man, the sharp blades in their hands gleaming coldly.

The middle-aged man hugged his last child tightly, his eyes filled with determination in the face of despair.

He had a dagger hidden in his sleeve; even if he died, he would take one down with him!

"Should we save them?"

Jiang Yan said softly.

"Hmm, there is a strange feeling about him."

Morax nodded.

"Then I'll do it; a few small bandits aren't worth you making a move."

Jiang Yan stretched his wrists and walked forward.

"Huh? You brat, where did you pop out from?"

The bandits naturally saw Jiang Yan walking toward them.

Jiang Yan smiled and didn't speak, just clapped his hands together.

Then his arms slowly extended toward the bandits.

"Speak, you bastard!"

Several bandits wanted to surround him.

"Wood Release, Cutting Technique!"

Several wooden spikes grew from Jiang Yan's arms, instantly skewering all the bandits in front of him like a kebab.

The middle-aged man's face was splattered with blood; he hugged his child, his body trembling continuously.

"Who... who are you?"

The middle-aged man looked tremblingly at Jiang Yan, who was smiling while slaughtering the bandits in front of him, and Morax, who was walking over slowly behind him.

He didn't relax; instead, he became even more nervous. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Were these two "orioles" coming to enjoy the fruits of labor?

If it were the previous bandits, he would still have the belief to resist, but the two in front of him made him unable to even think of resisting.

Too terrifying!

"My name is Jiang Xiaobai, and as for him, his name is Zhongli."

Jiang Yan said with a smile. Long before the two set off, they had planned to travel in the form of a journey.

Both of them coincidentally gave themselves aliases.

"What is your name?"

"I... my name is Hu Xing."

Hu Xing's tone still carried a tremor.

"Surname Hu? Interesting."

Morax's voice came from behind. He looked at the middle-aged man before him with interest and then said:

"If you want to seek protection, go toward the southwest."

"After arriving at Mount Tianheng, find Cloud Retainer and say that Zhongli sent you."

Morax still used his alias; he didn't intend to expose his real name.

After speaking, Jiang Yan and Morax left.

After walking far away, Jiang Yan turned his head and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Ever since meeting that middle-aged man surnamed Hu, Morax's smile seemed to have never stopped.

"Found a treasure."

Morax said softly, which also left Jiang Yan a bit baffled.

"Found a treasure just by meeting someone surnamed Hu?"

Morax shook his head with a smile and explained faintly.

"The middle-aged man just now has a bloodline in his body that can communicate with the power of the underworld."

"On the young child he was holding, there is also this feeling."

Power of the underworld?

Jiang Yan widened his eyes abruptly.

Surname Hu.

Possesses a bloodline that communicates with the power of the underworld.

Isn't this Hu Tao's ancestor?

Holy crap! Is it really that coincidental??

Immediately, Jiang Yan's gaze toward Morax carried a hint of complexity.

You didn't just find a treasure.

You clearly found a meal ticket for yourself thousands of years later.

"...What is that look in your eyes?"

Morax felt that Jiang Yan's look toward him was a bit off.

"Nothing, let's go."

Suddenly, a violent shaking came from afar. For a moment, the sky spun and the earth shook, shaking Jiang Yan so much that he almost sat on the ground. ===== CHAPTER 13 =====
