Chapter 23

There is obviously a deviation between Pei Ye's view of Hei Chi and Hei Chi's purpose for Pei Ye.

Pei Ye has been skeptical and wary of it from the very beginning, and his principle is plain and simple, which is exactly what he said to Lu Youcai, "Because there is only one poor man, everything can be calculated clearly."

I am unable to repay the favor and dare not accept the favor.Some people may feel that there is something worth remembering about being a poor boy, so they simply smash the pot and smash it, but if there is a gift, they will accept it according to the order. If there is a day to collect it, they will talk about it at that time.Pei Ye felt that Grandpa Yue should be this kind of person.

But for Pei Ye himself, it was precisely because he couldn't think of a place where he was worthy of being coveted, that he flinched and became more vigilant in the face of such rich and miraculous benefits.Cannibalism is short-sighted and soft-handed. When the gain exceeds the value of his entire life, the other party continues to try to give, and he has to worry about what price will be used to repay it.

What made him more suspicious was the activation method of [Quail Head].

"Yes." Pei Ye admitted.

"We can communicate openly—why?"

"Is this your purpose?" Pei Ye asked back.

"what?"

"Let that gourd enter my body."

"Why do you think so? Isn't revenge your own choice? Isn't killing that person your own effort?"

"..."

"You think I can weave all this together like a doll?"

"I don't know." Pei Ye said frankly, "The way you appear seems to have a lot to do with them. I feel that you are using it, and the way to activate [Quail Head] is the handprint."

"...I really can't answer your last question. This is also a puzzle for me, because [quail head] is not my ability, I just... hold it temporarily." Hei Chi thought of a suitable expression, Continued, "As for the first two concerns, I've been open with you the whole time. 'I help you, and you help me', remember?"

Pei Ye nodded slowly: "Remember. You saved my life last night, and today's blood revenge depends on the power of the quail head. No matter what, I will repay this friendship."

"Okay, then you and I make a contract, how about it?"

"……what?"

"That's how you help me."

"I don't understand."

"Things like us are born with profound energy. We only improve with age. Only by forming a destiny contract with others can we adopt the mysterious energy outside our body. To put it bluntly, we just want to get some light from you and touch your destiny. It enables me to control the profound energy of heaven and earth - what do you humans call it, 'Zhixuan'? In contrast, you can also get corresponding benefits from me."

Pei Ye thought: "Since it is mutually beneficial, how can I count it as a favor to you?"

"Because I am in danger now, I need this life contract to strengthen myself, and this contract is called [Fate with Prosperity and Death]. If something happens to me, you will also suffer heavy losses."

"Shall I help you?"

"You can't help, it's enough to make a contract with me."

"Then...why did you choose me?" Pei Ye finally asked, "Or, is there anything special about you as the candidate for the contract?"

"Fate."

"..." Pei Ye was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "What is fate?"

"Since it is a fate contract, it is natural to have a fate match. Different beasts have different types of people with a fate contract. This is a kind of screening in the dark. If you have to put it in human language, it is barely "young." The words ''sword'', ''clear state of mind'' and ''resolute''."

"I won't be young forever." Pei Ye had the spirit of earnest inquiry.

"Simply represents the choice of the here and now."

"Well."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"When you get through the crisis, can this contract be resolved?"

"Troublesome, but doable."

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you save my life first, and I am naturally willing to take the risk for you - how to get this contract?"

"Good question." Hei Chi said in a calm tone, "The two parties must be intertwined in life and death before the contract can be concluded."

Pei Ye suddenly said, "You saved me once last night, and I will find a way to save you again, so this contract can be concluded?"

"You've already saved me once."

Pei Ye was startled: "When?"

Hei Chi turned his huge head, and Pei Ye witnessed the appearance of this creature for the first time—majestic, deep, magnificent, without the horns, but also a little more delicate and light.Every detail is meticulously carved, and every scale is glowing with jade.

And in the center of the Chi's head, a pair of green eyes as clear as glass looked at him quietly.

Pei Ye was shocked and lost his voice: "Are you the one——"

"Not exactly." Hei Chi turned back, "There is no need to apply herbal medicine to it."

"Then...how will this contract be concluded?"

"It's very simple, you just have to say 'Pei Ye, Quail Head' once."

"Pei Ye, quail head." Pei Ye tried.

"The mysterious fire is really heavy." Hei Chi replied.

Pei Ye felt something connected.

A chi shadow surrounded by a blue light cluster emerged in the dantian, and he clearly felt that [quail head] was in it, and this fairy-like ability was solidified in his dantian through this chi shadow.

"Is this all right?" Pei Ye didn't feel any change.

"All right."

"If you had said you were that cat..."

"A cat that has been with you for two days can make you trust?"

"Well, it's a little sweeter, and I like it."

"You'd better not treat others as pets without permission."

"……sorry."

"Since fate is the same, may I ask you a question." Pei Ye was silent for a while and said, "What's going on with my body now?"

In this dream, he was able to look inside himself, and the good news is that all the wounds in his internal organs were healed, and all the traces left by the little tarsal maggot-like heart disappeared.The bad news is that his dantian seed has also disappeared, leaving only a solid blue light cluster in his dantian seed.

"To put it simply, you have achieved what that person was going to achieve." Hei Chi pondered for a while, "But I don't know what such a body can do."

"Will I become such a monster?" Pei Ye raised his forearm covered with blue lines.

"No, but it will still transform your body to some extent. The result of this transformation should achieve the original purpose of Zhushijiao, but it may be good or bad for you."

Hei Chi thought for a while, and said, "Based on my guess, your dantian should be a mass of nutrients for seeds to grow."

"Seeds? Dantian seeds? But my Dantian seeds have been melted by it."

"Yes, ordinary dantian seeds can only be used as fertilizer." Hei Chi thought over and over again, "So I think that what can grow in it should be a stronger and more specific seed."

"...I have never heard that Dantian seeds can be replaced."

"No?" Hei Chi was a little surprised, "Why do I think this should be a very common thing?"

It thought for a while and said a little irritably: "...I have lost a lot of memories."

Pei Ye gently patted the huge body beneath him.

"But I should be right." Hei Chi finally said firmly, "You need to find this seed, Zhushijiao must know where it is."
