As Jiang Xuan’s mind buzzed with thoughts, a young man with a black blade slowly approached the golden dragon soul.
This guy looked extremely similar to Jiang Xuan, but the aura emanating from him was completely different.
To Golden Spirit Cloud, this appearance was all too familiar, a person she dreamed of for ten thousand years.
The aura, oh, she knew that very well.
Back then, she could not even get within three feet of him. He was the one she wanted to bring down from his pedestal the most.
Seeing this, Golden Spirit Cloud stood in shock and said, “How is this possible… How can you still retain an aura from ten thousand years ago…”
“No way… But why is your current self so weak?”
Before Golden Spirit Cloud could finish her sentence, a black, all-consuming blade energy rushed straight at her.
Under the black energy, the golden dragon soul was branded with a slave mark.
Immediately, the golden dragon soul was evicted from Jiang Xuan’s mind.
The dragon soul returned to its body, and Golden Spirit Cloud let out a mournful cry.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan had also regained his senses. He noticed an extra contract settled in him now.
He realized the master-servant contract with Golden Spirit Cloud had formed.
Now her life and d*ath were at his whim.
When he first saw the golden dragon soul burst into his mind, he was taken aback.
He thought the contract would flop, but thankfully, nothing serious happened.
Jiang Xuan figured it was likely his System who took action.
After all, he owned the Mind Space.
Next to them, Nangong Liu Yun saw the master-servant contract confirmed and that the servant was still Golden Spirit Cloud.
She finally relaxed.
At that moment, Nangong Liu Yun lifted the bag again.
“Little Goldbug, you were planning something when I was around just now, right?”
Golden Spirit Cloud: “!!!!!!!”
“Nangong-sama, you misunderstand. My master is weak, and I entered his mind to set up the master-servant contract with my spirit.
So even if my power surpasses my master, I can’t break the contract.”
“Huh? Are you really being this nice?”
“Of course… don’t worry, I was saved by the master before, I am utterly loyal…”
Noticing Golden Spirit Cloud’s sincere attitude, Nangong Liu Yun finally untied the bag.
“You and Little Xin will take care of my husband properly. A few bad apples might come calling in a couple of days. You two better protect him well; otherwise, things would be terrible.”
Nangong Liu Yun nodded confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he is protected!”
Beside them, Jiang Xuan muttered under his breath, “Whose side are we on here… it feels like Little Lingyun is also siding with Nangong… This is going overboard!”
Having settled things with Golden Spirit Cloud, Nangong Liu Yun embraced Jiang Xuan warmly again.
“Hubby, stay here and rest for one day while I check the entire Great Jiang Imperial City.
To avoid any sneaky ladies hiding there, they’re all eyeing you. By the way, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Got it… everything as you wish…”
With Nangong Liu Yun’s figure gone, Jiang Xuan glanced at the front—Golden Spirit Cloud—and spoke with a smirk, “Lingyun, wasn’t you pretty cocky recently? Threatening me to beg and grovel. Don’t tell me you forgot?”
Golden Spirit Cloud lowered her head, trembling slightly.
“Well, um, my master jests, I was foolish then, offending you… Sorry…”
“Oh? You truly submit then? But the damage you’ve caused, I remember very clearly.”
“I see… I will apologize to my master…”
Golden Spirit Cloud, her voice faltering, lifted her clothes’ corner and turned away from Jiang Xuan.
“Um… Does my master want me to be a Dragon Knight?”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
Witnessing events spiral in bizarre directions, Jiang Xuan finally reacted.
He grabbed Golden Spirit Cloud firmly.
“Not it, Golden Spirit, I mean…”
Watching his close face, Golden Spirit Cloud’s eyes sparkled, but she said with submission, “My master means he likes seeing my face more?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan covered her mouth and scolded her, “What garbage is in that little head of yours? What I meant was, I want two drops of your lifesblood as compensation.
I haven’t done anything yet, and you keep misinterpreting my intentions. And they make less and less sense every time!”
Jiang Xuan slowly released her after his explanation.
Knowing Jiang Xuan’s purpose, Golden Spirit Cloud hesitated.
“Could it be possible… one drop of lifesblood, and the other… perhaps my service can remain unchanged…”
“Cut it! Why can’t I have two drops?”
“Because I’m heavily injured… If I give you both, I might fall from my ranks as a Martial Saint and might not be able to protect you in a couple of days…”
Jiang Xuan: “…..”
“It’s fine, I won’t need protection in a few days. Also, one drop of lifesblood will open the secret realm in the lake bottom. There’s good stuff there, restoring my injuries and cultivation. I’ll give a little back to Little Lingyun then.”
Hearing this, Golden Spirit Cloud shook her head urgently, “Master, actually, there’s no cultivation resource there, those were lies…sorry…”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
“Not…you just said it was a Divine Realm!”
“And according to my perception, it’s at least Emperor-level. How could there be no good items…”
“That’s precisely a Divine Realm, left by a peak ninth-rank Warrior Deity of the Golden Dragon Clan and is their treasury.
However, all items containing spiritual energy are already gone, sacrificed to the Demon God…”
“Huh? Why does your Golden Dragon Clan involve Demon Gods?”
“Gifting by an Ancient Demon God can boost power temporarily…We agreed with the Demon God initially to counter outside evil races…”
Just before I got thoroughly sealed, I was informed that if only one Golden Dragon was remaining, I could seek protection with our identity.
Because the agreement with the ancient Demon God included shelter for our descendants, but only one quota…
In simple terms, when I open the Divine Realm, the Demon God will come.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
