Chapter 7: Signing a contract is fine, but I must be the master!

Luo Shuiyan's eyes were bright and piercing at this moment; even under the dim light of the night, one could see her brilliant, beautiful eyes.

A reborn soul! For Luo Shuiyan, this was absolutely her greatest secret!

Life and death have always been topics that no one can escape.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a top-tier powerhouse with formidable strength, in the end, none can escape the fate of turning into a handful of dust.

Even Luo Shuiyan, who was a peerless Empress in her past life, did not transcend life and death.

If it were known that she was a reborn soul, Luo Shuiyan could imagine what kind of fate would await her.

For the sake of the secret of her rebirth, no one would care about Luo Shuiyan's life at all.

Having been an Empress in her past life, she had long since witnessed the sinister nature of the human heart.

In this life, Luo Shuiyan would no longer place her life in the hands of others.

Originally, she had made up her mind that she must never reveal anything about being a reborn soul.

But at this moment, in order to contract Jiang Che, this Mythical-grade Spirit Beast, Luo Shuiyan went all out.

Even as an Empress in her past life, she had spent her entire life without ever finding the whereabouts of a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast.

Now that she had been reborn, she was so lucky to have stumbled upon a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast that had not yet awakened its bloodline.

In Luo Shuiyan's view, this was simply a stroke of fortune bestowed upon her by the heavens.

This time, she had to seize it well.

In order to gain Jiang Che's trust.

In order to sign a contract with the mysterious Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline before her.

Luo Shuiyan could even speak of her greatest secret: that she was a reborn soul!

In her past life, contracting a Legendary-Level Spirit Beast bloodline had allowed her to grow to the level of an Empress.

If she could contract a Mythical beast at the very start of this life, then her future achievements would be simply unimaginable! And just as Luo Shuiyan had expected, upon hearing this news, Jiang Che was completely stunned.

A reborn soul? Looking at Luo Shuiyan before him.

Jiang Che only felt his heart skip a beat.

He could not be certain whether Luo Shuiyan was truly a reborn soul, but Jiang Che himself was indeed reborn! Good grief, no wonder the system said this big-chested girl was the future Empress; so that's where it was.

Being both an Empress and a reborn soul, she had basically maxed out all her buffs.

It seemed this woman was undoubtedly the Child of Destiny of this world.

Jiang Che's little heart thumped wildly, and his pair of pitch-black eyes could not help but widen slightly.

Watching the surprised Jiang Che, a flash of smugness could not help but cross Luo Shuiyan's heart.

So what if you are a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast? I'm afraid you don't even know that such a thing as a reborn soul exists!

"Little guy, how is it? Are you surprised and amazed?"

Luo Shuiyan smiled slightly, her voice like silver bells.

She placed Jiang Che in front of her, and the hot air exhaled from her mouth and nose sprayed onto Jiang Che's face, making Jiang Che's heart race for a moment.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee you that as long as you contract with me, I will definitely make you grow into a true Mythical-grade Spirit Beast in the future!"

Possessing a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline and being a true Mythical-grade Spirit Beast are two completely different things.

To become a truly formidable Mythical-grade Spirit Beast, one must allow the Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline within the body to reach a certain level of purity.

Once the Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline within the Spirit Beast is sufficiently powerful, it can undergo a transformation and thus advance into a true Mythical-grade Spirit Beast!

This process might be somewhat long, but the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change would be extremely terrifying.

Legendary-Level Spirit Beasts are not without rivals; even the two Legendary-Level Spirit Beasts Luo Shuiyan had in her past life had many formidable opponents that gave her headaches.

But a powerful Mythical-grade Spirit Beast is simply as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! Even using that phrase is hard to express the scarcity and preciousness of this Mythical-grade Spirit Beast.

Luo Shuiyan looked at Jiang Che with full confidence; what she was saying now definitely carried weight.

Who has ever seen a reborn soul, and who has ever come into contact with a reborn Empress?! In Luo Shuiyan's view, no Spirit Beast could refuse her now.

However, after his initial surprise, Jiang Che was unimpressed.

