Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 199: Why Not Give It a Try?

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Why Not Give It a Try?

Xiao Zhan was immediately frightened into a stiff expression. Right is right, what’s with the hostility?

And of course, I know there’s nothing wrong with the Sacred Flame, the problem lies with me, but I can’t possibly tell you the real answer, right?

Huo Lingjun seemed to realize that she had been a bit too fierce just now and explained, "The Artifact Spirit Form of every Holy Daughter is the Sacred Flame, which has innumerable connections to the Holy Daughter. Hence, when the Sacred Flame baptizes the clan members, those who have already entered into a Contract won’t produce any golden blossoms."

"However, you, despite being bound by a Life and Death Contract, still managed to gain recognition from the Sacred Flame, and to a full one hundred percent at that."

"Therefore, you must possess some special ability."

Huo Lingjun stared intently at Xiao Zhan, making him even more hair-raising nervous.

This old hag is really single-minded, choosing the Sacred Flame’s absoluteness over the Life and Death Contract without any bias.

"What special ability could I possibly have? I’m just a bit handsomer, a bit more talented, found a slightly prettier and more talented wife. Really, I can’t think of any special abilities I have."

Right, does frequency and duration count as special?

Huo Lingjun, not buying his quibbles, directly pulled Huo Liuli to face Xiao Zhan.

"Try entering into a Contract with her."

Try?

Upon hearing this request, Xiao Zhan felt his heart tighten!

This old hag has something up her sleeve, unable to figure out the issue, she actually suggests a direct try!

Is this something Xiao Zhan could just try?

Wouldn’t trying it out just give the game away?

"Clan Leader, don’t joke around. Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who could Contract with two Artifact Spirits. Whether I try or not is the same, let’s not waste time. I think Huo Li is quite good, how about I talk to him and let him Contract?"

Saying so, Xiao Zhan was ready to make his escape.

But Huo Lingjun was not about to let him off so easily. "As you said, trying or not is the same, so why not give it a try? Could it be, you have some guilty conscience?"

"Hehe, Clan Leader, you’re joking. What could I possibly have on my conscience? I just think it’s unnecessary. Besides, she’s the Holy Daughter, and I am an outsider. How could the Holy Daughter enter into a Contract with an outsider?"

"Rest assured on that matter. Our Earthfire Tribe isn’t so feudal. As long as one possesses the Fire Attribute, they are welcomed by us. Many in our tribe have joined from the outside."

Huo Lingjun was obviously determined to make Xiao Zhan Contract.

Seeing her so adamant, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Damn it, I really can’t afford to try this. It all goes up in smoke if I do.

Hastily, he communicated telepathically with Ye Youlong, "Your husband’s about to be taken, and you’re not going to say anything?"

Ye Youlong finally broke her silence, stepping forward and planting herself in front of Xiao Zhan, "Clan Leader, seducing my man right before my eyes, are you treating me as if I do not exist?"

The wife speaks with such domineering presence, much tougher than myself.

Good thing I also have my own toughness.

To match hers head-on! A familial imperial power struggle!

Ye Youlong’s words naturally displeased Huo Lingjun, but since she dared to bring up the matter in front of Ye Youlong, she didn’t plan to avoid addressing Ye Youlong.

Because in her view, if Xiao Zhan could Contract with Huo Liuli, then he must certainly have a way to dissolve the Contract with Ye Youlong.

So, avoiding the topic is of no significance.

The real decision lies with Xiao Zhan.

This was an open confrontation.

But outwardly, she said, "It’s just an attempt, I’m not demanding that Xiao Zhan must Contract with the Holy Daughter. This is merely to clear up a doubt in my mind."

Of course, that was a lie; if Xiao Zhan could really Contract, she would certainly not want to pass up such an opportunity.

One hundred percent recognition, likely to gain control over the Sacred Flame—how could she let someone with such potential leave!

"No need to try. The Life and Death Contract binds us, joined in life and death. Even if he could Contract, I would not allow it."

Ye Youlong made her stance abundantly clear.

Having said that, she took Xiao Zhan by the hand and left the place.

Huo Lingjun knew this matter couldn’t be rushed and didn’t stop them, just calmly saying to Xiao Zhan, "You can consider it. Liuli also has an SSS-grade talent, and she has the advantage of the Sacred Flame."

"If you can Contract, there is a chance to absorb the Sacred Flame for your own use. Then, your prospects will be limitless, reaching heights unreachable by your predecessors!"

Announcing such words was blatant seduction, luring with the prospects of the future development, amounted to declaring war on Ye Youlong!

Xiao Zhan clearly felt Ye Youlong’s aura turn icy, but she remained silent, swiftly leading him out of the room.

Only after the two’s figures had completely vanished did Huo Liuli ask Huo Lingjun, "Clan Leader, are you so confident that Xiao Zhan can Contract?"

"I’m not confident."

"Then why...?"

"I’m just confident in the choice of the Sacred Flame; I believe the Sacred Flame cannot make a mistake."

Huo Liuli fell silent.

She also believed the Sacred Flame couldn’t be wrong, but the matter of the Life and Death Contract was equally incomprehensible to her.

There had been no precedent in the world!

Then, Huo Lingjun added, "While they haven’t left yet, you should make more contact with Xiao Zhan and try to attempt a Contract with him. Just one try, and we will know everything."

Huo Lingjun herself initially had some doubts about the Sacred Flame, but when she suggested Xiao Zhan give it a try and he was unwilling, she knew Xiao Zhan must be hiding something.

Therefore, she was almost certain that Xiao Zhan must have some way to Contract with Huo Liuli.

Though it was unbelievable, this was the reality.

She might be old, but it didn’t mean her thinking was outdated.

"I understand."

Huo Liuli nodded and then excused herself.

Only Huo Lingjun remained in the room.

She lifted her head to glance at the bundle of firelight hanging high in the hall—still the same firelight, but seemingly a bit dimmer compared to the other two days.

"Could it be that my Earthfire Tribe’s hundred years of legacy is really going to perish?"

...

On the other hand, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned to their room.

Ye Youlong was furious, Huo Lingjun had actually seduced the man of her household right in front of her—utterly intolerable.

If not for the fact that there had been no actual actions taken and the Earthfire Tribe had once saved their lives, she might have exploded on the spot.

"Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Once your injury is completely healed, we’ll leave this place."

Wife’s anger, naturally, Xiao Zhan had to soothe.

Only this soothing seemed to be of no use.

Xiao Zhan helplessly said, "Then shall we leave now?"

"Why are you feeling like a guilty thief?"
