Chapter 95: Ninety-five, Contract Chapter 95: Ninety-five, Contract After Song Yan Ning made her decision, she quickly stepped forward.
Qin Yushen also collapsed at the same time, his eyes filled with remorse and apology. He had promised to protect Xiao Ning, but he failed. I’m sorry, Xiao Ning!
The Luohua Cave Girl sneered coldly and pounced toward Qin Yushen. She naturally saw Song Yan Ning, but she didn’t take her seriously. She planned to devour Qin Yushen’s soul first, and then deal with Song Yan Ning later.
Seeing that the Luohua Cave Girl didn’t regard her as a threat, Song Yan Ning’s lips curled into a smile, and just as she was about to get close to the Luohua Cave Girl, she swiftly flicked a drop of demon blood.
The demon blood entered the Luohua Cave Girl’s forehead, causing her icy gaze to instantly become stunned. The next moment, a light shot from her forehead, enveloping her entirely.
Seeing this, Song Yan Ning sighed in relief. It worked!
Walking over to Qin Yushen, Song Yan Ning crouched down to check on him. Finding that he had fainted due to exhaustion of his spiritual power and physical strength, she felt relieved and placed a medicine pill into his mouth.
As the light receded, the Luohua Cave Girl approached Song Yan Ning, kneeling respectfully before her and said, “I see you, master!”
Song Yan Ning nodded slightly, stood up, and looked at the Luohua Cave Girl, “What is your name?” It was good to have contracted the Luohua Cave Girl; her strength was not inferior to that of a cultivator at mid-stage foundation establishment.
“Xiang.” The Luohua Cave Girl replied.
Song Yan Ning glanced around at the corpse insects, “Did you make these?”
“Yes, master!” Xiang nodded. The reason she could transform into a demon was by consuming the souls of these people.
“From now on, you are not allowed to consume souls without my permission, or I will disperse your soul completely. Do you understand?” Song Yan Ning sternly warned.
“Yes! Xiang will definitely remember the master’s words,” Xiang responded respectfully.
Song Yan Ning turned to look at Qin Yushen, seeing his eyelashes tremble slightly, she knew he was about to wake up. She crouched down, touched him, and instructed Xiang, “Disperse all these corpse insects.”
“Yes!” Xiang nodded, waving her hand to disperse the corpse insects.
“Carry him and follow me.” Song Yan Ning stood up and flew away in the direction they came from.
Qin Yushen woke up and saw that it was already daylight. After recalling the events that happened, he hastily sat up and looked around. He wasn’t dead? Who saved him? How was Xiao Ning? Was she also all right?
“You’re awake?” Song Yan Ning’s voice came from behind Qin Yushen. Guided by Xiang, she had found many spirit grasses. Although they were all first and second level, she was quite satisfied.
A flash of joy crossed Qin Yushen’s eyes, and he happily turned to look at Song Yan Ning. His expression changed abruptly when he saw Xiang standing behind her, and quickly stood up, pulling out his dagger, “Xiao Ning, run!”
“No need to panic, she’s with me now,” Song Yan Ning said, touched by his concern. This trip to JiYin Land had significantly changed her view of him, and she could clearly feel his concern.
“She’s with you?” Qin Yushen said in surprise, looking at Song Yan Ning and then at Xiang, noticing the absence of her earlier malevolence, “How did you subdue her?” He was really curious, knowing that even he was no match for her, and Song Yan Ning’s cultivation was clearly much lower than his.
“I contracted her,” Song Yan Ning did not hide the truth, though she did not elaborate on the process.
“You know how to use magic for contracting?” His curiosity about Xiao Ning’s past identity deepened. Even a genius disciple of a major sect wouldn’t likely know alchemy, forging magic artifacts, setting up formations, and contracting magic.
“I know a bit. Has your spiritual power recovered?” Song Yan Ning asked with a smile. Her extensive knowledge was due to her being the young princess of the Demon Clan, inheriting all of their legacies.
Qin Yushen nodded, “Almost.”
“Then let’s head back,” Song Yan Ning said, leading Xiang forward. Zhang Dahai and Liu Qingshan must be anxious not seeing them.
Zhang Dahai opened his eyes and checked his watch in bewilderment. It was nearly ten in the morning. He had never slept so long before; it must have been because he drank too much last night.
Rubbing his groggy head, Zhang Dahai got up and headed toward the bathroom. He wondered if Qingshan had taken the two kids to the mountains.
“Bang, bang, bang!” A series of urgent knocks rang out.
“Coming, coming,” Zhang Dahai said while brushing his teeth, moving forward to open the door.
“Dahai, the children are missing,” Liu Qingshan said anxiously. He had just woken up a while ago, and remembering the plans made yesterday, went to find Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning to tell them they’d go out in the afternoon. But after repeatedly knocking, there was no response from either room, and when he pushed the doors open, both were empty.
“They probably went out to play,” Zhang Dahai turned and walked toward the bathroom.
Liu Qingshan followed him into the room, standing at the bathroom door, “I’m afraid they might have gone to JiYin Land.” If they really had gone there, it would be a one-way trip. How could he explain it to the Song Family and the Qin Family?
“They couldn’t have found it; it’s not that easy to locate,” Zhang Dahai reasoned, finishing his mouthwash and placing his toothbrush and cup back on the rack before grabbing a towel. “And the map is so complex. How could two kids understand it? Just relax, they probably went to play nearby. Let me change my clothes, and I’ll come with you to look for them.” After washing his face, Zhang Dahai hung up the towel and walked out of the bathroom to the closet, pulling out a T-shirt. Although the kids were brave, they were still just children and would not dare venture to JiYin Land without their protection.
“Okay,” Liu Qingshan nodded. He hoped it wasn’t as he feared.
Just as Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen reached the entrance of the village, they spotted Liu Qingshan, who was anxiously asking passersby.
“Have you seen two children, a girl aged seven and a boy aged twelve, about this tall?” Liu Qingshan gestured their heights. He and Dahai had searched around and hadn’t found Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning; Dahai had gone to find the village chief, planning to have some people join them in the search.
“Uncle Qingshan!” Song Yan Ning waved at Liu Qingshan.
Following the voice, Liu Qingshan saw Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen; his tensed heart finally relaxed. As long as they were safe, he wouldn’t have to face an impossible explanation.