He still decisively shook his head.

To other Spirit Beasts, the identity of a reborn soul might be very tempting.

But that did not include Jiang Che.

He only needed to lie flat to continuously advance into a Mythical beast; why would he want to sign a contract with someone and get a deed of indenture?

In the few days he had been sleeping here with Luo Shuiyan, Jiang Che had gained quite a few good things.

Especially that Kirin true blood.

It would make his physical strength and constitution climb significantly! For Jiang Che, he had absolutely no need to sign a contract with a Beast Tamer.

As long as he continued to lie flat, sooner or later he would be able to become a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast.

But Jiang Che had to admit that the Child of Destiny was truly extraordinary.

Lying flat by Luo Shuiyan's side these past few days, these rewards were truly quite generous, making Jiang Che somewhat addicted for a moment. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

The rewards from being by Luo Shuiyan's side were much better than when he was originally stuck in a cage.

If Jiang Che were made to return to those dull days when he had just transmigrated.

And then not even be able to eat his fill.

He would probably really go crazy.

"I can sign that contract with you, but I have a few requirements; if you can agree to them, I will contract with you."

After thinking it over repeatedly, Jiang Che said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Luo Shuiyan was immediately incomparably excited.

"Speak!"

"As long as we can sign the contract, I will agree to whatever conditions you set!"

Watching Luo Shuiyan in such an agitated state, Jiang Che spoke slowly and leisurely.

"My conditions are actually quite simple."

"First, signing a contract is fine, but... I shall be the master, and you shall be the subordinate."

In his previous life, Jiang Che had suffered greatly from being exploited by black-hearted bosses.

Furthermore, the relationship between a Beast Tamer and a Spirit Beast is not actually equal.

If a Beast Tamer dies, the Spirit Beast they have contracted will also die along with them.

But if a Spirit Beast meets with an accident, the Beast Tamer only suffers a severe blow to their vitality.

With the Lying Flat System, he can continuously grow stronger and has absolutely no need to sign a contract.

If he were to be the master.

Then even if Luo Shuiyan died, Jiang Che would only suffer a severe blow to his vitality.

He did not want to tie his own life to someone else.

"You want me to acknowledge you as master?"

Hearing Jiang Che's demand, Luo Shuiyan hesitated for a moment.

Since ancient times, the Beast Tamer has always been the master; there is no logic in a Spirit Beast being the master.

However, the other party possesses a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline, so it is normal for them to be unwilling to be a slave.

"Fine, I agree to you."

A moment later, Luo Shuiyan gritted her teeth and agreed.

In that instant just now.

She had already thought a great deal.

For her, as long as she could grow stronger, that was enough.

Her goal was to defeat the Demon Race in the future and save humanity.

She did not care about anything else.

Although she was an Empress in her previous life, in the face of a Mythical-grade Spirit Beast bloodline.

Her pride as an Empress had completely dissipated.

"Second, without my command, you are not allowed to get into disputes with others at will. If you encounter trouble, do not try to be a hero; if there is danger, run away first... and also..."

Jiang Che only wanted to lie flat; he did not want to throw his life away for no reason.

A daughter of destiny like Luo Shuiyan would certainly attract a lot of trouble.

If that were to affect his lying flat, it would be quite bad.

"Wait... how many conditions do you have?"

Listening to Jiang Che's words, Luo Shuiyan was somewhat speechless.

Luo Shuiyan had originally thought that the possessor of a divine beast bloodline would surely be a being radiating King's Hegemonic Qi.

But the Spirit Beast before her... seems a bit cowardly...

"Hm? Do you have an objection?"

Hearing the impatience in Jiang Che's tone, Luo Shuiyan hurriedly nodded and agreed.

"Fine, fine, fine, as long as you sign the contract with me, I will agree to anything!"

She had already agreed to acknowledge him as master, so naturally, she would not refuse such a small matter.

"Third, you must provide three delicious meals every day, and not a single day can be missed."

Since he is the master, it is only natural for Luo Shuiyan to serve him.
