The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 724 - 300: Flowers by the Window_3

"You don’t have to do anything, just stand there."

Jin Xuanzi shook his head and said, "If Heavenly Dao notices you and believes you’re the ’Lucky One’ of the new era, then you will naturally receive the reward you deserve."

"Great! I’ll work hard!"

Yu Ruoxin, clutching her fists, suddenly felt less confident and quickly took out a shovel from her storage ring.

Once she held the shovel in both hands, she inexplicably brimmed with confidence, like a little warrior guarding a rice paddy, composedly and intently looking up at the sky.

"Hey hey hey, old man, have you forgotten something?"

Fly Moon, lying on the back of the Death Spider Queen and clutching its head, suddenly jumped up and glared at Ye Tianming with displeasure.

"Why do other people’s elders have such sharp insights?"

"Why are you, dilly-dallying, and if I don’t remind you, would you have forgotten me?"

"Ah, getting older, the memory worsens."

Ye Tianming, picking at his ear, tried to feign confusion.

"Don’t play that trick on me. Your accounting is accurate down to the year, month, and day; only a turtle stuck in the mud would believe your cock-and-bull story!"

Fly Moon cursed loudly, continuously urging,

"Hurry up!"

"You’re not worried about me, right? That’s why you don’t want me to take risks?"

"What a joke? I’m naturally gifted, born a Dazzling Flash!"

"Do I need the protection of the Tribal Array? No! Even in a defenseless space, I would still receive blessings from heaven and earth! Quick, quick, quick! Pluck a Window Flower for me!"

...

...

Those who could summon the Window Flower within the tribe would not exceed twenty people.

Among them, those who were young were even scarcer.

Narrowing the scope further, among the young people who had been sealed, only Ye Yin had used it, how could such a scene not be eye-catching?

"I want a ’Window Flower’."

After much hesitation, Ye Lingwu, as the Young King, finally called forth a treasure born of the Tribal Array.

Glass-like mist wrapped her, and Ye Hanjun couldn’t see what she was doing inside, just as others couldn’t see what he was doing.

"Those close to my age... are there seven altogether?"

One could see clearly from inside out through the glass fog, and Ye Hanjun could confirm that aside from himself, Ye Yin, and Ye Liuying, there were three others—Ye Lingwu, Ye Dong, and Ye Chun—who had opened a gap in the array.

Not counting Fly Moon, who was not of the Human Race, and adding Yu Ruoxin on the stone pillar, there were exactly seven people.

This number was slightly lower than his expectations.

He had thought that more tribe members would take the risk, but as the crucial moment approached, one was steadier than the next.

...

Reining in his distracting thoughts, Ye Hanjun selectively summoned his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits.

Mo definitely could not be summoned, as it carried half of the marks of Disaster. Such bloodlines were not favored by the natural laws, and a terrible curse that could permeate and taint the soul would befall on anyone who summoned it, turning this adventure into a complete loss.

Aegifura also wouldn’t do, she was not a Demon Enchantress of ordinary bloodline, she was both mutant and twisted, and her true form was so fragile.

Furthermore, there was no need for Ye Hanjun to persuade her. Wanting Aegifura to gamble with her looks and beauty as stakes? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Master, I’m ready."

Marks flickered, Huazhu being the first to take the stage.

Her physical frailty was roughly on par with Aegifura’s, also not well-suited for adventuring.

But no matter what, she was once a Grey Flash, having received the world’s blessing in her imperfect state, and it was worth trying out new possibilities.

"This Immortal was a first-generation member of the Feather Clan, possessing the Heavenly Seal!"

"If Tiandao takes a liking to me, hey, this Immortal will enshrine a few stone statues of the Heavenly Dao in the Holy Nest, worship them when I have nothing better to do."

"If Tiandao doesn’t want to see me, then forget it, this Immortal doesn’t need it. Sooner or later I will be king and rule over all, whether I conform to the will of heaven or defy it—this Immortal can handle it."

The carefree Goose Immortal, flapping its wings with vigor, seemed to embody these seven words throughout its being: "My fate is mine to command, not heaven’s."

It plonked down on the edge of the glass space, creating ripples that extended and isolated it just as it had with Huazhu.

"Human Master, you’re being overly cautious, is all this carefulness really necessary?"

"I’m not worried about myself."

Ye Hanjun shrugged his shoulders, "Don’t forget, you are my ’scapegoat’ right now."

"I’m having some regrets," said the Goose Immortal in its rough voice, followed by a string of muttering:

"This is clearly scheming against this Immortal’s Ability. Only Mo, that simple-minded fool, would like it and agreed without hesitation."

"Human Master, you better be thankful for this great favor of mine."

"Not only do I have to fend for myself, but I also have to carry your life on my shoulders. Perhaps this is the destiny of the powerful. One day in the future, I’ll have to shoulder the prosperity and development of the entire Holy Nest... Well, might as well give it a try now, get a head start on experiencing what it’s like to be a nanny."

"You know how to brainwash yourself; you can link anything to your dreams."

Ye Hanjun manipulated the Window Flower, sealing the Goose Immortal inside and out, creating an isolated space for it.

"Big tadpole, I want to stay with you!"

"I am a Pure Beast, I’ll definitely be able to protect you with my presence!"

GuaGua, who had already slipped out of the pocket to play, was circling around Ye Hanjun.

"That won’t do."

Without even looking, Ye Hanjun grabbed the little guy by the scruff, like picking up a small kitten, and tossed it into the next independent space.

"This time, my goal isn’t to dodge the curse, but to hope the curse comes crashing down."

"I’ve prepared myself for serious injury; medicine for limb regeneration, amulets to block the soul, jade pendants to dispel deadly poisons... I’ve prepared all the relevant treasures. If I survive this ordeal, my bag of fortune will fill up with energy. With so many cards in hand, it would be a pity not to take the gamble."

"Whirr~~~"

The glass mist sealed GuaGua inside, with its whole face pressed against the glass wall, trying hard to see Ye Hanjun clearly:

"Alright then, do your best!"

"If it doesn’t work out, don’t force yourself. My purification and healing skills are ready to be activated at any time!"
