Yan Xi furrowed her brows when she heard Chi Li’s shameless words.

He was right. She was too weak now. If she expelled him by force, she would only bring disaster to herself.

Chi Li had lived in the bracelet for tens of thousands of years as a soul. An old demon like him was not some weakling. His enemies would certainly not be weak either. If he were to attract them here, she would probably be the first to die.

Seeing that Yan Xi was silent, the corners of Chi Li’s lips curled up arrogantly, and he said, “Foolish girl, if you pay me contribution points on time and give me the spiritual items that can nourish your soul, I can guarantee that I won’t cause you any trouble. If I’m in a good mood, I can even give you a few pointers. How about it?”

Yan Xi did not expect that he would threaten her when she had just threatened him to drive him out.

Alas…

This old demon had miscalculated.

She, Yan Xi, hated being threatened the most.

Yan Xi walked out expressionlessly. “Let’s find a manure pit further away and throw this thing away.”

As long as she threw it far away, the old demon’s enemies would not be able to hurt her.

Chi Li was shocked!

The expression of the originally leisurely and proud Chi Li suddenly changed. His handsome face became flustered and exasperated.

Afraid that the place he was living in was really a manure pit, he said anxiously, “Little girl, don’t you want to get rid of the ice poison in your body?!

Yan Xi, who was about to step out, stopped.

“You have a way to get rid of it?”

“Naturally, I do!” Chi Li snorted coldly, “My natal fire is the nemesis of all cold things. The ice poison in your body is no exception.”

Yan Xi’s heart could not help but beat faster. The ice in her veins was the cause of her inability to cultivate. If she could get rid of it, her body might be able to cultivate.

However, Yan Xi was still a little wary of the old demon in the bracelet.

She muttered, “Why should I believe you?”

This was the first time in his tens of thousands of years of life that he had taken the initiative to help others. Hearing this, Chi Li’s face turned dark.

He, Chi Li, had shown a rare bit of kindness in tens of thousands of years, yet he was still doubted.

However, when he thought of the manure pit that this wicked girl had mentioned, he decided to endure it.

He would not argue with a little girl who had yet to grow up.

“I can sign a contract with you,” Chi Le said, “However, I’m not a good person either. I have conditions for helping you. I can help you deal with the ice poison, but at the same time, you can’t throw the bracelet into the manure pit! Also, if necessary, you must find spirit herbs for me to recover my power.”

Yan Xi raised her eyebrows. “This trade isn’t fair, right? You’re only helping me deal with the ice poison, but I still have to help you find spirit herbs to recover your power. And I don’t even know what state your soul is in right now. If you can’t recover even after collecting a hundred years’ worth of spirit herbs, then wouldn’t I be bound to you for life?”

“A hundred years?”

As soon as Yan Xi finished speaking, she heard a low and domineering voice in her mind, full of surprise.

“What are you thinking? With you alone, a hundred years is not even enough for me to recover ten percent of my power.”

Chi Li snorted coldly.

Heavenly treasures that could restore a soul’s power were the rarest. Even in his plane, they were extremely rare. To be able to find one in this lower plane was almost unheard of.

Yan Xi was rendered speechless.

Was he trying to stay here forever?

“With your current cultivation level, even if a heavenly treasure that can restore a soul’s power really appears, you won’t be able to get your hands on it.”

Yan Xi did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the old demon’s voice was filled with contempt.

“Don’t worry. After I help you deal with the ice poison, I will guide you in your cultivation. The higher a cultivator’s realm, the longer their lifespan. A hundred years is but a snap of a finger away.” Chi Li raised his chin slightly, and a trace of arrogance flowed out of his inextinguishable golden eyes. “I don’t even know how many people want to ask for my guidance but cannot. Foolish girl, you’re the first one to receive such a boon.”

The bracelet had already been bound to her, and if he wanted to continue staying in it, he had to build a good relationship with this little girl.

He had lived in the bracelet for more than ten thousand years, but this was the first time he felt such a strong power coming from the bracelet. It could wake up his broken soul which had been in a constant state of sleep.

Just a few hours ago, the power of the bracelet suddenly became stronger, which woke him up from his deep sleep. Then, he watched as the little girl started to torture the scumbag.

Although he did not know what was going on with the bracelet, he could feel that the changes were related to this little girl.

Yan Xi’s mouth twitched when she heard Chi Li’s arrogant words. “Should I feel honored?”

Unfortunately, a certain someone did not hear her sarcasm at all. He nodded arrogantly. “Of course.”

Yan Xi was rendered speechless.

Although she could not see the appearance of the old demon in the bracelet, she could already imagine how arrogant he was from his voice.

“Ugly girl, have you thought about it? Do you want to sign a contract with me?” Chi Li snorted.”The ice poison in your body is divine ice. I can guarantee that in this world, other than my natal fire, there is nothing to help you get rid of the ice poison in your body.”

Yan Xi pondered for a while. “Sure, but I’ll say this first. Helping you recover your soul’s power must be within my own power.”

Rather than being a good-for-nothing for the rest of her life, she might as well take a gamble.

“Naturally,” A low and restrained voice sounded in her mind, and Yan Xi vaguely felt a golden flame enter her forehead.

Unable to detect the other party’s malice, Yan Xi released her spiritual sense to allow it to enter.

Her spiritual sense and the golden flames were intertwined, and they forced a force that entered their bodies.

However, the next second, a sudden change occurred!

Yan Xi’s soul suddenly trembled.

A golden light outlined a complex rune under her feet, and the bracelet responded with a golden light.

A warm power flowed through Yan Xi and Chi Li’s bodies.

Chi Li felt a mysterious energy flowing through his entire body. His soul instantly became much more solid. It was actually even more effective than his thousand years of deep sleep!

However, before he could be happy, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“A life contract? You are going to die!” The light in Chi Li’s golden eyes brightened, and a cluster of blazing flames seemed to be overflowing from the bottom of his eyes.

He should have just signed an ordinary contract of mutual assistance with this human girl under the witness of the laws of heaven and earth. However, that contract had suddenly become a life contract between a demon and a human!

However, he was the one who initiated the signing of the contract. The little girl in front of him clearly did not know how to sign a contract. He could not blame her for suddenly changing the contract into a life contract, so he could only suffer in silence.

Chi Li fiercely frowned. He could not understand how he could sign a life contract with a human in his current state.

However, before he could recover from his shock, a loud bang came from outside.

Yan Xi seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and fell to the ground without warning. Her body curled up, and she was twitching in great pain.
