The Lord who use immortals as food

Chapter 23 A Destiny of Destiny

Pei Ye's view of Hei Chi and Hei Chi's purpose for Pei Ye are obviously different.

Pei Ye had been suspicious and wary of it from the beginning. His principles were simple and simple. It was exactly what he said to Lu Youcai, "It is precisely because he is a poor man now that he has to figure everything out clearly."

I am unable to repay the favor and dare not accept the favor. Some people may think that they, a poor boy, have something worthy of being remembered, so they might as well break the pot and throw it away, but if there is a gift, they will accept it as ordered. If there is a day of collection, we will talk about it then. Pei Ye felt that Grandpa Yue should be this kind of person.

But for Pei Ye himself, it was precisely because he could not think of anything worthy of being coveted that he became even more cautious in the face of such rich and magical benefits. He is short-tongued and soft-handed. When what he gets exceeds the value of his entire life, the other person continues to try to give, and he has to worry about how much it will cost to repay it.

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

"Yes." Pei Ye admitted.

“We can talk openly – why?”

"Is this your purpose?" Pei Ye asked.

"What?"

"Let that gourd enter me."

"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 be very involved with them. I feel like you are taking advantage of me, and the way to activate [Quail Head] is that 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, He continued, "As for the first two doubts, I have always been calm with you. 'I help you, and then you help me', remember?"

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

"Okay, how about you and I making a contract?"

"……What?"

"This is 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 fate. 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 to both parties, how can I be considered as a favor to you?"

"Because I am in a dangerous situation now, I need this destiny contract to strengthen myself even more. And this contract is called [Fate with prosperity and decline]. Once something unexpected happens to me, you will also be hit hard."

"Do you want me to 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, "In other words, do you have any special requirements for choosing me for the contract?"

"Destiny."

"..." Pei Ye was obviously not satisfied with this answer, "What is fate?"

"Since it is a destiny contract, it is natural that the destiny matches. Different beasts have different types of people with destiny contracts. This is a kind of screening in the dark. If you must ask me to put it in human language, then it would be 'young' "Sword", "clear mind" and "perseverance"."

"I won't be young forever." Pei Ye has a spirit of serious inquiry.

"It only represents the choice of the here and now."

"Well."

"Do you have any other questions?"

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

"Troublesome, but okay."

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, if you save my life first, I will naturally be willing to take the risk for you - how do I 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 realized: "You saved me once last night, and I will find a way to save you again. Can this contract be forged?"

"You've already saved me once."

Pei Ye was startled: "When?"

Hei Chi turned his huge head, and Pei Ye saw the appearance of this creature for the first time - majestic, deep, and magnificent. It lacked the horns, but at the same time it was a little more delicate and light. Every detail is carefully carved, and every scale is gleaming with jade.

And in the center of the Chi's head, a pair of blue 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's no need to apply herbal medicine to it."

"Then...how to conclude this contract?"

"It's very simple, you just need to recite '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 shadow of Chi surrounded by a faint blue light appeared in his dantian, and he clearly felt that the [Quail Head] was within it. This immortal-like ability was solidified in his Dantian through this shadow of Chi.

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

"alright."

"If you had told me you were that cat..."

"Can you trust a cat that you've been with for two days?"

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

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

"……sorry."

"Since we share the same fate, can 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 could look inside himself. The good news was that all the injuries to his internal organs were healed, and all the traces left by the small maggot-like core of the tarsal bones had disappeared. The bad news is that his Dantian Seed has also disappeared, leaving only a solid blue light group.

"To put it simply, you achieved what that person originally wanted to achieve." Hei Chi pondered for a moment, "But I don't know what use 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 the Zhushi Cult, but it may be between good and bad for you."

Hei Chi thought for a while and said: "According to my guess, your Dantian should be a ball of nutrients for the growth of seeds."

"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 more powerful and 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. The Zhushi Sect must know where it is."
