"Please … Please agree to sign a master-slave contract with me …" Grim Demon's words left Zhou Wen alarmed.
"What's a master-slave contract?" Zhou Wen learned about the two types of Guardian contracts from Wang Mingyuan.
One was a Guardian contract. This type of contract was relatively equal. Both parties could terminate the contract at any time and had the right to abandon the other party.
The second was an eternal contract. It could only be terminated when one party died. It was relatively fair, but Guardians had unlimited lifespans. Therefore, typically, the human party died first before the contract could be terminated.
"I'm willing to sign the contract as a slave. My life and death are in Master's hands …" Grim Demon explained the effects and methods of the master-slave contract in detail.
After Zhou Wen heard that, he felt that the contract was very good. Grim Demon's life and death were in his hands. Furthermore, if the master died, the Guardian would die with him. It was perfect.
With the master-slave contract, Zhou Wen didn't have to consider any of his previous worries. It was great.
"Since you have made such a sincere request, I'll be too embarrassed not to agree. Alright, I'll agree to be your master, "Zhou Wen agreed happily.
"Who wants you to be my master? I want to invite that … Lord … to be my master …" Grim Demon immediately said.
Zhou Wen's expression stiffened as he immediately understood what Grim Demon meant. He wanted to sign a master-slave contract with Demonic Neonate, not him.
"You want to sign a master-slave contract with my Companion Beast?" Zhou Wen asked the black cocoon.
"Yes," Grim Demon answered with certainty.
Could it be that Demonic Neonate really had a great background when she was alive? Or is it because Demonic Neonate possesses the Life Soul of a Supreme True Demon? Zhou Wen summoned Demonic Neonate again and pointed at the black cocoon. "Do you know what that is?"
Demonic Neonate glanced at the black cocoon and shook her head. Her face was filled with confusion.
"He wants to be your Guardian. Are you willing?" Zhou Wen asked again.
Demonic Neonate shook her head again with a blank expression. It was unknown if she knew what a Guardian meant.
"As you can see, she's unwilling to take you in," Zhou Wen said to the black cocoon.
There was no sound from the black cocoon. Zhou Wen walked out of the Demon Suppression Hall with Demonic Neonate, but he didn't hear Grim Demon's voice again.
What's different about Demonic Neonate that makes Grim Demon so reverent to the point of signing a master-slave contract? Zhou Wen couldn't guess.
Thankfully, he had the mysterious phone. He planned to bring Demonic Neonate into the game and see how the black cocoon would react.
Outside Jade Emperor Peak, Zhou Wen opened the Demon Suppression Mountain dungeon and brought Demonic Neonate into the Demon Suppression Hall before arriving in front of the black cocoon again.
The black cocoon in-game wasn't as intelligent as Grim Demon in reality. No one said a word as Zhou Wen attempted to get Demonic Neonate to approach the black cocoon.
Demonic Neonate carried the ancient sword and slowly walked to the side of the black cocoon. She extended a tiny hand and pressed it on the black cocoon.
The demonic aura in the black cocoon immediately erupted, sending the demonic infant flying. Fortunately, the demonic infant seemed to have a high resistance to demonic aura, so she wasn't injured.
Strange. Demonic Neonate's strength isn't enough to fight Grim Demon at all. She can't even withstand the demonic aura she emits. Why does Grim Demon think so highly of her and even say that he's afraid of her? Zhou Wen was momentarily unable to figure out the crux of the problem.
However, Demonic Neonate was somewhat odd. After she came into contact with the black cocoon and demonic aura, she actually began to attack the black cocoon. She opened her mouth as though she wanted to bite the black cocoon.
Although the demonic aura sent her retreating time and time again, the powerful demonic aura couldn't injure Demonic Neonate's body. However, Demonic Neonate's strength was still too weak, so she couldn't break through the demonic aura's defense.
There's indeed a problem. Zhou Wen pulled Demonic Neonate and summoned her into reality. He stared into her eyes and asked, "Why do you want to attack the black cocoon?"
"Eat." Demonic Neonate answered with a simple word. She didn't know many languages to begin with. Zhou Wen had taught her for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak.
It was already very rare for her to say a word this time.
"You want to eat that black cocoon?" Zhou Wen confirmed again.
Demonic Neonate didn't say a word this time and only nodded.
Zhou Wen immediately understood why Grim Demon had converged his demonic aura after Demonic Neonate came out and didn't dare move. He was afraid of attracting Demonic Neonate's attention.
"Is there any benefit to eating the black cocoon?" Zhou Wen asked again.
Demonic Neonate shook her head with a blank expression. Clearly, this was only her instinct. Even she didn't know what use eating the black cocoon or Grim Demon in the black cocoon had.
"Do you know what a contract means?" Zhou Wen asked her again.
Demonic Neonate nodded slightly. From the looks of it, she knew what a contract was.
Zhou Wen's expression changed. There was indeed an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't know what would happen if a Companion Beast had a Guardian.
Logically speaking, Demonic Neonate is my Companion Beast. If Grim Demon is her slave Guardian, it should be very easy to control Grim Demon, right?
Zhou Wen asked Demonic Neonate again, "If you sign a master-slave contract with the creature in the black cocoon, will it harm you?"
Demonic Neonate thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"If the initiative of the contract is completely in your hands, you can consider signing a master-slave contract with the Guardian in the black cocoon. In that case, wouldn't his life be in your hands? If you want to eat him, you should be able to do so at any time, right? How about treating it as food reserves? "Zhou Wen was only making a suggestion. He didn't know if this method was feasible.
When Demonic Neonate heard that, she lowered her head as though she was in deep thought. After a while, she nodded and said, "Yes … Contract … Food reserves …"
Although Demonic Neonate's words weren't clear, Zhou Wen still understood what she meant. Overjoyed, he brought her into the Demon Suppression Hall again.
As he walked, Zhou Wen persuaded, "After we sign the contract, there's no rush to eat it. There are still many fruits here. Treat them as food reserves. We can eat them after the fruits are finished."
"Food reserves … I won't eat them …" Demonic Neonate thought seriously before nodding.
"Very good. How smart." Zhou Wen stroked Demonic Neonate's head and praised her.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the spot where Grim Demon was suppressed. Zhou Wen went up and said to Grim Demon, "Grim Demon, I persuaded her for a long time. She finally agreed to contract with you, but it has to be a master-slave contract."
"Of course," Grim Demon answered quickly. Grim Demon quickly answered. From his tone, it was as though what Zhou Wen said was nonsense. It was only right for him to sign a master-slave contract with Demonic Neonate.
Zhou Wen originally wanted to tell Demonic Neonate how to use the master-slave contract and get her to be careful when contracting. If she felt that something was amiss, she could immediately stop the contract.
However, to his surprise, Demonic Neonate seemed to be more familiar with contracts than him. She walked straight to the black cocoon and pressed her hand on it.
