Ch 365: Before The Contract

Rong Yingran went out and exchanged a glance with Zhao Qingming outside the door, gave a sweet smile and ran away, leaving Zhao Qingming staring blankly at Rong Yingran’s back.

Chaoyang disdainfully curled her lips: “They’re all gone far away!”

Zhao Qingming turned to Chaoyang and chuckled foolishly, making Chaoyang speechless.

Others are so obvious, yet he still doesn’t know how to confess, it’s really making her anxious.

But she promised Rong Yingran not to tell Zhao Qingming, so Chaoyang could only stare at Zhao Qingming and sigh constantly, scaring Zhao Qingming stiff, his face full of bewilderment.

“Why are you pulling my sister?” He subconsciously touched his face, “Is there something on my face?”

Chaoyang said speechlessly: “There’s an idiot!”

“Ah?” Zhao Qingming clearly didn’t understand Chaoyang’s implication.

Ignoring Zhao Qingming’s questioning, Chaoyang went downstairs by herself.

In the living room on the first floor, eighteen radiant people were already seated, waiting for Chaoyang’s arrival.

“Father, you look much younger!” Rong Yingran’s father, Rong Ji, said excitedly.

“Yes, Master Rong was already young, now he looks like an eighteen-year-old young man!” Zhan Bo didn’t care how exaggerated his flattery was.

In his heart, Rong Tianlu was his idol, he even wanted to praise Rong Tianlu as looking like a newborn baby.

But on second thought, it felt like he was insulting someone, so he changed the age.

“Hehe…Little Zhan, your mouth!” Rong Tianlu was amused and couldn’t stop smiling.

Looking at his clean white hands without age spots, his face was full of uncontainable joy, and his mind was much clearer than before.

It was as if he had suddenly grasped the multiplication table after only knowing 1+1.

“Father, look.” Rong Lingran rolled up his trouser leg, his leg, which had been somewhat atrophied from lying down for a long time, had completely recovered.

It was even stronger than before.

Rong Ji nodded repeatedly, before Li Zhique said that it would take more than a year to recover, but now it’s all healed after cultivating the Cultivation Technique.

Before, when Rong Yingran talked about the magical nature of the Cultivation Technique, he thought it was a bit exaggerated, now he only thinks Rong Yingran’s expressive ability is poor.

It seems that he needs to hire a tutor!

The Rong Family chatted happily, and the Chi Family was no exception.

A look of regret filled Chi Yuanxing’s father, Chi Jinxian’s eyes: “Oh, I wonder if your grandfather…”

Chi Yuanxing’s eyes drooped slightly: “Father, don’t think too much, everyone has their own destiny.”

Chi Jinxian looked at his son, seeming to be stunned by Chi Yuanxing’s words, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly: “I couldn’t see through it…”

The Chi Family had the Yin-Yang Eyes attribute in their genes since their ancestors, and they believed in the theory of fate, yet they were foolish in this matter.

Chi Yuanxing shook his head: “No, Dad, I just hope you don’t get stuck in the past.”

Chi Xia had been running around for the family business in his early years, and he suffered from overwork and illness in his later years. Chi Jinxian always felt that he had not shared the burden for his father, which led to his father’s death.

He had always felt guilty.

“Okay.” Chi Jinxian nodded, he certainly understood his son’s good intentions, but people always have some regrets in their lives.

No matter what others say or do, they can’t let go.

Just like Kun Nan will never see Chi Xia again…

Among the group, the biggest changes were Luo Yu and the others.

They were all young, some children died and some went missing, and most of their lives were spent searching, their bodies and minds were greatly traumatized.

If they hadn’t met Chaoyang, their bodies would only have become weaker and weaker, eventually leading to a depressed end.

After cultivating the Cultivation Technique, almost all their illnesses disappeared, as if they were different people.

Everyone looked at each other, happy about each other’s changes.

Having known each other for so many years, these people were not relatives, but more like family.

The whole room was filled with laughter and chatter. Just as they were chatting happily, Chaoyang came in with a smile on her face.

“Sorry I’m late.”

“Not at all!”

“Miss Chaoyang, why do you say that, even if you wait for another ten years, it’s fine!”

“No, Miss Chaoyang.”

The moment they saw Chaoyang, everyone stood up to greet her. Chaoyang motioned for everyone to sit down, saying they didn’t need to be so polite.

“We are all family members of Lake Heart Island from now on, and we’ve all known each other for so long, so don’t be so polite.” Chaoyang said, and began to explain about the Ghost Contract.

Everyone started to listen attentively.

Chaoyang had already planned the direction of these people’s Contract Ghost.

Except for the Chi Family and the Rong Family, and those who had Ghost relatives around them like Luo Yu, the rest would contract combat-attribute Ghosts.

“To be frank with everyone, I can’t produce too many manuals at once, so you all need to contract Ghosts with combat power, so you will have the strength to better protect your family.”

Of course, they knew that Chaoyang couldn’t produce too many of these magical items, but even so, taking out thirty-six at once still surprised them again and again.

“Regarding the Chi Family, I have some connection with my family, so I’ve given them more contract quotas, and then the Rong Family…” Chaoyang glanced at Zhao Qingming, “so I hope everyone can understand.”

Although she didn’t need to explain this to everyone, and she believed that these people would not have any objections to her arrangement, but since they were all members of Lake Heart Island, and had an inseparable connection with Chaoyang.

She still said a few more words to eliminate everyone’s doubts.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads and then nodded again.

In their eyes, this cultivation matter was a great opportunity, a pie falling from the sky, so how could they have any other opinions?

It was a great honor to be selected, they wouldn’t think too much.

After Chaoyang made her arrangements, she released the Ghosts from Hongtong Village that had already been numbered.

After the last agreement, this time the Ghosts came out much quieter. Although their expressions were still reluctant, they no longer made a fuss.

Finally, she released the Beggar Elder and the Rain Flower Boy for everyone to choose.

The quiet room became lively again. Those without Ghost relatives all stood up and inquired about the Ghosts’ Special Abilities.

Chaoyang didn’t interfere with this.

Even if they didn’t contract combat Ghosts in the end, it didn’t matter, anyway, Chaoyang only gave suggestions, the rest was up to them to decide.

Obviously, this time, with the cooperation of the Hongtong Village Ghosts, both inquiries and contracts were very smooth.

Before dinner, everything was settled.

Chaoyang also took out the Contract Talismans she had prepared earlier, and took out the Soul-Locking Bead from her pouch, releasing Luo Yu’s daughter, Yan Yan.

Yan Yan had been kept in the Soul-Locking Bead since Luo Yu moved, and today she finally saw the light of day.

She smiled sweetly at Chaoyang.

During the days she lived in the Soul-Locking Bead, she had absorbed one thousand Hell Money, and had eaten several Enlightenment Pills, she was overjoyed.

“Then, let the contract begin!”

As Chaoyang chanted the Mantra, the Contract Talisman turned into a sky full of starlight, binding humans and Ghosts together.
