The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 711 - 296: Jin Xuanzi_2

"Yeah, better safe than sorry."

Ye Yin added fuel to the fire:

"If we’re still alive, but you die because of us, that would be such a grievous sin... The consequences are unimaginable."

"Why would you jinx someone with death when everything is fine..."

Ye Liuying floated down from the sky, rolling her eyes:

"Don’t worry, I’m not a three-year-old child."

"From the moment you both got the ’Miracle Survivors’ title, I’ve been marking you two as ’plague-bearing psychopathic Demons’."

"Don’t think I’m just leisurely hanging out with you guys. I’m always clutching a Protective Talisman, trying to harm me by surprise... No way!"

"Gua! GuaGua!!"

GuaGua, unusually siding with Ye Liuying, raised its tiny hand to show, "I’m also very careful, don’t even think about tricking me."

"Speaking of which... If GuaGua stays by my side, will it be disliked by the will of heaven and earth?"

Ye Hanjun had a sudden thought and discussed it with Ye Yin, frowning.

Upon learning that GuaGua was actually a Pure Beast, Ye Yin was greatly surprised and made a bizarre face, murmuring softly:

"That’s hard to say."

"Pure Beasts are known as messengers of cleanliness, naturally favored by nature. In some ancient legends, they are even linked to good fortune."

"Now with one positive and two negatives, personally, I think it might not be affected much, or perhaps not at all."

"But if you think you can use it as a loophole to avoid disaster, I’m afraid that’s unlikely."

No sooner had he spoken than GuaGua, which already understood human language and could communicate normally, sent a psychic message again:

"Don’t underestimate this Gua!"

"With me here, Big Tadpole won’t be unlucky!"

"But if he’s not unlucky, he won’t accumulate any blessing power."

Having never seen a Pure Beast before, and seeing how clever the little guy was, Ye Yin earnestly said:

"Besides, if I’m not unlucky either, how am I supposed to accumulate Experience Points for my authority?"

"The authority infusion in the great tomb is probably not suitable for someone with special authority like me, and can’t help me gain Experience Points."

"If I’m forever stuck at the sixth rank, there’s no difference between me being alive or dead, then how can Ye Hanjun strike for the seventh rank?"

"Why is this so troublesome! It’s so frustrating!"

GuaGua’s thin little eyebrows scrunched together as it muttered secretively:

"Then I can only bide my time and make my move at the last moment."

"Let you two suffer from disaster first, and when you’re about to give your last breath, I’ll save you. I guarantee you’ll see the light again and regain your vigor!"

"Idiot, seeing the light again still means you’re about to kick the bucket."

Ye Hanjun tapped GuaGua on the head, who dodged away, and couldn’t help but laugh:

"Don’t pick up bad habits from Goose Immortal. It calls itself ’this Immortal’, you call yourself ’this Gua’, as if you both were carved out of the same alien brother template."

"Who wants to be brothers with that big iron goose."

GuaGua shook its head disdainfully, showing a little distaste:

"This Gua takes the essence and discards the dregs!"

"Starting today, I am also a Protector, Uncle and Big Tadpole have to be well. No one is allowed to breathe their last!"

"Did you forget about me? Am I so insignificant?"

Ye Liuying poked her head out, staring at GuaGua’s back, feigning anger.

"Of course, Liuying must also be well, otherwise Big Tadpole would be heartbroken!"

GuaGua, looking innocent as if it had eyes on the back of its head, easily dodged Ye Liuying’s reaching claw.

Zipping around, one moment it darted into the pocket of Ye Hanjun’s jacket, the next it stood on the Ninth Layer Lotus Platform, looking around atop the head of an immortal cockroach, its carefree appearance utterly joyous.

"I’m heading back now."

After some thought, Ye Yin stood up to say goodbye:

"The special training with Ye Nishang did have some effect on me."

"Before the Clock of the Era strikes, I want to accumulate a bit of energy for the luck transfer pouch, it can’t be a bad thing."

"What about you? Why are you still staying in the Deep Black Wheel? Does your granduncle allow you to stay here for an extended time?"

"Yes," Ye Hanjun replied:

"Since evolving, my contracted Thunder Demon has been playing the zither constantly, maintaining a special state, and hasn’t woken up day or night."

"Could it be understanding Skills?"

Ye Yin asked in surprise, "It’s said that the Heavenly Zither Thunder Demon clan, when first born, don’t possess any Skills."

"Although they’re filled with powerful Lightning Element, they could potentially be bullied by weaker beings, and such cases are extremely rare."

"I suspect the same," agreed Ye Hanjun with a nod. "After evolving, its Skills haven’t increased, nor have they decreased."

"If the rumors are correct, to have extra Skills, the Heavenly Zither Thunder Demon can only rely on ’enlightenment’."

"For now, I need to stay by its side and can’t go too far away."

"However, for the luck transfer pouch, maybe I can accumulate it through the battles in the Ferocious Ghost Hall, and get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of ’Calamity Strikes’."

"Alright, contact me if you need anything."

Ye Yin lifted his leg and walked out of the side hall, disappearing step by gradual step.

"No time to lose, let’s start cultivating."

Ye Hanjun headed to the next room, "I’m going to take Mo and Goose Immortal to experience the ’Scapegoat’s’ damage-blocking effects first."

"Mo will probably be happy not having to make an effort to enjoy pain; it’s like a pie falling from the sky."

"I’m going to keep my distance from you two."

Ye Liuying racked her brain and finally huffed:

"I’ll move out of the Ferocious Ghost Hall and then join the special training with Ye Nishang."

"If there’s a chance, I want to eliminate the potential threat of the Ye Xuezhu Xue Ji in advance."
