Chapter 1074 - Ginseng Fruit (1/2)

“Soul Contract? To become his servant?”

The Ten-Headed Guardian Lion was extremely ticked when Soulcutter suggested it. In any other situation, the pride of a Primordial Celestial, or his own love for freedom, would never allow himself to serve others. However, the Human adventurer that was tugging his fur was truly intimidating. Who knew what he would do if he was angry. Then again, it was better to live as a powerful being’s servant than to die meaninglessly.

“There, I’ve given you a path to live. It’s up to you whether you want to take it,” said Soulcutter before flashing back into the sheath. Even though he was a little disgruntled about becoming Jiang Fei’s weapon, he was not any happier when he was still free. He was this very same Guardian Lion’s servant!

When the Guardian Lion mentioned about treating Soulcutter nicely, it was when Soulcutter was serving him as his underling. As a matter of fact, he was really good as an underling. However, Soulcutter only mentioned soul contract because of an old grudge. If the Guardian Lion offered his soul contract to Jiang Fei, he would be effectively lowering himself to the same rank as Soulcutter. That kind of ending that would sate Soulcutter.

“Sigh…” the Guardian Lion sighed under his breath and said, “my lord, I am willing you follow you if you would spare my life!”

“Hoo? Are you saying you would be mine?” Jiang Fei clarified again.

“Yes. As long as I live, I shall become your most loyal servant!” said the Guardian Lion with pride. Even though there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, it was better than dying meaninglessly.

“Interesting… Before you do so, I want to see that treasure of yours!” said Jiang Fei with an evil grin. That was his plan all along—to completely own the Primordial Celestial. However, that did not mean that he would give up on the treasure now that he had mentioned it.

“Yes! Immediately!” cried the Guardian Lion. Since he was already offering himself to Jiang Fei, there was no meaning in keeping the treasure to himself.

The Lion materialized a silver box. When opened, it revealed a bright red light.

“Eh… A Holy item…?” said Jiang Fei, a little disheartened. Although it was a valuable tier, it was disappointing to see a Primordial Celestial to have only that tier.

“My lord, this is no ordinary Holy item!” said the Guardian Lion immediately when it noticed that Jiang Fei was not satisfied with it.

“What is it?” Jiang Fei asked, without being too overly curious.

“Have a look at it yourself.”

Ginseng Fruit (Spirit Fruit, Holy)

Use: Immediately increase 10 Levels.

Note: Effective only for High Celestial or under.

“HOLY SH*T INDEED!” Jiang Fei thought to himself. Unfortunately, his expression betrayed him.

“My lord, I know this Spirit Fruit would not be of any use to yourself but it would be extremely useful for your underlings!” said the Guardian Lion. He had kept this Ginseng Fruit for some time and wanted to give it to one of his better underlings. Unfortunately, all of them were killed off by Miluya. Since he was becoming someone else’s underling, the Fruit served no purpose but to please his master. He himself was already a High Celestial and could not use it for himself.
