The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 612 - 263: Dazzling Flash (Rush for 2024!) _2

"As a member of the Ye Clan, you must understand the value of the fruit."

"..."

Ye Hanjun opened his mouth, but in the blink of an eye, he could only marvel at the audacity of the Demon Cave.

Losing a bit of flesh and blood was indeed trivial for Mo.

Should the Demon Cave discover something of value from their research, it could potentially aid in future cultivation.

"I, Mo, have no issues, but this thing... I can’t persuade it."

Ye Hanjun was previously hesitant, but he instantly responded affirmatively.

Of course, he could only agree to Mo’s proposal, since it simply was unfitting to forcefully pursue the same agreement with Aegifura for the sake of some benefits.

The Changing Demon Fox gave a slight smile, a captivating scene even among the crowd of women.

"Since we’ve confirmed that she’s a variant of the ’Demon Enchantress,’ it seems like she can’t escape from the word ’entice.’"

"Here’s the deal, Miss Seductress. As long as you’re willing to give a cluster of your hair, a tiny bit of powdered demon horn, and three drops of your vital blood, we from the Demon Cave will gift you a ’Youth Tree.’ How does that sound?"

"Get lost!"

Aegifura, once again gaining the ability to speak, instantly started cursing.

"Miss Seductress, are you perhaps uninformed about the ’Youth Tree’?"

The Changing Demon Fox glanced at Ye Hanjun, before turning to Aegifura and started explaining in detail:

"It’s a highly valued spiritual object that only grows once every five thousand years."

"As long as you possess this tree, consuming a drop of tree sap every year will conserve your youth and beauty. Even the scars left on your body after an injury... can all be eradicated."

"..."

Aegifura swallowed back the curses that she had previously intended to release.

"It seems that Miss Seductress is swayed. How about we settle on this?"

The Changing Demon Fox remained smiling. Her every move was filled with confidence.

"..."

Behind the turning rims of Aegifura’s Four Magatama eyes...

It was as though she was battling with herself internally. It was only after over thirty seconds that she took a deep breath and reluctantly replied,

"Three drops of vital blood is too much!"

"There’s something Miss Seductress seems unaware of."

The Changing Demon Fox assured confidently:

"If you don’t extract the old blood and directly process the Youth Tree’s sap, given your current status, there’s a risk that your body might explode."

"I actually think that you should extract even more, to aid the breeding and rebuilding of new blood."

"..."

Aegifura frowned, with half belief.

"If Miss Seductress doesn’t believe my words, I can call the manager right now and present the Youth Tree to you."

"Whatever, I guess you wouldn’t dare to deceive me!"

Aegifura bit through her lip, and crimson blood dribbled down the corner of her mouth.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp nail scraped against the back of her head, cutting off a tuft of her white hair.

When the nail fell on the demon horn, Aegifura let out a muffled groan and her face showed a trace of pain.

"The demon horn is too hard. Let me help you."

The Changing Demon Fox took a timely step closer, her orange tail stirring up an enticing wind.

Immediately, a sharp tip fell off the demon horn atop Aegifura’s head.

"Hair! Demon horn! Vital blood! I’ve given you everything!"

"Human, send me back!"

"Wait until I get the Youth Tree and I’ll let you keep it for a while, but remember! That’s my possession, you’re not allowed to use it sneakily!"

Aegifura, who was fuming in rage and roaring like an evil dragon, vanished from sight.

After sending her back to the Contract Space, Ye Hanjun gave a thumbs-up and praised the Changing Demon Fox heartily.

"Your Highness, every contracted fond spirit, irrespective of its temperament, has a soft spot and a lacking area."

"Although it was our first meeting, I think that Miss Seductress lacks a sense of security. To live in peace with her will likely require a longer period of time to melt the ice in her heart."

"I appreciate the lesson."

Ye Hanjun, solemnly respectful, immediately bowed in reply to the Changing Demon Fox.

"Your Highness, the Demon Cave only needs three drops of the vital blood, the two extra drops can be yours."

The Changing Demon Fox separated the blood drops, putting three of them inside a jade porcelain bottle while sending the remaining two drops in front of Ye Hanjun.

Ye Hanjun was caught by surprise, but he didn’t refuse after some hesitation.

He also took out an exquisite medicine bottle and collected a single drop of blood inside it.

The other drop was lightly touched by the Blood Slicing Knife and got absorbed into its indents.

"Mo, another cut?"

"Stronger! I can endure more pain!"

Ye Hanjun nodded, and the Blood Slicing Knife cut through the white bandage, once again drawing the colorful demon blood.

Afterwards, he summoned the Goose Immortal and Huazhu, respectively, and also mixed their blood into it.

The Changing Demon Fox’s rules didn’t explicitly state that the Blood Lure must be from a demon, or a contracted fond spirit close to a demon.

Since that was the case, besides refraining from using Guagua’s blood out of compassion, he decided to combine everything else that could be utilized.

"Swoosh!"

The Goose Immortal was resilient and sturdy, and didn’t mind a bit of blood extraction.

Huazhu suffered a loss, as she was weak and her witch blood was extremely precious.

Fortunately, the Blood Slicing Knife didn’t blind draw. It would stop immediately once it detected that the target’s vitality was frail.

"Swoosh!"

Finally, Ye Hanjun cut open his wrist again, allowing the Blood Slicing Knife to extract his own blood.

Just as the dizzying sensation began to well up inside him, the knife fell, and a fist-sized, gold-red gemstone finally formed.

"Such a color... it’s my first time seeing it."

The Changing Demon Fox held her chin with her fingers, her surprise gradually intensifying.

"Your Highness, do keep in mind that whether it’s your blood or Mo’s blood, it can instantly attract a demon’s attention."
